just so I don't get accused of being a biased bitch I am outlining Xander's response to Spooky because even though it is leagues easier to watch, some people will treat me making a two hour rambling session more accessible as proof of an ulterior motive.

doesn't matter anyways, I already had to deal with a friend of mine trying to stop me looking into the whole thing. At least now I can lose respect for people I didn't already care about.

enough about them, the rest of this thread will be me recounting my thoughts on the video because oh boy have I forgotten how he uses and abuses rhetoric in this video.

basically to start, he is bringing up his mental health as a way of garnering sympathy from the viewer. this isn't an inherently bad thing, but keep this in mind when Spooky's repeated mental breakdowns are brought up.

only a few minutes in and he is using a rhetorical tactic I have only really seen from people who are lying to your face about something, the "watch this with an open mind" technique.
