[QUOTE=ChronoBlade;51580064]it creates an 'us vs. them' situation which I have only begun to witness in the recent years. Genuine morons come out of the woodwork thanking they're solving problems by placing a group on blast but just end up doing shit all.[/QUOTE]
You're unhappy with people "placing a group on blast" while specifically calling out the entirety of BLM as an antagonistic force. It's counter-productive. I've done that with Trump voters, but at this point I see it's not helping.
BLM is complete bullshit though, it's not even close to the same thing.
How did they manage to miss the point of blue lives matter? The whole point was to support the cops who were being fucking attacked and even shot at in some cases by nutters who'd decided every cop was a mad black man killing machine.
[QUOTE=Super Muffin;51579763]The MTV video wasn't funny and it can definitely be seen as divisive, but it seems like people (including Ethan) are getting offended at some of the stuff in the video for overblown reasons.
Like, I get what Ethan and Hila were going for but I really don't want to see H3H3 turn into another "DUMB SJW'S BTFO!!!" channel. I was hoping they could bring their humor and charm to issues like this without getting defensive.[/QUOTE]
If I learned anything at all from GamerGate, it's to just chill out and let these things pass. Like, MTV or Cracked or Buzzfeed puts out a stupid video, why even go through the effort if making a reaction video? You're just giving it more exposure when the only thing they care about is making nerds angry, which generates page views to laugh at how dumb it is when people say "hey look at this dumb video," which just puts more money in their pocket which was the whole point in the first place.
Not throwing shade at H3H3 because it was still a funny video, but like seriously. Maybe starving them of oxygen is the best choice in the long run.
Protip: They don't actually care about your opinion of their reaction, and their reaction is fake a good chunk of the time too (you know, like most actors.) All they care about, much like the article they respond to, is revenue. It's the newest form of leeching revenue off trends.
I'll shill out for dollar shave club. Fantastic razors and good body wash.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;51579494]When I read shit like this it just makes me want MTV to pull stuff like this more. If your response to the loser interns at MTV doing dumb shit like this is to vote in demagogues then I gladly encourage MTV to fuel your self destructive tendencies.
Because honestly at that point fuck you.[/QUOTE]
A lack of willingness to empathize doesn't help anyone. You should be able to understand the feeling even if you dont agree/sympathize with it.
[QUOTE=Trixil;51578682]the white face kind of grossed me out to be honest, not saying that it was bad or anything, but it just looked [I]gross[/I][/QUOTE]
It was almost like someone took Ronald McDonald and inverted the colors

So you hate Trump and people like Trump and their supporters but you'd like a course of action to take place that would only increase the support for people like Trump.
Take a step back and look at what you're doing. Have you considered that you like hating on Trump more than you'd like him to be gone? Talk about self destructive tendencies.

He'd rather have grossly incompetent demagogue to hate on than not have one at all though.
Japanese people were the original inventors of white face.

Or I think they were, I have no idea about history of makeup.

Not comparable to blackface. That makeup wasn't used with the intent of looking like a european or american.
The thing that bugs me more than whatever Buzzfeed MTV etc. might say is that they're wasting a potential progressive platform on shitty cringey videos that probably won't go much further than the non-constructive argument shitstorms on social media. These videos are good for echo chambers, not so much anyone who has anything to learn.
