Can't watch it now, but I will say that I think I prefer the DtRH videos which are less involved with internet stuff, like the episodes on Henry Darger or Rajneeshpuram.

It is shocking how little the latter gets talked about.

I don't know why but I find Wings endlessly fascinating.

its because he is basicaly weird blend of giant entitled prick rear end in a top hat and dumb rube victim. he also has the passive aggressive bragging attitude who talk poo poo that he never backs up. now he is trapped in a cycle where the abusers are the only ones who watch and give money.

Yeah, I'm with you. Wings seems like a dodgy liar, but there's enough genuine hardship and disability there that it's also tragic.

DSP, on the other hand, is purestrain gamerbro entitlement and mediocrity with no redeeming circumstances. The fact that he's got the online survival skills of a cockroach is his only real talent and it just makes him even worse somehow.

yeah. wings is a shithead but he is a pathetic and depressing. DSP is just a gross moron who somehow plays games worse than me.

Ughh why am I not surprised to see Keemstar show up in this.

I know almost nothing about him directly, but it seems that every time something online involves drama, toxic people and rampant bullshit, he'll just materialize into the narrative and feed from it like a loving misery vampire.

the dude is a troll shithead and gets off on it. its kinda sad when he comes off as the less bad person in that video. its also clear he is playing the passive aggressive concern troll type and wings keeps feeding off of it. i mean hell, they only kept wings around because he is an easy mark and enough of stupid rear end in a top hat that they can keep drama views rolling.

Wings, as far as these personalities go, is rather depressingly honest.

Also that Syndicate match replay was pretty cool.

yeah. he clearly has issues mentally and physically. like yeah he is a backstabbing rear end in a top hat but so are his friends. like i get his friends probably go sick of his poo poo and him being an rear end in a top hat but it feels kinda gross to see them openly poo poo on him but than again i have never had a friend as bad as wings.

I loved his last one on the hurdy gurdy because it was both a very niche topic and one he's obviously enthusiastic about being a musician who uses one

It suddenly occurs some of the more chud elements of social media are trying to be the alt-right Keemstar, which I would have recognized sooner if I paid any attention to Keemstar.

what i find funny is the video ends about how i predicted. he is in the same spot he always was though maybe somewhat better off and all the trolls are loving each other over to see who can milk the "lol cow" the best because they all want to be mister black/clyde cash.

Pretty amazing that 10 years ago he held a channel hostage via brute force flagging, but now he just does it all the time in the open by threatening to make videos about people. And instead of seeing how inherently hosed that is, he's a millionaire and youtube recommends his videos instead of getting its poo poo together.

that poo poo always happens with those communities. every group/person wants a cut or full credit and because of the nature of those types, they end up turning on each other really quick. it happend with chrischan, it happend with DSP, etc.

When you look at the topic of most of youtube media essays, suddenly coming up with the idea that you shouldn't criticize children's media after a certain age is certainly a hell of a take. And honestly, it comes across pretty disingenuous. Less of an actual criticism of the critic, which would be entirely valid, and more of and knee-jerk defense of a series you like without actually having to engage the points raised in the critic itself.

First seasons are rarely indicative of a show's entire run. Not that they're necessarily bad, mind you, just that they have to lay a lot of groundwork and not everything they throw at the idea wall will stick around to the next season.

OK, but we have a plague of 40 something white guys descending on series intended for children and critiquing it as if it was aimed at them.
