SHANKS | VLR.gg

Everyone is complaining abut how dogshit the soop chat was (very true) but no one is mentioning or acknowledging that legit 80% of the freaks in that stream were from shanks' chat/community...

like dude is dying laughing, talking about how hilarious the chat is and asking if he can pull it up on his stream while they are spamming slurs and shit about SAing kyedae (the chat wasnt even mentioning kyedae or tenz like that until he started talking about them btw).

Then when he stops watching chat becomes so much more normal I legit thought they added mods lol

i get the chat reflects the streamer but holy fck

babysasuke, stop baiting for once.

shanks saw the tenz clip and keeps defending his chat. I mean the shit in soop chat was horrible.
there's a line between edgy dark humour and degeneracy.

Yeah lowkey the same for me. Like I watched him a lot most of the year just cause I got gifted a sub and thought he was funny when he would duo with s0m but as of recently, him and his chat has been lowkey weird af so I stopped watching him.

But I do think it's mainly his chat that are the weird ones.

ok but the soop chat is just what ANY unmoderated sports game chat looks like. Have u ever been in a pirated boxing stream, soccer stream, football stream. Its not shanks fault at all

yeah it was just a total coincidence that the chat was spamming based on what he said and were named after him...

and it wasnt fine after first map, it was fine after first MATCH, when he stopped watching lol (btw its obviously not 100% him, thats why i said 80%)

also every time ive every watched pirated streams chat is either dead asf or has like 2-5 ppl being racist, not thousands of ppl being freaks

Ok maybe yall were watching shanks but i was just reading the chat and it looked like political and racist shit, same shit i see on boxing streams, and for you last point that depends if ur pirated stream is popular,

ur so real for the boxing stream comment

literally any boxing/ufc fight stream its the exact same shit

in fact this is what the entire internet was like pre 2014/2015ish and they're trying to scapegoat shanks for it 😂

I don't necessarily think that it's trying to scapegoat shanks but more just kind of the shift that offensive doesn't equal funny. And that while dark humor can exist and be funny there's an obvious line. Yes it is easy to point to other examples/other people that are worse or how it was common in earlier ages of internet, but I think it is more that people who enable it (i.e. Shanks in this case) only contribute to the matter. Whether it means Shanks himself is horrible or racist or whatever is up to individual interpretation, but actively enabling it definitely isn't doing anyone good. There are arguments trying to say that people are "soft" or "lack personality" but as I mentioned before just outright saying slurs or making SA statements isn't funny I feel. Again, Shanks isn't to blame for the big picture issue with how the internet is, but enabling it will cause more harm than good.

you have a really broad interpretation of 'enabling' if just simply watch-partying and laughing about the crazy shit that was in the chat is 'enabling' (if you genuinely think there wasn't anything funny you are a prude)

even if a few people were from his stream, it's not on him for the stuff they do unless he literally told them 'yo everyone go spam the n-word in Soop's chat' or something like that

------------------------------------------------------
If he gets the blame for Soop, then its only fair he should also get the credit for there being normal chats in 99% of the games he watchparties

Fair, I think we're both on the understanding that obviously the blame lies within the actual chatters themselves than Shanks. I just think it comes from that, assuming most people in these chats are young and immature, they see Shanks laughing and in turn feel the need to contribute. I guess I wouldn't say Shanks share direct responsibility since, as you brought up, it wasn't as if he straight up told anyone to say what they did. Tbh, I'm sure much of my thoughts are coming from an overall point of view on how I feel about the internet, as there are 100% people far worse than Shanks and intentionally try to contribute to the issue, but yeah most of the time ppl do it for attention and seeing someone laugh about it might add to the encouragement. Then again, a VLR thread about the issue also counts as a form of attention towards the matter so ig I'm part of the problem.

i legit don't understand how u can compare Soop chat to shank's chat all those retarded people in soop were SEN fans with cringe names and blatantly typing stuff to trigger people but in shank's chat it is funny and if those people typed the same stuff in shank's chat they would get banned

I remember he had a zesty sounding guy on his team once and he and his chat started referring to him as James Charles.

After some time he said the same joke to his duo and he tried to change the topic multiple times but shanks continued to push it

Can’t believe you guys care about chat. If you don’t like a streamer just don’t watch them I don’t see what’s the problem. And if you don’t like the chat, just turn that shit off. No one’s getting paid to make sure you have an optimal viewing experience so stop acting like you’re entitled to it

bunch of pussies in this thread, twitter/vlr is an echo chamber of people just waiting to jump on someones back

the vast majority of pros/streamers enjoy being around shanks and playing with him, and I mean players/pros of all genders, sexualities and races, I think I trust their judgement over the kooks on this site lmao

the thing with shanks is that i actually kind of enjoy watching him especially when it’s a watch party but his chat is the total opposite of that for me
