Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

tl;dw he had a “flat affect” after his daughter died because he was autistic, not because he was a murderer

Not even going into autism, there are so many misconceptions around what constitutes an appropriate reaction to death.

It's fucked up to think of the people tortured and murdered because they didn't react to tragedy in a socially acceptable way.

And we somehow trust judges in the US to make an accurate call on this?

I'm still stuck on the part where we convict people due to their emotions and not due to evidence that they committed the crime. Smiling during a robbery is not conducive to actually performing said robbery, so why is it admissible in court? The judge shouldn't need to make a call on this at all.

Honestly, it's staggering to think of all of the systemic ableism.

I've seen a lot of "the victim was insufficiently distressed therefore they must be lying" in spousal abuse cases. Performance is apparently a huge part of how much you're believed in court

Alternatively, "The victim was overly distressed and therefore was lying."

Western legal systems tend to favor Morton's Fork.

Isn't a flat affect considered typical nowadays after a traumatic event?

But there are always people who know better than scientific research.

This is what happens when an entire population is educated by Hollywood.
