There are people with imposter syndrome, who you wish would say more and then there are people with overinflated self confidence, who just won't shut up.

The viewers aren't the game masters, though. I honestly wouldn't want to participate in a game where I have to retain the attention of people without giving them anything of value. I think at some point those who participate also need to take some responsibility.
I don't know if I would call it an incel site. Isn't it just generally "edgy" humor with an IT/nerd slant? Meaning they straddle the line between dog whistle racism and mysogeny and going full mask off.
That reminds me: 9gag
Lovely, always great to read well thought out comments by people who took the time to try and understand what's being said instead of going by the headline and their preconceived notions.
Also love the language, really makes me want to participate more in this community!
Oh wow, I wonder how many people actually watched the video? Guess the title was a little too baity for lemmy. Pobably works better on YouTube.

Lost my driver license. Searched for a while, then decided I'm going to get a replacement. I seldom drive, anyway. Never got around to it until 4 years later I got a letter that it was found. Saved 70β¬ doing nothing!
I really like (most of) game of thrones, but it's a tough watch at times for sure. Breaking Bad on the other hand seemed to be nothing but a tough watch. Stopped watching when the mom starts smoking while pregnant. It was just too much, unrelenting misery for me. I can see it's a really well made show, that deserves the praise, but I just can't stomach it.
I think it's hissing like noises in general that cats find upsetting
You seem to have forgot to link the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-bKFo30o2o

Two movies come to mind:
Alita Battle Angel (2019) might be the best Anime adaptation to date. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess it wasn't received badly, it has been barely received at all. This should have been a blockbuster, but most people aren't even aware the movie exists! It's such a shame, I really hope we get the follow up movies, because this one was great!
John Carter (2012) wasn't great, I have to admit. I can't argue with it's 6.6 rating on IMDb. It's a flawed movie, but it is so much fun! It's an epic pulp adventure! If you go in expecting just that, turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride, you will have a great time! People were really too hard on it, when it came out!
Hey guys, I told one of my mates this story, they mentioned you might like to hear it here.
Before this pandemic, I was running a home brew adventure with some friends, and a couple of strangers and we were having a a blast. It was me, 5 adventurers and our Rogue's Gf (who we'll call Silent) who wanted to watch and learn but didn't feel she could play.
Now Silent had a really bad stutter, and I don't mean bad like she stuttered on every few words but you could understand her, I mean it took her 3 minutes to say 2 words. Because of this, she felt she couldn't really play which is a shame. She would normally watch and then text her boyfriends or me some questions.
But hey we gotta make sure she is involved, so I gave her a character sheet and some spare paper and Silent ended up designing a bard name Baroness Hammer lute with a +10 to Performance (You'll never guess what her instrument was). Now as our sessions continue, I found out that while Silent cannot speak clearly, when she sings, she is essentially clear as day. She could sing entire songs with maybe a slight falter if she has to say 'Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious' and she can 'sing speak' (if that's the right term)
The group are more than happy to have her join in the game so myself and her bf suggest that she plays as the Baroness, but that her character has a curse that makes it she can only sing, she cannot speak normally also we had to nerf that +10 bonus). We ended up calling it 'The Divorce Curse' after her character divorced her husband.
She's happy as a clam and two sessions later, she's literally playing a drum solo on the BBEG with a pair of dragon bones while singing the opening verse from 'Psycho Killer' (which was a little scary).
To see this quite, reserved person turn into a Bardic maniac singing 'C'mere you little goblin bastards! I haven't eaten all day...' was amazing, and it's why I love this game.

Yeah, thought about it, but it's the title of the YouTube video. On Nebula, where I watched it, it's called "The Death of Hollywood's Liberal Fantasy", which is a little better? I think the issue might be the word "liberal".
In any case, I felt it was a bit of a lost cause, so I just added that line. And now, I think I just want to leave it as it is, as sort of a cautionary tale. I'm not trying to convince anyone or market that video π€·
