Sargon's video: • Video
*Footnote 1*
It’s important to note here that even if you’re not a utilitarian, almost all ethical paradigms hold that actions can be moral that are not violent, including natural rights ethics. It seems Carl is conflating the question “Is this act immoral” with the question “should this act be coerced against by the state?” But we can all come up with actions that people are free to do that are morally better or worse than other actions (even if you only believe in subjective morality). Consider giving to a charity for sick kids versus buying something that will help no one. Certainly, both actions should be legal in a capitalist nation, but the first action is pretty clearly the morally superior one.
*Footnote 2*
I thought I’d speak a bit about how why I think it’s reasonable to make the claim “science can’t disprove that art affects people.” It seems that Carl and many of the people who like Carl are under the impression that science, what we might define as the formalized process of experimentation in order to discover facts about the world, has a monopoly on the way we come into real knowledge. This, however, is clearly not the case. Imagine that a scientific study came out that said “People do not see the color blue.” Well, we might read the article and it might have some interesting findings about how the color blue functions, but no matter what, the article could never disprove that people see blue. It is objectively true that we have the experience of seeing that color. This claim is similar to a hypothetical scientific article claiming that media does not affect people-- there is simply an insurmountable amount of evidence against that being possible. Not only do I have memories of media affecting me both emotionally and intellectually, but also, every single person I have ever met would say the same. Moreover, the existence of advertising, the existence of religious texts exist that inform people’s faith, the fact that my video had a clear causal relationship to Carl making his, these are all objective facts that cannot, and could not, be disproved via experimentation.
*Footnote 3*
So, I felt a bit of conflict here, saying that he uses the argument here as evidence for his conclusion that, “no moral critique of art can be grounded,” since he never explicitly says that. But frankly, it’s something we have to assume. Since he doesn’t think that we can make grounded moral claims about the messages of media, and since he uses the argument in this section to disagree with me about my position that Lubenshluben provides evidence of our ability to make such claims, we have to think that, at the very least, he thinks his argument here is pushing toward his conclusion.
*One Additional (and maybe important) Note*
In my video at one point, I say "In Sargon's mind, Anita Sarkeesian is trying to exert her will and he's trying to exert his," and this has led a few of you to point out that yes, Sarkeesian clearly does want to influence the video game industry. I could have spoken a bit more carefully here. What I meant is not that Sarekeesian does not want to influence things, but that, for her, interpretation is not *exclusively* a matter of influence. The observations she makes of Double Dragon here are reasonably well grounded, they are not true or false, good or bad, by virtue of Anita's desire to exert power and she never implies otherwise. Where Sargon constitutes the entire thrust of his argument with his preference for certain interpretations over others, Sarkeesian does not.
*I thought I'd also take a moment to talk about some of the more minor, incorrect claims that Carl makes over the course of his video.*
At one point, he says that art cannot be inherently meaningful, that art is just objects and that objects do not have any inherent meaning. I think Carl has forgotten here one of the most important preconditions of art: That it was made, most likely by a person. This fact makes it literally impossible for any work of art to be meaningless--it will always have, at one point, been meaningful to the person who made it.
Toward the end of his video, Carl says that Lubenshluben cannot be evil because films are objects, not moral agents. It seems obviously untrue that only moral agents are the only things that can be evil, since actions can also be evil. For example, a murderer might be evil, but the act of murdering is also frequently described as an evil one. And make no mistake, Lubenshluben *is* an action. It was brought into existence by people who wanted to bring it into existence. As such, Lubenshluben is the sort of thing that can be evil.This was a very silly and pedantic point.
Finally, Carl returns in his video to the untrue idea that it is impossible for video games to be causing violent action *while* the murder rate goes down. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's evidence that video games cause violence, but it's important to note that society is filled with confounding variables. It is not impossible for various social changes to cause less crime overall, while video games, a relatively minor aspect of most people's lives, causes them to go up.
*Oh, and Sargon, if you're reading this,*
My offer is still open to have a text conversation that we can make public at any time. I don’t think some live discussion would be nearly as productive. I understand that you like live conversations and the like, but I just prefer to work more meticulously.
Feel free to ask any questions about my video! Thanks for reading my novel.
I know this isn’t a question concerning the video, but what was up with that livestream you started and then just left?
Posting a wall-of-text comment under your own video, hah! (Actually an interesting read as well
I think it would probably be best not to talk to him. Every debate is just a fundraiser for his perceived war.
I'm of the complete opposite opinion on moral agents compared to Carl. I am not particularly convinced that a human being who makes moral choices should ever be considered good, evil, right, wrong. I don't think that a human being can inherently contain these properties.
Rather, when I think about it, I can only possibly attribute properties like right and wrong, good and bad, harmful or beneficial - to ideas, objects, actions, systems. I cannot possibly know nor prove whether Hitler was an evil *person*. I wouldn't know how to ever prove that Hitler's *body and brain*, that his very person, was evil. Rather, I can only describe Hitler as having been evil by pointing towards his actions, towards the systems he put in place, towards his ideas and words. I could only ever suggest that the Person named Adolf Hitler was an Evil Person in a roundabout way by pointing towards all of these things that were NOT his person.
So yeah, I think that sargon's claim that the film must be an acting moral agent is literally attributing morality to something that cannot contain inherent morality. Human beings are just flesh and blood with meat computers in our skulls.
Big Joel My problem with Anita is her impact on the stories of games like Anthem and COD WW2. She isn’t only a critic. She holds some of the “means of production” if you want to call them that.
I’m not claiming your a Communist. I was just being tongue and cheek.
Sargon: "I don't care," he says, caringly, as he cares deeply
"I don't care," he said as slowly shrank into a Care Bear.
"I don't care" seems to be his tagline
“Harry did you put your name in the goblet of fire?” Dumbledore asked calmly.
I thought at first, this was an interesting historical biography on a famous Akkadian king, but instead it's about some dinghead named Carl.
For the video you were looking for, Quinton Reviews did it over on his channel in between segments of an increasingly unhinged dissertation on Raid: Shadow Legends ^^

Right there with ya bud, thought I was in for some history when I saw the title. Technically speaking, I guess I got some.
Et tu, Et tu, Vi? Sorry, had to make a joke with your name, but yeah, me too. I was expecting a video about some Mesopotamian and got a video about someone who's views would probably fit in ancient Mesopotamia. Who am I kidding, from the little I know about that dude he's probably even too retrograde for Mesopotamia.
And you know what? Forget about he, I'm gonna refer to them as they, since that would probably piss them off.

“You have your own biases, like thinking nazis are bad, and I have my own biases, like thinking feminism is bad” is QUITE the argument
Yuh
That’s a holy shit moment
@@Sm0k3turtliteral mask off moment
Don't we have biases tho?
I disagree that nazi's are bad. They are evil. They are worse than people who, due to their human weakness, occasionally act immorally. And due to their collective actions their aggregate evilness is multiplied and many correctly considered them a great evil. I disagree that Feminism is bad purely because feminism is an ideology. It does not have free will, it has no agency and can't make moral decisions.

Big Joel DESTROYS sargon of akkad with CARE and ATTENTION
I really loved this video but it created a massive problem! I left the Anti-esjayuu vortex almost 2 years ago and the UA-cam algorithm had adapted to my new, healthier way of life by purging those assholes from my recommended but because of this video, my recommended is full of Sargon's shit. I wanna die!!!!

It would raise the cringe level of "DESTROYED BY FACTS AND LOGIC" even more.

Meep Meep
I’m so sorry dude that’s got to be mega disappointing
Funny when you factor in the fact that, in Carl's own words, "made the channel as a response to Anita Sarkeesian"
it gets even more ironic when you realize he named himself after the ruler of a culture known to celebrate sadism towards it's political enemies. Sargon was the dude who praised himself, in stone, for making defeated enemies live the rest of their lives literally chained up in dog cages just because, well, he was stronger than them.
Just replace “I don’t care” with “I can’t be bothered to learn” and suddenly his videos make more sense.
Bold of you to assume he could
I read this and immediately imagined Carl as a grandpa getting pissed off at an iPad. What a fucking boomer lol
It's more like he DOES care and he doesn't want to learn. Someone who doesn't care would not make the video constantly saying how he doesn't care.
@@Gooong He cares that what he likes and believes is being challenged. His argument against progressive ideas is all too often "there is no problem because it has always been this way, and I'VE never noticed an issue." He says it without a hint of irony, like it's completely sound logic.
AHxIntrovert44
Or with "I care A LOT". Too much in fact 😄
Joel, don’t lie. The only reason you made the original video was to hear Sargon say “Lubenshluben”.
I bet carl looked it up and is sad it isn't real.
It's a pretty good reason though.
You have to admit it's really funny
Sargon of Akkhad is like that one kid in your AP English class who NEVER does the reading, but complains whenever he gets a grade lower than a 95.
I knew this feeling was familiar
You're my new favorite person.
Let’s be serious Sargon was the kid that didn’t go into A.P. classes but he claimed to be taking actual college course or because the teacher was a Marxist.
I knew this felt familiar.
King Peppy I’m confused.
The moment when Sargon tries to asset his masculinity on a man he views as weak and then gets completely bent over by an honest man's discussion is probably the best part of this video.

Sargon is the ultimate status quo warrior. He doesn't care about the substance of people's critiques, he cares that they have critiques at all. He's so aggressively anti intellectual it's actually fascinating.
Know 'Genetically Modified Sceptic'?
Based take
I think part of that is that looking at the substance of people's critiques would take him more than 5 minutes.
which is fascinating, because he somehow presents himself as an intellectual.
@@rocker1296 Which we all know is an exorbitant amount of time to expect someone to devote to such a thing.
God hearing Carl say “I don’t care” so many times makes it even more strange that he is a grown man and not some fifteen year old loser who watched South Park as a kid and thinks they’re cooler than Everybody else.
If you watched South Park as a kid you are objectively cooler than everybody else

@@MrThomazSatiro facts
Sargon's tactic when he gets cornered or called out on misrepresenting something or just being straight up wrong is to exclaim "I don't care!" or "There is no reason to care!"
Exclaiming "Who cares?!" _IS_ his argument.
My brother does this. He's always thought of himself as some kind of a brilliant debate tactician just because he can reduce everything down to broad navel gazing pseudo philosophy about the natural uncertainty and subjectivity of reality. Often the next step to "winning" the argument is by nihilistically proclaiming meaningless to everything. And so they conclude with smug satisfaction in supposedly being "right" for having the "best argument" even though by logical extension of their worldview their own argument is meaningless by default; leaving no reason to take satisfaction in it.
Oh yes the famous, "I don't Care."
Every single time, I've even called him out of it and he said that's not true.
He doesn't care about climate change, or solutions to sexual harassment, or race, or media representation, or feminisim, or SJW, or anything.
Ergo he's never wrong about anything, because, who cares?
If one doesn't care, then why should we is my response.
So I used to watch a lot of these anti-sjw videos and the point of "I dont care" is simply that Sargon and the others dont see the value in what Anita is saying. Some points that Sargon and others have made is that Anita's time would be better spent using her resources/influence trying to effect change with real issues,such as the mistreatment of women in the middle east. She made many thousands of dollars and used that money to attack gamers/developers. Really? Damsel in distress is perpetuating the patriarchy? So I should ignore a woman in need of help? Anita is an absurd person with some (not all) of the arguments she makes, and i've met the type. One time some crazy feminist got angry with me because I held a friggin door for her?? Like wtf? She actively made my day worse even though i was clearly trying to do somthing nice. I now disagree with Sargon on most things, but on this issue there is clearly a loud annoying minority of people who seem to have the sole objective of tearing people down and playing the victim. The sad thing is Anita could effect change. But no, VIDEO GAMES BAD!!
greenbay champ
There's a term for what you are suggesting. It's called a "whataboutism." Look irregardless of how much you feel Anita is an "evil person", she more then allowed to say what she damn well wants and focus on what she damn well please as much as Sargon is allowed to whine endless about how Anita doesn't care about woman in the Middle East rather then worry about that himself. Either you can debate them on their on points they have made, or you can shut the fuck up. And how do you even know she doesn't care about the woman in the Middle East? What's your proof of it beyond the fact that she mostly focuses her channel on talks about media and not on other things? We are allowed to talk about multiple things in this world. We don't have to be forced to talk about things you deem as "more important." Because in the end it would be so easy for me to come back at you and say "why worry about the people in the Middle East when the climate is changing?" or "why worry about climate change when people are dying of famine?" It doesn't disprove anything she has said, nor does this talk about how "evil" or "crazy" she and other feminist are. That's why Sargon fails. That's why anti-feminist fail.

He really does speak for a generation.
A generation of men like me who were so petrified by appearing wrong (and therefore, weak). Rather accept the fact that they could be incorrect, they built up an ideology where facts and arguments are supposed to be fungible so that they could never appear weak again.
A belief system built upon radical self-interest to defend fragile egos.
How are YOU so far into the comments section. Specially considering that you are making a reference to one of your own videos.
Never play defense.
"Not well served by masculinity"? With those eyes? Wow, Sargon has a narrow view of masculinity and poor taste in men.

Sargon trying to attack your masculinity because he's intimidated by *big* joel
Edit: in retrospect sargon gives away the game completely when he tries to refute Anita by comparing games to potentially harmful substances like cigarettes. The conversation isn't on safely enjoying games, it's about the politics and potentially problematic, sexist attitudes depicted in some games, critiquing the media. Petty basic, but Sargon refuses to recognize this because he's completely in support of any and all forms of sexism and patriarchy and that's why he can't face a discussion on it.
Or ....because Joel is not very masculine. Ever thought about that? No that can't be it right? Sargon must be intimidated...

Stop that! I’m happy people are offering constructive criticism, but don’t ever mock someone like that! Making someone guilty by their actions is fine, and it’s fine. Even humiliation and self defense is fine when it’s justified. But don’t shame someone! It’s different. You don’t criticize just their actions, but their worth as a human being. As an individual! And to say that is to act as if they’re not human. As if they don’t have emotions. Really, he’s done several wrong things, but it doesn’t make you any better to mock someone like this. Shaming like that is what leads people to bigotry in the first place - to make people into silent faceless numbers in their mind with no hobbies, likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams and fears!

Sargon suffers from the lazy response video formula. Where he records himself reacting to a video sentence by sentence. So he will miss points being built up in a paragraphs and pages. He'll complain that there's no forest because of all the trees in the way.
They are always tedious videos where it takes hours to get through a few minutes of video to critique.
The most bizarre thing though is, at least to a very easily-swayed mushbrain like me . . . it's kind of compelling. Like, Sargon is obviously a fucking moron, but he *sounds* smart enough if you're not paying too close attention. Like if you don't notice that he's doing the sentence-by-sentence trick, you might think some of his discrete points have merit, and start nodding along. There were a couple times where I was like "well, I guess so . . ." before Joel smacked me in the face with his polite, soft-spoken common sense and I realized I was being played.
I mean at the very least sargon knows what he's doing through intuition scraps of reading and other things. Don't feel too bad about falling for it.
Whenever someone responds to something I post with a granular sentence-by-sentence critique, I go "you know, this is not my idea of a good time" and peace out. It's exhausting and pointless talking that way!
@@silvertamagachi Reminds me of my first reaction to James B. Peterson, they aren't the same _kind_ of compelling until you listen to someone else, and then insine, (wel obviously their pushing the same views in a lot of ways, and both going for a kind of authoritative masculinity, but jordan is much more intensely post-modern.)
The nice effect that comes from it is when they go to the next sentence and realise, midway ranting, how they just cornered themselves. Like when Joel is finishing the Lubensluben rhetoric and he cuts right before Joel gets to the point of the thought experiment. Then, on continuing the video, he sees that he needs to back down on his argument, but instead he chooses to go full gas and says "well fuck it, you can say nazism is bad, so I can say feminism is bad".

Ah. Another Circle Dancer who needs to circle jerk!
Except that black people use it all the time so are they racist?
@@DkKombo They meant if you were white or something
@@DkKombo Depends on the context.
Some in the black community think the word is disgusting and invokes memories of an oppressive history that is still being challenged today. Others think that black people should reclaim the word as a form of rebellion against that same history; a demonstration of their power to reclaim that history for themselves.
I personally don't say it, but many of my friends (black, brown, and white) do use it a lot. For them, it is just a part of their vernacular; a sort-of fungible term that can be used both as an insult and as a statement of who you are.
I would say it's always best to just not say it unless you're in good company with folks who are willing to use it as well. Though, it's always best to ask what their opinion of it is first.
@@bigoofsushi6979 oh okay yeah surrree that makes it so much better.
The insistence he doesn't care is just fascinating to me, because he and thousands like him spent six years "dEsTrOyInG hEr WiTh FaCtS aNd LoGic" in ways that just didn't ultimately matter. She made her points, the backlash was ugly, *but* she was heard and the gaming sphere changed. A strong uptick in games with girl protags, far fewer companies comfortable catering specifically to the nerdbro crowd, and edgelordian sexism/homophobia ceased to be the dominant flavor of the culture. (And don't get me wrong, it's far, far, far from perfect. But no matter how you slice it, it was *so* much worse in 2013.) Hell, after that ado about Double Dragon, the next game in the franchise was (the fucking delightful) River City Girls. I don't think that would have happened without Anita.
She made her points, the backlash was ugly, and the gaming sphere changed. And a good deal of that change probably had a lot to do with how ugly the backlash was. So the inceptive conceit of Sargon's channel-being Big Mad About Anita-probably only ultimately rendered her more successful and influential. No wonder he's trying to insist he's indifferent now.
I also think the gamer gate probably led to the exposing of nice guy mentality, incels and other misogynist rhetoric. I think it did start with the early feminist movements online so now most of these guys are mocked now instead of upheld. I agree we have a long way to go but it still feels amazing looking back.

And they basically see it as hierarchies , in this case as men above women ,
And they would percive feminism as flipping that hierarchy , it would men at the bottom women at the top ,
And therefore whenever he debates feminism , which by the better understood version of the term means seeking equality for both genders ,
There is this weird dissociation between what we say and what he responds with ...
Besides as someone who recovered from being alt-right i think that feminism needs a model for masculinity made by men for men which maybe women can veto if it's too sexist ...

They don't talk about politics because they have any particular goals or beliefs. They get involved with things they hate because their own existence is empty and friendless. Nobody will come to their birthday party if they hosted one (or they believe nobody would come). So they'd rather go to someone else and complain that they're not being catered to.

Big Joel energy on this video
Sargon doesn't care about facts. He used a couple pictures from matriarchal societies to try to make a point that matriarchy doesn't get "results," but if you read the article he got it from, it says they've been doing fine for some five thousand years without needing to change. No other human civilization has ever been able to be that sustainable. He took it out of context and expected us not to read it.
Often times, the sources that right-wingers throw at you often debunk their own talking points. It's debunked inside of the body of the source, not the tittle of course; which is why they always miss it.
@@RemixedVoice or sometimes, the right winger's sources is that they themselves are full of lies as well.
That’s because he didn’t read it either, and he can’t imagine anyone making better choices than him
RemixedVoice I know this is an old comment, but I just have to respond because it’s so relevant to a ‘conversation’ earlier today.
A man was attempting to prove that he’s, in fact, fine with trans people, and his only issue was ‘when they start taking my rights’. As an example of this he stated, unprompted, that it’s illegal to misgender someone in California.
I live in California so I was like what the fuck, source please? Cos that’s obviously not a thing.
So he tried and failed to post a link, and when it didn’t go through he posted a screenshot of his google page. The SECOND article was Fox News- “California now forces jail time for misgendering”. But the FIRST ARTICLE was Politifact, “Headlines mislead about California forcing jail time for misgendering”.
It was a truly, wholly, glorious moment.

I doubt most people would label themselves as anti-SJW even if they don’t agree with the politics presented by SJWs. Being proudly anti-SJW is a bit of a dog whistle.
Did anyone else find it funny that Sargon said that no one cares and that she has no relevance. Yet he made this response video.
He does that shit all the time. All these "skeptics" tell SJWs to stop being triggered snowflakes, while making videos acting like triggered snowflakes.
I don't know if Joel has said this, as I've yet to finish the video, but it's because he is angry that people are still talking about her in a positive light. Anyone liking or caring about Anita Sarkeesian undermines his feeling of victory over her.
Did you ever think that Sargon might of found Big Joel relevant/interesting? (rather than Anita) That Big Joel was appealing? After all feminism aside, Big Joel is usually quite clever.

for me it wasn't her opinions in and of themselves, i didnt mind that she had a different opinion than mine or anything. it was more that i felt like there didnt come from the most honest place sometimes. she was exposed to not really be that interested in games, and just wanted to make some patreon/backer money for some video essays that she didnt deliver on or something. so to my young mind, it was sort of disingenuous. as well as that, i found some of her takes to be quite odd. for instance, her notorious hitman piece really missed the mark for me. you know about the strippers and how you completely had the option not to kill them or something? . it was a long time ago, to be fair and that being said yes the obsession with her is really out of fashion, didnt gamer gate happen years ago? like, Chill sargon lmao.

You'll notice sargon's behavior in a LOT of conservative arguments. They never actually address your point directly, they always attack the idea standing vaguely adjacent to your argument.
I was watching a "debate" at one of the local uni's in my city that was a terf against a transwoman, and the topic was on if trans rights were harming women's rights. At one point in the debate the terf just straight up asked "who even cares about trans rights?" to a room that had a couple dozen trans people in it.
Rachel Madison
Well, the TERFs already think that. She just said the quiet part out loud.
I think that's because conservatism, at it's core, is really about maintaining/reinforcing social hierarchies. Most of the ideological beliefs they claim to hold are just a smokescreen (albeit, often an unconsciously created smokescreen), and they will be dropped immediately if holding those beliefs no longer serve to defend their position of relative power over those below them in the hierarchy. Facts, logic, reason, truth, equality, justice, egalitarianism, scientific or academic inquiry, happiness, prosperity, fulfillment; these are all things that they are happy to sacrifice if they think it helps to preserve the "natural" hierarchy. And if any of those things threaten their good standing in the hierarchy, then they must be unnatural.
Under those assumptions, Trump's actions as a conservative make sense. He's using the power of the government to reinforce what he thinks is the natural social hierarchy. One where Americans (and white, protestant Americans in particular) are on top.

This is one of your best videos. I was thinking about this when I saw Sargon respond to one of Lindsay Ellis’s videos about J.K. Rowling, in which he suddenly acted like the safety and comfort of women was worth prioritizing against “radical trans activism.” It just hit me how Carl thinks how the only conversations worth having are the ones that he decides are worth having. If Carl doesn’t have complete control over the topic, if it can’t revolve around his ego and preference, if he can’t be validated that he is 100% correct and doesn’t need to learn anything new, then he simply says he doesn’t care and acts like the topic isn’t worth investigating or exploring. HBomberguy put it best. Carl doesn’t know. He doesn’t care. And he wants to know and care less.
You ever argue with someone for so long you forget why you're arguing in the first place? Yeah that's exactly what's happening. Sargon might not even disagree with Anita's analysis, but the two are such sworn enemies he feels the need to attack her analysis because she said it.

Sargon of Akkad: the only person to care so little that he makes a long editted response video
Rain Rope a person that cared so little that they kind of started the conversation.

Ha ha ha ha. This is one of the funniest 'funny cause it's true' statements I've seen
Alex & Rah have you been living under a rock?
Anita S is known due to Sargon and similar people in the first place
Rain Rope did he though? He literally puts no effort into his argument. His schtick is so baseless he should be executed
Sargon: "I don't care about Anita Sarkeesian"
Also Sargon: Makes a 40 minutes video to talk about Anita Sarkeesian
Way more than just one... Made a whole UA-cam channel to talk about Anita Sarkeesian.
I love how you approach everything like it is art. This kind of art-criticism of Sargon is just perfect!
It's definitely a very interesting approach. After all, even youtube videos of someone talking over a picture for an hour are a form of art in a sense.
Once you noticed it, the tactic of pretending to be a careless joking rebel who just happen to spend most of his time whining about feminism appears in almost every altright video. It's pretty impressive. At least Paul Joseph Watson doesn't play pretend, he is proud to be a malevolent crazy person.
Sargon makes a lot more sense if you know he's a college dropout and his sister has a master's degree in gender studies.
NANI?!
@@basambinsohailraja1801 Here's the stream where he said it. I spent an hour looking for it again, but holy fuck, I gave up. He brought on the most long-winded people. There's a commenter confirming he said it at some point in the stream, though. He said "academic feminist" and I presumed gender studies.

Plenty of successful and intelligent people either drop out of college or don't go there. Educated also doesn't mean intelligent. Additionally, there are plenty of people with degrees from college serving coffee while Sargon managed to be successful on UA-cam. Your implication falls apart under basic scrutiny and reeks of smug elitism. Just a passing by comment.
@@EntertheFray1 who mentioned "success" anywhere in OP comment? Also, success also doesn't mean intelligence, however education it is strongly correlated with intelligence. What's your point? quoting some passing by commentor: "Your implication falls apart under basic scrutiny and reeks of smug elitism"
@@EntertheFray1 Except good education is strongly correlated with intelligence. I've went from a guy who never studies, to a guy who studies a lot, and it has significantly improved my brain. Whatever though, HURRRR MY DAD THE FARMER IS SMARTER THAN THE PHYSICIST AT BERKELEY.
>I don't care about anita sarkessian
>has made his entire youtube career out of making videos about her for fucking years
Mhmm sure
Aw, Carl is tsundere for Anita.
Big Joel OBLITERATES sargon of akkad with FEELS and CRITICAL THEORY
with **nuance and reason*
Also: what's "critical theory"?
@@gelatinocyte6270 critical theory is often used to mean the same as the frankfurt school. So Adorno, Horkheimer, that merry bunch, I think
Critical Theory FTW!!!
Critical Theory is the intellectual traditions sum total of the humanities generally and literary criticism specifically. It includes but is not limited to "the Frankfurt school" and is the basis undergirding all of Big Joel's videos
God I can’t believe I used to watch Sargon. All of his work is just beating everyone over the head with “I’m right” without any nuance.
Katherine Lanier Same. I occasionally check on that side of UA-cam every now and then. It seems even those on “his side” think he’s a dumbass.
I assume you meant nuance. There's plenty of nuisance there. ;)
Katherine Lanier I think at one point we all went through our edgy overly-verbose-while-not-making-an-argument-while-pretending-not-to-care UA-camr phase.
Someone random who are you talking about?
I used to watch Thunderfoot waaaay back in the day when he made videos on atheism. Luckily I got out after I realized he was a massive ass who just wanted to power trip on the lowest common denominator. I feel filled with shame when I think about it.

The problem is always the ego. Instead of being flexible and open to better information, an attack on Sargon's ideas is an attack on Sargon himself, just in the same way that he attacks Joel personally because he thinks Joel's opinions must be a reflection on Joel himself. And in the same way Anita exposes bad ideas in video games, which literally inspired him to start making videos, he feels the need to defends his worldview unprovoked. And I'm pretty certain his view on feminists hasn't changed. He's not here to learn or grow. He's here to demand others comply to his perspective. Because it's about being right, not about what is true; his argument boils down to the idea that his views are true for him, without being bothered to contend with the lived experience of more than half the human population, women who have been the butt of the joke of the video games he baselessly defends.
The end point of his philosophy is a moral nihilism of the worst sort, which precludes the need for him to even state his opinions in the first place. And instead of believing people who are negatively effected by harmful stereotypes and cultural norms, he entrenches himself deeper into those norms, crying out for someone to agree. And the approval of others who live equally unexamined lives is the end point of some of the most pernicious parts of the internet.
B W last sentence is fucking poetry.
I don't recall Sargon ever making an actual argument. He just hurls his feelings and calls them facts.
True
Facts don't care about your feelings, Carl.
I think it was Michael Brooks who finally finished the thought on the right-wing staple "Facts don't care about your feelings..."
"...they only care about mine."
Projection has never been so satisfying to watch.
@@kylelacey1212 Projection is one of the many weapons in his "red pill" arsenal. Maybe the worst one is equivocation, because after you have spent 2 solid hours just equivocating facts and making such a "clear" point it's a gargantuan task to go through a all the misuse and misunderstanding of terms, literature and statistics that you have let these things slip virtually free.
There are three things of which we can be certain: death, taxes, and Big Joel being an objectively hot troubadour.
Big Joel is an Objectively Hot Troubadour. It is known.
Are yoy sure about taxes? 'Cuz I don't know man they're kinda tricky
I really loved that part about Sargon coming to your birthday party uninvited and loudly complaining what a waste of his time being here is was my favorite. So many people click on videos to comment on how much they don't care about the subject. They obviously care though. It takes more effort to not watch the video then to click on it and comment on it.
