So defending my opinion is looked down upon, yet attacking a random person who you seem as a "societal detriment" (this is entirely based off of your opinion and nothing else) is ok? I mentioned that OP was making a large generalization because what he said was extremely disrespectful toward the Youtubers that genuinely work hard at what they do. I see nothing wrong with pointing out generalizations when I find that they present an issue. Obviously we shouldn't be pointing out [b]every[/b] time someone makes an absolute statement that isn't necessarily true, but when it is blatantly offensive to a large group of people, something needs to be said. I understand that OP was trying to make a joke, but unless he makes a disclaimer that he is only talking about certain Youtubers, he is directly insulting not only quality content creators, but he is also insulting those that support them as well. Since I am someone who watches YouTube content regularly, this is very much a battle of my own.
Also your theory that having an argument against generalizations is "intellectually dishonest" and that such people are a "societal detriment" is entirely based on your opinion.

Nope, most generalizations are statistically provable. Like this one regarding you tubers. One can watch 100 youtubers, track the percentage that this fits absolutely, and when it is upwards of 90%, you can mathematically verify the fact that this generalization rightfully represents the group. You could have appreciated the illustration, laughed, and even commiserated with the community over how annoying it is t watch a video like that. Instead, you chose getting upset. Is it tiring trying so hard to be offended all the time?

Edited by LikeGlitta: 7/16/2017 7:45:15 PMIt's true that quality Youtubers are few and far between, but that does not change the fact that what OP said could be considered disrespectful. There are so many quality content creators out there that it's a huge insult to generalise them like this. If I'm not mistaken, this is a logical fallacy and should not be excused conveniently for the purpose of being a joke. I may have seen the joke ad humorous had OP included a disclaimer, but I'm only interpreting what is in front of my eyes. For all I know, OP could legitimately think that all Youtubers are like this since he has not pointed it out himself. Though we can probably both agree that's unlikely, it doesn't change the fact that he is being disrespectful to many quality Youtubers as well as the people that support them. I'm done with this argument as I've wasted enough time. Agree to disagree and move on.
