"Zero Punctuation" and "Dev Diary" by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw - The only thing worth watching on The Escapist

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Yahtzee is totally an ally guys, he loves the trans and hates that evil JK Rowling cunt TERF, please don't say mean things about him online. Fucking limp wristed bitch, the day you have to qualify your "totally real" opinions by spending 1/6 of the review talking about bullshit is the day you need to hang up the writers pen.

James Stephanie Steeeerling already made clear that he is nooooo ally!

Incredibly faggy start, I'm so fucking tired at people screaming "cunt terf" about Rowling while completely ignoring her actual room temperature takes. I'll keep just accepting how she is a redpill factory at showing how wretched these faggots are if you aren't 100% in lockstep.

The second half of the video is proper takes with solid points, but the mea culpa fest at the start sours the whole thing. Lets see of he gets half the shit the internet thots got and how he enjoys it.
 
I am disappoint.

Is it just me or has he been kinder about domestic abusers and sex pests mentioned in past episodes than he was about JKR today?

ETA one angry fem.

Him and most reviewers, feels like most of the time they just roll their eyes and act annoyed while casually brushing it off like “even ignoring so-and-so’s recent *unfortunate* comments about minors, the game is pretty shit”
The first paragraph of the transcript:

Good God Almighty, just punch a hole in your bedroom wall. Hopefully he'll actually get some blowback for this ice cold take weeks after the game's been released and generally well liked, at a point in time where even normies are seeing trannies for the horrendous creeps they are.
Seeing the pushback on most reviews and in places like the Babish video comments gives me hope he’ll be getting shit for it, and that the troons won’t back him up because he still played the game.
 
The beginning as well where he's pretending to be on the phone with his editor, like the Escapist is having to rein in Yahtzee's sheer hatred of JKR. The whole thing just really rubbed me the wrong way. Not only is he really toeing the line but he's the biggest TERF hater ever, so much so that the Escapist is embarrassed by his TERF hating antics.

Is he being honest? What a tranny-cock sucking cuck.
Is he afraid of rocking the tranny boat? Pussy. He's Yahtzee ffs. Not very cancellable.
Is he afraid of rocking the Escapist boat? He IS the boat. The Escapist need him.

Either way I can't respect him. I don't care if he hates the game. I do care if his integrity has gone to shit.

My soggy knees everywhere!
If it was that's even worse. I'd prefer a bad opinion to a fake one.
He lives in fucking California, of course he sucks the tranny dick.

Do share where his teeeerf obsession has gotten him any sort of flak. I hope JAAAMES STEPHANIEEE STEEEERLING engages with yatzhee in the public clown carp, maybe he can scream betrayal a few times amd Spoony joins in for no apparent reason.
 
Wow, this might be the most bitter I've seen Yahtzee yet. I think the last time I saw him this angry was around the era he coined "spunkgargleweewee" in response to commenters asking him if he didn't enjoy shooters.
I mean, this isn't a big surprise if you've been paying attention to his very telegraphed political leanings.
The difference is that he usually tried to wrap it in a joke whenever he was sounding off.
Seems you can't even risk a comedic pretense when instant death is on the line.
Even still, it's a shame. He seems like he should know better but then I have flashbacks to various spotted "let's drown out" moments and remember who I'm actually talking about.

his last book featured a genderspecial so he's been drinking the troonshine for a while now.
You can tell that his favorite game's Silent Hill 2 what with all the subtle foreshadowing he does. Subtle because who actually reads Yahtzee's books?
Still, I'm surprised that that slipped by unnoticed until now.
 
In case any of you ever start a video game review YouTube thing, here is how you deal with something you don't want to, simply don't. It's really that simple. Making a statement based on "popular" opinion is retarded because the consensus may change an you'll either be stuck with your comments or have to walk them back. And that's assuming that the opinion is even popular to begin with. Just because everyone around you thinks one way doesn't mean everyone will and you might find yourself with a backlash even if you did the "right" thing.

Well what if I want to talk about "current drama", what if I just have to make my opinion known? Nigga this is a business, the viewers are you customers, even if you don't like them or what they think. Stay in your fucking lane and review the video game, throw in a cheeky dog whistle if you have to but at least blend it into the video.

But muh journalistic integrity. Fuck off, you are a dancing monkey at best and people don't like being talked down to by some sack of shit who plays with children's toys for a living.

I'm sure he made a joke years ago like "How do people with integrity make a living?" But I'm not trawling through hundreds of videos to find it, sorry.

He never had integrity to begin with, is what I'm saying.

So it literally seems like nearly all of the "old guard" of popular internet shit are pussies.

My question is after viewing other threads on this forum, is being in front of the camera so to speak attracts a specific kind of individual like this. Or was it simply (now this could be some conspiracy theory bullshit, as we see YouTube and others ask for your demo, like if your a troon or not) that these types were chosen to be pushed from the start.

Like while he certainly had a niche and some skill, I'm just sitting here unsurprised that he is a faggot. Like did he become one over time or did he get where he was at, as skilled as he is because he was a marketable faggot?
 
Hogwarts Legacy review is up.

I gave up watching it. The first minute was just him seething about JK Rowling instead of reviewing the game, and even when he started reviewing the game proper he was still seething about how other authors came up with the concept of a wizard school first.

If he hates JK Rowling that much then just boycott the game like the unhinged trannies.
But...but...there were hundreds of hamburger sellers before McDonald's!

The mere fact that a genre / concept existed before someone made it extraordinarily popular does not diminish that said fact. Obviously there were things lacking in those properties/ concepts that kept it to niche groups.

Get fucked.

Call me a Yatheez white knight faggot, but I am unsure if he wrote or was told by the Espacist to put it in.
On multiple older videos, he does state that BTS does not matter in reviewing the game.
Make fun shit that happens, like the "boycotts".
As kiwis pointed out, when the Espcaist did their Trans lifeline stream, he did not want to be there.
Like with other games, if he did not want to review, he sent to catch up year and do a quick review. (Instead of doing an indie game or gaming history)
I guess this is what happens when you are a cash cow of a failing company.

Just gonna go ahead and archive this in case something weird happens.

I always think of Doug Walker and the #ChangeTheChannel drama: just do nothing at all about it. The storm passes as the short attention-span of the internet switches to something else, and/or the people stirring up the drama implode in on themselves and, sometimes, get eaten by their own once they slip up while having so many eyes on them. If your whole business is drama, sure, dive right in, but if you're just concerned with making videos on whatever consumer good you fancy, just ignore anyone who bitches and whines at you about Current Issue.

This just makes it weirder though. Yahtzee owns them, not the other way around.
Should he choose to leave them: he could have his pick of the litter. He's very well known - as opposed to the brand he works for. He doesn't even need to go to another outlet, he's already pulling in all the money for The Escapist's Patreon. It would be trivial for him to set up his own.
What else do The Escapist have? Jim Stirling? Maybe rehire MovieBob? See if Extra Credits will come back?
They're fucked.
