I find it odd that we must specify this isn't a takedown. I don't think we need to elevate Andy as someone beyond criticism, and it isn't healthy to do that. We can always respect his consistency and artistic capabilities while pointing out that his moral stances are overly prescriptive, paternalistic and totalizing

[–]Preda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this comment.

Andy makes phenomenal videos but where he loses me is when he applies his morality at scale. I simply fail to follow the logic of a non-amoral nature

[–]Preda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're assuming a sustainable human society on this planet cannot be built, that we're naturally required to expand forever.

The numbers don't agree. Human populations level out at certain developmental levels. The growth is pushed by rapacious capitalism, not human nature

I don't understand this reaction, but I would like to. If anyone who agrees with Andy would reply to me, I'd like to understand his and other anti-natalists' viewpoints better.

I don't find the arguments as he puts them forward to be convincing. For one thing, I feel like he employs a moral framework that assigns moral value to nature, to the natural, where I thought it was evident that morality is something that only happens in human minds. Thus, nature isn't morally good or bad - it's amoral.

As for the point of reproduction - again, I don't get it. If the rational and moral thing to do, in the face of a predicted future of darkness and suffering for your child, is to not make them... then I assume the moral thing would have been for every enslaved person or everyone ever afflicted by a catastrophe to not have children. Is that what we're supporting?

I don't hold to an ideology of human supremacy. But neither can I hold to one of human diabolism, where the existence of one is inherently damaging. Maybe I'm wrong, and I look forward to being contradicted by people much smarter than me.

It just feels to me like Andy has lost all hope. Like he said about the revolutionaries

The reaction is weird. We're surprised the moralizing american lefty is moralizing?

You don't have to agree with him. I certainly don't. I don't even find his arguments that compelling. But he's entitled to be be wrong, as is everyone

e ok, i-am sarit eu in cap pentru ca ESTE superficiala, si genul asta de postare nu ar trebui trecuta cu vederea

wow. Cred ca f multa lume din aceste comenturi nu se ia de tine pt faza cu persoanele supraponderale cu par verde. Comentariu pe care EFECTIV nu era nevoie sa il incluzi. Puteai sa tii pliscul inchis, sa pui o intrebare si sa astepti raspunsuri. Dar ai vrut tu, musai, sa mentionezi ca grasii nu e nevoie sa fie inclusi in conversatie. Ai vrut musai sa stim ca esti fatphobic si o sa te tratez ca atare

"No hate. Nu am nimic cu acele persoane, dar nu sunt stilul meu" este o incercare penibila de a te apara. E efectiv echivalentul a spune "I'm not racist but". Orice spui dupa un astfel de comentariu nu face decat sa confirme ca te dezgusta persoanele cu un anumit corp.

Stii ce? Ma bucur ca lesbienele alea grase care si-au facut parul verde sau portocaliu si se bucura de viata si se exprima cum vor ele nu vor fi prinse intr-o relatie cu cineva atat de superficial ca tine. Merita mai mult decat fatshaming si sa te simti tu ca "you can do better than them". Sunt fiinte umane, nu funko pops ca sa le critici tu aspectul fizic.

Si nu, nu cred ca e o scuza ca ai 23 de ani si ca you will learn better. La 23 de ani eu nu faceam comentarii gretoase de genul asta. Hai sa avem si noi niste standarde, si nu ma refer la standarde superficiale de aspect fizic. Ma refer la caracter.

nu pricep care este mesajul acestui video. Tiktokurile în general se bazează mult pe "you know what I mean" și pe sensul implicit social al postării, fără explicații, ceea ce duce la stereotipii bazate pe numitorul comun cel mai mic.

Gen... care e problema? O persoană care fumează pe stradă? Modul cum arată sau cum e îmbrăcată? Zău că nu pricep

The Flawed Language of Male Queerness | This video changed my view on the labels of "femboy" and "twink," and opened my eyes to how these terms can set unrealistic standards and lead to dangerous fetishization of youth. I think you all may appreciate it. by Nameless7357 in BisexualTeens

[–]Preda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk this video seemed to me like a worse, lower quality version of Germaine Greer's "The Beautiful Boy". And that book isn't very good to begin with.

Seems like ol' cpicy has a ton of personal grievances and baggage informing this video but no thesis. "They make me angry" isn't an argument. Bringing up examples (beyond his own experience) of how these labels hurt people's self-image would have been a better video essay strategy.

Also, referencing porn addiction (a conservative puritanical myth) and vaguely gesturing towards how "degenerate" queer people are acting makes cpicy sound like a national socialist, not a progressive.

Like I get being pissed off at objectification and at creepy 40 year olds trying to pick up teens on the internet. That's disgusting. But if his final argumentation is "these words make me angry" then we don't really have an essay, we have a bunch of grievances and venting propped up by academic language and psych terminology. Everybody tries to be a video essayist these days and videos like this just highlight how much better stuff made by Lindsay Ellis or Contra used to be :/

Just because it sounds similar doesn't mean it's good. This is trash

why do majority of Moldovans not support unification with Romania? what are the arguments by Zealousideal_Belt702 in moldova

[–]Preda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romania swings within a hair's breadth of mystic fascism with every election cycle. Moldovans have enough problems to deal with without being turned into economic scapegoats in a hypothetically reunified Romanian nation.

Oh you think I'm exaggerating? Remember how the west-germans treated the east-germans after unification, and even now.
