You can't be embarrassed if you're part of a community that buy that sort of thing.

Everyone should have an inappropriate titty mini or two, whether it's a busty illithid, a snake with breasts for no goddamn reason, or just a boob with bat wings. If someone gives you poo poo for playing, like, nothing but dragonborn characters you pull out The Worst Mini and teach them to be careful what they wish for.

My favorite was when his Patreon supporters basically bought him a Warlord titan and he was all "and now I'm going to paint it as quickly as possible!" I mean, it looked fine, but a $2200 miniature is not something you really want to speed paint.

I don't think it looks terrible. I bet from tabletop distance it looks fine and probably better than just the flat yellow.

I also don't agree that his tips/techniques are that bad. He does stray into some questionable design decisions, he's a clumsy painter for sure, and definitely not the strongest technique-wise or end result-wise, especially in comparison to the other creators in his sphere.

edit: oh I didn't see the video, just the yellow terminators. Yeah, that's very bad. I understand the idea he's going for, but woof.

Every time they try to do something with mixed media it ends up looking quite bad.

I wouldn't scoff at any of those nids if they were just, like, some random guy's minis. Some of them are even kinda regular-guy-mini cool--I kinda like the pink decorator crab look. But that's different from "let me teach you my ways" good.

I don't think Midwinter is concerned with tutorials anymore, usually when a Hobby YouTuber gets long in the tooth they start to deviate.

Like how Squidmar used to teach stuff when he first started and what he does now I don't even know. Ad skits?

I haven't watched MWM in a long time, stopped having the time, but this is really disappointing to see. He seemed like one of those wholesome dudes that would be cool, but man you really can't rely on content creators to not be awful it turns out. I'm scared to know if some of the others that got me started on painting, are still cool dudes? Namely Goobertown Hobbies, and Miniac?

Dude has to be aware and leaning hard into the "he's got serial killer eyes and I bet he's got people chained up in his basement"

Then it came out he was a professional chemist and yeah, he's just being a weirdo.

He strikes me as weird, but harmless and not at all problematic. When the 2020 BLM protests happened, he was a content creator with the spine to speak up and put out a video in support of the protests, and to express utter disgust at what was happening. Same for supporting Games Workshop when they told fascists and white supremacists to get hosed.

You have to be weird to WANT to make it as a youtuber. Think of all the horrible poo poo the poo poo that happens here because there are enough goons for there to be a constant stream of one in several thousand level weirdos. Now imagine there's nothing between you and the youtube comment equivalent of driftingmouse or wormsbutthole but google's moderation.

I've considered doing the tube thing for art subjects a few times.

Then I remember the comment section and how integral it is to success these days. Sucks.

It just goes to show that you don't actually have to be good at a specific hobby to get a large fanbase, you just have to be good at narrating and editing.
