Remember, licking door knobs is illegal on other planets.

I don't really watch the news (or TV in general). And that's not because I like to humor myself as trying to stay away from the biased BS because we all have that regardless. It's because I spend almost all my time either working or vidya gamez. With that being said, I still know the game with reporters and how it's set up. Which is why I find the idea of TYT being around after the election to be an anomaly.

I can imagine that working with politics and keeping a straight face must really suck, the constant stress of always dealing with shit you not only disagree with but hate outright can really get to some people. Yet even with clear biased news sources like MSNBC and FOX, there's still a level of professionalism to some degree when approaching the topic. Yet I don't ever get that from TYT.

What's even half-professional about going "You're fucking dumb, I think you're garbage." in any way? The outright tantrums spewed from Cenk and Ana make me wonder who bothers with them if it's not for a quick laugh. Suprisingly though, Ana's comments on Trump's victory is more reasonable than Cenk's comments. "I can't believe Loser Donald won...." Even if he had lost the election, the idea of Cenk calling Trump a loser is just silly. The man is a fucking Millionaire who makes money on saying crazy bullshit, and he just won the Presidency. Trump is a lot of negative things, but a loser is not one of them.

Do any of you watch the TYT, or any news outlets that approach the subject of politics the same? Can anyone clue me on on what draws people to angry idiots shouting over the internet? How do they still get money to continue their show?

Was there any reason why they only streamed it online without giving any notice? I remember watching the trailer on Youtube way back when it first was uploaded then I got no news on it and only when season 4 was released on home media did I know they weren't canceled.

Are they any good? I finished season 2 back when it still aired on the Nickelodian channel but then they appeared to have hid seasons 3 and 4 from under my nose so for the longest time I had no idea it actually existed until both were out on DVD and BD. Now I have both seasons coming in the mail and I'm getting mixed reception of both of them.

For the record I liked season 2 and didn't really see the issues people had with Korra in it or the pacing of the story (although anything not involving Korra tended to drag on).

So does Sep7 have any views on Seasons 3 & 4?

people have done worse for less, two months is excessive

It's a fuckin bullshit ban

The ban is way too long.

LC has stated that the ban length was contributed by other things more than just that one thread, such as his recent mood since November and all around complete aggressiveness. It was more of a slow boil of smaller things with his face comment being the trigger.

I was in the middle of doing end-game for FFXII when my PS2 broke.

Fucker beat me to it.

POO IN THE LOO

Why couldn't you have been a total Memester back then?

Perhaps infighting wouldn't be the proper word to use then? My experience is different, anyone that disagrees is ignorant and uninformed with hive members literally shutting down responses without even looking at sources.

However, if what you say is true (which I'm not doubting, we just have conflicting anecdotal experiences), I don't see a reason to get upset over a single forum just fucking around when there's clearly better places out there.

you do realize that's the very essence of debate, right? perhaps you're reading too literally into my words and not recognizing the intent behind them. your suggestion was that politically correct communities are prone to rule by hivemind. my experience tells me otherwise- there is plenty of room for debate in "PC" communities, we don't just shake each others' hands and nod and hum to each other- we just choose to engage with each other without saying nasty hateful shit for no reason.

Any place that has infighting over minor ideological differences doesn't sound like a much better place for sophisticated debate. I'd rather go to a fake racist place like here where at least I know everyone is joking around rather than busting a blood vessel over shit that isn't worth it.

weird, all the "politically correct" communities i frequent have lots of petty infighting among members due to the most minor ideological differences just like any other board. wowzers!

A culture that doesn't bend over backwards to not hurt the feelings of people on a backwater video game forum? What does anyone here have to lose by spouting racist bullshit? Nothing. If it bothers you that much I don't know what to tell you since any place on the internet that does try its hardest to be politically correct will be suffocated by biased hive minds, regardless of political orientation.

serious has long been a sad little reflection of the culture /pol/ cultivated. chalking it up to "that's just the internet bro everyone's racist!" isn't any better btw lmfao.

RIP In Peace Sep7

Didn't even last a week.

It's not as prevalent, you really have to dig in comparison to looking for SJW communities.

y'know everyone associates tumblr with like extreme leftism but it's really just as easy to find right-wing communities that go all the way to straight up neo-nazism on there

Fuck you he gave me a great avatar.

Although as much as I love it, I will be changing it to something else afterwards. Variety is the spice of life ya know?
