It's some douchebag being shut down argumentwise, but it's not a big deal. It's the internet. That's all people do here, get shut down, and then you take a screenshot of that one moment and share it around and there's no more context and no continuation just brutal owns. Nobody actually stays shut down and none of it ever means anything. It's such crap

They have poo poo taste and should feel bad. The former because he hardly makes any videos and the latter packpedals when his predictions backfire on him hilariously.

"I can't believe it's not Attack on Titan will be the anime of the season" to "it was supposed to be stupid all along guis"

"Let's ignore how Rem's infatuation with Subaru parallels Subaru's infatuation with Emelia, or how the entire show was about Subaru maturing into a better person by accepting what he can and can't do, literary devices in muh animu, what's that?" Or how about the entire last arc was a critique on the Otaku mindset in another world with absolutely no remorse or half hearted gut punches to Subaru and by proxy that archetype. Yeah totally Otakubait, seeing a show pretty much saying that Subaru's Nice Guy tm act is a load of crap and the female protag just cuts it off with him is what Otaku want to hear.

Game really still doesn't seem that bad. I mean I hardly knew anything about it until it came out, then watched some people play it some and all I could think was "This seems neat enough" but that's on me for not having gone full incredible hype train that existed before it came out I guess. I dunno how people keep jumping on the "GONNA BE THE BEST GAME EVERRRRRRR" wagons time after time and keep ruining games for themselves.

The context is him repeatedly being antagonistic and harassing people (most often women, not always online), but I get your point. Also that Film Crit Hulk works for his site, I guess.

The guy literally went "*chuckle* Yeah you can" when asked if you can grief other players, and said "The only way to see how you look is for another player to look at you". The game has zero multiplayer code. How is that not lying?

No, actually that was not the point, but thanks for jumping to the magical island of Conclusions because I phrased it in a way you didn't like.

For the record: People who say "Redpilled" and "Cuckservatives" are monstrous idiots who are worse than any of the people who say "Woke"

I have no idea what you are talking about. Your post read like an outburst of non-sequiturs where it's hard to see where one thought begins or ends, if it indeed begins or ends. For my part, I was being cheeky since you were being cheeky that towards someone who made a video holding someone accountable for peddling a product he lied about.

ANYWAYS. I'm gonna go back a bit to Hbomb's latest video and bring something up that's actually worthy of discussion (I hope). It did mention about how Tarantino has views opposing those of the alt-right and all that poo poo and my god. I watched Django Unchained the other night again and can you imagine some "White men are so oppressed :qq:" seeing that? Any time some awful white slaver or anyone working with one gets killed it's insane and over-the-top as gently caress to the point where I could only laugh but when anyone black has violence done do them it's so grounded to the point it's disturbing. And that's not even getting into the politics of the Hateful Eight which is its own beast to tackle.

Tarantino has specifically stated that the slavers and enablers in Django die over-the-top bloody deaths because they're the bad guys. It's supposed to be cathartic ridiculousness. Contrast that with the good guys and you see their deaths treated with gravitas and decency.

This is my first Jim Sterling video I could be arsed to actually watch, and I completely agree with him. For something touted as the next generation of gaming, it all feels so fundamentally limited.

E: I skimmed, did anyone link to the new RLM video where they actually talk about the important part of movies, for once? I found it legit fascinating.
