"Redcoat ASMR" Exists and it's Terrible

I always knew that "ASMR" could get kind of strange, but this one takes the cake. Not only is it rather disturbing...it's horrendously historically inaccurate! (Maybe that's why it's so disturbing to me?) I mean, if you're going to make an entire video where you're pretending to be a Colonel in the American War of Independence, the least you could do is a tiny bit of research on...literally anything. Oh well- at least we had fun with it!

@@user-gu9yq5sj7c The joke, in British fashion, is the stereotype that the the French are sexual degenerates who would publish openly pornographic material. Which, to be fair, the very word “sadism” that this officer is described with comes from the Marquis De Sade, the French author who wrote the books that said stereotype is based on more than any other. That said, we can add another anachronism to the pile, since De Sade’s first widely known work was published a few years AFTER the Treaty of Paris ended the American War of Independence.

[@jeremy1392]

As someone who's into SOME asmr content as well as being a fan of this channel and its subject matter, I feel uniquely able to comment on this. To be clear, I'm into the more guided meditation side of ASMR as it's sort of a spectrum and there's a lot of different sorts of asmr, from roleplays like this, to "trigger videos," guided meditations, personal attention, and more. Asmr is undoubtedly a very weird category and I understand not understanding it, though I'd ask that your position as an outsider be simply that it's not for you. Like any category, there's good content and bad, there's genuinely wholesome content that changes people's lives for the better, and there's also shameless cash grabs. Some videos are just clickbait or suggestive content, but other videos help me handle depression and anxiety or help change my perspective on how I see the world. Many asmr channels use suggestive themes as one element for the audience but don't make that the whole theme and that's how I see this video. To be fair, I'm not attracted to men in the slightest (with the obvious exception of Ewan McGregor), so I have difficulty telling when he's playing that up for the camera. There's certainly an element of that, and he's surely aware of that and panders to it, but I think to say that's all the video is intended for is perhaps misleading. Of course it's not accurate and of course you didn't expect it to be, this is yet another in this guy's long line of roleplay videos and he isn't going to sink a ton of resources in to getting it right. That said, with a little time, care, research, and effort, he could have made a more accurate, immersive, and interesting video which could have had something interesting to say, whether that's a mini teaching moment or a more interesting comment on the politics of the time, perhaps with a nod to how that affects us today. I do think this video is yet another in a long line of pieces of media which is a product of perceptions of the American Revolutionary war, and it serves to show how poorly the public has been informed on an international scale about the conflict, as well as showing how important history and historiography are. While I would argue the conflict and our perceptions of it don't matter much today, I believe it's our duty to those who've fought and died for any cause to teach about that cause accurately, showing why it may have been just or not, and the many facets of those who fought on either side of a conflict. History is one part science (what happened and how), and one part contextualizing, where we learn from the mistakes and successes of the past to guide us to a better tomorrow. History shapes ideology, and ideology shapes the future. If that "history" is a lie or misleading, it can inform bad ideologies which then make our future worse.

I wouldn't want those harassing comments. 31:10 We don't know that asmr yt-er's intent, but if someone makes asmr or something relaxing about torture then he's probably glorifying abuse. It's disturbing that someone made a asmr that seemed to glorify abuse or seemed to be ok with that reception from the comments on his video. I didn't think it was s3xual to me, but it was cringe and unnerving. I just wanted the asmr video to be over. Only hearing you guys criticize it is when I could get through it. Otherwise, I wouldn't watch that asmr. I mostly watched it to hear your critique and info, and was curious how bad it could be. And it is terrible. Would people think asmr glorifying slavery is ok? 26:37 No, he could've done research on the internet or library even if he doesn't have much money. He has internet if he uploads to yt. With all his trinkets, I don't think he's that poor. But many people don't care about historical accuracy. I do tho. 27:52 Yeah, I've notice a lot of historical games have modern cuss words in them, and I haven't seen people called it out except you, even tho some people claim to be for accuracy. It's ridiculous, and I think some people are biased and just like those modern cuss words. I thought his voice sounded too hoarse, and it was hard to understand what he was saying.

People receive it differently. Some may find the sound of rain relaxing, others the crunching of leafs, third from the noise of densely populated are. And since people would want to listen to something suitable for their mood (be it to relax, get unnerved or sехtuаllу relieve themselves), there's different ASMR videos/sound recordings for that. In this case, the video is likely posted for people to get turned on and do the deed while listening to it, and since ASMR is usually auditory, they did a very poor job of making it visually appealing. As for the moral question of weather or not it's right or wrong, it very much depends on who you ask. Is it glorifying torture? Yes. Is it therefore deserving to be taken down? Depends. Is it encouraging others to go commit or surrender themselves to do it? No. Therefore, in my opinion, it's not to be taken down. To me, this is another case of a product criticized by the audience it was not intended for. You don't like it? Then don't consume it nor interact with it. Simple as that.

its a bit funny watching 17 hundred redcoats doing all this 21century stuff really feeling like these dudes time traveled.

Ooh I want them to watch that one

[@historygirl6732]

Good God. This is my first exposure to ASMR and it's goddam painful to watch

Brandon saying "well, you know" kind of sums up the entire video for me

[@brintabokka1393]

I just want to say to people that enjoy Asmr, your hobby is just as valid as these re-enactors and history buffs. Personally , I don't understand it but that doesn't mean it's "stupid" like one of these gentlmen said. It certainly seems like you're not hurting anyone by doing what you are doing, so enjoy your hobby guys. I feel like we shouild be welcoming of other hobbies rather than insulting them (Not saying that's exactly what Brandon and the guys did, but it came close to it in parts)

[@Providence..]

Wow, finally found someone with a brain here. I like the "normal" ASMR videos, not the one in this video for the record because they actually help me relax sometimes but people have this preconceived notion that ASMR is erotic because some nasty people hijacked it and gave it a bad name. From the very beginning the whole point of ASMR videos was to help people relax. It's amazing how ignorant and rude people can be. First video I've seen from these guys and I don't like them at all, rude and snobbish, never coming back here.

[@davec.8406]

"Are they always this rapey?" LoL!!! This video is so much fun especially as a fellow reenactor. Hehe "funnsies" 50 shades of red. The best comment

[@XartiXV]

12:45 "'You've been captured by a sadistic Redcoat, who is torturing you.' there's nothing sexual about that." Well, hybristophilia and creepypasta ASMR exists...

[@ryanjapan3113]

Well given it’s not called “lobsterback ASMR“ I think I already see the problem. Edit: or whatever the lobsterback’s called themselves. Edit 2: Brandon mentioned in another video that the Lobsterback nickname was invented later. Edit 3: Apparently it came around during the War of 1812 iirc.

[@Mileza-ASMR]

i don't know if the video offends you guys or if you're just poking fun XD, but i quite like jim 5 ASMR and it's just someone trying to have fun making vids.

[@fragwagon]

These things make me want to de-invent the Internet. That said, the Internet brought me this ridiculously hilarious reaction.

[@Tareltonlives]

Honest question: Is so much ASMR kinky? I mean I never really thought narrated BDSM was relaxing to people.

[@Tareltonlives]

"I'm sure the king is proud" The historical riffing is amazing here. Not just kinkshaming, but fashion shaming!

[@gaming_ape1018]

From my understanding ASMR was intended to help people fall asleep (or the people who talk to me about it use it for that nature.) and that most of these ASMR type videos are more of a sexual nature then one to help you get a feeling of sensation while you fall asleep. For me these types of ASMR does nothing but make my feel creeped out and weird while ASMR with more natural sounds such as rain make me feel more peaceful...hell evens Bob Ross or "The Shipping Forecast" by The Longest Johns sounds natural than whatever this weird fetish stuff is.

"...And you know what? That so-called 'plumber's' so-called 'tool box' seems to be woefully lacking in the appropriate implements required to 'fix' that- admittedly very winsome- lady's 'pipes'... For one thing that spanner is of completely the wrong gauge... and for another there's simply no realistic reason for him to take his shirt off if we are to believe that the scene we are witnessing takes place in November, as suggested by the seasonal accoutrements shown at the beginning of the scene... and... and... oh my... I'm sure that kind of thing contradicts any number of workplace regulations... and... oh my gosh... and... goodness gracious... and... I feel a bit faint... and... oh my golly gosh..." Seriously- I get this overanalysis was done with humorous intent, and it's pretty funny on its own terms.
