It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Say what you will about Hbomberguys long videos, but you can tell he puts in the time to make them entertaining and thought-provoking. Keffals videos are just her talking into a camera with the same monotone voice and occasionally playing clips while responding with, "Wow! That's insane (insert 28 different slurs) ahaha I'm autistic and edgy."

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 50 points 11 months ago (1 children)

From what I understand, the hbomb video was basically a massive evidence dump of people doing plagiarism.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was very well done but there were people complaining about its length and it's a recurring complaint with his videos. I don't really mind the length as long as the effort is put into it and he clearly puts it in.

This video posted is like those ten hour film reviews that are just some guy whining about wokeness in his movie for five times the length of the actual movie.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)

IMO the length isnt the core problem but moreso that he structured the video in a series of segments about specific individual creators, and he doesn't really account for methods of plagiarism that he has already detailed and demonstrated at length.

Which means that since all the plagiarists do basically the same kind of plagiarism, it can very easily be very tiring to have him start going through point by point, line by line, the 3rd creator in a row to have copy pasted text then mildly edited it, rather than him going like "ok, then X repeated the same tactic as before by switching out these words" in a shorter way.

Breadtube: Gets some black creators and has some advocates that it needs to be less fucking white.

Keffals:

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 55 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Black people become present.

White people: The end of times are here.

[–] IceWallowCum@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

They're just projecting what happens when white people become present

Can't these people afford an editor?

She could have been known as the one who beat KiwiFarms, but no, she had to be a jerkass.

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

Tbh I think the same kind of egotism that would drive someone to want to specifically be known as the one person who beat KF is exactly the same kind of egotism that would escalate to this kind of behavior.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

I completely forgot she was the one who did that. It was buried under all the bad takes.

Is this 9 hours of Keffals doing a video essay or is this just a stream with a thumbnail?

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

No one will ever be able to watch enough to find out.

[–] DengistDonnieDarko@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Checked just because of this comment, it's the latter miyazaki-laugh

NINE HOURS!?!?

At that point, why not just go take a walk or start to learn guitar or something?

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is by far the video topic and creator combo that least justifies this length of video.

I literally do not even think this video is legitimately 9 hours, theres some nonsense going on.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago

Keffals farting into a microphone on loop for 8 hours and 50 minutes

is Jessie in the big leagues now? she's just like mostly a star trek creator (but her politics videos are good). it's been fun watching her go from socdem to revolutionary communist

also fuck keffals

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What did keffals do? Out of the loop since the kiwi farms shit.

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago (3 children)

IIRC she went the direction of a funny-clown-hammer-style liberal and keeps punching left at more radical internet personalities.

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

I'm sure that'll work out for her lol

Just did a quick check, it's 9 hours of her streams. The lowest amount of effort possible, just doubling up on the content for them sweet sweet 'Tubebucks.

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

I wonder if there are enough "the fall of Breadtube" -type videos to make a collage like the ones for "china is collapsing".

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 35 points 11 months ago

Every time I've ever been inclined to humor breadtube stuff I just come away thinking: "This was a compelling case for China-style internet censorship of e-celebrities."

[–] Tommasi@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago

I don't usually mind longer video essay, but 9 hours on this non-topic??

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago

How can something die when it never had a significant impact in the first place, aside from making online discussion both less and more shitty at the same time?

[–] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

well, it would deal psychic damage, I'll give you that

These people aren't even those evil tankies she keeps waffling about. F.D. Signifier mainly talks about racism in America from what I can tell, which should be completely uncontroversial for anyone left-of-center and especially not something a white trans woman should take issue with??

Is keffals moving to the right of Vaush?
