      U said go to hell. why? I'm a good boy, or could be if I was different. But I'm equal and equal is good so what do you want from me? Money? No one has money anymore, we are all poor now. We are stupidly poor for fuck sake but no one gives a fuck so what is it? Can you please try to make up your mind? Come to Norway and be funny here. We need fun. We got your soda and burgers so why not give us some fun to? But honestly, why are you so ripped? I'm old and ugly, this is not fair. But are you coming here or what?

    Kind of a weird one from Chris, I've seen some weird ass twitter comments about the ad, they definitely exist.
    On one hand you have some kind of faction forming around insulting everyone who likes this ad and painting anime as something inherently perverted, and on the other hand you have the usual crazy people that wille type whatever hot take they think will give them a signal boost regardless of how demented it would actually be in real life.
    Chris showed up late, said "Huh, seems like normal people are mostly talking about it now, this was just some big nothing burger!"
    Like yeah, it is a nothingburger now, because the "outrage" (whatever requirement you need for something to be an outrage is) got shut down hard and fast, nobody was giving them any time of day and they were being mocked, it's over.

      i wouldn't mind if he concluded after doing any research that the whole story blew up for nothing. it started by a few stupid tweets about people clearly showing that they talk about something they don't know anything. Franky that was my conclusion after 1min research.
      But the outrage for the outrage narrative is plain wrong in this case and it feels to me thta this was his conclusion before even researching because as i said, the first google result explained it, and found under the first pic examples of those tweets in questions.

    Chris, I'm sorry but you and your fans missed the boat on this one. They(the original tweet owner) nuked the threads that were there accusing the ad being for p*dophillic. The comment about " Why are the proportions the same with the kid and the mom?" was the only real trace left on that. Rev Says Desu covered it, it's absolutely bonkers. But I've seen whole threads disappearing a lot lately, not just single tweets in those threads. So hundreds/thousands of replies can vanish, now.

      but the vast majority was a lot of leftists asserting white supremes and nazis love this ad cause it's a white family somehow and general complaining about white people because of the mother and daughter in the ad or some people they've made up in their head will use it as some call to arms.

    Chris showed up late to the fight, and immediately wondered how the smoking crater got there.

    14:20 Right here Chris, right here. This is why you are angry. You said it yourself.
    This is some video ludo-narrative dissonance if I've ever seen it. You are angry at a problem that you, yourself perpetuate. You are the architect of your own suffering.

    Had us for a little while, until he talked about a "fake llama" we all know Paul is the true mastermind. He's just been orchestrating WW3 for a while, he'll return.

    Yo dawg, I agree with you on a lot of thing despite being far more center than you. I totally understand that you were just making fun of shit takes on the internet, I do not believe you have 'changed' and I do think cringe right wingers exist.
    But I literally saw a Gundam video, you know a guy who also mostly makes fun of people on the internet (just in an angrier way) make fun of a bunch of unhinged comments about this very thing.
    I'm not saying the entire video is wrong. I don't know if it's really that big of a deal on either side, I've only seen these two videos about it. But unhinged leftist comments do exist, and those comments do blow it out of proportion in away you claim right wingers are doing.
    Like saying 'oh fuck a normal family, this panders to white supremacists.
    As for people complaining about a gay couple, you have to understand that when you are bombarded with propaganda every day, even things that vaguely look like the propaganda will, uh, look like propaganda. Strange how that works.

      Apparently McDonald's scrubbed all the Marxist garbage talking points. So either Chris is late or he's being disingenuous. I still think he's a idiot.

      I remember when the USSR rule left my country, no book or clothes sold If it was red. Also If it was a gay couple only 2-5% of the population could relate to it, and to most seeing some gay couple kissing is gross, yes gay guys get grossed out by straights kissing but theres less gay people to disgust or bother.

      ​@@DarkMark-cf1ec Gay people aren't grossed out by straight kissing. Maybe some are. I'd say the same thing to them: I think everyone needs to learn to stop being offended by mundane things that don't matter. I say this as a gay person.

    To act like you haven't changed *at all* is kind of crazy though. I mean, unlisting your old musicals because people on twitter kept getting mad about them? Reeeally?
    You're really telling me that that's somehting 2014 through to 2017 era Chris would have done with his music?
    I think it's actually far more likely that you would have compiled their whining and made a video making fun of them for it and the idea of censoring art, instead of you know, censoring your own art.
    You absolutely have shifted slightly along with the overton window. But because everyone around you has shifted along with it as well, it appears to you (the observer) as if you've stayed in the same place--but you haven't. You're actions speak for themselves.

    This is the legitimate example of “if I can’t have a loving family, then you can’t either”. And that horribly sucks.
