The problem with Elektronaut Youtubers

The problem with Elektronaut YouTubers is that my tube is not electric.

I used to own two deck chairs I found in a skip. Those were the days.

I don’t understand any of the above words but it sounds awesome and I long for the good ol’ days as well

The problem with Elektronaut Youtubers is that…

Oh, I thought you were going to say “… they all seem to only make techno” and I came in here to see a bloodbath.

Damn you had me at the title and you didn’t disappoint.

Be patient, buddy. Science is going to catch up, sooner or later

ElektroTuber YouNauts aren’t all bad. Just 97% of them.

I hear they all use DAW’s anyway.

I do seriously love this forum. So much quality underground music being made across the spectrum of genres. Nice work, gang!

I think there’s a big conspiracy going on with Elektronauts YouTubers. None have an episode on flags!

Didn’t you get your account banned for saying the same thing in several threads yesterday.

m0ld · 2024-02-22T20:33:49.835Z

Oh boy, am I about to witness a ban-evasion-ban in realtime? Three thoughts immediately spring to mind:

1: it’s not my problem and should probably be handled privately if possible.
2: show proof of bullying or nobody has any reason to believe this (yes, this contradicts Thought 1).
3: Is the internet extra grumpy? This is like the third time I’ve seen some kind of intense interpersonal drama today. Two of those instances involve Discord, which is unsurprising.

m0ld · 2024-02-22T21:21:07.257Z

Two things:

First, I appreciate the context, assuming it’s all accurate. This isn’t exactly proof. I’m not int he discord, don’t pay for the patreon, etc. However, I’m genuinely unsure if it’s wise to air all this publicly, on this forum, particularly without explicit, hard evidence. This all feels like it’s a bit too much hedging toward some kind of character assassination/ cross-platform bickering/ off-topic or some other sort of grey area or forum rule-break. Again, not my beef or necessarily my business. I have no issue with you, or them, as I wasn’t there. However…

Second: If you genuinely can’t see how a tired, played out, sexist joke may not be welcome in an inclusive community, you may want to take a step back and think about if it’s even a community you should/could/want to engage with anyway. I fully see the point the moderator made, I agree with it, and in their position I would likely respond similarly. This doesn’t exactly paint you in a good light either.

At the risk of straying way too far off-topic, I also need to mention this specifically:

jericho:

The compassion and empathy that @Kinga and their community receive from, in their words, “cishet males” is being eroded away by this type of behavior. It’s a bad look for their community. It’s a blatant double standard: Don’t mention having a wife because that triggers “me”, but I’m going to force my gender identity in YOUR face….

They are not reponding to the mere mention of a wife in a joke, but to the sexism implied (if not outright perpetuated) by jokes of the “well I need to hide [hobby] from The Wife” and other “Wife Bad, heh heh heh” types of jokes. It’s played out, it alienates women, it’s way too common in nerdy communities and it’s just not funny or even remotely clever. If the only thing it takes to “erode the compassion and empathy from cishet males” is that trans people have a strong distaste for jokes whose only punchline is outdated stereotypes, gender roles, and attitudes towards women, then I’d question whether that “empathy and compassion” existed toward us in the first place.

mpiecora · 2024-02-22T21:25:33.981Z

You totally nailed it. Well said. <3

schoolbabyboy · 2024-02-22T21:47:43.825Z

you gotta log off dude, its the only solution to your dilemma

Zijnvolt · 2024-02-22T21:48:20.856Z

All communities have their own values and threshold of what is ok and what is not. This one simply didn’t work out so time to move on as there are no winners here.

Zijnvolt · 2024-02-22T21:55:54.726Z

Great, then it’s all settled. Hope you feel better after airing your grief and can focus on some positive things that bring joy rather than annoyance.

Hey Hey Hey now. You’re not subscribed to my channel….

I missed the drama but just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I can’t stand the “my wife” jokes either. They were never funny.

The courage to say what at least six of us think!
