Source: Asmongold Subreddit
As seen in the video, the user hovers their cursor over the thumbnail, showing (presumably) the original thumbnail for a second, where the woman has less cleavage visible.
“I thought maybe it was edited like this intentionally for some reason but her clothes change completely when you hover the preview and this entire thumb seems to be AI generated to begin with. The perspective is all kinds of fucked up if you look at the left wall corner compared to the door. If YouTube did this by itself, this is some of the most dystopian shit I’ve ever seen, lmao.”
This really concerned me (though not as much as grok’s latest feature) so i figured i should post it here to see if anyone has other examples of it happening, and raise awareness. Stay meaty.
Not every source are vile pieces of shit who, among other things, make a living off of harassing trans people and calling for their death openly.
Does that change the facts of the matter?
It changes the fact that I had to see Asmongold against my will, and seeing his face is worse than a 40 second advertisement.
I’m sorry, that must have been really traumatic for you.
Yeah for the people that Asmongold attacks, it is potentially traumatic, Asmongold is a dangerously hateful person, that is his whole identity as a rightwing edgelord.
If the sight of someone you don’t like traumatizes you, you should probably stay off the internet.
I’m happy for you that your life and conditions makes it so you don’t have to deal with these kinds of things. As a transfeminine person however, yeah, I am not happy seeing the face of someone who constantly spews hatred towards me for simply existing. It does affect me. It’s a constant reminder that this hatred against me, that discrimination and transphobia is everywhere and absolutely inescapable, which is something I’m already plainly aware of and don’t need reminders of.
Obviously, seeing Asmongold doesn’t bothers you, and good for you I guess. However, seeing that someone is posting here, using this awful person’s subreddit as a source for things, meaning they apparently browse the thing, yeah, it makes me pause. It makes me see how fucking banal and normalized this guy, who represents and Incarnate an ideology that is an existential threat to my safety and rights, has become. And it makes me feel uneasy and less safe in these internet spaces.
I do deal with them. Every day. People are spewing hatred at me in these very comments. Life is not sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes you’re going to see people you don’t like. And you’re gonna have to learn to deal with it like the rest of us.
There is a difference between seeing people you don’t like and seeing people who are using their platforms and making a living off of trying to destroy yours.
Hey lazy asshole in the wheelchair, I walk up these stairs everyday. There are stairs everywhere, you have to learn how to deal with them just like I do. Why is empathy so hard for some people? Everyone experiences reality differently, more equity and inclusivity is never a bad thing.
Asmongold looks perfectly fine, it isn’t the sight of them that traumatizes people it is the actions, words and ideology he traffics in with such a large public megaphone that makes him traumatizing to people.
He really doesn’t look fine. He looks like he’d smell like poop.
Well there’s none of that here so I dunno what you’re on about.
What I am on about is underlining the fact that toxic rightwing ideologues like Asmongold are given platforms everywhere else except here so that we can all agree to do everything we can to stop here from becoming like those other places.
