Some people are assholes.

Another example of how people deal with harassment, by their fans, that they didn’t intend and don’t want. And this response is just for mild harassment – some hostile replies.
Here’s the video by the person who got attacked:

They point out that the people attacking them are mostly woke Gen Zers who are bigoted against fat people.
interesting video.
i wonder if the culture will view fat suits one day kinda like it views blackface today. probably not, cuz i think race gets super special treatment and don’t think that will change, but u know, interesting to think about. like maybe people wearing fat suits in roles now are setting themselves up for future cancellation
I don’t think race gets really special treatment in this regard. Blackface is particularly taboo. But people also have issues with straight people playing gay roles, cis people playing trans roles, neurotypical people playing autistic roles, able-bodied people playing disabled roles, etc.
One of their arguments is that there are more roles for able-bodied, straight, white, cis, heterosexual people than anything else, especially main roles. So it is hard for people in any other group to find roles at all. It makes it even harder for them when all of the roles that are actually written for them are also just given to straight, white, etc, people.
I think at this point there isn’t anything that’s “safe”. Everything could be setting yourself up for future cancellation, if cancel culture continues. People are being retroactively cancelled for things they said or did 20 years ago that were perfectly social acceptable or even progressive at the time.

Two primary reasons:
- Core behavioral economics findings have been failing to replicate for several years, and the core finding of behavioral economics, loss aversion, is on ever more shaky ground.
- Its interventions are surprisingly weak in practice.
Was it ever good? Looking at it over the last several years seems so caught up in the trees and missing the forest.
And if the core claim doesn’t replicate now, it was never right.

There are many anecdotes of big companies (also individuals, particularly people who are trying to build a following) copying people’s stuff without credit.

I’ve noticed other channels doing this. I did some FB advertising and split testing in 2015/6 and since then have wondered why it’s not a default feature on YT (like, google has that stuff in google ads, and they might even support some forms of it for YT ads). It seems like creators are basically manually doing something like A/B-testing-come-p-hacking as a workaround.
