The guy who at one point said he does not like or care about drama on social media regarding influencers dropped a thatistheplan-like video on Adin Ross of all people.

Somehow, the thumbnail managed to make Adin look less cringeworthy when compared to the guy who’s mustache makes him look like a “concern trolling” version of Ned Flanders.

Now all I can picture is hipster Ned Flanders yelling "Hi-Dildoly-Ho Gayborino!"

Here’s Fantano’s list of albums he is excited to listen to in 2026
Let me guess: a gang of niggers singing about their pussy and assholes, some dyke trans folks crying about white supremacy and some extreme brutal death metal but this time it's not just about gore it's also about outer space and really deep!!

You were close.
He name drops Charli XCX, Beyoncé, Lil Nas X, The 1975 and a bunch of artists that appeal to the hipster core of his audience.

Here’s Fantano’s list of albums he is excited to listen to in 2026
Here, I'll take a gander:

5. Lil Rape - Nigger bops 6: tha return of da nig
4. $ubhum@n MC - Dem crakazz wildin
3. Cardi B - wet 4 BBC
2. Sadfahg Cuckoldinsky - Broken Hearts and Sloppy Seconds (portland emo o algo)
1. The French Faggots - Too Deep
 

does anyone know what Anthony Fantano's opinion on this is? I need to know if it's ok for me to enjoy this, or if these got the red flannel.
 
Man, that Fader article really broke him, didn't it?
That article scared him away from doing anything that could be considered even remotely edgy or right-wing. Which is fucking insane to me, because that style of comedy wasn't even right-wing outside of Sam Hyde. For the most part it was apolitical and just absurdist, even stuff like Filthy Frank was offensive in a transgressive way, it wasn't like he was just going on video and yelling racial slurs. You had Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt making similar stuff on Adult Swim at the same time with Loiter Squad. There's even evidence that Tyler the Creator watched MDE at one point.

The music industry as a whole is a left/liberal leaning space, especially if we are just talking about artists. For a guy like Fantano, who wants nothing more than to be liked in that space and to be taken seriously by the artists whose albums he's reviewing, coming off as some far-right Nazi who's making videos with Sam Hyde is TERRIFYING. I also have always had this sneaking suspicion that he rates certain artists like Charli XCX higher for this a similar reason, but that's a separate conversation.

Completely and totally. I was a fan of Fantano before the Fader and the change since then has been night and day. Fantano used to advocate for free speech (it used to literally be in his twitter bio before he took it out post wokening) , he enjoyed edgy humor, he was shockingly cool about talking with people of differing political views of him like Sam Hyde. All of that went out the window the second a shitty third rate website wrote a hit piece about him. The guy is just a massive, massive pussy. The biggest spineless coward there is. The second he got a bit of pushback he totally folded under pressure and became a hardcore SJW virtue signlaer guy. The exact type he used to mock on his thatistheplan second channel.
The Twitter leftie thing where they just spam ME MAD ME MAD ME MAD ME MAD over and over is a toddler tantrum in text form. That's all it is. It's a kid at Toys R us screaming on the floor because he didn't get the toy he wanted. FUCK ICE FUCK ICE is I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT
 
On X, Grimes and Anthony Fantano managed to get into a big argument over current day politics involving “martial law”

And if you didn’t know, Fantano still has his replies turned off.

Fantano's been such a fag over this ICE shit. He posted this on his YouTube account the other day:

Some random livestreamer latino saying people should act with better self-preservation instincts, and Fantano adds onto the anti-nuance dogpile.

Edit:
At the risk of double posting, LosPollosTV literally just called out Fantano, Hasan Piker and Ludwig (just to name a few). It comes after he was getting backlash from both sides of the political aisle after deleting his tweets for defending ICE officers for simply doing heir job:

On the subject of Fantano and him discussing fascism here is what a 31 year old Fantano was saying about Antifa (and yes the main people going after ICE are antifa) before the Fader scared him into becoming the spineless worm he is today. This was February of 2017 btw Trump was in office so he can't make the argument that it was a pre trump world the wall and ICE were all being talked about with the "kids in cages" shit.

it would've been extremely funny if kanye released his apology to FADER instead of WSJ

Reading his post. Finally someone else that pro deportation calls out the hype videos. I felt like I was crazy or something. Like I thought at first Trump really wanted to cause civil unrest, before I decided no he's just actually really dumb. It was such a fucking stupid thing for the federal government to do.

It was literally a big part of the fuel that went into the fire that caused these protests. Every one of them ended up on reddit, for them to show the heckin nazis going after defenseless brown people. I don't know why no one else talks about how fucking retarded that shit is. It's directly led to LESS deportations because people are now interfering with ICE operations.
 
Fantano uploaded this:
I haven't bothered to watch it, and probably won't, because this bitch fight is already too painfully cringe for me.

His thumbnails have a tendency to make his perceived enemies look more cooler than him, and his face looks cartoonish. He even did this with the time he reviewed D’Angelo’s Voodoo

IMG_1613.jpeg IMG_1614.jpeg

And on theneedledrop YT channel, these were just some of the thumbnails that he deliberately thought made him look quirky

IMG_1615.jpeg IMG_1616.jpeg

Plus this one he made just a week ago:

IMG_1617.jpeg IMG_1618.jpeg

I know there will be his fans that will say that he is unintentionally doing this to mock the way how YouTubers used to exaggerate their faces to make people watch the content out of curiosity, but even for Fantano, this just seems excessive. His thumbnails are far more distracting and childish than him actually attempting to review music.
