I Finally Understand Edgelords

I literally cant take the guy Seriously, if he simply dosen't take the topic issue seriously, why should you

jkozuch · 2024-11-22T14:24:06+00:00

How anyone with half a brain cell can take this guy seriously is mind-blowing.

But hey, as long as you have the adoration of fellow misandrists, nothing else matters. /s

How'd I know it was BS Signaler before I even clicked? He's such a fart sniffing faux intellectual kind of progressive - a "coastal elite" type progressive with a veneer of laid back millennial "cool" to him. Insufferable.

He is the exact problem with the left. And until we start rejecting and calling out his brand of judgmental, mocking scoldery we have a long way to go for the left to see the light.

BS Signaler is the exact kind of person that will only serve to further alienate people from genuine leftist causes. He's condescending, elitist, smug, judgmental, lecturing...every negative stereotype that has dogged the left wing for decades. And of course fellow fart sniffers consider him one of their best.

When will these people learn you don't appeal to people with holier-than-thou ivory tower energy? Who does this guy think he's reaching other than people who think exactly like him?

If they haven't seen by now that they've been barking up the wrong tree, then I have little faith they will have an epiphany any time soon.

And I hate to go low (but I don't hate it that much) BS Signaler is the kind of person to call other black leftists/progressive offense slurs out of a difference in opinion. He's done it before. He threw shark3ozero under the bus for one of those nothing burger breadtuber infighting controversies, for example. Shark is one of the most chill and agreeable leftists in that space.

BS pisses me off on multiple fronts. Just stepping out of the gendered aspect of it all, his analysis on art and media is such brittle, shallow, scoldy bullshit - only ever assessed through the lens of how "problematic" something is or how it fails because its politics aren't perfect.

If you enjoy art and media for the sole purpose of it feeding your ideology back to you than why not just stop consuming art in general? This idea that art should encompass some nebulous notion of perfect political praxis smacks of not understanding art on even the most basic of levels.

I can't stand how much of the libfem left engages in media analysis (or the right, to be fair. Your chances of finding good media analysis on the left IS far better than finding it on the right. Sadly, most "left" art analysis you find now that has any semblance of exposure or popularity is strictly along idpol lines - but good leftist critique/analysis is out there.)

The lefts ability to think critically and holistically and approach a film, show, game, book, whatever with nuance is wholly predicated on their own personal feefees and preconceived notions on the topic.

If men identify or find meaning in something, to this people that automatically means its "edgy" and problematic. I find it hilarious libfems and their allies like BS Signaler here are always banging on about how women can never have any interests without being judged for them and yet....

*gestures around with intense frustration*

The fact they can't see their B L A T A N T hypocrisy and double standards would be funny if it wasn't so damaging.

I've only watched 3 minutes, and I swear he's been parodying himself the whole time. One of the first phrases he speaks is "I know I know my shit". It doesn't matter whether you do or not. Leading a conversation by describing yourself that way is like... fucking middle school behavior. And then he moves straight into insulting a group of people, but saying he has "too much" empathy for them. Dear god. It's so bad right from the beginning. I can't watch any further.

hello_marmalade · 2024-11-22T15:51:38+00:00

FD wants to be the 'wise unc' so bad.

BootyBRGLR69 · 2024-11-22T17:09:57+00:00

…misandry, or other words that you make up…

And he thinks we’ll take him seriously?

ratcake6 · 2024-11-22T16:16:07+00:00

I've always found it silly that these ivory-tower "progressives" struggle to understand why dark and villainous characters are so popular. People, famous poets and artists even have been calling Lucifer the real hero of Paradise Lost for over a hundred years, for Christ's sake.

In a past life, these latter day church ladies were calling Lord Byron and Edward Blake horrible blasphemers. Dangerous to society, even! Good heavens! :O

johnnycarrotheid · 2024-11-23T00:16:24+00:00

Didn't know who he is.

Do know his title is wrong, he understands nothing.

I feel stupider after listening to the jumbled up, jump here to there, try and cover everything, understand nothing, nonsense I listened to for 15 mins.

Watched a couple videos and he likes to drop in his education in the only couple I've seen, in the first couple of minutes. Golden rule. If you have to tell people you are smart, you definitely ain't smart.

ONETEEHENNY · 2024-11-22T19:50:28+00:00

Finally someone who gets mad at his videos like I do. It’s like he’s committed to misunderstanding thingd

UglyDude1987 · 2024-11-23T01:47:27+00:00

I've never seen any of this empathy and sensitivity to men issues that this guy alleges and then suddenly in the past year everyone just declared they don't care about it anymore.

It seems to be that they never cared, which is the reason that they are losing disillusioned young men now.

eli_ashe · 2024-11-23T09:32:04+00:00

idk that ill watch it.

ive watched a fair amount of his stuff before, but i know hes a deep seeded misandrist and a patriarchal realist. for him pretty much everything boils down to 'patriarchy' and men doing bad things. i dont see him as any different than trump and vance blaming mexican men; hes just picked a different type of man to blame for the worlds problems.

at fd's best, which i do think is pretty good, he provides reasonable analysis on issues of racism in particular. its only daunting to listen to cause he so oft conflates patriarchy with racism, cause again, hes a patriarchal realist.

all fd means and can mean by reaching out to 'toxic boys' is shaming them, ignoring their issues, denigrating them in front of people, calling them names, and so forth in an attempt to indoctrinate them into the patriarchal realist qanon level of crazy.

something i noted is that after the election, fd was quick to come out as with a 'gonna need this to stop' in regards to the point that men are leaving the left due to misandry, and that harris didnt lose due to misogyny.

not, lets hear them out. not lets see what the boyz are saying are their reasons. just a flat out 'gonna need this to stop'.

something patriarchal realists are desperate to do as a means of hanging on to power; for them the perceived existence of misogyny is a necessary condition for their ideology. the more they can convince people that there is misogyny, the greater they can present misogyny as a problem, the more fantastical and unreal the patriarchal villain they paint (to the point of his little vid), the greater their own influence.

they are fundamentally dishonest people who seek to shut down anyone who disagrees with them in order to uphold their own petty positions of power. not listen to them. not help them. not understand their problems. but shut them down. he said it, so did a lot of others. its all they want to do.

This video popped up on my feed. I would've clicked on it but I realised it would be one of "those videos"

Dr_Decadeology69420 · 2024-11-25T06:40:04+00:00

cant stand that guy

ManWithTwoShadows · 2024-11-25T10:48:19+00:00

Your post made me look up responses to this guy. I found some on YouTube.

ChemistryFederal6387 · 2024-11-22T16:25:02+00:00

An edge what?

I still don't understand what all those pill colours are suppose to mean; now we have more made up stuff.
