What a load of waffle. "Appeared to" lift verbatim passages, really?
how much joy some folks seem to be getting watching somebody get taken apart
Generally I would agree. In this specific case the video goes into painful detail into exactly how much the guy's screwed over other people. For profit.
"I don't know, I've no bloody sympathy at all." As long as people don't overstep other boundaries (threats or whatever - edit: the ones he made up obviously don't count) he deserves every last crumb of vitrol headed his way. Pathetic, scamming, ineptly plagiarizing, opportunistic freaking scumbag that he is.
Sounds like a great bunch(!)
Not sure how it relates to "gayness" though.
Relying on karma has a whole slew of issues, especially in something that is already a proper Wretched Hive of toxic bullshit. Look at Reddit, for example.
You're not a true man until you sand it up.
A lot more of a realistic take than this place fixing every issue with Reddit, to be honest.
Thanks bro, very considerate <3
"Fallacy" works. These are also adages, clichés, platitudes and folk wisdom, but neither really means "falsehood" per se. However, many of them just rationalize whatever: the money one is factually incorrect and exemplifies "sour grapes", silver linings is not a bad idea but also not necessarily true, any number of things will not kill you but make you wish they had, etc.
What I mean is the actual article linked to is already months old. Also, that's great, but it's not out of the woods yet.
I'm a coder myself, but.. yeah, it's a definite problem. Of course the feedback can sometimes have its own issues.
People, particularly people with controversial or "edgy" opinions, and especially people with JP-style controversial edginess, tend to hide their opinions behind that exact thing. His fanbase tends to be pretty religious about it and so people who start prattling on about his stuff come off as a red flag. It's a bit like "I'm not racist or anything, but-": you sorta know what's coming.
It's knee-jerk stereotyping, but not exclusively for a poor reason: it's a consequence of a bunch of his fans being cagey. You can obviously quote him or know some quotes without agreeing, but maybe it helps to make it clear. Or just don't refer much to him at all, I guess: anyone who doesn't already know about him can't really profit from learning about his BS.
