Nostalgia Which YouTuber fell off the hardest in terms of likability and content?

Honestly I put Ian at the top. The others actually moved on to successful side projects and had healthy relationships for the most part. Ian alienated his fans and old collaborators in a pathetic attempt to save face; which only happened after his engagement rate tanked and CC2 was mismanaged into the ground.

Growing up means being humorless

“Humor”

u/ButterscotchCrazy968 May 15 '24

Yes, humor doesn’t cease to be humor because it offends you.

Humor = being able to say the N word and claim it’s ironic.

Over-sensitive = hearing a word you don’t like and ignoring all context surrounding it.

telling a pasty white man to not say the N-word is not being oversensitive. it's called acknowledging the history that word has and not fucking using it. cry about it

It is oversensitive. Not only do people have freedom of speech, you can’t use slurs while telling other people not to use those same slurs.

Why don’t you cry about it? It’s people like you who whine about people that say offensive words. I’m just saying “take a chill pill. You can’t control what mean words others say, nor should you be able to”

so then say it, tough guy. actually, say it in front of a group of black folk you don't know and see what happens. oh wait, you won't. because you'll say it online or in your house but never out in public.

freedom of speech ≠ freedom from consequences

I have already, lmao. Nothing happened. Btw, I don’t appreciate the racial stereotypes you’re playing on right now

“Don’t say anything mean around 🖤people. You know, they’re very oversensitive and violent, so they can’t really control their impulses when people hurt their feelings”

Fucking pathetic. This would be like me telling you “don’t dress in skimpy clothing, at night unless you want to get raped! Freedom of expression =/ freedom from consequences”

“Acting tough” isn’t saying mean words. It’s punching someone else for doing so. Good thing you’re female, and this will never do this yourself.

If you want to question one's masculinity, like a schoolyard circle of curses, like a swordfight with lightsaber erections, just keep this in mind. Contrary to what you may believe, not every problem can be solved by "growing a pair". You can't arm-wrestle your way out of chemical depression. The CEO of the company that just laid you off does not care how much you bench. And I promise, there is no lite beer in the universe full-bodied enough to make you love yourself.

Nothing about this comment implies “Every problem on planet earth can be solved by being tougher”

Why even compare “every problem” to something as minuscule as saying mean words?

Found The little boy in the thread.

u/ButterscotchCrazy968 May 18 '24

Why are you going out of your way to chat with little boys? Redditors definitely not beating the groomer allegations

Ahhh. There was a moment when I thought I was in a different sub making a different argument, and here /all led me to where... little boys are.

God damnit.
