    and how Cyberpunk Edgerunners subverts it

    That show does literally every single thing he complains about, he just gives it a pass because it's got above-average production quality and writing.

    That's how you can tell these clowns aren't doing any actual media analysis, it's all just surface level reactionary gibberish.

      i knew it was some poop take like "the kid who throws his life away because he thinks he can win at capitalism by just punching harder than anybody else is right, actually", but thanks for confirming.

      Strong male character is when they abandon their partner and throw their life away to pursue some intangible level of success.

    Depressing thought

    worst thing is the amount of views... most things we do will never be as relevant as some kid angry his toys don't look right

      SEO is one hell of a drug.

      But so much of this shit is artificially juiced, it doesn't really bother me. The same terminally online guys watching video after video while getting more hateful and deranged will never build anything lasting.

      YouTube Fascists are only capable of destroying themselves and everyone around them.

          The grift rakes in a lot of cash.

          For example I'm sure geeks and gamers hates Brie Larson, but not 100+ (if I recall correctly) anti-Brie videos kinda hate.

          because self-identified "Gamers" used to say the n-word when playing online games and are mad that they can't do this without consequences anymore

          now they spend less and less time gaming and more time "critiquing" games (regurgitating chud culture war shit they get from 4chan, youtube and twitter)

    The greatest feat of projection from 4chan and /pol/, who G*mers take their marching orders from was calling anyone who's not a fascist an NPC. The gamergate to fash pipeline is an ideological straight line in lockstep.

        So a basic article stating what most people know about dweebs wanting to be infantalized by a mommywife but at the same time wanting to dominate mommywife?

    NGL, I have a soft spot for the ongoing series of Drewmora videos in which he calmly explains how X Daedric Prince/Elder Scrolls supervillain is actually a Good Guy(TM) and is more complex than we give them credit for, and now I am a Marxist-Leninist-Mehrunes Dagonist.

    But I guess that's more weird-ass lore stuff (bordering on fanfic) and not unhinged :frothingfash: ranting.

      The deep lore of Elder Scrolls is vast and filled with the many psychotropic visions of Kirkbride, mainly about penis spears.

          Yup, and this is honestly why I'm happy he's so upset people meme him in the TESLORE community and other spaces that he was high as a kite making up Morrowind lore. Dude thought he was god's gift cuss he made deep mythology lore for a piece of fiction (Tolkien did it first).
