18. UTUSN, you're apparently complaining about multiple people objecting to the lurid, non-historical content

Mon Mar 30, 2026, 02:03 PM

Monday

of an AI-generated "history" channel you were urging people in GD to watch videos from a week ago.

Yes, the fact it was AI-generated was brought up, but there was more emphasis on the content being about "history" that didn't happen, the illustrations of women being sexualized, and the apparent focus of that AI channel, judging by the page of thumbnails with the video titles, being rape, torture and perversion.

You completely ignored my question about the content, and you ignored or brushed aside the other comments on the content and the lack of historical accuracy.

This was my last response to you there:

Your exposition in the OP didn't begin to explain your recommending a 'history" channel where

two of the videos are illustrated - the thumbnail image created to sell the video - by images of soldiers restraining women who are apparently about to be raped by animals (a horse and a bull),

one shows a woman screaming as she's raped by Genghis Khan,

two show captive women hanging in the air, screaming, their legs spread,

one shows two women in ripped clothing pushed against a wall, armed soldiers behind them, the video about "the filthy fate of female prisoners in Rome,"

one shows an older woman screaming as she's boiled alive,

and so on.

One sickening scene after another illustrating the "history" videos you're recommending.

Your OP recommends a video about Herod that "goes into breathtaking detail about his personal atrocities" - why do you want people to view images and videos about atrocities like rape, torture and perversions?

The illos with those videos are some of the most grotesque I've seen on YouTube, even on AI slop channels.

I was asking about that because I'd never seen anything like that recommended on DU before. And you simply referred to AI in your replies to me.

Yip, the no response has its message. The flamers go by the internet "rule" about the Last Word wins. UTUSN Monday #11

LC, please see reply 18. highplainsdem Monday #23

I was unfamiliar with the thread, highplainsdem, and was replying in generalities. LuckyCharms Monday #46

If you use "ignore," you will not regret it, IMO! Why let a few people annoy you and get in your head? Doodley Monday #2

Same experience here jmbar2 Monday #3

Absolutely perfect, am saving it. Would like to post it to the flamers but it might be called a personal attack. UTUSN Monday #7

It is a striking resemblance jmbar2 Monday #10

Am going to post it in Lounge, crediting you, in order to get it into my Journal. Thanks! UTUSN Monday #12

You may need to include a Trigger Warning for jmbar2 Monday #13

That's what I thought too. FoxNewsSucks Monday #34

My first impression of the WARREN resemblance was just the immediate impact of the face. UTUSN Monday #36

There's definitely a facial resemblance FoxNewsSucks Monday #38

Yeah, the vid is spoiled for me now, too. This highlights another flamer trait, UTUSN Monday #44

As a big fan of the ignore function, I'll tell ypu how I manage it. NNadir Monday #14

Excellent and very understanding points. Back when, during the early Ignore era, tried it on bad actors. UTUSN Monday #15

That's the best part of an ignore list. Checking through it and realizing... NNadir Monday #19

Yip, silently ignoring the stalking and lies until they expose themselves is satisfying when it happens. UTUSN Monday #21

I use the Ignore feature because, for me, it's better not to know what's out there. mahatmakanejeeves Monday #26

Yip, I use a kind of Ignore - skipping. It's always been irritating when posters feel obligated UTUSN Monday #28

Please see reply 18 and let me know if you think I was wrong for objecting to the content of the highplainsdem Monday #31

I ignore people like that to keep track of them. pwb Monday #27

Thanks. It's consolation that karma sometimes makes itself known. UTUSN Monday #29

Please see reply 18. UTUSN is unhappy that people objected to his reccing an AI channel with gross illos of rape, highplainsdem Monday #33

I know how you feel about AI from Music Appreciation. pwb Monday #37

"but there is a moderate side where the main content is not pernicious," WhiskeyGrinder Monday #32

The thread UTUSN is upset about wasn't primarily a debate about AI, either. It was about the inaccurate highplainsdem Monday #39

I also pushed back on the inaccuracies ("100 vikings vs 10,000 Mongols," come on) and I think it's important to WhiskeyGrinder Monday #40

If what was posted was inaccurate then post an article or video with the correct info questionseverything Monday #41

He was recommending an entire channel whose video thumbnails focused on rape, torture and highplainsdem Monday #42

Your post I referenced said it was about the inaccuracy of the video questionseverything Monday #43

I just scrolled past thumbnails of hundreds of YouTube videos about Khan. None of them showed Khan raping highplainsdem Monday #45

Honestly you keep moving the goal posts questionseverything Monday #50

I'm not moving the goalposts at all. This is the same objection I made when UTUSN posted about highplainsdem Monday #52
