My first deep dive video into my thoughts on the low points of The Last of Us Season 2! This was supposed to be made last year but things got super busy so I do apologise. The show has been on my mind a long time since its release, and I felt I couldn't get all my thoughts out when my original reactions came out so I really enjoyed putting this discussion together.
Excited to do more videos like this in future! Leave your thoughts down below about the season or any feedback about this new style of video!
How do you deal with instances where you see other Vmin shippers spreading misinformation in aid of our ship? I haven’t yet come across anything, that was clearly manipulated, but rather seemed to be based on a misunderstanding of the situations in question. Most of the time it’s just blowing minor things out of proportion. Still, it makes me uneasy and I find myself wanting to clarify things, but I don’t, because it ultimately feels like a fruitless endeavour.
Most of the time (because it happens quite a lot) I try to explain shortly that they seem to have misunderstood. Because as you say, I think people misunderstand and then that misunderstanding spreads as truth.
I think the most common one with Vmin is that they were high school friends, which is true, but then people assumed that meant they knew each other before joining Big Hit. Which isn’t true. Taehyung was already a trainee and knew all the other members before Jimin. When Jimin came to Seoul and became a trainee he transferred to the same school as Tae. So he got to the dorm and became a trainee and then he started going to school with Taehyung and they became really close friends. But they wouldn’t have met and become high school friends if Jimin hadn’t gotten through at the Big Hit audition. So, things like that tend to show up. Nothing really harmful, but not true either.
Sadly as you say it can sometimes feel like a fruitless endeavour and a hopeless task, but if I can I still try to clarify things if I can.
There is a saying that goes like this:
“The rumor has already run a lap around the world when the truth has finished putting on their shoes.“
And it’s so true, especially when it’s something you want to believe. And so false rumors spread and becomes well known “facts”. Mostly it’s rather harmless, but it’s still bothering me when other vmin shippers use false things to hype vmin. Because there is so much good stuff that is real. I think people really need to learn how to fact check more properly and realize that sometimes it’s really difficult to get a confirmed source at all.
This is also one of the reasons I think “analysis videos” can sometimes be harmful because you present your moments as facts, and often manipulate how they look like by cutting away things, zooming in or removing sounds etc. Basically taking things out of context and creating your own explanation and presenting it not as an opinion or interpretation but as “this is how it is” kind of moment.
I try to be very clear when I talk about my own interpretations to not make it seem like it’s a fact. Often it can be really difficult to know when something is a rumor and when things are confirmed, and personally I always try to find the source. But I am sure some of the things I say can be based on false rumors sometimes too, because so many talk about them and the sources are basically impossible to find sometimes. But yeah, if I see a definite false statement about Vmin, I usually try to tell them politely.
Thanks for the ask. This is actually a huge problem when a fandom gets as big as ARMY. But I still think we should all try to spread real info and try to be as source critical as possible. :) <3
okay i finally edited and uploaded this video i had in my files for 2 weeks and i'm lowkey late to the party BUT i did a little bit of an "in depth" analysis on #diy's break up (and by analysis i rlly just stated my opinion on it) if y'all could check the video out and give me some feedback, i'd rlly appreciate it !!!
Can we fucking stop with all these USUM analysis videos about how Nintendo is working in the D&P remake? It gets fucking annoying and old real quick. Appreciate the fact that Nintendo is giving us new content and move the fuck on. Nintendo will make a remake but not anytime soon. We just need to be patient and give the new content a try, rather than to bash on it for not getting what we want.
If i see another fucking hour long video that is just the creator running down the entire plot of X thing here. An not actually adding any analytical opinions or commentary about the material, I'm going to lose my mind.
STOP MAKING HOUR LONG VIDEO JUST READING ME OR RESAYING THE CONTENT I ALREADY KNOW I WANT THEORIES YOU HACKS
Everyone saw Hbomberguy do it and missed the key fucking ingredient. Actual opinons and thoughts!
