i'm as left as they come and i think i subbed to mde at one point. probably still am

i listened to that interview because i'd seen stuff like the 2070 paradigm shift vid and whatever... this is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgT4sjRiLAY) and thought the guy was funny as gently caress. i was kind of taken aback when it just turned into like an hour of hyde just uncritically praising trump and deepthroating alt-right talking points with fantano just nodding along in the background.

i don't think this 'revelation' really positively or negatively affects fantano's music criticism beyond a general 'this guy i'm watching is a bit of a stupid motherfucker politically' but i find comedy to be funnier when you're punching up, and it's hard to like hyde or find him funny what with him openly relishing punching down.

e: gently caress i just read the article and most of this is covered. and there's a sam hyde thread. gently caress

alt-right Nazi humor is always so tepid.

'ha ha kill jews it funy get it black people arent human ho ho ho'

There's no punchline because in place of the pleasure one gets from an actual joke is the boner a nazi gets from thinking about killing 'degenerate' races and peoples.

yeah I got you. I just think everything is getting a little out of control. it's outrage culture run amok and the explicit mission is to make the target lose their income. a mostly apolitical bernie sanders supporter just had his entire livelihood sicc'd, on purpose, for clicks, because he walked a little too close to the line on ironic jokes and internet memes.

it's not even really about things fantano said: it's about things he associated with too closely. one of the main charges against him personally is "he thinks the n word is funny." every niggerstomper58 reposter is culpable.

many times in the sam hyde interview fantano says "I don't agree with your politics at all"

hes a self confessed bernie bro married to a black woman and has made a 15 minute video on why he refuses to say the n word

He also made sure to put a disclaimer in front of the Sam Hyde podcast saying he didn't agree or stand by the things he said, especially with respect to the Lena Dunham comments. Funny how that didn't show up in the article

if ppl want to stop watching his videos because of The FADER's article, that's their business. nobody is making anybody do anything.

I was never a fan of his, and the very concept of reviewing memes is enough to make me dislike someone, but he never came across as alt-right. If that reddit compilation is at all accurate it seems like a pretty obvious smear.

the article was meant as a straight-up assassination. no doubt about it.

but nah bro, they didn't cancel those shows for "political reasons" they cancelled because those venues don't gently caress with fantano anymore, now that they learned he's a dumb edgelord. you can disagree with their reasons for doing so but nobody is making them do poo poo.

I don't really understand how music reviews are a popular thing. In this golden age of the internet, it's so easy to discover music and listen to it for free. So why would you go to music reviews? And even for pop artists who have all their poo poo locked down, it's easy to find streaming songs or some other cheap/free way of listening to music. Why wouldn't you just listen to the music and decide for yourself whether you like it or not?

I suppose it could be useful for discovering new bands... but still, streaming services that actually play the music seem like they would be far more helpful than listening to some guy talk about music. Or maybe people don't actually want to listen to music, they just want to hear someone talk about it so they can be "in the know"? Idgi.

The most retarded thing are the "react" youtubers. I can understand a review even if it's not my thing personally, but why do millions of people watch people listening to songs without adding any insight. Why not just... listen to the song yourself??!

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.
