​@ville__thats a.....weird.....comment 🤨

[@davidturner1595]

Seriously though, I think that because "sea monster" is such a vague term, it's possible to define it in such a way that would make them real. For example, if someone said "I consider collosal squids to fit the definition on sea monsters and therefore there are sea monsters that are real" I would not argue with that. And I don't think that emma would argue with that, either. Basically I'm not trying to disagree with emma's stance, I'm just nitpicking the title. Also, I'm writing this comment before watching the video, so I don't know emma's stance

[@whilwheatonIII]

​@ville__ Wow, you must make a lot of feminist content, then. Along with the content that you say gabi bell and kurtis connor stole, you're having a really rough time of it. All these much larger creators stealing from you, a very humble feminist comedian, but you get no credit (other than the comments you leave under the top comments on their videos) Where, pray tell, can i find these hilarious, informative videos of yours? I checked your channel, but all thats there is a community post with a link to a video with lots of nazi imagery. Strange...

[@CodeNameX001]

The Ningen is a Japanese internet meme from 2007. Basically a creepypasta, where they made up a cryptid. Also, everytime I hear this dude pronounce it with a hard "j" sound, I have a mini-stroke.

[@CodeNameX001]

He might as well talked about Jeff the Killer, spelled it "Geoff", pronounced it "GEE-off", and claimed it proved Genesis for some fucking reason.

What are the kanji used for it, because my understanding is that “Ningen” means “human,” but I know the Japanese are a big fan of homophonous puns.

[@21Kyzix12]

The logical explanation for the Japanese sea creature is that it is literally a joke made up by people on 2chan (the Japanese precursor to 4chan). It's really difficult to explain the nuance, but they wrote it like ニンゲン (ningen) in katakana rather than 人間 (ningen) to make it sound more like a creature than just literally the word human in Japanese. Also, it's pronounced with a hard 'g' sound.

[@jonc4712]

That was what I wanted to comment. The word is written in katakana instead of kanji to make the creature sound/look alien to us.

[@illdie314]

His pronunciation of it as Ninjen pissed me off constantly. It's so funny that he (or his editors?) misspelled it based on his wrong pronunciation.

[@sholahverassa8582]

​@@illdie314 same here, but gotta say, English speakers with little to no knowledge of foreign languages do tend to disregard the reading rules for other languages in favour of their preferred brand of English.

It's so nice to have real facts from people who know the language. Thanks for that.

As a grown man, what made me cry wasn't hearing the Bloop, but that Joe labeled the spectrogram "The Bloop.EXE" instead of "The Bloop.WAV" Also, I don't speak Japanese, but I believe "ningen" is pronounced with a 'g' (like in "great") and not a 'j'.

[@l0rf]

You are correct about that. Just watch the documentary "Dragon Ball Super" to hear one of the characters constantly refer to us derisively as ningen with a hard g. I mean, it'd be a documentary to people like him.

[@jc3drums916]

Yes, Japanese only has one way to pronounce any letter when written with the Latin alphabet.

My family keeps prodding me with inquiries the likes of "what's wrong?" "Why are so inconsolable that even Happy Meals from McDonald's can't shake you from this emotional disposition?" But I fail to utter a single word, not even a murmur. I'm a wreck, a ceaseless blubbering wreck...

[@manakahas4927]

It's been two weeks. My family has threatened to institutionalize me. They think me mad. I'm so thirsty all the time now. I cry, but no tears flow. I have developed weathered streaks that run down my face from the salt of countless tears. I'm not crazy nor am I sad. I'm just exhausted and extremely thirsty all the time. I dream of torrents of water blasting into my throat and careening into my stomach filling me up like a Sonic fan art. I long for moisture... but most of all, I long for understanding. I didn't choose the dry boy life.

Thank you for the good work you do. I was saved from religion by a Priest when I went to a Catholic high school. His religion class explained the different authors and books of the bible, the changes and alternate interpretations in translations from ancient texts, and the appropriation of pagan holidays for use by the church. It was the best thing I ever got from Catholic school.

[@EmmaThorneVideos]

Ahh if everyone could learn the historical-critical method of studying the bible, it'd be a smarter and happier world

[@quinn0517]

@kittywampus -me as well. Whenever it comes up, people are (understandably) shocked, so seeing someone else has had that experience was cool.

[@williamwood7338]

I went to Catholic schools, and asked Monsignor Francis Duffy (a well respected leader in the church) about the contradictions in the Bible, his response was to take the stories in the Bible with a pinch of salt!. After that I soon left the church, and all religion, as there is no point in following something that you have to be skeptical about.

[@BlackHearthguard]

@@williamwood7338 To be fair, that was the element of the church I had the least problem with. I was told to ignore the Old Testament and treat the New Testament as a group of parables, a set of stories with lessons. In that respect, the bible works, at least for me, but it has no more meaning than Aesop's Fables.

[@crazybeagle7]

The way he pronounced the monster name ningen, which means ‘person’ in Japanese, sounded a lot more like ‘ninjin’ which is the word for carrot….

[@mariodriessen9740]

I’m a 56 year old man and I can tell you in all honesty that I didn’t cry when I heard that ice breaking and/or cracking. However, at the end of the video (the video that was reacted to) I almost DID cry. I’m ashamed to admit that I’m addicted to watching videos on KZbin and this man’s video was one of the worst videos I’ve ever seen. Literally! And in every way. Knowing that a man like him can make videos like that and create a following of more than two million people… that’s scary and it makes me sad. O, I hated the jacket by the way, so I can’t even give him a compliment about that. Just to be clear, I wasn’t lying when I wrote that his video was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I’m shocked. 😳

As a grown man, the sound made me raise an eyebrow at how anyone could fear that noise, but be intrigued by it.

I saw one that was 100, with dozens of arms and razor sharp teeth. Now the next round is on you."

We don't know every animal on the planet, we've hardly scratched the surface with Aquatic lifeforms, MANY undiscovered species are being discovered every day! I don't NEED the Bible to explain that do I? Also, Dinosuar is a new term, comes from the original Greek word, Deinos Saurus which means Terrible Lizard, another word, an older word used before Dinosaur, was Dragon, Komodo Dragon, remember Deinos Saurus means Terrible LIZARD, a Pterodactyl is a Wyvern, the Bible does tell you what existed in the past and possibly exists stilll today.

Biblical conspiracy theorist is a great term. It gets to the heart of it: Taking parts of the Bible literally and then massively over-reading outside context in to the text. It's also nicely differentiates from the conspiracy theory that is Young Earth Creationism, as that's another semi-literal Bible reading but puts the conspiracy outside the text and instead on 3rd parties who disagree with whatever YEC view is being taken. It also nicely incorporates flat earth conspiracies, either in a YEC or non-YEC vein that are Biblically derived. Again, great term that we should use more often as a community where it's apt.

Things that have made this grown man cry: The end of Dead Poets Society Oscar Schindler's monologue about things he could have sold to save more people The end of half of John Steinbeck's novels Writing about my abusive mother Things that have not: Oceanographic noises Stubbing my toe That time when that thing happened

[@spiker.ortmann]

Stubing a toe can make me cry, depending how hard I stub it... but I agree with your list.

[@DavidSmith-vr1nb]

I think you might be lying about "that time when that thing happened". Admit it, you cried.

[@Sableagle]

Oh captain, my captain. *sniff*

[@CannibalCatfish268]

If anyone wants to know more about the Bloop, The Octopus Lady has a very informative video on it. Also, I totally agree about all the stock footage being annoying, it's part of why I stopped watching conspiracy videos when I was younger (thank god).

[@whilwheatonIII]

I wonder how many people have been saved from conspiracy rabbit holes because of poor production value

[@dannileigh6426]

Yes Octopus Lady!

[@BillGarrett]

For just a moment I thought your sponsor was the actual science of geology, and I was thinking, "go Emma, you made it, a whole discipline of modern research wanted in on this channel!"

[@MattCrawley_Music]

As a massive lovecraft "follower" myself, Emma is now my favourite youtuber at her rants about his correct spelling of R'lyeh

[@justtryingmybest1151]

Why is the artist interpretation so cute though?

[@EmmaThorneVideos]

Love that lil guy

[@daydays12]

So nice to see you again Emma 🙂Bringing critical thinking schools to these ...'curious' beliefs, conspiracy theories...and perhaps loopy people. I am a man and I did not cry at that ice movement sound.

[@chieforce1]

Yes I cried when I heard that sound but then again I’ve been crying of laughter since I started watching this video! 😂 Great job as always!❤

[@GabeNode21]

Oh great, thanks for playing the bloop sound, now I'm weeping like a baby lmao

[@SensaiGaia1]

You channel deserves a lot more recognition and views. Every video I have seen has been enjoyable and it shows with the effort you put into making your videos. You're an amazing person Emma, never forget that :)

[@jsmith3798]

Ah, worry not.. I don't remember exact numbers or anything, but she had somewhere around 60k subscribers when I first started watching her channel, and a fraction of the views. And the point is that really wasn't very long ago. Her channel's definitely on the rise, growing pretty quickly. And that's awesome because I agree, she definitely deserves it.

[@lesscott4301]

This man is like the bloke who corners you and your friends in the pub and starts trying to convince you of total bollocks. You look around and find that the only people interested are those so drunk that they need to concentrate very hard to remain sitting upright.

[@Scuzzbopper.]

I’m with you on that style of KZbin voice. His stuff seems a lot like the content-mill style channels (talks a lot about speculation - what “people say” - lots of stock footage, takes forever without making any point, not really saying anything, etc.).

[@mr.perfectcell1887]

I cried when that sound came on. It made me burst out laughing and, while I was distracted, I stepped on a lego.

[@draig2614]

Thank you for my Saturday afternoon giggle! Two thoughts from this (mainline Protestant) biblical scholar/pastor: 1) The modern Hebrew word for whale is “leviathan” (transliterated, since I don’t have a Hebrew keyboard on my tablet) 2) Adding to your list of things that the bible is not - not written by a single author in a single time period. There is no singular description of the leviathan in the bible, just as there is no singular description of a dragon in modern English-language literature. (And a bonus 3rd thought - I’m very disappointed that Joe didn’t explore the leviathan as described in the book of Job into his video. Here, leviathan is something feared by people, yet part of a litany of things that God created and that God delights in - Job 41 describes the fearsome leviathan, but it has to be taken in the context of Job 38-41. But I guess moving beyond prooftexting would risk destroying his worldview.)

[@bailey6304]

As wild as these videos are, they're definitely entertaining. I love all this lore, it'd be great for a fantasy setting. Thanks for covering this :D edit: oh hey, ninjen! I love those little guys. they remind me of the frescoe nightwalkers. too cute to be scary imo.

[@tinedossche2266]

I love your content, I don't understand why you don't have millions of followers, because you deserve it

[@arcanealchemist3190]

you really shouldnt be posting the bloop online, i broke into tears immediately upon hearing it! i wasnt prepared for this

[@EmmaThorneVideos]

I should probably add a trigger warning

[@popechucky]

This guy is almost ‘physically painful’ to watch… his ‘smooth, seductive’ voice has me scared… 😂😂😂Those aren’t sightings… THOSE are art😂😂😂

[@evilDMguy]

Thank you for watching these types of things and reporting on them. I would go mad if I had to watch videos like Joe's without your wonderful commentary! Take care!

[@aymenboussouar1880]

Man how old are u!?

[@cartoonfan925]

His stock footage used at time 7.22 on your video is hilarious. He uses a magnifier that doesn’t magnify anything just makes it slightly blurrier. Brilliant.

[@tevenpowell8023]

It cracks me up everytime that Emma's impression of Joe comes out like conspiracy-theorist Ringo Starr.

[@notbydesign3316]

Emma, the sanity you bring to the internet is a treasure.

[@lodragan]

I'm glad you're doing this. I don't have the patience or time to do what needs to be done.

[@DukedaHyolf7712]

In the middle of academic seminar, just started bawling my eyes out at bloop

[@joachimschoder]

I definitely cried when I heard the sound. Not because of the sound but because he considers this to be evidence of something.

[@georgefoster6380]

Love your videos Emma! Seems like no one picked up on his misspelling of Antarctica. He spelled it “ Antartica” . Two million subscribers and he can’t spell! What a riot!

[@spiker.ortmann]

He just forgot he was making the video in english, that's why he used the wrong spelling... and that's the only misspelling that can be justified with that logic, so I still suffer way more from the others...

[@marcamador1991]

I love you Emma! You help me articulate how i feel. Thank you!❤

[@alexmcgilvery3878]

Joe was so frustrating I had to go clean the dog hair off my coat.

[@davemonty1650]

That sound made me cry. I am balling. His voice. Not the bloop. I can’t take his voice

[@inktologist]

Emma is too cool. You talk about the most fun topics. Awesomeness!

[@MayonakaMidnighter]

Always trying to share your work with anyone I can, you're incredible

[@eric2500]

The inconsistencies are a result of trying to make sense of a monotheistic world view - it is so much easier to make sense of it all when you acknowledge that there are MANY goddesses and gods! Happy New Year from your friendly online Neopagan - one of them.

[@cobrasys]

Grown man here, didn't so much cry as snort when I heard the bloop sound. I did, however, howl with laughter when Joe captioned the "file" of the bloop sound as "TheBloop.exe". During the Limewire days, his computer must have been worse than a Petri dish.

[@MithunKalan]

the voice and cadence of jimmy is like 90% of history channels on youtube. i need to get a browser extension to filter shit like this out

[@christopherbiomass7155]

I find Joe's story telling voice soporific. Maybe the number of views of his videos are people playing his them in the evening for the somniferous qualities.

[@daniel7035]

I’m literally still crying about the bloop. It was life changing

[@Spec1alD]

it took me atleast 10 years to get out of christianity. my entire family+extended can't talk about anything else. they scare me, because they make major decisions based on the lord's word. if my home burned down out of nowhere they would ask what sins have i committed, and judge me. it's painful and scary. i got the FRIK out of there. now i just get tons of text messages saying "god loves you" "he is risen" etc.. and i met a friend who recently came to jesus and now he cant stop talking about how we wont live another 2 years, because of the solar storms. yet all he does is drink and try to cheat on his wife. sorry, trauma dump. Emma thorne is great.

[@renatocorvaro6924]

Hope life gets better for you and you find some better friends and family.

[@jameshellard7042]

It was during this week that I learned of the Dunning-Kruger effect. I feel that this applies to every KZbin evangelist.

[@renatocorvaro6924]

More like their audience. Most of them don't actually believe their own bullshit, they're lifetime grifters.

[@Flappyduck22]

That noise sounded like my belly.

[@duanewilkinson9739]

All I’m going to say about this video Emma is : Loved your superb sarcasm and constant little giggles as you dissect this complete nonsense from Joe Kirby … Also love the anger at various points as this guy spouts his conspiracy theories….. Thank you so much for the voices , wit and wisdom Little Duck 😁😁

[@tristanturner2782]

As a man, I can confirm that since I heard the bloop sound I have been uncontrollably sobbing.

[@ericdere]

My favourite see monster must be Jǫrmungandr, from Norse mythology, the serpent that is so large, it circumvents the Earth and bites its own tail. People used to believe in all sorts of cryptozoology until people began to explore the world and found that not only those creatures did not exist, but that the actual animals in those far lands were even stranger than imagined.

[@BooksandBuns]

I wouldn't call a mythical god serpent a 'cryptid'. Cryptozoology is a very specific type of conspiracy theory, & conflating it with folklore & mythology is, like, really offensive. Especially for Jormungandr who's the son of a god, & not just some regular sea monster

[@BooksandBuns]

@spaceboy.digital it's not evil, tho...

[@Sableagle]

"My Dear Henry, I have arrived at the part of the map which you spplied to me that is marked "Here Be Dragons." So far, I have found no dragons, but I did find the two creatures shown in the attached drawings, which I trust you shall find as fascinating as we did. Yours, Joseph." "Dear Joseph, the flightless bird with the incredibly long beak I might have believed, but that thing with the duck beak and the spurs is clearly made up. I suggest you replace all food and drinking water at the earliest opportunity and get some rest. Yours, Henry."

[@DocHayes420]

As a grown man, I did not cry.

[@7tyrosine]

I only cry from the scraping of ice when it becomes a beautiful sculpture afterwards.

[@flurng]

Well, the "bloop" doesn't make me cry, but YOU'VE got me crying with laughter!!!

[@vittoriovatteroni7375]

For Christ's sake it reminded me so much of those paranormal videos I watched when I was seven

[@monorail4252]

That sound would make me cry because that's how I feel my joints sound when they grind against each other.

[@opr6516]

Fun fact: the bloop sound was also used as the kick off catalyst in the history channel "documentary" "validating" the "existence" of merpeople.
