TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler's b'day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.
Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I'll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc'ing the channel now.
Whew. I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.
Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its "wat about hummus tho" and both-siding it till you've purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.
Can you tell I'm disappointed and still bitter?
His videos are really good, he really developed an identity outside of being the AVGN counter. I recommend his video on 3DO Doom. It's a cool ass story about a legendary trans game developer from the 90s. Retro game spaces do generally seem to be a lot better, but there are certainly a lot of chuds just like in modern gaming. There's a reason Billy Mitchell wears an American flag tie everywhere he goes.
I just can't think of many youtubers who have been around as long as Happy Video Game Nerd and haven't had any moments that make me question him. He hasn't even kept his nose completely clean from site drama, such as calling out IH in no uncertain terms for being a nazi. He doesn't do this often, but whenever his posting gets into the "drama"-ish territory, he shoots at the right spots to the point it doesn't feel like drama. It's just not letting the nazi lie about being a nazi
He's now extra great. When I saw he was the happy video game nerd reborn I was very glad for him. Happy video game nerd wad decent and mainly held back by being a ripoff. There are Billy Mitchell's in the crowd but at least he's a laughing stock or hated or a bit of both. Restoring arcade machines seems to be becoming the Old Punk hobby in my town as well. Being able to play Ninja Turtles between sets at the bar thst does punk shows is pretty tight.
