the liloposter in question was also just one of those alt-lite reactionary toadies and had been for a long time, it wasn't an isolated incident

i’m pretty sure the discourse person was a different person, they just happened around the same time. discourse person was the one who said that height differences in relationships was pedophilia (probably because they were paid to).

Forget about the people with the bad opinions about Lilo, let's talk about how Rise of the TMNT was hosed over by Nickelodeon, got axed halfway through production of Season 2, and still managed to glue together a coherent finale.

I don't really know how to ask this without it coming off as me trying to start poo poo so I'm just going to ask this question and please keep in mind that this isn't me trying to set up some kind of "gotcha" or trolling or anything like that, I'm just looking for honest opinions and answers here. What do people see in h bomb, why do they like his content, what is it about his content and output that got him in contact with major progressive political leaders?

He's funny and explains political concepts in plain language. Same reason that historians you've ever heard of are whose with an entertaining voice in their writing and who make it accessible, and not those who breaking new research ground. Specifically thinking of Dan Carlin with Hardcore History and Mike Duncan with History of Rome. Neither of whom are really academics just guys making podcasts of primary and secondary sources we've had for centuries. Or if you want specifically leftist comparisons. He's got the same appeal as the Chapos but less immediately abrasive.

He's occassionally screamingly funny and the reason he got this close to American government representatives is just by being fairly good at networking and making friends with people who just happen to know AOC.

I would love to hear about this, actually. Rise was a show that I just glossed over (don't watch TV, not a huge TMNT fan), but seeing how great some of the animation is makes me want to give it a watch one of these days

A great example of his work is his video on speedrunning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5auJOBC828 The stream he mentions at the end of that video is what actually put him in contact with AOC. He decided to dedicate his stream to Mermaids, a British charity that helps children with gender dysphoria, after noted transphobic fuckwit Graham Lineham lobbied to get its National Lottery funding suspended. It went on for several days, and became a big thing, raising I want to say half of what the lottery funding would have been and also provided a platform for trans people to share their experiences over the course of the stream. I think the National Lottery actually turned around and actually gave Mermaids the money they had suspended, too. That's were AOC came on to discuss the N64, Trans Rights, and Hbomb asked her how to beat Beaver Bother.

Yvonmukluk posted:I feel that Mike Duncan legitimately counts as an academic at this point, considering he's a published historian with a degree and everything. I think he quoted from his dissertation on one of his Revolutions episodes on the Mexican Revolution, for instance. It's just his medium and delivery is much better suited to laypeople.

I appreciate the answers, thank you. I was curious because I have personal grievances with him so anytime I see anything about how he's doing, to me he's that guy I don't like rather than that internet reviewer person so I wanted to know what people were actually enjoying about the content he produces.

I remember him first being a bad poster in this very thread, and when he started making videos it was weird. Though I'm willing to believe someone can be a bad poster and good at other things. After all with posts as bad at mine, I have to.

I've never found him even remotely funny and I disagree with his media criticisms more often than not, but his charity work is cool. Also thanks to whoever it was who linked Jarvis Johnson in this thread. I've been binging through his reactions to those awful animated story videos and other content-farm garbage and it's a wild ride. And something else I've been binging through lately are Pointless Peasant's DS3 invasion videos. I don't normally watch a lot of LPs or gaming streams but the computer voice he uses to narrate makes just about anything it says sound amusing.

In late 2018 Brian Robbins took over as the Nickelodeon CEO, and (assuming the ROTTMNT writers aren't lying) he went on to kill the show. Moves it to Nicktoons, airs it late at night when the kids are sleeping, cancels the toyline, doesn't advertise it, complains about low ratings after it gets moved to Nicktoons, cancels it halfway through s2 after promising a full season, and then doesn't even advertise the finale as a finale.   I'm told Glitch Techs met a similar fate but I don't know anything about that show.

Anyone know much about EmpLemon? He has many videos taking deep dives into various topics which are very interesting, but he also has a kind of air about him where it wouldn't surprise me if he's a chud, or at the very least kind of an rear end in a top hat

I haven't even given the time of day to Mr Enter in years but him being chud wouldn't be all that surprising to me, a lot of his content came across as reactionary as gently caress and it only seemed to get worse over time.

Most non-CHUD's don't exactly like slapping ol' Donny's face around on stuff, even for a joke.  His banner being hosed up as a whole is a completely different can of works though, yes.

The big "this guy is probably a chud" red flags are all of his many videos screaming about YouTube itself and "censorship". Generally anyone on YouTube who is outsizedly obsessed with being censored or silenced by YouTube and has made multiple videos screaming about how silenced they are have a tendency to say and do a bunch of poo poo that most Normal People frown on and don't want to listen to, and they interpret that as censorship, despite getting six digits in views from Extremely Online people who are totally down to listen to how censored and silenced dudes like the guy in question are.
