lolicon discussion appears out of the blue, apparently the artist is a pedo

i thought that name was familiar, a long time ago on the darkest dungeon thread a post elaborated on some character drama that involved this guy and with the same accusations these redditors have brought up

and having a glance (it contains a lot of porn so beware for whomever wants to see it) at his twitter tells me that as rare as it is, the redditors might have an actual argument on that front

e: okay, i gave a second check on the media tab, nsfw/nsfl content ahead advise to thread with major caution, seen some futa on top of the loli as a start, and there might be some amputee in this mix if not worse

If Zesty was told that all he had to do to return TF2 to its glory days was to make one video without including big cartoon boobs, his next video would be called "Fempyro or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Seasonal Updates". It looks ridiculous to include your "she-devil" in an otherwise compelling video or depict Valve as a corporate officewoman with huge knockers, and yet he won't stop, and has now committed to commissioning a lolicon to get the work done. I guess this is it, then. Welcome to another 2 years of everybody screeching about Zesty being a lolicon whenever Quickplay is brought up, and I wouldn't even be able to disagree.

It’s fucking over. We’re never getting Quickplay back because we’ve got Israel’s strongest soldier running interference. There is no way a sincere person commissioned that, looked at it, and given the context of the situation/the age of their audience decided it was the right thing to make that the thumbnail of any video.

 

[Shoresy]

"repeated use of the n word"

Wasn't it just one use, on twitter, and it was "nigga", not "nigger"? Pretty sure that's what Zesty said in a stream before. If you're going to criticize the guy, at least be correct in the criticisms. This is the one thing I hate about these fucking tf2 trannies. They lie and twist the truth to a fit their narrative and nobody thinks to question it. But if someone does question it, they are now a no good heccin trannyphobe chud.

i think what happened is something i'd like to call the trump mindset, where the logic was probably akin to

• an artist that (i think) made fanart for me (don't ask me which or how many, i am not looking at his media page again)
• then is also an artist i interact(?) with, also plays BA (basing it off the seia porn he's made) and was accused of the same things by equally santimonious faggots
• i can ask him to make thumbnails for me since we're in the same frequency

there's probably more bits that i'm missing, but i'm making the easier bet that he doesn't consume this artist's content in any way whatsoever, especially since i've got the guess that he intentionally ignores how much of a PR nightmare this retarded faggot is when he makes tweets like this (bit nsfw, contains bunny suit)

or this


and there's also many other as egregious retweets that wind up making this rather uncomfortable situation, this is a snafu at best and the worst part is that the things the video mentions are right

 

[Wandering Ghost]

This is why presentation matters, especially to the low IQ normgroids that roam every corner of the internet these days. Zesty is correct on pretty much everything when it comes to the state of the game and yet no one listens to him because they either think he is a meanie bigot off of his attitude alone or because he goes out of his way to plaster his fetish into an otherwise well-presented serious video for no reason.

 

[soy woah jaque]

he goes out of his way to plaster his fetish into an otherwise well-presented serious video for no reason.

What's funny is that the average r/tf2 redditor would have zero problem with the thumbnail or the fact it was made by a lolicon if it wasn't on the other Orange Hitler's channel.

>Durr what if I put softcore pornography in the thumbnail of a video that’s supposed to win people over

I think it's pretty obvious to me that Zesty has gotten to a point of using bait tactics in an effort to get as many people on the #BringBackQuickplay and Valve hate train over TF2, as evidenced by the Why Payload is King video actually being a Casual dissection video in disguise and the goonerbait thumbnail on this latest video dispelling the "Valve could shutdown TF2 if you complain" goycattle nonsense. There's not much left to muster for this terminally retarded community so he's pulling out all stops in his last stand.

The R*dditors do have a point about the thumbnail being made by a lolinigger though and hopefully Zesty just wasn't aware, only knowing xim via what @piombo described.

 

[Shell Shocked Zoomer]

I think it's pretty obvious to me that Zesty has gotten to a point of using bait tactics...

I agree in thinking it was his intention was to have corpo woman with big tits on the thumbnail for the sake of clicks/trolling (unlike the Payload video's thumbnail which was meant to allow the video to blend in among other TF2 videos in the recommendation feed (slipping the pill into the cheese as Zesty commonly says)), but commissioning a loli artist/enjoyer to do the thumbnail, even if unintentional, was a fuckup since it gives Zesty's detractors a legitimate round of ammunition to use against him in their efforts to poison the well of Casual/Quickplay discourse. It is such a shame as the video itself was good.

 

[Slumbie]

This thumbnail thing is some of the most microscopic bullshit. Three days will pass and people will forget and/or stop caring. Caring what Redditors say is already a bad enough sign, get a grip.

Oh look the maladjusted are here to give a definitive ruling on the situation. Have you any conception of optics? Maybe consider that the video is supposed to do more than just preach to the choir, and that people are already using his involvement to poison the well. After all this time you'd think he'd learn not to just hand his enemies all the ammunition they could ever need.

if it stops at that pic then it will be that, redditors chimping out news at 11

but if it doesn't and it goes outside of reddit, then i'll wonder if any of his spergy detractors see who this lolifaggot is and what he's made, all it takes to start a new storm is to simply ask if he was even aware of whom this guy was

 

[Slumbie]

You know what you say to any backlash about the thumbnail? "Well I had no idea what else that artist drew." That's it, and then it's over. Then you stop bringing attention to it and stop engaging with it. That's all Zesty needs to do, and that's if there's any backlash at all. You're acting like this will completely dismantle every point he's made and all of his videos will be for naught. It won't, you're being dramatic. People who are obessed with Zesty will maybe harp on this? Everyone else will move on.

 

[GNU Abyss]

Personally, I don't like people shoving their fetishes and coomerisms into videos and I'm very bipartisan about it. Zesty's complete inability to keep his Mad Milk from spilling out of his pockets (not just on this occasion, everything to do with his "OC" fits) is on the same level as cropped hentai thumbnails or some molestoid flashing his PNG fursona in the middle of an otherwise unrelated and informative video. As for the thumbnail bait for views theory, we'll see what the difference is compared to his other videos in two weeks' time. I highly doubt it's going to be much.

 

[A Bit Concerning]

Durr what if I put softcore pornography in the thumbnail of a video that’s supposed to win people over

Unironically if you can’t keep your fetishes out of your videos, you’re retarded, and you are probably deranged to the point where I wouldn’t allow you to be around women or children. It indicates that you can’t control yourself for long enough to not insert your fetish into everything you do, constantly.

Also if he’s commissioning a loli artist he’s a fucking retard. Even if he didn’t know that, he could have avoided this by just taking the time to click the media tab before sending the commission.

I see where you're coming from, but Zesty Jesus is not Hasan Piker. It's not that this has single-handedly ruined any hope that Quickplay would ever return, but rather that Zesty has a dedicated hate-base of obsessed trannies who are still passing around a single instance of him saying "nigga" and trying to get people to hate him preemptively. What do you think is going to happen when they're given something that actually is objectionable, where the lolicon artist in question says right there, on a public post, that they are a lolicon? I'll eat crow if it all blows over into nothing, but I see no reason not to think this won't be held over Zesty's head by his detractors forever. He will never be allowed to say anything because his haters can, justifiably, point to the time he recently commissioned an artist who is a lolicon (and it was to depict Valve as a woman with big tits). I'm sure they've been chomping at the bit for something new now that people mostly don't seem to care about the old Discord in-jokes, and they've hit the jackpot.

If it was some old ass tweets and it's not readily apparent then maybe, but it's likely he did know. Is this mental retardation or is he purposefully creating drama to fuel a victim fetish? It's not even the first time he puts loli-adjacent shit in his videos.

which is why i write a snafu at best, it's impossible to feign ignorance when the most egregious shit is in plain sight and very loudly announced to the world, it most likely will boil down to something akin to this if it ever gets inquired on


i pray that it gets put under the rug and never spoken of again, it takes serious skill to do a fuck-up of this level
