I almost wish there were more episodes this season.
It was pretty entertaining watching everyone on my timeline slowly turn on the show week-by-week.

Spoiler fyi time travel in endgame actually creates a separate timeline rather than changing the existing one. when steve goes back in time at the end, he actually was living in a separate “universe”, the movie just never explaines how he got back to the original one.

I actually predicted they would do this; the writers aren't even trying.

If you're a content creator who makes hyper-partisan, biased and misleading videos with the aim of riling people up, deepening the divide and validating the prejudices of a group which you rely on financially while skirting around controversy and cooperating with more extreme people? So be it. But I'm just as free to call them out for being problematic asshats who play a major part in this post-truth and highly divided society where people absolutely are introduced to radical and extreme beliefs through their content, and that they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so little to combat it because they reap the benefits.
Fair enough. Thank you for the third article, that was a very enlightening read.

Type into google: “florida man” followed by your birthday (ex: “florida man january 16”) and post the results.

Pretty funny that WB would get the very guy they were ripping off to come in and redo their movie two years later.

Here are the first 7 comments I found on a Young Turks video from 2 days ago. Literally the second video I happened to click on. Also on the sidebar, there was a Jordan Peterson vs SJW video. You may not be satisfied, because it's not as extensive of digging as yours, but I feel it's all I need. You're saying: "look how terrible these people act in these communities", and yet here is how they act on a far-left youtube channel. It only makes sense to me that these people would cluster more heavily in more right-wing communities. I'm not sure how that makes the content creator at all responsible for them. Who are you to say that these people are not genuinely looking for solutions when they bring up gun control, media influencers, radicalization and so on? When people are talking about gun control, they're looking for solutions; when they try to connect Chelsea Clinton to the tragedy because she said something that pissed them off, they're not. I interpreted Batch's post as criticizing the latter. I would never condone any harassment but let's not pretend that a small group (of students) confronting Clinton isn't anything more than just that. It is when you have thousands of people and big name journalists agreeing with it. Quite frankly, the mob's attacks on free speech is far more concerning to me than anything Pewdiepie has ever done. While that might be true for some people, I doubt it's a majority. They're certainly very loud, regardless. Denouncing "the alt right" when you share many of the same views, attack the same people and present a slightly watered down version of what the most notorious voices are saying doesn't mean much. Like I said, this seems like thought-policing. I don't see what they're supposed to do to change this, other than changing their beliefs. I could post videos of several of the people you mentioned separating themselves from the alt-right, criticizing the Charlottesville rally, criticizing the Great Replacement conspiracy, condemning the attack last Friday, etc. but I'm not sure it would persuade you. If you had specifically mentioned people like Lauren Southern as radicalizing people, I would be with you, but for the people you listed I just don't see the connection. I think it's disingenuous to pretend this doesn't happen when people like Bannon and Stormfront have explicitly commented on how useful of a recruitment technique it is. I looked into this the other day and all I could find was Steve Bannon (allegedly) stating that Gamergate could make an "army" of Trump voters. And you and I have some pretty different views on how the "fucking nigger", "death to all jews", Shapiro as a host, promoting a holocaust denier channel and all the other stuff somehow are not politics being reflected in his content. Context is key. He deleted/apologized for/claimed ignorance for most of those things. I'm not sure how people can genuinely think he's some nazi dogwhistle channel with this in mind. I don't watch Pewdiepie, but from what I've read from his fans, he never gets political aside from these cherrypicked slip ups. Let's not pretend this is some unfounded smear campaign against an innocent epic gamer. It pretty much is. Regardless, it seems like pretty poor taste to start criticizing a youtuber for accidentally saying the n-word in an article that's supposed to be about 50 people losing their lives. Your entire position seems kinda contradictory as you both admit that there's a discussion to be had but simultaneously appear to be dismiss any of it actually happening. I believe there are discussions to be had about the topics I listed in my previous post but I personally disagree with the discussion you're having about holding people accountable that may have little more than some right-wing sympathies (Tim Pool). In my mind the only people connected are the ones that directly sell these ideas and the communities that house them (8chan, Stormfront). Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see the connection between Pewdiepie's content and the far-right that can't be explained, and when the media tries to connect him to far-right actions, I do think it's disingenuous. Sorry if I missed anything.

People are very right in looking for solutions to these complicated problems.
Batch's point is that these people aren't genuinely looking for solutions and just want to point the finger at their political opponents while jumping through hoops to connect it to the shooting. As he already referenced, Chelsea Clinton is currently being dragged on twitter for supposedly being responsible for the shooting because she was previously critical of Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar. How is this constructive? I disagree with the notion that anti-SJW crowd is a gateway toward extremism, especially when most of the people you listed have denounced Alex Jones, the alt-right, the great replacement, etc. Felix may have right-wing, possibly even alt-right, views but you have to dig through his "Following" list on twitter to see it; it doesn't reflect in his content. This seems like little more than thought-policing. The shooter had stated that he specifically picked his rifle in order to violently escalate the gun debate. Does it really seem likely that he was radicalized by Pewdiepie, or that he wanted people to think he was radicalized by Pewdiepie? I doubt that he was genuinely a fan of Pewdiepie or Candace Owens, and when the media uses this as an opportunity to reignite their agendas against these people, it is just playing right into the killer's hands. This is why we should stop giving exposure to killers and their motives. There's a discussion to be had about communities like 8chan, gun control, and mental health, but much of the "discussion" is just further polarizing people.

this will surely cause waves, in one form or another.
This seems to have been his goal, so hopefully a majority of people won't fall for it, at least in regards to his "manifesto".
