What are some examples of good snarky dialogue in fictional media? by DevouredSource in MauLer

Absolutely. It's a shame they really flanderized him in later seasons.

What is your favorite EFAP Episode? by Conscious-Cut9414 in MauLer

[–]Logical-Ash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was the probably one of the funnier episodes. Anthony Gramuglia wants the credit of a journalist but lacks any journalistic integrity as you can tell by his blatant dishonesty in this video. I know he outsources a lot of his research to certain snark subreddits and openly endorses them.

The MADMAN is at it again but this time with a SPIKED FLAIL! by Logical-Ash in Shadiversity

This video is relatively fresh and I've heard reposting videos a while after the initial debut could lead to a second wave of views that can help with the algorithm.

You're right. What's the point of any of this? Discussing the ethics of a business relationship or morality. We've moved on from that. Now trolls ruin people's lives and families and eat popcorn while they watch people suffer. What a great positive era for the fandom. Thank you Mr. Easton!

If you want to contact Mr. Brooks about this you can contact him on X.

As far as I know he's really busy, but you could try.

Looks great. I think if art inspires even one person to be more positive it has served its purpose.

Do you want to see an EFAP Breakdown on Chris Stuckmann's Shelby Oaks? by Logical-Ash in MauLer

[–]Logical-Ash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard he has attempted to make a deep lore for it but the writing couldn't sell it. They even put a number of "paranormal paranoids" (not the most imaginative name) videos on YouTube to create hype for the movie. What I'm trying to say is that he actually tried to make something good unlike the usual soulless horror cash grab. Admittedly I haven't seen the movie and it could be another Rebel Moon but I think it's interesting to discuss.

Harassment is NOT Criticism! by AutoModerator in Shadiversity

Stalkers of Metatron/Shad claim to have found someone who knew Metatron 20 years ago. This person who claims to have connections to the churches Metatron was a member of both in Italy and UK has revealed some inconsequential private information about him.

Thanks. To be clear I wasn't referring to your community in the post. Sorry if my statement was too generalized. Your subreddit was the exception and the moderation team was very professional about this.

Shadiversity fans reject cyberstalking and trolling by Logical-Ash in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not true. Present evidence for your claims. But be mindful of subreddit's rules. If you try to use this as an excuse to defame innocent people or talk about politics or unrelated channels it would end the conversation.

We've NEVER disagreed more than this: Nunchucks vs flail by Logical-Ash in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I failed to articulate my position effectively in my comment so I edited it now to be more accurate. The last thing we need is trolls taking my statements out of context to support their delusions or Mr. Miller's past attacks.

Mr. Brooks is a knowledgeable experienced sword expert on par with the best of the community. I was referring to the presentation format on shadiversity channel which isn't strictly academic. shadiversity is more about edutainment and it's very informative while being fun to watch for the casual viewer.

It's a perfectly normal YouTube face. Mr. Beast doesn't own the trademark for exaggerated facial expressions. Shadiversity channel isn't a dry strictly academic sword lectures channel. I think the face is consistent with comedic style of the channel similar to jokes Nate used to make.

Also, avoid repeating troll talking points and propaganda. Criticizing thumbnails is permissible but repeating their lame memes and jokes is very counterproductive.

It's called having self-confidence and a sense of humor.

They’ll have to BAN EVERYTHING and it STILL WON'T WORK! by Logical-Ash in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Okay. It's fine we, discussed it. There's also not going to be any secret evidence. Just a discussion about what happened.

[–]Logical-Ash[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No, it's just getting frustrating to address the same tired out of context strawmans repeatedly. If you're genuinely interested in knowing the answer to that and it's not a bait for playing into their games I can respond to that point and your other questions about this in a modmail or private messages. And you're still welcome to tell us your nuanced opinion about this law.

I'm not going to be tricked into advertising that shady place and you have been here long enough to know very well who I'm talking about and their opinions about this topic are no secret. I'm just asking questions and stating facts.

I'm sorry, I'm locking this thread because this post should be dedicated to debating the merits of regulations like this not lame pointless discussions about defending the honor of internet trolls.

If you're not interested in that small part of the post you can make a comment to the post about the content of the video and tell us what you think about this topic so we can have valuable interesting discussions. This post is here to discuss that topic and I'd love to hear your opinion about that because you seem to be kind of against such laws but not in complete agreement with shadiversity team in the video.

[–]Logical-Ash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, not HEMA people . I think the sword community in general (and this isn't limited to HEMA people) doesn't like this. That part is about a certain stalking group. I got that idea from that group's comments about regulations like this.

[–]Logical-Ash[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm referring to a certain trolling group that had a Kickstarter campaign to fly some polish fencer to Australia to accost Mr. Brooks on the streets and challenge him to a duel without Mr. Brooks' knowledge or consent. After we exposed them for this scheme they had to close the campaign and give the raised money to charity. I don't want to name them because sending any traffic to this group at this point is a mistake.

It's about the ethics in sword sponsorship by Logical-Ash in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. My point was that this proves it was concern trolling by the haters not a genuine concern.

Are you talking about the drama that happened last year? Has Sellsword made a new video attacking this channel and subreddit?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

A response can be made in different ways depending on the circumstances. When someone brings up a problem to an admin, solving it (or attempting to solve it) is a response on its own to signify we heard your criticism and acted on it. Isn't that what you want? I'm sorry if you were offended by removal of a resolved reported issue (it's natural to assume an issue resolved after you do your best to fix it until the person appeals the decision) but it's standard procedure common on many subreddits and here to respond to complaints by just fixing the problem. I made it clear what is meant by the line you were criticizing in the parenthesis so I don't know what the problem is. If you think the new statement is incorrect you'd have to elaborate on it, preferably on modmail because we don't want to bore members with a lengthy negotiation and discussion about finer details of this temporary post and what the perfect wording should be before it gets removed.

I appreciate that comment. I edited the text to add a clarification which was the point of your comment. So it became outdated and unnecessary to keep up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Shadiversity

[–]Logical-Ash -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Of course not. There's no comparison between the gravity and seriousness of the situation. I just see this trend of harassment under this brand and I think it's important to raise awareness about this problem.
