Agreed. I liked game grumps for a little bit but Egoraptor is a creepy gently caress so that didn't last long. There's other channels I refer to when I refer to the asshats besides just gaming.

Reaction Videos (stealing someone else's video then staring at it)

:letsplay:

Daily Vlogs

Minecraft Roleplay (these exist)

Top ten Vids

Tons more things that people shouldn't be getting money for. Some fuckers even split something that should be one video into several just to get more ad revenue.

Egoraptors really dumb and contradicts his own criticism constantly and people still think hes smart fod some reason :shrug:

I kinda remember arin constantly treating jon like an idiot and demeaning his every opinion.

History will prove him right I guess.

I watched an episode when they first started out because hey I liked LPs and I liked Metal Gear Awesome and people were saying this was good. Couldn't make it more than a minute in. Then I heard Jon left and people were furious that a horrible son of an Israeli JEW took his place and this was the worst thing ever and I actually really enjoyed the video I watched because Dan seems like a ridiculously nice and genuinely funny person. I went back and tried the Jon videos again and they were pretty bad universally while about 1 in 5 of the newer ones I genuinely enjoy, especially when they had Rob Schneider on or that video where they made fun of AVGN copycats.

The only thing I remember about game grumps is the sonic 06 one where Jon just dropped a bunch of n-bombs for literally no reason.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing completely but doesn't letting people ironically be racist encourage the unironic racists to come out and go "yeah me too I got a good racist joke!" and whatnot?

How do you tell the difference between ironic racism and unironic racism? Is it fair for people to make obviously racist statements then come back later and go "well I was just joking relax?"


I mean obv I'm not saying like, Monty Python people shouldn't be allowed to dress up like Nazis and make fun of them but there's a world of difference between that and just 'ironically' dropping the n-word all the time or whatever.

Juhani - She's one of the optional NPCs, who you can even kill instead of recruiting. Whoever wrote that article also calls her the first lesbian Jedi, so we'll need to cut to Jontron to see how he feels about that.

Tits in video games can be extremely cringey, especially those of the anime variety. I will take the criticism of them more seriously when a video game writer manages to write even one romance plot that is less cringey than the most egregious anime tits out there. Bioware, I'm looking at you and your lovely fanfic NPC gently caress simulators.

I didn't say you weren't allowed to have thoughts and say things lol

Just that maybe dropping the n-word all the time just for shock value is kinda immature/childish and a little racist yeah. I mean I did it as a teenager too but now that I'm older it just seems tacky and gouche and why?

Anyway calm down goof troop I didn't say anything was tantamount to genocide , I just said maybe your "irony" isn't irony at all and is instead just you being an rear end other people shouldn't have to deal with on the regular.


Also, look up the definition of the word "irony" bc you're not using it correctly whatsoever lmao.

Sounds like the irony here is you don't understand how big of a toolbag you come across as to the rest of society by insisting you should be allowed to say racial slurs "ironically" with no consequences


You're allowed to have thoughts and say things, that doesn't mean everyone else isn't allowed to call you an idiot for thinking/saying those things. Free speech works both ways like that.
