      same thing happened to a discord server was in except with politics
      so i was in a discord server based around a small roblox game and it started dying because the head dev moved onto other projects it was maybe around early to mid 2023 when 1 person started posting about the russo ukraine war. we all thought this was just some friendly small news coverage but then it started to get worse he started posting more about it and this was in memes channel for some damn reason, basically smothered all the memes going into that channel. and then people started to discuss about the war in memes channel and need i remind you there was a specific rule about "no politics"? me and the other memebers tried to stop them but the one who started the war posting said "oh were just keeping the server alive by posting in memes so that people can check memes" and that was the most stupid reason ive ever heard we tried talking to mods about it but it was like talking into a brick wall and its still going on to this day.
      damn why did i even write this rant

      They already genuinely believe this. MVM's Community supported these mindsets for years, and there is no changing them.
      The only way they get completely stuffed is for the TF-Team to fix temporary soft-bans on successful kicks. Only the advantage of rejoining games after kicks to grief is what they have.
      Write emails, and make some noise after the holidays; maybe they can fix it for next year.

    On imitative recording: I understand your point 100%. But as a viewer, and especially with the modern RUclips landscape as you pointed out, it's not always obvious what's real footage and what's recreation for the sake of video flow.
    A simple solution would be to have "Recreation" on a corner of the video when using recreation footage. Just for the sake of transparency.

      Will very likely be doing this going forward.
      Originally, I actually had a whole segment in this video dedicated to that argument in particular as it's one I've grappled with several times myself. Having disclaimers was actually my original intention when conceptualizing the footage, but when I started adding them onto the timeline, I realized it was both extremely ugly and immersion-breaking. I tried to turn down the opacity to make it less apparent, but it's less so a visual gripe and more-so a psychological one.
      The best comparison I can give to illustrate this would be any "actors, not real people" text below your average TV ad. I can't speak for everyone, but at least for me, whenever I end up reading that line, my brain starts moving towards judging the acting chops of the people involved and less-so on the product itself. I realized that me doing this would move focus away from the story I'm trying to tell and instead towards the creation process behind it, and that's why I've ultimately decided against it for the longest time.
      However, as of this video, everyone now knows how the sausage is made, if I don't point it out myself, y'all will start searching lol. Unless there's an adequate reason to retain the old method, this will probably be the new road I'll be taking.

      @@scooby8800by what I can tell this is because Basil claims to not be the only one writing the document, and if nothing else it is a group effort.
      I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one, but it doesn’t really make things better for him, nor does the rest of his updates.
      Even taking the rest of his claims in the updated document at face value, the most substantial thing that Weezy would be wrong on would be… Basil not being the guy who got into a flame war with Weezy on Twitter and Discord, and accusing him of said flame war when it was really some other bad actor. Most of the other responses either deal with minor technical gripes or I would argue are misrepresentations of Weezy’s positions, intentional or otherwise.
      Thankfully, Basil claims to have turned over a new leaf and seems to want to put a lot of this Weezy drama behind him. If it’s out of a legitimate change of heart or a cope to deal with being humiliated on the internet, I can’t say. Either way though, I hope he’s learned something from all this and improves as a person and as a TF2 player, and that his shenanigans are truly over.

    It's like he's being accused of murder that took place in the evening, and he responds with "no they died in the morning".
    Or a documentary is being made about the murder where they use a reconstruction to show you what happened, and instead of saying "I didn't do it", he says "that's not me in those clips".

    I've dealt with one of those vigilante/troll MVM players before. I was under the impression that it was just a freak random occurrence. They were older tacobot members (probably put me on their list from ages ago I don't know), was around 2018-2020. And the whole reason why this even happened, is because a demo on our team was using a normal sticky launcher, which yeah sure people like the Scottish Resistance is more optimal, but this demo was absolutely SLAYING the robots. He was so good he was outmatching everyone. But because he was using normal sticky launcher they basically deadlocked the lobby for at least 2 hours until he left. It was maybe a stupid decision on my part but we decided we were going to stay no matter how long it took. They eventually gave up, poor losers.
    Probably the most cult like, toxic gaming experience I ever had. Sad to see it's still around, and now with the whole bot/cheating angle too.

    On the topic of recreated footage, I largely agree with Weezy. Plenty of documentaries recreate footage to give the audience an idea of what happened. However, the good documentaries include some sort of disclaimer that the footage is recreated so the audience is not left in the dark about what's genuine, and what's a recreation.
    Weezy is right that a recreation of Basil flying around is not really material to anything, so it doesn't matter that it's recreated ... but it is inherently slightly misleading to not disclose that until called out on it.
    I'm certainly not defending Basil here, his behaviour sounds absolutely insane, but it would probably be wise for Weezy to disclose what's recreated in videos going forward so the audience can better decide for themselves what to believe, without wondering what's real, and what's fake.
    TL;DR, I agree with Weezy's use of reconstructed footage, but I disagree that it's wholly immaterial without a disclaimer that certain shots are reconstructed. We can't read Weezy's mind, we weren't there, we can't easily tell what's real and what's not. Thus, there's room for confusion and misinformation.

      I'm not siding with either of them, but Weezy was wrong for misleading his viewers. It's clear why Basil lead with that point. Even if he recreated it genuinely, the fact he tried to hide it is wrong, tantamount to lying to his audience.

    @WeezyTF2 10:55 you can probably avoid this issue by recording demos with p-rec. Install it, type prec_mode_3 into console, and every game you play will be recorded to be played back using TF2's demo system. Extremely useful as shadowplay automatically saves the time and date of each saved clip, and demos are named based on the time they started as well. Saves text chat, voice chat, everything.

      @@Underworlder5 Vigilantism is from the belief that the Authority isn't doing anything or enough to deal with certain issues. Very easy to see why people support, if not, glorify such actions against targets that socially people wouldn't like. Obviously, TF2 has a cheating problem because Valve isn't interested to tackle the issue in significant capacities anymore. At the same time, Mann-up is a Pay-to-Enter experience, and very well they can be aware of it all; although they are also benefiting from cheaters buying tickets to consume them.
      This is actually seen with those predator catcher videos on RUclips, and extreme wacky conspiracy theories that fuel these beliefs where society isn't, "Doing enough," to punish accused/convicted persons. Rightfully so we don't like the ones who prey, yet most of those groups would love nothing more than to deliver street justice, and captivate an audience for it.
      In this case, the Authority, Valve, refuses to do anything about rampant cheating. Then so, the solution becomes self-appointed, "MVM Community," members to griefing cheaters.

      I (think) I know why these anti-cheating groups really hate cheating THAT MUCH.
      It’s not strange that most TF2 community focus and plays more in the PvP “Standard” gamemode (AKA casual), and the PvE community (AKA MVM) is pretty much smaller than them because the game was born in the PvP playstyle and they released Mann Vs. Machine some years later.
      So, as part of the playerbase who likes MVM more than Casual, we just accept the fact that most people in TF2 don’t even mind or care about MvM the same level as Casual, and probably even Tacobots or any group dedicated in MvM are fine with this. HOWEVER, when people do these cheats, those anti-cheating people think that they are telling them: “MVM is boring, i just came for the loot.” Straight to their faces. And problem is, they apply that logic to every cheater supporter as well, because they accept cheating in order to get loot faster.
      Tacobots and any other MVM groups like them represent the people of the community who enjoy playing MVM instead of getting loot, which is funny and kinda ironic, since it’s VERY rare to see them in custom MVM missions (like potato.tf missions), in which even the smaller community around custom MVM are the actual ones to play it for fun more than loot (I guess) and you have the advantage of not finding hackers in bootcamp and custom MVM, because, why would they cheat if they can’t get loot other than experience in which they don’t care?

    The thing about body doubles, I agree it is necessary and even beneficial to use them, however it does feel somewhat underhanded when you reveal that purportedly “real” clips are re-enactments.
    I think it would benefit you to make some sort of disclaimer on re-enacted clips, like they do in TV, nothing major, more just a textbox in a corner saying “re-enactment”. At the very least, this would give you a much stronger defence that “yeah I did it without really bringing it up but that’s just cinema”, especially because documentaries state when their footage is original or contemporary.

      "Will very likely be doing this going forward.
      Originally, I actually had a whole segment in this video dedicated to that argument in particular as it's one I've grappled with several times myself. Having disclaimers was actually my original intention when conceptualizing the footage, but when I started adding them onto the timeline, I realized it was both extremely ugly and immersion-breaking. I tried to turn down the opacity to make it less apparent, but it's less so a visual gripe and more-so a psychological one.
      The best comparison I can give to illustrate this would be any "actors, not real people" text below your average TV ad. I can't speak for everyone, but at least for me, whenever I end up reading that line, my brain starts moving towards judging the acting chops of the people involved and less-so on the product itself. I realized that me doing this would move focus away from the story I'm trying to tell and instead towards the creation process behind it, and that's why I've ultimately decided against it for the longest time.
      However, as of this video, everyone now knows how the sausage is made, if I don't point it out myself, y'all will start searching lol. Unless there's an adequate reason to retain the old method, this will probably be the new road I'll be taking."

    Hey that's great.
    In the future, to avoid this type of controversy happening again, it's probably a good idea to put a little "recreated footage" in one of the corners to clear up any ambiguity.
    I understand it slightly reduces the quality of the video, but the fact you had to hide it makes you seem suspicious.

    As a schizophrenic myself I'll say this with 30 years of dealing with this. This guy is not schizophrenic he has peer issues and wants to be seen in a light he likes. It's honestly more a narcissistic trait then mental health. Schizophrenia if he had it at the level he is attacking you. He would be put in a mental ward or I'd get lawyers involved. Schizophrenia is a spectrum and on the very bad. Is murder insanity and literally going insane. Aka why I feel this is more q narcissistic and attention seeking.

      There is more than one condition that can cause paranoid delusions and aggressive reactions to perceived immoral behaviour; you are an expert on your schizophrenia, not everyone else's, and you definitely aren't an expert on any other neurological or behavioural disorders.

    This video is an interesting exercise in perspective for me.
    I am, admittedly, a GTA Online vigilante. If I see an unnecessarily hostile player, one who is clearly bullying a very low ranked player, blowing up their cargo, I will happily kick their fucking teeth in. I remember what it felt like to be that low ranked player and I hated it. This stems from a deep seated hatred of griefers from my very early days in the game, combined with a deep seated hatred of bullies in real life. I started off life in Los Santos as a little baby grinder. No consistent help, and I got griefed a LOT. I remember how insanely frustrating it felt, and how much I wanted to take that asshole down a peg. So I got VERY good at defending myself and now take down assholes on behalf of others. I don't take it outside the game or make long ass lists of "known griefers" but I do maintain I strong stance of "griefing is wrong and you're a shithead if you do it."
    I've also hell the similarly flippant stance in regards to collateral damage. I typically don't initiate PvP in the game, I much prefer more positive and cooperative interactions. I find PvP rarely has positive interactions in the game. So if I engage in PvP, I believe myself to be on the moral high ground. If there happens to be a member of that organization in the game who isn't griefing, and/or a cheater with a modded account, I won't go out of my way to target them, but I do still assume some guilt by association on their part. If they get caught in the crossfire, oh well. People get killed in GTA all the fucking time; get over it.
    But seeing this line of thinking taken to it's illogical extreme has me take pause. I believe I'm doing a good thing. I believe that what I do is just and right. But if literally nobody else cares and hates me for it, what's the point? And if I were to continue down this line of thinking, would I end up a psychotic lunatic like Basil? Burning a scorched earth path through Los Santos and ruining the game for everyone?
    In fairness, I've had plenty of positive encounters in my travels too. I frequently log on just to hop in my Akula or Raiju, and just fly around on patrol. If I see a low ranked player out making a sale, I'll fly air cover to defend them, and the players are always grateful. Perhaps I need to take a more passive, defensive approach, and be less offensive.
    Ultimately, this whole discussion is more philosophical for me. My heaviest anti-griefer days are mostly behind me. When I see another player get griefed now, I don't much care too engage. The amount of mental energy I'd have to expend really isn't worth it to me now. Plus, Rockstar has (FUCKING FINALLY) taken reasonable steps to make the game much friendlier, at least from a PvP/griefing standpoint. Now when I see a player get griefed in a public lobby, I'm like "why didn't you go to an invite only lobby bro? I don't walk across an active minefield and complain that I got my leg blown off, especially when there's a perfectly safe road right next to it."
    Basically this whole situation has me going: "Wait? Am I the asshole?"

      Not that I could conclude anything, but I once heard that this type of reflective thinking is good and rarely is done by an actual asshole.
      Also, good character growth (from what I interpret).
      Kudos :)

      I shoot down friendly fighter planes that take off with ordinance at the start of an air realistic battles match in war thunder, because they're taking up a slot on my team just to kill some random AI targets and die, while my teammates have to fight at a disadvantage and often get less rewards for trying their best to actually dogfight the enemy planes and help their team than that dude who fired some rockets at a couple armoured cars.
