"angry" gamers/critics

[Shokew]

Shave your head and get a real job, Buck. Please - this critic shit clearly ain't good for his health.
Whether mental nor physical... Especially physical, with how he's still in his 20's, losing his hair that fast from the constant stress, anger, hate, and sadness he brings upon himself.

In the end, it's just people, pretending to be other people acting on a big screen to entertain the masses for paying their own bills. At least, that's how I've come to see it - there are worse things to have negative emotions at.

While we're on the subject of PhantomStrider, I remember that I watched "Top 10 Worst Cartoon Network Shows" and almost immediately knew he was one of those critics. (I'm not entirely sure why I gave him the benefit of the doubt in the first place, frankly.)

Spoiler: A couple of other things about him - and other critics - that seriously irritate me

* Having a Top 10 list where the interstitial "number X" segments go on for like 5 seconds. It doesn't seem like a lot, but to me it kills the flow of the video very quickly.
* Shoving a fair use disclaimer at the front of a video consisting entirely of copyrighted footage.
* Contradicting yourself - in Strider's case, declaring that he'll respect the opinion of those who like stuff that he doesn't before harshly insulting the very first show on the list.
* And most critically: ridiculous hyperbole about your emotions about children's entertainment. Calm the fuck down, they aren't that important - especially to someone at least a decade older than the target audience.

Preaching to the choir (as someone who still likes watching cartoons (despite being too old.) and is ashamed to hear of/about/having to deal with "people" like this, anyway.) - the sad part is, like En-tard, we can't make this guy a lolcow (as much as he's asking for it, too...), can we?

Is this some body positivity bullshit? He looks like a clown without makeup, of course people are going to laugh at him.

If Buck did shave his head and grow a beard, he'd at least look his age.

Though I do suspect most of the people suggesting he does that are either referencing Brad or Breaking Bad.

Doug Walker, the man who hates Seltzerberg movies but loves putting in random pop culture references in lieu of jokes.

It's hilarious since he then criticizes movies that use frequent pop culture references (i.e. his criticisms of Shrek and Aladdin).

As for Strider, we could make a thread about him, but honestly the only thing we have to talk about is his videos. And so far there isn't anything like a massive chimp-out in them.

Not that important, just run of the mill tumblrina SJW fangirls, but I dislike white ugly girls in their attempt to not be racists they constantly cream themselves over "POC" and fetishize them to their upmost. You know how awkward it is to hear "my beautiful indian queen"? You're still dehumanizing a person and reducing them to just their skin color..

EDIT: Jfc their whole channel is cringey. it's typical tumblr crap as a video "we're white women but we talk about POC issues in disney films/Maleficent is totally a rape survivor/Beauty and the Beast should have people of color/etc etc etc". Just typical womenchildren crap.

Matt, judging by your Patreon numbers, there's not a lot of people willing to "deal with it," like you are.

Cinemassacre also has fewer people and fewer production costs for their mainstream videos which is amazing considering TGWTG.com was always about "being a movie star" yet they can't get shit like boom mics and proper camera angles? James is one guy and he's immensely better at it than any of the guys at TGWTG. That's just sad.

I've always wondered why Doug never teamed up with James and just asked him how basic film making things worked. He owns a studio but is incompetent, James is competent but doesn't own a studio. They could actually make real people movies if they did.

It would never happen. You can tell that through that forced smile Doug puts on that he has a massive grudge against James for being more successful. I wouldn't be surprised if it came up and Doug refused because he wanted to prove he was better than James and would refuse to outside advice.

Well, James does live in Philadelphia while Doug lives in Chicago, and James has a daughter with a rather serious medical condition. It's not exactly easy for James to go to Chicago and Doug can't exactly bring his studio with him.

The medical condition was just an issue after birth that's been sorted out. She's a typical healthy four year-old now.

Well, he still has a wife and kid and probably can't take a few months off to tutor Doug on the ins and outs of movie production.

Yeah. They may be friendly towards each other but James certainly hasn't got the time to get Doug on his level

He would look better if he just shaves it.

And brush his teeth.

And look where that got him- faltering watcher count, copyright issues, a whole format change (and not for the better).

While James has managed to create multiple, successful, series and managed to keep his fanbase mostly intact by branching out. I imagine if someone brought that up to Doug these days, I wonder what the reaction would be like.

Just goes to show you that having a studio and an abundance of mediocre actors doesn't equal success. You may have "some production value", but when you lack creativity like using green screen for every single goddamn skit it shows you're not there yet. James is the alpha film maker.

Irate Gamer seems to be a mix of all the bad things of Nostalgia Critic, Linkara and AVGN.

The Irate Gamer is literally just an AVGN ripoff. Even James doesn't give enough of a fuck to give him a second thought.

It amazes me that anyone would give a fuck about him. Even when he was regularly producing content.
