when are we gonna stop using the word “abusive” as a synonym for “just being an asshole”
hate 2 break this 2 yall but the world isnt split up into nice people and abusers. being cruel or manipulative in the absence of an observable pattern of behavior and an established power dynamic isnt abuse. sometimes people are just shitty
I didn’t want to have to make a post about this, but i’m pretty pissed off at the moment.
I’m sure for people who have looked up “Mystery Skulls Animated” they’ve seen this 3 video compilation result that’s very high up in the search results. We have already sent out a copyright strike since last night so i’m hoping that will be the end of it, but if it’s not, please do not give this person who uploaded our videos your views, they have edited out all our credits and the video already has over 500k views which is absolutely stolen views and potential extra revenue for our VERY SMALL production team even though they have not monetize that stolen video. They also had a comment pinned earlier (before changing it) from people who thought they had made our videos. To the person who did this, I know you’ve seen our comments on your video to take it down and are actively ignoring that and gloating about how many new youtube subscribers you got on your twitter page. Putting one link in the description doesn’t absolve you of guilt that you stole our content and that was after people badgered you to do it.
You’re an asshole.
(BTW we do have a playlist made up for the videos so this makes me even angrier.)
Hussie Quote: “Watching the kids figure out ways to hack the game is about as important to the story as watching them figure out how the game itself works in the first place. This is because the story is first about the game and the subversion of the game, and then about the narrative and the subversion of that narrative.”
OP: Wait a second, haven’t you been saying that all along? :O
I hadn’t thought about it as a direct progression from Game to Narrative, but in the sense of the story ultimately being about subverting the story/LE as author? Yeah kinda, which is pretty gratifying. He mentioned platonic idealism directly a couple of times, which was also pretty vindicating.
