Transcripts

00:00

so today I wasn't even really planning

00:02

on making a video because I was

00:05

researching for my video that I'm making

00:07

tomorrow about why British journalism is

00:10

so uniquely terrible but then because I

00:12

had to go on Twitter for a bit to

00:14

research that topic I came across tweets

00:17

like this talking about the new Star

00:20

Wars Outlaws trailer I think it's called

00:22

the new game from Ubisoft and they're

00:24

all complaining about the new female

00:28

protagonist who apparently today

00:30

is either ugly or looks like a dude and

00:34

this is all done on purpose because of

00:35

woke game devs on purpose trying to make

00:38

protagonists ugly now because I don't

00:42

know it's feminism or a self-insert now

00:45

I don't know how long I'm going to

00:47

actually you know talk for this video

00:49

because it's not really planned that

00:51

well but it's something that's been on

00:53

my mind for a long time and there's a

00:55

word I want to use but I'm not going to

00:57

use because um I want this video to be

00:59

my ized but let's just say the word for

01:03

adult entertainment or adult film and I

01:06

want to call it adult film brain because

01:09

these people view everything through the

01:11

lens of an adult film and if you're

01:14

viewing it through that lens that

01:17

unrealistic lens of these adult film

01:20

actors and actresses who get hired for

01:23

these roles because of their sex appeal

01:26

and looks and that's actually how you

01:27

want all women to look because

01:30

fundamentally you only see women as sex

01:33

objects now this of course isn't

01:35

relegated to any one political side of

01:39

the spectrum but it's pretty clear it's

01:41

way more common on the conservative side

01:43

because all of these things are wrapped

01:45

in that sweet baby Inc hysteria but this

01:49

has been going on for a long long time

01:51

Mo and Abby got revealed for the last of

01:53

us and they were saying Abby was like

01:54

transgender Abby was a dude Abby is ugly

01:58

Abby is a self insert from someone who

02:00

works at naughty dog just so much insane

02:03

[ __ ] and also the ones about aloy and

02:05

Lura Croft are just so bizarre to me

02:09

because these characters are good-look

02:12

like even objectively good-looking I

02:14

would say and they're saying they're

02:16

ugly because that's how much adult films

02:19

can rot your brain and rot how you view

02:22

women combined with just horrible

02:24

misogyny in that you only see women as

02:26

fit for one thing then yes you can see

02:28

how the discourse gets so insane and

02:31

obviously this is on Twitter which is

02:33

basically like forchan on steroids and

02:35

it's a place where all these incels can

02:37

congregate and just say all this like

02:40

horrible [ __ ] about women and it is

02:42

amazing to me as someone you know I'm

02:44

not old but I remember when incel used

02:47

to be like a super Fringe thing it seems

02:49

to be now a big percentage of

02:51

conservatives especially online are

02:54

actually incels because you guys tell me

02:56

in the comments do you think any of the

02:58

people writing the comments you're going

03:00

to see today do you think they have any

03:02

healthy relationships with women if any

03:05

relationship with a woman who isn't

03:08

their mother or potentially like a close

03:11

family member and even then you'd think

03:13

they'd be horrified if they heard their

03:15

close family member talking about women

03:17

like this because if you seriously think

03:20

this new Star Wars character is an

03:22

example of an ugly person then what is

03:25

everyone in your real life going to

03:26

think of you if you go around saying

03:28

that stuff just cannot imagine anyone

03:30

who even just has a like a healthy

03:32

normal social life even complaining

03:35

about [ __ ] like this like I cannot

03:36

imagine it like if one of my friends

03:37

came up to me and said something like

03:39

this I would be like what the hell has

03:41

happened to you you're like the biggest

03:43

weirdo going because who actually thinks

03:45

about women like this and obviously we

03:48

know anonymously online they say this

03:50

stuff but now it's loads of people on

03:51

their Twitter accounts with their full

03:53

names verified so their bank account is

03:55

also linked to that account and they're

03:57

just you know saying this [ __ ] before we

03:59

get into this prop follow me on social

04:00

media at the kavernacle mainly on

04:02

Instagram uh travel and my personal

04:04

Instagram and I don't really use Twitter

04:06

anymore so check out my Freds and blue

04:08

sky accounts and if you want to support

04:10

my work please check out the patreon

04:12

page and through that you can join the

04:14

Discord server so yeah Star Wars Outlaws

04:17

is made by Ubisoft Ubisoft massive

04:20

specifically who make the division and

04:22

made uh the avatar game which was

04:24

surprisingly in my opinion you know

04:26

pretty good even though it was fairly

04:28

like derivative of the Far Cry games

04:30

which I enjoy to some extent uh it had

04:32

like a really nice spin it felt very

04:33

authentic so I for one am super excited

04:36

about this game you know I love Star

04:38

Wars finally because I quit Twitter and

04:40

bought myself an iPad I've actually

04:42

caught up on All Star Wars I'm up to

04:44

date on bad batch I finished tales of

04:46

the Jedi I finished Mandalorian the only

04:49

thing I haven't finished is the anime

04:50

stuff which isn't Cannon anyway and it's

04:53

a bit Hit or Miss but yeah I'm super

04:55

excited for this and if you played an

04:56

alien that was pretty gross I also would

04:59

be super excited for this game because

05:00

it's the first game probably ever that

05:02

allows you to exist in the Star Wars

05:04

World in this way and typically I'm also

05:07

a fan of Assassin's Creed games and

05:09

Ubisoft open world games because of

05:11

their attention to detail with NPCs and

05:13

the environment so I'm hoping they might

05:15

have had some help from the people who

05:16

make Assassin's Creed so yeah really

05:18

excited for this game and if I'm honest

05:20

I'm not too excited about the main

05:22

character I'm excited about that Droid

05:24

with a Commando droid head wearing a

05:25

trench coat in terms of the actual main

05:27

character I'm not really vibing with her

05:29

mainly because she's a bit too I don't

05:31

know from the looks of it too quirky too

05:34

marely I would say in terms of like she

05:36

reminds me of an MCU character with all

05:38

the quips but at the same time I'm

05:40

willing to give her a chance but do you

05:42

know what I didn't care about or notice

05:44

is is what she looked like and if I want

05:46

to give my honest opinion and not that I

05:48

actually care about this but the

05:50

character model is actually an

05:52

attractive woman she's not extremely

05:54

sexualized if you ask someone their

05:56

opinion just your average person is this

05:58

person good-looking they're going to

06:00

tell you that she is good-looking and

06:02

that's because the actress the character

06:04

model is based on is also goodlook and

06:07

that just happens to be the way of the

06:08

world if you are the main character in

06:10

something you are probably goodlook

06:13

because yes our society does care about

06:15

looks But Here Comes the problem right

06:17

you can be very good-look and be you

06:19

know the protagonist of a video game

06:21

think of the actress who play the recent

06:24

lft and think of you know the character

06:26

models in those free games for LOF this

06:29

is like a very very very attractive

06:32

person but at the same time these gamers

06:34

are not even happy about that they want

06:35

the old loft back they want the super

06:38

sexualized Lara Croft wearing a really

06:40

skimpy outfit and then it's not

06:42

surprising you get comments like this so

06:44

someone posting a screenshot and also I

06:46

think this is like edited as well

06:48

because it doesn't actually look like

06:50

anything you see in game or it could be

06:52

from like a pre-order bonus screenshot

06:54

maybe they didn't finalize the character

06:56

design but actually in motion and from

06:59

screen shops from the cuts scene she

07:00

doesn't look like this but again this

07:02

still of them I still don't think looks

07:03

ugly uh this is the main character for

07:05

Star Wars Outlaws can't wait to not play

07:07

it watch it fail I'm sure she looks

07:09

exactly like one of the developers you

07:11

can tell they took a real woman and then

07:13

blend shaped a man on top an ugly girl

07:15

main character there's an original twist

07:18

she looks like the dude from the

07:19

Warriors I mean objectively she doesn't

07:22

sweet baby remember when it flops it

07:24

will be the far right Gamers who hate

07:25

women and hate Star Wars I thought that

07:28

was a dude yep another game I won't buy

07:30

that's a man right needs a beard the

07:32

whole writing team is woke as hell as

07:34

well receipts from another YouTuber

07:38

which is absolutely like hilarious I've

07:40

been thinking about this recently as

07:41

well as I've been watching all the Star

07:43

Wars content like especially the bad

07:46

batch which although might be targeting

07:48

like a bit of a younger audience it's

07:50

like very

07:51

unapologetically left wing in a lot of

07:53

its themes and a lot of Star Wars is

07:56

these days keeping true to the spirit of

07:59

Star Wars so if you're making sci-fi

08:02

which is based on left-wing themes you'd

08:05

think most conservatives would consider

08:06

a lot of those themes woke and I have to

08:09

ask myself what do conservatives

08:11

actually like about Star Wars like

08:13

fundamentally what do they like just the

08:15

lightsaber fights and battles because if

08:17

you delve into the themes of any of the

08:20

Star Wars properties it could be the

08:22

prequels it could be the original

08:24

trilogy it could be obviously Andor

08:27

which is very explicit it could be the

08:29

Mandalorian which has elements to it it

08:31

could be the Clone Wars bad batch and

08:33

Rebels which have a lot of left wi

08:35

themes like what do you like about it

08:37

why do you hate the Empire like why do

08:39

you hate them it seems like you'd agree

08:40

with everything they do including like

08:42

the racial Supremacy and it's funny the

08:44

thing they hate the most is the sequel

08:45

Trilogy which I think for the most part

08:48

is bad politics are both nearly

08:50

non-existent and also pretty ridiculous

08:53

and episode 9 is one of the worst movies

08:55

I've ever seen but they hate all of

08:56

those ones but don't hate something like

08:58

Andor which is like explicitly very very

09:01

like woke and leftwing just a small

09:04

tangent I just don't understand it

09:05

recently please let me know in the

09:06

comments what do you think conservatives

09:08

love about Star Wars so much so this guy

09:10

popped up in a video the other day gums

09:12

who was a failed game developer and

09:14

again he was tweeting me when I tweeted

09:17

once that cyber Punk was anti-

09:19

capitalist telling me it wasn't it's

09:20

actually

09:21

anti-woke um it's always the jawline no

09:24

reason to give every woman in AAA games

09:27

a male jaw so why they do it and

09:30

thankfully like a lot of people even the

09:31

blue check marks um were clowning on

09:34

this guy but at the same time loads of

09:36

people saying it's activists projecting

09:38

their insecurities onto the rest of us

09:40

and before someone objects this would

09:42

not be an issue if it was something that

09:44

just happened every once in a while

09:46

right now it's like they're coming off

09:48

an assembly line freaks hate female

09:50

Beauty and on the Geeks and Gamers

09:52

09:54

keep in mind when I'm reading some more

10:01

of these comments what do you think

10:03

these people's interactions with women

10:05

look like in real life and that's why I

10:07

say the incel subculture has just become

10:09

like normal conservatism because these

10:11

are the same people who will blame

10:13

feminism for not getting dates and this

10:16

is how they talk about women who don't

10:18

look like adult film stars completely

10:20

like making up a scenario what are you

10:22

playing it's a game about a Smuggler in

10:23

in a Star Wars Universe where you fight

10:25

gangsters and cultist with your Droid

10:26

companion and a small animal that

10:28

follows complex instructions why is your

10:30

character so ugly to be more realistic

10:33

really disgusts me we play games to

10:36

escape from reality not be reminded of

10:39

how ugly it is reminds me of Disney Live

10:42

actions too when they do too much

10:44

realism it takes the way the magic

10:46

someone better destroy sweet baby ink

10:48

and their delusional wannabe Rebels I

10:50

play video games to entertainment I find

10:52

it entertaining when I'm playing as a

10:54

cool character if I'm playing as a guy I

10:56

want him to be handsome cool beef cake

10:58

if I'm playing as a I want her to be

11:00

beautiful cool woman with curves and a

11:01

thin waist maybe even booer does that

11:04

make me a bad guy I think it comes down

11:06

to the psychology of wanting to identify

11:08

a character or wanting to emulate that

11:10

character I'm by no means an ugly person

11:13

but I could use some work so when I'm

11:15

going to spend a couple hours role

11:17

playing in a fantasy simulation I want

11:19

my avatar to be cool and it turns out

11:21

being in shape and genetically gifted

11:23

with good looks is cool I mean like this

11:25

comment speaks a lot of their own

11:26

insecurity I never played Halo and

11:28

fought man master Chief would be more

11:29

relatable if he was my height took

11:31

anxiety meds and had a hard time

11:33

fostering interpersonal relationships so

11:36

again like I said think about these

11:38

people's own personal situations and

11:39

that wasn't like the worst comment but I

11:41

think it highlights a lot of issues of

11:43

like I don't want to see myself in this

11:45

game because I don't like myself and I

11:47

think that's interesting as well because

11:49

I don't know about you when I create a

11:51

character in a game I pretty much create

11:54

someone who looks like me and I'm pretty

11:56

sure a lot of people do this so V and

11:58

cyber Punk my male v I made him so he

12:01

looks like me because I'm playing a role

12:04

playing game and I want to project

12:05

myself onto the story and I actually

12:08

like myself thinking about v through my

12:11

own like personal like politics

12:13

perspective that's something that works

12:15

of me and I was actually going to make

12:16

myself a Dragon's Dogma as well the

12:18

version I made of me didn't look like me

12:20

and then I saw some like really cool

12:22

geralt tutorials so I switched it up for

12:24

geralt instead because I love The

12:26

Witcher so much I just don't understand

12:28

how it breaks the fantasy to not play as

12:30

someone super objectified so you'll see

12:32

them recently talking about how great

12:34

Stella blade is because that main

12:36

character is super sexualized and you

12:38

know very prominently displays her boobs

12:40

and her bum and stuff and when I'm

12:43

playing The Last of Us with the

12:45

characters who they think are ugly and

12:47

you know they hate for being ugly like

12:49

Ellie and Abby who in my opinion aren't

12:51

ugly anyway but if we're just going to

12:52

talk about them being maybe less

12:54

conventionally sexualized characters in

12:57

a game how does playing as these two

12:59

characters take you out of the reality

13:01

I'm in the reality I'm going along with

13:03

their story because those games are so

13:05

well crafted with great characters and

13:07

great world building so that's what puts

13:09

me in that reality them looking more

13:12

like regular people doesn't suddenly

13:15

make me think this game is reflecting my

13:18

reality specifically and I've made whole

13:20

videos about how it does reflect our

13:21

reality in some ways in terms of like

13:24

certain conflicts and stuff this mindset

13:26

is something I just will never

13:27

understand I will role play as myself in

13:31

a game like cyber Punk and I'll happily

13:33

play a game like Horizon where I'll get

13:35

into the mindset of aloy and I think a

13:38

lot of these people fundamentally don't

13:40

want to play as female characters in

13:41

games unless they're sexualized because

13:43

they're not actually interested in

13:44

female perspectives for anything like

13:46

they don't actually care about female

13:48

characters they like to run out oh I

13:50

care about Ripley from Aliens that's

13:51

pretty much the only one but because

13:53

aloy's story pretty much has zero to do

13:56

with romance or her being a sexual

13:59

object for the most part they hate her

14:02

and don't want to play as her and in

14:03

terms of the men they always want to be

14:06

these men right because they don't like

14:07

themselves a lot of them so even with

14:09

someone like AR Morgan who's very

14:11

weathered again looks like your average

14:13

Joe they'll defend that and say well

14:15

he's like an action hero isn't he's a

14:17

cowboy he's good at fighting so I do

14:19

like that but what if women turned

14:20

around and said actually I want all male

14:22

characters to look like Timothy Shalom

14:24

like be that small and be that skinny

14:26

and if like female Leed Studios started

14:28

doing that they would complain about

14:30

wokeness as well even if they use the

14:32

same logic like oh I just want to be

14:33

attracted to the main character AR for

14:35

Morgan's not attractive when I play a

14:37

video game where the male is the lead I

14:39

want to play as someone who's personally

14:40

attractive to me so that would be

14:42

someone who looks like Timothy shalomay

14:44

and not someone weathered and old like

14:47

artha Morgan fundamentally all of this

14:49

just stems from hating women and again

14:51

seeing them as solely sexual objects and

14:54

why it's adult film brain is like why

14:56

are you complaining about this in a

14:59

piece of media like why when you're on

15:02

the internet adult films are so

15:03

accessible if you want to go jerk off to

15:05

adult films go watch adult films why

15:08

does everything have to be catered to

15:10

your horniness in media but that's what

15:13

I'm saying as well is that because it's

15:16

everywhere that's what loads of people

15:18

think is a normal woman or what women

15:20

should actually look like and that's why

15:22

I'm calling an adult film brain in some

15:24

ways I feel bad for younger men now

15:27

because it's everywhere it's not just

15:29

something you have to search up on your

15:31

computer in secret when you're a

15:33

teenager it's l like on Twitter I

15:35

tweeted about this in terms of why I

15:36

quit like sometimes when I'd search just

15:39

for like a football goal to watch the

15:41

highlights I'd get so much adult content

15:44

just right in my face straight away it

15:45

literally is just so close to you seeing

15:48

it all the time so in that way it

15:50

probably contributes to adult film brain

15:53

because it is literally everywhere on

15:55

the internet but at the same time to

15:57

actually take that and maybe even take

15:59

some addiction you might have to that

16:01

and think the whole of society including

16:03

your video games has to cater to your

16:05

adult film brain is just so insane and

16:09

let's keep it real as well a lot of

16:11

these people won't be absolute physical

16:13

specimens themselves as one of those

16:15

comments nicely outlined for us they're

16:17

not and they're not exactly comfortable

16:19

with playing a character who's like them

16:22

because they don't like themselves if

16:23

it's a male character they have to be

16:25

like this badass hero if it's a female

16:27

character they simply have have to be a

16:30

sexual object so yeah maybe a quicker

16:32

one I don't know how long is this

16:33

actually going to be uh let me know what

16:35

you guys think down in the comments and

16:36

if you made it this far thank you for

16:38

watching
