Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

Thought Potato talking about crypto creatures.
for a moment i thought it was about Jorge Luis Borges book of imaginary beings. I really love that one, it has over 100 pokemanz.

Now that i think about it I don't know why more youtubers don't tap into Borge's fiction more, he wrote about such intrincate concepts. Lovecraft could definitely use a break.

That sounds interesting, I'm going to check that out.

It might be political sperging by me, but maybe it's because he's not anglo. Angloids have a really hard time consuming media that is not made by one of them. You can notice that all the time on Twitter, Youtube or Reddit, the only movies/series/books that are given big attention are those made by americans or british people. A shame, really, they are missing out on a lot of good stuff.

Or, and hear me out here, it could be the fact that the Anglo world primarily speaks English and the people there would prefer to consume media in a language they actually understand.

Uh, yeah? I never said it was for another reason. But it makes me sad that a lot of good media is ignored by a large part of the world simply because of language barriers.

Oh crap. Got my wires mixed.

It could be tbh. Ironically, Borges was a gynormous anglophile himself.

I swear most of the time you see them branch out form the anglosphere that isn't to talk about shit everyone knows about it's just to tell you what this random spic kid emulating his favorite creepypastas uploaded on TikTok, or how these two random monkeys from Africa accidentally recorded themselves drowning, or chinks/ruskies being chinks/ruskies and doing some horrible shit to one another. It's always the lamest fucking trite.

That's one reason he isn't very popular in Anglosphere academia and young book fans don't find out about him. He's as much a WHITENESS as Lovecraft is.

Also his shit's too smart. The whole of ~'60s "art" lit (Borges, Barth, Barthelme, etc., even the Beats) is nearly lost because it all assumes some familiarity with earlier traditions, and kids don't get that anymore.

Borges and Lovecraft both predicted this.

Well he did hate the soviets, peronists and communists. And had some choice things to say

"En Estados Unidos se espera que uno sea partidario de los indios, que hable mal del país y que sea comunista. Cuando me niego a estas tonterías, a veces defraudo a los que me escuchan."

In the United States it is expected that one takes the side of the indians, to speak ill of the country and to be a communist. When i refuse such nonsense, sometimes i dissapoint my listeners
 
The Game Theorist does horror related theory videos and his latest video caused a lot of issues outside the internet to the point where he had to make an apology to the business and personal people harassed and speak out to his fans to not do this again:

He's been doing this for years. Why is he surprised that this happened.

I really liked those two videos, even thought they might not fit the topic of the thread here 100%.
I didn't, because he is really trying to push the message Downpour>Homecoming, when in reality they are both bad, but I'd say that Downpour is still worse. HC is creatively bankrupt, but at least it had some interesting visuals and just copied the old stuff in times when it couldn't come up with something good. And it still had Akira Yamaoka on the soundtrack, which helped a lot. Downpour on the one hand is at least trying to do something unique, but on the other fails miserably. I'd rather have Pyramidhead where it barely belongs, than Totally-not-Pyramidhead-with-a-brick-sledgehammer where it doesn't belong at all.
