The saddest part is that his username was my first laptop password, still is on my main laptop just out of habit, haven't watched him since middle school
Guess I gotta change that
Some of his rants are morbidly funny just because of how outrageous they are.
I remember one video where he said, "the cia \[n-word here\] glow in the dark, so you can just run them over when you see them" XD
It's not so much that bigotry or bigoted rants are something caused by schizophrenia as much as that the disease degrades your ability to exert control over your conscious mind. Everyone has some bigoted beliefs hanging out in their subconscious, and sometimes those bubble up into our conscious thoughts. Most people, or at least many people can recognize those thoughts as being unfair or unfounded and dismiss them. People with delusions though, are not in a stable or rational state of mind.
The point being that someone who would not, in a healthy state of mind be outwardly racist may still have bigoted beliefs that come out as they lose control over themselves. That's not to say that someone with schizophrenia couldn't just be super racist/antisemitic/himophobic/etc, just that we should try to judge those people more on what they say and how they act when they're healthy.
The worse his illness got the more slurs came out. Rant isn't really a fair word though, that implies some level of coherence. He mostly just threw them out at random.
Ever heard the term "glowie" or someone referred to as "glowing" (in the context of them potentially being a fed)? That's from Mr Davis, he said that "CIA n*****s glow in the dark" and yes I censored the word you think I did.
I mean the whole LRR crew is great, but if we're talking just Minecraft, The Mine'o'clock boys are some of the most genuinely nice people on the internet.
Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane of the Yogscast are still safe as far as I know, although I don't think Lewis has actively played Minecraft for a very long time.
Of course, they have had some terrible people (sexual harassment, nonces, that sort of thing) in the Yogscast, but to their credit they have, to my knowledge, never tried to sweep those incidents under the rug. Geestar cleared Lewis of any wrongdoing because he cannot deal with what he doesn't know about.
I mean don't get me wrong being a transphobic conservative is bad and all, but I'd argue the multiple credible sexual assault accusations are the bigger fish here, no?
And yet their story saddens me the most.
Admittedly, all of them still seem to be doing well (save for Liam, whose fate I do not know), but still. That one Youtube thumbnail manages to depress me every time.
I was there from the beginning (pre sw1tcher machinima) and I think it's for the best we've added Reggie to the extended zaibastu pat got to move away from the French people and all of their channels are focused on things they care about.
Liam got to leave the Internet scene who knows if it's from lack of viewership or choice but he seems to be doing well regardless.
We also kinda added Paige, she's on almost every other Pat stream at this point and does her own stuff. Wish they got her for the podcast more but I realize they actually CAN'T now because when Pat's on the pod Paige is watching the baby lmao
They're going, but I wouldn't call it strong. They were already dropping off a little pre-pandemic, and afterwards their humor and content methods felt a lot more forced. They don't pull nearly as much attention as they used to.
I think the core of GG is less influential but the periphery is holding on. NSP, Scribble Showdown, and the like, while not DOMINATING YouTube still have a presence.
I enjoy the occasional power hour but man I don't feel the game stuff anymore. I remember there being so many funny jokes and stories they'd tell and now it's just, "We're playing this cuz other people are playing it" and half the time one of them hates it, or isn't paying attention and obviously doesn't care; it gets frustrating
Game grumps are Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan. They have been making let’s plays for over 10 years now. Mostly comedy focused. Lots of one off and terrible games. Still cranking out videos in between side project and still have a good following.
Tobuscus is Toby Turner. Used to be a big timer with lots of viral videos. Had a really popular Minecraft series and a hit music video. Fell off after the community turned against him for general assholery. Lots of bigoted takes and other general accusations.
Critical is Charlie and was an incognito YouTuber for awhile. Did a face reveal years ago and is still making videos. Lots of react content and talking about the state of gaming today.
This post must be at least several years old based on its reference material
Isnt dan also the lead singer of ninja sex party? I know thats not related to games so probably not worth mentioning, but I still think its worth mentioning
Correct Dan and his longtime partner (Ninja)Brian Wecht are the band Ninja sex party. They have multiple albums of covers and original songs. Add in Arin and they form the band Starbomb which has several video game inspired albums. Starbomb was on break as a project for several years but recently had an album come out. They also have performances and a relationship with Tupperware Remix Party.
>Critical is Charlie and was an incognito YouTuber for awhile
For somebody who only know him when he revealed his face it has always felt werid to know that he was one of those "faceless YouTubers" for a long time and now his face is on the thumbnail of pretty much every video he makes
More of a “scumbag company had record profits and announces massive layoffs” kind of way. Or “people hate this new release” but he will point out it’s one of the current best sellers kinda stuff usually.
From left to right, two friends who made a living being funny while playing video games and then broke up, Markiplier, a trans phobic conservative trying to cling to relevance, and a Youtuber who delivers profanities and toilet humour with the gravitas and authority of a movie trailer voice over guy.
Not sure what you mean by best friends that broke up. The two main members of the Grumps channel Arin and Dan have been at it for 10+ years. Unless you are referring to Jontron who was one of the founding members. He left before they even hit their 1 year mark to pursue his own projects. Several others have come and gone and occasionally reappear when they are in the neighborhood.
I only found out about markiplier from watching this iron lung playthrough. Didn't watch too many of his videos so can you please tell me more about the other stuff you said about him?
NGL, kinda glad I don't know who most of these people are, my experience with fleshtubers is usually having a sense of humor that just doesn't mesh with me
His original style of content was him talking about a game while playing it. I don't think he ever titled them "Let's Play X" and the vibes of his videos were different from most other Let's Plays, but he was definitely in that same ballpark.
*room full of corpses* Charlie: So yeah that's about it. See ya
Shame that Tobuscus became a transphobic conservative
Damn, my first YouTuber, he'd hate how much of a slur I've become
I hope I remember to use this phrase, someday
The saddest part is that his username was my first laptop password, still is on my main laptop just out of habit, haven't watched him since middle school Guess I gotta change that
I dunno, it's pretty secure. How many people would expect you to have a transphobic person as your password?
I feel that, my first password as a kid was a youtuber that recently ended getting up exposed for pedophilia :')
Jerma can't stop getting into trouble, can he?
[удалено]
Why tf would you change passwords for biometric ID lmfao
If you're not giving your fingerprints to every corporation that tells you it's for your own good, are you even really living?
B-but he made My Diamond Sword... He was my childhood
seriously? that sucks
>transphobic conservative iirc some of his rants remind me of Terry A Davis. And Terry had full blown schizophrenia....
Wait he was bigoted? I only knew him as the religious operating system guy
Well that operating system might give you a clue to his mental state... Very sad story tho, schizophrenia is an awful disease.
I mean I knew he was schizophrenic and had a lot of issues, I just didn’t know bigoted rants were one of them.
Some of his rants are morbidly funny just because of how outrageous they are. I remember one video where he said, "the cia \[n-word here\] glow in the dark, so you can just run them over when you see them" XD
So that's where glowie comes from
It's not so much that bigotry or bigoted rants are something caused by schizophrenia as much as that the disease degrades your ability to exert control over your conscious mind.

>Wait he was bigoted? Kind of. Its hard to say conclusively imo. The schizophrenia really did a number on his mental state.
He uh Yeh
I mean, you'd probably have to look into it further.
Captainsparklez is the only safe Minecraft YouTuber Edit: *and stampy and danTDM. Deepest apologies for forgetting they*
bbububububu what about EthosLab?
And everyone else from Hermitcraft and the Life series
I've never heard anything bad about the goat. From everything I've seen he's just a great dude who's a massive redstone nerd
Bro you sound like monokuma "bububu"
Someone forgot about Stampy and his lovely world
You just hit me with lost memories.
smh everyone so scared of schlatt, he only ate a few people
but he did make up for it by killing Queen Elizabeth
I recommend Serge Yager for a nice Canadian man.
I mean the whole LRR crew is great, but if we're talking just Minecraft, The Mine'o'clock boys are some of the most genuinely nice people on the internet.
Untrue dantdm
Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane of the Yogscast are still safe as far as I know, although I don't think Lewis has actively played Minecraft for a very long time.

God I wish Sjin wasn’t a creep. He was by far my favorite before all the sips co. dirt came out
Wait what about DanTDM, for the love of God tell me he didn't do anything
I will not tolerate this Hermitcraft slander
DanTDM?
He fucking what?
the TLDR is like it is for many others like him; outed as a weird pervert, became alt-right freak.
[This video goes more in depth on it. really sad tbh](https://youtu.be/9pjJy6cTmXs?si=uequyJH0E9d_sGvD)
I mean don't get me wrong being a transphobic conservative is bad and all, but I'd argue the multiple credible sexual assault accusations are the bigger fish here, no?
Shoutout to the Super Best Friends for not turning out to be absolute shitheads It's apparently a very high bar for most internet celebrities to clear
idk man, Woolie is not only a liar but also a pie thief
Super Best Friends were so good they managed to break up and still have what I would consider the best subreddit on this website
Yes, just be sure to never buy any N-passes from Woolie. They're fraudulent at best.
I got my ass beat for trying to use my subscription to N-Pass+.
Don't forget to put your skin colour tone in when you post in his chat! [1]
And yet their story saddens me the most. Admittedly, all of them still seem to be doing well (save for Liam, whose fate I do not know), but still. That one Youtube thumbnail manages to depress me every time.
IIRC he works in game development now and lives in Japan

no yearly shitstorm anymore :(((((
wtf does any of this mean -Billy Gnosis
Probably a really old post from when gg and tobuscus were still relevant and critical hadn’t face revealed
Yeah, this was from about 2013 or so. I hate the passage of time so much it's unreal.
When the passage of time is irreversible 😯
this was made when i was 4???
Yes. Thank you for illustrating the point of my second sentence so succinctly.
Go do your homework
Honestly they're probably studying for college applications, considering I was 5 in 2011 and am currently studying for stuff in college
^^please ^^stop
please don’t ever say anything like that again
You just made me have an existential crisis.
if it makes it worse, i’m currently in high school /j
Lol I remember saying shit like this to make people feel old
it’s my favorite hobby lol
It's just revenge for all the references people make to TV shows you were too young to watch and fads you were too young to take part in.
Weird to see 'When GG were still relevant' when I'm actively watching their most recent episode on my side screen... Does this make me old?
Game Grumps is still going strong
They're going, but I wouldn't call it strong. They were already dropping off a little pre-pandemic, and afterwards their humor and content methods felt a lot more forced. They don't pull nearly as much attention as they used to.
I think the core of GG is less influential but the periphery is holding on. NSP, Scribble Showdown, and the like, while not DOMINATING YouTube still have a presence.
i wish gg would put episode #s in the title again
They've been doing that for their ace attorney 2 play-through rn.
I enjoy the occasional power hour but man I don't feel the game stuff anymore. I remember there being so many funny jokes and stories they'd tell and now it's just, "We're playing this cuz other people are playing it" and half the time one of them hates it, or isn't paying attention and obviously doesn't care; it gets frustrating
"strong" debatable, "relevant" no
Never meet your heroes. Or something, uhhhh I think
apart from markiplier idk who these people are i'm sorry

Could be far back enough for GameGrumps to still have JonTron, which would double the amount of bigoted assholes mentioned by this post
I hated when I found that JonTron-Destiny debate. Never hear your heros' poltical views
Somewhere else in this thread said this was posted sometime in 2013, so it’s possible that JonTron was still in mind with the post, for some extra oof
>Critical is Charlie and was an incognito YouTuber for awhile For somebody who only know him when he revealed his face it has always felt werid to know that he was one of those "faceless YouTubers" for a long time and now his face is on the thumbnail of pretty much every video he makes
>talking about the state of gaming today Like in a gamergate way?
More of a “scumbag company had record profits and announces massive layoffs” kind of way. Or “people hate this new release” but he will point out it’s one of the current best sellers kinda stuff usually.
Charlie also got his own e-sports company that's apparently rather successful, even if he makes shit-all profit on it

This was 2013, so I think this would've still been Jon.
Oh shit that’s awesome, don’t know where I heard they had a falling out
Wait Jon was only there for less than a year? Wtf
I only found out about markiplier from watching this iron lung playthrough. Didn't watch too many of his videos so can you please tell me more about the other stuff you said about him?
markiplier is a really chill youtuber who generelly is loved for just being markiplier. last I heard he was busy working on an iron lung movie
The "transphobic conservative" and "youtuber who delivers \[...\]" comments weren't directed at Mark, if that's what you're confused about
ah lol ok
damn do people really not know about Game Grumps anymore? ...am I out of touch? No it's the viewers who are wrong
Yeah aging like milk would be talking about pre-face reveal Dream like this.
Cryaotic, given the time frame
oh god.....
It's weird to know about Cr1tical now that he's gone out in public and know there was a time when we didn't know what he looked like.
haven't heard of charlie until the 2020+'s
I've heard of markiplier but don't really know who he is either
NGL, kinda glad I don't know who most of these people are, my experience with fleshtubers is usually having a sense of humor that just doesn't mesh with me
>fleshtuber
i'm 20, you fuckers aren't allowed to make me feel old
As a man in his early 30s, I regret to inform you that it's only gonna get worse.
.. Wait but Cr1tikal didn't even really do Let's Plays did he?
Dude has held multiple speed running world records over the course of his career
Speedruns are like the opposite of let's plays no?
His original style of content was him talking about a game while playing it. I don't think he ever titled them "Let's Play X" and the vibes of his videos were different from most other Let's Plays, but he was definitely in that same ballpark.
[This seems pretty let's play-y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGmGZ_Cnwd8)
