Bad opinions expressed in this episode:

Alex - saying True Lies doesn't hold up. The ending stinks (always did) but that movie 100% holds up.

Abby - saying The Beatles are overrated.

Boo to you both, sir and madam.

True Lies stops being a good movie after Bill Paxton stops being in it. It's also far, far too long.

I might be stupid and wrong, but I think this is the most fun movie in the series (up to this point).

It's a toss-up between 5 and 6, for sure. I think most people would place both at the top of the list, even if 5 usually wins out more often.

It is kind of the case, though, that people with anime avatars on Twitter are terrible and embarrassing people.

Hopefully it will also be inclusive of those who don't share the same political views.

Isn't it a little unfair to ask left wing people to be inclusive towards a side of politics whose entire campaign was based on shitting on minority groups? I don't think it's really on the left to try and make peace.

GB is always pretty shy about talking about politics because it can only serve to alienate segments of the audience, though. Also getting too political can make comment sections pretty nasty.

How cringeworthy is this? And why watercooling...just...why.

aesthetic reasons, probably. it's also easier to clean a radiator than an air cooler.

You would not say that if you had to clean a radiator that had the fans in push configuration on them...that is impossible to clean.

After Jeff put the damn MB on the static bag I had to stop watching. This is just to much.

i am talking about pull config, obviously. there's no real advantage to having it in push. i have no idea how they installed it, i haven't watched the video.

I seriously don't know why Dan doesn't think space Call of Duty is cool.

EDIT: How the fuck has Dan never eaten a meat pie? You americans are weird.

Dan has drunk the American kool-aid a little and is a "patriot." He wants to kill the "bad guys" which are regular ass dudes from the middle east, I guess. He's pretty weird about this being really important to him.

For a much clearer, humorous take on this topic, I recommend checking out Anthony Fantano's take on it:

I'll pass on watching the guy with the childish mentality of an edgy 14 year old who has no problem making fun of fat people, so called "SJWs" and feminists just for the sake of it, or rather does it to appease his fans over at /mu/.

This whole notion that 4chan and these memes are "misunderstood" is just ridiculous to me. 4chan is an incredibly racist and sexist message board and it is intrinsic in its culture. There is no "blurred line". Their comments and opinions don't become less racist just because they are used in the context of a meme or a joke.

Their actions speak the loudest and they revel in hate speech and targeting people.

Fat people, so called "SJWs" and feminists aren't above criticism. If we don't call the bad from the good and let them off because we want to be "a good ally" then you have crazies like the Hugh Mungus feminist, those videos of women physically assaulting a cop, then crying "rape" when arrested, or the Trigglypuff girl who rages and is more disruptive than any dumbass MRA I've seen. I think it takes a lot of maturity to be reflective of the actions coming from you own political allies and calling someone "an edgy 14 year old" is mostly a cognitive dissonance tell. Everyone I disagree with must just be "14 year olds" I guess?

Fantano, H3H3, and Jontron are all left politically but they all share a commonality of feeling people on the left have gone so far that you need to call out bad actors, and they do so using comedy.

As for 4chan, it exists to be labeled the worst things possible. So whatever you throw at it will stick. Naughty humors is a tradition in America, whether you agree with it or not, going back to Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. You don't have to like it but calling fans of them "racist" will only make you appear ignorant and easily offended. The important difference to make is when things leave 4chan and to recognize something like pepe means something different to 4chan than it does to somebody who never visits 4chan.

Fantano explicitly cries about all "SJWs" though. He is clearly pandering to the 4chan crowd, which is not a politically left audience. Also there's just nothing humorous about what Fantano does anyway. His commentary channel is so embarrassing, holy shit. He tries so hard.

I'm pretty certain Jontron isn't really politically left, either. H3H3 might be, maybe. All three are pretty brogressive, as far as I can tell.

This comment section is eye opening. With few exceptions, it's striking how intolerant the GB community is and how quickly it resorts to the same vitriol it purports to denounce.

A lot of video game nerdos are generally pretty terrible, unfortunately. It comes with the territory.
