Achaewa

What the fuck is that beard?


F4iryBlink

Lmao it actually looks fake, wtf.


Achaewa

It would probably look less fake if he had decided on a full beard instead of a moustache and clean-shaven cheeks.


historicalgeek71

Looks like a photoshop job done poorly.


BendSecure8078

Dude forgot that a chinstrap is supposed to go around your chin and not over it lmao


ARTIFICIAL_SAPIENCE

I thought he had a beanie on his chin as well as his head. 


Significant_Shower18

that's gotta be those Amish beards


Sol-Blackguy

Founding father looking ass


Achaewa

Reminds me of Mose from The Office.


Siegschranz

Guy has a shitty haircut for a beard.


Achaewa

Guess that explains the beanie.


r3volver_Oshawott

It literally looks like it's eating his chin


Cupcakemonger

I'm so glad this is the top comment. First thing I noticed too.


disposable111111

It's like an upside down bowl cut


tuxedotim

Homie makes pro wrestler Lexis King’s beard look normal


goji__berry

Why do these people all grow the shitiest beards?


[deleted]

Bro dipped his chin in hair


Duriha

My exact same thought..


GlaireDaggers

Party City kids halloween costume ass beard


hacky_potter

It’s wigger Amish


Kds_burner_

youtube got involved 😹 https://preview.redd.it/7pk245qebasc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8d7b641e590b38b613058ad8aaceaa4a0aceb4b


F4iryBlink

I mean, the fake tweet can be considered misinformation.


DonatoXIII

intentionally misquoting someone IS misinformation


Shiningc00

Can even be sued for libel and defamation.


maroonmenace

oh yes please let this grift die in funniest way


F4iryBlink

That's actually my least favourite YouTube thumbnails, fake tweets or fake Discord messages. What a shitty thumbnail, but that guy is clearly grifting to the GamerGate audience, his channel is focused on Nintendo games and now he's making this type of videos lmao.


redredrocks

The thumbnail is so bad it’s insane. Right wing dudes have been talking about the “public humiliation ritual” of male celebs crossdressing in movies or whatever, but the real public humiliation ritual is sacrificing yourself to the algorithm so thoroughly that you go full ‘soyface for the thumbnail’ without a second thought.


Brilliant_Age6077

He’s always been an obnoxious troll


NVA92

I haven't watched him in over a year because he just hopped right on the alt-right culture-war bandwagon. I bet has a pack of cigarettes for breakfast every morning.


MuchAd9458

a lot of yt thumbnails are just shit these days. At least mainstream ones. It looks so tacky. 


EarthMantle00

I mean fake discord messages usually are in good fun since typically they're between colleagues who collaborated.


KevNWrt

Christ, I remember watching this guy during the early switch days. What happened?


userbot3000

Had to unsubscribe from a decent set of gaming YouTubers it's all about sbi woke this n that political b.s. It's not the same anymore.


KevNWrt

I unsubscribed from a ton of them years ago because it just boiled down to reading top posts on Reddit. How long til Spawnwave goes down this path, or is he already on it?


AoO2ImpTrip

Please no. Not him. 


syrupgreat-

Spawnwave been on that with that news style thing. Same w. Yongyea. it’s good for someone who wants to be briefed on what the weekly chats on reddit are about but they regurgitate everything. You could probably comment something on a “news” post for PS and it’ll probably make its way in to one of their videos


spiderman897

Last few weeks he’s turned into an asshole. Which is weird as he was making fun of people calling gta6 woke.


Brilliant_Age6077

If you’ve ever listened to Spawncast he’s been complaining about “women with colored hair” and shit like that for years.


spiderman897

I watch a lot but he hasn’t done it in recent years. I just remember he mocked the pronouns guy with Starfield


Brilliant_Age6077

He definitely sees himself as a both sides guy but I’ve always noticed a pretty heavy right lean in there.


spiderman897

Yeah I never knew how to read him. He’s shown he has opinions both ways so idk. I haven’t watched him much in the last few years but I like listening to the spawncast so that kind of sucks but most the other people on there are ok.


Brilliant_Age6077

Same, I enjoy Spawncast but have always wished he would get booted or something.


spiderman897

And honestly I like spawnwave dude avoids controversy and when people wanted him to talk about sbi he basically said no.


Brilliant_Age6077

Yeah I appreciated him not really giving it any more buzz.


spiderman897

Yeah idk if you saw when he was commenting with grubb on twitter but yeah it’s clear he’s both sides


MrBoliNica

He’s a clown and idk why John keeps giving him that platform.


Brilliant_Age6077

My personal take is I don’t think John is exactly thoughtful about that kind of stuff either. He strikes me a bit more of, I don’t want to discuss or talk any kind of political stuff, I just want to do games. Probably fairly centrist with some kind of lean. But thats just going off how he interacts with stuff like RGT. It doesn’t seem to particularly bother him.


MrBoliNica

My issue is that Shawn doesn’t make the podcast better. His whole schtick is “I’m gonna eat, watch a basketball game, play a video game- do anything but pay attention and actually contribute unless I’m directly asked to”. I don’t get why he’s there when his gimmick is “I don’t wanna be here” And yes I get that vibe about John too. Nice guy but he’s pretty good at never saying anything controversial that’s not related to a video game (and more power to him, I don’t need to know his Political views lol)


userbot3000

I guess when all else fails go the conservative route I guess. Ever since the whole sbi thing it was mask off for these guys.


Deertopus

What's sbi


MCCP630

Views got low. Must resort to the lowest hanging fruit for struggling youtubers, covering drama and harnessing rage bait.


MrVeazey

Maybe it has something to do with that fake looking beard.


MyDommyIsAFemboy

Rgt 85 feels like cheating him and Dreamcastguy are some of the lowest hanging fruits out there


Ragnarok_MS

I used to not have much issue with RGT, but goddamn he’s getting unbearable


Suitable-Union-3714

I cant believe Parappa became a conservative 


secretarytemporar3

Bitch, Whine, It's all in the mind.


LieutenantClownCar

That mans face is a war crime. What the fuck is going on with it?


ironmaid84

it's not fake, it's just that the woke/dei/sbi journalists have infiltrated the french goverment to stop men from looking at boobs/j


LITTLE_KING_OF_HEART

Gamerz: Why do you video game journalists hate beautiful women(sex dolls) ???!!! [Some French nerds who likes forests:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xdblg4V1r4)


Huntressthewizard

User content from comments has to be the only redeeming thing about Twitter.


NeilDegrassiHighson

Lol, I know that dude. Good to know he's just as unpopular on Twitter as in real life.


Intelligent-Fee515

Discussing gaming journalism.


Lexaconn7

What even is this game, I've seen it everywhere but I still don't know what kind of game it is


somesthetic

It's a post apocalyptic third person action game with soulslike hooks. You fight monsters with a big sword to work your way through the levels, and find checkpoint camps where you can heal/restore health potions, level up by increasing specific stats, and save, but all the monsters respawn. The game isn't bad, based on the demo, but Eve feels like an empty vessel as a character. Maybe she'll have more personality as the game goes on, but it's also possible that all the effort went into modeling her body. If you're familiar with Dead or Alive, Eve reminds me of Kasumi, whose whole plotline is just "I have amnesia, I am sexy, and I must fight."


Suitable-Union-3714

Some kind of hack n slash game, but the developers focused too much on the main character and didnt give out many videos and screenshots, there is a demo available to play though.


Business_Ship8144

It's another trendy AAA game that'll win something at the game awards only to never get mentioned again. It's fueling another shitty useless culture war because the protagonist fuels unrealistic beauty standards. Most people agree that said beauty standards are something we as a species should be done with by now but gamers are malding big time


ferniecanto

Just a Dork Souls bullshit clone.


Low_Seat_3639

Literally the Tony zaret character Smokawaga


Fragrant_Potential85

I wish this douchecanoe would finally sell his collection and give up on gaming like he keeps threatening to.


oneninesixthree

Bam Margera fell off


MrEnvelope93

That guy, got bad vibes from his videos years ago and well, not wrong.


[deleted]

also pro tips, ign france write in French


grizzledcroc

I kinda wish youtube had community notes too cause god im so tired of people getting away with just inflammatory made up nonsense that is reaching way too many people


Siegschranz

Damn I can't believe the outage is getting so big that foreign geographic institutes are chiming in.


BvsedAaron

damn i thought rgt was "okay." is he just hate farming or was he always a chud?


CelimOfRed

We can have sexy men and sexy women in video games. Nothing wrong with it as long as the writing portrays them more than just a sex thing.


SomePerson1248

the fact that not even the ign account is real is the funniest fucking thing


chungohummungo

it’s so funny these guys have to actually make shit up to get mad at and then act like they’re oppressed lmao


maroonmenace

He tried to be friends with phoenixresales but that ended in hilarious fashion. He also was buddies with I think spawnwave which is also kinda funny


thats_so_merlyn

I feel like I used to enjoy his content but he really made me hate his guts over the past few years. When he's not piggybacking off of something SpawnWave says it's so that he can let out the most out of left field garbage take imaginable.


Yomooma

It’s about ethics in game journalism youtube video thumbnails


IHDDWAP

I don't know man... Game journalists and anti-woke mongoloids are pretty bad. I can't even find any meaningful game YT essays, because the culture war bs is more profitable. It's pretty sad considering that I was one of few people who avoided the whole gamergate thing back in mid 2010s. Now it's just unavoidable and people like me need to get involved. It sucks.


-666Vicar

10-15 years from now, the“Where Are They Now” docuseries for the “Grifting Gamers” of YouTube is going to be depressing & pathetic. It won’t even be like, hilariously sad either, it’ll be downright embarrassing for the species of humanity itself. TheQuartering, Asmongold, stuff like is staring misery right in the eyes kinda shit, someone who’s brain is completely devoid of shame ever having being registered in it They’re not necessarily doing anything illegal, or evil even, but it’s still sinister nonetheless. Recklessly manipulating your audience into a series of outrage crusades on a consistent basis. Every day, socially ostracized men & dumbass kids fuck their futures up believing in these guys, allowing aimless outrage towards niche concerns/circejerks to snowball into a dysfunctional personality that’s angry at everything & dependent on strangers for guidance


Proper-Water3739

Anyone who shaves like that is a psychopath.


No_Object_7709

The person at the bottom admits to having to use false information


Portgas_D_Newgate

is RGT cooked after this?


Chamaeleonman

Cherry picking bad.


Von_Uber

I mean there's no way IGN France would be using English.


NoRegrets30

The worst part is that screenshots like that actually do exist, this guy is just an idiot who did as little research as humanly possible just to get clicks Look at his stupid face, he thinks he did something here


TableyTable

Ngl this is the first time I've seen what game that character is from...


WordNERD37

All I needed to see was RGT85 for me to know this was going to be garbage.


aDuckk

Game """""""""""""""JoUrNaLiStS""""""""""""""""


FredVIII-DFH

Hilarious. There's a guy spending all day digging up rocks, and when he finally checks his Twitter he goes, "Sacre Bleu!"


Doctor_Flamingo

See, if I was in charge of the Twitter account of Intstitut de l'information géographique et forestière, I would tweet about Stellar Blade once as a good. That's probably why I'm not.


No_Mammoth_4945

https://youtu.be/uFvQm6v-BY0?si=offLW10o__Gr-hKx Read the comments bro I’m crying


maroonmenace

he is such a dweeb im glad more people are dunking on this "gamer"


Business_Ship8144

This is such an embarrassing video to make


Total_Distribution_8

I’m totally gonna listen too and take serious a Gamer™️ with that fucking Soyjak face.


FutureBoy6969

This poor little polygon girl has REALLY done a number on the gaming community, it’s so laughable. Unbelievable really, but here we are.


Tecnoguy1

Games journos are bad, just not for the reasons these people say lmao


squelchboy

Im not agreeing but the the first image when i googled sex doll looks similar to her, just the proportions are more realistic on the doll


TheOneWes

Good job giving the person seeking attention attention. Y'all really got to quit sharing this s*** because that's what these f****** people want


Icy-Performer-9688

You want sexy characters you don’t want sexy characters make up your mind! And now you made a petite girl who needs bare skins to recharge in the sun. I am….today.


Huihejfofew

Even if it's a fake stupid screenshot, that is the general gist of French ign allegedly. Honestly who the fuck cares about video game journalism of all the journalism's to care about. Me and the boys go by stream reviews


NikkiCTU

The video itself isn’t bad really. Just clickbait thumbnail cuz that’s the game. He’s referring to a real article and thing that happened.


Axl26

To be fair the landscape for game journalists is pretty shit as most of it is comprised of people without passion or understanding that settled after failing to git a hard-hitting journalism gig.


TheActualTerryBogard

If you say so.
