Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I rarely click on YouTube links. For some reason I gave this one a try. Turns out she’s bigoted.
That’ll teach me for clicking
At one point I was looking for some help with implementing something akin to UE’s Metahumans but in Godot.
Somehow I stumbled across this one, single person on youtube who had a half decent implementation of what I was looking for…
… and after watching some other videos on her channel… yep, she’s an open NeoNazi.
That was enough internet for me, that day.
yep, she’s an open NeoNazi
In the interest of not giving a potential neo nazi any more views, what made you think this? Apart from if she said “I’m a neo nazi.”
Well it was pretty much just openly saying it.
Her YT channel was a mix of fairly long, sort of livestream clips of development progress and notes… and then just clips of her livestreams where she wasn’t really developing and was just responding to chats, going off about political topics, ‘white genocide’ this, ‘every democrat is a f@g communist’ that, a whole bunch of other dogwhistles or overt references to memes and slogans of various extremist right wing militia type groups…
Also, for clarity, I am not talking about OP’s link, I’m talking about some very obscure other person I found months ago.
There is a difference between being on the conservative side of a culture war and being balls deep into extremist right wing ideology.
Oh I completely misunderstood your comment.
How about you just watch and make the call yourself? Nothing about the video made me think she’s a neo nazi nor did I think she’s a bigot. People are allowed to want and like different things. Just because they have different wants doesn’t mean they should just get random negative label on them and then be hated without actually even seeing what they say.
Well, I literally began my comment with an answer to your first question.
They’re talking about the other commenter.
Ok, I was not considering this point of view at all when I shared this. I was thinking that’s a different point of view on patient gaming that I didn’t have.
I don’t know if it could be classed as patient gaming. As I understand it, patient gamers will eventually get around to current games, just not now. It doesn’t sound like she ever wants to play what’s been released now due to her skewed views
I see what you mean but I think there’s quite an intersection with patient gamers reasons.

YouTube is like the rest of the internet, some good, some bad.

YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.
So it’s more likely to be bad than good.

That depends on what you watch and subscribe. Watch angry, conflict-driven videos, and you’ll get those.
I personally don’t get any of that shit in my feed.

As I’ve said three times now, I barely use YouTube and then only direct links. This isn’t that. YouTube rewards civil bigots so civil bigots are common and have big audiences

What have y’all been clicking on YT? I watch, frankly, an unhealthy amount of YT and I don’t get recommendations for hateful shit.

I barely use youtube. I actively avoid it as much as possible
