Lord Frogmire Appreciation Thread - The Better Brother (Formerly Known as Synthetic Man Appreciation Thread) - Might have an account here

Do you really want to hear him to have the same forced, psuedo-intellectual delivery as everyone else these days? The contents of what you say stand out from delivery or at least they should. Giving so much credence to delivery itself opens you up to manipulation.

I didn't say he had to be like everyone else (in fact that would be worse). I said he could change the method he uses when presenting a point that he's trying to make. For example in the TOTK review change the delivery of the conspiracies section so it sounds less autistic. I agree that he might be onto something with that comment about the satanic imagery and elites, but to a neutral viewer this would automatically turn them off immediately. There are ways of getting the viewer to make connections without going full schizo right off the bat.

You attract more flies with honey than vinegar by laughing at exceptional behavior rather than being exceptional.

Playing everything off as a joke will go against the point of even addressing it. The issue isn't getting channel critiques at all. If anything, it gives Calub or Calum or whatever more exposure. He was probably going to get the same treatment regardless if people on twitter didn't get their panties in a twist. Mauler and Vaush (I can't believe he got the pedo-man himself on his ass) already make giant fools out of themselves as is.

I agree that not everything has to be a joke, but also not everything has to be read in the same monotone doomer voice. There are ways of presenting a topic other than deadpan cynicism. The Twitter people will always be mad at him regardless, but at least it doesn't give them as much ammunition if the person they're clipping is more likable than the person reacting to it.

His review of the original Resident Evil 4 was good. I can tell he's really passionate about that game and it shows. I don't know why I have to reiterate this, but I don't hate him. I just think he's going down a bad path if he wants to make response videos to stupid e-drama and get into internet fights with twitter retards. I've seen many lolcows fall down the same rabbit hole who used to be likable creators, but they let the e-drama get to them and have become consumed by it.

I like him and share many of his opinions, but I think someone described my feelings best when calling him a "charisma vacuum". His opinions aren't the issue, but just the way he delivers them comes off as being so fumbled. He doesn't present them in a way that's smooth, witty or clever but just hamfisted where it sounds like an angry tangent.

I get where he's coming from being jaded about the state of the world and that's just a result of him being a guy that just says what he feels with no filter. But the downside of that is it only attracts other retards from the other side of the political aisle who just want to fight you for attention. And that can turn into a dangerous loop where when you engage with slapfights it only pulls you in deeper into drama.

That's exactly what I meant when I was talking about his ToTK schizo rant. He is essentailly making himself a ripe target for people like vaush or mauler with the way he presents his opinions, regardless of their actual context, and that's why I think he has a bit of a lolcow feel to him.

This schizo rant stuff is the kind of thing that really sells on YouTube. Sure, you got some informative long-form essays out there with their own audience, but Synth isn't an intellectual by any means. I'm not saying he's stupid, but he has admitted that he doesn't read books. The lack of professionalism in his videos is due his need to stay relevant within the algorithm. He says it's much more efficient to just take a few notes and go off the cuff. That's the kind of content Zoomers crave since attention spans are in short supply (no pun intended).

If you think about it, there's really no way you can stay ahead of the curve by consuming "current thing" arriving at some in-depth analysis and writing an essay within a span of a week before "current thing" is replace by "new thing."

True, his chat and I myself have noted this essentially makes him a slave to recency bias and forced to constantly chase "new thing" as propagated by the mainstream. But if he switches gears I believe he fears his only source of income with be depleted. In hindsight, I'm surprised he hasn't posted more Shorts on his channel since most of his videos are just a series of takes. He could chop up bits of his other videos into 58-second segments and that might give his channel a higher degree of visibility.

And his Sigma Male Heimdall short is still his most watched thing.

Seems like a insufferable faggot to me but hey, if all you want is a shitty bait/console war/contrarianism thread on /v/ but in video form then I suppose he's as good as anyone else.

Forcing oneself to look in the mirror, one will inevitably conclude that one is also an insufferable faggot. Maybe not a faggot, but even so I think there's a point to which a person becomes famous enough that the uglier details we prefer to keep hidden start to leak out and everyone concludes one is an asshole. If you believe yourself above it, you're most likely wrong and will be proven wrong in the event you're ever put in the limelight. Everyone likes to think they're a good person until you're given the opportunity to prove it and everyone is watching you. All too often, we screw it up.

This is why it just feels right to support Synth. Because where everyone is bending the knee, he's not and he legitimately doesn't care what others think and believe. That must count for something in current times we live in.

I see myself in Synth. One way or another, some of his struggles are my own. A lot of folks on social have willingly sold their souls to Moloch, but Synth hasn't. It's interesting to me that he says he doesn't believe in God because why else would he subjugate himself to the blatant and ongoing persecution? Not sure if it was how he was raised or what, but what's for sure is he isn't a fence-sitter. That's utterly respectable.

Synthetic Chap is the "Angry" reviewer who refuses to abandon his 00s liberal politics & edgier beliefs and eat the proggie bugs and soy.
16 years ago he would've gotten a gig at TGWTG and been friends with most of them.

The only thing makes him special is that he won't comply to the "message". He's still rebelling against the cultural Man where the rest have settled down and complied now that their side is the Man.

This never made sense to me. The Master ran his army of mutants similar to how Caesar runs his legion. They are tools and utilities for them to achieve their goals and expand their influence. They act as one and serve a cause greater than themselves led by a being they consider a demigod.

Sure, The Master thinks his plan is for the greater good as opposed to Caesar who's mostly powered by narcissism, but then again can you believe a mutated insane blob of flesh is mentally/ethically adept?

Secondly, the NCR are at war and nearly extinguished his best friend's tribe/faction. While the BoS are no friends of mutants the NCR aren't particularly matey with them either, and it's far easier to believe that Jacob can believe the BoS can be converted to accept mutants given his empiric evidence as opposed to the complete lack of NCR-allied friends (unless your courier is an aspiring NCR citizen).
So why Marcus is all "The NCR are decent folk, but that Caesar guy is the worst"? His sympathies, if he should have any, should lay with the Legion.

It's amazing how much this dude's small channel triggers people, and not just lefties. The middle of the road culture warriors (and their fans) probably hate him more than commies do. He's gotta be doing something right.

I've heard him say this, a lot, and it could be that I don't fully understand everything that being shadowbanned entails but I don't see how he is. I found his channel from my recommendations, he's got over 100k subs with seemingly net positive growth each month, and if he was thrown into the closet to be forgotten I don't see how he would be able to get so many people riled up so often.

Vaush was largely responsible for promoting his content on Twitter. His channel's presence is largely being inflated by the Authoritarian Leftist on social media, be it Twitter, Reddit, or YouTube. They hate him because he's anti-woke and he calls it like it is as far as the promotion of woke politics in video games or other media.

As for his being shadowbanned, the reasons he gives are analytics. He watches his analytics and he knows that ever since the whole fiasco with Mauler and EFAP, his views have made a marked decrease. This means whomever is at the helm of YouTuve is specifically tweaking thing so his channel is not as visible as it could be given the regular slough of algorithm marks (subs, likes, comments, etc.)

YouTube does this all the time by the way. From whether or not a channel continues to show up in your notifications and you just forget about it to just not seeing it pop up in your recommend. Most of what you see on YouTube is content that YouTube wants you to see. If they could get away with it, they'd mass purge everyone who any modicum of individuality or lack of group-think. Of course they won't because that would make their intentions too obvious.
