The thing about cultural appropriation is, If you get rid of all instances of it, you have isolated 'this race only' culture, which is horrifyingly racist.

@therealquade 9 лет назад

This Exists what the hell are you on about. I'm literally saying that cultural appropriation ISN'T a problem, and that actually working to get rid of it, IS a problem because of what any so-called solution would result in. what exactly are you trying to say dude? your reaction to this seriously comes out of left field and doesn't make any sense. --edit I can't tell if you're trying to say that I'm saying something like that, if you're agreeing and being sarcastic, or what, because... you know... poe's law. and sarcasm not being a part of text.

@thisexists 9 лет назад

therealquade Sorry - definitely sarcasm. I thought you made a good point. Tone can be tough.

@therealquade 9 лет назад

This Exists I always tend to cringe whenever I hear anyone talk about 'cultural appropriation' since it's pretty much always stated as "a bad thing", but people never consider the consequences of not having it. and..... it gets to me some times, y'a know? it's literally a first-world-problem. culture and cultural appropriation are variety, and variety is the spice of life... well, that and spice, but oh no cultures include combinations of spices. only tangentially related, but when the hell did things get like this?

@CCAndPinkie 9 лет назад

therealquade Speaking as someone of two different cultures, I don't see what the problem is...This clearly is nothing like blackface, If people are getting uppity about a brittish man creating his own style of rap, They need a more serious issue to get angry about, I hear White Slavery in Africa is a big thing right now, So are minority shootings here in America, That's really huge right now... Did they ever find that Missing Malaysian flight?

@kryptomanik 9 лет назад

So what do you think of cultural appropriation that's meant to mock other cultures?

Hipster is a replacement word for generic insults. Nothing more to it. Amusing video. I can't believe.... this exists.

@Suiseisexy 9 лет назад

SlamifiedBuddafied Nope. You get called a hipster because you are one. Sorry you had to find out this way.

@SlamifiedBuddafied 9 лет назад

Suiseisexy lol. Point proven.

@Pause0 9 лет назад

SlamifiedBuddafied not true there is a very obvious point where someone becomes a hipster... and i hate to say but if you can't see it you probably are one.

@SlamifiedBuddafied 9 лет назад

tcooke2 Not true, there is a very obvious point when the definition of various words becomes not only skewed but bastardized. I hate to say it, but if you can't understand that you should pay attention to he evolution of language.

@Pause0 9 лет назад

yes language obviously evolves but firstly that's not what you said, you said it is a replacement word for insults. so how am i supposed to know that. secondly i do not believe it has reached that point yet at least when i see it it seems like a pretty accurate description of the subject (like the host, i would say he dresses like a hipster).

SHIT STORM IMMINENT! EVACUATE COMMENT SECTION!

@VGDocs 9 лет назад

This video was particularly good... with the exception of the end. Just awkward and clearly out of oversensitivity. Still, it was a really good video overall so I do have to give props for that.

@congrilla- 9 лет назад

Trogdor8freebird I love how that what he did is being ovesrsensitive but complaining in the comments is just par for the course for MRAs.

@RMarsupial 9 лет назад

How is it oversensitive? It was an attack... if he were being overly sensitive he would have attempted to placate the MRAs...

@EvelynDayless 9 лет назад

It was a very simple response. If it was oversensitivity he would have had a much larger response.

@welwitschia 9 лет назад

"Oversensitive"? The ending was a fantastic display of disdain for MRAs and all their idiocy. It was as good of a 'fuck you' as anything else, perfectly portraying what everyone thinks about these douchebags.

@a2aaron 9 лет назад

*****OP's point is not that MRAs is good, they're not. OP's point is that a disscusion about MRAs does not belong in a video about unbeatable games or chap-hop. Those go in the MRA/anti-MRA videos, not This Exists.

@mintpalmer 9 лет назад

I don't necessarily feel that all rap by people who aren't black is inappropriate, but it's very important to be respectful to the culture and it's history. I think you touched on that in this episode. As for Mr. B... I think it's fine to be honest - it's using the medium in a different way, and I think that's pretty cool. He's not trying to upstage black musicians, he's going down a completely different path.

@thisexists 9 лет назад

mxgabsy He also has an amazing song that spends two minutes reading as typically dodgy white criticism of "hip-hop culture" before flipping in the last line. Ultimately what really sold me on his whole schtick as legit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FkES4anCYOw.html

@crazypuppypoker 9 лет назад

This Exists damn, i'm still not too much of a fan of the sound of chap-hop, but that rap was really good

@jamietie 9 лет назад

I think that's exactly right. There's a difference between taking a piece of culture entirely out of context (white folks with bindis, for example) or using it as a prop (Native American headdresses) versus someone who obviously respects and understands something giving a genre a different spin.

@killer604 5 лет назад

But eh I mean white people did invent poetry and lots of ral artist say rape is po or try with music so there for they first appropriated the white people

@christophergibbs2616 9 лет назад

This whole video was excellent (as always), but that last bit made me choke on my drink. I laughed so hard that I literally had to leave the room. And as a child of the 90's, your use of the word "salty" to bust on a group was not lost on me. Fantastic!

@MrPunkerMcmetal 9 лет назад

Hey, thanks for cranking out these videos. I've gotten the opportunity to learn about a lot of really fringe cultures, a fucking dream for a young Sociology major. Thank you especially for the links you leave us, makes it so much easier to pursue any of the subjects. On a personal note, thank you for the typically muted sense of bias these subjects are presented in. The calm and reasonable way you touch on the opposing viewpoints of topics is refreshing to say the least, though when bias does shine through I'm typically right there with ya. I can never wait for the next videos, thanks again and keep up the good work.

@thisexists 9 лет назад

MrPunkerMcmetal Glad you find them useful! And thank - "muted sense of bias" is what I've tried to articulate to anyone shocked by the occasional pseudo-political comment. I mean, I'm standing in front of a wall of D.O.A. and Minor Threat posters.

@MrPunkerMcmetal 9 лет назад

Hey now, at first half the fun was looking through that very backdrop."Pseudo-political" is all in the execution, and it's done just as well as the occasional venture into "pseudo-philosophical" territory. If you're ever struggling for content could I suggest more informal opinion videos? I'm not gona pretend to know the kind of prep work and scrip drafting that goes on each week, but my only complaint about the channel is that I'm always left wanting more. This would give you guys a chance to explore previous topics that had commentary or implications which had to be cut short. It could also help demonstrate what subjects viewers want more of with a little more clarity than just subs and views. Though it seems the channel has found a pretty consistent tone.

@maddhatter6551 9 лет назад

Ur welcome. I didn't even know he was releasing an album but he had an hour special on Comedy Central for it. He does all kinds of music. Rap, country, rock, basically any kind what would fit well with whatever lyrics he wrote. At least it seems for some songs makes the music on what the lyrics of the song are

Oh my god that was adorable XD the MRA tears bit was just the literal icing on the cake in this video. Oh goodness, you are amazing, my friend! And thank you ever so much for introducing me into a genre of music I can enjoy to fuck out of. I've been neck deep in electro-swing music as of late, and hearing about Chap Hop just, makes me need to lose myself in this too. You are an excellent human being and I adore you to pieces!

@kieranemcgarry 9 лет назад

That MRA tears bit at the end was beautiful. I am so sad I don't know how to make gifs because like....if anything deserves to be gifed out of this video that's it. Thank you for existing ;)

@dementious 8 лет назад

MRA is a joke movement making fun of the hypocrisy and hostility within fourth wave feminism. FYI. maybe i'm tardy to this party. I really came here for Professor Elemental.

@CheffBryan 8 лет назад

+the deadtroll Fourth wave? Already? I was still under the impression that the third wave was the Tumblrites, Anita Sarkeesian's, and all the other non-progressives that misinterpreted 1984 in its entirety. Both the prof and Mr. B are awesome. With any luck, the mannerisms and sharp dress of ages past can be revived.

@mahatmakanejeeves3706 8 лет назад

+the deadtroll It isn't a joke movement. Check out Red Pill on Reddit. These people are not joking.

@dementious 8 лет назад

+Boo Radley The only people that call other people beta's are usually beta by their own definition. You're taking that seriously?

@mahatmakanejeeves3706 8 лет назад

the deadtroll If you think all these guys are just joking around by spending a major portion of their lives bitching about women on the internet, you are incredibly naive.

@Ibarakify 8 лет назад

I think you're incredibly naive to honestly believe that most people don't spend the majority of their lives bitching online and not being particularly serious. The internet is basically the collective soapbox of the world for everyone to whine and complain on.

@robert2754 9 лет назад

I am so glad you went back & did your old bit were you talked about the comments though it was weird & funny but mostly weird & you just drank noisily but I think it was your discussion of the comments that I liked best about the show when I first found it. It made your show feel very well rounded & made it stand out from other show on RU-vid I hope you bring it back.

@cjlwhite1 7 лет назад

Music in itself, no matter the genre, is never racist. Its what people turn music into, or what an individual says or does that becomes racism. For example country music isn't racist. Country music talking about white supremacy in a positive light IS racist. Its just one of those cases where there are two extremes that wont see the logical truth of the matter. There are "we have the right to be racist so that makes it okay" individuals, and the "everything is cultural appropriation" individuals. Both are wrong for obvious reasons. One way to combat the "everything is cultural appropriation" is by simply asking if they eat spaghetti, hamburgers, chinese food, or if they drink tea, coffee, or any form of alcohol not invented by their specific race. Most of the time they will say "well that doesnt count" which is when you should reply, "Oh so you get to decide what counts?"

@djiinraidinnae 9 лет назад

Delightful. I think I need some tea rap in my life, just to completely round off my interest in tasty beverages. Call me a hipster for saying I like this, but I just think it's comedic fun... and I'm willing to admit that I literally just learned about this sub-genre through this video. Also, that ending made me cry actual tears, I laughed so hard. I think I was going to comment last time, since video games are kind of my thing, but I caught a glimpse of the comments section and thought "this is no place for a reasonable person. I just wanted to talk about video games."

@MastaMultibass 9 лет назад

@WGSXFrank 9 лет назад

Chap-hop has been a favorite genre of mine for years. I think the biggest point to take form Chap-hop is that it's about pure fun. The music is very light-hearted, up beat, and (for the most part) generally clean. Mind you, I'm a fan of many genres of music. Hip-hop, R&B, Metal, Rock, etc. But Chap-hop has honestly taken over in my car during long drives. I even live-stream gameplay while listening to Professor Elemental (with his permission of course). That actually leads me to another aspect of Chap-Hop I love. Most of the well known chap-hop artists are genuinely friendly and love fan interaction. It's an aspect the seems to be lost in many genres these days.

@TheKtwStudios 6 лет назад

Dude, as someone who is Black, "Left-leaning," and all that other jazz, Chap Hop is *Not racist at all.* it's not cultural appropriation. Its Cultural Osmosis. Appropriation is when another culture takes from a marginalized culture and misrepresents/trivializes their existence and struggle. Cultural Osmosis is basically when 2 cultures come together and influence one another to make new art, which is *exactly what chap hop is.*

@DarthSears 9 лет назад

Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer is one of my favorite variants of the Chap-Hop, as well as Chap-Step artists I've ever heard. And to maintain a mustache of any sort is really a right pain in the rear.
