SFDebris doesn't usually review comics, but he did a pretty great series on the Rise and Fall of the Comics Empire:

I don't know if it's his normal thing but he also did a nice series on Secret War and maybe Civil War? The last one I may have made up.

Since he steals so much from so many different people, the voice is never consistent, and you can easily overlook one crazy thing cause you agree with something else. Maybe it feels like a joke to you. Maybe you just don't watch that video.

But also what the absolute gently caress, right? How was that not the point where his channel became a big joke forever? All his WWII takes are so absurd that I don't know how he kept his audience on his side after it. Telling kids that the thing that their great grandpa really took from the war was Ripped Nazi Abs is so insane everyone should've just tossed him out after it.

I swear that Somerton was Twitter Main Character at least once or twice for his stupid hot nazis takes, although after the hbomb/todd wombo combo good luck trying to find it again

theyre morons but so much of modern Queer Discourse is basically a psy-op to get kids to think theyre literally a first gay people to ever exist in any meaningful way in order to sell them disney movies under the guise of 'representation' that i cant blame like, 16 year olds, for falling for it

The WWII stuff is hilarious but the kinda unsettling part is how relatively recent a lot of the bad history is. Like anyone who was alive during the Bush administration would realize how insane it is to claim that gay marriage was a frivolous issue that only rich liberals cared about (because Real Queers only care about nonmonogamous kinky sex).

And I think the forums would explode if you posted that Breaking Bad was the first prestige TV series.

Well, I was one of the yokels who watched Somerton's content, but I never did see the sexy Nazi stuff. He had like fifty videos that were all long as heck; I didn't care about WWII, I just cared about TV shows and movies. :sweatdrop: And all the drama on his Discord or Twitter? Hell if I ever knew about it.

As for the rest of the bad opinions and outright misinformation...I can't speak for the other rubes, but you gotta remember that people saying weird poo poo on Youtube is actually the norm instead of the exception, and then double that amount when it comes to The Discourse, and then triple that amount when it comes to LGBTQ+ discourse specifically. Like, a lot of the other queer content creators that Hbomb also recommends? Believe it or not, some of them also say some dumb poo poo from time to time, it's just that the dumb poo poo is nominally negligible compared to their good insightful takes. It was annoying when Somerton brushed off gay marriage and acted nasty about Love Simon or whatever, but it didn't make him seem like a plagiarist or even an idiot; it just made him seem like another one of those hundreds of baby socialists on the internet who got their rocks off by pointing at a mainstream thing and going "But what if it was secretly bad??"

...Well, okay, like an idiot then, I suppose.

It makes more sense when you realize that women are constantly being mass reported for basically any reason they possibly can until something sticks, while dudes get reported a lot less for the same violations. A dude sitting there naked gets met with people just saying "lmao" and cheering on the balls out stream, while a woman wearing a comfortable but revealing top gets slammed for being a e-girl titty streamer perverting the sanctity of children on twitch.

Cartoonist Kayfabe is one of the best when it comes to western comics.

They’re great and have never said a chud thing, but I notice they’re extremely delicate whenever they talk about post-2000 Frank Miller (or earlier, when he’s fascism-friendly in DKR), probably because they think there’s a chance he might do an interview with them. They also stayed away from mentioning Christ Claremont’s fetish things, and he’s been on the show a bunch of times, so I don’t blame them.

in order to protect everyone from any kind of sexual content or parasocial grooming, all streamers should have to use voice scramblers and sit in a dark chair like when they're interviewing a witness on Dateline or some poo poo

they have to stream like Ray Smuckles and the founder of Williams-Sonoma holding a winner-takes-all Sapphic Erotica improvisation competition: voice scramblers and big bulky elephant costumes that makes you physically unrecognizable

i used to watch a lot of cartoonist kayfabe but its still hard to see Ed Piskor and not think about the time he thought former BSS mod David Brothers was going to beat him up in real life for using the n-word in his Hip Hop Family Tree comic
