I always enjoyed JO's videos, even though I don't really care about anime, because they came across as a cool person, so best of luck!

Yeah JO, I know I've been a bit gruff with you at times, but as far as I'm concerned you're the anime critic with the best head on their shoulders. And not just because you have the Correct Opinion on FMA: Brotherhood.

I'm kinda schizo on NFKRZ myself. Here's a video he did about the BOB/flat earth slapfight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFV4X9WBvrM When he's funny he's pretty funny and on the mark. Sometimes he just falls so flat though.

Bear in mind, he is Russian, although I haven't seen him actually being racially hateful or anything besides a stereotypical FPS gamer. Like it or not it's interesting to see other "critics" from other places besides the West and what content they like to target.

Yeah, very "interesting." I was wondering if you'd try to defend it that way. I just HAVE to link this video guys, what else can you expect from those loving Russians am I right? :godwinning:

Also last time I checked calling someone a "loving Jew" for being greedy and equating Jews to rats is "actually being racially hateful," ~like it or not~

This news about Jake comes not long after a friend revealed himself as trans as well, so now I can only conclude that there is some sort of epidemic of dudes happening.

Well you see he's from Russia and discrimination against Jews is common in Russia, so it's okay. Same way we give a pass to Southerners for using slurs for black peope.

Yeah, the "React" they're trademarking is the youtube/react url and channel title, not the word as used in a video title or the concept of filming people responding to things. I hope they didn't get ownership of any of those people in their videos, though. I like that one bald old guy.

I'm kinda sad looking at the episode listing for Tropes vs Women S2, seeing that it's all going to be dead-obvious stuff; but I'm even sadder knowing that that's where games are at. Extra Credits did an episode about "True Female Characters", but it's pretty clear that Anita would be very happy with female characters being written the same as male ones because that would be a major step up from being a collection of sex pixels who exist to get murdered so the player can get revenge.

Honestly, her problem is that it's like she only plays games she doesn't like. She should play some Atelier games or something.
