Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot's youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07

You're pretending to be sarcastic because you know how pathetic it is that you're unironically saying this shit

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why do you feel so positive about Thunderf00t? The guy is supposed to be a physicist and does not even think about the squared cube law. He got full of his own shit once he became popular many years ago.

Any scientist should know about such an extremely basic thing.

If the does not even have the slightest idea about what he is talking about, he needs to shut the fuck up. But he does not and people believe him.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're welcome to elaborate.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where and when he doesn't know what he talks about. Given his works are open access it should be easy for you to elaborate on that. I look forward to your rebuttal.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Watch his video about the hyperloop where he pulls a vacuum behind a little ball and then let's it fly away by breaking the vacuum. Fuck I remember way too many details for this piece of shit.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you distill that to concrete sentences with citations.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am not wasting my time trying to prove what a pile of garbage that person is. If you find him okay... so be it.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So you can't then, and, are full of shit. How am I not surprised.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I already told you where to find him spouting nonsense. But if you really need to get personal: You seem to like that superficial, elon-like person. Why should I care what you think?

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org -1 points 3 months ago

Ad hominem <3

Good to know that when squeezed you're analogous to Moscow Mitch.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you gotta be joking, thunderf00t is among the most unbearable, ignorant, most self-assured assholes going. he harassed random women for having opinions he disagreed with for years.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i'm european, i used to be a fan of thunderf00t too. but he became really really bad, he was an alt-right troll for awhile, and only really split from the rest of the pack because they didn't agree with him about brexit.

he is a pathetic, ignorant, quote-mining bigot who should be completely forgotten. being right about elon musk is a stopped clock being right twice a day situation. there are plenty of other channels which did a far better job of pointing out elon's grifts without also posting 3,000 videos about how anita sarkeezian is the anti-christ

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're most likely not European.

The fact you don't put Anita and Elon in the same bag, US grifters, tells me all I need to know. Anita is a blundering idiot that grifted a bunch of parasites into a market that should have never existed. Instead of using Alanah Pearce (Lawd has she been harassed) Lucy James and the like, that actually work in the field and know the ACTUAL problems rather than creating rage bate to cash in on victim points. She and the much maligned sweet baby were consulting on games that were subcontracting slavelike labour in Indonesia and other SE Asian countries during their consulting. Most of the victims at those places were women. Grifters gonna grift! Sarkeesian and her ilk have done nothing for the feminist movement (which I'm a part of), worse, they set us back decades. She left all blue collar women on whom the lion's share of injustice falls upon, behind. She could have addressed the preponderance of women in QA and community management and how that disproportionately makes them more likely to be laid off. How also in gaming, they make less for the same work. How career progress is usually limited by patriarchal hierarchical organisations in AAA studios. Fuck that noise, feminism is bitching about a bald dude killing some nuns in spandex in a videogame. She ignored the real issues because those were very likely to avoid her getting hired to consult on games as the C types don't really like left wing talking points flying around the office. Fucking bougie causes.

jesus fucking CHRIST you have some baggage here, huh?

putting anita and elon into the same category is literally one of the most delusional takes i have ever heard. you do realize that one of those people is one of the wealthiest living people in the world, a nazi, who bought a social media platform because he was so desperate for approval he decided to buy it...

and you're comparing that to some fucking totally random popular feminist who made literally a baby's first feminist analysis video series????

anita wasn't trying to solve every feminist issue in the world, you realize? she wanted to make the videos she wanted to make.

anita's videos didn't bully or harass anyone, they didn't go on and on about how men demand respect because of their genitals, they didn't personally target anyone. they did a very introductory analysis into feminist theory for media criticism.

thunderf00t's average video is significantly worse than the worst thing anita ever did.

also, why the fuck would i lie about being from europe... you're just wrong and you want to jump to conclusions...

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You lost me at:

literally a baby's first feminist analysis video series????

The field of feminism, particularly in video games, is wide and old. Start with Nina Huntemann.

Grifters gonna grift and cash in on other's work and victim points.

Also, when the average US american tells you they're italian or Irish c'ause peepaw was Italian/Irish I'm skeptical. Also your post history is full of americanisms.

Go read some research and then come back to lecture me about feminism.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

yeah fuck off, i am not lowering myself to debate feminism with anyone who is a self-confessed fan of the author of the feminism vs facts video series... get a fucking grip on reality.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (7 children)

"lowering myself" to debate feminism with someone citing academic research when my only argument is self-serving.

FTFY

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

telling people to do their own research isn't citing academic research lmfao

you are a total fucking joke, you have SO much to learn and you're trying to lecture someone so far out of your league.

such a peak reddit moment. can't imagine for a second that you might not be the smartest guy in the room.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

TIL citing Nina Huntemann, a staple in the theme of feminism in games is "do your own research".

Cool beans. What's next, you're going to say that advocating for POC feminism is facebook research right?

You're so US american it's not even funny!

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

do you think for a moment that i am reading more than 15% of your messages? you are so fucking beneath my intellect i don't even need to try. you defended your fanboyism of noted misogynist thunderf00t by trying to debate me about feminism. it is honestly the most pathetic shit i've ever seen. fuck off back to reddit.

"you are an American who denies it because you're aware of modern Western thought".

The weirdest accidental (despite giving America far more credit than it deserves) praise for America I've seen.

As much as "I was just following orders" is not enough to excuse someone of their responsibility in atrocities, "I was just issuing orders" will not excuse anyone either.

Anyone who thinks that just because someone didn't pull the trigger, that means they're not guilty, you can get your ass back in line to lick elons boots.

This is in the same vein as "Hitler did some good things" kind of cognitive dissonance. While the statement may not be wholly false, the fact that anyone could overlook everything he did that was bad, to find some small piece of something he did that can be construed as "good" is simply trying to put an objectively evil person into a better light, when they do not deserve it.

There are plenty of misunderstood people in history that did very good things, and were killed/maimed/murdered/imprisoned/tarred/feathered/whatever, because they did something that the wrong people saw as bad.

Nobody should ever try to find a shining light of good deep down in the black abyss of Hitler's life.

I know people need to eat and times are difficult, but I would have quit way before he said that. I still wonder why he has so many employees left.
