  • @patrickwienhoft7987
    @patrickwienhoft7987 6 років тому +59

    "Where are the swasticas?"
    My theory: Often trolls who want to insert those are alone. There is no open community behind trolling things by addind swasticas. It's more of an underground movement, where no one knows anyone else. Each individual feels like belonging to a movement, but there really is no community. I think anonymity plays a big role. The intent is to be sneaky. To annoy others without them having any clue who did it. This brings a feel of power, as the troll them has complete knowledge of the situation while others don't, hence he's feeling as if he was above them.
    However on r/place you could only place one pixel every 10 minutes making it impossible for a single person to create anything. And of course here comes the lack of communication in the troll community; there simply is no subreddit where people who would like to put a swastica on place would meet to plan. Such a sub would not make sense because a) anonymity, see above and b) the point of trolling is to do it everywhere, not just on one dedicated sub. This is such a special case, requiring a coordinated attack from groups of trolls, that simply never really existed before.

      Pepe has been more or less adopted by Nazis and white supremacists, much to the chagrin of the guy who created him. The character is actually a kind, goofy and awkward, er, anthropomorphic frog.

    • @raaaaaaaaaam496
      @raaaaaaaaaam496 6 років тому +64

      flaetsbnort Pepe was a meme because he was such a shitty drawing for Hispanic children to be forced to look at it. Then Hillary Clinton said it was a hate symbol and then right wingers (not Nazis) use all the time in response to the ridiculousness of calling this shitty frog drawing a white supremacist symbol.

    • @flaetsbnort
      @flaetsbnort 6 років тому +4

      It was a white supremacist symbol, as it was being used by white supremacists to represent themselves.

    • @raaaaaaaaaam496
      @raaaaaaaaaam496 6 років тому +40

      flaetsbnort by that logic the ‘dance’ move called the dab is only a symbol for Jake Paul and his Jake Paulette and not anything else. Cause you know, things can’t have multiple meanings and things are as black and white as the holy matriarch Hillary says they are.

    • @flaetsbnort
      @flaetsbnort 6 років тому +7

      Things can have multiple meanings, but one of them can eclipse the others, if one of them was used by, for instance, a group that succesfully elected someone as the president of the United States of America. That makes me sad as I, like its creator, prefer its original symbology as a sad and awkward but good-natured frog dude, but for the majority of people that is not what it refers to.

  • @Polished_Perspective
    @Polished_Perspective 7 років тому +129

    Interestingly no one mentions bots in their coverage of r/place. After the first 24 hours it became fairly evident that there are a lot of bots defending certain parts of it and as time went on and bots got better a lot of the new art was made by bots. It's hard to tell how many bots there were but I would say that without them the black void would be a lot bigger.

      no denying us swedes used a heck of a lot of bots, but as you can se on a closeup timelapse with a timestamp, during Swedish nights the flag was infested with miscoloured dots, and if anyone had made a serious attack on it and used some bots themselves no amount of bots could have stopped it.

      *read in heavy English accent*
      As the void of the the 4 Chan faction with it's tens of thousands of men swarming over the land of wonder and dreams, they massacre all that lye in their wake, women, men, children. They took all my loved ones, my friend, my dignity, I was one of the 37 survivors that managed to run far enough, but my efforts meant nothing. I was the last one left, 36 others were killed just like the rest. I expected them to do to me what they did the rest, but no, they felt it would be better to leave me, to let the grief and anguish slowly take my mind away from me. They left me, left me to wear with nothing but a water skin and 2 days of rashions, and so I went I went till I could no further, and I began to walk, walk till my knees collapsed. And there I met my end.

      I think he meant that lost did not mean anything at all, it was just another jacobs ladder as it was all a fevered dream of the main character as he was laying in the sand dying from wounds caused by the crash. and he eventually had to return to that reality as he was about to actually lose brain function and actually die, Not the button itself in lost had no meaning lol. though I could be wrong, you should as the creator to be sure.

    Pokemon Go started off as an April fools joke. When you take the chains off creativity and just have fun, every now and then you get something awesome.... if fleeting.

      King Kasper it literally didn't start as an April fools joke.

    • @kingkasper4950
      @kingkasper4950 7 років тому +6

      AndroidsDontDance correct, not literally. Good thing I never made that claim haha. It was based on one. An April fools joke where pokemon spawned on Google maps and u could drive around ant "catch" them. It blew up so Nintendo bought the company who made ingress as it was very similar to what they wanted and boom! The birth of pokemon go!
      Tho tbh it should have been obvious I wasn't speaking literally but more waxing poetically haha You can't literally chain up a concept such as creativity. ;-)

      For the record, I was just fucking around.
      In the video, he says "Where's the swastikas? Sure there's a Pepe over there and Charmander's got a big dong but...". He lists Swastikas and Charmander's big dong while in context of making a list of "bad internet-isms", surely he lists Pepe in the middle of them because it's a super popular meme.
      Not really though, that's not how lists work. #FreePepe2017 #PepeDidNothingWrong

    Man, I remember our Dashie. We defended and held on to that pony with clutches of steel. No one could put a dent in her! She was a pretty significant size relative to those around her, too.
    We had some pretty good alliances too; most of our neighbors were our allies.
    My favorite event was the numerous attacks on OSU. While I admittedly was on on the attacking end somewhat, I have to give then kudos for their dedication.
    The whole thing reminded me of empires, governments, and politics from a historical standpoint.

    pxls.space is the best new one. It has bot protection now and you can place every 2 and a half minutes. The current superpower is the Axis (Prussia, Finland and Ukraine) which established their dominance over the Allies (Green Lattice, OSU, and various things in the top right). The black void is still lurking around (you can see some cracks opening and Aku might be their mascot), and the blue corner is there too but they keep getting stamped out by Austria (which is joined with the Axis).
