This is brilliant. I've been trying to get back into astronomical viewing this last month. A comprehensive list of events on here is really helpful! Thank you!
I always feel bad for Molyneux. Like, I get it, when I start some new project, in my head it's this piece of perfection and I get excited to make it and show it off. But the process is so long I just wanna tell all my friends how awesome it is.
Difference is, he doesn't seem to understand restraint. A project is almost never as perfect as you imagine and you gotta hold back for when reality kicks in, or your motivation will take a nose dive and well... you end up with Godus.
I "watched the video till the end" so you don't have to.
24 seconds in: Has already put forth an incredibly ignorant opinion as if it were fact.
[Big gap here where he lists the history of the LGBT movement with the occasional nonsensical opinion passed in that isn't discussed because he knows it made no sense, e.g. he points out the one positive Republican contribution explicitly while ignoring the fact every oppressive action he listed was Republican lead)]
12 minutes in: Soros conspiracy time? Seriously? I should be used to this bollocks by now but it still creeps up on me.
15 minutes in: Abuse of the fact the average viewer doesn't understand how statistics work to insist "black people are homophobic".
17 minutes in: He pulls up a Malcolm X quote criticising liberals, with the intent to either make conservatives think Malcolm X supported them, or to enrage liberals against them. Either way it seems to have nothing to do with the video, it's just there to provoke general outrage because he immediately moves on and doesn't discuss it at all.
18 minutes in: His "evidence" that "being gay is a modern thing" is: because older generations show lower rates of being gay and it can't be that they're "closeted" or in denial because "older people don't care what you think and would tell everyone". Apparently insecurities and self repression from decades of negative influence aren't a thing in old people, I guess?
19:30 moment: Calls himself courageous for making the video lmao
20:00 moment: Implies straight people are being "abused" because wahwah, poor oppressive group!
The rest is outro.
In conclusion: It's exactly what you'd expect. Another piece of homophobic garbage made to take advantage of people who were never taught critical thinking skills to push an oppressive agenda.
Hope that saved you guys 22 minutes of your day. I wish I could have mine back.
I can help out, if needed, but it doesn't look like it's needed right now.
Side question since I'm here: How do you intend to handle things like "Spoiler Threads", since we're coming up on the end of void month? You gonna be allowing them here?
Exactly. They say the threat is that the sub will be reopened and then counter the threat by... reopening it?
The sub is getting opened either way. The choice they have to make has nothing to do with whether the sub opens or not, it's about the principle of the protest. They're showing quite clearly that they never cared for that aspect. They just want the "i'ma good mod you guys, honest" rep. Cowards.
First subscriber, go me! I just created a Deltarune community over on the FMHY instance and found this Undertale one just now. If anyone wants to go check that out too, you can find it here: !deltarune@lemmy.fmhy.ml
I'm hype for all the quality Undertale/Deltarune shenanigans we get up to on here!
I'm glad you liked it!

Oh damn, it does. Now we just need it to fly up every time it bounces.

Woooah, okay buddy, enough with the crackpot theories there
The only kind of posting that matters
That's one more than 2. Progress!
Ooo, glad to see more. Welcome to the community. I hope you have a good day/night too!
Yay! Welcome to the best Deltarune gang ever. Population: 2
What I assume is the main contributor to the Lemmy project, Dessalines, has a Mao Zedong banner on their Lemmy profile page. So this checks out.

Excellent! Now even more people will leave it.
