  • he should call him mister anderson.

  • reminds me of agent smith.

  • I've heard from a reliable source that it seems that no matter how badly Onision screws up, there never seems to be any serious consequences. Maybe some mild trolling and a few lost subs, but he inevitably bounces back.

    Therefore, I'd like to see him destroyed. Loss of fanbase, partnership, etc etc. I'm not saying this out of spite, I'm saying this because I feel like that's the only way he's going to wake up and realize that he seriously needs psychological help.

  • You sir, are awesome.

  • You are so intelligent and I enjoyed this video very much.

  • Great video, i wish Greg would listen.. but he never does

  • Here's some troll traffick! I encourage all viewers to watch the two videos listed in the description and listen very carefully. How many words do you hear this ProportionalResponse guy stuffing into Onision's mouth?

  • @Ray77063 Rapists get more than just words stuffed in their mouths in the joint.

  • @yerk3 Yeah, I changed my tune after learning a little more about Onision. Based on the new information, he *is* a rapist.

  • You act as though the military is a person, it snot, just a bunch of different people. just like ANY group of people their are TONS of stupid idiots in the world, and i would not be surprised at all. I have never caught him in a lie, no reason to doubt him and you have no reason either, he has no need to lie about such a thing.

  • @natemorey Is Onision Kool-Aid grape or cherry flavored? You are talking about a radically unhinged person, and saying he has no reason to lie. As Hitch once said "You give me the awful impression, i hate to say it, of someone who hasn't read any of the arguments against your position - ever."

  • @ProportionalResponse now now, no need to quote at me. I have seen arguments against them, I just didnt find anything incriminating. I understand he is a very radical person, bu tlying would never be in his best intrest and as someone who obviously isn't trying to make people happy why should he lie? he knows most people disagree with his veg ideas, if he wanted eople to like him wouldnt he lie and say he doesnt care about meat eating or something else to improve his image?

  • @natemorey Having some ideals that are unpopular doesn't mean it's in his best interest or character to tell the truth. How do you make that connection?? The two are not related at all. Working with someone that has unpopular ideas, it may be in that person's interest to tell YOU the truth, if they know you put a high premium on truth. This is the internet, not a 1 on 1 relationship. Lying would never be in his best interest? Views+$+notoriety = motivation to lie. cont...

  • @ProportionalResponse ... Not saying that those things mean he WILL lie, but to say "lying would never be in his best interest"..... is at best naive, and at worst just plain dumb. Everyone has a motivation to lie.

  • @ProportionalResponse "...interest to tell YOU the truth.." "Views+$+notoriety = motivation to lie. cont..." So, your saying he has motivation to tell the truth to me... yet lie? which is it? because he cannot tell me the truth yet lie to everyone else. His speaks channel did not bring him his viewers, his main channel of acting crazy did. he would gain far more by losing his opinion all together, I see no reason to lie when it causes him loss of subscribers?

  • @natemorey "Working with someone that has unpopular ideas, it may be in that person's interest to tell YOU the truth, if they know you put a high premium on truth." Read it again, I was saying if you work or know someone then there is motivation to be truthful, because you interact directly with them. See their face etc... This is the internet, no direct contact. I was saying that online, where he gains $ from views, then lies are a motivation to make more $.

  • @ProportionalResponse Again, I said it doesn't mean that that will make someone lie, but to say "lying would never be in his best interest". is short sighted, and would only be said by someone blinded by him. Hell, be your own man. Start by taking his pic off your profile, and not trying to gain his favor by filling your recommended channels with his stuff. That is a bit of an unhealthy obsession.

  • Thank you for this video! It's very good and brave of you to put yourself out there to bear the brunt of his army of trolls and die-hard 'fans' to speak for and stand up for what is right. You responded to him in a rational, calm and reasonable manner, and I'm sure that this video will help this cause greatly, so, thank you!

  • @Bahndito lol Well, actually, as a result of the video, he blocked me. lol

  • awesome vid :) he really is a low human being who needs a good old fashioned slap lol

  • Very well said. I wholeheartedly agree with you. However if it were my sister that were so defamed I may well arrange a punch-o-gram for the asshat that aired such poisen.

  • I have slept with so many sluts that i lost count. I love sluts, who cares, it is all about enjoying life. But anyways, who's counting?

  • I was with ya till you said the man card part...

  • And did he name the girl? Cause if not, why do so many people care? He could have made the shit up as far as we know.

  • Dude, she's a fucking slut. Why are you harping on that for so long. Get to the point.

  • I'm 24 and have slept with about 30 guys. Just from looking at me, most people wouldn't guess more than 2. It's really not that big of a deal and doesn't reflect on who that person is. Someones sex life doesn't dictate who that person truly is. This is akin to judging someone for being gay. What someone does sexually has nothing to do with who they are as a person.

  • this is one of my favorite responses. it's excellent.

  • i think this is a sober reply to a drunk video. What is worse than an emo? A drunk emo. Now that is a recipe for drama I personally would stay away from, but this man here just managed to do up his suspenders and keep a straight face responding to Onision. He may have expected trolls, but I can see the applause on the like bar.

  • a little late to the party man. Onision has been Bukkake'd by the entire internet already.

  • I'm curious how and why you conflate 'pressured' into having sex with 'forced' into having sex. The latter of those is what we just ordinarily call rape, while the former isn't; and the lady in question has said herself that Onision did *not* rape her. I suppose the crux of that distinction is in what one means by pressured; clearly you think it's in some fashion equivalent to applying force since you went straight from pressured into forced. I don't get the nexus there.

  • You have thick skin? Judging by the calibre of the attacks Onision is able to mount, you could have no skin and his arsenal would fall on the ground harmlessly before you. Nice work. I particularly enjoyed the revocation of his man card. Better check it though, I think it was a forgery, or stolen. Onision doesn't know what a relationship is. He wont learn because he's too busy blaming others while pretending to be a martyr. Perhaps a child he is, but of the worst kind. Thanks. Well done.

  • Oh man thank you so much. You are brilliant and you've made a fantastic response to this horrible video. Thank you again for being amazing. :)

  • Onision is a modern day Charles Manson. He uses Youtube to get the attention he so desperately craves to strengthening the thought of being God's angel send from heaven to seduce god's children into endless and pointless discussions.

    However, if a girl/woman/boy/man/dog/horse/m­onkey or donkey ever had sex with him, she/he/it probably deserves what's coming to her/him/it, because.. come on, he's a a-grade creep! This is why a I'm sure he made it all up and therefore pointless to be bothered.

  • Onesion is such a pussy, constantly saying "I was suicidal and had a gun to my head", like it's some sort of fucking bragging right to be stupid.

    Seriously, he should go speak to people with cancer and complain that life is not fair for him.

  • You sir, are a true man. That was so well said and brilliant. I never heard much about this fucker either until recently and then really well when this current rebound video situation started. I am now going to make it one of my duties to troll the ever loving shit out of him till he either leaves youtube or goes more insane than he already is (if possible).

  • onision being a moron aside, i definitely wouldn't want to be with someone who had over 20 partners. some say it's insecurity, but i think it is some instinct of guys, some can ignore it, some don't.

    for practical reasons, i wouldn't be with someone for that reason because it is more likely they may have a disease, and I don't want an std or hepc due to someone's promiscuity. I date with that small possibility of eventual marriage open= a requirement of which for me is unprotected sex, clean.

  • @emwaver Date her. Get tested together for STDs. Have sex. She could have slept with 1 or 100, and that'll save the day.

  • @emwaver If you meet a woman that fell in love with, after a while you find out that she have had a great number of lovers. Would you dump her ?

    If you say yes, then I feel sorry for you. And I hope you will learn more about life before you answer this question.

    I once tought I would only have a virgin, the first time I had sex, (at 16), or whom I would marry.

    Today I'm glad I didn't.

    Then there are condoms you know. It's a pretty safe thing against ALL sexual transmitted diseases.

  • @emwaver 20 partners is the minimum for me. How is does one become an expert lover without practice and experience? I find that people with very few lovers often tend to be emotionally unsophisticated. Would your rather sleep with a well-rounded, mentally, emotionally and sexually skilled and knowledgeable adult or an empty risk-taking play thing? Your corrolation between STDs and experience, it's false. Also the def. of promiscuity = indiscriminate. Many does not equal indiscriminate.

  • @emwaver Unprotected sex leads to babies, so unless you're planning to breed like rabbits, you could have problems with your wish for unprotected sex.

    Many women can't take oral/injected contraceptives, also, putting her on the pill will kill libido, as it does for many many women . They often can't tolerate other forms of contraception either, which are also very invasive and cause long term pain and suffering and bleeding.

    So...the least stress to a woman's body is condoms....sorry.

  • onision is a valuable member of youtube. he deserves everything he has and everything he says is intelligent and the truth. i would be very sad and so would all of youtube if something bad happened to him. he may be harsh at times, posting vid of "mental illness" but its for a point, and he probably saved animals converting people to veganism.

    stupid enough? he seems desperate and controlling, and i'd feel that the universe was balancing itself out of he was handicapped from posting vids.

  • This turd (Onision not yourself) on first appearance seems like a flat out attention whore. Don't understand the reasoning for several channels when it can easily be accomplished with just one, but no matter.

    The worst part is that after making such blind comments, he's screening viewer comments on some videos. The prick can't face up to the consequences of making such a video.

    I imagine that some of his audience would be offended by it as well.

  • I'm surprised that so many people are not as familiar with Onision's publicity tricks...at the same time, it is good that you and a few others don't know the whole drama train he has caused because that means you don't allow your thinking brain to be distracted by his troll-whoreism. If anyone is a slut here, it's Onision. Da internet's biggest attention slut. It's funny, PR, because you have demonstrated so much logic in just this video, which Onision hasn't demonstrated in all his lifetime.

  • I have often though that Onision is incredibly childish. Glad someone agrees with me.

  • I don't think Onenocturnalemission is worth your time.

  • GOOD FOR YOU GREG :D

  • Comment removed

  • Onision logic

    eat at kfc is evil

    rape is good

  • thats sad bro!

  • i'm hungary!

  • @TheLovesoul1 Have some gulyás.

  • @yerk3 whats that bacon?

  • Am I the only one that realizes Onision is a primarily same-sex attracted man pretending not to be? To me this just looks like an elephant with the word 'ostrich' painted on the side, with everyone happy to say "yeah, that's an ostrich" ...

    There's no way that thing is an ostrich!! LOOK AT IT!

    Anyway ... it has nothing to do with the validity of any arguments he puts forth, it's just that any time I hear his or Marcus Bachmann's name brought up I think of that.

    Peace.

  • You were a lot calmer than I was when I made my video (on my DanBigglesworth channel). Great video!

  • I'm not much younger than her and I'm still with my first girlfriend but prior to me she had a few boyfriends and several fuck buddies.

    It was actually helpful in many ways. Although on the other hand our first time in bed we ended up joking about spongebob and monopoly.

    He's just an emotionally underdeveloped prick who sucks off the youtube drama money generators and attempts to be intelligent and funny, both of which he fails.

  • Apparently, Accused lady: 27 - Onision: 1

    'nuff said!

  • Onision is super hot all of you are like haters. *twirls hair*

    Ok that was painful but I'm an attention slut and want top comment, and that's the only thing I can come up with to fake being one of that pathetic wast of fruits and vegetables fucktwats fans. Even now I want to wash my fingers out with soap because they feel icky. Fuck saying this kind of ruins my plans doesn't it?... Now I have a headache and perhaps need a nap.

  • The rationality here is so wasted, pearls before swine can not even come close to fitting the situation.

    I love your vids, but this is just...I don't know, it seems such a worthless effort to treat him like anything but the fool he present to the world and most likely is.

  • I agree with everything except the subscriber count thing. It was just as wrong to do if he only had 1 sub as opposed to a thousands of subs. Youre putting people with many subs on a pedestal saying that these people have to act better than people with low sub counts. I think everyone should be respectful weather youre famous or not. He shouldnt be criticized for having a big account he should be criticized for being a sick childish crybaby asshole who possibly forces women into sex

  • Well said/done ProportionalResponse ★★★★★

    Katalyzt

  • kinda sad THIS is your 200th video =/

    oh well, i love your vids!

  • What you addressed in this video needed to be said. Someone who uses youtube as a means to propagate drama of any kind is wasting valuable bandwidth.

    Personally, I have no need of Onision or his bellyaching.

  • I'm slightly annoyed with myself for checking (train wreck curiosity, I admit it), but he's posted a response to the vids that were critical to his pair of vids. Throwing down the gauntlet sounds too cerebral for this, rather he's throw down his mitten (ratings off-comment still allowed for now) and saying that his critics have a high school mindset, and are sexist to boot. I played the ending song from Grease in his honor after I watched it. ; )

  • nicely put mate. Onision is a total douche.

  • I was going to leave a self degrading comment on your channel... but... I... shat my pants. ^^

  • Onision is a crazy bipolar motherfucker. His brain is completely broken but 12 year old emo kids find him funny and entertaining.

  • Could say, one of your better video's. Honest, adult, rational.. All things that I respect in a person. It makes me feel like I should take the first plane over, just to shake your hand and saying: I'm glad I met a decent person today

    Do hope it doesn't get dragged out too much and will send a message to divinity as a bit of support. Fraid I just can't do much more than that...

  • @Shangori Ah wait, seems she isn't the woman in question. Sorry about that. Do hope the woman in question is ok tho.

  • @Shangori ummm divinity isnt the woman referred to in onision's vid in case that's what you're thinking;)

  • @jimthepleb Yeah, I 'was' thinking that. Looked at her video after. She's the kind of woman that would make absolutely sure no means NO.

  • Haha, even not at your best, you still got it spot on.

  • I slept with more than 20 @ 26, I'm so slutty :P

  • I'd never heard of Ornision before watching your video. Now I've watched a few videos, and I'm struggling to understand what people see in him. The videos you're responding to here are shocking. What a horrible man.

  • To Greg & all those that have seen the odious melodramatic video a certain individual made about rebounding: I tried to sit through that half-assed spaz-fest & yet I swear that it's time to break out the diving bell and nose plugs to sort out the level of shit he was peddling. You & Divinity have come across better in denouncing this puerile drama for what it is & I'm not amused at all.

    One would hope that someone on high smites him and hard...

  • Onision is such a self righteous, theatrical ninny. It somewhat pained me to see someone (like yourself @ProportionalResponse) address him in a thoughtful, honest and straight forward way.

    Onision will not hear it, will not comment on the rational objections against him, will twist and weasel anything not in his favor to illustrate HIMSELF as the victim.

    ProportionalResponse, focus your attentions elsewhere. You say you only watched 2 or 3 of his videos? Watch more and you'll see what I'm saying

  • @Shawnruss I'M TORN! Greg said to thumb up the trolls and the dumb stuff, but I agree with what you said. So should I thumbs down your post? Zhe goggles, zhey do nothing!

  • @Shawnruss I think he did well being able to stomach watching 2 or 3, I watched 1 and knew right away what a narcissistic little Emo twerp he was, the best thing to do with his type is ignore them and starve them of the oxygen of attention they crave.

  • Comment removed

  • @HorrorIllogium You find it retarded to make a video to show a person (who has a big audience) has been disgustingly dishonest and frankly a twat in order to help another person (who has no way to defend herself, not having a big channel or anything) whom he insulted using derogatory terms, including slut, using his big subscriptions list in order to get a few thousands of his minions pitted against that person, who seemingly, in the end, did nothing wrong ? Then you are an idiot. That simple.

  • @gilless429 It's pointless and in poor taste. Someone this despicable just deserves to be ignored. 

  • @HorrorIllogium That's what would need to be done if he didn't have influence over thousands of people and wasn't doing what he's doing to that poor girl... You can ignore a simple troll. One who can convince thousands of minions just by saying something and who is intent on destroying someone's reputation using that influence ? Not in my book. Ignoring stuff doesn't make it go away.

  • Don't feed the troll. Stuff like this is exactly what Onision wants. He is a troll. A troll with a filming budget and a fan audience (who don't have a clue what he's actually doing). Its exactly the same as the poes who fake religious retardation to provoke responses - except this guy does with relationship-drama. Its all fake and just made to provoke reactions - so do what you do with all trolls: Ignore him.

  • GIVE ME THAT ONISION ILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM FOR DEGRADING THAT POOR GIRL

  • You guys sound like a bunch of 14 year old girls when you whine about drama.

  • Interesting he disabled comments on both videos. Makes me wonder if he's listening to these videos by you, divinity and others? And if so, if it's even getting through to him?

  • Well said. I found his video peculiar.

  • The guy's always seemed like a drama whore to me, based on my pretty limited viewing of him. Honestly, all his statements seem engineered to create conflict.

    By the way, your voice is quite pleasant.

  • Actually if he forced himself on a woman (regardless of the woman's history) is simply Rape.

  • I tried. I tried to watch Onision's video...but I couldn't make it all the way through. He is just awful.

  • I wonder what @Lacgreen have to say !!!

  • overblown the smug

  • Actually I think his biggest crime is bad mouthing someone to such a large audience.

    His problems with said person should be kept between him and her along with involved parties.

    I realize we have free speech but we must know when to talk and when not to.

  • Yo, greg, for some your vid won't play. It loads, and I can scroll through it and see all the frames and such, but it won't play. Every other video on the site seems to work, just not this one. I know you can't actually do anything to fix this, I just wanted to share my strife with someone else.

  • @bromordra Really? Shit.. hm.. I dunno.. 1st I've heard of it. Let me see if I can figure something out

  • @ProportionalResponse Clearing my cache and restarting chrome did the trick. No more problems. Onto the video.

  • @bromordra It happens to me too :(

  • I watch the Onision video and to me its sounded like he raped (proberly the wrong word) her and then is mocking the poor girl as thou to say she deserved it or she below human, because she had more lovers than him. The rest about hygine is just a snowball effect to get people on his side. He is one sick fuck !

  • Congrats on 200 videos.

  • you are not trying to get involved in youtube drama?

    hahaha good luck.

  • Well said P.R . , a well measured as always response, and thankfully someone finally called him out on his military history, ... but anyhow, well put, well said.

  • Remember, PR, when it comes to enlisted, security forces is bottom rung. If you score the lowest possible on that test they give you, your only option is security forces.

    But that's just nitpicking, your video is great.

  • Trying to reason with Onison is like trying to teach a dog astrophysics.

  • @TheMelianDialogue I object to Hitchins use of the word 'Matchbox' when talking about Jerry Falwell.

    Regards,

    Rhysz

  • @Rhysz1 *Hitchens

  • Well said, I agree 100% . I have seen a few of onisions videos and it became very clear to me early on that he was full of shit.

  • A man has that many lovers and he's congratulated. A woman has that many lovers and she's demeaned. Gee the hypocracy is staggering.

  • I'm very pleased with your videos. You're skilled at reading people and detecting bullshit, something in which I don't have much practice.

  • You seem like a pretty honourable guy.

    Going out of your way to defend a woman you probably do not know, and yet respect onisions freedom to speak as he wishes.

    Best wish sir.

  • Onision trolls range in age from about 12-15. Or at least their trolling skills seem to suggest as much.

  • Has anyone dared suggest how much of a prize-moron the said woman of this story is?

    I mean, you gotta be licking windows to involve yourself with the lowest rank of manhood that is Onision.

  • I used to be a slut, then I took a dick in the ass.

  • Great commentary one a stupid video. I can't understand why Onision's video was made in the first place just to low. Why put a person down in such a way. Scary. Regards and have a skilful time. Pinge

  • I didn't know he was claiming he was in the USAF. I saw his one video about sluts. That was the only one I had seen. When you brought that up, I actually said out loud, "BULLSHIT!" Anyone who has any ACTUAL military experience can immediately identify that.

  • The problem with semantics, is nobody gives a shit what's right, and will argue to the death for the definition that aids their argument, no matter how wrong it is. IE why most creatards use atheist as "people who believe in but hate god so pretend he doesn't exist to hurt his feelings".

  • I no longer believe ANYTHING that comes from Onision or Shiloh.

  • You know PR, I love you buddy, but he has so many video's that are full of lies and hatred that would have been better to receive a proportional response. Like, most of his very very VERY, extremist videos on veganism. I don't have a problem with vegans, or vegetarians, but I do have a problem when they try to control me. Anyways, I went way off point. I just want you to go after unreasoned arguments, and BS in general, which you've done. I just think its a boring topic. Psh, onision...

  • @PaperSoapy Pick a few vids that deserve a response.  Send me a link. I don't know him, so maybe I'd chomp the bit for a chance at him.

  • I think even Onision's fans aren't praising him for this. This is the lowest of the low for someone who claims to be so "honest". I loved this video. I'm actually surprised you haven't dealt with Onision before. There have been so many opportunities. lol

  • putting the word adult and Onision in a sentence is absurd. He's a man-child drama queen attention whore. his fan base is immature and his videos cater to them.

  • You know, I can't think of one person that I actually hate. I have ex girlfriends and an ex-wife, and people I've been in physical altercations with, and the only person that comes close enough for me to possibly hate, is this little turd Onision. I watched a few of videos, a couple years ago, and he bored me. Then the drama of last year with "the slut". It's a shame people like that get their 15 minutes (and more) of fame. You should revoke that card too, not just the man card.

  • I need my voice back. You just jacked my whole video--minus the rabbit thing but I have always wondered if someone didn't want to kill, why would they be in the military? Would it be easier to kill a person rather than a rabbit? (and that certainly doesn't help Onision look good or shouldn't anyway.) He ain't right in the head. I could probably diagnose his mental state since I have had the training, but can't legally do it.

  • Video Response recorded and uploading -^_^-

  • Good work, buster!

  • I find it a bit of a pisstake that a little man-child like Onision can make so much money through his YT partnership while others have to work hard for their money...

    But then again... It's probably more of a reflection of his subscriber base.

  • Onision disabled ratings, and comments for the videos you linked. Gee I wonder why would he ever have to do that? lol

  • i couldn't agree more gregie ,good cherry poppin' there ;-)

    <3

  • If someone says they only say or do or express honesty, they are almost by definition full of shit.

  • @MrSamuelSpade to be completely honest I disagree...

    See what I did there? See... Never mind ;-)

  • @FSAthe1st hahaha

  • Onision pressures someone into sex when she did not want it. Yet he calls her a slut.

    Not that I give a shit about the promiscuity issue. When someone has difficulty rejecting sexual advances, its not a promiscuity problem, its a self confidence & self worth problem.

    Yet is Onision supportive? No, exploits that vulnerability and compounds it.

  • Well said sir! It was admirable of you to stick up for this girl. He is a spineless child who doesn't deserve the benefits of being a youtube "star"(for lack of a better word).

  • onisiondrama-tumblr-com/letter­ (replace dashes with dots)

  • I wanted to be a slut... but marriage crushed that dream : (>

  • @deepashtray Oh come on, you can still do it! ;D

  • @deepashtray It's never too late to pursue your dreams!

  • Onision is so preoccupied with his sexual partner count, that when he breaks up with someone, he immediately tries to get back with an ex. This is a bad form of recycling...

  • You pretty much nailed it, man. Nice work.

  • It is unfair to judge people by a few videos they have posted on the internet, but Onision has always seemed like a mentally incredibly immature person, possibly with some sort of psychological problems.

  • Frigging good response. He is not a man.. no man card..

  • Because you seem to be for taking down the 'bad' people. Kicking sand in the child's face.

    I don't know enough to comment on the second half, but you sound like you know your stuff.

  • I really hope I'm not alienated as an .Onision Apologist,' because of your preemptive 'troll' call. But I'll be honest, I'm somewhat biased. I'll try not to be.

    For the first part of your video, you fail to mention how Onision points out the woman in question only had sex with others 3/21 out of love. As you said, it's opinion, and with such opinionated people it's closer to slander than sharing.

    Plus, if you know less about his 'ex' than him, why logically assume she didn't bring it on herself?

  • @Dissruptance If I saw a video with her, degrading him (micro cock, smelly ass good for nothing loser jobless dickless hopeless etc...) Then I'd be pissed at her actions. I don't need to know much about her to know she doesn't deserve the treatment he's giving her, even if she was 100% guilty of all the things he rattled off. I'm unclear what you meant with the 1st part (3/21) I'll need to watch it again, then re-read your point.

  • you always break things down to the bone gristle.

    thumb is up

  • Why would someone pose so many questions in a video and then lock the comments?

    Self validation, Greg?

  • If a girl of legal age of consent chooses to go out on a friday night and have one night stand with a cute boy at the bar or in her Chem class,she isnt a slut for acting upon her sexuality? Say she does it every other weekend after she gets paid. That's 2 different people a month, so in a period of time at a 4 year college, that is roughly 72 guys. I don't see that as too many. Number's are too arbitrary to judge a person, and I personally support any girl adding supply to the sex market.

  • I've met Onision at a YouTube gathering here in Seattle. And while I agree with your assessment of him in principle, I must object to your characterization of him as a "child". He's an ass and a twit, to be sure...but he's not a child.

    A child knows how to have fun, to play games, to make-believe; they are not necessarily petulant and self-centered. Yes, this is a semantic issue I'm taking with your video; I have no problem with your intended message. ;)

  • @BionicDance The label of child can be used in different contexts, as children (among many other things) have a variety of attributes. In some instances, child-like attributes can be a complement. In others, it can be an insult. Sometimes, children are humorous, joyful, and entertaining. Other times they're self-centered brats. I think the context in this video is valid.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance I still object; as someone who revels in the label of "child" in the context which I described, the contradictory double-definition often causes confusion as to what's meant.

    It's kind of the way I object to the use of "vanilla" to describe something as bland or plain; as a vanilla fan, I know the flavor is neither of these things, and instead advocate the use of "whitebread" to describe something as bland.

    The same with "child"; I feel the label is inaccurate and misleading.

  • @BionicDance

    That wouldn't remove the confusion, clear context, or additional explanation are the things which do that.

    What you are suggesting is that it should be used, only in the contexts you don't object to, as though your subjective experience were the only correct one. While you are right to argue that the term can be used both ways, that doesn't support using it only your way.

    Unless you are not objecting to what GI /said/; that is, that it can be used in different contexts.

  • @PurpleGhost I'm not objecting to what is MEANT, only the word used to describe it.

  • @BionicDance

    Yes, but the trouble is, that is essentially objecting to the terms subjective uses.

    To the idea that the term 'child' can be used in more than one way.

    Perhaps, though that is what you are saying? That you do not think 'child', should ever be use in this context?

    I do not see your reasoning if that is the case, however, if it is what you mean, I respect that you probably have a reason for thinking that.

    However, if it doesn't allow for subjective experience, I object.

  • @PurpleGhost I think we need separate terms to avoid these kinds of dual (and contradictory) meanings. Like, instead of "child" use "immature", perhaps, or "unsophisticated", or even just "rude". There are plenty of other terms to use which would not disparage a child-like nature in the wonder-and-fun sense.

  • @BionicDance Why should anyone care what you prefer in this instance? Especially on a semantically issue?

  • @VarmitCoyote Oh, because I'm the uncontested ruler of the universe and my word is law, obviously. ;)

    Heh,

  • @BionicDance It seems you're advocating for the demolition of metaphors, because people have different people connotations of the literal thing being used as a point of comparison. That doesn't make sense to me. Should I object to the use of calling King Richard "A Lion" because some people find literal lions to be frightening, some consider them lazy, and some consider them powerful? I think the context of the metaphor gives us enough room to interpret it's meaning, a PR provided here.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance I'm not advocating for the demolition of metaphors, I'm advocating for using metaphors which have only a single application, or at least not a contradictory application.

    This isn't about using metaphors; that's fine. It's about how they're applied and to whom. Using the word "child" as you've done is, frankly, insulting to actual children AND is insulting to those of us who value an innocent and fun-loving child-like demeanor. Surely there is a better word for what you mean.

  • @BionicDance I suppose that any children who are insulted by the popular metaphor some a suborn, immature person acting "childish" will be flooding this comment section very soon. Did you, as an adult really find PR's metaphor to be an insult to all children, or to say that Children always act in that one way. I'm surprised by your linear way of thinking on what seems like such a trivial, semantic issue.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance Oh, come now...I think you're blowing this out of proportion. All I'm saying is that I, personally, find the word "child" being used this way to be an unfair characterization of actual children. And that I, as a chronological adult but one who feels more like a child than an adult psychologically--in the innocent and sense-of-wonder departments, specifically--DO feel mildly insulted by it.

    It'd be like if people unfairly said all lesbians are man-haters, so I must be one too.

  • @BionicDance If PR was talking about all children in this instance, I'd be completely on board with you, and I'd disagree with a claim that all children behave in a certain way. I'm not, however, disturbed, confused, or insulted by his metaphor of child vs adult being used to demonstrate immature vs. mature. Language is flexible enough to account for that without people needing to be insulted by it. If you prefer to be offended, however, I won't stand in your way.

  • @GrapplingIgnorance But, see, he didn't have to INTEND to talk about all children to end up hitting all children with a careless phrasing. And it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to go looking for a way to express the same sentiment without using terminology that characterizes one sub-set of humanity as being bad in some way. I mean, heck, calling Onision a "brat" would kill two birds with one stone: still use a child analogy, but specify BAD children. Easy, easy.

  • @BionicDance

    I disagree, with the premise of your statement.

    I do not think he DID "hit up all children", I do not think is a fair assmuption to make, that every statment, unless specified includes all members of the group discussed.

    No. That just doesn't work in so many ways.

    So that means he'd have to have specified 'all children', but wait -did he make some inclusive statement where he mentioned 'all' children? no.

    So unless you make that assumption, then no, he didn't.

  • @PurpleGhost He called Onision a child because of his bratty qualities; the implication is the "child" equals "obnoxious brat". There was no distinction between children who are bratty and children who are not; the set called "children" is characterized by those who are bratty by the phrasing of the description.

    That's how these things work; without a definitive distinction made, the words he used implied that all children fit the criteria he specified.

  • @BionicDance

    If this were a topic, where I thought that people were likely to believ,e that a single implied trait could characterize the whole group, I would be agreeing with you. However I do not think, that anyone is going to be confused into thinking, that /all/ children are bratty.

    Everyone was a child once, and unless they believed themselves to have fit that stereotype (another issue unto itself) they are not going to mistakenly assume this.

    The distinction isn't necessary.

  • @PurpleGhost I think the distinction IS necessary...if I called you a child right now, said you were behaving like a child, what would your assumption be? What would I be saying about you? How would you tell that's what I meant, and not something else?

  • @BionicDance Oh my fucking god...

  • @BionicDance You are unreasonable for thinking it is necessary.
