One of the guys from Oneyplays has the best Donald Trump impression. Still haven't found anyone who does it better.

Eric from the WeHateMovies podcast does a really good Trump impression. Can't really find any clips of it, though.

Wait, did I miss something?

nope, just more bad faith attacks on leftist content creators, presumably from people who have done literally nothing but make leftism look exceedingly toxic

can't even imagine the gall it takes to infer contrapoints isn't left leaning enough. cancelling her is the equivalent of performatively shooting yourself in the head to prove how "pure" you are for your own movement lmfao

She wasn't even 'cancelled'. She made a slightly racist tweet and her fans called her out on it. Then she had a temper tantrum, made an entire video doubling down, and then continued to do so. I've always been somewhat iffy on her channel. Actively supporting and endorsing contrapoints is kind of yikes, and she makes a habit of talking about how very successful she is. But the content was at least enjoyable so I'd watch her videos. Then she makes a problematic tweet. All she had to do was apologize, and instead she makes an hour long video pretending she's cancelled and trying to prove she didn't do anything wrong. So I stopped watching her content.

Good riddance tbh.
Ah, so you're on the side of the deranged twitter mutants. Or...you're actually one of them, if that is the case I do know a remedy for your condition if you're interested

Best I could find with little effort, but in short Natalie has made multiple remarks disparaging nonbinary people. She refuses to acknowledge or understand Enby viewpoints at all. She's also made a lot of rather transphobic remarks in the vein of "you're only really trans if you've started transitioning", and to top it off she makes a bunch of right-wing tier jokes that sound suspiciously like attack helicopter 'jokes'.
And like Lindsey Ellis, when her fans asked her to to reconsider her views on the subject she doubled down, made an hour long video about getting #Cancelled, and made a ton of money off the whole thing.

Everything surrounding Channel Awesome is just fascinating to me. It's like a perfectly told joke.

Can you imagine how great a prestige television comedy-drama about the rise and fall of Channel Awesome would be?

Yikes. This is a take so bad even resetERA would perma you for that. She said a stupid twitter comment and doubled down. People refused to let it rest. The hate mob drowned out actual criticism we made against her and would not let up.

Oh, she privated the message to her patreons.

See, that's also kind of shit. I get that it was going viral and that's kind of exactly what she didn't want, but she's only showing the post telling people that there's no benefit to donating money to her after they donate money to her.

The internet is a very public medium. Expecting an internet rant to be "private" somehow is absurdly delusional.
By the time you freak out about it going viral and lock everything down, it's already too damn late.

Oney mostly talks about stuff that a 12 year old wouldn't understand. He and his friends often discuss stuff from the perspective of someone who was born in the 90s.

Anyway I'm 40, 10 years older than them. And I am obsessed with oneyplays. If you think 12 year olfs watch him, I think you don't really know much about oneyplays.
Dude, their whole brand is designed to appeal to kids. The silly voices, the edgy jokes, the highly marketable cartoon avatars of themselves, the sense of parasocial friendship they harvest in their audience. Who cares if they make old pop culture references? So did Johnny Bravo and Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Every prominent let's player has an audience if mostly children. Game Grumps, Markplier, Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, etc. You think Oney's the single exception?

They joke often that their audience is autistic. Not young
You know who would find that joke funny? Children.

I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of OG Let's Players have mostly adult audiences now because they started watching when they were young. The Yogscast, for instance, have mentioned a few times that their videos are mostly watched by people 20+.
I don't believe them tbh. Most people move on and new viewers come in to fill the gaps.

Cancel culture totally doesn't exist though.

I'm legitimately surprised that Moviebob hasn't been cancelled by the internet mob by now considering how you can play "Moviebob or neo nazi" with half of the shit he posts on twitter.
Bob works for Game Theory now though who knows, I wouldnt be surprised if MatPat has some skeletons in his closet

Film Brain really got fucked hard by this, where he's insufferable beyond comprehension in those dogshit movies and the polar opposite of what he is like in his own videos.

Reminded of that time where he, Ding Dong, and Julian were making fun of that parking lot Kingdom Hearts video, but also fully admitted they probably would have been in a similar situation if they had access to the internet to a significant capacity when they were younger. And the time where he and some of the Sleepycabin guys convinced Cory before the two met that Egoraptor was autistic and Egoraptor was not only not offended, but apparently found it hilarious and played along with the lie when he met Cory for the first time.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Yea, but it's not uncommon for people to give money to people on the internet simply to indulge their parasocial relationship, even if they don't actually get anything for it. Spoony still had people giving him money on Patreon, and he hasn't done jack shit in years.

It's called "hipster welfare" for a reason.

And her patreon has gone through the roof since this happened. It's just to make her feel better at this point.
