    Translating from Ulysses talk: "I've seen people defending X even on Hexbear" usually means "there was a wrecker with a bad take two years ago and now I'm going to make it sound like it's a common thing."

      In the cause of Kurzgesagt, it was not a wrecker; it was someone with an established post history. I just didn't name names.

            Please no, I don’t want my comment to be responsible for starting a struggle sesh or rift

            I hope it doesn't; I'm fine with any struggle session here being restricted to "not a grudge, just an observation :doubt: " grudgeposting because I brought up that sometimes there's bad takes on this site.

            It happens enough that I can just roll with it.

              Either way I didn't intend to dunk, I just genuinely don't see the slop people mention here sometimes. I presume that's because our mods are doing an excellent job.

              Sorry that people took my comment and jumped on it to dogpile.

                It definitely wasn't majority opinion but the "actually Kurzgesagt's videos are okay if you pick out X Y and Z," while not as glaringly absurd back when it was said (there were more pop-sciencey videos that were less ideologically terrible than more recent videos), did rub me the wrong way.

                Sorry that people took my comment and jumped on it to dogpile.

                It's mostly one "just observations, just japing you bro, but THOU HAST SPITE ON THY TONGUE" :very-intelligent: not-a-grudge grudge holder here. The rest was fine.

                  It became pretty clear is was a façade once they started touching social issues, and their thesis was "everything is gonna better"

                  I'm just surprised people feel like they can characterize your posting. I don't remember shit specific users say unless it's either exceptionally based or atrociously bad.

                  I'm glad I rotate accounts every few months or so, even if it means I don't build rapport over time.

          At this point, especially with the grudgeposting I already unintentionally invited into this thread, I'd rather not.

          As I said it's not a call out as much as a "Kurtzgesagt (admittedly, back when there were more sciency videos and less directly ideological videos) sometimes receives excuses and justifications and it isn't confined to :reddit-logo: " warning.
