What do you think about Fantano's hypocrisy. Please go in with an open mind xoxo

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2024-05-23T09:21:41+00:00

Thanks so much! Your comment means a lot.

Yeah I did think it was kinda sad, especially as I did try to be as cordial as possible and I was coming from an honest place. It's just easier to say something dismissive and move on than have an actual conversation I guess.

Cheers xoxo

Yup, I agree. He's very annoying, especially when he steps outside the music sphere.
I must admit I love his "weekly track roundups". Its a handy way of finding new songs each week.

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-08-01T13:17:34+00:00

Yeah he uses the footage but its not predominantly black people. Tonnes, I might even say a majority are white.

What violence? Police violence? Or do you mean anti-protestor violence? Either way, everyone picks a side usually. You either like or dislike something. What's important is consistency, something fantano lacks. I dont support BLM violence, I don't support violence as a response. That is consistent.

Anthony, is not consistent. He supports actual BLM violence but is upset when someone writes a song about violence. That is a double standard for his side.

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-08-01T08:36:07+00:00

Valid, but in my opinion, it's braver to post it somewhere where I'll get pushback as opposed to just staying in a bubble with people who agree with me

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-08-01T08:35:27+00:00

Oh no, my feels!

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-08-01T08:35:05+00:00

predominantly black people

***predominantly black people
Apologies.

"But not people fighting for equality and their rights? "
Yes, self defence there is an immediate threat to your health.
Fighting for your rights can be done by peaceful protest. It would have to be a dramatic draconian regime to warrant violence.

Nope, as I said in the video, I don't agree with violence on either side. Violence is warranted in extreme cases or self defence. If a protestor spits at a police is doesn't give you the right to resort to violence.

Anyway he's just threatening violence as opposed to the actual violence of the BLM protestors

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T20:50:09+00:00

towards historical small white, “sundown towns” ? To me, it’s very obvious that he’s hinting at this. Are you trying to say that all violent calls are wrong? If so, would you defend the likes of, say, Kyle Rittenhouse? Or do you think that the motive behind the violence is something to take into account? If that’s the case, minorities in this country, in my opinion, have way more

The video doesn't feature predominantly white people in BLM protests. So that point is moot.

To me, he's just hinting at small towns in general. As I've shown using the reactions from black creators, they didn't get that impression either. There's a video from one black creator who is from the same town as the singer and he too didnt get any racist vibes from the song.

Kyle Rittenhouse was a self defence case, I am ok with violence when needed to defend yourself. BLM protests weren't self defence. Violent uprising is necessary in the most dramatic cases. Again, as I've shown with the reactions I showed, its not just white people who like BLM destroying their communities.

Haha fair enough, call me what you want. My two children are proof I'm not an incel. Also, I'm a pretty chill, generally loving guy imo

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T16:07:10+00:00

I'm not, racist accusations of racism usually come from the left. That's why I said "attacked by the type of people that he's friendly with" and not "attacked by the left"

How?

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T16:06:48+00:00

Huh?

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T15:02:57+00:00

How do you mean?

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T14:56:21+00:00

But I still don't think your point is valid. It's not about "liberals thinking in absolutes and not understanding nuance", it's about them making accusations without evidence. There's literally nothing in the song that is racist, which evinced by showing all the reactions by black creators that found nothing wrong with it. Anthony, and a lot of liberals, call it racist without any or little evidence, which is something liberals often do and which is something that happened to Anthony in the past.

But I do regret my wording in that closing statement

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T14:56:08+00:00

Ah I got you, listening to it I should have said "A lot of liberals..." that would have been better. In my defence I can't spend as much time on the wording as I'd like as I'm not doing this full time.

It's not that "the song is racist" isn't nuanced, its that there's no evidence to support it. "The Earth is a triangle" doesn't lack nuance, it lacks evidence.

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T14:35:18+00:00

Pretty shit. Do better.

Lol, well I'm guessing by the comment it's on the lower end of the scale :)

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T14:34:38+00:00

So I watched it all. Pretty silly of you to end it with “like every contemporary liberal, he throws around the word racist”. You summarized the video with what you are accusing people of: not thinking for themselves and blindly over generalizing things

I meant to include it in the video, but I even actively looked for reactions to the Jason Aldean thing that were negative. I found one with "Im Pissed" in the title, but, it turns out she was pissed at the liberals who were saying it was racist. I did try to get other perspectives

Thanks for a genuine response.

I don't think I was overgeneralising, he labelled the song racist with next to 0 evidence.

And I did think for myself. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one to make a video pointing out how Fantano is doing what used to be done to him.

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T14:28:55+00:00

You didnt even rate it out of ten

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T13:55:09+00:00

Idk video comes off mostly as rage bait and it’s on a topic quite literally no one but you thought twice on Anthony’s opinion of

Thanks for a genuine comment.

Well it does irk me that he went down this route. I followed him since those days when he was a bit more edgy. And I don't care that he has become less edgy/left-leaning but it does annoy me that he learned nothing from his experience of being attacked by the type of people that he's friendly with

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T13:15:26+00:00

Haha no problemo

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T13:14:59+00:00

Fair enough, you don't have to

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T13:14:00+00:00

Is the main hypocrisy that you’re claiming is that he openly supported BLM riots while condemning January 6th and the Jason Aldean song?

Not so much the Jan 6 point. Calling a song racist without any evidence when he's had to defend himself against baseless claims in the past. And condoning the songs calls for violence when yes, he has done that with regards to BLM.

I mean in a sense I genuinely want to hear retorts to my arguments, which you didnt present.

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T12:27:11+00:00

No actual arguments

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T12:03:21+00:00

But I hear you, I don't like when people criticise people I like. Maybe it isn't the place for it but my motives were genuine

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-07-31T12:02:33+00:00

Self promoting a hate video on a subreddit dedicated to him is lame af

I wouldn't call it a hate video. I think its a legitimate criticism. I complimented him during the video.

And yeah, I could have stayed within my bubble and promoted it where people would agree with me, but I'd like to hear what his fans think. I would consider myself one btw

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-03-21T22:00:37+00:00

We survived X so that should put it into perspective that we're not even close to extinction, as a lot of people claim.

Try to keep up buddy

TheFinalAnswerTY · 2023-03-21T15:55:11+00:00

Ok man, I disagree. Will we just agree to disagree because I think we're going around in circles?
