The ethical consequences of disableing youtube comments.

It's disabling, you ignorant mouthbreathing faggot, I hope you get raped and die in an aids fire.

Spoiler: show

in before somebody doesn't get the joke

new video reminded me that i havent played dantes inferno.

[Kuya]

It has tits with teeth

Why not though? Why is comments on/off a big deal at all, and not just personal preference? I just don't see why it's so important that everyone no matter what gets their chance to speak directly under the video. Their opinions all deserve equal exposure with the vid itself just because they clicked the comment button? That it's all on the video-maker to police the legion of mouthbreathers because somewhere in there, some people have legitimate criticism to level? It's not like she shut down the internet... they can still talk about it.

Exactly.. why does it matter? I don't care personally like I said my biggest beef is she spoiled a ton of games. the legion of anti-cis privilege man-hating lesbos Women want to champion this as something other than someone wanting to get paid to lecture men on why they're so terribly daft and stupid for enjoying plot lines in some of my favorite games.

It's not just her either. Women like Sady Doyle believe men who enjoy shows like game of thrones are only watching/reading it to fulfill a disgusting desire for Rape fantasy.

I don't have strong opinions about anything besides her earrings.

Who the fuck wears hoop earrings that large and get's on to make a video about feminism? The amount of horror stories I've heard from girls about over-sized earrings getting caught on something and tearing the pierce. Walking straight into the literal definition of "shit you only wear so guys think you look nice." while making a video about feminist tropes. What are you thinking? Where is your head?

I mean, Ksan or whoever else, feel free to tell me I'm wrong about this. But lol, really.

How can you say "Exactly.. why does it matter?" when you're the one that's said disabling comments is somehow bad up until this post? If they thought it didn't matter no one would be implying she was weak for turning them off bc they wouldn't care. That's how non-issues work.

There are dumb people in every group. There are people who disagree in every group. Do a couple vocal chicks represent female and/or feminist gamers as a whole? I don't think so. I think it's just that nobody's been talking about it much before, so they get noticed. And yet morons on youtube comments are so common-place that we stand up for their right to smash their faces into keyboards and be heard.

And on GoT, it's worth noting that George RR Martin himself has a feminist attitude, and GoT is actually a good example of female characters in fantasy done well, so in general I think feminists are pretty ok with it?

I am not a feminist, but I agree those earrings are retarded.

I said I agree it doesn't matter.. I then pointed out how it obviously mattered to her since she disabled comments.


Feel free to point out where I was making disabling comments a big deal. I was just commenting on a comment made in this thread specifically meant for commenting.

You said "feelings getting hurt is no reason to disable comments."
And I didn't say comments don't matter, I said disabling them shouldn't.

I was just commenting on a comment made in this thread specifically meant for commenting.

Commentception.

re: Giant hoop earrings. Not a fan. But loop earrings in general hurt like a bitch if you pull them out while you're brushing your hair.

[quannum]

you don't know why disabling comments on youtube is bad?

[Plow]

you don't know why disabling comments on youtube is bad?

because it deprives us of an internet freak show? (which is such a hard thing to find)

[Shade]

you don't know why disabling comments on youtube is bad?

because then the terrorists win?

Disabling comments reinforces the argument that she refuses to address any legitimate criticism of her work by using the excuse that any criticism makes you part of the cybermob that's out to get her.

It's not just the fact that comments are disabled, which I agree isn't a big deal by itself, but it's the fact that anyone who tries to have a normal dialogue with her gets shut down because it takes away from her ability to paint all her detractors as basement-dwelling trolls who don't like her because she's a woman who wants to ruin the "boys' club" of gaming. There's a reason why she intentionally opened up comments for her Kickstarter campaign video after initially having them disabled.

Disabling (youtube) comments reinforces the argument that she refuses to address any legitimate criticism

you should probably think for a moment about what you just said there

[Rhinox]

She doesn't allow/delete comments on her blog as well.

There is nowhere but 3rd party sites to discuss it.

[Plow]

And we're back.

I haven't bothered to watch this video, as I've been told it's utter garbage, and I've no reason to think otherwise. I have no intention of changing this, as I couldn't care less about it.

I've also noticed that comments are disabled on it, which I think is positively adorable. "Criticism" that doesn't allow criticism? Oh, to be so full of one's self...

note: There are some recent game spoilers.

so after watching that whole thing, I only really have 2 comments...

way off the deep end with this one, just pretending the whole time that "you killed my father" or "you killed my brother" don't exist

and...

how the fuck does this chick not know about Heavy Rain? rofl...


edit: oh, I get it, mentioning heavy rain would involve admitting there are storylines exactly the same where it's a son instead of a wife/daughter
