WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
Posts
I know, I just think that "Be mad at the nebulous rule (that some asshole doing the same thing on a larger scale made) instead of being mad at the person" is a lame reason to not try to stop shitty people from being shitty people.
Outside influences greatly affect a "destiny" more than the person themselves I would imagine
@Pizza I haven't found the FineBros to actually be shitty people though. They seem like legitimately good people who made a mistake. (or two I don't really know)
However, I don't know if there was any less forceful way to show them what they're doing is wrong, so maybe it was for the best. I'm just conflicted that their entire channel had to be ravaged over just this.

What really disturbs me about this whole situation is how flimsy a safety net built on followers can be sometimes.
I mean, most of us are content creators in some way. There are people that like what we do and follow us. The Fine Bros had around 14 million subscribers, which is incredible despite what anyone may think of their content. When they announced the React World or whatever it was, the reaction (heh) was nothing less than explosive.
I used to snort a little when I read posts from popular personalities about how worried they are about letting their fans down, thinking that they would bounce back from any mistake they would have made. Seeing this whole debacle made me realize just how real their worries were. Never. Ever. EVER. Let your popularity go to your head, no matter how dedicated a fanbase you have.
One slip. All it takes is one slip. And that massive fanbase can turn on you.

This is why I make content I want to make and don't think too much about the 'fan' base. I'm not gonna cater and I'm not going to pretend to cater or let their ideas sway my own. Sure, critique is considered but ultimately if I decide to go one direction that 'fans' don't like, then don't care. Will do.
I like the content Fine Bros bring out and while I don't agree with what they tried to do, I'm not going to blacklist them and act like a twat over it. I'm just gonna keep watching their vids and say subbed so I can see their vids. I'm one of those people who, once a 'fan', will stay on because, meh. I follow people because I like the cut of their jib and if I don't like what they're putting out I'll just avoid that thing. (It annoys the fuck out of me when people jump on videos to complain about the content like 'omg I hate this game why you play it?'. Just stop watching the fucking video you stupid shit! :| )

I think the whole debacle's just a sign of the times: The issue isn't only with the Fine Bros themselves, but internet/copyright law as a whole.

I started watching Pokemon XY anime because the animation is so good.
I stopped watching Pokemon XY anime because literally every other aspect is such utter garbage filth that I stayed up late thinking about why they madevso many terrible production choices.
Show had such promise! But then soneone wrote dialogue. And if it wasn't pathetic enough that Jessie & James were back, they dragged their ages old entrance anthem with them.
There was one instance in the beginning, where they make their entrance, get blown away into a tree somewhere, and next episode that happens maybe an hour after the previous episode ended, they make their entrance again. These people are literally insane.
Or maybe the writers think it's funny? Which would explain adding ANOTHER episode occuring catchphrase. The nerd kid that Ash meets (yeah surprise, surprise. He's even designed with old hard lines and sharp edges, while everyone else has modern bubbly edges in their line work. Weird.) has this stupid tangent about 'The future is now, through the power of Science!' And then unveils some invention. Then Ash squeals 'wow science is so cool!'
I die inside. Jessie and James are bad enough. I can't even look at this kid. It's just embarassing.
All of the writing outside of the catch phrases, is just bad. It seriously makes me want to cry. Yeah, I know it is a KID'S SHOW but damn. The animation is so good, it's a real goddamn shame. My gf and I are pretty patient with this sort of crap, but we agreed in unison to never watch it again.

What did you expect? Most kids shows follow some episodic formula, making seeing more than two episodes a waste of time.

I gave up after Ash lost at Kanto.

I'm under the impression that Pokemon is a very, very low-budget show and has been for a long time now.

Pretty much, at least based on my memory of the old Kanto episodes (the only ones I ever saw). Almost everything else on TV at the time was higher quality.

Found out I have a cataract in my left eye. shouldn't be as bad as my eye issues in the past though.

Superluminal- denoting, or having speed greater than light.
In other words...you received the transmission in one second instead of the one and a third seconds a lunar transmission usually takes?
Also, making a rookie error like saying "inspiring" instead of "aspiring" and then correcting yourself instead of just rerecording sort of undermines your tyrannical terribleness. The other galactic dictators might not take you seriously.

I'm wondering how many packets of mini eggs I can eat before It's seen as an addiction.
I have the same problem with loaves of french bread. I'm eating one right now and using my other hand to clumsily type this post. Om nom nom.
EDIT: Still eating, by the way, but if I get fat off these things, I'm totally okay with that.
