The thing with DistantKingdom is that he was totally right, then huffed his own fart so hard he lost all his good sense. Started to plain sperg out and then lost touch with all reality. It's a typical internet story really. Joe has basically always been a kook and a shill, but I feel like he used to be more likable.
I haven't really followed distant other then some of his videos talking about the models and exp share, is it just sperging out on twitter or is it something else?
DK may be 'right', but like you said he really huffed his own farts and decided to nitpick to all hell and back on the games, it's gotten to the point where it's extremely sad that he's pandering to the 100th degree in order to maintain the audience he has. Like when he decided to rant about how Galarian Ponyta was a disappointment because it didn't have the fairy typing and how it was now bad.
Recently, a poketuber DuncanCan'tDie/DuncanKneeDeep actually offered to debate DK on a livestream to discuss their points, and DK said no. And I think I know why... It's because DK can't survive without his mindless drones on twitter or his youtube comment section. Seriously, if you so much as disagree with DK on twitter, you will get swarmed by the mindless drones who keep on repeating the same thing again and again, all of it coming out of DK's mouth.
There's no better example of this than when Distant Kingdom compared the Hong Kong protests to BBND a couple weeks back - People got upset that the comparison was made at all, especially when the example use was way to extreme and was seen by people to be really tactless. Especially considering that the conversation was about the EXP share.
DK doubles down on this, even going so far as to say "I didn't compare the two" and "My statement is correct", and his drones ate it up.
From what I saw, while the comparison is legit, that ignores that it's a sensitive topic and not one that should've been used especially in regards to Pokemon. It got so bad that DK and his lapdogs (like a guy named Savij who, like Distant Kingdom, have such an obsession - This obsession is Verlisify, like seriously, almost EVERY video from this guy is about verlisify where it comes off as if he's a stalker, and when you have to say ANYTHING in defense of Verlisify, you know something's wrong) just kept going down.
Look, when it comes to games, you can voice your disagreements with what you want (even though DK likes to parade objective fact as his... 'Opinion' whenever someone criticizes him) - But like ya said @
Perspicacity, he got high off of his farts, and the funny thing is, because for the last half year since his content became hyper focused on this one game and how it sucks, even if it does suck when it comes out, he built his kingdom on a single pebble.
Even if he transitions to mostly generalized pokemon content, there's no guarantee he'll last - There's just so much you can talk shit about something without becoming redundant, especially on a game that will probably be obsolete within a year or two of it's release.
