As a matter of fact yes. Imagine a writer who lives off of a fanbase of every single cliche-loving 12 year old girl and you've basically got him.

This is the only thing from any John Green book i've read and I like it

>>931995
I don't hate him. I actually like it that he wants to change the world for the better in his own way. Too many people just don't give a fuck.
>>932179
>Women under the Caliphate actually had rights unlike under the Byzantines
holy shit, so did any other woman in the catholic church. More even because secular laws like you mentioned
>>932182
That line was in the middle of his video and I had to close the browser, turn off the computer and go for a long walk contemplating the future of humanity.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I couldn't believe I perserved his one episode on the Roman Empire that basically shit talked and called it useless for fifteen minutes.
>makes a video about "dark ages" in europe
>spends 95% of the time talking about the islamic caliphate and how the "dark ages" weren't so dark after all while europeans were basically barbarian monkeys
cuck
>>932047
As if being an islam fifth columnist wasn't enough proof, this confirms his cuck status.

Ottoman achievements are European achievements because any Turk worth a shit was of European descent
>>932223
It really depends what he means by Dark Ages.
Kings were still powerful around 500-700, then their authority was reduced to very little for centuries minus Charlemagne.
Even then, the Merovingian or Ostrogoth were not "ultimate authority".
>>932299
He's talking about the Dark Ages and comparing it to the Muslim world in its prime - note there is not a single overview over the Middle Ages as such. One can assume that he uses the term 'Dark Ages' and 'Middle Ages' synonymous.
>>932347
>One can assume that he uses the term 'Dark Ages' and 'Middle Ages' synonymous.
Confirmed moron. Dark Ages are a thing in England and England alone. Eternal anglos spreading their memes. We know more about what was happening in Roman lands in 550 than in 250.
>>932455
But still not as much as 850.

I like him too. I don't agree with everything he says but he seems like a good enough guy.
Also a fan of History Buffs (but he only does films, analysing how accurate and authentic they are to the period they depict)

Isn't his 19th century nationalism video about Japan?

>>933695
Is that from the old intro? I haven't seen that in any of his videos.
>>933713
No, that's the new intro. His old intro was a drawn out pan through a CGI museum of sorts.
>>933645
>Lindybiege
>a good enough guy
Really? He strikes me like an asshole.
>>933737
Lindyberg is definitely a "that guy"
>>933735

Damn, his old intro was way better.
>>932181
Kill yourself
>>933630
He's fucking awful, he can talk about like 2 things without just being either 50 years out of date or just wrong.
I hate this fucking retard
>>933795
After one of his recent videos, where he talks about how he hand-made rope at a renn fair and it was "hard", I've met people who are convinced that rope was worth its weight in gold.
>>931974
To be honest he's not nearly as bad as people say. A lot of people just -really- don't like the way he decides to talk about things in his videos. But their company does actually try and teach people how to study history, which is something even really good channels rarely do.
>>933860
john green is for baby casuals
Dan Carlin is what you want
but check out TedX videos. they have little 5 min infotainment youtube videos on history that arent infested with liberal white guilt shit

I just watched Mr. Tumblr-nose's video about The Patriot. He doesn't mention a single historical inaccuracy, just whines that the British are portrayed as bad guys.
>>933860
Sorry pal, unless you want to join the legions of unintentional shitposters that don't know shit, you're gonna have to invest some actual hours in reading stuff. As a general rule, most of the stuff you see on /his/ is from either wiki, something they heard, or some 20 min video that skims on facts and often has a very distinct purpose.
Because let's face it, good history books are often pretty fucking boring.
Hit the books and persevere, there's numerous sights you can download SHITTONS of PDFs from and a half hour every now and then adds up over a week or two.
Go forth and conquer my son.
>>933877
The big issue with books is that a lot of them have really outdated historiography so you might read it but no historian actually thinks what it says anymore.
The field advances too fast to keep up to date everywhere.
>>933760
He has a video explaining why he switched. He agrees with you, but I agree with the change. THe first one was WAY too long. It's a fucking youtube series. I don't want to watch the same drawn out intro every video. Creators have to learn the value of brevity too.
>>933877
shigh, i guess you're right. I'm reading so much stuff right now, but it still is the best way to get actual information. I just have to reorganize my reading list
Any books you'd recomend?
>>933872
I've actually watched some Ted- ed videos and most of them are pretty good, but then again they sometimes tend to tell very one sided stories (which are still interesting viewpoints, but i feel that they aren't as well balanced. Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NXC4Q_4JVg)
>>933898
But that music and those scenes worked so well together. It really got me pumped.
The new one is just way too cartoony. He should have edited down the old one rather than make a new one.
>>933903
er, quite a wide variety of books there, but the ones i've been cracking through recently have been Blood and Rage, mainly about Terrorism throughout the ages, a friend of mine was taught by the author, and despite being an utter wanker, he had some good conclusions pointing out why and when terroristic acts emerge in societies.
I'm not sure how out of date it is,>>933884 made a good point about how fast the field is changing, but Why The Allies Won by Overy was surprisingly well written and bar one or two iffy conclusions, was pretty funkin' dank.
Other than that, Heart of Europe by Davies was quite good, along with a really accessible that gives a somewhat good history of modern (1700s onwards) Russia that I've forgotten the name of, but the cover was that big statue with the man and woman covered in the red flag.
Rule of thumb is make certain the author's not a hack (google them and spend 10 or so minutes on non-wikipedia sites for this) and generally the more recent it is the better. Some history books are utter memes in serious discussion though. [spoiler] Niall Ferguson [/spoiler]
>>933978
well the spoiler didn't work but you get my drift.
>>933978
The speed of change isn't helped by the fact a lot, and I mean a lot of authors don't seem to be that interested in being up to date anyway.
I recall speaking to an ottoman historian not long ago and he was so dismissive of books about the empire it was unreal.
>>933993
>I recall speaking to an ottoman historian not long ago and he was so dismissive of books about the empire it was unreal.
I know what you mean, there's a professor I know with an uncanny and utterly worrying knowledge of Medieval city layout, structure, planning, building materials, sanitation, the whole scha-bang, but he refuses to even entertain certain books/views/ historians.
It's getting to the stage where I'm not quite sure what to believe/ if any of it is even true or just a bunch of old boys wasting their remaining years away.
>>934018
desu it's why I've basically given up on the term historical accuracy. Becuase at this point history is so difficult to pinpoint that unless you're bringing in some really hardcore academics you may just be being accurate to popular myths... and even with the academics you may end up with a different fictionalised account.
>>934031
I think it's something that's pretty common all over in the infomation age, that there's so much stuff, in terms of conflicting facts, different sources of interpretation and 'sources' out there that verifying anything at all is near to impossible. Shit's positively postmodern in some ways.
>>933695
>history buff
>portrays cleopatra as nigger
even without that though, he belongs in the trash, his vids are garbage
>>934049
desu I think history as a field is finally starting to shake off a lot of the really stupid shit that victorian era "historians" just made up.
There's so much shit that if you trace it back to it's first mention it's just some guy who wrote about it and then people started writing about him and his actual "evidence" isn't even there.
>>934066
Literally the Druidism and most neo-paganistic type fucks.
Ah well, good thing my field only has to rely on stuff from the 20th and early 19thC B^)
>>934080
Apparantly even a good portion of "popular" i.e. well known ottoman history is at -best- sourced as "someone in the 1800s read something coontemporary and then decided that it must also have been true in the 1500-1600s" and -no one- questioned it at the time.

So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk. Thinking about if people were rain. I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

He "debunks" the fact that the crusaders won partly thanks to internal divisions among the muslims by pointing out the visigoths were fighting among themselves when the muslims too Spain. He seems to take this debate as a dickwaving contest about who were better warriors, muslims or christians.

>>which I'm never going to put in context and I'm going to omit information and I'm going to ignore other examples of something that I say is bad if it fits my narrative

>>934995
I agree, the Alexander the Great one was terrible. If he wants to do a bit about how women in history have been overlooked, then do a fucking video about it. He barely discussed Alexander due to the fact he first focused on whatever that Kardashian and the Situation bullshit was, then on how history sucks because its all about men.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCwVhKocvto
>>936233
He's not totally awful, he's an okay introduction to history (which is exactly what his series tries to do), especially ancient history. The problem is that he spouts a lot of theories as fact, and he's so scared of being branded eurocentric that he became europhobic, which can get pretty grating. Bascially, don't take anything he says at face value, watch his videos for what they are - an introduction to a subject meant to ease you into doing your own research.
>>931978
>>934737
Daily reminder that this is the 4/10 that drove him fucking crazy and he's propping her up as some sort of goddess. I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick 2bh lads.

>>938208
>watch his videos for what they are - an introduction to a subject meant to ease you into doing your own research
More like a brief SparkNotes overview of topics that will most likely appear on an AP World History exam after which you will never bother with again. Green and other Youtube infodump channels aren't in the business of making introductions, but replacements for people who don't have the interest or discipline to properly study a lot of history and who just want an easy to remember overview or give them some opinion they can regurgitate for whatever reason.
Not all the different from >>938071 or >>935103
>>937830
It's not like he didn't actually say exactly what he was going for with the video. He was using alexander to discuss this topic, not discussing alexander he outright said this and people keep acting like he didn't make it clear at the start that this wasn't about him.

Then your problem isn't spouting theory as fact, it's the fact you don't like what he's saying.

>>938261
>Then your problem isn't spouting theory as fact, it's the fact you don't like what he's saying.
Whoa there, maybe I just don't care because it's barely related to the reason I'm on this board and not any other or even on another site.
If I gave two shits about Dark Matter, I'd be somewhere else.
>>938261
Or maybe the difference is that history is a subject for which I have passion and want to learn everything about while science is a subject I'm only casually interested in and study sparingly.

>>933874
I think he gets annoyed over how evil the english are shown to be. He did talked about inaccuracy with the film as well.
>>937430
It's not, the Pharisees viewed Christ as a reformer, which then they could not take advantage of the Jewish people in Judea, so they got false witnesses and killed him by execution, the Romans did not care, but I bet they did after the burning of Rome
>>938511
>>938337
The limey spent the entire video complaining about the tone, and only mentioned the church burning because it was part of that tone.
Historical fiction is allowed, and sometimes even HAS to make stuff up in order to be watchable. That doesn't make it historically innaccurate.
He doesn't mention any of the real goofs the movie made, like arming a lot of the colonial army with rifles instead of muskets. Heck, in the Conquest of Paradise review he spends most of his time complaining that Columbus wasn't potrayed as a baby-murdering cannibal.
I haven't seen his 300 review but let me guess, he whines about the Spartans talking about freedom when they owned slaves?
>>936233
his videos are aimed at high school students, and especially high school girls. i guess they're fine for that purpose but they just make me cringe when i try to watch them
>>931974
I think he is into femdom. He always has this weird worshipful attitude towards women. Male feminists in general seem to be motivated purely by submissive sexual fantasies, and all the politics is just a means to that end.
>>939330
He focuses more on the events and their accuracy. If you want autistic complaints about gear, you should watch lindybeige

His videos are an okay crash course for history but you don't need alot of knowledge to make them. He knows only the bare ideas and fills in the rest with assumptions instead of actually researching the topic.

The Jews were more afraid of him and his followers than the Romans. The Romans barely cared. Fuck off, JIDF.
>>939918
Are you fucking retarded? Have you even read the Bible or do you just like to spin random events into fitting your perception?

So saying that Romans were probably the ones that were most involved in the execution of this particular jew automatically makes me JIDF.
Right.
Fuck off back to /pol/.
Alhamdulillah
>>946051
The Bibles is not historically reliable.
It paints Pilate as a disinterested bureaucrat doing his job in appeasing the Jewish masses, while Roman documents of the time depict him as an atrocious ruler who killed hundreds.
Jesus was just one of many problematic figures to the Roman power from Pilate's view, his execution makes sense even if you remove the Jews from the equation, who may or may not have cared/agreed with it.

>"Julius Caesar didn't create emperors, the empire created emperors"
DDDDDDUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRr
I see what he is trying to do by applying a broader picture into hitory rather than name dates and such. But his broader pictures suck. Like he fails to mention the age of peace following the end of the Trimuvate Civil War for like 200 years from Augustus to Marcus. He doesn't really talk at all about Gaius Marius or Sulla, or at least not in an unbiased way. He talks shit about the Roman Senate, although they weren't terrible like he says. He doesn't talk about how Caesar cut back on the amount of slaves in the Roman Empire. He says that the Roman Empire had to be constantly at war, even though they really didn't. Etc.... Just over all shit. Wish someone smart would take over and actually give us an interesting bigger picture.

what the fuck is he talking about, male authors of love stories are ridiculed to hell, especially if there's any hint of sincerity or wish fulfillment in it. look at how much critics loathe "manic pixie dream girl" stories

John sees the criticism he receives as a romance writer and ponders.
"Just imagine what the female writers are going through if I, a white male, am going through this."
Content with having checked his privilege, John continues to write his upcoming vlogbrothers episode. His apology to Mongolian fans of CrashCourse for cultural appropriation of their historical figures had been long overdue. However, he is interrupted as his wife's boyfriend barges in on his room, and asks for sixty dollars to use in his date night.
John isn't happy, for Chad owes him close to four figures already, but he quickly admonishes himself.
"I am a white male after all."
He knows he can make the money back on the video he's working on alone, while Chad is a victim of the racist system of the country as is struggling to find a job.
After wishing him a fun night, John resumes his writing, satisfied with his good actions for the day.
