Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@Dynamo Frokane Well to be honest, that suggestion can apply to everyone. All it takes is to look at any thread on this forum, the most likely spot you'll see someone coming out of left field and calling them an asshole, is in politics. And I don't wish to see it and neither does anyone else for that matter. "A minor spat". If everyone stopped posting toxic shit like this, maybe there wouldn't be any "minor spats" to being with.

And unless I'm mistaken, you are one of the most frequent posters of this stuff, it's not exactly hard to prove. I mean hell there's literally two political postings in row from you. And since all the Jon post was, is speculation, why couldn't of it just been one post in your OTHER political thread? (rhetorical question)

My post wasn't aggressive at all, it was detailed and the only one displaying links to evidence. Because I got sick of hearing about it. I never said somebody called me racist, you seem to take everything literal as possible...when I don't think it's particularly hard to differentiate the figurative speech. I'm sick of this vagueness...what exactly was so aggressive? Individual quotes. If it's what you highlighted. That's just wrong. For example...

"Maybe they have genuine concern (of this stranger you don't know/never met in your life)" That itself, um yeah...that's about as ironic and clear cut to me as possible, not really aggressive, more like "Come on now, really?". It's not accusing anyone directly and even if it was, it's not even very extremely worded. Just factual. It's the equivalent of calling somebody fat online, WILL somehow help them lose weight.
(*THIS IS FIGURATIVE SPEECH, IT IS NOT IMPLYING YOU OR ANYONE AT ALL SAID THIS* ^ ^ ^)

No, people can't just "have a discussion" you just admitted someone fought in your's previously (as "minor" as it was). This was up for a day, before you called me creepy. Completely baseless and personal. (not exactly on par with me saying flip flopping is a cowardly political tactic.) The other thread was locked because two people were harassing someone who never even replied/did anything to provoke such toxic behavior. (among other things.)

I can't ignore them if say, two people directly reply to me, with @ or going into my visitor messages out of nowhere and decide to treat me like shit. You know just a "hypothetical observation". And I'm not the only one who fights. As you clearly admitted. It's not me that's a problem. Not even really you, that's a problem. It's divisive threads that are a problem...

But if you actually leave me alone, I will respect that. Doesn't mean I expect you to never post on my threads. (Like please, would still love to see goofy adventures of your friends.) Vice versa really. Trying to section off the site, like were two siblings drawing a line in the middle of the shared room is immature and kiddy shit. Just don't make any personal remarks when we happen to be in the same thread. (that goes for me as well.)

<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>

I won't buy clothes from wal-mart because i've had so much rip in the past.

No, I generally don't get involved in boycotts. I commented as I did because I always find it funny how so many big boycotts happen with things I don't really care about to begin with. Happened with Chic-fil-a too. I have played with boycotts in the past, but like you said, being truly serious about it would mean boycotting so many things that my life would become a fucking disaster. I'm not against the idea personally though. If people want to boycott stuff, that is their business. I thought that was supposed to be the perk of market forces after all, that you could vote with your dollar and all that.

As for Jon Tron, I never watched his videos for the simple reason that I never watched his videos. I think I seen the one about lion king actually, and it was okay, but I didn't really follow up. I do watch Critikal videos occasionally, and Dunkey. Also CharlieWinsmore back when he did stuff. But yeh, youtube isn't very priority for me. Just looking back at my history, in the last couple of days it's mostly just shit I watched embedded in other websites, a few music videos, and this thing.

I will say that I don't see youtube has having changed in terms of comedy. Perhaps it isn't that the comedic people have all left, but rather some have left to be replaced by others and you haven't grown new attachments? That's more old age than politics. It's like how I caught myself the other day watching old clips of Reno 911 and realized it was the same sort of shit I made fun of my parents about with them watching The Andy Griffith show reruns.

@Vilageidiotx

Well that seems reasonable enough. :P

Sure it's there right. As childish as it seems when either political side does it. But I don't do them, mainly because boycotts usually end up getting the exact opposite done. (Aka backfire.)
Like chic-fil-a for instance. There is something/an idea that actually does more good. A 'buycott' actually spending money to somebody that did something good and you want to support. Those don't backfire and make people overnight millionaires...

Not one of his best ones, but I suppose I understand when you hear controversy of someone you barely know anything from, the thought of "Well guess I dodged a bullet." Can't really say much about that. (*likes another meme youtube video* I swear this past week has been full of them. o.o)

Well I believe comedy in general has changed. I'd love someone to make a Blazing Saddles of today. It straight up wouldn't happen...and honestly it really does seem like comedy has changed everywhere. New cartoons aren't even nearly as funny, nostalgia not withstanding. But that may be just because of the whole. "People who watched cartoons are now making the new cartoons, so they don't have as much experience." But seriously, most super comedic youtubers were chased off the internet. The ones that were more outrageous in past, stopped for fear of backlash or just ran out of actual ideas and became stale. And a lot of new stuff that took it's place, pales in comparison. There is still good stuff, it's just not as common to find anymore. There's probably plenty more political channels than ever before...so there's that. <.<

@Vilageidiotx I don't even know what I'm doing here anymore...but I want to ask you something then. (I'm bored okay? -.-)

Do you personally go out of your way, to not watch, support or do anything that involves people you find did questionable things? Like music, videos, art and writing...Maybe businesses/brands too?

Do you not watch Disney movies, because Walt Disney himself was Anti-Semitic? For example. Maybe avoid most music altogether. (because man, oh man. Some artists are legit scum bags.) I suppose this could go on forever, but I just wanted to know if that's what you do...

And on a slightly less serious topic...Do you have anyone on youtube you LIKE watching? Being serious, it seems fewer and fewer youtubers exist now that do entertainment as a profession. Everyone left is a shallow husk of what they used to be. And just nobody seems funny or interesting anymore, beside a very select handful of people. (though this is literally the first time this sank in as deep as it has. Why all the good comedic people have left? I understand why now...completely.)

Also a legit shame you won't be able to give him a chance, I actually also didn't like his brand of humor at first. Seemed a bit childish. But gave him a legit try, watched more than one or two videos. And I think why he has a fan base in the first place, is just how much effort he puts into a single joke. Putting in effort for humor really is hard to find nowadays. Least imo, it is.

What Are You Listening To?

I'm listening to a lot of things, like usual.

Every time you listen to a band and wonder why the hell do I still like this? Yep, don't usually care about that.

@Dynamo Frokane Well me asking you to change it was being mildly sarcastic. But if you want me to change the word "coward" to describe an aspect of people I dislike which wasn't only directed at you. For you to not call me creepy for being nice to someone, which is fucking absurd. I may actually take you up on that offer.

@Dynamo Frokane Edit: (Hope you like cat pictures. Deleted my section, now you basically have to delete all your post for it to not be a target. I'd suggest maybe a doggo pic. :D)

As for 'leaving you alone' I feel like I've heard this argument before. '>.>'

If you could somehow explain why you ACTUALLY dislike me and would assume I'm creepy merely for being nice. In PM's with me, I'm seriously always willing to make amends with people who I fought with in the past. But, you'd rather never see me in your vicinity. Which is honestly more ironic, because you started talking behind my back the moment I reappeared. Agreeing to disagree, seems quite impossible from someone that would do that. So we're not exactly even here. -.-

Maybe look for other places to post divisive topics? Anywhere else? There's so many places that would give you better discussions...Like a legit suggestion. Whether followed or not...

Lets talk about JonTron and his possibly racist views.

@Fabricant451 Ah. I guess I was the butt of another joke? :D ...I'll leave. Forgive me.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@Dynamo Frokane Creepy how? (It wasn't. And not even remotely acceptable to say. It was a personal attack, not even subtle either, that was also hidden in a spot you think I wouldn't see it. Or else you'd post in the same place/thread.) And what the fuck even is over familiar? Is that the same thing as people who hate when they get compliments...that aren't "original enough."

Maybe I don't know them well, I don't see them getting complimented and who fucking cares what others have complimented them on...A compliment is a compliment...<.<

Or does that imply, I have to know them closely to say they'd be fun at a party. Dating must be a fucking complicated business, if you have to know someone before you can be nice to them. Isn't the first fucking compliment used on most politicians, is "you could have a beer with that guy?"

How do people make friends? How the fuck can anyone (actually) interpret "You made me laugh." As the equivalent to like asking for a picture of their family or something...<.<

Speaking of straw, that's how flimsy of an explanation that is.

Didn't even say scummy, and cowardly was a general post about general quality I dislike (no really, I dislike cowards in general) You've basically admitted that calling me creepy, was directed SOLELY AT ME. (once again, odd that it wasn't a direct post, @ but hidden away in a thread I wasn't currently present in huh? :3)

Don't apologize, just delete it and change everything. Ya know, for clarity sake. <3 <3 <3 <3

And fair enough I suppose...can't really contest that point. Nor did I, really.

Lets talk about JonTron and his possibly racist views.

@Fabricant451 Will look that up later. Thanks. ^-^ *crosses fingers its a joke video and not porn*
