G4 comeback made gamers across the political spectrum realized that games media have evolved past beyond "HAHA GAMERS ARE HUGE DORKS AND WE HATE JAPAN" because of a thing called the internet.
Here's how mainstream games media was like in the 2000s:
"GAMERS ARE DORKS WHO WILL NEVER GET PUSSY, ALSO WE ARE MORE RACIST TO JAPAN THAN AMERICA DURING WORLD WAR II, HERE'S A SEX HOTLINE AD TO TALK TO THE SEXIEST CHICKS IN TOWN, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET LAID, LOSERS!"

YouTube critic: "I really don't like this show/movie because it's poorly written, full of plot holes, and badly directed."
Me: "I agree"
YouTube critic: "wokeness, DEI, LGBTQ, trans agenda, and minorities are the reason why it suc–"
Me:
same thing goes with YouTube leftoid essayists
bad movie/show isn't caused by problematic writing, systemic racism, rampant consumerism, late stage capitalism, and other dumbass buzzwords
just say movie bad because it's just shit like a normal person.

Gonna play the devil's advocate 🧵
1. Wireless headphones usually last 24-50 hours of playback per full charge, which usually takes an hour.
2. This isn't beats by Dr Dre era anymore. Bluetooth technology has evolved exponentially. Sony's have LDAC and DSE built-in.
Also a lot of DAC dongles are better than built-in headphone jacks.
If you plug $200 "audiophile" headphones directly onto the phone, you're doing audio wrong. Your headphone jack don't have enough Ohms to fully use any entry level headphones.

That was true for the most part.
A lot of Friendster, MySpace, and Facebook people weren't into those memes, nor did they aware of their existence.
Little did we know, social media grew so exponentially that it had seemingly replaced old internet culture overnight.
Like edgy humors, not revealing your real name (power word), personal details, etc.
I like to analogize pre-Facebook internet users as the indigenous peoples of the internet who were being forcibly kicked out or changed due to social media settlers.

2016 edgy commentary era has destroyed a lot of communities on YouTube and I won't forgive them for it.
As someone who used to be active in YT art community since '08, the vibes changed for the worst as everyone suddenly wanted to be the Keemstars/Leafys of the art community.
Literally overnight, YouTube artists started beefing with each other for absolutely no reason then to create dramas, harassing kids over "cringe OCs" etc.
The last straw was when toxic degenerates like her walked into the scene and gained popularity.

Probably a hot take but since America has a gun culture, and shit like this would never go away, why not every adult American just carry a piece?
No one will start blasting if people are carrying.
Them old west saloon cowboys got that figured that out 200 years ago.
You'd most likely get shot and curb stomped the moment you start flashing your piece in 19th century.

Probably a hot take but I think the reason why artists are having bad times lately are due to the sheer toxicity within the community.
They just can't seem to agree on things and keep fighting with each other, even from something as petty as fanfics or porn of characters.
Compare that with the IT community, which is essentially a worldwide collaborative effort that keeps competition healthy.
The Open Source movement, has such a clear ethos that they honor.

The term "woke" has lost its meaning. You can ask any rightoid and they'll give you different answers
Some would say hamfisted political messages that hurts the story is "woke", which is a valid argument
Some would also say a mere presence of minorities is "woke"
