I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

Wait what tell me more about that last paragraph

TL;DR:

The Bradberry's were part of the "prank channel" wave of content on youtube and did some really over the top stunts on people (who later claimed, or were claimed to have been in on it) such as pretending to kidnap people when they met up to buy stuff off Craigslist, pretending to kidnap people and then pretend to murder their friends in front of them, and pretending to burn a house down with kids inside.

In the end they became a laughing stock due to their really overly aggressive openings and acting, as well as for their really loving insane "pranks".

They ended up dropping out of youtube for awhile, I think even deleting (or just making private) their channels.

Or at least people thought they did.

Turns out the guys switched gears and had been making little kid youtube loop bait videos. These are those really low quality, copy paste videos you see if you search for anything Disney or kids media related. They abuse the youtube algorithm by uploading daily 15+min videos (all copy paste blender or flash pro videos) with nusery rhymes and stuff. Examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLYUVlUh0c

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzCL4fkGvsI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF_X1k5N0DU

But then there's the Bradberry's version where they have them and their "friends"/family acting out nonsense pantomimes in WalMart grade costumes featuring Mavel, DC, and Disney Characters. Similar to the above, they probably spend 1 day making a month's worth of content, loop it back on itself in a playlist and rake in the ad money thanks to children being given an iPad to leave mom and dad alone for a few hours.

The "so what?" part is that these videos skirt the line really carefully wrt to being, well, porn.

They're also just pretty hosed up. But, thanks to H3H3, which has sadly gone kinda nutso with the "ADpocalypse" on youtube, we got proof that Ethan and Moe Bradberry are behind those, or at least just the Toy Family videos.

There's your daily dose of really weird, rabbit hole, youtube drama.

Plus, her hair and crown thing is dumb-looking.

Apparently her name in the Japanese version is Hime (pronounced "hee-may") which means queen or princess and this refers to a kind of squid called the princess pigmy squid that's native over there. And being a pigmy it's got short stubby arms and a big head proportionally, hence a big forehead.

But I've only seen that in the twitter stream for the game so who knows.

Tell me the backstory of that thing in the last pic, I wanna know why it looks like that

It's a genetic smoothie of 4 different people with different "quirks", which is what the series calls super powers or mutations, that were perfectly suited to take on All Might. Super spoiler after this>>

All Might's nemesis is "All for One", who can steal quirks from people and give them to others. So in order to target particular heros (Well, they say that, but he just wanted to go after All Might) he created the Nomu. He kidnapped a low level criminal with a shock absorption quirk and "mixed" him with super regeneration, and some power boosting quirks, then turned him into...that. Also it's not a Bane sorta thing where he's still intelligent. It's a sack of meat that exists for 1 purpose and has no mind otherwise.

Yeah, I think I know the story. About a week or two ago, an artist by the name of ohnips drew genderbent versions of all the daddies, which somehow caused a massive shitstorm on both Tumblr and Twitter. According to the accusers, this particular picture was transphobic, as it depicted genderbent Damien (the gothy transman) as a woman, and fatphobic for depicting genderbent Brian (the fat ginger who kinda resembles Pat from SBFP) without a beer gut. It apparently got so bad that the devs of Dream Daddy had to get on Twitter and demand that people stop harassing this artist.

The offensive image in question:

(from left to right: Robin, Dahlia, Carly w/ Rover, Josephine, Maddy, Helena, Brianna)

I wouldn't be surprised if the dude just hadn't either played the game itself yet, or hadn't played that particular character's route yet, and thus didn't even know they were trans.

I mean, I was totally ignorant of that character in total and I've seen plenty about it. Seems easy to miss.

Someone explain the sheet ghost thing. Unless it's from some gross anime.

I asked this like a week or so ago. It's supposed to be some Egyptian god that literally looks like that which got meme-ified in Japan. Then some game had a summer event and one of the characters dressed up like that because she's shy about her swimsuit or something and that too got meme'd.

He's activated his stand, [UHF]. It allows him to remove the memory of an embarrassing event from anyone in the range of his audio attack.

Nah, [UHF] should have the power to take on the form and powers of another stand or person but over time the copy starts behaving weirder and weirder until the form is unrecognizable when it reverts.

Then it can evolve a new power where if the copy can defeat the original it becomes the defacto version and the original becomes warped or destroyed. (Amish Paradise, Eat it, The Saga Begins, etc).

Because you were 7 when Pokemon came out and you never stopped playing them?

This and Pokemon are in the same social strata as something like Snoopy/Peanuts, Garfield, or the Simpsons.

They've been around for so long and so many people have experienced them that they have this cultural momentum that carries them through a ton of otherwise non-related subjects.

Look at things like "Bart-Kira", Lasagna Cat, and that weird Charlie Brown Comic done in the style of Sin City.

TenCentFang posted:

I don't think these are good comparisons for different reasons. Bart-Kira isn't really about making The Simpsons "dark", Lasagna Cat is sort of like that superficially but has it's own thing going regardless, and Weapon Brown is just straight up parody.

Better example would be Power/Rangers, which is just dumb as poo poo.

Oh, I was just talking in regards to the "Why are adults making art of a kids show" point, not the "edgy evil dark" thing the artist was going for.

Though now that I think for a second I did inadvertently choose 3 dark/gritty fan projects for my examples...

I'm just saying that as a cultural touchstone Pokemon, just like Peanuts or The Simpsons, ends up getting re-imagined and mixed with subjects and mediums that it would otherwise have no connection too.
