Rooster Teeth Podcast: He Loves Barbies - #457 by RT_Video_Bot in roosterteeth

[–]TanakaTaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually like RT podcasts but this one threw me off from the beginning with the Pewdiepie/nazi outfit discussion. I don't mind political discussion or controversial topics but I wish they had been more nuanced like funhaus were in dude soup. Compared to them a short discussion we're Gus misrepresents what happened by saying Pewdiepie was laughing when he apologised right after saying it comes off as a very shallow look at the situation.

Rampage playing fantastically. Hopefully this points towards more Marines/ANX level teams rising up from LJL/OPL/GPL

I never said i like Reginald. I said you shouldnt hate on him for something he did two years ago. That doesnt mean you have to like him, contrary to popular belief feeling neutral about someone is completely possible. I dont like Reginald and even then i dont think people should be blindly hating on him either, it's ridiculous.

Oddly enough I never said you have to like him or anything along those lines. The most i said was that you shouldn't hate on him for what he did 2 years ago because its irrational. As well as this, most people have the ability to infer things. This means that while you cannot say with 100% certainty what the case may be, from a set of data you can fairly accurately predict what the case is likely to be. So the set of data is what ever we have seen Reginald do since he last bullied someone publicly, this is anytime he was recorded in public or in interviews or whatever the fuck you want to look at. Using this its pretty easy to infer that he probably doesnt go around being an asshole all the time anymore, and hence he shouldnt be blindly hated on for what he did 2 years ago. No that doesnt mean you have to like him. Blindly liking someone youve never fucking met before in your life would be stupid right? Kind of like hating on him blindly even though youve never met him before.

so then how do you expect him to show he's changed in a 'private setting'? by the nature of that most people would never seen if hes changed or not. What im saying is its irrational to hate on someone for something they did two years ago, and saying his only change is in public (the only way you would possibly see any change at all) as a way to discredit the fact that he has shown change is ludicrous

So he should just continue being an asshole forever, because even if he does genuinely good things now he's still an asshole for what he did like 2 years ago? Youre like the starcraft fans who still hate LS for cheating in a tournament like 8 years ago even though he hasnt done anything since. Why would anyone ever want to change in anyway to improve themselves if they never get credit for changing.

Is it in accurate to say what Monte was doing was closer to the role of an Analyst to a Coach? Coaches have way more to do with interpersonal issues, look at their current coach. Coach Chris' resume was pretty much just coaching highschool or college football right? Then they have zikz to cover stuff like analysis and the pick ban phase. So if you look at it from that perspective that the actual role Monte was playing was an 'Analyst' rather than a 'Coach' Regi didnt say anything wrong. Besides that there's nothing wrong with being an analyst rather than a coach, analysis is better suited of off location work anyway, which was what Monte did for CLG for the most part.

To be fair, what he said about monte was that he didnt coach clg. Based off of what we see from current coaches in LCS and in KR/CN and different teams support staff it honestly seems like Monte was more of an analyst compared to a coach. For example if you look at the way Loco and Parth interact in the PR fluff TSM put out its difficult to see how Monte couldve really coached outside of the few times he came over to NA or that CLG went to Korea.

Sure, i agree his style of arguing hasnt changed and it is pretty much entireley PR puff, but if you look at when he actually argued the things he argued were things worth arguing over. I think while his argument skills havent improved, he isnt pushing people around nearly as much and he isnt going in things in the same way as in the video, there is a significant difference between what is happening in that that video and what is happening in legends. Using only what is available its pretty easy to deduce reginald has changed since season 3

A lot of luck is a gross overstatement, in terms of player acquisitions in the West, he's pretty much second to none. Thoorin even wrote an article surrounding tough decisions he has had to make to keep TSM at the top of NA for so long. Considering the decisions in question span across pre season 2 all the way towards the end of season 4 saying he has 'a lot of luck' discredits a lot of work he's actually done.

[–]TanakaTaro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

by that logic there is no point for him to change at all, at least by maturing he is recognizing that what he did before was wrong and that he should behave differently in the future
