Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Cyn]

Thank you to both of you~ I appreciate you helping me.

I've already renamed the other Hinata account to a place holder account. There is a time limit on name changing which Warchamp has to override. I am in the process of getting it done for you.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Anyway, that's not entirely my point. My point is that LGBT reps in media can't be flawed. They can't be human. They have to be some perfect little doll that only serves to make the community look good, and it has the opposite effect. While there are a sizeable number of creators out there putting LGBT reps in their shows or whatever as a genuine show of good faith, there are even more out there who add them because they feel forced to by the current state of the world, and it shows in how those representatives are presented.

I'm just saying, the LGBT community has to get better about accepting representatives who are flawed, or else people are going to stop taking us even remotely seriously.

Oh yeah. I agree with that. It's why I hate diversity quotas. If the creator didn't want to include an LGBTQ+ character and are forced they are just not gonna do it right.

Pffft, welcome. *****, I founded that group.

i'm just kidding don't be mad at me pls

psst Hey uh, can you let normal users change our names as well. Think about it

 

[staindgrey]

grey no

by becoming staind you have advanced yourself to something more than human

why would you willingly go back

Because turns out Aaron Lewis is a MAGA supporting racist nah not really.

I've had the name "staindgrey" on everything for nearly two decades. I tried to switch to Grey like five years ago but wasn't allowed. I'm not sure, I kinda like the simplicity?

AAAAAA

YO, GUYS, I MADE IT INTO A SALT IS REAL

I'm so dang excited.

I even got the best Xenoblade song, what are the odds

 

[Pyra]

I can always change my name back after a month.... I think I might do it.....

 

[Noipoi]

I’m curious what some of you based your username off of.

The Pokémon Noivern and Poipole, two of my favorites.

Allow me to give an example of a good LGBT rep in media, using (surprising no one) Zombieland Saga.

This girl right here is Lily Hoshikawa. She's a transgender girl who never actually went through the transitioning process. But because she's a child, her voice still sounds high-pitched enough to be mistaken for a girl. So, throughout this post, keep in mind that Lily is still 100% biologically male.

When this fact is revealed, obviously, everyone in her group is surprised. They saw no indication she was male up until she outright told them she was. The group goes up to their manager, and asks him if he knew about it the whole time. He says yes, and then before anyone else can get a word in, he says it doesn't matter what gender she is biologically, she identifies as a girl, and therefore has a rightful place in the all-girl idol group. Of course, nobody even thought to object to such a thing, since they just wanted to know if their manager knew about it the whole time.

Once these facts are established, it's never brought up again. Nobody ever mentions Lily being trans again. Nobody even deadnames her. She just keeps on being Lily. She's a prime example of what it means to be a good LGBT rep. She's human (well, not really, since she's a zombie, but you know what i mean), and no special attention is brought to her status as a transgender girl after the initial reveal.

TL;DR have LGBT reps in your media strive to be Lily Hoshikawa.

All premium users get one free ban hammer to be used on any non-mod, non-premium member per year, effective for a full 24hrs.

So this is how democracy dies...

How about we don't do that. I'd like to say what I say without getting muted by anyone.

You be different by being you, and bringing your unique personality, creativity, and viewpoint to the table. Reaction videos are generally same-y because they're mostly trying to cash in on a cheap style of video, regardless of if their heart is in it or not, and regardless of whether or not they have an interesting personality. As opposed to Maximilian, whose reaction videos are entertaining because they're heartfelt and he has a great personality.

Similarly, one of my favorite YouTubers is Ross Scott, creator of Freeman's Mind and Ross's Game Dungeon. His latter show is fairly plain on paper--just reviews and analyses of various games he wants to talk about. Many of them can be over 40 minutes long, too, making them not exactly an easy watch. The appeal of his content comes from two things: 1) the games he chooses, which are all often old and obscure, so his content becomes a little intriguing and informative that way, and 2) his personality and sense of humor. He's not the "make excrement and sex jokes nonstop" brand of humor--those things virtually never come out of his mouth. As such, he has such a unique brand of humor and presentation that he can manage to make a 42 minute long video about an obscure Polish PC game from 2007, and it'll get over 400,000 views.

So, apply the same principles to your work, and it'll rub off on people. If you have an interesting personality and present it well, people will take to it.

Visual distinction is important, but not in the way you're thinking of. The color of your skin shouldn't matter as much as your words and character. But really, if you're making an analysis video, what's going to matter is if your visuals are engaging. I haven't really watched Sequelitis because I find Arin's arguments to be deeply flawed, but he presents it in a unique way with his animation, and that's part of why those videos draw so much attention; they're visually interesting, even if what he's saying is crap.

Game Theory understands this as well. They have a distinct visual style that presents the content of their analysis in an engaging and creative way. So for all their flaws, GT does get presentation right. They don't just play clip after clip of footage to get their point across, but instead have different visual representations of what they're communicating.

I say all this as someone who's been out of the content creation game for a while, and whose most popular video had neither of these two principles, so take it with a grain of salt. But this is just one of the things I contemplate despite not having participated in a long time.

As always, thanks Diem.

I have more to ponder now. I'm gonna sit down with a notebook on my days off, watch a ****ton of Youtube videos and write things I hate and love. Maybe I'll find my ideal video setup over time.

 

[Pyra]

Hey what's up youtube, it's ya blade Pyra here

 

[Noipoi]

In the past the lgbt characters I’ve written were absolute paragons of pure goodness, it came off like pure pandering.

Now I just let em be ****ty like everyone else :V

 

[staindgrey]

Gee... I wonder who you'd use it on first...

If you guess right I'll totally admit it.

Merci beaucoup, mon amie. As I said, it means a lot to have you help me.

It just wouldn't be the same if you were simply called "Yoshi"

****ing hate that opening.

god me too

I used to say something similar a long time ago but mostly out of anxiety and not brotubing

 

[monadoboy]

I do donate some. I could donate more.

That's a rabbit hole you gotta be careful with. Idk if it's a common thing, but I had a phase in my life where I felt like I needed to donate as much as I possibly can despite my needs. I ended up giving a lot of money away that I could've saved for things I needed later in life, and spent a lot of my free time in websites like freerice. Sometimes you kinda just feel guilty even when your fridge is empty.

So I'm just drawing random JoJo Characters and I thought of a question, Is it morally wrong to like Stroheim?

He's a freakin' cool Half Cyborg Hero who helped Joseph defeat Ultimate Kars but he's also a Nazi.

 

[Zinith]

It just wouldn't be the same if you were simply called "Yoshi"

But a user named "Yoshi" has to be used to full effect. Like Diddy Kong

Wow, she sounds like an awesome character!
I have a list of anime Netflix needs to add, and Zombieland Saga is one of them.
