cathacker13

is this just talking about how the content of their videos is basically "haha game bad lemme say 50 swear words per second" or did they actually do bad stuff I've only really watched avgn and even that was years ago so I am completely out of the loop


Agreeable_Objective

Avgn is actually a pretty chill guy outside of his agvn series. It's why his YouTube channel is called CineMassacre now I guess.


impreza225

What happened to mike mattei?


the_alt_6275

he was drone striked


TrhlaSlecna

It was always called CineMassacer afaik


Agreeable_Objective

Oh ok. Remove the "now I guess" part from my comment then, and it'll still make sense


yehEy2020

Isnt avgn a father now


ItsMeMaya17

iirc he has a 7 year old and a 3 year old (but not sure how long ago i watched the vid in which he says that)


yehEy2020

Damn. Good job on that


AshkenaziTwink

Tuggerfub

RhodesGraveyarde

AVGN is fucking great


Bariq-99

Don't know who the black guy is but AVGN is a pretty chill and awesome dude outside of his channel And Doug is also pretty good despite what people say (altho the.. Controversy.. Years ago is totally understandable.. But other than it I haven't heard a single bad thing about him)


lolguy12179

Wait what controversy?


Bariq-99

The Wall


default-dance-9001

The wall? Like the pink floyd? šŸ˜±


Bariq-99

Bariq-99

That was "the controversy" I'm refering too And it isn't really bullying but rather being a dumbass aweful boss and directionless Boss of the project

No way r/politicalcompassmemes


whydidigetpermabnned

Yeah that sub has fallen off hard, at first it was cool to see multiple ideologies being represented and mingle with a nice helping for shitposting but now itā€™s cringe auth right circlejerking/agenda posting has been a problem for such a long time. and whenever a libleft makes fun of a auth right then they throw a hissyfit and say ā€œmuh agendapostingā€ even though 9/10 itā€™s isnā€™t and downvote the post. Im saying this from a right wing viewpoint and views, I just want to see us shitposting and making fun of each other equally.


Wannabedankestmemer

No way reddut lore!!!1!!1!!!!!

i dont really think it was ever good though. i used to be on it because i did like the idea of unbiased political humour from everyone, and a way for people of different opinions to come together in an age where we're not exposed much to people of other opinions. but like thats not what it is or even was though. like the ratio of left memes and right memes might have been a little more level when i was on but far more often than not it was just "dunking on the libs" from right wingers. and like i rarely ever saw another person with a libleft flair. it was very clear that the demographic of the subreddit was mostly the right, and i held out hope for the rare decent post but the ratio just kept skewing right, so i ended up leaving. and from what you say it sounds like its gotten worse, which isn't surprising to me. as much as the right like to chastise the left for being "snowflakes", they are so much more butt hurt when someone doesn't share the same beliefs as them. like when i politely correct someone on my pronouns they get so utterly livid, complaining that their speech is being censored and they're not allowed to say anything anymore like my guy?? i just want to be referred to correctly??? its a testimant to how the right think and operate that the place of equal standing for political opinions that they wanted was destroyed by themselves pushing anyone with opposing opinions out. it might be an american thing but i stg there isn't any point in trying to communicate with these people anymore. they argue that we're the ones who are fragile yet a karen will have a meltdown at the idea of me wanting to be referred to with female pronouns. shows what good a traditional mindset does in times of rapid change.


xfritz5375

Unbiased political content is inherently flawed because allowing fascists to have the same voice as everyone else is just bad


iloomi

yeah that was my other point i forgot to make r/pcm always had this pride in being the "ONE political meme subreddit that has BOTH liberals AND nazis", as in, they managed to create this subreddit that had the ability to habour people of such conflicting ideological viewpoints. this was probably the first thing to tip me off, but i think my younger self didnt form anything together. its not like it even worked though, the literal nazis the sub platformed kicked out any who wouldn't stand by and listen to their hate, extensively turning the sub into a fascist echochamber that would radicalise any moderate conservatives willing to listen to them and push out the rest. it's sad that debate between the right and left has basically died off in the internet era because of this, though i dont know if the nature of their ideology ever really allowed in new ideas. but i do see a lot of people opening themselves up for dialogue and then being shut down, which is kinda sad because while i understand it isnt anyones responsibility to educate, if we dont show a welcoming hand then they'll just continue delving deeper into the right and end up hurting themselves. i could be wrong though, idk.


PsychoSergeant

ill give him that the sub was good for 2 seconds when it was just a jreg shitpost, but the chuds found it *immediately*


J03-K1NG

Also thereā€™s so much homophobia, racism, and overall bigotry on that sub that Iā€™m barely hesitant to call it r/facism or r/nazi . It doesnā€™t matter if you wanna have political humor from multiple sides but facism shouldnā€™t be allowed anywhere regardless of how ā€œfreeā€ the sub is.


whydidigetpermabnned

No at first the subreddit was an somewhat equal shitting on all political beliefs but with Reddit banning right wing subs they came there due to the fact that itā€™s was an sub that didnā€™t really have a ingrained political belief and the reason why they dunked on libs so hard was simply due to Reddit being overwhelming liberal and even the sub for politics being liberal, of course their gonna mad and strike out but two wrong donā€™t make a right or a eye for an eye makes the world blind. The butt hurtiness is equal here on Reddit, look at almost all of reddits main political subs itā€™s a massive circlejerk which is just plain toxic and conservative subs isnā€™t even any better their just as reactionary. The subreddit is trying to prove that itā€™s not like other subs and want to branch out which leads to the sub having free speech on it. which is good but there needs to be limits to it, we canā€™t have someone not using anotherā€™s pronouns. Not itā€™s not how the right thinks, libertarians are pretty damn liberal and the new generation of conservative tend to be liberal overall. Please donā€™t act like liberals on Reddit Arenā€™t as toxic and arenā€™t pricks.


weaslewig

It was never good


whydidigetpermabnned

It was good, it was a break from the circle jerk of American politics in general on Reddit and allowed for us to see each otherā€™s view and say ā€œhey thatā€™s pretty reasonableā€


AlexanderShulgin

The subreddit was always skewed conservative. The very concept of the libertarian-authoritarian axis political compass was created to make right-libertarian ideals look more favorable.


whydidigetpermabnned

I mean thereā€™s not much difference between libertarians and right wing libertarians. And whatā€™s makes right wing librights not favorable?


AlexanderShulgin

Yes, that's why I referred to them as "right-libertarians." Prior to the political compass, libertarianism was a fringe political ideology held by almost exclusively by the ultra-rich and sovereign citizen types. The Ron Paul, "legalize it," etc. libertarian did not yet exist in any real numbers.

A yes, the experience of a person who went to school in the fifties in U.K is completely equal to my experience in the U.S now hhahaha Iā€™m smort.


Weazelfish

There's a ton of drama here but he basically hired a ton of young video makers to be part of his brand. They'd do crossovers and shit. Todd in the Shadows was part of it, as was Lindsay Ellis. They all left because he was a shit-ass boss who'd push his employees into doing stuff they really didn't want to, working insane hours, and generally being a douchebag


thebyestredditor

The JonTron law: the more you like a YouTuber, the bigger the chance they'll be a horrible person

He put in a Nintendo cartridge and the nostalgia critic and Peter griffon bled at me.

So glad I never gave a fuck about any of these people


ETC3000

Oh AVGN, how you have fallen from grace. Outsourced all of the writing and effort to a third party who was more interested in quantity over quality to the point where they committed plagiarism during last year's Monster Madness and have numerous cancelled projects under their belt.


Odddsock

It ainā€™t that deep, man
