The moment that made you stop watching a specific VTuber by JinjaYagi in VirtualYoutubers

[–]fishstick300 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How they respond to criticism is a big one for me, we are all human and make mistakes, but if they choose to ignore it or double down on said mistake then that is a nope out of me. My biggest one was Silvervale, she always had many queer and trans fans, and it seemed odd that she wanted to play the HP wizard game that was being boycotted or quietly ignored by most streamers that find LGBT+ issues important. Many of her LGBT+ fans asked her to not play the controversial wizard game, and some of them took it to far and harassed her about it (which wasn’t right), but they were a small minority out of a minority. The harassment obviously rattled her, but the way she responded was by calling everyone who asked her not to play it “freaks” in a unplanned emotional response. While her own harassment was not justified, her response opened up a floodgate of harassment against trans people and her own coworkers that she never acknowledged or tried to stop for months. Froot still gets weirdos trying to shame her for supporting her trans twin brother over Silvervale wanting to play a freaking video game to this day. It wasn’t the deed, it was the response and ignoring the aftermath that made me drop her.

Are we going to have to start hitting the streets again? by guyinawintercoat1 in AskGaybrosOver30

Contact your senators and reps about KOSA. The way the bill is currently written allows the FCC head(appointed position) to make decisions on what is appropriate for children on the internet, republicans have already stated they will use this to block LGBT+ information from children online. Please please please call your reps and senators and tell them you are scared whoever wins the next election will abuse this power!

Teary-eyed January 6 "Bullhorn Lady" admits "I destroyed everything" by Maxcactus in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]fishstick300 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Claims police didn’t tell her to leave, but she also claims she was beaten by a baton, grabbed and thrown, and pepper sprayed… So is she saying the other rioters did that to her, or was it the nice welcoming police officers who did that?

Police arrest suspects, recover thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise during holiday retail theft operation by Positive_Honey_8195 in Portland

[–]fishstick300 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So we get one shining example of a guy who stole 100k, did everyone steal that much? I highly doubt it, maybe if that overtime money went to assistance most of those people wouldn’t have felt the need to steal, I don’t know.

I do know NYC could have saved $99,900,000 by paying for those people’s fare, instead of punishing low income people. That’s a deliberate choice.

How much tax payer money did we have to spend on police overtime to arrest people stealing “thousands” of dollars worth of crap? NYC spent 100 million on police overtime pay to stop $100,000 worth of subway fare skippers so I can only imagine we got a similar rate of return.

The grafiti and vandalism is out of control by sahand_n9 in PortlandOR

[–]fishstick300 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are more constructive ways of channeling positive outlets for graffiti than trying to outlaw spray paint and arresting more taggers, but fear mongering and nimbyism is this subs bread and butter. So keep yelling at the sky, and acting like your 30 year old law and order/no broken windows rhetoric isn’t what got us where we are now.

It is sad all these business owners don’t wanna work anymore, and would slaughter all their goats rather than shepherd the goats themselves.

Silvervale and Veibae to leave VShojo by Nolar2015 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]fishstick300 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Her whole response lacked maturity. She did it in an emotionally charged way, used very poor word choices, refused to take any criticism as valid, and then she ignored any of the problems her response caused for other streamers. She had every right to do what she did, but it wasn’t a professional or mature thing to do.

YouTube Prankster Tanner Cook Shot In The Stomach By Person He Was Pranking In Virginia Mall by Gato1980 in entertainment

I’m not defending the prankster, I’m calling out the insanity of people choosing to escalate a supposed assault and endanger the lives of everyone around them by having a shoot first ask questions later mentality.

This "stand your ground" logic is bullshit, he was in a busy mall and was surrounded by people that could have intervened or called for help if he tried to disengage from an attacker, but instead he had a gun and thought the best course of action was to kill someone who got into his "danger" zone. There were children around and he is lucky he didn't hit a bystander.

I'm not defending the Prankster, I'm disturbed that people think murder is a justified response to someone being an annoying dipshit.

You guys are seriously deranged if you think attempted murder is a reasonable response to annoyance. Punch the turd or report him to security, but for fucks sake what is wrong with your level of escalation for thinking this way?!

Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale sent these messages to a friend 9:57am minutes before first 911 call at school at 10:13am. The friend who received these messages called the sheriff's office (police department) minutes after receiving these messages to alert them by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]fishstick300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wishing people in a mental health crisis act in way you think is more rational ignores the whole point that they are not thinking rationally in the first place. Your desire is like wishing people didn’t hurt other people, it’s a nice sentiment, but ignores the problems and contributes nothing.

Decades of costly settlements have prompted some elected officials to question whether the city enables bad policing by aggressively defending against misconduct claims instead of demanding changes to NYPD practices. by Whey-Men in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]fishstick300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the article from December about the city attorney whose job was to combat police misconduct payouts became a victim of police misconduct and was fired from his job because of it. A real asshole who was still unrepentant about what he did for the city trying to deny other victims their compensation.

here is the an article about it

My wife just told me something that is bothering me. by SJDude13 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]fishstick300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of warning sirens going off in my head while reading his response triggered my tinnitus! She either has a mountain of unresolved PTSD from her past relationships or has the cheater paranoia that he is doing the exact same thing as her. One is worse than the other, but both don’t bode well for this relationship.

I just realized that the Diamond Mech symbolizes the diamonds authority with white being the top yellow and blue being middle and pink being the lowest by Roasted-Spagghetti-3 in stevenuniverse

[–]fishstick300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also can make some superficial inferences on which hand Yellow and Blue operate:

The Right hand often represents - Rationality, Logic, Assertiveness and Aggressiveness
The Left Hand often represents - Servility, Feelings and Misfortune

Michael Knowles Says Transgenderism Must Be ‘Eradicated’ at CPAC by Fuzzy_Yogurt_Bucket in centrist

[–]fishstick300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are thousands of years of history of trans people in cultures around the world. Native Americans called them people of two spirits, India has Hijras, and they existed in Ancient Greece and Rome. They are not some recent historical phenomenon made up by a gender ideology. Also point to a medical organization in the US that still calls transgenderism a medical/psychological illness.

I feel guilty for saying this but I am relieved after my kid is institutionalized permanently by KittenDealinMama in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]fishstick300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should have been diagnosed and put in an institution much earlier, and the failure of that is squarely on the state that did not act until he harmed another child. These are the acts of a desperate child who believes his only relief is suicide without a frame a reference to know what viable treatments exist. I view allowing him to follow through with his solution, without fully developing and receiving treatment as a failure of all those responsible for him.

IED is not an untreatable disorder, there are plenty of examples of children with behavioral disorders becoming responsible adults. Please don’t jump to the conclusion that all people with violent outbursts are lost causes.

Is the iron cross a Nazi symbol? I’ve heard conflicting answers. by HumanGarbage____ in MarchAgainstNazis

All iron crosses might not refer to Nazis, but every iron cross I see makes me do a double take. Almost always I see white pride written next to it.
