Seems valid
I don’t understand people who defend twitch streamers generally.
He’s just some guy in his basement who is on video for hours putting out poorly researched takes that I could come up with if I were lazy (considering that I heard one of his research streams was reading wikipedia).
PhilosophyTube clearly reads books so I respect her. Vaush doesn’t come across as a guy who ever read a book, and I don’t read enough books, so why the fuck would I listen to him.
Idk maybe I mellowed out more since I can’t even be mad at these online people, just confused at their existence. Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson used to sincerely piss me off but now I just ignore it because there’s no point since I don’t know anyone who takes him seriously (although I used to know JBP fans)
He’s read at least one book, lolita
Lolita is pretty plainly anti-pedo. More than likely, he just got a version of the book with an abominable, sexualized cover and just leaves it on his shelf.
Failures of reading comprehension are everywhere, and “le curtains were fucking le blue” takes are also everywhere. No surprise to me that many see Lolita and blue curtain it to fit their own ideology. :kombucha-disgust:
Not if you are stupid enough. It’s a book where the narrator definitely tells you what he is doing is normal and good, you have to realize he is lying. If you don’t think critically at all, you will just believe him. Vaush and his fans show a lack of critical thinking, so I wouldn’t doubt this very easy to pick up on untrustworthy narration would soar over his head like an eagle
:so-true: “The curtains are blue!!!”
