Even if Gundam always mispronounces half the things he says I always love his take on these things. His editing and clip choice always does it for me lol.
These cringey, anime-avatar having, dorkingly cynical and contrarian for the sake of being contrarian mid-aged millennial YouTuber takes are just as bad as the worst parts of what they're criticizing.
For example he missed a lot. After G4TV went off the air Blair Herter bounced around various media companies before landing a swell corporate job as some kind of cultivator for a talent agency. Kevin Pereira went on to continue doing pretty much the same with his own company The Attack, which produced a show on some kind of internet Disney channel for a few years (as well as other ventures). They both had a hand in bringing back G4TV as a hybrid content provider banking on both linear / traditional TV content and milking revenue streams from new media like Twitch and YouTube (pretty cool idea in my opinion, though trying to leverage the G4 brand was probably a good three years too late). They both, from their positions in the industry, were lobbying for a return of G4. These are really important things to miss because the Comcast nepotism angle is only a small part of the relaunch, lost completely if one only listens to this YouTuber (And I digress but seriously, he sounds like a 30 year old man doing his level best to sound like a teenager while having an anime avatar and weeblord handle - why do people watch these YouTubers?).
Anyways, I think the shit is being blown way of proportion by two camps: those who are essentially closing in on one side of the horseshoe where the purple-hairs live and think life must involve constant drama and victimhood, and those who hated Olivia Munn and Morgan Webb a decade ago because they were too attractive to be "actual gamers" - whatever that means - and
now complain because this Indiana woman isn't
hot enough. :/
The rest of us are just watching it, taking the good for the bad.
what a clown.
