I've never heard anything bad about Yahtzee in the milkshake duck sense. I still watch Zero Punctuation once a month or so, and none of the jokes come off CHUDly.

Doc Neutral posted:

I don't think yahtzee ever was a chud, I mean even back in the days when I still used watched his poo poo I remember him being quite vocal both in video and in writing about the hosed up message sent being military shooters like CoD, where you go around shooting browns while pretending that an actual empire is the plucky little guy standing up to a bully and the dog poo poo potrayal of women in video games, who're almost always half naked while fighting next to their fully armoured male counterparts. It's really banal now in retrospect but pre-Sarkeesian he was one of the few people in games media who even pretend it was an issue, guess he either changed his mind or didn't have a spine enough to follow his colleagues in leaving the escapist after "both sides" bullshit.


Yeah, like I said, I never saw him do anything explicitly chud-worthy, but felt that he probably could have slowly fallen into that camp as time went on. Especially since The Escapist seems to have had quite a few right-wingers on staff in recent years from what I've heard.

his attempt to diversify away from a disembodied voice was to combine video games and bars which of course worked out as as well as you would expect it to

Speaking of, has he been milkshake ducked yet? I used to watch his videos a lot back in the day and he seemed to be into some of that edgy type humor that used to be popular back in the day (and is still popular with GG'ers today) though he never did anything too explicit.

He's fairly vocally woke in an economic and racial sense, but gets reactionary about feminism, though he recognizes it and says he's been trying to get better about it. It's apparently cause he had a series of incredibly toxic relationships in his teens and early twenties such that he was volcel for years. He talked about it when he was doing commentary on the games he made like 10 years ago or whatever.

I assume Yahtzee is still with the escapist because it means he has to do like three hours of work a week and doesn't have to bother with anything other than talking into a microphone and editing(assuming the videos aren't thrown together by an intern at this point) and leaving would require either finding a new network that would be less desperate to hold on to him, or taking on more work by going indie.

According to some of the other escapist people who left, he's locked into a really disadvantageous contract.

the right is convinced that every major city has whole areas that are entirely taken over by evil immigrants and ISIS that the lib governments are too afraid to do anything about, and that these neighborhoods are spreading sharia law and this and that. It's a perfect confluence of their belief that ACTUALLY everybody does agree with everything they think, it's just that they aren't brave enough to say so and of course their pants making GBS threads terror at anything even slightly different

one of the big proponents of this is Pete Hoekstra, who said that there are numerous sharia-run no-go zones in Denmark, and this didn't work out for him too well when he was made Ambassador to the Netherlands and reporters there demanded he point out the no-go zones on a map

oh yeah. there was some random lurker who posted a thread in GBS like two years ago (quickly gassed) with links to private videos with next to no views. my guess is that he took the videos.

what were the videos? this guy driving around suburban neighborhoods in parts of dallas-fort worth filming muslims and talking about how they were "taking over" and all of that. it was creepy as hell. the guy was filming women and kids.

this sort of thing is really common in a lot of pro-gun message boards, as well as pretty much any board that caters primarily to boomers like college football fan boards

going on "urban safaris" in their big SUVs and filming some commentary, then they all post about how they'd tactically defend the 7/11 from wave after wave of terrorist children and cantaloupe-calved youth who hate them because they're white and resisting their sharia takeover

if you're looking for "no-go" zones that actually exist, you're looking for stuff like white supremacist policed and governed towns with stuff like sundown laws, but oddly enough this never seems to come up

also the right is obsessively hunting down imagined pedophile sex trafficking rings, and in Tucson right now somebody is roving around breaking into homes to prove this is the case while in the same city there's an immigrant children internment camp with numerous not followed up on reports of rape and molestation and staff that are likely selling "access" to the girls.

That this ranks as about 1/100th as important as not enough people liking their tweets is about all anybody with a clear head should need to hear to realize that there's no reasoning with these animals and they need to be stripped of all power and influence, at all levels, by any means necessary

I just don't really understand why there's people clamoring for these videos of fruit markets and children riding tricycles when the whole premise is that they're supposed to be accosted by dark-skinned natives. All these streamers are too bitchmade to actually start a fight with criminals, are all their viewers too stupid to notice?

I like watching this guy's channel, he's some guy from Detroit that just drives quietly around poor neighbourhoods and sometimes does interviews. Pretty sure his audience is 50% chuds and poverty tourists but the guys pulling the views in so wtv
