    E-celebs were a mistake. I know they're not really any worse than regular celebrities, but there's something about them that makes them more unpleasant.

      his gamer character he plays was also one of the most absurdly lame things to blow up. it's just a overweight, early middle-ish aged dude throwing a fit over the smallest thing and somehow that is extremely funny to people? i'll never understand that one lol.

        Maybe? That line seems like it's blurring/ being deliberately blurred over time though.

    This is a name I see like once or twice a year. I think he's a super big shot youtuber but I've managed to never see a vid of his, and no one I've known irl has ever so much as mentioned him.

      He had some popular videos where he played the character of a fat nerd with a lisp. Then he became infamous for being a fat nerd without a lisp, and also for being a :galaxy-brain: gamergate centrist on twitter.

      old-school YouTuber from the time you could get popular for bad content with no effort behind it.

    iirc it was someone who was harassing him and telling him that he was going to murder him in his home. Boogie said on twitter he regretted not shooting him when he saw him at his door

      Hold on, who threatened to murder who initially? Boogie or Frank?

          Well... understandable then. Afaik, in a lot of cases, just shooting someone can sometimes be legally safer since corpses can't testify (This is not legal advice, and for self-defense purposes you should not shoot at anyone unless you are reasonably in fear for your life and have exhausted all other options, and firing a warning shot does not count as an option).

            Pretty sure Arkansas is a "stand your ground anywhere" state.

              I know, I mean more in a "legally safe bet if you don't happen to know state laws and least less ethically questionable in any case" way. Generally the advice given for self defense emphasizes that if you have pulled your gun out, something has gone VERY VERY WRONG.

                Oh yeah, that would be the reasonable person's self defense use of a firearm.

                Quoth the internet, because I wasn't 100% sure:

                The 'stand your ground' law will end Arkansas' duty to retreat if the person using deadly force is not a felon, is lawfully present, has a reasonable belief they are being threatened, is not engaged in criminal activity and if the person is not the initial aggressor

                    ... Or defend themselves and then get punished for having a firearm or using a firearm (if able to disarm attacker), hit with a manslaughter charge, violating probation, etc.

                    I had a thought but I'm not going to do the work of trying to figure out what the racial breakdown of felons in Arkansas is to figure out if there are more minority felons than white felons, so I'll be a bad person and guess that there's a touch of racism involved.

    I remember a video where he explained the Xbox One was a brilliant name because 360 degrees equates a full rotation. I never felt so vicariously stupid for the viewers that took him seriously.
