yep. i never understood that series a single bit.

E: it's not about the GBA games in general at all by the way, it's "just" an extremely long analysis/nitpick on why fire emblem 7 has a bad story actually.

That's his main thing, along with ironman runs of the games, and "play fire emblem better"-type videos. The Mr. Plinkett style review of FE7 was definitely cringe, as are all Mr. Plinkett related things.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Fixed that for you. It doesn't matter what community it is, when people are at the top they will gain power, and those with power will likely abuse it. Usually, because the people at the top are either extremely popular or have done important things. I can say that at least with FEU, Mangs was never someone who's content was liked I mean we have Ghast as our original youtuber boy anyway

Mangs is such a piece of poo poo that even if he hadn't been a general sex pest and committed sexual assault (and he clearly did), he'd still be a piece of poo poo. Dude has promoted full-on fascist poo poo on his Discord before, like linking Black Pigeon Speaks videos about why women have destroyed western society a few years back. He's utter garbage.

I've always felt really conflicted about Mekkah as a result. I like Mekkah's videos, at least the ones he does without Mangs, but I sorta have to side-eye him because he willingly associated with Mangs in the first place. Mangs isn't a case of "wow he seemed so normal from the outside"--he's openly been a fascist, misogynist creep the whole goddamn time.

I want to believe the best of Mekkah because I like his videos (except his pseudo-Plinkett thing, whatever the gently caress that was) but like... what does it say about a person if they considered someone like Mangs a friend?

well, mangs is a weirdo about women, mekkah is a weirdo about women. the only real diff is mangs wants to bone down while mekkah has never met a female character he thinks should exist.

Harrow

He likes Bernadetta now

But yeah, you're right, he has a real weird habit of hating on female characters really disproportionately, even when he's not with Mangs.

Are there any Fire Emblem YouTubers who don't suck? Like Ghast, Lucky Crit, and MaxHP jumped in to support Goosaphone right away which seems good on them but I have no idea if their videos show they're actually lovely too

Not a lot. A lot of people look up to and are friends with people who turn out to be scumbags. People who Mangs have abused could have considered him a friend, or been part of his videos.

This is not aimed at Mekkah or anyone in particular, I don't know most of them.

Zerk, Pavise and Chaz seem to have also jumped in defense of Goose, with Goose actively saying how she stayed in a hotel room with Chaz (and Ghast, I think?) for a con because it was preferable than to deal with Mangs in any way shape or form.

I did video playthroughs of some of the FE games when I streamed. 8, 9 and 10. I was midway through 11 when uh... my father passed. It's been hard to work up the energy to return to streaming after that.

I still got the archives up of most of it on my youtube channel. You know, if you want to watch an FE9 run where Ike gains now strength and I spend 9 hours "Perfecting" the desert map because I am a fuckin' weirdo who needed to "Get all the BEXP while also getting all the treasure, and not killing more than the allotted laguz."

Which would be fine... in a world where my Ike had gotten strength, or my Marcia, or my Jill...

This was a world where Level 20 Lord Ike had 12 strength and thus could not be relied upon to do poo poo.

Seems like Mangs is deleting twitter and basically ending his youtube channel after basically denying the first allegations. Good riddance, I had watched some of his videos as a beginner but never watched enough of his content to sniff out him being a totally pervert incel loser.

This is the most professional way to stream imo. I played through Genealogy like this for the first time, and having a friend network that would help me with it without outright spoiling how to win was ideal. I'm looking forward to playing Thracia in a similar way.

He did go on a bit of an anti-Lyn crusade but he maintained that he liked her as a character, he was just arguing against the idea that she's a good unit.

That said I made a point of never watching anything he did with Mangs because Mangs annoyed the poo poo out of me so maybe some worse poo poo came out of those.

Lyn is fine because Mani Katti is absolutely busted. If you play without Lyn mode even Mani Katti isn't enough to save her but if she's joining at level 10 she'll be good for as long as Mani Katti lasts, and then will kinda suck after that

well since we're talking about it, might as well mention the conclusion to the mangs episode which is that to my surprise he made an actual "sorry i am a piece of poo poo, i'm leaving" post and is gonna get off social media, out of the community, and not make any more videos. did choose to not delete his channel though.

I was honestly kinda expecting him to do a non-apology and one of those turns into fully pandering to the worst parts of humanity with his channel.

Except in this case it's far more complex as people are saying this is not the first time Indie has tried this and everyone, including the person they're claiming is the victim has disavowed them and said they were manipulative.

Issat right, I got that part of the story mistaken then. That's my bad. That said, it is still something that is far more of a complex situation than Mangs straightforward one, enough to know I ain't touching an inch of it till it's resolved.

Also, truth_fe is a puppet account run by the accused (or someone close to the accused, since the account constantly posts things only the accused has access to) in this case. And this guy saying she's lying basically went to the accused who said "she's lying" and he took him at his word. I don't really see what he's posted that confirms she was lying other than just calling her a liar. The fact he dipped out but his puppet account (dedicated to believing the victims) and associated allies circled the wagons immediately is pretty sus.

Is it a puppet account? I'd heard that claim coming from /feg/ but nowhere else. But if you say so, I'll believe it.

It's purely circumstantial but what people are saying is:
- The account posts things that only Chaz could have access to.
- Chaz had been beefing with Mangs for a while but getting heat for it, hence creating an anonymous account.
- The second Chaz gets accussed the account goes to work in his defense almost immediately, like it was expecting it.
