just so I don& #39;t get accused of being a biased bitch I am outlining Xander& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t an inherently bad thing, but keep this in mind when Spooky& #39;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.
