Starting point is 00:00:00 Let's talk about Asmond Gold and his takes. Uh-oh. Today, I'm going to provide, in the best of my ability, a fair analysis of Asmond Gold's takes on topics that we overlap now. Yes. For the 0.000000-0-0-0-0-0-0-7% of you, who have never heard this name, I will try to provide a short, brief, but fair introduction to demand before we begin with the analysis of his stakes.
Starting point is 00:00:28 And in order to do that, I'm going to disappear for a moment. Why? Well, because it's not about me, is it. All right, Asmond Gold is a gaming streamer, at least at his original core, who managed to reach impressive notoriety to the point that is one of the most viewed streamers on Twitch. On what category you ask, gaming? Well, he is very popular in dead substrate too, but no. Damn.
Starting point is 00:00:49 In the political commentary sphere. He is, in fact, Twitch number one political commentator. And now, how did this happen, you ask? Well, I think one of the reasons could be the fact that his name is now one of the most searched words on Google search engine above, for example, the NBA, among other things. So I'm sure that that's a contributing factor. That's not all there is to it. And also, I'd like to underline while I'm at it. Since ASMR seems to be number one, I think I should probably open an ASMR channel.
Starting point is 00:01:20 MetaSmart. Yes, but I digress. Let's first and foremost, frame this in the most coherent way, and then we'll go into the 10. So I'll begin by rather than talking about who he is, I want to talk about what Asmond Gold is. And in order to do it, I'm going to give a definition in reverse. So let's retro engineer it. What Asmond Gold is not is a political commentator, regardless of any given success in the space. He's a gamer who comments on politics.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I comment on everything. I give my unsolicited opinion about everything. That's what I do. If something happens on the internet, I'm going to talk about it. It's that simple. He's a gamer who provides commentary on politics usually through the prison of the culture war in relation to gaming specifically. So in most cases there is that connection, a tether if you will. Although these days I've seen him comment on policy and news too from time to time.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Still, once you frame it that way, a gamer who comments on politics, you'll be able to understand how he can be based on certain topics, mostly those relating to common sense within the gaming space, but also at the same time, falls short on other more complex issues. After all, that's to be expected. He clearly doesn't have a background in political science, international economic theory, nor history, so he will lack in those areas when he gives an opinion and people should keep that in mind.
Starting point is 00:02:41 If you're commenting on, say, economic policy, a full grasp, for instance, of the socio-economic underpinning of any given item in discussion would be required to have a complete picture and therefore come to a reasonable conclusion. Yet, in my experience, whenever we talk about Asmon Gold, we talk about...
Starting point is 00:02:57 This, ladies and gentlemen, this is Asmon Gold. So what do I mean by that? Imagine you have a D20 right now and you roll it. Unless it's gaming with which I often agree with his stakes, particularly comes to politics and games, you have to roll your dice, the D20, to represent Asmogold's positions. That's right. That's right. I have a lot of crazy opinions.
Starting point is 00:03:21 That's true. If you get any number from 2 to 10, my reaction to 1. my reaction to what he's saying will be, oh gosh, I don't know. No, I don't think I can agree with that. You roll again and you get between 11 and 19. I will say, you know what? What he just said makes perfect sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 That's right. Absolutely. And we do so many videos, it happens constantly. I agree. Sometimes he rolls a 1. In those cases, I'll go, ooh, oh, no, no, oh no. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm sorry. No. Although then again, to give credit to the man, he usually apologizes publicly for those takes. And at the times, sometimes you roll a 20. When that happens, I say Asmon Gold based.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Somebody has to. Which one we're going to encounter today? Well, they've got a few videos prepared so then we can see which dice we roll. Uh-oh. And what number we get. In fact, just for fun, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to roll. Let's see it. And let's see what we get. Roll the dice. Woohoo. Ooh. Okay, this was not a good take, Asmongold. Next.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Ooh, Asmongol, that was pretty good. Pretty base. Now, for the analysis to be complete, usually when it comes to criticism towards Asmongold, this is twofold. On one side, people say it's a React channel. Yes. And then we can go into the legal and moral analysis of this section. And then on the other side, there is the accusation of Asmongold being a right-wing
Starting point is 00:04:51 grifter. So how about we deconstruct these and I'll share with you. my honest opinion on all of these. So we talk about React channels. I'm going to be honest with you. I occasionally do React videos myself. It's lazy content. It's the easiest type of content that a creator can make.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I personally usually choose to do React videos when I'm busy preparing something more research that requires time and there is a certain level of production value. Those take time. So in the meantime, I'll produce a couple of fillers that are React videos. I try to provide commentary that is interesting, congruent and cohesive, considering the topic at hand, particularly when it comes to history, but at the end of the day. He's right. I mean, obviously, like, editing and putting together an entire video is harder to do than watching a video and reacting to it. I mean, it's objective fact, of course.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Matter how you look at it, React content is lazy. So as Mongol, since his channel is mostly React, compared to channels that do full production and research, is lazy. He still puts... Effective. Effective. Not lazy. effective. It's a lot of work in it because I imagine he's life for a monumental amount of hours. So comparatively, he's lazy. But I think he would accept that, at least for what I understand. He would say, yeah, sure, I'm lazy. Yeah, sure, I'm lazy. Is it compared to other creators? But is it illegal what he's doing? And most importantly, is it immoral? And I would like to respond to this because due to the fact that I've done a little bit of react to myself, I have had those accusations.
Starting point is 00:06:23 From the legal perspective, we need to discuss the fair use disclaimer, which under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, I've got to write in front of me, allowances made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, education, research, scholarship, and, as I said, in general, commentary. So, from a legal perspective, strictly speaking, as long as it provides enough commentary
Starting point is 00:06:48 in order to make his reaction content transformative in nature, he's doing nothing illegal and nor a reference. am I whenever I do a React video. Fair use is a defense legally. So it's not something that you can claim proactively. It's something that you use as a defense in court. My perspective with it has always been like if people don't like reacts, then I won't react to their channel.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Period. Right. I mean, unless they're making, oh, you don't like reacts because you're reacting. Like, you're making a video that's negative about me and like you don't want me to react to it. Well, too fucking dad, right? But other than that, yeah, I would not react to their videos. I do that all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I think that's reasonable. Now let's talk about the moral aspect of this. I like being thorough when I do these examinations as well as fairiespots. Is it morally wrong to produce React content? Usually people that complain about this, I know myself because of the comments I get. Complainers. They say that React channels are content thieves in the sense that someone else with a much smaller channel produced a video. The big React commentator reacts to the video.
Starting point is 00:07:51 they are stealing their spotlight, they are stealing their views. This is never or almost never beneficial to the creator that is being watched. And therefore, this practice is highly immoral. Now, the situation with this, it's a very reductive way to look at this and it's a really case-by-case scenario. But when it comes to the kind of commentary that I provide and also for what I've seen when it comes to Asmond Road... And that's always the perspective that I've had is that like, yeah, I think it's stupid to say that and to like just to place it in like that level of a simplistic viewpoint. But if somebody feels that way, then I wouldn't react to him.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It's that simple. The real question that I think... And also, by the way, I think that you could extend this logic to video games. And I don't really see a lot of people talking about this. But if a person plays a video game, they're probably putting in less effort than a person who made the video game or the entire team of people who made the video game. So in the same way that I think reacting to a video is in a way, you know, like kind of not really, like if you want to say that's not fair use, then neither is playing a video game in terms of effort. For sure they are. Yeah. And also, um, another good component to this too is that when you're playing a video game, you do act as a market replacement for that video game for a lot of people. There are a lot of people who watch a video about a video game and then choose not to buy the video game themselves because they already got their experience through watching somebody else. So I think that really until they want to,
Starting point is 00:09:21 apply that same logic to video games. I don't really take a lot of the criticism about React channels and this type of complaint very seriously, because I think it can be applied a lot more broadly than what they expect. And I think people just don't like React content fundamentally, and they're looking for a reason to talk about it. Publishers can copyright strike you, but they choose not to. Yeah, but they can't copyright strike you for that reason.
Starting point is 00:09:45 And you're talking about the morality of it, not the legality of it. But, you know, you're right technically. That's true. Should ask is, can it ever be beneficial for a smaller channel? And I have the answer. Oh. Let's have a look at this channel, ladies and gentlemen. This channel is called the Background NPC.
Starting point is 00:10:03 What a surprise. And we can see it's a channel with 112,000 subscribers. It's a highly successful channel. Man, how many videos did she have to make in order to be this successful? 300, 500, 11 videos, ladies and gentlemen. How did this happen? Either this lovely lady is a genius of algorithmic intelligence. interpretation and reading within the YouTube ecosphere.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Or we actually see what happened, which is the man himself reacted to one of her videos. When he reacted to her, she had 300 subscribers. When did he react freaking 10 minutes ago? Well, here's a good way to look at it. I've had companies pay me to react to their trailers. Do you guys ever see? Remember whenever the marathon event happened and they paid lyric and shroud and everybody to react to it? if reacting doesn't create value, then you wouldn't have companies paying streamers money to react.
Starting point is 00:10:57 It obviously creates value. That's why they're paying money. Like it's, I mean, there it is, right? I mean, because, like, everybody, like, you're talking about, like, theoretical and, like, all these, like, hypotheticals and everything. But whenever you get down to brass tax, where are people putting their money? If people are paying for reacts, that means that they're valuable. So she went from 300 subscribers to 112,000 subscribers, and deservingly so. She's a lovely content creator.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I think she makes really nice videos, and now she's got a career. So, and what I want to say about this is that we're going to watch, by the way, various videos, we're going to watch this. But I think she's really nice. So you should go and check it out. Not that I have the same level of insulin in any way, shape, or form, of course. But I would like to encourage you because I think she's really nice as a content creator. There she is. And do you think she is going to complain about content theft?
Starting point is 00:11:53 By the so many views did she get in the original video? I don't know. But I don't think she's going to have a problem with that. In fact, I watched her reaction and she was very grateful. So in this case, this happened. You could say, yeah, but does this ever happen? Well, Penguin Zero, 16 million subscribers. His career was ignited because a bigger channel reacted to one of his...
Starting point is 00:12:09 Well, there's a lot of people who like, I've reacted to their videos and it's gotten people to watch them. For sure. Same with streamers. I mean, it's common sense. Of course this happens. videos. Jack Sepsychai, 30 million subscribers. His career was kick-started by a bigger creator that reacted to him. And there are plenty of stories like this. Given if the video in question is a horrible video, even if a big creator reacts to you, you're not going to have success. So of course,
Starting point is 00:12:33 part of this is due to the fact that she produced a good video. And also, as you can see, she's been posting. So she needs to now retain the new subscribe wave. She does have some merit into this. But let's stop pretending that when a big creator reacts to a smaller creator, it's only detrimental to the smaller creator. This is a clear evident and I'm all... It's so obvious that that's not the case. It is. It's so obvious. There's so many points of reference for it. I mean, yeah, of course. About the fact that she absolutely benefited enormous and I'm happy for her.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Look at the views. She gets more views than me and I'm so happy for it. In fact, I'll start watching anything like, you know what? I'm just going to subscribe to her right now. And I suggest you to go and check her out because I think she deserves it. I'm very happy that she got. Look at this. 400,000 views. I have trouble getting 400. I do sometimes, but it's not easy for me to get 400,000 views. She just got one. It's a really big video. That's a phenomenal. About me. Happy for her. Now, let's address the other accusation. Is he a right-wing rifter? Now, this is a situation that is a little difficult for me to express without going into, without getting annoying.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Twitter's not going to like this one. Even though I've expressed millions of times that all I care about is the truth. I am a very moderate individual, political. I'm not a hateful individual. I don't like extremists. Still, whenever I make a video, and if the evidence that I'm providing doesn't confirm biases on either side, people get mad. So when I make a video and it upsets people on the left, they call me right-wing grifter. There are plenty of videos on the tube that call me a right-wing grifter. And then when I make a video that upsets people on the right, they call me woke. So I'm either the- If you're being called woke and a right-wing grifter,
Starting point is 00:14:15 you're making the right calls. Because both of the groups of people that scream that stuff are usually radicalized, disconnected from reality, retards. Wokotron on a Monday and the meta-chad on a Tuesday, which is logically impossible.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Or I think people are getting a little easily offended. What they do is that they use the word grifter to describe that in fact insult, simply someone who disagrees with them. But what about it? Yeah, the idea of grifting is that, well,
Starting point is 00:14:45 is being disingenuous and dishonest. I don't know why people say that about me when I've had a 10-year history of being retarded for free. But you can call me an asshole, you can say I'm bad, but to say I'm doing it, I'm faking it. I mean, I've been method acting this my whole life. That's a lot. Well, first of all, let's divide it. Is he right wing? Now, I know that some of you will say, oh, absolutely, he's right wing. And then there will be people that say, no, he's a lefty. When I read these comments, I know the people that call him right wing are probably lefties, and people that call him left wing are probably right wingers. Man, I like this video a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:24 That's exactly right. 100 fucking percent. Reality is, for what I've seen so far, and as I say, I'm trying to be fair, I think he is very right-leaning when it comes to his positions concerning the culture war within the gaming space. That's what I would say. But I've also heard him say things that no conservative would ever say. So I personally think he stakes a mistake.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Perhaps we could describe in right leaning, but it's definitely not as right wing as a Matt Walsh. I think we can agree with that. But is he a Gryfter? Well, how about we look at the definition of Gryfter, since I like being thorough? Gryph- They hate the dictionary, bro. They hate this. Yeah, this is not, this is it.
Starting point is 00:16:04 They're not gonna like this one. Here we go. Ways of getting money dishonestly that involve tricking someone. Is he getting money dishonestly? No. A Gryftor is a con artist, someone who obtains money by swindling, or tricking others. Is it tricking?
Starting point is 00:16:19 No. Someone who gets money dishonestly but tricking people, I'm going to say no. Now, within the modern political space, they just make this up to say the only reason why people use this word is so they can invalidate
Starting point is 00:16:35 another person's opinion. They're trying to make their opinion seem like it's inauthentic so they don't have to engage with it. That's the reason they create this term. Doesn't always mean fraud because I think this definition does not fit Asmon Gold. I'm trying to be honest here. He's click baity.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Occasionally I'm too, but not fraud. So sometimes in the political space these days, particularly within the culture war, people use it to mean a person of online presence that uses political topics that they know will go viral in order to make a profit. Problem is that in my opinion, and this is just my opinion. What do you think the news does? Do you think the news reports on things that nobody cares about? No, the news isn't reporting about a cat getting stuck in a tree in Wisconsin, and they're reporting about a bomb going off. Because more people care.
Starting point is 00:17:27 This only applies to people that do this, but they don't actually believe and are not being authentic. That's my personal idea of grifting sins. In the original word, at least etymologically speaking, a certain level of trickery has to be present. If you don't believe in it, And you're just making these videos because you know they will make you money in order to pan it to your audience. And then once you get enough money, you forget about your audience.
Starting point is 00:17:50 You go to an island and change name. Then yeah, you're a political grifter. Left or right. But when you do believe in this and he does appear to me at least, he seems to be authentic. So if you're genuine, what you could say, because I know people in my audience, some are right wing, some are left wing. If you are left wing, you can easily say, hey, I disagree with his stakes. Because, yeah, those stakes might be right wing from your position. But calling him a grifter, it's inappropriate, simply because for me, in order to be grifting, the person should be unauthentic.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And that's my opinion. Feel free, of course. You can just look at, like, I made videos about Gamergate 10 years ago. Like, I mean, literally, we're talking about 10 years ago. I mean, I've been going in on this for a while. To agree or disagree. Watch a few videos. The videos that I've prepared today for you that I would like to review when I'm
Starting point is 00:18:43 appear on camera again in three, two, one, Muppet is back. Oh, no, wrong. Muppet is back. No, wrong. Goodness gracious, what is this? Technical difficulties. It's fucked up. There we go, I'm back.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Hey, good to see you. Screaming's hard. So yeah, we're going to review. I want to see his take on Dragon Age Valeguard. Let's see what he has to say about Dragon Age the Veil Guard because maybe he'll get more political about it. That's in some of a very moderate individual. There might be some things when I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:13 if he's stepping up. Let's see. I don't know if he's a fan or a hater. He's just watching. He's just giving his opinion. You don't have to be a fan or a hater. It's not a big deal. Like that's like internet fanboy mentality. It's just watching my videos and talking about it. It's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:19:32 It's in 30 seconds clip. So we're going to go through this one quickly, guys. I will be more than happy to do a call-up, Chris. Absolutely. With Asmond gold, 100%. Oh, boy. And a lot of people that I've given extremely positive and favorable reviews to a game.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Bunch of liars. That has received a tremendous amount of criticism. Yeah, they are. a dragon age, the Vail Guard is a triumphant return to form. Without a doubt a return to form for bioware. Return to form. If you don't know what Dragon Age Orange is, you will not be able to understand the depth. You're getting him mad. ...of the absurdity of this statement. Return to form.
Starting point is 00:20:20 It's insane. Return to form. Return to form. Dragon Age the Vailgard Review. Nine. So... Oh. There's a reason YouTube got rid of dislikes. What is the dislikes be?
Starting point is 00:20:34 40K? Holy shit. That's bad. To give you perspective, the tool that allows you to still see the number of dislikes is not 100% accurate. Correct. He's right. But it does give you so don't take it literal, but it does give... It's not a good ratio
Starting point is 00:20:51 and all the comments are bad. I think that you can come to the conclusion that the video was not very well received. An overall fair analysis from when it comes to the data of the ball range of... It's an estimate. Still, I can see that. I can see that. I forgot to add my dislike. I'll add it later.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I clicked on the video, Muley for the comments section. If you ever feel useless, remember that this channel exists. This isn't a review and sponsored content. That's fucked up. Oh, that was, that's wild. I'd lied better. So he loves it. You clearly find talking about dragons boring.
Starting point is 00:21:32 What? How? Who doesn't like dragons? You're not, you're not ready. I'm not ready either. Let's watch it. pounding that snake's nose she's still holding the ruby in her other hand it was crazy how many videos we made about this game and how bad it was it's actually insane whenever i go back and think about it same with assassin's creed shadows i'm actually almost sad that these games aren't coming out anymore because they were such good content because panties i was so proud oh um ah shit they they're still holding it sorry
Starting point is 00:22:11 What are you doing? Pulling above? Oh, okay. Bad blood among your crews, not good for morale. I remember this. But there's not always time for big, drawn-out apologies. Yep. So when one of us screws up and we know we've screwed up,
Starting point is 00:22:22 we do a quick 10 to put it right. Pulling up. I will say that looking at, she's still hot. Now, like, the narrative on, like, her doing push-ups. I love that. I'm not even talking about the dialogue. She's got nothing to fucking do with the dialogue. I'm not even listening.
Starting point is 00:22:38 It's just stupid. because she missed, you know, she used the wrong pronouns. Yeah, it's really stupid. They didn't nerve her boobs. I think they did. Anyway, yeah, I agree with him. But I would like to say the writers did a disservice to the people that, of course, use the pronouns and whatnot by doing this. Because this is obnoxious.
Starting point is 00:22:59 So the reality is, in my opinion, is that even the writers, they did it because they needed to own the freaking shots. They didn't do it because they wanted to actually support the LGBT. community and all that. Because if you do, you're going to sit down and really think, because this was a catastrophic failure. But let's be honest, people that professionally work into the R&D department or in general marketing, you're telling me that they couldn't foresee that this was going to create a massive backlash because it's cringe? No, I actually think that they're not able to because anybody who brings it up or speaks against it, it's like the emperor's new clothes, but the emperor is in North Korea. And so what ends up happening is that when somebody
Starting point is 00:23:45 speaks up and says, oh, I think this might alienate people and people might not like this, they get called and maligned as a racist or some sort of bad actor or a bad person. And so why would you, as a guy that's working at this company, put your career on the line to, you know, put yourself in the crosshairs of every mentally ill Karen that's working at that company. and then get called into HR for being transphobic because you think that this character wouldn't align with what viewers' expectations are. So that's the reason why.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And it's toxic positivity because nobody can speak out against it or say anything that's problematic about it. It's just that they don't care. So I agree with him, he's right. This is stupid and it's cringe-worthy. But I want to say this. Eisen, you can't just apologize.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Sometimes people say, oops, sorry, and hope that fixes it. But they just want to get that. the whole thing over with. But pulling a bar, you sweat a little. Makes you think about as little more. Shows the other person you mean it. What if they mean it when they say they're sorry though? And that's the other reason. Some people mess up and get all dramatic. They make it about them. Oh, you know, I didn't... That is a projection if I've ever seen one. Writer of this. You just made the entire franchise about yourself. Can we be honest about this? This is the reason why nobody likes them and it's
Starting point is 00:25:11 the reason why these games are dying. Yep. That is exactly what happened. Yeah, he's totally right. That is exactly what happened. I didn't mean it right. I'd never do that on purpose. They feel so bad about it that it's on everyone else to smooth it over and make them feel better.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Oh, oh, okay. Yes, some people might do that. Pulling a bar. Are you sure that them was the right pronoun making them feel better you know? Did you ask? Did she ask or no? But yeah, this is, uh, this is the cringe fest. Novel ones.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Is it a cringe place. I've put it on the person who screwed up. They made the mess. They fix it. Done. I cannot wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be such a good day for me. I'm going to wait.
Starting point is 00:25:52 It was, by the way. We had like 80 or 90,000 people watching the stream. It was such a good day for me. It was an insanely good fucking day. One of the best days, in fact. Wake up early. What's this dialogue? It's not dialogue.
Starting point is 00:26:10 It's a sermon. Yeah. Based. So true. It is absolutely right. 100%. I was expecting by the way he was described, based. It's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It's a sermon. Inductinating sermon, in fact. It is. It's a sermon. Even if you agree with it, you could say it's a sermon. You could agree with it. I know my audience is mixed. Some people in the comments would be like,
Starting point is 00:26:39 no, I'm left leaning. Fine. You agree with it. But it's still a sermon. He's correct. He's right. At this point, someone watches this and says, oh, Asmond Gold is a horrible, toxic individual. I think they're just saying it because they don't like that the guy has a different opinion. That's right. They just don't like the fact that I'm saying something that they disagree with. That's it. That's the only thing. And some of his stakes are clearly left-leaning, not in the culture war. In the culture war, I guess a lot of his stakes would be considered right-leaning. Although, for me, what I've seen...
Starting point is 00:27:12 seen up to this point it was freaking common. I think that people have changed the Overton window so much that a normal point of view is considered right leaning. The reality is that a lot of people are not right wing because they don't want to see neo-pronouns, non-binary, and trans stuff and video games. This is actually the majority of most people. So if you're trying to create a dichotomy between like two different extremes of people and you've created this dichotomy where a average amount of people is fitting into one of those extremes, then you have a bad calibration of where that window is. When most people end up being extreme, then it kind of defeats the idea of something being extreme in the first place.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Insense. It's not even. It's insane. I understand that everything has become political. I can't even say that I like freedom of speech without people calling me a fascist, which is the craziest disconnection from reality that I've ever seen. Because yeah, if being pro freedom of speech makes you a fascist, then you have to explain to me how is it possible that during the fascist regime in Italy, you could not go to Rome and say Mussolini is a moment. Most fascist company or countries do not let you speak out freely
Starting point is 00:28:27 and have freedom of speech. Anybody who says that is a retard. They're just saying that because it's their special word. They're using the special word. because they would have shot you on the spot. When it comes to me, and that's my moderate take when it comes to these things, as long as someone is polite, as long as someone asks me politely, hey, I have this other name, I will use their preferred name.
Starting point is 00:28:58 That's exactly what I've said. Because I use the name Metatron, and you guys are very nice telling me Metatron, calling me Metron. I appreciate it's not my birth name. Fun. Really? And when it comes to preferred pronouns, don't you even try? with the crazy ones like bunny bunny self, demon,
Starting point is 00:29:13 self never gonna happen. I'm never gonna say it even at G-U-N point. Bro, yep. Get this shit out of my life, yep. But when it comes to she or he, the regular pronouns, as long as someone asks me politely, I will do it out of politeness.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Exactly. With that being said. Yeah, because, and this is what a normal person does, by the way. Because the normal person doesn't want to have a confrontation at the in the Target parking lot. A normal person doesn't want to have an altercation at the Verizon store. You know, like, yeah, sure, she?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Okay, yeah, sure, she. Okay, so yeah, ma'am, can I please get the phone now? Like, let's be honest, yeah. You don't want to get in a fight at a game stop. Someone like Dylan Mulvaney, who made a statement publicly said that it is the belief of this creature. that people should go to jail if they don't use the preferred pronoun, then I will not use it on purpose just to show a resistance against people who want to take away my freedom.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Now, if you disagree with that and you want to say, no, I don't want to use any preferred pronoun. That's your freedom. Yeah, you have freedom of speech. Instead, go a more left and you want to say, no, I use all pronouns, everything, bunny, bunny, vampire, self, whatever this game. And you can see, this is the reasonable perspective that. every normal person has, that it's totally okay for you to dictate what you choose to do, but it's problematic whenever you decide and dictate what I need to choose to do.
Starting point is 00:30:55 You can clearly see this difference that he's creating. It's so obvious. Is your freedom as long as the freedom of the individual is not being taken away by a government that shouldn't have any business into what people say unless what they are saying, leads to a crime. That's the only case in which within at least the United States constitution where I live, speech is not protected. Government has no business in my freedom of expression.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Why is that an expert on a concept? You're a nice person. People don't understand it because they don't want to, because they want to tell you what to do. That's why. You're not one of those crazy activists. And you tell me, look, I actually have gender dysphoria, like clinically proven.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And you want me to use your preferred problem. I'll do it because you're being nice. and you're asking me nicely. I look at the person. But if you're one of those who's going to be like, if you don't say it, you'll be canceled, I'll say it to make a stand. I'll use the opposite pronoun in that case.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Honestly, I feel like that was a really fair video. I do. I think that was a super fair video. Like a lot of the stuff that he was talking about, yeah, I think he was very fair. What a good guy. And I think that a lot of people, you know, there's a lot of people that don't really give me a fair shake
Starting point is 00:32:13 because I am, you know, a demon. And some people are not big fans of that. They don't really like that all too much. And so Intentions, Matron's pretty fair. Yeah, and so I was glad to see it. It's really nice. It was very fair. Actually, it was.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And so I do appreciate it. Apsa fucking Lutley. So, yeah, it's a good thing. And there's a video. I've never watched one of his videos. Metatron. Oh, he's almost at a million subscribers. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Oh, we. 983,000. God damn, well, there was 983,001. And yeah, good guy. And I think that, again, you need more reasonable, well-intentioned, normal people out there on the internet. And I think that's it. You truly believe that a demon? There are a lot of people who, this is what they do.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'm not even kidding you. Just a minute. Yep. Oh, in case you didn't get the point, here, let me make it easier to understand. now do you guys see the problem wow uh-oh yeah he's summoning yeah
Starting point is 00:33:32 I learned how to learn how to make those in middle school I'm really good at making nose like I could do that without even thinking and that's a really good star by the way trust me I listen to enough you know like system of a down
Starting point is 00:33:49 and every other like fucking emo metal band and shit like this as a little kid like bro I can make a perfect fucking pentagram and so yeah there you go
