Anthony Fantano / TheNeedleDrop - "The Internet's Busiest Music Nerd"™, heelturned since 2017, slowly becoming smug SJW, threw Sam Hyde under the bus

It's from the musician Charli XCX, who generally makes hyperpop music (a genre that mostly appeals to young girls/women, gays and troons.) Her fan base has a lot of people in it who you'd see posting things online such as "OMG MOTHER IS HERE THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING SHE CAME SHE ATE SHE DEVOURED SKSKSKSKHHNHNGHFGDSGSD SUCH A VIBE I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS ERA" type of brain dead shit.

Charli's a safe artist for a white man to heap praise on since she's half-Indian, is a woman, is really big into pro-troon stuff, and is otherwise very liberal. Obviously for all of the aforementioned reasons, criticizing her music would get you flak for being a straight white man. I don't believe that Fantano loves half of the shit that he claims to, he just knows what he's supposed to support and what's he's not supposed to.
So basically the same pedophilia shit he DMs to his minors on Discord. Got it.
 

This review has caused some of the biggest pushback against Fantano that I've seen. I haven't watched it (and won't) but his fans are upset he said that Halsey has "main character syndrome" because she sings a lot about having had cancer on the album. Is this true? Don't know. But it has stirred up some drama.

At this point, he’s going to alienate his own fan base.

Rare Fantano W, Halsey should stay in 2016 where she belongs
 
Good, this is what he deserves for riding this faggot ass poptimist train and curating his awful fanbase that will never let him live this down even if its a demonstrably shit album. A milder form of this happened earlier with Chappel Roan where he decided to change his opinion conveniently after she blew up and took back his earlier review where he said found her stuff extremely mid and uninspired. Hes a not serious critic.

Regardless of the music, saying this is main character syndrome is a borderline retarded take.

Fantano seems like the kind of guy that would go into a roid rage at le chuds on the internet and beat his wife but doesn't because he's afraid his fans will call him a misogynist. He's such a performative, fake carboard cutout of a human being.
The guy seems to have almost zero empathy or human emotion (or personality) whatsoever except when he's trying to get soyboy internet asspats by calling people racist for saying modern nigrap is gay or getting into slapfights with boomer evangelicals on xitter because Muhammed Wahalligoatfuckedmyassallah got blown up by a kike bomb last week thus christians globally have zero problems and should never complain about anything ever.

Is it just a midlife crisis or is dude genuinely wired wrong? I don't get it.

It is so incredibly satisfying to see Fantano's new woke audience turning on him for the slightest step out of line. Exact same thing that happened with Ethan Klein once you start pandering to a progressive audience you have to live up to their insane standards.

Its been interesting to watch him rag on establishment music critics for being out of touch and their bad takes. He now IS the establishment and is just as out of touch.

It also seems like he's gotten much lazier intellectually as time passes. I listened to one of Abigail's reviews to get a sense of who she was and my first thought was she clearly listened to the album at least a dozen times recently before talking about it. I definitely don't get that sense with Anthony.
 
I saw this in my recommends even though I do not watch Fantano

She called him out for being ignorant about the context about the album and he want too far in being mean about the main character syndrome while no realizing to her son.
Same. He responded to that race hustler FD Signifier about him completely missing the point of all this.

I love it when the left fucks its own up. I just love it. It’s just so hostile to be around them and so entertaining watching them implode.
 
Fantano is a grown ass man with the mindset of a goddam teenage girl on her period who uses Tumblr way too fuckin much, and their political understanding is "right bad left good".

What Fantano is doing here is taking Libertarians a fringe and frankly retarded group of people on the right and pretending they represent average conservatives which is simply incorrect.
