Yeah the weeb bashing does start to be a little much. It's better to put your money where your mouth is and simply show the better stuff, instead of constantly whining.
The thing is, the stuff he does like runs counter to the standards he set up. He's not supposed to like plagiarism, but he likes Daredevil and other capeshit stuff that's basically plagiarism central. He's not supposed to like "spiritually caustic" things, yet he simps for BG3, which has degeneracy up the ass. He blasts the Witcher for taking the "White Wolf" moniker from Elric, when Elric took that from French literature. He's supposed to be a small-government, anti-authoritarian champion, yet the president which he worships like a golden calf is literally trying to rule from the White House with executive orders, like a king passing edicts, instead of proposing and passing laws through Congress.

Dude just has no sense of objectivity.

As for his tastes in games, he's far from the only one who's shit on FF13, and I honestly don't blame him for it. First playthrough was fun enough, but second playthrough I got tired pretty quickly. Lightning Returns was all right, though. For Metal Gear Rising, I gotta play through that one. I've heard Ninja Gaiden 4 is taking some cues from it (Platinum are helping, after all).
I only played FF13 and Lightning Returns once each, and in both cases, they were fun. The way I see it, FF13 wasn't made for repeat playthroughs given how long it is; it's not like KOTOR where you can just plop down and speedrun the game once you know where to look, what to say, and who to kill.

His selective outrage is really weird, though. He wants to draw some moral line in the sand regarding KCD2, meanwhile Baldur's Gate 3 has far more degenerate shit, like bear sex. He was fine with pronouns in BattleTech as well, since the game was fun. At first, I thought that was cool that he could look past wokeness, provided a game was still good. Now, you never really know with the guy.
It's basically his personal tastes. Anything that smells of weeb, he hates, unless it's something like Breath of Fire. Anything that's woke gets banhammered unless it's a good DnD-RPG game, then he's OK with it. Woke authors like Alan Moore are haram, but Michael Moorcock, whose wokeness makes Alan Moore look like a conservative, is OK, because the dude wrote the Elric Saga which Razorfist likes. Big-government triggers him, unless it's Trump doing it, then it's based, in his opinion.

All his standards are fake, and it's all just cover for his personal tastes. Him accusing Witcher of plagiarism is one such episode; especially when the things he says Witcher stole from Elric, some of them predated Elric, like the whole "White Wolf" thing, or a magic Mcguffin like Stormbringer or Cirilla.

Everybody has some inconsistencies in their opinions, but as many have pointed out, it's all about how you handle it. You can own up to it and say you make some exceptions, or you be like Razorfist and perform mental gymnastics to cover it up, throwing out ad homs for good measure.
That's the problem. Razor could easily say that all his criticisms are subjective and let bygones be bygones, but he's too proud to do that, and he likes to shame others for their tastes too much. Razor will attack you for partaking in "spiritually caustic" shit if you wanted to play some pleb Korean video game with jiggling ass and tits, but Baldur's Gate 3 having homosexual sex and beastiality is A-OK. If this is the face of the new Christian Right, then I'm beginning to miss the Inquisition. Especially since the Christian Right of the 80s-today that Razorfist wants to marry his little commercial empire with can't stop trying to regulate what people do for fun, whereas the Inquisitors consistently ignored people until someone openly committed blasphemy against Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church. Steer clear of those topics and don't offend them, and you can do whatever the fuck you want. Be it banging a whole line of whores or jousting in potentially lethal tournaments. Both of which are techincally spiritually caustic, but not heresy.

It's just like when he got BTFO'd in Daggerfall, despite saying it was his favorite Elder Scrolls game. Or when he got lost in Halo Reach, a game that's so straightforward that it has objective markers telling you where to go and whose melon to pop.
OK I have to see this so I'll be searching the thread.

How tf do you get lost in Reach? I've never played an ES game so can't comment on that. Does Sebastian Gorka still suck this guys dick? I love that arc cuz its an internet boomer thinking he's being cutting edge by finding this totally cool and smart cultural critic loool

Even the Christian Right will tell him to fuck off since he's just a dick-rider for whatever fancies him at the moment. Telling people he's "Christian" while still wearing Death Metal shit is just him begging people that "I'm on your side gaiz, please accept me in your group." "Intellectually caustic" is the correct term for Danny Boy's constant autistic sperging of everything Asian. Dude seethes so much against anything Asian that he'd rather embrace Western gay shit than read a manga.
 
In terms of Asiatic media, what's gotten cringier is his occasional, insincere attempts at trying to act all chummy with weebs as of late, usually championing the same handful of entry level anime he's seen or whatever he saw when he was a child (Ronin Warriors aka We Have Saint Seiya at Home). In the process he shows how little knows of the medium (like how Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is a "collab between Japanese and Western animators", when it was all animated in Japan and just had Americans funding it) and how little he's actually seen, at least in the sense of being looked at as any sort of authority on the subject.

It would almost be preferable if he just wrote it off wholesale because he genuinely doesn't enjoy anime instead of sneakily backpedaling on the matter as anime/manga is as globally mainstream as its ever been, especially in the wake of how unapproachable Western escapist media has become. Bet he feels pretty stupid for being one of those dullards who got all giddy at Japan's market withering during the 7th console gen when normies swapped out their PS2s for Xbox 360s and 'murica was going to call the shots on vidya (but this is Razor, so of course he doesn't).

Oh I gotta see this.

I was always kinda annoyed at his takes on the PS2. He always dismissed the sheer variety of games it had, from 3D platformers, to RPGs, to horror, to action adventure. Of course NOW the PlayStation's exclusive library is littered with pseudo-games with a 20:1 slow walking section to gameplay ratio. But back in the day, the PlayStation really had it going on. As a Nintendo fan, I would say I even preferred the PS1 to the N64.

It pops up occasionally in his streams, someone will ask him a question about an anime he might enjoy or mention having seen an anime he's already seen, and he'll act like it's some paragon of the medium. That, or how he'll straight up lie about Japan stealing from being influenced by the 1981 Heavy Metal animated movie, as if that one film was what led to anime becoming more "edgy" from the 80s onward (anyone familiar with Go Nagai's works in the 1970s alone knows this is bullshit).
 
How tf do you get lost in Reach?
Beats me. The only puzzle in Reach is how to kill the OP enemies in the higher difficulties, and if you have a plasma weapon and a headshot weapon, you're well on your way to kill about 99% of them.

Even the Christian Right will tell him to fuck off since he's just a dick-rider for whatever fancies him at the moment. Telling people he's "Christian" while still wearing Death Metal shit is just him begging people that "I'm on your side gaiz, please accept me in your group."

I don't think the old Evangelical Christian Right even noticed him yet; they're kind of busy malding at the fact that all the money they used to mooch off USAID got burnt to a crisp by their golden calf. The Catholics are silently seething at the fact that said golden calf is expelling Latino migrants and cutting off charity.

It would almost be preferable if he just wrote it off wholesale because he genuinely doesn't enjoy anime instead of sneakily backpedaling on the matter as anime/manga is as globally mainstream as its ever been, especially in the wake of how unapproachable Western escapist media has become.
You'd think a good capitalist like Razor would celebrate a non-woke industry becoming a global phenomenon, but as we've discussed before, the man is far from consistent.

Bet he feels pretty stupid for being one of those dullards who got all giddy at Japan's market withering during the 7th console gen when normies swapped out their PS2s for Xbox 360s and 'murica was going to call the shots on vidya (but this is Razor, so of course he doesn't).
The 360 was the beginning of the end for gaming's golden age, because gaming went from trying to invent trends to copy-pasting trends because some games became very, very successful. (Halo, Skyrim, Gears) The 360/Wii/PS3 age was still great, but the rot was slowly setting in from all the microtransactions and some shoddy sequels. (Guitar Hero got fucked hard, I heard.......) But the westernization of video gaming which Razor praised the 360 for starting ended with western woke politics infecting gaming, because no shit, western politics would seep into the art, and that includes video games.

I was always kinda annoyed at his takes on the PS2. He always dismissed the sheer variety of games it had, from 3D platformers, to RPGs, to horror, to action adventure.

As a Nintendo fan, I would say I even preferred the PS1 to the N64.
The PS1 and PS2 gave me and my cousins some really good game nights. I'll always remember them with joy. Modern PS consoles are way too focused on graphics-chasing over gameplay quality. Most of the quality gameplay they have are just things that were innovated in the past, slapped with a better coat of paint.

It pops up occasionally in his streams, someone will ask him a question about an anime he might enjoy or mention having seen an anime he's already seen, and he'll act like it's some paragon of the medium.

The man can not let go and cannot just give eastern media the credit it deserves. Which is funny, considering that Bioware credited FF7 with inspiring them to write better RPG stories, so if you enjoyed KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or Jade Empire, you have FF7 to thank, but I doubt Danny-boy would ever admit to that.

I think he just has sort of a hierarchy of hate so to speak. He hates anime because it isn't from the west, but he hates Matt Walsh ten times more. He didn't start selectively defending anime until Walsh had those cringe rants about how it's all satanic filth. I think it was more important to him he have something to disagree with Walsh on than keep wholesale shitting on anime. Generally criticism of anime by nature has to be really shallow, it's almost always followed by "I would never watch that filth." they saw a few clips from terrible series or hentai and just assumed that must be what it's all like.

But it's not all one genre or style so it's patently ignorant to criticize it like that. It's like seeing clips from Pink Flamingoes or Bros or any other gay themed film and just asserting all film is gay and only faggots watch movies. Anime is like any medium. There are good series and bad series. Some espouse very left-wing ideals, some very right-wing ideals. Many because it's Japan and the culture's so different simultaneously espouse both. A lot are very nuanced and strangely realistic. Like there may be a gay or trans character, but they're both portrayed positively and mocked a childish and hideously ugly. Yes, there are some pedo anime series, and of course those are shit, but then there are plenty of others that mock or criticize pedos.

With Raz0r specifically a lot of it feels like he's just retroactively justifying his own decisions or pointlessly hating on things there's no logical reason to. I remember during one stream he got into an argument with Terran because Terran said the 90's was a great decade and Raz0r insisted very aggressively "The 90's was just ripping off the 80's." and refused to hear that anything good came out of the 90's. There was a dead silence where you could tell Terran wanted to argue the point, but knew massa would get angry if he expressed independent thought.

Or the way he is with N64 and XBox, simply because he didn't have one he asserts the PS and PS2 did not have good libraries, and it's like bro how would you know you just actively said you didn't play it. That one kind of personally irks me because I collect video games, and there's a wall in my house that's just endless shelves of games, and around 500 of those games are from PS and PS2, I've always lamented that in the gens since the subsequent consoles rarely had as many releases that interested me. There's *still* around another fifty or so games on those consoles I'd like to own. Every time I hear him shitting on the PS and PS2's library my eyes involuntarily roll towards the direction of the wall with all the games on it. Now while I liked the N64 as a console, for him to pretend that has a better library than either PS console is patently absurd. It's the one console Nintendo deemed didn't have enough games to sell a mini console of.

It just feels like the dude is just making shit up as he goes. The man is not consistent. I mean, if he was consistent, he'd hate capeshit more than anime because it's plagiarism central. He'd hate Michael Moorcock more than Alan Moore because Alan Moore wants to protect the freedom of speech of comic artists, while Moorcock wants to censor books that offend sex-negative feminism. And given his hate of anime, he'd agree with Walsh, but just say that it's just cringe, not evil. Or, if Razor were to go full "we have to unite against the woke" mode, he'd make amends with the weebs and congratulate the anime industry for making it big despite giving the woke the middle finger.

Heck, if I were Razor, I'd love the hell out of the Mobile Suit Gundam series. A series where the fucking capitalists save the day. Literally, it's the innovators and capitalists who save the world from fascism. From Tem Ray developing the Gundam and giving the Federation a fighting chance against the Space Fascists of Zeon, to Anaheim Electronics developing the Zeta Gundam and giving it to AEUG to fight the fascist Titans, it's a series that shows the evils of big government and the benefits of a capitalist system, where the capitalists and the innovators arm the heroes with superior technology and firepower which allows them to defeat the bad guys. Hell, the word "Gundam" is a mix of the words "gun" and "freedom", and given how Razorfist professes to love both, well, it'd be a match made in Heaven if he fell in love with MSG.

Considering that Razor claims to be a Star Wars fan, and the fact that the Gundam is essentially a giant robot Stormtrooper with a Lightsaber and a Force-sensitive Newtype pilot (literally, they called the original Gundam the "white mobile suit" because it was originally fully white, since its original inspiration was the white Stormtrooper armor from Star Wars), he should love the shit out of Gundam, especially given how some of the OVAs set in the Universal Century, from Stardust Memory, 08th MS Team, and War in the Pocket are truly some of anime's best arguments for being a professional art form.

But no, I've never even heard this pasty Japanophobe even mention Gundam. Has anyone here ever heard him mention it?

There was a dead silence where you could tell Terran wanted to argue the point, but knew massa would get angry if he expressed independent thought.
The 90s gave us:
-A shit ton of DnD-style CRPGs.
-Thief: The Dark Project, which Razor regards as one of the best video games of all time.
-The Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire, as well as Tales of the Jedi, the foundational works of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
-The seeds of what would become the DCAU, also known as one of the best versions of the DC mythos.
-Good Marvel cartoons for Spider-Man and the X-Men.
-The golden age of spirte-based video games in the form of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis competing for the fans' love.
-N64, PS1, and Sega Saturn bringing 3D-graphics for video game console home use.
-The RTS boom which included Age of Empires, Star Wars Rebellion/Supremacy, Starcraft, Total War, and Command & Conquer.
-And since Razorfist is a SW Prequel-lover, The Phantom Menace.

Literally, the 90s was one of the best decade for nerds, surpassed only by the 2000s and the early 2010s before the SJWs barged in and stank up the place. Razorfist hating on the 90s goes to show me that his nerd credentials are bullshit.

Or the way he is with N64 and XBox, simply because he didn't have one he asserts the PS and PS2 did not have good libraries, and it's like bro how would you know you just actively said you didn't play it.

Dude just can't admit that Sony was successful in doing what was right during those days. I was, and still am, a Nintendo fan with some shades of Xbox fandom, but even I've got to admit that the PS1 and PS2 had some great games, some of which I personally enjoyed with my friends.

Back when games didn't need micro-transactions and huge Day-1 patches, gaming companies just wanted to make fun and sometimes innovative games for everyone to enjoy. Nowadays - it's either just remakes or reboots, you'll either hear moralfags and fake journalists cry about racism/sexism/Nazism for the millionth time or praise some over-hyped, "progressive" game for adding more niggers/unneeded gay shit and insulting their own customers for disliking their obviously shit product.

The 90's also brought us cool FPS games like Wolfenstein 3D & Doom (and in the late 90's with Quake, Half-Life and to an extent, Unreal) and I'm sure Danny Boy should like this since it's all about killing demons with guns. Sadly, he's a massive faggot who hates the 90's for no reason so he'll refuse to acknowledge it.
 
China fucking HATES DEI/ESG (all serious Commies outside of America and Europe do) and the CCP even accused America of spreading the BIG GAY across Asia, turning future men into effeminate boys
There's something to be said of that which harms your enemies helps you. Whether it's Biden or Trump in office, we're not exactly on the best of terms with China. I do believe China hates wokeness, but I've seen numerous stories citing their relationship with BlackRock. I may be out of my depth with this. I would honestly love nothing more than to be wrong about my suspicions of China.

Blackrock is big enough that they have investments in China. However, as @Battlefield2142EU has shown, China has little tolerance for actual SJW bullshit. That is because the people who occupy government positions in China are the old-school versions of Commies; they fucking hate the "new" Western Commies who are SJW/DEI/ESG types. In the same way JK Rowling fucking hates trannies, and in the same way, Che Guevara stuffed gay people into labor camps. They're the old-guard revolutionaries who see the new revolutionaries as a joke.

A perfect example is what the Chinese call American liberals-"Baizuo", meaning "White Left", a term that usually means someone who pronounces they want to help the poor and the needy, but in the end, it's all a move to make themselves look good.

It's ironic that Razorfist fucking hates Asian media outside of a few exceptions, and that he's willing to slag Asian games for things that he let pass whenever a game from the West does it, all the while he claims to hate SJWs. Asia has a very short fuse when it comes to tolerating SJW bullshit; a lot of the leftist crap that Razor condemns here in the West would never fly in say, Japan, China, Korea, or Taiwan. Let alone the more rugged Asian nations like the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, or India.

Will Danny support JD Vance, or will he shit on him Ron DeSantis style for not being Trump? Mind you, even Danny's demon-worshipping friend admits JD Vance is a smarter and better speaker than Donald Trump.

Depends. If Trump vouches for him, Danny-boy might support him. If Trump splits with him, Danny-boy will slag him like DeSantis.

You have to realize, people like Razorfist sold their souls to the party line years ago. The last time I saw him criticize Trump was before the 2020s. Now, not so much.

He's like MovieBob, he's just upset that he backed the wrong horse during the console wars and doesn't want to admit he asked mom and dad for the wrong console. Simple as.
