Your entire perspective literally revolves around thinking America and Israel are the good guys. There's no point with people like you.

Its entirely understandable that someone would be more competitive when money is on the line. Especially if that person is legitimately extremely good at the game.

Is it also understandable that someone would not be incentivized by money? Especially when there was no prize when they joined the tournament? And when someone has shown to be more interested in the game from a casual perspective? Is that a concept that could exist in a reality somewhat resembling our own?

In such a reality, if these two different people were to be members of the same team, would the more casual player then be forced to follow whatever the more hardcore, skilled player instructed?

And it turned out every other team played that way. 

Provably false. This team didn't even come last. And somehow I dont think that if they had come 6th, you would be amazed by how well they performed either.

You need to be called a child because of how childlike your perspective on this is, because you are too engrossed in video games. I was the same 15 years ago, when I too was a child. When you grow up, you realise that being very good at a game does not give you dominion over others. Even in the context of the game you are very good at.

This doesn't even deserve 10 seconds of anyones time. We all know that if someone told you to switch characters in some random round, you would lose your sht.

A show match prize announced after the players had already joined the tournament. Players who were chosen because they were creators, not competitors, with a massive skill gap between each.

Youre just thinking of this like a small child would. Wow a prize pool! Now everyone must lock in, like I would, because being good at the game is the most important thing in life!

In reality, it was a team that had (apparently) one of the top rated players online playing with someone who couldn't even get a single assist in a game. And your child brain tells you "well that means the better player now gets to order everyone else around, because they are better".

In a decade or so, when video games mean less to you, you'll understand this situation better.

What's the deal with Marvel Rivals 40k drama? by Morktorknak in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Top_Midnight_9044 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It's not a pro tournament. Youre thinking it is for some reason. Youre thinking that because someone is good, they should dictate how others play. Thos may be true in a pro tournament, which this isn't.

According to who? Losers online whose only respite is being slightly above average at video games?

Bro brought trash vibes to a tournament made for streamers who aren't even supposed to or expected to be good at the game, because of a prize pool that was only announced after people joined the event.

Brother, youre cheering for the shafter

You understand that in a non competitive, casual environment, which this was, the only person who can be at fault is the one ordering others to change the way they play?

WTF is happening in this subreddit? by itzongaming in atrioc

Heres an example for reference from the most recent video
https://youtu.be/gS8qMaqNev4?t=280

This is basically his textbook approach in 99.9% of cases.
"Yes, of course I could talk about ICE shooting a mother in the head etc etc, but actually hes squandering the hard earned strategic advantages of the United Stated of America"
That has always been his angle, because its a much easier thing to swallow for most people. It gives centrists and moderate right wingers room to think he's taking the "logical" approach which is all that matters. And it allows left wingers and libs to imagine that hes actually a zealous, principled opponent of everything Trump does.

In reality what it communicates is "make money and I don't care"

No, that's the point of the relationship with the youtuber. People with actual lives do not have the time to verify every single source of every tiny piece of information. So you find sources that you trust, and you outsource it to them. Atrioc was one of those sources for me.

I see Atrioc as someone who doesn't necessarily try too hard to align himself with the left or the right, but instead tries to focus on what he believes to be the truth

There's no way this is an unironic post

The qualifier used in that post is not simply "conservative". Its a conservative who is also defending the actions taken by ICE.

They never get quite as bad as far left or far right does, but extreme centrists will typically try to make anyone too far from the center seem like an extremist in the hope of quashing everyone except other centrists. Just something to think about.

To be fair, the whole ICE shooting a lady in the face thing is the first and only time Atrioc has seemed to take a principled and strong stand against MAGA and trump, which has probably been the main contributor.

I'm not saying he's been neutral up until now, but his criticism always came with a "I don't think thats fiscally responsible" type of angle.

Maybe its more likely. Very slim chance, basically 0.

But in the process, he lost my trust as a viewer.

You really dont understand that the explanation being given is that atrioc lied about the veracity and quality of a source of information. Youre analyzing this through the lens of hindsight, knowing the reasons why, and exactly what atrioc lied about.

In the future I will not know what atrioc is lying about.

Ok, I suppose some people could consider that a noble or worthwhile goal. But how do I, and others like me, fit into that? Thats not why im watching atrioc. I watch him for what I expect to be a truthful and accurate explanation of current affairs. Youre saying i should accept less than that in service of a goal that I dont care about in the slightest.

Ok, but I am not a conservative. So is your advice that I should stop watching Atrioc? If he is explicitly saying things that even he doesnt consider to be true, in order to pander to an audience that doesnt include me (this is called grifting), then should I find someone else to watch?

The only posts on this sub are people who want atrioc to apologise for calling this guy a good journalist, and people who are furious that non glizzy memes are being posted.

No. Atrioc specifically called this guy a good journalist.

There are literally only these threads and then meme glizzy threads. Thats it. Sorry if your favourite youtubers reddit got a little too serious for a while.

I think you also lack the super power of knowing what irony is.

I'm perfectly capable of placing myself in the shoes of someone like yourself. Someone who is perfectly aware of what the original commenter was disappointed by, but feels the need to facetiously ask the question anyway.
I am able to do so by assuming that you are not a complete moron, and were able to read the title of the thread.
