[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46086509]Just make 5 11-minute videos, and release each one several months apart. The Tropes vs. Women audience will LOVE it![/QUOTE] Don't forget a kickstarter!

Its actually true that more people watch videos that are six to ten minutes in length than longer videos. Basically the longer the video the less percentage of the video they actually watch. You'll also get people coming back to you.

It’s been a wild ride and for everyone involved, we appreciate all the work that you put in. The hardest thing about a crowdfunding campaign is to get the word out there. And to all our supporters who took the time to talk about it, to tweet about it, and to just make people aware of it, thank you. Without you guys none of what we accomplished would be possible.[/quote] [quote]The Link belonging to both 4chan and 8chan has raised $25,806.

Yeeeee.

Is TFYC's website loading for anyone else? I can get to Tumblr just fine, only TFYC is down for me. EDIT: Oh, it's the link Here's a working one: [url]http://thefineyoungcapitalists.tumblr.com/post/98525462265/on-endings[/url]

Just complete and utter madness.

The funny thing is, I used to really respect the people at Cracked.com, especially David Wong, for stuff like his "A Gamer's Manifesto". But they've all been getting worse and worse with time. What the hell happened?

[QUOTE=gudman;46086969]Seriously? Jesus. Actually, yeah, make smaller vids. It'll put less of a strain on you and this way I think more people will watch it too. Dedicating an hour of one's life to listen how much of a piece of shit one person can be requires a lot of patience to not just say "I get it, she's an emotional terrorist" and stop. And since I believe your vids have some educational value ("how not to treat your partner"), it would be good if they spread around more.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46087190]Its actually true that more people watch videos that are six to ten minutes in length than longer videos. Basically the longer the video the less percentage of the video they actually watch. You'll also get people coming back to you.[/QUOTE] I think this is true, but I'm purposefully making the videos extremely and painfully long for a reason. It's easy to dismiss a 5 minute video as clickbait bullshit. It's really hard to dismiss [b]a 55 minute long video[/b] as clickbait bullshit. Length speaks volumes about the content found within it, even if people don't watch the whole thing. Also, generally speaking, you don't need to watch the whole thing. All you really need to watch is the first 9 minutes and maybe a couple in the analysis/proof. The 55 minutes are there just so you can dig into any single minute and find how much bullshit is going on. I think I might move to smaller videos later. For now, though, I want the sheer amount of content to be overwhelming. Because it is. I think having it 55 minutes long shows just how much crap people have refused to talk about, to the point where you can talk about it for 55 minutes straight and only have one part finished. [editline]27th September 2014[/editline] tl;dr - you should be overwhelmed by the legnth, because it is pretty overwhelming how much is going on in the logs. I think I might cool my jets after this 2nd part though, I'm gonna need a break.

Is it just me or does Reimu have bigger balls by posting those videos than most of us in this thread?

[QUOTE=Reimu;46088821]I'm not gonna lie, when the doxxing shit happened on pastebin last week, the first thing I thought was, "When is this going to happen to me?"[/QUOTE] Doxxing won't hurt you unless someone acts on it. Until you start seeing e-mails from your boss telling you that you're fired or get packages full of syringes, you can feel safe. Well, relatively safe. The biggest danger of being harassed online is getting spooked and doing something [i]unbelievably stupid.[/i]

Then again, she went to a bar with a blatantly infected piercing and has hair that's been brutalized by an endless steam of hair dye on it, so that's probably asking too much.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I should stop looking at those tweets. I keep reading the responses and end up in an endless cycle of disliking those people for spitting out non-sense bullshit and hating me for effectively wasting my time reading it. "The harassment needs to stop!" a random person says, a few posts later calling all men "self-entitled pigs". And it would be fine if that was either irony or a single post that you made because you were mad at that moment. But their entire feed is fucking full of that. And they keep posting, not because they want to achieve something like equality but because they went to fight [B]against [/B]something, not [B]for[/B] something.

Honestly I don't even follow the community crap, I just follow the news and make sure the politics of it all isn't personally affecting me. GG is a bit of a mess, because everything surrounding it is really messy. I'm sort of backing away from it now, not because I [i]don't[/i] support it, but because I'd rather do the abuse angle and keep that prevalent as people try to sweep away ZQ's abuse on both sides.

That'd be best for both you and GG since every video you post some idiot comes running in talking about like "See GG can't shut up about her". You also avoid the negatives of GG.

Zoe really has nothing to do with it anymore, but SJ needs this badly. It will also prevent them from immediately writing you off due to GG, though who knows what other magical reasons they will come up with. [QUOTE=Reimu;46088821]I'm not gonna lie, when the doxxing shit happened on pastebin last week, the first thing I thought was, "When is this going to happen to me?"[/QUOTE] If someone doxxes you or sends you any threats of any sort, do not respond, do not acknowledge. Screenshot/record EVERYTHING, immediately distribute said evidence to trusted friends (who won't share it unless you instruct them to), and then talk to them (or even us, pretty knowledgable bunch here) about what to do from there. Standard harrassment protocol really, but it never hurts to remind people.

I might just go ahead and "officially" distance myself from GG because it will let me make my videos in peace. I've already implied to my non-GG friends that that might happen, so that might give me the perfect opening to stop the GG stuff and just help Eron (which is really what I'm more concerned with anyway, and have been from the start).

I feel like it would be havoc, because so many people in different communities are supportive of me. From freelance publications all the way to SRS and even 8chan. Plus it would look as if people are targeting the moderates/"positive" people. Or, even worse, an abuse survivor trying to out an abuser and help other abuse survivors. I feel like people would explode.

So how long until the SJWs move from attacking anyone who has ever played a video game in their life if they dont agree with their entirely unsound methods of advocating social just and reform or their blatant efforts of misguided vengance ,to just coming out and saying they are out to try and kill all video games. Its honestly what they are trying to do at this point. Anyone notice how they backpedaled again from saying it wasnt about gamers but mysoginistic gamers and now its back to all gamers again?
