It really is just a circle jerk about sjw's. His point about the infinite possibilities of topics to be "skeptical" about and everyone choosing literally one topic that really got me. Most can't admit that their best content is about sjw's, its all confirmation bias. Refusing to call themselves anti-sjw's is kinda weak, the are all a reaction to the movement really.
Don't forget the "I'm a classical liberal" line
or "So much for the tolerant left"
I'll stop, I'm just making myself mad at this point. I'm really sick of all this posturing. I wish we never got to the point where political shitflinging is so widely acceptable
My dad's become enamoured with channels like these, just has shit like atheism is unstoppable or sarg playing on his phone or on the TV constantly.
lord almighty it's hard watch him soak it all up, i don't have the heart to tell him how much of a dopey cunt he is
the 'skeptic' community shouldn't have any problems debunking dem arguments in this video but considering the issue some of them have whenever they're wrong and never fully retracts "muh opinners" besides starting dumb, pointless 'internalized' slapfights with others (aka thunderf00t vs sargon), guess the default of saying nothing at all will be the most fun to have from all of this. ouch, rip muh egos.
i mean, some are okay but this whole concept of a community that's based around being 'skeptic' towards stuff should be more of a mantra of the people, rather than a few select. fucking most of those within that 'community' got to this point because of GG to begin with. meh.
My skeptisona is a liberqueer bi-conservative masked fucknut wolf dressed in an ironic hugo boss outfit so I hated this video.
It did mention the jews tho so I'll give it a 1/10.

I have that shit with my SO.
He knows I think he's brainwashed and he nearly cried when I argued against and wouldn't believe that bill c-16 is the result of the regressive left giving up on science and legislating in a class of manipulative entitled welfare queen society-weakening cultural marxists.
I don't believe Youtube exists, can I have money for that?

ArmoredSkeptic is quite the "skeptic". Gets all his fucking information from some crazy Christian website.

greggorers, aka 'armoredskeptic', is a good example of that whole "durr durr original character/gimmick" theme. compensating the lack of personality and original banter while refusing to improve his content and his own damn self, in a way.
that 50 minute video tho, didn't watch it all but guess it could be called like a 'critical-meta-skeptic' skeptic video. can't believe that shoeonhead lives together with him tho, and makes way funnier vidders while being permastuck in 420p land. not having one of those made-up static (or sometimes slideshow animated) character.jpeg as the background in every. single. video. just why?
it's like day and night between those two, basically. one manages to make genuine entertaining content while the other one struggles to come up with a original thought, makes me kinda skeptical when it comes to the skeptic ect.
I'm not sure if I'd lump skeptics and MGTOWs together. Don't get me wrong, MGTOWs believe in some pretty creepy shit and they aren't any more entertaining than skeptics are, but I haven't really seen them repeatedly pushing a narrative of conspiracy and fear the way that skeptics do. They seem to just assume the audience already agrees with them and talk about weird shit like its common knowledge. It's not pleasant, but it's a rather different experience.
The sooner the "over-reaction to PC" stuff dies out the better. All I want is for people to be normally critical and not go super-ham to the other side acting like there's no such thing as social issues.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52555742]Forgot the part where you have a obessively passionate hate fetish for Anita sarkesian that involves collecting hundreds of pictures of her, analyzing/speculating on her dress and her sexual preferences. As well as constantly bringing her up and using her in the thumb nails of videos where she's completely irrelevant.[/QUOTE]
And also the part where they constantly say how they cant wait for her to be irrelevant and go away when in fact they are the largest reason as to why anybody still knows her name.
"Comedic banter" instead of taking solid points? Like this video does?
And "Don't talk to those nasty people that we don't talk to"? "Never speak out against us"? So like Steve Shives and what happened to Lacy Green?
Yeah you can laugh at people oversaturating youtube with flaming SJWs, just make sure that the things you are making fun of isn't done equally or more by the other side so to speak.
I enjoyed the comedic side of the video, but don't you guys think the author is straw-manning [I]just a bit[/I]?
As much as I'd love to see a good video of this type for the skeptic community, this really isn't it. Never once in the video I felt it as a cunning obvervation about the circlejerk contratrian nature of them.
I like the concept, but the execution of the video fell way off.

I mean this video isn't trying to be a serious piece of political debate or anything, it's a long gag intended for people who've already dealt with these channels before and know the score.

Found the Youtube Skeptic.
The so-called "skeptic" community is a fucking toxic mess, they do absolutely everything their opponents do, if not worse in some cases as they're more than happy to sic their fanbase on a individual that "wronged" them just to brush it under the rug with "well i didn't tell them explicitly to attack them!!! (just made a 2 hour video of me telling them how awful that person is with /pol/ memes)".
None of them are remotely as clever as they think they are, or try to present themselves as. Usually going off second or third-hand sources (how many times has shit-for-brains Sargon been caught not actually reading "his" sources now? It's a lot). Or obsessing over one fucking topic that every other person on the planet has moved on from, because they're hugely petty (hey Thunderfart!).

No, he did not, but 'tearing apart'? I don't remember it being that great a response to Armored's video, then again I'm not big on hbomberguys political videos so v:v:v

More like if a christian was making fun of muslims because they pick and chose what they want to follow from their book.

I really didn't get the vibe "both sides are equally wrong" here.

Okay? How does this address my post? I said, their opponents do exactly what the video makes fun of as well, and you basically replied "but skeptics are terrible".
The most important part about being a youtube skeptic is to state that the SJWs hate science and cite a middle school textbook as your scientific source because actual current, academic knowledge wouldn't agree with you.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52557209][url]http://www.patheos.com/blogs/barrierbreaker/sargon-akkad-twitter-suspended-tweeting-interracial-porn/[/url] also Sargon has sent people gay interracial porn as a form of harassment (that's why he got kicked off of twitter) [/QUOTE]
You know that he was replying with gay porn mostly to alt-righters who were contacting him, right? It's not like he was spamming people he didn't like.
These enlightened pseudo-intellectual youtubers that talk about political issues are the worst thing to come out of Youtube in the last few years.
Aside from them being fucking obnoxious they and their fans literally can't take an ounce of criticism and if you do criticise them like what I'm doing now you're just some sjw liberal cuck (not even a liberal). They just shout shitty buzzwords/phrases, memes and strawman to argue, but you're not allowed to point this out to them though. This is more anyone who's slightly /pol/ at this point.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52557277]If you did a little research you'd know that sargon doesn't like being identified as being an alt righter, [B]so yeah he was sending it to people he doesn't like. [/B][/QUOTE]
I should have phrased it better. He wasn't going around the twitter, finding someone who disagrees with him and spamming gay porn at them. He would reply with that 1 pic if an alt-righter would try to contact him. Saying that Sargon was harassing people with gay porn is not really showing the entire picture.
And I thought you didn't like alt-right?

despite consistently repeating their talking points, aswell as talking points of some more crazy groups like white nationalist. Something he's not unaware of as he's been called out on it multiple only for him to joke about it.
Don't forget the time Sargon and his weird friends mocked a person who had died less than 24(correct me if im wrong) hours ago! Fun stuff.

Whats the point of this needless callout? You can not like someone and still recognized when they're being harrassed. Even then what does this have to do with Vodkavia's like or dislike of the alt-right?
