A-log refers to someone who rages so hard against a lolcow that they become a lolcow themselves.
Okay. Thanks for explaining that. The problem with Oxhorn is that he has 1.2 million subscribers, so the bullshit he says has a lot of weight and influence. Injecting his biases and spreading misinformation to his large audience is what I object to. I understand the vast majority of his audience just like to jerk off to the sound of his voice and don't really care about what he is saying, but some of us would like the information to be factually correct and bias-free. Is that too much to ask?
Oxhorn did the same thing with his Sunset Sarsparilla video; shortly after the video was made he made a comment acknowledging and apologizing for the mistakes he'd made in the video.
There is no apology there. The words "I'm sorry" do not appear anywhere in that post. If they do, then please show me.
If I'm remembering correctly this comment was originally pinned and was posted not too long after the video was released.

You remember correctly that he pinned this post and explained about the tickmarks, etc. But do you see how it says the post was edited? The part acknowledging the BoS folder was due to his mod was not in that post originally. He edited that in AFTER I exposed him in my video. Also, he never apologized. Period. The words "I'm sorry" don't seem to factor into his vocabulary, because I can never think of even a single instance where he has said this for anything. This is a sociopath trait.
Furthermore, when he was exposed for showing bare tits in his Nuka World Ending video, he moved heaven and earth to have that edited out. I didn't know it was even possible to edit a video that is already published. It was something added with the creator studio, apparently. But the Obsidian slander remains. He moved heaven and earth to fix something that makes him look bad, but slandering Obsidian is okay by him and he's just going to leave it. Editing in a pinned thread that the vast majority of viewers of that video will never even read and with no apology isn't good enough. If he could edit out the tits, then he sure as hell could edit this out too.
Also, his anti-Obsidian bias reared its head more recently in a tweet where he slams Obsidian over TOW being Epic games exclusive (a decision made by the publisher, btw). However, FO76 is exclusive to Bethesda's proprietary thing and he did nothing but shower praise on it since his Greenbrier thing. He never once criticized 76 for not being on Steam, or anything else really.
I actually created a meme about this and tweeted it:
https://twitter.com/Logic_Phallusy/status/1110194088513626112
At the time I made and tweeted this everything was correct and accurate, however like the next day or so, Bethesda suddenly announced that 76 will be coming to Steam later this year. Its like they saw their favorite brown-nosing shill was in trouble, and rushed to his aid to make that announcement to invalidate that part of my meme image. But despite that part being invalid, the core point behind it remains true and valid. He never ever ever criticized 76 for not being on Steam, yet he passive aggressively slammed Obsidian over this same thing. This proves 100% beyond any doubt that he has an anti-Obsidian bias and always has. You guys ridiculed me saying I'm upset over "soda". No, its the slander of Obsidian by him that pisses me off. It isn't about soda per se. Its about that, the lies about the mister handys (he made an entire video spreading false information about them), and he said in a livestream that he hopes Obsidian never works on Fallout again, which they probably won't. He also hearts comments bashing TOW on his channel. I'm sorry, but his anti-Obsidian bias is real and legit.
Also, after I tweeted that image he went and followed Obsidian and a bunch of Obisidian related people on twitter to try to deceive people into thinking he's not biased against them. It was a token gesture that cost him nothing to do. For the longest time he followed only 14 people, but now he's following other people to try to save his ass and make himself seem like he isn't a Bethesda shill and nothing more than that, but its just an act and a deception. He's a con-artist and a swindler. The fact he sold beard growth pills and tonics should tell you all you need to know about him.
Yet you and other Oxhorn critics say he never apologized
He never did. Seriously, show me one time where the words "I'm sorry" were ever spoken or typed by him, and I mean unironically.
/took forever to apologize,
Yeah, we're still waiting.
and treat his mistake like it was some Machiavellian scheme to destroy Obsidian's reputation.
He's a paid Bethesda shill, so its his job to shit-talk the competition, while praising Bethesda's garbage. He's either paid to do this, or its necessary that he do this in order to Bethesda to continue to look the other way while he sells their plagiarized merchandise without suing his ass. Also, Obsidian views on homosexuality, women's rights, diversity, etc. do not line up with his own far-right views and beliefs, so this is probably also a factor in his anti-Obsidian bias.
You want people to take your retraction-via-comment seriously yet won't do the same for Oxhorn.
My "is it moral to criticize FO4" video was made BEFORE he edited in his acknowledgement that it was caused by his mod. In fact, I'm pretty sure my video has a lot to do with why he was compelled to edit that in. But he was butthurt about it, and had the video flagged as bullying, and ultimately had me terminated, all because he wouldn't fix his fuck-ups. Am I in any position to shut his channel down like he did to me? The circumstances are not comparable.
There's also a world of difference between accidentally flashing a nipple for half a second and spending hours/days writing, recording, and editing a video calling someone a sex offender.
The video where I called him out on the bare tits was short and made very quickly. I wanted to cover it quickly because I knew he would take it down.
What evidence do you have that the woman he was secretly filming was underage?
What evidence do you have that the "woman" he was secretly filming was NOT underage? She looks young, and it is very conceivable that she was just a teenager. It looks like a group of teens to me.
This is why no one takes your retraction of the sex offender video seriously. You don't even believe it yourself.
I believe he potentially is, yes. But my retraction was that this wasn't hard proof of it. This isn't contradictory.
That Oxhorn would rather hunt down any upload of that video and abuse YouTube's takedown systems rather than publicly own up to it is pathetic, yes.
When you uploaded it you didn't mention his name anywhere in the title, tags, or description, yet he still got it taken down in less than a week. That points to him obsessively keeping tabs on anyone who speaks out against him.
This is true. That is an excellent point that does prove he was keeping tabs on my channel. I also believe he (or someone close to him, possible his brother) has been using alt accounts to comment on my videos. See my most recent video on that.
This is the kind of stuff you should be using in arguments against him. Things you have cold, hard facts to back up. Not "he gives me the creeps so he must be sexually abusing/assaulting others."
I had to cover his all female raider prison video with women bound up. Does that mean he is sick in real life and fantasized about that? I dunno, but he went out of his way to make it happen in a video game, and that says something. Is it a cold hard fact of anything? No, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
I've attached the video in question to the bottom of this post, since posting in the middle fucks up formatting.
The sound doesn't seem to work when I tried to play it. But its good that you have it. You say I suck in my presentation and I agree, but if this video got in the hands of a more charismatic large youtuber then it could be devastating to Oxhorn.
I can't show you comments Sinon received on his video, because he took the video down. However, it was similar to the sort of comments I receive, and I'll show you some examples:

Also, there were these two guys named Kowloon and Omegatrion (or something like that) who spammed by videos with hundreds of comments saying things like "Oxhorn is right" and they posted links to storm front (a white supremacist site) and they said these links proved Oxhorn is right about his anti-gay views and such. I didn't click on those links, and youtube apparently removed them before I could take screenshots, which isn't surprising. But anyway, the point is these are the sorts of individuals who are in league with Oxhorn.
Also, on my homophobe video I pinned a comment by someone who told me to kill myself.
FT was a re'tard and YouTube did you all a favor by putting him down. Why you would let him tie his name and constant autistic shit-flinging to you, I will never understand. You guys think Oxhorn's fans saying stupid shit reflects poorly on him, yet when you willingly associate yourselves with a raging autist who screams "BUGTHESTARD JEWS" every five minutes people aren't supposed to think that reflects poorly on you?
You got a point. However, I don't throw allies under the bus like Oxhorn did with Erel Akman (the fan of his which preserved his controversial videos). But like I said, Fandom had left for about a month before he was terminated anyway. Maybe he himself did understand that his behavior was a problem. I honestly don't know.
Most people want to be filthy rich. Most people want to have plenty of cash so they can support themselves and their families without worry and pursue their passions to the fullest. Wanting money is not a character flaw. It only becomes a flaw when it drives a person to act immorally or unethically.
Wanting to impose some sort of alt-right dystopia would fall into that category, imho. He never clarified what sort of change he was referring to, but you can infer what he may have been thinking from his old articles and such. I'd say it is immoral and unethical to deny housing to gay people, but Oxhorn said that is okay in his Rainbow Rights article. I'm not okay with someone with the views Oxhorn has accumulating a vast fortune to use to push his agenda. And Greed and avarice is a character flaw. Oxhorn's own religion explicitly condemns it, but he goes against the word of god. How can you trust someone when they won't even adhere to the rules of their own faith?
Oxhorn narrates video games for a living and has to deep throat industry idiots like Todd Howard to make a buck. He's not going to bring about any great changes in society. He's a nobody in the real world and even on the Internet he is only known in niche circles. If having a lot of YouTube subscribers and a lot of cash was all it took to shape the world into one's vision, Eminem would have single handedly impeached Trump by now.
Maybe the youtube career is just a stepping stone towards something else? He wasn't always a Bethesda shill. He started off selling beard tonics and such. He also tried his hand at writing a children's novel called Chlorine Hastings. I don't think it panned out very well for him, but he tried it. To be honest, I don't care about him making money. There's millions of shills and scam artists in the world. He's just a problem for me because of his anti-Obsidian bias and the fact he decided to plant roots in the Fallout franchise which I happen to care about. I never knew him nor cared when he did his WOW stuff. I just wish he would pack his bags and move on to something else and leave Fallout alone.
See his now deleted manlyfesto article on porn/masturbation or watch the video. He calls people who view porn and masturbate "failures of evolution". He seems to be saying the only purpose for sex is procreation. And in his old runboard forum he had a thread about his rainbow rights article, and in one of the paragraphs it seemed like he didn't understand what love is, like a true sociopath. And in his "why I want to be filthy rich" article he says some people are destined to be poor and that's fine, because he doesn't give a shit. I have screenshots of them and they appear in videos, but I can't give you citations to the original sites because he deleted them all.
That's genuinely hilarious.
Yeah... it actually has its own page on the know your meme site.
The Mark Driscoll Controversy refers to the ongoing online backlash against the American evangelical Christian pastor and author Mark Driscoll after a series of sexist remarks and quotes he had posted online in 2001 resurfaced and became widely publicized in early September 2014.

I agree that Oxhorn needs to be the man he claims to be and acknowledge the less favorable things he's done in the past instead of trying to scrub everything clean. Part of being a man is owning your actions and words, and standing by them if you still believe in what you did/said or disavowing them if you don't. Sweeping everything under the rug and hoping nobody notices is what a child does.
That's exactly how I feel. He is a coward and very unmanly, which is ironic for someone who wrote a "manlyfesto". If you saw how scared he looked during his livestream when someone brought up shit-lord's video then it is obviously what a sniveling worm he is. He instructed his followers to ignore the "trolls" but he couldn't follow his own advice and instead flagged the video. But it will be back up on youtube eventually... probably embedded into a video, since youtube seems to leave that alone.

I don't think Tim cares.
FO2 was an edgy game. Sadly, it couldn't be made today with the current political climate. Also, Tim Cain's involvement in FO2 was minimal. It was largely Chris Avellone's project, so I assume he wrote that line. But you're right that Tim Cain probably didn't care, and you know why Tim Cain didn't care? Its because it was a joke. Remember those teens that were banned for life from FO76 for being homophobic? I assume they were joking.
The problem with Oxhorn is that he is not joking. This is what he really believes, and that is why it hurts people.
