Answer: they're a comic strip that in a ways is very similar to the recently banned frenworld subreddit. For many of his strips they are pretty normal and could even be somewhat enjoyable. Then you have a few strips that have some very subtle messages relating to racism and anti-antifa posting. Finally there are some where they kind of forget subtlety and are full blown racist, antisemitic, or any other bigoted messages. Theres also evidence they formerly went by RedPanels which was somehow even more racist than he was now. Dude is a pretty massive PoS.

What’s the deal with StoneToss?

I’ve seen a few of their comics on this site. Within the comments people claim the creator is a nazi, bigot, etc. Can someone explain the back story? ___ [Example 1](https://reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/c88voe/rsuicidebymemes_stonetoss_the_guy_who_openly/) [Example 2](https://reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/cca2xd/the_andy_ngo_experience/) [Example 3](https://reddit.com/r/bonehurtingjuice/comments/c62iqv/oof_ouch_owie_my_alexa/)

Answer: looll it’s just this story a BTS fan made on twitter. It’s called an AU story (Alternate Universe). It’s an interactive horror story made through a twitter thread about a Dora account threatening to kill and posses ppl that come in her way. It’s actually the sequel made from the original story. The story uses the BTS members who tweet from fake twitter accounts and are in a group chat called “Anime Boys” and they’re trying to figure out who is in control of the Dora account. It’s really fun to follow because it’s an interactive story, which means that readers get to decide the choices of the main characters through twitter’s poll option with a time limit. Each choice made by the readers will have a different result. It’s just a fun and harmless story that thousands of fans are following so that’s why #HarvestDay is trending on twitter. Because the story has been counting down everyday and today is the pinnacle moment for the story so we’re all hyped tweeting memes and theories and stuff :)

What's up with this 'harvest day', anyways?

Apparently, the hashtag "#harvestday" is trending worldwide on Twitter and it all just seems so confusing. Apparently people are talking about people sacrificing themselves to Dora the Explorer, and some stuff about BTS members being possessed, [locals](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Locals) (Stan Twitter term for bland/average people who like mainstream things) and "anime men"? If anyone could explain, that would be nice. Thanks! Examples: https://twitter.com/itstataverse/status/1149780612766752774 (talking about 'anime men' and Dora) https://twitter.com/filmfics/status/1149784299039858689 (Apparently this is trending worldwide? It isn't on my Twitter trends, though.) https://twitter.com/itstataverse/status/1149786155048669184 (Also talking about 'anime men', apparently about them being killed?) https://twitter.com/hcnyoon/status/1149785993068855296 (talking about Namjoon [Member of the boy band BTS] getting possessed)

Answer: think about standing on a plank of wood that is extended off of a ledge. As it slowly breaks you can hear tension and popping, until it finally gives and breaks entirely. Plate tectonics can emulate this sort of tension; two plates create friction, and as one starts to give it sends off little pulses, just like there is in the wood plank. That would be the first quake; the plank can then crack again or just break off completely, the same happens with a tectonic plate. Granted, the vibrations in a wood plank are much smaller and not really felt, but tectonic plates rest on liquid magma, and are as big as continents, so they’re vibrations are much larger and slower than what travels through a plank of wood.

What's up with people saying that another earthquake is imminent after two in California this past week already?

I heard a few news reports that people are predicting that a much bigger earthquake will happen in california due the ones that happened last week. Is this true? If it is, why? What caused these last two and why are they "proof" that a much worse one will happen? https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/us/california-state-wide-earthquake-alert/index.html https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-huge-earthquake-forecast-southern-california-20190705-story.html

Answer: No hit does not mean not hit. No hit means the pitchers of one team successfully prevented the opposing team from getting on base with a hit.

Answer: Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs passed away on July 1st in his hotel room during a road trip. Last night was the team's first home game since his sudden death. To honor him they all wore his jersey with his name and number on the back and had a ceremony pregame with his family there. His mother even threw out the first pitch before the game. The 2 Angels pitchers combined to "no-hit" the visiting Mariners team and won 13-0. This means the Mariners didn't get a single hit in the entire game. 28 batters came up and the only one that got on base was due to a walk, not a hit. It's hard to do especially when using more than one pitcher in the game. To do this with heavy hearts while during the game honoring him was truly special and is a moment no baseball fan will forget. After the game they took their jerseys off and put them on the mound next to the big 45 etched in the dirt.

Answer: (sort of) I was interested in this as i am also a fan of her ST performance. A bit of Googling reveals little info though. It honestly seems like someone tweeted a few hateful comments for no particular reason, and then their followers picked it up and its gone a bit viral. Given theres no tangible reason for the 'hate' I think perhaps it's simply an example of people with nothing better to do jumping into the latest controversy bandwagon. Perhaps too much of one point of view (support of mbb) triggers some people to feel like the alternative view needs voicing. I'd be very interested in better answers.

What’s up with the ‘hate’ on Millie Bobby Brown?

I love Stranger Things, and I think she, like all of the cast, does a fantastic job. I've watched some of her interviews and she seems nice and friendly, just like the other cast members. I understand she's had issues with being bullied and apparently her parents take advantage of her? But that only make's me feel bad for her, not hate her... So if someone could explain this to me cause I'm most certainly out of the loop on this one, that or the few threads and articles I've seen criticizing MBB are actually just a loud minority. ​ There are [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/88xs6n/millie_bobby_brown_is_the_most_annoying/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) threads about how people ‘hate’ her, and there are YT videos, even [articles](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/millie-bobby-brown-twitter-deleted-anti-gay-meme-homophobic-stranger-things-a8398101.html) talking about how she wasa turned into an ‘anti-gay’ meme, though I very much assume that last is an extreme. But it all seems very extreme to me, to be honest. I mean she’s a 15 year old kid... Thank you in advance! Edit: if you want to post a comment it needs to be in the form of "anwser:" or "question:" otherwise it won't show up on the thread, I've been seeing a lot of notifications but not the comments. Also thanks again for all the answers and discussions!

Answer: MBB has been an advocate for LGBTQ rights and certain people from that community started photoshopping horrible Twitter posts attributed to her because it was ironically funny; she would be the last person to write such things. Other idiots started taking up the meme structure without having that irony in mind and it just spiraled out of control from there.

Answer: I just think it's jealous kids her age. Last year, there were a bunch of compilation videos doing the rounds on YouTube titled things like "Millie Bobby Brown being rude for five minutes straight" and "Why I hate Millie Bobby Brown." The videos just included things like her butting in when her castmates were speaking, which all of them do since they're kids. It always happens with child actors, recently to the actress who played Morgan in Avengers: Endgame.

Answer: At least some of the hate for her seems to come for her talk show appearances where she comes across quite unlikeable. https://youtu.be/c_MpvVeku0c This video is a little compilation of what I'm talking about. As for the meme about her the joke was how ridiculous it would be for a sweet kid who is an advocate for lgbtq+ to be saying all this awful stuff so casually and it sucks that it was her these people chose to use for the joke but I don't think there's any actual hate from people to her for that. EDIT: The video linked is very misleading and has clear angle to make Milly Bobby Brown is a bad person

Answer: Most of the answers here are correct, however, a couple days ago I saw a post on Reddit where a crew lighting from Stranger Things confessed that she is unbearable to work with. Claiming that she is pretentious, knows how famous she is, ignorant, and does not treat people right \*don't quote me on this\*. [https://www.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/brk6zn/millie\_bobby\_brown\_says\_she\_switched\_schools/eofnwvy?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x](https://www.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/brk6zn/millie_bobby_brown_says_she_switched_schools/eofnwvy?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) \*Found the source\* Another popular theory is that her parents are new to the entertainment industry and some says that they are "prostituting" MBB into the Hollywood. This isn't a far stretched idea since her family sold everything to support her career. AFAIK, her family is leeching off of her for meal tickets basically.. One last thing is that MBB is a kid who is a now a teenager growing up in Hollywood, there is a huge pressure on her to be a "perfect role model". I think that might have explain her behaviors where people claim that she is loud, trying too hard, or cutting off her cast-mates during interviews.

Answer: She defended her relationship with Drake, which made it even more obvious that he is grooming her. Then got super defensive when literally everyone told her he’s a pedophile and is just using her. It’s an ugly situation and I wish authorities had stepped in.

Answer: (I guess?) I personally feel like that there was some negativity (not unjustified hate) towards her for the way she acted, like sometime talking over people and stuff like that. But in recent interviews she's been better at stuff and I feel like she matured a bit. It's probably just trolls who got nothing better to do other than hate on a 15yr old actress who does a phenomenal job at portraying her characters

Answer: She's very full of herself, even by celebrity standards. A lot of people don't appreciate a rich kid lecturing them on how to live and act because the kid thinks she is an authority on such matters. It has nothing to do with the subject matter, that kind of attitude is just going to earn you a lot of scorn.

So if someone could explain this to me cause I'm most certainly out of the loop on this one, that or the few threads and articles I've seen criticizing MBB are actually just a loud minority. ​ There are [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/88xs6n/millie_bobby_brown_is_the_most_annoying/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) threads about how people ‘hate’ her, and there are YT videos, even [articles](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/millie-bobby-brown-twitter-deleted-anti-gay-meme-homophobic-stranger-things-a8398101.html) talking about how she wasa turned into an ‘anti-gay’ meme, though I very much assume that last is an extreme. But it all seems very extreme to me, to be honest. I mean she’s a 15 year old kid... Thank you in advance! Edit: if you want to post a comment it needs to be in the form of "anwser:" or "question:" otherwise it won't show up on the thread, I've been seeing a lot of notifications but not the comments.

Answer: There are videos on YouTube with her in interviews with the rest of the ST cast pretty much interrupting them and trying to make herself the centre of attention despite not being involved in the conversation. I don’t think this is a fair reason for the colossal hate she gets. And of course there was the obvious ‘#TakeDownMillyBobbyBrown’ thing that was just a load of unfair hate for something she never did.

Answer: people find her annoying as she seems to act older then her age anf she thinks shes more mature than others her age...... as most 15 year olds do. I dont think the hate is justified and people should leave her alone. We were all annoying at 15 there just weren't cameras there. Honestly this might be an unpopular opinion but i really dont think it is because of the lgbt thing as most people who cared in the first place now know she didn't day those things. I think people just dont want to be a dick and say its cos shes annoying. Id hate my 15 yo self if i met her.

Answer: It's very common for influencers to make comments on some of their content which then catches flak for being offensive or wrong etc, so when theyre given shit online for it, rather than delete their comments /videos, they'll make an apology video which tends to be them crying (crocodile tears), and they monetize their apology video (hence the ads placed throughout the video in the picture above). This has become so common amongst influencers that it's been satirized

Answer: A lot of this boils down to the heated exchanges between progressive Democrats like AOC and the mainstream, old guard Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. The progressives have been getting anxious and angry at the fact that Pelosi and the others have yet to make a move against President Donald Trump, something many progressives have campaigned for. Pelosi, for her part, has been trying to keep everyone in line, intending on just using checks and balances to keep Trump in line and try to let voters decide on Trump. The arguments have gotten so bad that even Trump is telling the progressives to lay off Pelosi. The fight with staffers comes from one of AOC’s staffers criticizing and being told to lay off.

What's going on with these memes about Nestlé being evil?

I've been seeing plenty of posts like [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/ccremw/lucifer_intensifies/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), in which Nestlé is referenced as an evil company. I know that they are fucky as hell, but what did they do now?

2019-07-14 02:43:04

Answer: In a documentary in 2005 the now former CEO of Nestle Peter Brabeck-Letmanthe said >Water is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It’s a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value. Personally, I believe it’s better to give a foodstuff a value so that we’re all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water, and there are many different possibilities there.” When asked about UN policy on water as a human right. Usually parts of this get taken out of context and it sounds worse. This pops up in conspiracy theory/lefty political memes every few years despite not being that really weird of an opinion. Like this quote is just capitalism 101 if you are a capitalist you should pretty much believe this and if you aren't you shouldn't be shocked by a powerful CEO talking like this.

Answer: I don't know a lot about it, but I did hear that nestle had a campaign in some third world country, that convinced the locals that their tinned baby formula was better than breast milk. The locals bought it and made the switch, but because of the poverty there the people were diluting the formula more than it should've been to save money, which lead to their babies developing issues due to malnourishment.

Answer: The talk show format had been set in stone since Steve Allen did it in the mid-50s: Opening monolog followed by maybe a bit more banter at the desk. First guest, second guest and then either a stand-up or a music guest and good night folks, you've been a wonderful crowd! Conan had been following that format for the last 25 years of his life and just thought a) it was old and b) everyone else (the Jimmys, Seth, etc.) was offering up the same thing as well. So, he decided to pare it back to a half hour and only have the one guest. He also ditched the suit and the desk so they just sit in early chairs and chat. Besides that he just likes to play around a lot. For instance earlier this week his guest couldn't make it so instead of postponing the show he just messed around for a bit before [interviewed his assistant.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-NFd4meW3Y)

Anyone care to explain? Maybe catering more towards an online audience? Budget constraints? Thinking about that because they don't have a band anymore.

Answer: People claim it's a rehash of a T2 script with an SJW twist on it in order to pander to the "woke" audience. Trailer shows that the story and characters are nearly identical with genders reversed and that Linda Hamilton's, Arnold Schwarzenegger's and James Cameron's names are included just for nostalgia factor so they can draw in people who liked first two movies. People also dislike new villain who looks "soyboyish" when compared to Robert Patrick's T-1000. Basically, it's the same old problem of virtue signaling in TV shows/movies that people had with dozen other titles (other recent example, Batwoman trailer). EDIT: Batwoman from Batgirl. EDIT 2: Dully note, I didn't share my personal sentiment when writing this comment.

Answer: R. Alexander Acosta is the now recently former Labor Secretary and former U.S. Attorney in Florida. Meaning he was the highest ranking federal prosecutor in the state of Florida, working and representative the federal government in court. (Think Chuck Rhodes in Billions if you are familiar with that show) As U.S. Attorney he was the prosecutor that signed off on the non-prosecution agreement for Jeffrey Epstein. Saying that his office was "out lawyered by Epstein's legal team" Epstein's legal team at the time was made up of some known people. Most notably **Alan Dershowitz**, a former Harvard Law Professor, former OJ Simpson defense attorney and a cable news pundit and **Kenneth Starr**, former federal judge, U.S. Solicitor general and Independent Counsel during the Clinton Administration What is a non-prosecution agreement? > A contractual arrangement between a US government agency (such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)) and a company or an individual facing a criminal or civil investigation. Under an NPA, the agency refrains from filing charges to allow the company to demonstrate its good conduct. In exchange, NPAs, similar to deferred prosecution agreements, generally require the company or individual to agree to >* Pay a fine. >* Waive the statute of limitations. >* Cooperate with the government. >* Admit the relevant facts. >* Enter into compliance and remediation commitments, potentially including a corporate compliance monitor. >NPAs are not filed with and do not involve review by a court. An NPA is not made public unless the prosecutors seek to publicize their investigation results or the company or individual must disclose the agreement. NPAs for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA)-related offenses are publicly available on the DOJ's website. >If the company or individual complies with the terms of the NPA, the agency will not file criminal or civil charges. If the company or individual breaches the NPA, the prosecutors can restart the case and use the company or individual's admissions in subsequent proceedings. Alexander Acosta is the person that approved of the NPA with Epstein and on September 24, 2007, Epstein and the DOJ Office in FL formally reached an agreement whereby the United States would defer federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida. Epstein and the DOJ Office in FL accordingly entered into a NPA reflecting such an agreement > “the United States, in consultation with and subject to the good faith approval of Epstein’s counsel, shall select an attorney representative for [the victims], who shall be paid for by Epstein.” The NPA also provided that if any of the victims elected to bring a civil suit for damages under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, they must agree to waive any other claim for damages. As part of the NPA, Epstein would not contest the jurisdiction of the United States District Court and waived his right to contest liability and damages in these cases The NPA also expanded immunity to any "potential co-conspirator" of Epstein saying: >“In consideration of Epstein’s agreement to plead guilty and to provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential coconspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova.” Which given some reporting or at least rumors could have implied that people such as Donald Trump or Alan Dershowitz would be immune from prosecution should they have also committed crimes with Epstein. The NPA also stated that this agreement would not be made part of the public record and should it be requested by a FOIA they would provide notice to Epstein before making that NPA disclosure to the person requesting it via FOIA. Acosta's office also did not consult with the victims of Epstein about this deal they were giving him Acosta said that "Simply put, the Palm Beach state's attorney office was read to let Epstein walk free, no jail time, nothing." Sugguesting that the Florida Attorney General, a state government person was going to let Epstein walk free with nothing. Implying that Acosta's actions were better than the possible nothing the state would have done. Arguing the prosecuting the charges against Epstein would have been better suited for the state rather than the federal government. However given the complexity and scale of the case at the time with victim count being 20-40 people the federal government was better suited for bringing this case to trial than the state AG's office. Couple that with the idea that Epstein could afford the best attorneys in the world to defend himself, the idea of defending yourself against the Federal government with nearly limitless amounts of money and recourses for complex cases compared to the State of Florida it benefitted Epstein at the time that the Federal Govt not prosecute him. He basically stood a better change if Florida brought charges against him on a stat level, all things considered Epstein is sentenced to 18 months in jail and a year of house arrest and must register as a sex offender twice a year in Florida for the crimes of: >soliciting prostitution and procuring a person younger than 18 for prostitution Now jail isn't prison and jail for somebody as connect as Epstein isn't exactly jail either. >Epstein was sentenced to 18 months – an outrageous sentence matched by the outrageous accommodations afforded the newly convicted sex offender. Instead of state prison, Epstein was allowed to spend 13 months in the Palm Beach County stockade, and in a special wing away from the rabble. He was allowed to spend 12 hours a day, six days a week, entertaining visitors at his nicely appointed office in downtown West Palm Beach under a “work-release” program. This month the Southern District of New York, which is the district that covers Manhattan and and other parts New York City arrested and indicted Epstein. Now the SDNY is probably the most famous federal prosecution district in the nation. It covers Wall Street and all the wealth that is here, it's prosecuted mobsters, terrorists, celebrities, etc. Now Epstein was arrested and has pleaded not guilty but they are still holding him until they decide if he should be released until his trial or held until then, given his money and means he is a flight risk. Donald Trump factors into all this in a few ways. Trump and Epstein ran in similar circles, Trump flew on Epstein's jet in the past which was used to move girls around so its rumored that perhaps Trump also partaked in the crimes but that remains to be seen. As President, Trump has the full authority to pardon Epstein for any federal crimes he is found guilty of as well.

What's the deal with this pink-retro-3D-video-game aesthetic I keep running into across Youtube?

I keep seeing this show up on random youtube videos. Does anyone know where it comes from or what’s being referenced here? https://imgur.com/a/jLN4RAH

2019-07-14 12:25:22

Answer: I have been into Synthwave and Outrun subculture since 2013, so I will give a detailed answer based on my experiences in it, if I wrote any mistakes, then be sure to correct me! This visual aesthetic does not has a single consistent name, but "Outrun", "Retrowave", and "Retro Neon" are the names that I most see being used around to refer to it, all of its purpose initially begun in the late 2000s and early 2010s simply as a nostalgic tribute to 80s movies, music, and video games, so there is nothing deep about it in that sense, people made an exaggerated and satirical love letter to the 80s just because 80s media looked more cooler, creative, and colorful than today's, and it's pretty common to romanticize the past in this era. It became extremely popular very quickly after 2016 because of various critically acclaimed 80s-themed video games, shows, and movies from the 2010s such as [Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dofacvjRkc) (2013), [Hotline Miami](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBut7nbI6NA) (2012), [Kung Fury](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg) (2015), [Drive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHVbbcHWX4k) (2011), [Regular Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl4pKvPdc4Y) (2010), and above all [Stranger Things](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3wGYbq6_Mc) (2016) that is a massive hit from Netflix and was the thing that literally brought Synthwave and Outrun to the mainstream altogether. People born in the 1970s and 1980s (who thus grew up in the 80s and early 90s) are a new generation of film directors, musicians, artists, and video game developers, so they will tend to either put a few nostalgic memories of their childhood on the projects that they create, or just make a full blown 80s-themed project altogether in the case of Blood Dragon and Kung Fury. Due to its rising popularity, more and more of these retro games and movies still keep coming, especially the long-awaited [Cyberpunk 2077 game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjxS9ciNlII) that will release in early 2020, it will make this fad even bigger than it is now. However, as Outrun became mainstream recently, in the majority of the time these aesthetics have nothing to do with the 80s at all, as people just started indiscriminately using it because it looks cool, mix that with ultra famous YouTubers, Streamers, influencers, websites, meme pages, and celebrities starting to use it, and then their millions of fans started using these Retro 80s aesthetics in a snowball effect. I once told a friend who always uses these Synthwave backgrounds and photos everywhere on his profile about some Synthwave musicians he might not be aware of, and he replied to me that he had no idea what Synthwave or Outrun meant, and just used them because he sees on a lot of YouTubers he watches with it, basically it's the current fad cause it looks dope. Since I am an Outrun fan for a long time, I have mixed opinions on it becoming popular, on the plus side, it is great that it became a success, as we have more people interested on it, and as a result more movies, games, and music came out. On the bad side I feel that a large portion of Synthwave lost its purpose and became repetitive and sometimes just plain dumb as hell, I am sick of seeing these "pink laser grids on a purple background" thumbnails and people **T Y P I N G 美的 L I K E T H I S** everywhere, this is not the only 80s retro thing in existance, around 2014 there were lots of different variations on Outrun art and music, but people for some reason just use this single one now. As Synthwave appears in more movies, and more musicians start to become interested in it, Synthwave has also now started to add in modern musical additions, like trap beats, rap vocals, electronic techno/nightclub party influences, and cheap music made on free computer programs, making it sound absolutely nothing like 80s music, it is slowly just evolving into another electronic music fad without an identity of its own, although I don't want to gatekeep what is true Synthwave and what isn't, as we still hopefully have a lot of great Synthwave musicians, movies, and games coming out! **TL;DR** 1. This retro subculture/fad originally begun in the early 2010s as a tribute to 80s media. 2. Recently, various 80s-themed video games, musical albums, movies, and TV shows were released, and they were massive commercial and critical successes. 3. 80s retro synthwave became mainstream, YouTubers, Streamers, and celebrities started using it. 4. And finally, their fans started using it as well everywhere, because it looks cool. Edit: Cheers for the first gold! I had no idea that people would appreciate my answer this much, so it was really worth writing all of this after all. Edit 2: Fixed grammar and added the movie Drive (2011) to the list.

Answer: Couple of years ago people 'resurrected' outrunish styling and almost everyone jumped on the bandwagon as it was the cool thing to do. Imo it got over saturated really fast because everyone had graphics and intro that looked like they used the same tutorial without even thinking much about it. Some made it original, first and it really had a cool vibe and effect matching the content. Some just did it because it was hip at that time. Good post on /r/outrun about the holy 3.

Answer: The style has a source in CGA-era graphics. In the very early days of computer games one of the first video adapters capable of producing color graphics was the CGA Adapter. But for technical reasons, the colors it could produce were black, white, cyan and magenta. That gave most of the games from that era a very distinctive look. Here's a link to a [**Google Images search for CGA graphics.**](https://www.google.com/search?q=cga+graphics&rlz=1C1CHBH_enUS822US822&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjx1LqI-rTjAhUaXc0KHTXnAdQQ_AUIECgB&cshid=1563126005490129&biw=1367&bih=761) Bathe in the magenta and cyan awesomeness.

Answer: **The ZX Spectrum** ==== The ZX Spectrum was a home computer system which, at its core, was just the early video game supplement for aspiring children. And in a nutshell, its games were just black backgrounds and an 8-colour palette scheme of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and white. https://www.denofgeek.com/games/24911/the-top-50-underappreciated-zx-spectrum-games The nostalgia factor of adults (myself being age 45) who lived through those early pixelated video games is directly tied to the aesthetic of the ZX Spectrum, the Commodore 64, and the Apple II.

Answer: The synthwave answer is correct, that it's an aesthetic fashion that is booming in popularity, but for another possible answer, or another possible element of the answer: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gU3IA4u-J8&](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gU3IA4u-J8&) Summary: Incandescent light - anything from the sun, to fire, to traditional light-bulbs emit light on a gradient that goes from orange to blue - so that's one reason orange and blue are the other color pairing that current games and movies are over-saturated with. You can make your darks blue and your lights orange even in a relatively natural scene to add some aesthetic flair and play up a sense of color vibrancy. In contrast the red>blue through purple arc of the light spectrum don't really appear in nature, it is a gradient that is created by artificial blue and red light - like neon light-bulbs. So lighting using red>purple makes something feel artificial/unnatural/technological/human. It was used extensively in sci-fi movies and in pop videos in the 80s for that reason and communicated a kind of cyber-world for that reason and in turn those were the inspiration for the contemporary synthwave aesthetic. It becomes the kind of lighting for places away from the sun/natural light - nightclubs, city streets at night, bedrooms. Many places/shots where this pink>blue lighting is used are for things where you wouldn't want the harshness of incandescent light - whether sunlight or bright white/blue light-bulb lighting. It feels more intimate and less visually harsh while not feeling 'natural'. It's also a kind of lighting (along with orange/blue) that LED screens - which are now most screens we view images on - do better than any previous technology while, simultaneously, LED screens are much worse at doing sharp whites and blacks than traditional cameras and filmstocks. Most of us probably know how artifacted pure blacks often look on a cheaper LED screen. So in LED aesthetics there is more tendency to make deep shadows blue and to make the highlights a warm color - orange or pink/red with the color pairings chosen each communicating a different feeling.

Answer: "Female" is not derogatory in all contexts. However, it is very common for incel, MGTOW, and (to a lesser extent) Redpill groups to use "female" where you would normally use "woman" in a way that signals misogyny. The reason those groups may use that wording is because this shift is a subconscious way to signal women are lesser than men (since "female" is generally used clinically or to refer to animals, not socially). Because of this, many people are leery of those who use "female" in those sort of social contexts. So saying "female reproductive health" probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow, but saying "that female screwed me over" would, because the latter is using "female" where most people would use "woman".

What's up with female being a derogatory term now?

I've seen a few posts on r/BlackPeopleTwitter about the term female being derogatory. Is it just that people are using in place of derogatory terms, or is female now something that shouldn't be said? ​ Link to a recent example: [https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/cd06ap/its\_always\_used\_in\_place\_of\_bitch\_tbh/](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/cd06ap/its_always_used_in_place_of_bitch_tbh/)

2019-07-14 18:13:27

Answer: Another perspective, not just niche to "female." Referring to someone by solely an adjective is dehumanizing, because you reduce a person/group to that sole trait. So, it's derogatory to say "that female" instead of "that woman," In the same way that saying "that gay" is terrible as opposed to "that gay man." Of course, This shouldn't be confused with substantive adjectives, where adjectives replace nouns, e.g. "In with the old, out with the new." Iirc, substantive adjectives are accompanied by articles, namely "the."

Answer: That my friend is Megan Rapinoe, star forward for the USWNT (United States Women’s National Team: for International Football). She gained notoriety as of recently for stating “I’m not going to the f—-king White House...” in response to whether she would visit the White House if the USWNT won the World Cup. Since then the media circus has surrounded the discord between the parties (Rapinoe, USWNT members, Trump, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, etc.) via quips on social media. Per the usual media circuit, the story and everything related to it as a consequence have been covered from Vanity to CNN, you name it. And predictably, Joe/Jane Q. Public has an opinion on whether they love or hate her (very few articles coverage in between, also another interesting social commentary on the polarization of the media). She’s seen as anything from a martyr for co-leading the fight for gender equality (via the pending lawsuit against U.S. Soccer alledging institutionalized gender discrimination against the Equal Pay Act & Title VII of the Civil Rights Act) the to a traitor who takes a knee to protest police brutality (she took a knee in solidarity with Kaepernick's protest against police brutality and in support of BlackLivesMatter). Here is another response she made to Trump via Anderson Cooper 360: [Megan Rapinoe On Anderson Cooper 360](https://twitter.com/AC360/status/1148761137955164161?s=20) <——- Source (One Of Many) SN: It’s so weird how people socialize nowadays, in the past this whole discord would have transpired behind the scenes versus in the public eye.

Answer: Background: Honk Kong has a distinct history with the Chinese & British. When the Brits officially gave it all back to China, they had a formal agreement on some liberties that Honk Kong would keep. Somewhat recently there was a bill being pushed to allow extradition of people in Hong Kong, which some believe erodes the protection of this formal agreement. The Chinese government maintained that they have full control of domestic policy & the formal agreement is subject to their policy. Those in Hong Kong tend to like their protections, but the chinese government is applying a lot of pressure to push this bill through. The protests started in March, growing and growing since. Early June an event had ~2 million protesters (according to protesters) or ~330k protesters (according to police). With ~7 million people in hong kong, the average of these 2 figures means 1 out of every 7 was there at the protest. Which is pretty staggering. With figures this big, you can expect things to go wrong. Police violence against protesters, protester violence against police, and escalation from both sides. Regardless of which narrative you consider closer to reality, there is a LOT of unrest, which breeds more unrest. A week ago a chief executive said the extradition bill was "dead", but didn't give much assurance that it would stay that way, or assure the other demands. So we'll see which way this protester momentum goes.

Answer: Well, the news article linked in that tweet explains it pretty well: in the new Bond movie, after James Bond retires, a new character played by Lashana Lynch (a black woman) will receive the codename 007.

2019-07-15 00:45:58

Answer: The main issue seems to be a mixture of confusion regarding the distinction between James Bond and 007. Some people are criticising it as intentional so that they can make Bond a black female lead, by having Craig's Bond retire and having Lynch replace 007 as a supporting character, without saying it explicitly. The other genuine criticisms appear to be a combination of: * Political Pandering * Lack of originality * Deviating from Ian Fleming's legacy Culminating in the question: >Why couldn't Hollywood have left Bond and 007 as the creator intended, and create an original work (or spin-off franchise) with a black female lead spy? To which the answer appears to be because Hollywood doesn't believe a stand-alone film will be as profitable as modifying a well-founded one. And many people view manipulating a popular long-standing franchise as a sure way to ruin it.

Answer: GameFreak announced a short while ago that not all Pokemon would be available in the new installments, Sword and Shield. There would be a limit on which Pokemon could be transferred into the game from earlier titles (via an application called Pokemon Home, I believe). People are upset that they can't bring all of their Pokemon with them or transfer potential favorites over to the new games. The devs have explained this by citing issues with creating new HD animations to fit Sword and Shield's improved graphics and engine, and with over 800 already existing Pokemon, it's a matter of resource and time allocation.

What’s going on with the supposed murder all over Instagram?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxlVL1-FMF9/?igshid=un8mu37wqa0t I was scrolling through Instagram when my buddy tagged me in a post and the thousands of comments are pissed at the user for killing his gf? I can’t find much news about it but apparently there’s pictures and videos of it? Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. Can anyone confirm this?

Answer: A woman wrote a bunch of shitty and rather cruel things to her boyfriend, including how she cheated on him.He didnt take that very well and went out to kill her, took pictures of her dead body and posted to her discord that they both used.The man tried to kill himself but failed or changed his mind and surrendered to the police.They both seemingly had severe mental issues. **Though it seems like we have yet to find the whole truth because everyone seems to be super conflicted about what actually happened, and it might be a while before we know everything.** There is a bunch of screenshots floating around: [Two of them chatting on discord](https://imgur.com/a/Cj1HUdJ) [Her talking on discord about him](https://imgur.com/a/X7NCAZw) There is some more but its of her sexting with some other guy and its kinda explicit, as well as the very NSFW picture of the dead body he posted on discord, but im not posting that. They were also apparently both 4Chan users so make of that what you will.

Answer: IIRC most deportations are of those found crossing the border or have been apprehended after comitting crimes and sentenced. However, raids often target those that haven't been problematic and have begun to fully integrate/have done so already. Also, one raid can include multiple people, so the number of people deported is often a multiple of the number of raids.

What's going on with the ICE immigration raids this weekend?

So right now the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is conducting raids to detain and deport 2,000 undocumented immigrants. Here is an article discussing the situation: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/7/13/20693099/ice-raids-trump-chicago-new-york-san-francisco-denver-mayors-protesters These raids are proving to be very controversial, causing lots of protests and statements from Democratic Party officials condemning the actions. Many immigrants are also reportedly very scared and have gone into hiding. Personally, I'm someone who is pro-immigrant, and I feel for the people targeted by this. I am searching for more information about the broader context, however, because I am having difficulty understanding the significance of this particular operation. Another article I read said that last year ICE deported 256,000 people. That's about 5,000 people per week on average. So it looks to me as if this particular operation targets less than half of the people who are deported by ICE in a typical week. So while I think ICE should be deporting fewer people, this particular operation seems like a drop in the bucket. What am I missing? Why is this operation getting so much media attention? I would think that ICE must be continuously performing operations like this every week--otherwise how are they deporting so many people? But people are treating this operation like it is a new and frightening escalation. What is new about it? I'm not trying to say people shouldn't be protesting or shouldn't be upset. . .I'm just better trying to understand the situation and the context leading up to it. Any perspective you could offer me would be much appreciated.

Answer: As of about this writing there [appear no confirmed reports](https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/14/politics/ice-raids-undocumented-immigrants/index.html) from either enforcement nor legal advocate services that any people have been even investigated let alone apprehended. Notably, according to that article the target is only "operation expected to target about 2,000 undocumented immigrants ordered by courts to be removed from the country" which seems narrower than what had been claimed previously by the administration.

Answer: ICE does regular "raids", more akin to going around picking up people that have been flagged as illegal immigrants. Generally these are people who have committed some other crime, or have gone through a legal process of some sort. This weekend the presidential administration decided to publicize ICE activity as a publicity stunt, which seems to have been fairly effective as I've seen it covered as nauseam. I suspect this will be considered a success by the people who orchestrated this bit of political theatre, and so I expect the publicizing, and politicizing of ICE activity to continue. As you point out, this weekend's activity is not much different from standard day to day except for the news coverage.

Answer: My comment was removed, not sure why as this was what was on the news this weekend on CNN, it is not my opinion. In the past, the raids have gone after people who had actually done wrong or were avoiding doing the paperwork/seriously wronged someone. This time they are actually talking about going after families who have been here for years and are up to date on there paperwork and have followed all the rules while waiting for citizenship. You have people who came here a decade ago who have followed all the rules and done everything the "legal" way, who are now being tossed in the camps and threatened to be pulled away from their kids - people who have been legally working and paying taxes and have no criminal record at all are being pulled out of their homes. People keep claiming that it is ok to throw "illegals' in jail while they are waiting, not realizing that many of the people being tossed in HAVE done things the legal way.

Answer: [it all starts here](https://youtu.be/F3GoyamxXt8). Vince Staples showed up on an episode of The Cave (a YouTube series where Kenny Beats invites rappers into his studio to build a beat and have them freestyle over it). Its kind of an unofficial tradition on the show that artists usually come in and do some light ribbing at Kenny's expense while he makes the beat for them In his freestyle Vince dropped the joke that "Kenny Beats is the Police", and it took off. In the [most recent episode](https://youtu.be/fD9Vzyg1WFM) Kenny admitted that he wasnt the biggest fan of that joke, as he's still an up-and-coming producer, and given the nature of hip hop (especially the current "underground" scene) and its resistance against Police action against the black community, it can be taken the wrong way by an artist who isn't aware of the joke. Given how Vince Staples is known as a bit of a jokester outside of his music, he most likely saw Kenny talking about it and decided to keep the joke going to keep poking fun at Kenny. A fan shows up to a show with the sign and he sees it as an opportunity to keep the joke rolling a bit longer.

Answer: A while back Adobe announced that they were ending support of Flash Player, and that they would stop distributing it altogether some time in 2020. The big browser manufacturers (Google, Mozilla) have pending updates that will begin the phase-out of FP support as well. Since a lot of old-school browser games and other web-based entertainment are based around Flash Player, this spells doom for a lot of them, unless they’re retooled to use something else.

Answer: The American government agency ICE is planned to go through a bunch of cities and try to arrest undocumented immigrants. Once they're arrested, they'll likely be moved to a set of holding camps that have made the news for having intolerable conditions like very little space, no hygiene products, and broken toilets. For the record, people are kept in those camps for weeks or even months while they wait for their case to go to trial, even if they're seeking legal asylum.

Just woke up to a handful of posts discussing raids happening Sunday (yesterday) against any and all Latino people, taking them to some sort of camps.

2019-07-15 14:31:12

Answer: [The CNN article](https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/14/politics/ice-raids-undocumented-immigrants/index.html) on the subject makes it quite clear that the raids are targeting illegal immigrants who have been issued final deportation orders by the courts. The [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trump-says-ice-raids-to-start-sunday-emphasizing-purge-of-criminal-immigrants/2019/07/12/b063e87c-a4b5-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html?utm_term=.26be0ba73455) corroborates this, with more details of the specifics. That article also raises legitimate concerns of bureaucratic screw-ups in these raids sweeping up the innocent and less guilty. This is not unheard of.

Answer: The recent expansion for WoW, BFA, has been getting a lot of flack for being a step back, quality wise, in many ways from previous expansions. This has people ready to be hostile to any perceived slight from Blizzard. There's also, at the same time, been an issue with mount distribution between the factions in BFA. Alliance players have mostly been given reskins of existing mounts, or variants on Horses, while Horde players have been getting access to new and unique models. These two issues have come together with the Sylverian Dreamer. With the recent patch, Blizzard added a large number of mounts to the game , with many of the Alliance-only mounts being reskins of existing mounts, such as reusing the Gryphon, and many of the neutral mounts being recolours as well. At the same time, Blizzard added a new mount, the Sylverian Dreamer, to the shop, which requires paying actual money, on top of a monthly subscription and buying the game. You can also get the dreamer by purchasing a 6 month subscription, but you cannot use existing battlenet balance to buy it - if you had existing balance or use game time tokens, you need to add more money to your account to buy the mount or for your subscription to be eligible for the mount. Store mounts tend to be poorly received as a baseline, due to the triple-dipping nature of charging for the game, subscription, and the cosmetics, but these factors combined have some parts of the player base mad, during a time when the game is already losing subscribers rapidly. Asmongold is a well known streamer of WoW, and he had a [very hostile reaction to the addition of the Sylverian Dreamer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T82kR1Y2n60) as another store mount, so it wouldn't be surprising that some of his fans have followed suit, and are taking out their rage on other parts of the community.

2019-07-15 17:04:48

Answer: asmongold (really popular world of warcraft streamer) is a mount collector and also is very anti cash shop mounts. A cash shop mount is a mount that can only be purchased in the Blizzard shop with real money. Watch this video for context: https://youtu.be/wth0QTofjHI Basically his complaint is that Blizzard mostly adds recolored mounts for achievements (earned by actually playing the game) while saving the new unique modeled mounts for the store. And they aren't cheap either.. For example the dreamer that you're seeing is 25USD. I don't play WoW anymore but I can guess that players are being rude to him for having spent the money on the mount, which goes along with the idea that if people are buying them then they'll keep adding them to the cash shop. It's their own form of protest against what they see as a gross business practice.

What’s up with mullets being fashionable again all of a sudden? (Added links)

So I work in the the service industry, and I’ve seen an influx of young guys (like, 16-25ish) rocking mullets over the last few months. Most recently, we had a family in our restaurant for their son’s 19th birthday; the kid showed up about 25 minutes after everybody else, rocking a fresh mullet that he had just gotten cut and was super stoked on. I’m old enough to have lived through mullets actually being popular (looking at you, Dad) and seeing them come back ironically in the late 90’s. Is there some reason why they’re back in vogue right now? I know The Chats are awesome and kinda popular, but they seem too niche/small scale to have any kind of major fashion impact on American youth. Am I missing something here??

Answer: (or at least an attempt at an answer) I don't think there's really a single big controversy surrounding the movie, but there are a few smaller ones. * This doesn't really have that much to do with this movie in particular, but there are people who would like for Disney to stop or at least slow down the rate they are churning out live-action remakes of their animated classics, seeing them as shallow cash grabs that never really capture the magic of the originals. * It seems that this movie was going to deviate a bit more heavily from the original animated version in comparison to Disney's previous adaptations. For example, I think it was announced that while the original film's score would be used, most, if not all of the songs, would be cut. In addition, Mushu isn't going to be in the movie. Shang also won't be in the movie (his role is split into multiple other characters). Some people don't like these changes. Others think that changes are potentially good and that previous Disney adaptations stuck too close to their original animated versions. There are also some who claim that these changes are due to Disney trying to pander to China. * There was some discussion in China on how some of the visuals shown in the teaser are historically inaccurate, and there are some who are concerned as to how good a job Disney would do in portraying Chinese history and culture. This was something the original didn't do very well, and hence why the original wasn't that well received in China.

I was hoping I could get some answers https://images.app.goo.gl/HPCmXc8f2cimXNRk8 Edit: I forgot to add that I am wondering about the controversy surrounding the movie

2019-07-15 23:51:10

Answer: Based on all the marketing, It's looking like it's not really a live action remake as much as it's looking like a new story based of of the original Hua Mulan story using Disney's Mulan as a marketing tool. ​ Most of the other live action films were made to be sold to fans of the original movies. "Check out this great casting and all the songs you remember are back! SETH ROGEN PUMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" ​ But the Live action Mulan is being made primarily for the Chinese Market as it's Disney's biggest China-related property. And because the goal is to appeal to a Chinese audience, the live action remake will differ heavily from the '98 Animated film it's remaking. Like how it's no longer a musical, Mushu and Disney Prince Li Shang are absent, etc. ​ If you are a fan of the 1998 movie or just love "Ill make a Man Out of You", this movie is shaping up to be not what you want. China should have a Hua Mulan film, but selling it as a "Remake of that movie you remember" is looking like deception.

I've seen so many different things about it to the point of I dont know what true or not. Or if what I'm reading is just jokes or something. I was hoping I could get some answers https://images.app.goo.gl/HPCmXc8f2cimXNRk8 Edit: I forgot to add that I am wondering about the controversy surrounding the movie

Answer: Most of the complaints I've seen so far revolve around the lack of Mushu. Mushu was a comic relief character in the original film, and is easily one of the favourite characters. However, he is a very crude and innacurate representation of how the Chinese view dragons. In order to make the film more historically approppriate (which is not the same as historically accurate), I expect many changes will be made (such as the historical context added in *Beauty and the Beast*), including replacing Mushu with a Fenghuang, allegedly.

Answer: >So what exactly are the bad conditions? It varies, but generally over optimization (you have to be always be moving), unregulated temperatures in warehouses etc, physical demanding work for 10+ hour work days, etc. Basically, the efficiency Amazon is known for to get you your item in 2 days? apply that to wringing every bit of efficiency out of a person. Nothing illegal, but insane amounts of micromanagement. >Does anyone here work at Amazon that can give me the skinny? There are a number of articles in the media with details. Here's just one: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/11/20/18103516/black-friday-cyber-monday-amazon-fulfillment-center

What's up with the working conditions at Amazon?

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/cdivuu/were_reviewed_professional_product_testers_here/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share So I guess today is prime day and there was an AMA that went awry, but I'm not familiar with the situation. I also heard that the workers at Amazon are striking due to the bad working conditions. So what exactly are the bad conditions? Does anyone here work at Amazon that can give me the skinny?

Answer: r/SAT is open again, and it's possible that it was accidentally banned. The mods also appear to be unsure what happened. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sat/comments/cdpv8l/subreddit_ban/ Seeing as how I've seen the admins banning several users lately, and then an hour or two later turning around and going "oh, our bad", it would seem to be within the realm of possibility that they jumped the gun somehow and banned the subreddit prematurely or in violation of some internal policy. Unfortunately, the admins tend to be rather tight-lipped when this sort of thing happens, and we'll most likely only get speculation about the actual cause.

What's up with /r/SAT getting banned?

Edit: **Annnnnnnd it's back... you can put down the pitchforks people!** For those that don't know, /r/SAT has been a community for many years dedicated to help, advice, discussion, and feedback regarding the infamous college placement exam administered by College Board. It appears that by going to [/r/SAT](https://old.reddit.com/r/SAT), the subreddit has become banned. [The official message](https://www.reddit.com/r/sat) states that it has been banned for violating the Reddit rules, although it fails to say which rules. So why did /r/SAT become banned, and why all of a sudden? This happened around 6:40PM EST on July 15th, 2019. [Image](https://imgur.com/a/MZUbero).

Answer: r/runningbholechallenge I believe. A popular pornstar did this as a joke on twitter and it caught traction. Edit; For everyone asking where it started, here you https://twitter.com/pierceparisxxx/status/1137944647521644544?s=21 This guy did.

What's up with videos of women jumping on cameras with their vaginas?

Answer: to add further context to djsparkxx answer, there was a funny video this guy put on Twitter a while ago where he set his phone on the floor, punched the camera a few times, then jumped up and slammed his bare butt onto the camera. This is a further extension of that meme.

Answer: "Orbiting" is a term used by Red Pillers to describe guys that hang around a woman in a relationship in order to get with her should she break up (of course, this is purely a Red Pill concept, so it's pretty much BS). Juding by this post, "Mantras" seems to be an incel.

What’s the deal with Michael Sosa (Mantras) and what is “orbiting”?

So upon digging into instagram about the murder that happened, I kept coming upon bizarre stuff talking about Michael Sosa, some supposed pedophile who is the son of some judge. There was mention of some girls names too, like ciara and eliza. They kept talking about orbiting, which I’ve absolutely never heard of before. Can anyone fill me in on what I stumbled upon? Here’s a post on some chan about it (I didn’t include a link because I didn’t read all of the thread and I’m afraid of what might be in it): https://imgur.com/a/IMCtwSK If what they’re saying is true, how is he not arrested?

2019-07-16 08:26:11

Answer: they’re women of color in Congress who disagree with him. They were all born in the United States, so this is where they came from, but since they aren’t white, he’s implying that they have other home countries. He feels like he can never be wrong, so he keeps digging the hole deeper.

Answer: It is a popular Barstool Sports podcast hosted by two girls that talk about R rated topics and provide advice on sex, dating, and everything in between. The reason you see it on dating app profiles is because they're pushing this sort of cult of internal references which may or may not make a partner more pleasurable.

Answer: #callherdaddy is a popular calling card of the street gang “the bloods”. It came about when a member of the then-friendly gang, “the crips” had “cat called” a female blood saying “you can call me daddy any time”. The female responded with “nah bitch, you call ME daddy” and stabbed him in the face with a soldering iron. Ever since then there’s been a heated rivalry which I’m sure you’ve heard about in rap songs. These women you are seeing are hardened criminals and should be reported to the authorities.

Answer: Basically Slazo was accused of being a rapist by his ex-girlfriend "Chey", she quickly gathered mass following thanks to her connections with other youtubers, but as more evidence showed up it turned out that while Slazo is a sh*t bf he's no rapist and the entire thing was made up to hurt his reputation. This is a quick rundown of what's been going on, if you want to learn more about it I suggest watching [Turkey Tom's latest video](https://youtu.be/5GGmz-iYKlI) Edit: Added a link
