    I would probably be banned if I said what I think should happen to every tiring prick who makes videos like this.

    I actively had to “Do not recommend this channel” on I think six different recommendations when watching a review for new Hellboy game. I’m a big ol’ comic fan and I’m very saddened that there is more “Anti-Woke™©” comic content out there than content that just talks about comics. There are some decent folks out there putting out critical thoughts (most of it really damn good) about comics/comic games but is just so stupid this sort of stuff always bubbles up to the top.

    It’s really frustrating to to know you can get 235K eyeballs on some half-assed low-brow poorly edited video. I’m sure the whole heart of his supposed argument is just “Miles is black and women exist”. It’s really tiring how much mileage they can get from such a low bar of thought. I know the algorithm feeds off outrage, outrage in response to outrage, and of course drama orbiting outrage, it’s just kinda sad to me. It’s a very game-able system and just makes discussions around comics, anime, and games worse.

    Also this dude is called Synthetic man, with a Agent K head photo-shopped onto a V body. I’m sure the irony of his profile picture is utterly lost on him. I hate dweeb so goddamn much man. They ruin liking things way more than the people whom they claim are ruining the things they like.

    I love dork-shit, but these fucking losers are just the worse. I need to get a permit carry a locker around and be authorized to push them into it, give them nuggies, and wedgies.

      The thing I love (despise) about Youtube the most is how you can watch one video talking about a random game, and suddenly your Recommended is flooded with ridiculous clickbait outrage shit like this.

      Relatedly I had watched the Thought Slime video on cops recently, and Youtube tried feeding me 500 variations on “ENTITLED LIBERAL KAREN GETS ARRESTED AND OWNED BY VALIANT POLICE MAN???” type shit. Why is it like this?

        Fuckin exactly! The clickbait stuff just bubbles up from the ooze of losers. I hate that this stuff spreads so far so quickly so easily. You’d think that clickbait would have been dealt with in the late 2000s along side pop-ups and click hi-jacking, but no. Outrage sells so the eldritch horror that is the algorithm recommends it indefinitely. It’s so stupid it literally fosters the environment of harassment and potential violence YouTube claims to be against

          I guess because harassment and violence translates to more drama and outrage for those profitable clicks! Grim as fuck.

    Every criticism about wokeness in games is literally “How am I supposed to jack off to this?” and a bunch of dudes responding like “Yeah, how am I supposed to jack off to this?”

      How were these guys jacking off to videogames twenty years ago when the graphics looked way less realistic?

        For real. These mfers have no idea what it was like to have to watch a blurry cable TV channel showing softcore porn waiting for the picture to clear up enough that you could see a tiddy. I swear they’re going to turn me into a RETVRN guy.

    would have thought the ‘anti-woke’ grifting would become passe by now, some of those youtube comments are something else

      to be fair if this was like a couple years ago or even last year I bet it would have gotten double the views, and if we lived in peak gamergate this would have gotten at least 1 mill

    Clicked on this dude’s Starfield video some time back not knowing anything about him and peace’d out like 2 minutes. One of the first things he complained about was how the devs had an agenda and that a random gay man was immortal to stop people like him from killing him immediately. The NPC simply mentioned he had a husband.
