John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17
To my eternal shame, there are comments that I posted on this website when I thought this guy was cool. TAA couldn't be more of an ass clown if he and seven other guys, all wearing big floppy shoes and fake red noses, climbed out of somebody's ass.
REAL athiests do not like this guy. Here's an article about TAA on an athiest-friendly site.

Here's a quote:
"I think we should give the guy who raped you a medal. I hope you fucking drown in rape semen, you ugly, mean-spirited cow."
I love that he threw in a "mean-spirited". For me, that really pushes it over the top.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17 Well, that's all true, of course, but this guy uses atheism to market himself to teenage boys who think they're being rebellious. If you're going to publicly market yourself by a philosophy, you ought to have some kind of real philosophy or you're a big fat poser. I don't think this guy has any special relationship with rational thought. If he's the Amazing Athiest, he really should.

"Why has Amanda Todd become everybody's favorite tragedy? I don't know."
He doesn't know!
Amanda Todd became well known because, shortly before she died, she made a compelling youtube video in which she told her whole story. It would have taken this stinking turd with a goatee attached three minutes to learn about this if he could manage to develop the necessary intellectual curiosity.
For some people, not knowing the first thing about the case would have been an impediment to droning on and on and on about the "astonishing moral hypocrisy" of giving a shit.

Dude put a banana up his ass on a webcam. So, yeah... that happened.

IrishWhiskey - 2012-11-17 Which is far less embarrassing than this clip.

Macho Nacho - 2012-11-17 I hate TAA with every fiber of my being, but I gotta hand it to the guy he did handle the whole "Banana Scandal" pretty well.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17 He shoved a bannana up his ass? This is the most endearing thing I've ever heard about TAA. Why?

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17 The banana incident seems weirdly similar to the story of Amanda Todd, the teenage girl whose suicide was getting too much attention to suit him. She was convinced by a troll to flash her its at a webcam, and the pictures were used to harass and blackmail her.

dairyqueenlatifah - 2012-11-17 According to him it was "a girl he knew" that he did the banana video for, but I'm more than confident it was the same kind of "girl" (read: troll) as the ones that talked Chris-Chan into doing similar shit on camera again and again.
He responded to it in the best way I can possibly think of though. A calm collected "I don't give a shit, it's not like I have a reputation or any image of dignity to uphold anyway."
I honestly don't know enough about him to like or hate him. But it appears he's got a lot of people, fellow atheists and otherwise, who want to see him burned at the stake, so he must be some kind of douche in those hundreds of videos he's made that I've never watched.
I didn't watch this one either.

Macho Nacho - 2012-11-17 John Holmes Motherfucker, the person who blackmailed Amanda Todd wasn't so much a troll, but a pedophile who happens to be a part of a larger group of pedophiles that have done this to dozen of other underage victims.

Sudan no1 - 2012-11-17 There's also the fact Todd was twelve when she was trolled, and this guy's around thirty years old.

Shitty video about shitty youtuber, I hate everything about this.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17
What I love about this video is that it was originally 8 minutes long.

He's a man with opinions. How is this any different from Rush Limbaugh? Like him or don't, listen to him or don't hit play.
|
Blue - 2012-11-17 Soo... we're not supposed to have our own opinions about his opinions? We're fucking qualified.
It's not like he's Pamperchu. Most of us actually aren't qualified to determine if he's doing diaper fetish videos right. That dude could be the sexiest gay diaper fetishist alive, and we wouldn't fucking know. It's creepy, because his work cannot be truly appreciated without a diaper fetish.
TAA is talking about shit in the real world. We're all a part of that, and we're all fucking qualified to critique his opinion on the world.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17 The thing is, if you take him seriously, you're taking him too seriously. It's hard not to get mad because he's JUST SO LOATHESOME YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT! You go over it in your head, out of sheer amazement. You have to step back.
In the comments, the bullies and misogynists are flocking to him, but they're going to have to flock to someone.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-18 MilkShark has a point. The internet is never going to be free of stupid people. Avoiding TAA's idiocy is a valid way to avoid aggravation.
Looking for the banana stroy, I found that TAA has its own forum, and it's filled with yet more teenage boys who want to be cold-hearted badasses, but they're really empty-headed assholes.
>>Really? We should get rid of anything that is possibly related to natural selection? We have to fuck with nature this much? Let's be obsessed with the fact that pussies that weren't able to adapt to the real world kill themselves? Let's not give a fuck about genes and adaptation skills. Those are not fluffy enough. Liking a facebook page and acting morally superior is much better. FFS, it's 2012, kids have access to the internet. You can't shelter them. It's impossible. Even if you do and your kid first experiences the real internet when he is 18, he'll get fucked up. Imagine experiencing all the insults, all the gore, all the porn, everything all at once. Adapt or die (in this case).
Stupid children. Bullies telling themselves that bullying is noble.
I believe in more civilized, humane internet communities Social scientists maintain that over the centuries, society becomes kinder and more just, more attentive to the rights of minorities. The sensitive people are the creative people. Protecting them allows society to advance, to be richer, to have a larger bank of skiils to solve its problems. This is evolution.
I'd like to work for more humane communities, but there's got to be a smarter way to do it than to get into flame wars with the dumbest of the dumb.
A lot of this is going to be handled by technology. Moderating the internet isn't done, because effective moderation would be labor intensive, i.e., expensive, but sites with business models will learn that excluding people who aren't coldhearted badasses is also expensive. Technology will make self-policing of sites more efficient.
Or maybe not. Either way, why waste precious hours thinking about banana boy?

Hi, I'm a gross fat virgin that tries to make myself seem much more intelligent and sophisticated than I actually am by making videos in which I paraphrase the work of better people than me who actually contribute something of worth to the humanist/rationalist/atheist community, but ultimately I couldn't give a shit about any of those issues for real, I just would like to develop a sheep-like cult of personality to acclaim my every move, even when it means threatening sexual assault on teenagers because they disagree with me.
Yours in Christ,
Amazing Atheist

I can't believe I use to like this guy. Now I see him for who he truely is a fucking youtube tool who only cares about viewers.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-11-17
I think I may post similar videos, short stuff. I want to try to tweak TAA without ranting or indulging in tedious logical arguments. Please don't be annoyed with me, just vote it down if you don't like it.

Syd Midnight - 2012-11-23 Just say something positive about Rebecca Watson or skepchick.org, and put his name in the subject tags. That oughta do it.
