Re: Favorite Youtubers?
Today I Found Out is a little moreish, isn't it? I wound up losing a whole afternoon to that channel.
Liana Kerzner is someone I agree with a lot, and someone who I am glad is doing what she does... but after a while I kinda started to find her personality abrasive. Still Like the topics she covers and I end up agreeing with her more than I disagree, but I could live without that fucking Feedback Friday song she does, Ugh.
What culture is another one that's a time bandit. I'll start watching them then I've lost 3 hours of my day. I could live without that fucking hashtag joke, tho.
Is Omegon the one that does the Overwatch animated web comics?
I liked sugartits videos, but they make my feminist girlfriend very very angry, so I don't get to listen to much of her.
Roaming Millenial is a neat channel. And she's very attractive too. That never hurts.
I've actually started watching more of Laci's stuff. I don't like it any better now than I used to, but the whole thing with Laci's recent shitshow should show that it doesn't do to only listen to people who you agree with.
Sargon is where I personally draw the line. I get why he's popular, I get why I'm supposed to watch him in my circles, but honestly, I just find him a little reactionary, he makes logical leaps that go beyond what a """"Skeptic"""" should be confortable making, and he's a bit more mean spirited for me to enjoy.
Since you and me have some 'tubers in common, so let me throw in a couple of recs for you:
Shoe - always makes me laugh.
Just thinking out loud - Love her accent.
Chris Ray Gun - Hardest belly laughes I've had in a while.
My Name Is Josephine - I tend to agree with her. Plus she's very pretty.
Aydin Paladin is a little more right of centre than I usually like, but she's pretty funny with it, and I have learned some actually useful stuff.
Jordan B Peterson kinda rubs me the wrong way in the same way as Richard Dawkins. I get why he's popular, and I kinda think "Good for him" sticking to his guns, but I just get the "Smug know-it-all-and-I'm-better-than-you" vibe from him. Nothing I can put my finger on, just the guy bugs me.
Re: Favorite Youtubers?
On Laci, i think I came to think better of her after her "redpill" videos. I think she is still leaning on the Accepting Feminist side, but I think she is a bit closer to the "Anti" side now than she used to be.
I love listening to SugarTits and Peach both because they feel more like home for me, as an Australian. Sometimes it's just great to listen to your own accent, and frankly Aussie accents are not hugely common on Youtube. That's one of the reason why I started watching Dael too, but I also like her content.
I kinda see what you mean with Sargon, there's been a few incidents where he's pushed back at his critics and opponents where I feel he does go too far. Trying to get Anita banned at VidCon, fights on Twitter like the one with Chrisiosity, and now the one he's got a lawsuit over - individually they didn't seem bad, but when you see three events it starts to look like a pattern.
One of Anti-SJW types I have started to get really tired of is Andy Warski. I feel like his style is getting a bit old for me.
I do feel Jordan B Peterson doesn't have quite as much "I'm-better-than-you" than Dawkins, but maybe that's looking at it from my religious angle. Dawkins is well known for practically treating people like they are gullible idiots for being religious, while I don't get that feeling from Peterson, especially with the Bible series. Maybe that is why I can give him a pass.
Re: Favorite Youtubers?
I dont know how I feel about the Sargon lawsuit, to be honest. It's certainly on the edge of what I'd call fair use, but I wonder if it was someone who was less... snipey, if I'd be more on his side.
Oh, Warski is super grating to me. I still watch him, and I like his general themes, and I agree with some of this stuff he's bringing up, but his persona can be a bit draining.
Oh, Jordan B Peterson is not even in the same LEAGUE as Dawkins, I hope that I didn't come across as saying that, I just find him tricky to watch because of some... je ne sais quoi that reminds me of Dawkins.
