You're on a message board for a 25+ year old role playing game complaining because someone has a "weird beard" and has his studio set up to reflect his target demographic.

No idea why that bothers you so much, but saying you don't give a shit about his beard and you enjoy his content isn't "white knighting"

I live close to the main Funko headquarters. The lines down the street to get into that place are ridiculous. I dont understand the hype for them. I will say the store is pretty cool to walk around though.
I wouldn't say I collect Funko Pops. I own like 6, but I got them cuz I am an Iron Maiden fan and love Eddie.

I don't get the weird collect them all shit though. It is just the new Beanie Baby from when we were younger. They had a big crash in popularity lately. Also at least collecting Funko Pops isn't as gay as those Stanley cup collector whackos.

Fake edit: There are Reddit groups for hating all of these guys? I guess I am not surprised but still.
Dude, there are hate Reddit groups for like every type. It's not just those guys, but it seems a lot of reactors and reviewers on YouTube get weird reddit hate. I have seen hate reddits for streamers, food reactors, tv/movie reviewers, etc. it's crazy, but not as crazy when you realize YouTube commenters are the same kind of dipshits Redditors are.

TOS but they know if they enforced it reddit wouldn't even exist. Reddit used to fold up fast when given legal notice on targeted harassment/bullying. Doubt that's changed much, but few creators care that much. Hatewatchers are views. Mentions are engagement.

Who the hell is that weirdo? You can just tell he sweats pizza rolls, or does doordash food delivery or something as equally faggy.

I don't think we're his target audience, whoever the hell he is and what retarded stuff he's putting out onto YouTube.

Isn't manchild the appropriate phrase to use for something like this?
That's the guy with the toys for street cred. Isn't that what we were discussing?

Yeah I believe so. I don't know let alone really care. Apparently when I now I bitch about weirdo-beardos, it pisses people off. Truth be told they all look the same.

Hey to each their own, if you like watching some dip shit jerking off to Star Wars, I'm not paying for your YouTube premium subscription, so more power to ya.

Maybe your comment hit too close to home for them. It's like goofing on grown ass men who wear sneakers and shorts out in public.

Gary Nerdrotic is a soyboy bitch, who used to sell meth to kids, and doesn't have one original thought behind those glasses. Also, he's a major cuck for hollywood, who let Zack Snyder on his show, just to insult him and his supporters - who were donating thousands of dollars to a charity in his name - and didn't say a word back, because again, soyboy bitch.

If I wear shorts I normally wear a sandals or boat shoes, but I guess when I'm home I'm barefoot.

See, I made you feel self conscious for a second. It's why you got flack for goofing on men who keep little kid toys in their home.

I don't understand how the hell you came to that God damn conclusion, when it's nice and warm outside I'm normally barefoot but if I go out fishing if I'm not wearing waders, or mud boots, I'm wearing sandals. I love wearing shorts and I can't wait for the weather to finally get to the point where I'm not having a word khakis every goddamn day.

That's super true, and makes me want to write about the broken promise and wasted potential sequel trilogy again, before we knew the monster that Lucasfilm would become under the Disney/KK banner. Someone on X dot come was trying to defend The Last Jedi the other night; these folks never go away.

I really like Mauler overall, and appreciate his takes as I mentioned before: Top geezer, he is. I very obviously don't mind going on at length on various subjects but just personally find the continuous stop/start of the EFAP format grating. His appearances on other shows and in formats are always good.

Fake edit: There are Reddit groups for hating all of these guys? I guess I am not surprised but still.

Anything that's not full on hard leftist has a reddit sub dedicated to consuming all of someone's content just to complain about how terrible it is and how much they hate it.

The toys are weird, but I find the people that collect the I dunno statuettes? even weirder. Like an entire basement full of glass cases, with these 12" tall things that cost hundreds of dollars. At least the toys conceivably they get collected here and there at cheap money each, it's just a collection thing. What the fuck are you doing with hundreds of statuettes? Do you walk around and look at them periodically or something?
You just described my brother , except his glass cases have LED lights inside what are connected to Alexa so he can turn them on by voice, AND he has a wall of light sabers on their own display. These are not the run of the mill lightsabers , oh no, They are custom made ones.
I asked him if he ran around naked jacking off to these or what. Apparently that's not a good question to ask your brother? I mean he does have a wife and kids.

Man, reddit hate subs are some fucking crazy shit. I never really came across that until recently.

I used to watch the Angry Video Game Nerd back in the day and just kind of randomly watched a handful of his videos over the holidays. I was curious about where some of his regular cast members went and I ended up on a hate sub dedicated to him of all people. It's full of people endlessly consuming all his content only to say how awful it is in every possible way and how he's a POS and sellout for not having the same energy and enthusiasm as a mid 40s successful dad that he did when he was a single 26 year old trying to prove himself. I'm pretty sure they devote more energy than his average positive fan.

I really cannot fathom what compels these people. For me, when someone's content gets old or stale, I just stop watching, end of story. The hate sub people should probably be gassed.

What's funny is these weirdos never put themselves out there. I'm sure if he did he wouldn't have a million followers. All he wants to do is bitch about other people.

I wasn't able to continue this discussion during the day and it seems like it has run its course for the most part. My final thought: It really seems like a weird flex to bag on people for their hobbies or their appearance. No one is "jerking off to Star Wars"; These critics are popular because they gives voice to a large audience of folks tired of seeing their favorite IPs used for ideological purposes and tired of seeing terrible movies and TV produced to further those same agendas, just like folks here are tired of seeing those same ideological agendas in games produce terrible product after terrible product.

I personally would think that one might find common purpose with those who believe similar things, witnessing the same agenda being pushed across multiple genres and hobbies but if some folks think that one's hobbies give some kind of superior status in some perceived social (nerd) hierarchy, so be it. My undergraduate degree is in Sociology, so these questions interest me but to save everyone the page space I won't indulge my lesser angels in this regard.

I like (almost) everyone in this discussion, I like these YouTube guys/channels/content. Others don't. Live and let live.
