When I run into this video, I thought they were making a bit, then they doubled and tripled down on this shit take.

modern society causes autism, autism is just what happens to your brain when you grow up without going outside or having friends you watch cartoons like my little pony friendship is magic and go into Google at 12 and find pornography of it your brain chemistry is rewired and the rest of your life your drawing imitations of the stuff that you saw imprinted on to your mind as a child. I think that autism is caused by environmental factors."

Vaush unironically thinks you can exercise your way out of ASD and ADHD.

I don't follow Vaush but his videos pop-up into my recommendations now and then so I might play them as background noise when gaming sometimes. Today I find out that's they're just like Musk in this regard; they sound knowledgeable on subjects I personally don't know much about (US politics), but when they decide to be confidently utterly wrong about things I know about, that's when I know they've been full of shit on everything.

Holy shit that take was legit infuriating.

Jeez, those are some truly boomer takes, like listening to my dad say he doesn't believe depression exists.
Of course autism isn't nurture. And just the fact that "uppers" in general make ADHD more manageable should say all there is to say about that, just simply different brains.

Ah yes, autism is caused by Pony Porn.

Fortunately mentally stable vaush only partakes in sacred horse porn.

"Porn causes autism"

y i k e s

I don't generally follow any video influencers or whatever the fuck we call these people, but they pretty invariably seem to get high on the smell of their own shit over time.

I don't get what value there is in listening to his takes. Online pundits are a dime a dozen, there's bound to be some left that don't have repulsive aspects to their personality... probably... possibly...

Just be mindful of your Gell-Mann amnesia, you don't know what else he's been completely off base about that you didn't have the knowledge to identify.

That's exactly the thing, by being so confidently wrong, he proves you can't take him at his word on anything

[-] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

Heard about their problematic takes before I ever came across any of their videos, so I didn't even bother, but holy shit, that's a bad take.

Watch how loads of "progressive" folks continue supporting them because they don't see ableism as a real issue worth taking seriously..🙄

Only positive of this is that the comments are absolutely raking them over the coals about it.

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 12 points 1 day ago

Why engage with their videos at all?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I mean who doesn't have 47 minutes to devote to something they despise? /s

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I kinda agree.

Giving them more views tells the algo to boosts their visibility. As does having an active comment section. This results in a feedback loop where controversy leads to engagement which increases revenue which incentivizes more controversy.

This is the same reason you don't engage with trolls.

What a bunch of noise. Why listen to people with such a pronounced case of poo brain?

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I call him “Vaush Limbaugh,” since he’s just Rush Limbaugh for millennials.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

Vaush is an ignorant bully who I frequently agree with, which is concerning to me. I don’t know how anyone can watch him for more than a few minutes though. His personality is so repugnant. Why is he one of the most prominent libertarian socialist content creators and what does this say about the movement?

[-] beliquititious 6 points 1 day ago

Libertarianism is anrachism for people who don't read.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

I’m not sure if you’re lost or just don’t understand the definition of libertarian I’m using. Anarchists are libertarians, but they and the broader libertarian socialist movement are very different from the right libertarians you may be imagining.
