Alt title: Who need they tigussy g-r-r-r-ate??
This is really funny but also I can not get over how much of a larp it is to be acting like you're defending TWITCH from corporate takeover. It is corporate. It is not "our media". It's literally owned by Bezos ffs.
Does remind me when someone made a post a couple months ago about the Boys getting review bombed on Prime and that we needed to counter it because the show runners took some jabs at Reagan.
I am pretty happy to take part in anything like that tbh it costs me like 30seconds of my time. The fascists are 100x better than we are at doing that shit and they make a real impact with it, the online left is seriously fucking lazy and resists any and all change to anything it currently does.
But yeah this is just funny because it's really obvious the execs hate Tony being lewded. Their target audience is moms buying cereal for kids they really don't want him being a sexualised character.
I just can't see how the reviews for Amazon produced cape shit does absolutely anything. Also assume you would need to have a Prime account which is imo pretty gruesome as someone who personally watched Amazon employees limp out of the warehouse on a daily basis (sometimes it was me).
Affects the people inside all the companies that deal with it and has a longterm effect of those companies adopting patterns of behaviour to avoid it (moving rightwards). It's the same thing that mass outrage has always done except the modern internet has made it something that can be performed by groups of people on a daily basis. Previously it was limited to news and breakfast tv.
I imagine most shows pray for some kind of outrage because it spurs engagement. Anything that extends the public's attention span is probably going to make money line go up, not to mention feeding user metrics that if they include politically contentious content people will hate watch just to see what everyone's talking about. People ranting about Morbius is the only reason I watched it.
This is only accurate in content that is already globally everywhere. Content that is not already widely distributed relies upon the reception it has in reviews as it gets sold to other networks and platforms. Either way members of any team are affected negatively by it all and people are negative emotion avoidance machines (excluding social media addiction), the result of negative experiences on one job is carried over into avoiding those negative experiences in the next. All workers experience some kind of personal connection to their work and most of them are personally affected by negativity surrounding the projects they work on.
I think it's more that chud mass online action gets more press and more response. Just like irl actions/protests.
For meaningful online action, shit like blueleaks is 10x whatever the right wing equivalent is. Gamergate I guess? But with that, again see above.
Remember when the US Army made a Twitch and everyone called them a war criminal? Good times. :wholesome:
People actually did that? Knowing gen z, I would assume that they would be praising them for invading Iraq just to steal their oil, or aiding the Saudis in their genocide in Yemen.
Gen Z is by far the most left wing cohort in the US rn. They have some unique brainworms but the idea that they're more reactionary than millenials is right wing cope/false conclusions drawn from the gamergate days.
"we're getting tons of engagement on the new Tony the Vtiger campaign! triple the budget"
Just dump the entire contents of the e621 Tony_the_Tiger tag into chat.
Finally, this is the purpose that this bit account was created for (before it turned into a normal account after like an hour)
Corporate takeover of media? It's fucking Twitch! It is owned by Amazon!
Everyone’s mad at this until they make a sonic official vtubers that goes “YEH! Gotta go fast!” While speedrunning games :no-copyright:
ehh stuff like this is just going to hasten the acceptance of overtly sexual stuff in mainstream advertising we're already 80% there anyway
but I guess it could prevent the fucking 8 year olds on twitch from watching the ads so maybe its a good strat
Non-vtuber corporations should be incinerated for stepping foot in the territory. Do not normalize it, keep it weird.
