Yes, they're a cute couple, yes, they're mostly sensible, yes, they're not crazy Leftists. BUT:
They always re-broadcast the enemies' propaganda.
Look at that God-damned thumbnail. LOOK. AT. IT. (As Just Some Guy would say.) It presents the intersectional Marxists' claim that MLP fans are hate-filled KKKluxers AS A FACT.
I know they think they are foregrounding the craziness, but really they are only strengthening it.
If someone posts a graphic of "alt-right adjacents" showing Jordan Peterson's or Dave Rubin's heads next to Richard Spencer, then Kneon and Geeky Sparkles will put that image on the screen for 20 minutes, letting that image burn itself into their viewers' retinas while babbling over it.
If someone calls someone else racist, then they will sit there for 20 minutes, babbling, "OMG! MOTHER THERESA's not RACIST! MOTHER THERESA's not RACIST! MOTHER THERESA's not RACIST!" over and over again, until all their viewers hear, "MOTHER THERESA! RACIST! MOTHER THERESA! RACIST! MOTHER THERESA! RACIST!"
Both of these create links in viewer's minds.
But their most favorite trick ever, whenever someone links them to "conservative" or "far right" circles, is to shout at length, "OMG HOW COULD YOU THINK I'M CONSERVATIVE OMG THAT'S DISGUSTING OMG I COULD NEVER BE CONSERVATIVE!"
Imagine if a Leftie accused CTV of being black: "OMG HOW COULD YOU THINK I'M BLACK OMG THAT'S DISGUSTING OMG I COULD NEVER BE BLACK!" See the problem?
#Now, here's the funny bit.
Clownfish TV constantly complain about SJW sites linking them to the alt-right.
To which my response is, Why wouldn't they?! Whenever SJWs trash CTV, CTV instantly rebroadcasts their memes, repeats their talking points, and denounces conservatives . Why would even dumb Commies look at that and not think, "Hey, it's free real estate!"?
CTV feed their trolls, so they get more trolls. (To be fair, a lot of even outright Republican websites do this. We don't call them the Stupid Party for nothing.) Rhetorical skills are not just offensive, to break down your opponent's arguments. They are also defensive, like InfoSec for speakers and ideas. A few simple rhetorical devices to stop CTV's leaking of evil propaganda:
STOP denouncing conservatives and right wingers. If some SJW "accuses" you of being "alt-right adjacent" or something, jujitsu their accusation back on them. Say, "So-and-so accuses me of being alt-right for not [whatever ludicrous BS they're pushing]. I voted for Obama. I didn't realize Obama voters are alt-right." Push the Commies' crap back on them.
STOP repeating their talking points. Do some research: if Big Tata Nehisi Coates' compared Jordan Peterson to the Red Skull, chances are this isn't the first time he was this stupid. Look up his other dumb Tweets and post those. Bonus points for tweets so stupid he had to delete them. This implies his current stupidity is also destined for the trash. And don't forget the power of trashing them with their equally dumb and vicious fellow travelers.
STOP rebroadcasting Leftie memes. Yes, you want to show the original picture to document the Leftie's crazed accusations. Fine. Show it for about ten seconds, but then replace that image with one that exposes the Leftie's framing in an unflattering light. Find an unflattering picture of the offender, or draw a meme-raging caricature of them, between (say) Mother Theresa and Richard Spencer, pointing to them, with the word bubble "THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" and leave that up for twenty minutes. (Feel free to label your drawing with the writer's or website's name/logo, you don't win points for technical skill.)
If they stop feeding the trolls, most of the trolls will go away.
Clownfish TV are dumbasses.
