lmfao, nice, nice. I only just took a look at that fuckhead he's replying to the in the second one. Some of the very first tweets on his timeline are straight up pedophilic art and not much further down is retweets from typical chud pricks regurgitating typical chud bullshit. Good to see that booger1488 still believes that even surface level looks at people you reply to is for cowards.

Rapidly Going Deaf › Internet Personality + Review Thread 4.0: 0 Days Since The Last Boogie Bomb

I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and say I’m getting really loving tired of “Boogie1488 is sure a dipshit, eh folks?” tweet dumps and circle posting. We get it, Boogie is unhealthily obese and has terrible opinions about things. The sun will fly backwards across the sky before either of these things change. That ground is treaded and will no longer bear life, can we maybe focus on something else and refrain for giving this doof any more electrical impulses needed to even form a thought about him?

I’ve already had people PM me saying “please make the Boogie stop”, and I’M NOT EVEN THE MOD OF RGD ANYMORE. Maybe just let it go, please?

Either that or start actually talking about his video output content and pretend to follow the letter of this thread maybe.

Well that second tweet there p much sheds the last of his "but I'm a centrist" defense IMO.

Do feel free to discuss his latest bout, cause whoah boy. After that don't bring his asinine tweets, behaviour, KKK hood or whatever his next step is unless it's actual news or a (good) video.

The Alt-Right pipeline is horrible and real, but I (and I know others) feel like Boogie is not even like how to put it "good" about it? He's just a dude melting down over nothing constantly.
As with any rule, it's a democracy since I'm not a mod. If y'all really wanna keep talking about it do let me know

yea in an internet personality thread it's actually fairly important to talk about how a not-minor amount of popular youtubers are, either by ignorance or their own chuddy views, allowing themselves to be what amounts to a recruitment tool for the far-right. You got Pewds constantly doing his poo poo including recommending a video by a 'jewish question' guy where the literal description of the video he picked has a line about him whining that he can't call a character 'niglet', you got poo poo like H3H3 constantly doing 'ARE SJWs ACTUALLY THE BADDIES????' clickbait, and poo poo like Boogie taking the 'mmmm I actually think everyone who cares about things is bad and wrong' stance making it super easy for the nazis to claim him as supporting them.

Like, the fascists are way better at the internet than us, my dudes. They love bomb anyone who doesn't know how vile they are and their super boiled down topics like 'actually I LIKE free speech' are way easier to spread than liberal views on restricting harmful speech. The left has a major issue of being too academic about things while Chudzor88 just finds a youtuber who isn't plugged into this poo poo and goes 'hey FatGamerBro what do you think about the left violently shutting down speech they dislike just for having different opinions????' and when they go 'oh, yea, that sounds bad' they get swarmed by other nazis saying 'aw man you're great, we love you, you're so cool and rational and smart'.

You guys get we don't just talk about that fat shitheap because he's dumb, right? He's just kinda the best representation about an actual major tool that's kinda ensuring that a bunch of literal children are getting hit up by actual white nationalists.

I mean this literally happened real time with the Super Best Friends (RIP) when Paige went on an actual neo nazi conspiracy nut's podcast to talk about the completely made up scandal of "THE MEDIA FORCED A HOSPITAL TO REFUSE MONEY MEANT TO SAVE CHILDREN JUST BECAUSE IT CAME FROM A CONSERVATIVE YOUTUBER" and when called on it her response was to double down with 'look we all have opinions what am I supposed to do check the public comments this guy has made about the mass shooting at a synagogue being a false flag or something?' and the whole way getting love bombed by nazis telling her how great she was and how mean those SJWs were.

It's literally how actual major right wing grifter Candace Owens got her start, she's a black woman who was a lib that was making a list of gamergate people who supported harassment to report and Anita went 'yea man good luck on that these freaks are gonna harass you over this', then the proto-nazis started doing just that and basically telling her "ANITA SENT US, THOUGH" and wound up love bombing and trolling her so hard she's now going on Fox News as a loving Turning Point USA spokesperson.

There is an on-going conversation being held about the influence internet personalities have upon their audience, especially in terms of political leanings, people can find it boring as much as they want but it's intrinsically wrapped up in the dna of this thread and it's foolish to pretend otherwise what's the difference between this thread and a pyf thread?

I may have jumped the gun but I was in a lovely mood.

Anyway I think talking about lovely grifts and unwitting pawns and alt-right adjacent people is a good and fitting subject here for the most part. Knowing how entertaint can get corrupted so to say is a good thing to be aware off. But it shouldn't be main the focus of the thread, which boogster tended to become whenever brought up.

The thread just always grinds to a halt because boogie's takes are just so scattershot and don't even have any guided intent behind it, making it 90% pointless to give it the time of day. And that is coming from me sorta having schadenfreude at times about how wildly dumb he is.

I get where people like sexpig are coming from here, although in the case of Boogie I'm not sure if there's any more ground to cover - really we're just covering the rounds of the Boogie cycle at this point, we know exactly why he's like this and it's always going to be the same beats. poo poo takes on Twitter is what he will forever do because he's constantly in a pattern of causing a shitstorm followed by trying to get a left-wing pop (/poo poo tweets from the right) followed by self-pity. Is there anywhere else to go?

Plenty more out there to talk about.

A few years ago I would have agreed with this assessment, but it seems like we might be turning a corner on this. Nazis only became a big deal on youtube because of the algorithm and because they could just poo poo out any old garbage and have a built-in audience to boost it. But they’ve been in disarray since Charlottesville and their videos still look like lazy poo poo, and there are leftist youtubers now, whereas a few years ago there weren’t.

I’ll grant them twitter, but their pipeline is much weaker than it was two or three years ago. Look at Laci Green, who was probably their crown jewel. She goes nazi and then *poof*, nobody’s even talking about how she vanished. The algorithm is still getting that poo poo in front of kids wanting video game reviews, but there are more and more robust competing views out there that, frankly, are a lot more visually appealing and dynamic than a 30-year-old in his bare apartment shouting into a webcam about She-Ra.

I think to be fair to the topic the general opinion on Boogie has shifted over time from him being a clueless and ignorant buffoon to him being a dangerously conflict-averse collaborator addicted to chud lovebombing on top of that. It hasn't just been circles over and over.

Laci Green poofed because she was always kinda boring and uninteresting but at least before her turn had 'well she is a good sex education source though' going for her, now she has that same format and can't claim to be useful to anyone but other 'THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS LIBTARDS' types. Her last real moment of relevance is when she wrote her lovely book and got some plugs by other boring lovely sex people like that oh joy sex toy lady. She was never really a 'crown jewel' just a win for ~redpilling the feminists~.

Charolettesville wasn't as much of a death blow as people think, you see it all the time with groups like the aryans and the KKK. They hem and haw about how 'well of COURSE they never would support that violence' when it happens and maybe do lay low for a month or two but all the ~intellectual dark web~ and major youtube types are still doing their thing to all their fans like before. Their fans are happy to follow them down the rabbit hole, that's how it works. Jordan Peterson has near entirely dropped the mask and is full on christian fundamentalist and all his fans are still with him. His only real moment of shaking was when he hilariously dropped the grift to say 'oh, ok no Kavanaugh is probably a rapist'.
