Callum Nathan Thomas Edmunds / MauLer93 / MauLer and the EFAPshere - Objective discussion about not-Channel Awesome featuring Rags, Southpaw and more!

[PHILLIP BANKS]

If this is the case than Mauler is just like Keffals and Ralph in that he is incapable of empathy and only sees things like friendship if it is financially expedient to him. It looks like we got another Just Some Guy situation where Mauler hates his old audience and wants a audience of progressive Zoomers and Redditors. Just one problem, progressive Zoomers and Redditors demand blood loyalty. Mauler is "friends" with people like Gary, Jeremy and Ryan who are Ron DeSantis supporters. As we all know DeSantis is the Anti-Christ of trannies, Redditors and Zoomers. I have a feeling that as the 2024 presidential election gets closer Jay and Mauler's progressive audience will demand that Mauler end his friendship with many in the Fandom Menace and he will because Mauler is a fat grifting flaggot who only cares about himself and the money he gets from his grift.

and i will not have sex with him!

Agree about Wolf. He was one of the few furries that was self aware and made fun of himself a lot for it. Rags on the other hand takes himself way too seriously and it doesn't help that Rags is way more open about his degeneracy than Wolf ever was. When Wolf left you began to see more of the opportunist circle Mauler which he welcomed because the likes of Rags and Jay Wormtongue kissed his ass and Mauler has a massive ego and welcomed it.

Edit: It seems that Mauler's jannies from Discord have begun to raid Synth's comment section. What is interesting is many of Mauler's sycophant's are telling people to not trust the Farms as the Farms is full of racists, harassers, doxxers, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes and Nazi's and that Mauler said that everything we have said, about the allegations about Rags grooming and being inappropriate with minors on Discord and Jay supporting his fellow trannies grooming and pink pilling minors, is a lie. This proves something very important. Something that I have suspected for a long time. That is that Mauler has been actively reading his Kiwi Farms thread and is aware of the allegations against Rags and Jay. Instead of addressing them he is instead trying to cover it up and is trying to have his fans start a war with the Farms. Fucking wow.

also 4chan founded out their discord and made fun of them
everytime ( now there no more synth threads on /v/) a synth thread was made
mauler fanbase would attack like locust only to be made more fun off
its so pathetic.

 

[huecoffs02]

Wait, is it supposed to be fun or important? Which way is it dude?

When did I ever claim it was important?

Nevermind this is all bait, not even engaging any of the arguments.

I think Mauler staying absolutely quiet during political sections of other podcasts will bite him in the ass. Mostly because at some point he will be asked to "stand against hate" and that will fracture the EFAP audience.

 

[Cyber Bowling]

I'm actually surprised Mauler managed to make the shift to the left. A lot of people in his crew framed themselves as being the "anti-SJW" crowd, and in a lot of their work, from Rags especially, there was definitely a lot of moaning about identity policies and the like. I stopped watching so I don't know if this remained the case, but that was a big part of the Batwoman reviews. Again, with the exception of rags, I don't think they were that in your face about it compared to some other YouTubers, but it was definitely a thing. Now, they're pearl clutching and getting up in arms about someone saying fag, something Mauler himself didn't seem to mind in the past, and unless I'm mistaken, "new" Mauler hasn't apologized or said what he did was wrong and try to walk it back. Granted, that's more an example of him being a hypocrite.

But generally, when you make a big shift like that, you tend to lose your audience. Obviously that's happened to at least a small extent given the posts in the thread, but it doesn't seem like he lost nearly as many fans as I'd expect. I'm curious to see if the pearl clutching consists, or if they go back to normal the next time they're reviewing something that's more woke.

 

[Danone]

Then again, your position on this makes it moot to discuss anything at all because you'd only have a binary option of "reached its objectives" or not.

Again, you are being retarded to say this because then there is no point at ever discussing any art because it already fulfilled its purpose after you take your attention off of it, or it ends.

You really should pay attention to what you write

This was pretty funny, ngl.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

I'm pretty intrigued how Mauler managed to shill for GoWR, which I sperged on about how it's total shit in its thread, despite it being very comparable to TLJ in almost every way it's bad. Too bad finding info on it in his streams will probably be incredibly time consuming and disjointed.

Where in there did I say it was important? I'm genuinely curious about it because something having a point =/= important. Or is it because I said "art"?

On the Glass Onion thing, I love how RJ's is actually doing "no I was just pretending to be retarded" and people are falling over themselves to say it was supposed to be dumb because the movie said so.

The BRabbit strat of calling yourself out's gotta stop.

Cause he likes it and then walks backwards to find justifications to like it. There is stuff to like in GOWR but to treat it as a masterpiece is really retarded.

There isn't though, it's objectively a bad game with a gameplay that is constantly withheld from the player, and is itself a derivative of far better games.

What's your take on GOW 2018?

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

What's your take on GOW 2018?

It's better story wise for having a more down to earth father son journey, without the need to ripoff Marvel Avengers, and not showing their hand regarding the big Norse gods.
Gameplay wise you actually get to play more consistently and it's overall fun, albeit repetitive with only two weapons. The whole gear leveling mechanic is incredibly retarded and doesn't make sense when you have Kratos going from one on one with the Norse gods, and then be unable to kill a spooky skeleton because his wrist guard isn't shiny enough.

Since the thread is as much discussing random review stuff as it is Mauler, I just wanted to touch on this particular point because I think it summarizes why I like reviewers that aren't so obsessed with following their made up rules of objectivity.

A good reviewer can explain why they believe something is good or bad based on a number of different factors. They can also look at what does/doesn't make something work with a piece of media. I think it's interesting to hear why someone enjoys something without having to just spew a bunch of bullshit to stick to some made up reviewer creed.

I really know nothing about GOWR, but someone mentioned that it shared elements with TLJ. I would legitimately be interested to hear why those elements worked in GOWR versus why they failed in TLJ. And I think that's something a more legitimate reviewer could do without coming off like a total hypocrite.

To give a more broader comparison, I think everyone has a show that they know is arguably pretty bad, but for their own little reasons they really enjoy. I think it's those elements that are the interesting to hear about from YouTube style reviewers. Not to say that YouTube can't be a place for more thoughtful and insightful reviews, but I feel like if you really want something like that, you're better off talking to someone with expertise in the area. YouTube generally isn't a place where I go if I want deep insight or expertise on a subject.

And I'll give some credit to Mauler, I think at times the Efap crew inadvertently talked about some of the things they liked/disliked outside of their "objectively good/bad writing" nonsense. And, it was mildly interesting. Certainly more interesting than the extremely lukewarm take of "maybe latest superhero movie is stale and repetitive."

 

[PaladinBoo]

It's funny to me how Mauler's trajectory is similar to that of Ethan Ralph. Like Ralph Mauler coasted on the one success he had. With Ralph it was the Mundane Matt stream and with Mauler it was his TLJ review. Also like Ralph Mauler has become a overbearing bully. Using his platform to bully and harass others with the backing of (I wouldn't say friends) his sycophants (who are also insecure, thin skinned bullies) and the Fandom Menace community. It is starting to get to the point where I expect Mauler to say; "I'm an internet celebrity bitch!" Like Ralph.
Not to rip off Null but, like with Ralph, it maybe time to sacrifice Mauler to the corn. He has become too comfortable and too much of a overbearing bully to where he is going to make an enemy out of people who are going to make it their life's mission to fuck with him like with Ralph.

I don't think he would ever that brash about it. He is more like a mini-Sargon or Mundane Matt who both got an inflated ego for being YouTube intellectuals and just like them he will most likely blow up by being an absolute retard.

I say he has the worst traits of both Sargon and Ralph. From Sargon Mauler has the smug pseudointellectualism and from Ralph Mauler has the thin skinned vindictiveness. As to him blowing up like a absolute retard, it's a matter of when then if at this point.

 

[Kars den Karb]

With all this talk about Mauler's style, I wanted to put in my 2c about why Synth is currently one of my must-watch youtubers. To restate TheAlmightyLoli's take more politely, he doesn't have a deep conceptual grasp of certain subjects, but his self-awareness and near-total lack of pretension make up for that. His strong point is a fairly large mental library of gaming tropes that allows him to make all his videos unscripted. The other big thing is that his objective is simply to find and promote good games. But wouldn't that describe most youtube reviewers? Absolutely not - their primary goal is to grow their audience, and at a certain level of fame, that often metamorphoses into ego trips. Sometimes 11 hours long.

There are gaming channels that are much better-produced and better-sourced, but in a typical 20-40 minute video a significant part of the runtime will be eaten up with unfunny jokes and trite positivity designed to appeal to bandwagoners and cultivate parasocial bonds with loser nerds, as well as boilerplate like "this is just my personal opinion guys I'm not saying this is a fact" in an attempt to prevent said bandwagoners and losers from tearing each other to shreds in the comments. The longer I watch youtube, the less I can stand this seemingly near-mandatory fakeness and sociopolitical cushioning.

So yeah, give me a dude that just blurts out what he does and doesn't enjoy with some level of fluency in the subject matter, no matter how many people don't like it or are tired of facing up the reality that most AAA games are mediocrities. I don't need him to affect intellectualism or agree with me 100% of the time (his Doom Eternal review is not great lol), I just want an honest, halfway reasonable opinion that digs into the details of the game.

Same, I am quite liking Synth's content despite not being someone who is his target audience. You can tell that he is a man who really loves video games. Playing all sorts of games in order to see if he will like it or not. He doesn't care if he offends people or not, he just states what he likes and dislikes about a game he played and will torture himself playing a game to see what he likes and dislikes about the game. He is also not afraid to call out the political agenda and politics of many modern games even if he liked the game or not. In a sea of mandatory fakeness and sociopolitical cushioning as well as many content creators lacking self awareness, Synth is kind of a breathe of fresh air. He, as well as Oney, are one of the few people I watch livestream.
Contrast this to Mauler. Mauler claims to be a fan of pop culture stuff like Game of Thrones and The Witcher yet he never read the books and even complained to Drinker about being forced to watch Blood Origin. This is funny to me as Mauler likes to act like he is an authority on these topics. While Mauler in the past didn't care who he offended but now, ever since Jay joined the show, he acts like a man walking around broken glass. He is terrified of offending people on both sides. He refuses to say anything political or offensive on both EFap and the streams he does with Gary, Az, and Drinker. Unless he has back up in which case he and his band of degenerates will dogpile on a person. This goes to show that Synth, despite all his faults, is honest, self aware and doesn't pretend to be someone he is not while Mauler is a two faced coward who tries to play both sides in order to grift from said both sides.

 

[Hankus McSix]

I'm actually surprised Mauler managed to make the shift to the left. A lot of people in his crew framed themselves as being the "anti-SJW" crowd, and in a lot of their work, from Rags especially, there was definitely a lot of moaning about identity policies and the like.

Rags is a self admtited Republican, gun nut from Arkansas. He was and I'd still say is pretty conservative and doing the things the more PC members of the audience would disagree with like saying "retard" or God forbid the dreaded "faggot". Mauler really desperately tries to protray himself as apolitical whilst Fringy I think is jsut too autistic for politics.

I honestly don't think Mauler did shift to the left it's more like, he's been able to play both sides without getting into trouble for it yet. He's still friends with Az and Nerdrotic, eh still regularly goes on their streams. And I think in his coverage of Rings of Power his anti-pc opinions came out a bit more.

I legit think he just bent his morals and opinions for the Synth stream to get back on a guy that somehow really got on his nerves. It's even more pathetic that way

 

[Elescondido]

I do remember in one of Mauler's streams he did admit that he was a progressive. And I think Mauler is using Jay just as much as Jay is using him. Mauler is using Jay to attract SJW and the progressives to be a bigger part of his audience, I don't believe that Mauler really cares about Jay. If he truly did then he wouldn't be encouraging Jay's delusions, a delusion that can lead to him making destructive life-altering irreversible decisions, if he did care he would try to make him snap out of it, and if that doesn't work he would've broken all contact with him as he shouldn't want to have any part in fueling his mental illness. Mauler associates with Jay probably only for his own self-image in trying to portray himself as tolerant and progressive on the surface, just like all the other enablers on his podcast.

Check out 5:04:20 from EFAP's New Year's Eve stream and how quickly they dogpile and put Doomer in an uncomfortable situation for saying something that Mauler and his sycophants disagree with.

I totally disagree with that , sure Jay may have had some use for mauler at the beggining but at this point mauler is just a burden to his potential succeszs you could see that during the hassan saga in which hassan survived because a lot of people just saw it as a political attack from the anti-sjw community only because of Efap's asociation with people like E;R or Sargon.

It's like the efap baggage invalidates the trans shield.

I also have no clue what does Mauler gain by having jay lol, it's safe to assume efap's audience aint exactly pro trans and anyone who is pro trans wouldnt watch because of the anti-sjw affiliation

I think Mauler associates with Jay to have him as a shield against criticism that might be put forth against him by SJWs. He can just point to Jay and say ''see! I am not anti-progressive, I literally have a tranny as a friend that I have done many shows with!''. It reminds me of EFAP #69 that he did on Jenny Nicholson, which was done after the big backlash Mauler and his crew received on their first EFAP on Jenny. On EFAP #69, Mauler invited 3 females, to, once again, take down Jenny's 'bad takes' but this time, he had 3 females as backup, and why? Because he could use them as a shield against anyone who would call him a 'woman hater' as they did with the first EFAP Mauler did on Jenny. Mauler hates any form of criticism against him and will do whatever he can to minimize it, which is why he wants to play ALL sides it seems, the guy has no principles that he sticks to which is why he has shown over and over again to be a major hypocrite because a man with no principles is a man that has no consistency as they will continuously flip-flop.

Another thing I would like to point out about Mauler's character which I am sure has already been pointed out in this thread is his major lack of any sense of responsibility and appreciation for his supporters. He has 371 Patrons on his Patreon account and these are people who decided to give him money to support his main channel with the expectation that he will continue to work on putting out content on it. Not only has he not updated his Patreon account since 2019 (!) but he hasn't put out any content now in 4 months on his main channel! I know his go-to excuse is to say that his videos are so long they take a lot of work and time, but there's no way in hell it takes 4 months to create the videos in the format he has put out previously. For any man with any work ethic, just one month would be more than enough, especially with someone whose whole life seems to revolve around Youtube with no other outside responsibilities.

But then you realize that the reason why it's taking so long for him to make these videos is not that they require a lot of work and time, but because, he rather just sit on his lazy ass, attend numerous podcasts and watch the money flow in while making little to zero effort, just the way his fatass likes it. Not only that, he streams playing video games and takes the time to go through 20+ hours of Synthetic Man's GOW stream just to do a 4-hour edited hit piece on him because Synthetic Man dared to mention his name in a negative context and his fragile ego just couldn't let go of that. All the while he has people PAYING HIM to make videos on his main channel, and he's doing all this right in their faces, feeling no shame, he does not even bother to update his patrons on his next upcoming video, that's how little regards and appreciation he has for the people supporting him.
