| − | This article refers to Poop AIDS and should not be confused with actual HIV AIDS (a disease caused by [[ScraBotnik|having sex]]).
| + | In the early, more anarchistic and less sensitive days of the YouTube Poop Community, '''AIDS''' existed as a derogatory term for videos that relied heavily on the use of [[Spadinner]] as the predominant editing technique, WMM as the predominant editor, and [[Mama Luigi]] and [[CD-i]] as the predominant sources used. |

| + | ==History== |
| | | | |
| − | ==In brief==
| + | AIDS was originally coined by none other than [[Conrad Slater]] who decided that excessive quality control need to be in place for YouTube Poop sometime around 2007, creating a massive stigma around this style of making videos that persisted until the early 2010s, when people began to come to their senses and rediscover the comedy goldmine of these stigmatized sources and editing techniques in the first place. Many videos of this type that were damned in the early years are now seen as classics, and just about everyone who championed the stigma regrets so in the present day. |
| − | A diagnosis of AIDS generally means a complete failure of everything a video tries to achieve. Even if the video attempts to achieve nothing at all ([[nihilism]]), it fails at that! It is a result of a complete failure of the immunity the trash aesthetics offers and is very difficult to shake off but not impossible to cure.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Early strains of AIDS were believed to be sexually transmitted (i.e. by posting video responses), but it has since come to light that AIDS is a Pooper disease and not a Poop disease - once a Pooper gets AIDS, all of his/her videos are infected!
| + | An initial reactionary movement to this stigma was something called "AIDLESS AIDS"; videos that used CD-i and Mama Luigi but with a focus on excessively heavy editing, often to the point of distorting the sources beyond recognition. This was at the peak of its popularity from about 2008-2010, and was seen everywhere from solo videos to a great number of tennis matches. These videos today are not as well known or as remembered, but they very much still have their audience. Additionally, some WMM poopers such as [[Emperor Ing]] acted in direct rebellion, making precisely the kind of videos that were being damned at this time and making them quite fucking hilarious. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Common strains==
| + | One sign of the tides turning away from the stigma occurred in late 2010, when [[MeiAIDS]] under the name ButterflyPip uploaded a 15-minute video called "The YTP Community is Bad", a direct satirical attack against the No-Spadinner mindset of the day. It featured characters from ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'' saying [[Spaghetti]] and [[Dinner]] followed by Cave People booing and hissing, with the rest of the video being taking up by long, minimal edits with slow pacing, acting very solidly in contrast with what was at fashion during this era. From 2011-2012, "ironic" uses of [[Spadinner]] became fashionable and began to lead to a greater re-acceptance of their original uses and videos from years previously. As time went on, enforcement of the stigma began to lessen more and more, and by 2014 the community had more or less resigned to a place of more open accessibility to [[Spadinner]] and it's legacy in the older days of the form. These videos have often been returned to and rediscovered, finding new life in the present day, and [[Spadinner]] quotes are still recognized as among the fabric lexicon of YouTube Poop as a culture itself. This part of the community's history is recognized with the featuring of Feral AIDS Children (seen in the image to the right) on [[YouChew Trading Cards|YouChew Trading Card]] #58. It bears the following description: |
| − | The number of mutant strains of AIDS, each of which has its own set of symptoms and recommend remedy - however, each of these can been fatal and can result in public humiliation, shame and resignation. Many AIDS victims have even deleted their own YouTube account to help prevent the spread of AIDS. | |
| | | | |
| − | ===Mama Luigi AIDS===
| + | "In ye days of olde, Feral AIDS Children were used as a snarky representation of the poopers who relied on poopisms like memes, censor beeps, MSPaint jobs and WMM special effects and sources like Mama Luigi and CD-i. Being such a pooper in 2007 YouChew guaranteed outcast status. In recent years however, much of the YouTube Poop community has disowned these elitest attitudes, likewise realizing the jocular reference to AIDS was, in retrospect, quite distasteful." |
| − | Created by [[Retrojape]], [[Mama Luigi]] fetish was one of the founding principals of YouTube Poop, based on the idea that by obsessively reusing the same episode of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', new and bizarre meanings of it would be made, not unlike cracking a code; although it has been disputed whether this was his ultimate intention, it is far more likely that the outcome would be unknown.
| |
| | | | |
| − | With Mama Luigi becoming a trend by late 2006, it is recognized that it then became tired and in danger of becoming a fad as the January 2007 boom of Poop popularity took hold. Even then, though, by the time [[The Electric Cheese]] made "MAMA LUIGI, RAPED, INVERTED AND REVERSED" in February, one of his first poops (''see right''), there was a groundswell movement against the use of Mama Luigi clips in Poops, resulting in its use diminishing significantly.
| + | Indeed, before this edit, this page was itself incredibly distasteful, probably one of the most uncomfortable pages on this wiki. Thankfully it has seen the revision that it has desperately needed! |
| | | | |
| − | Quite simply, by Spring 2007, no one remembered the point of using specifically Mama Luigi clips and it dismissed. It was at this point that Mama Luigi, the character, was born, and let it be said it was '''Born with AIDS'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | For the new strain of Poopers using it, it was wrongly assumed that the 'joke' was in the feminization of Luigi in the same way as [[Gay Luigi]] was becoming a household name. This new reinvention of Mama Luigi was instead to principally sample actual utterances of people saying the phrase 'Mama Luigi' - audio samples of them would find themselves in other videos.
| + | [[Category:YouTube Poop]] |
| − | | |
| − | The notion that the episode of ''Super Mario World'' had hidden meaning that could only be found by remixing it was completely rejected by third-generation Poopers, many of which were in the habit of ripping sampling actual Poops rather than primary sources. Poopers would liberally use Mama Luigi quotes having not even seen the episode it referred to.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Youtube Poop had created its own messiah, whose name meant more than his message, and whose followers, in blind pursuit of lulz, were completely failing to use in a even marginally interesting way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{vid|NUwiDwfdxyQ}}
| |
| − | Some argue that Mama Luigi AIDS was cured by [[DoctorPoopnik]] ("THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU OVERUSE POOP" - pictured right) and that it died out or was superseded by CD-i AIDS but many of the earlier generation of poopers still shudder at the damage caused by Mama Luigi.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Very few are immune to Mama Luigi AIDS in the modern world of Poop and that, rather than being stamped out, most Poopers instead managed to build up an immunity to it and can filter out the sound of it from Poops. This makes it near impossible to achieve a '''WIN''' from Mama Luigi, but does not result in the same hatred and fear of infection that it did some months before.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===CD-i AIDS===
| |
| − | [[Image:Monthlater.jpg|thumb]]
| |
| − | In the same way as later cases of Mama Luigi AIDS cases are not treated with any seriousness, so too is CD-i AIDS, ignored as it can be assumed that most 3rd+ generation are born with it. This flawed assertion assumes that the first few videos a Pooper makes will have AIDS as Poop is something learned rather than something made intuitively, the danger here being that CD-i AIDS is now more well known than YouTube Poop itself and results in the death of a noob with potential.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To understand CD-i AIDS, it's important to understand the original purpose of CD-i in YouTube Poop, how and why it works, and how a WIN can be achieved.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Firstly, there is trash aesthetics: that which is bad, laughably awful and crappy. Good examples include daytime TV, old adverts, MicroSoft Paint, clip art, or art made by non artists and children. All of these things are trash because at a certain point in time were were considered good by some people (even if a minority). Kids really did love Ronald McDonald and Michael Jackson, and Nintendo SNES was a cutting edge piece of technology that meant you didn't have to pay a fortune in an arcade.

| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Boss stage2 intro stage3 011 1 0001.jpg|thumb|"Who is this guy? He should be raped until we know the truth!"]]
| |
| − | So when Philips was allowed to use Nintendo brands such as Mario and Link for its own games, it should have meant a great new game on cutting edge technology. Instead, the thing stank of cheap rip-off that bore very little resemblance to either the Nintendo games or the ''Mario'' cartoon series. In short, whoever the guy who portrayed Mario in ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' was, he sure as hell wasn't Mario. '''Philips had raped Mario''' and in the interests of justice is was important to share with the world the full extent, in as greater detail as possible how wrong he is and how much we love the real Mario by destroying any imposters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In just the same way as Mama Luigi was being re-coded and deciphered by a dedicated team of Poopers, so too was ''Hotel Mario'' and the two ''Zelda'' games. And although the motivations differed, the results were the same. New meaning was being created by the subversion of that which was believed to be suspicious and wrong.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{vid|IHRRhUKaWes}}
| |
| − | Sadly, some of these new videos were extremely funny, like '''What is Spaghetti''' by [[JeffLindblom]] (pictured right) and resulted in many 3rd generation poops merely copying it and other winning poops in the blind pursuit of lulz.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Windows Movie Maker AIDS?===
| |
| − | [[Image:mspainfaids.jpg|thumb|MicroSoft Paint is common amongst WMM AIDS]]
| |
| − | [[Wizkid837]] has done some research, and found out that all forms of AIDS may be linked to Windows Movie Maker (WMM). This has yet to be proven, as many epic Poops have been made with WMM, and there has been failures with more advanced software.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==How to cure AIDS==
| |
| − | [[Image:bluescreeen.jpg|thumb|Blue screen text is a sign sure that it's a very serious case indeed. Treat victims with care as they often get nasty when reminded of their condition]]
| |
| − | The most common solution is abstention from whichever strain you are effected by but this has resulted in mixed results as like giving up an addiction, substitition is never quite the same and poopers often die off soon after thinking they are cured. A good example of this is [[MVJ52197]] who to the extreme measure of prescribing himself a course of ''[[Final Destination]]'' but quickly found himself lost and not knowing where he was or what he was doing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the danger of substitution is that the Pooper will lose sight of method and [[Poopisms]] and will instead merely re-edit a single media source and find themselves making the same creative decisions as normal YouTube users in pursuit of lulz.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Instead it is suggested that AIDS victims be encouraged to watch as many Poops as popular by recognised Poop practitioners in the hope that diversity will safely educate them and the richness of method and content that is available to them. By reassuring patients that CD-i and other sources can be safely handled it is hoped that they may swiftly recover from their shocking disgnosnes and go on to make many safe WINS.

A sobering reminder of the early days of the YouTube Poop community
In the early, more anarchistic and less sensitive days of the YouTube Poop Community, AIDS existed as a derogatory term for videos that relied heavily on the use of Spadinner as the predominant editing technique, WMM as the predominant editor, and Mama Luigi and CD-i as the predominant sources used.
History
AIDS was originally coined by none other than Conrad Slater who decided that excessive quality control need to be in place for YouTube Poop sometime around 2007, creating a massive stigma around this style of making videos that persisted until the early 2010s, when people began to come to their senses and rediscover the comedy goldmine of these stigmatized sources and editing techniques in the first place. Many videos of this type that were damned in the early years are now seen as classics, and just about everyone who championed the stigma regrets so in the present day.
