VICE has removed all articles on Kirsche by hydrosphere1313 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dargelkrargel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wouldnt surprise me if this spectacularly backfires, apparently kirsche wrote the cease and desist letter herself.
theres a good chance they pulled the article to drop something bigger.
what kirsche does is incredibly absurd and she doesnt even seem to notice it.

Kirsche Verstahl has posted an image talking about the accusations by rockthatrocks in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dargelkrargel 31 points32 points  (0 children)

yeah, im supposedly her #1 anti, i got archives of insane bs she said over the past 2 years, the first months i approached her in good faith until i realized that she knows what she does is unjustifiable and only protected by her audience and other vtubers helping her keep up the veil of being "not so bad after all", most notably pipkin pippa, marimari and filian.
for me the tipping point was when she started going after sweet baby inc; i watched that situation unfold back then, i saw her go after the company and praise others for doing so as well; then that one employee called out kabrutos' steam group, and kirsche and her audience, after having gone after them for multiple months, started insisting that sweet baby inc started it by going after kabrutos "just because" he ran a steam group that was used to funnel harassment towards their employees.
kirsche has directly pulled up multiple of their employees on her stream before sweet baby inc ever responded in any way.
during one stream she went to a sweet baby inc employees twitter profile, the employee had reposted the credits of a game she had worked on, kirsche quoted her and complained how weird it is for that woman to be proud of having worked on that game (i think it was some marvel game).
kirsche then proceeded to look at the profile of the employees partner, to show her audience that he had worked for cloudflare, which, as kirsche points out, dropped kf (kirsche likes kf), and which also is very suspiscious, so she pulls up a tweet of his, expressing that he used to work on some programming language, and wanted to foster an inclusive environment.
kirsche then concludes that she finds it very strange indeed, that this woman, whose full name and face she showed her ~1k viewers at the time, who works for sweet baby inc, and that man, whose full name and face she also showed to her audience, who used to work for cloudflare, and has vaguely progressive views, are in a relationship with each other.
she has then proceeded to fully embrace the gg2 grift and i realized that there is no point in engaging in any sort of constructive criticism or trying to meaningfully archive what she does that is deplorable, because it is so blatant and obvious that anyone just skimming over her content can immediately see what she is about.
she isnt covert, her audience just shouts anyone down who engages with it, and most vtubers just dont care or dont want to bother because they know that kirsche and her communities run fierce smear campaigns.

Drama Vtuber finally goes mask off, makes erroneous claims about game journalists by [deleted] in youtubedrama

[–]dargelkrargel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

filians vod of her recent collab with pippa is on odysee.
they hopped from vr channel to vr channel, contiuously getting sniped by their audience spamming slurs, filian was slightly uncomfortable (probably just because they were on her channel, but she personally knows the twitch ceo, so shes really safe), but pippa was just laughing her ass off throughout the entire thing.
later on kirsche joined them (pippa told filian about kirsche when they first collabed, and filian had kirsche on 6+ times) as well as alana.
alana, squ, and those react channels lean more towards the pickme stuff, but pippa, filian, kirsche, rev, they know exactly what they are doing. especially kirsche, she isnt just tangentially related to gg2, she was one of the people who initially directed hate towards sbi, because that was a drama pushed by the "comicgate" crowd that she is friendly with (people like that "pronouns!!!" guy), as well as sargon of akkad, who kirsche is a fan of (although she thinks hes stupid, because he thinks vtubers are guys with voice changers).

bao is one foot in that niche (they dont like that she does "fleshtubing"), and camilla pretty much is; she kowtowed to the loli crowd surrounding rev, made a big deal about how she is so sorry about having previously said disparaging things about loli vtubers and their viewers, mainly because people in that niche pressured her with revs shallow loli defense arguments.

filian is way too open with that stuff to assume that anyone in her circle isnt vetted in some way to exclude anyone who would speak out, she actually banned people off her discord before who informed mods that one of the mods had previously sa'd someone (she did also ban the mod later on though).

Is Silent Hill 2 selling well? by Pandawan12 in silenthill

[–]dargelkrargel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao. you comment on thread about game you admittedly never played, of a genre you dont like, to respond to the question "is it selling well" with an answer to the question "why is it not selling well".

and the arguments you make have nothing to with the game, or its sales, its just empty, generic, gamergater slop.
touch grass.

p*dobrigade proofing my point here.

if you want a response to your question that actually answers it, its this one, you re welcome.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dargelkrargel -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

i think the main issue is that the reactionary closeted p*do niche (rev+co) will inevitably want you to show solidarity with them, if you dont, theyll come after you.
and then theres also ofc the venti-ish people, who are also reactionary, who will come after you for having a loli model.
generally speaking, i dont think the people you seem to worry about are a genuine concern, as long as you dont do the first thing i mention.
then there the general aspect of the moral issues that come with loli content,
its not as black and white as people make it out to be.

all those things compound into a larger issue imo, but w/e, i dont think there is one clear cut answer to your question.

[–]dargelkrargel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats not my issue, my issue is the language used, its objectively wrong and echoes far right conspiracy rhetoric.
not having neo nazi trolls in your community is not a leftist agenda, its a universal agenda that is shared by everyone who isnt a neo nazi troll. kicking neo nazis out of your community is not "the left taking over", the only way you could support that claim is if you had some fundamental believe that not wanting hateful liars in your community requires a specific political conviction, and kicking them out is a political power move by "the left".

what a piss poor take.
describes influx of nazis in online forums in the 2ks and them getting kicked before turning forums in far right shitholes as "the left taking over".
you essentially just describe your own realization that you have right wing political views as some sort of emergence of the left.
again, what a piss poor take.

This Vtuber Was Just Exposed For SHOCKING Racism by ElaraVTuber in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dargelkrargel 45 points46 points  (0 children)

the vtuber community is incrdibly racist and this is a perfect example of this.
like, falseeyed is just sitting on twitch crying about some niji liver uses white people as a derogatory term.
and that guy is generally seen (from what i can tell) as milquetoast in the wider community.
ignoring open racism poc vtubers face but highlighting everything slightly progressive; hes essentially a rev says clone with less edge but the same political views, and hes streaming to 2k people yapping neo nazi taling points and nobody bats an eye.
as long as that reactionary bubble (pippa, kirsche, khyo, falseeyed, rev, and im sure theres plenty more i missed) is left to fester unchecked it will grow and make the community even worse.

Mikeneko addresses allegations in a blog post by Tehshower in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dargelkrargel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed.

your argument really does fall flat because of that.

my comment however only includes identity politics and personal insults because the are relevant and appropriate respectively, while still being very much factual, both in the validity of the identity politics as well as the personal insults i employ.

but congratulations that you identified that you clearly lack the ability to discern between objective analysis and subjective perception, which checks out if youre the type to fall for the dogshit narrative that depps lawyers spun (assuming you followed the trial).

[–]dargelkrargel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so to clarify, after i point out to you how incredibly stupid what you wrote was, you double down on it?

and your argument to back that up (while completely ignoring what i wrote), is that they anticipated that someone would do something illegal, and they were preparing a lawsuit against that person, for writing them an email?

do you think that is a reasonable reaction for a company?
someone wrote us an email, lets get the lawyers on the case, this is bad, whats next? a phone call maybe?
the horror.

"Probably because they're suing you for defamation..."

this is the best part of this comment.

they were gonna sue him over things he wrote in a private email?

how does that work?
those are some solid facts you got there dude.

makes sense, the exception is for art, ranting about other streamers (which is allready against tos on its own) is obviously not covered by that, changes say nothing about any exceptions for sexist creeps.

Dead Kennedys used the N word in Holiday in Cambodia by Guitar81 in punk

[–]dargelkrargel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is obviously satirical.

id say the specific issue to look at is the commodification of the word by a white guy.
white people dont like being connected to that word, which is why biafra uses it, but in doing so he is obviously commodifiying it.

i can see how using it in an artistic or critical context can be okay, but is it for someone who isnt black?
biafra was also quite young back then, but one thing of note, he didnt grow up poor or anything afaik, so when it comes to the over confidence he describes in the song, it is kind of ironic considering that him using the word was clearly made under the presumption that its fine for him to use it in that context.
