Razörfist / The Rageoholic / xRazorfistx / Daniel Paul Harris - Hipster Metalfag. Game Journo-Doesn't Play Games He Reviews. Thief Fanfic Author. COOMER AND GROOMER.
Damn you know that Danny is seething here and I mean seething, completely in denial that Fuentes is living rent-free in his head. To cope, he keeps making the same three unfunny, overdone Fuentes jokes. Repeating the same joke over and over isn’t comedic; it shows a lack of creativity—it’s just sad, almost as sad as constantly having Fuentes on your mind because he cucked you.
I don't mean to seem like too much of a pedant... but this dude thinks of himself as a writer.
Set aside the joke that he took from someone else. Ignore the tepid tag that he added to it.
You have to use "any more" here. "Anymore" is used only to when you're judging whether or not something is recurring or continuing.
What is it with right-wing people like Razorfist and Nick Fuentes putting people down for their nerd hobbies? Fuentes makes fun of Danny-boy for the Star Wars and TMNT merch in his room, and Danny-boy makes fun of weebs for eating pocky and ramen. It's like they made being a nerd or having a hobby a cause for making someone an outcast. But the funny thing is, as previously mentioned, Nick Fuentes has SW Lego sets in his place, and we see Razorfist having TMNT and SW merch in his room, so in both cases, both men are throwing stones from their glass houses.
I can understand the nerd hate coming from someone who doesn't give a shit about nerd hobbies, but both Nick Fuentes and DP Harris are nerds who consoom. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised with the latter, considering that Danny-boy is a simp who puts people down for being gooners.

And it's especially hypocritical for Nick cuz every other word out of his mouth is an unneeded pop culture reference. Like comparing himself and the Groypers to the Rebel Alliance or "It's just like in Avengers Endgame where everybody came out of the portals together!" It isn't needed, dude.

Exactly. That just shows the audience that Nick is the same kind of dweeb that he accuses Razor of being. Both of them are. Razor slags weebs for being weebs, Fuentes slags Razor for being a nerd despite being a nerd himself. They do it to look cool, when all it does is show that they delight in throwing stones from a glass house.
But then again, this forum is about a guy who loves throwing insults at others, yet he's incredibly incensed when he's insulted. So I suppose throwing stones from a glass house is something of a specialty for people like Razorfist.

They sperg too hard at downplaying their hobbies by making fun of other people with the same nerd hobbies so they'll make themselves look "normal" in the eyes of other people. It just makes them look more pathetic and groups of anti-nerds and pro-nerd hobbies will both tell them that they suck.

That's the thing; in a world like ours, there is no "normal". That old fat dude across the street could be an anime fan. That cat lady next door is probably burying her head in young adult novels. That priest you met in church might be a fan of classic superheroes. The dude bringing you the mail could have a collection of Warhammer 40K minifigs at home, and he uses his job to buy and collect more minifigs. Some rando who walks down the street every day could be a Star Wars fan with figures all over his TV setup. Some car salesman could be a Transformers fan who collects robot toys that turn into Lamborghinis, Volkswagens, Harley-Davidson bikes, the works. Some US Marine who's coming home from his posting in Japan could be bringing home some Gundam kits that he fancied when he was walking down the streets of Tokyo, and he saw a Gundam anime that he began to like.
Many of these anti-nerds are just posers; and a good chunk of them, I bet, were once nerds or still are nerds. They just want to tar and feather someone else as the "other", someone to be shamed and mocked, when in reality, they're just as much outcasts as the people they're shaming.
The idea that everyone has to conform to an artificial idea of "normal" is one passed around by political activists on both sides, and they use it to persecute anyone they deem to be subnormal or wicked. Which is ironic, when someone like Razorfist or Nick Fuentes preaches that we have to be against the SJW norm, yet they're against others who don't subscribe to some conservative form of "normal" as well. I can understand someone being disgusted with sexual degenerates or pedos, but slagging people for having nerd hobbies or being weebs is pointless and stupid. Isn't one of the things the US was built on the "pursuit of happiness?" If someone finds happiness at being a nerd or a weeb, then they should be allowed to do it without being shamed, especially since it's not hurting anyone.

This reminds me of that Youtube video where a guy jogging on the street makes a video about Toy Galaxy's toy hobby being silly. The latter isn't hurting anyone with his hobby so why bother putting him down in the first place? Oh right, because the douchebag jogger wants to feel better about himself. That guy reminds me of Danny Boy right now.
I say, better to be a nerd who doesn't bother anyone with their hobbies than douchebags who put down people for no reason other than to hide their massive inferiority complexes.
As someone who enjoys, and has enjoyed, many nerd hobbies I can say with absolute conviction that although those hobbies are fun they have always been filled to the brim with social rejects and absolute fuckwads. Both Nick and Razor are typical of the type of people you would find in a hobby store, a 40K tournament, playing Magic the Gathering, or in a World of Warcraft guild. There has always been the type of nerd who got bullied into nerd culture and upon finding themselves there decided they'd be the bullies in that subculture. They are in the nerd space because no-one else will take them and their way of coping is to put other people down, specifically other nerds who they perceive as being weaker than them. It is basic bitch behavior, and it has always been a part of nerd culture.
It has been something that always annoyed me, I got into tabletop and gaming because of a cousin (who being on the spectrum and half aboriginal) was getting heavily bullied and my Auntie and Uncle asked me and my brother to start going with him to keep an eye out on him. Turns out we both ended up loving it (the gateway drug for both of us was the original Necromunda). What I have found is that there are definitely awesome, supportive and creative people in the hobby, but for every one of those there is atleast 2 like Nick Fuentes and Daniel Harris.
That is the reason you gatekeep your hobby. It is why youve always had to gatekeep your hobbies in nerd culture. Because at the end of the day it isn't about keeping people "out of the game" it is about keeping people "out of your games". I know a lot of you are also nerds, into different things, from hobbies, to music, to film, to vidya, to comics etc. So I am heavily assuming you all know somebody like these two and how they've always been around nerd hobbies.
Edit: This isn't just a right wing thing, there are just as many left leaning fuckwads in nerd hobbies. People may not like hearing this but being a complete piece of shit and unlikeable have very little to do with a person's political alignment and views.
I will caveat this by saying the louder and more forceful someone is in expressing their political alignment and views the more likely someone is going to be a piece of shit.

Let's be real. Weebs shit on other weebs for the anime that they like. Until that stops, I doubt we'll see an end to nerds of one hobby shitting on nerds of another hobby.

Hear hear. People can play whatever the hell they want, but if they wanna be a dick, they can do it with someone else. I have my own little entourage of folks I play Smash Bros with, outside of the utterly cucked community.

Funny that you should say that because toy collectors also act the same too. DC vs. Marvel collectors, originals vs. third-parties, 6" figures vs. the rest of the scales, etc. Adults arguing about toys is an interesting train wreck to see.
Then they all wonder why people think that nerds are weird.
Honestly, normies don't have much of a leg to stand on either. We have mainland Japan and Okinawa who hate each other, and folks from North Carolina who can't stand New Yorkers (hell, New Yorkers can't even stand New Yorkers). And that's to say nothing of ravenous sports fans...

USAID got caught promoting childhood tranny mutilation surgery in India. What happen to Razorfist blaming ESGs and DEI on China?
I imagine that Razorfist would just ignore the topic and hope that people forget he said that China was the main funder of DEI. Despite DOGE's findings directly contradicting him.
But like I said before, not only does China oppose SJW/DEI nonsense, not only do they publicly curse out SJWs as "baizuo", but China has accused America of spreading the BIG GAY throughout Asia, and it turns out they were correct:

That's fucking hilarious. I collect all those types of figures. Marvel, DC, third-party and official, 6-inch figures, 5-inch figures, 3.75-inch figures, the works. There's no reason to stick to just one type of figure.
They pretend to be the stereotype of HS jocks, and I know it's a stereotype, because the actual jocks I remember from high school are also partially nerds, especially when it came to things like anime, video games, science fiction, and other nerd shit. I even remember the jocks in my class voted to have a sci-fi club run by one of our English teachers. Just because they showed up for football practice doesn't mean you won't catch them reading Halo or Star Wars novels now and then. One of the jocks I knew got into Halo through the novels first before playing the video games.

It's basically projection. They project the persecution they suffered onto others; they were persecuted, so they persecute others for not being like them. They take the negative influence of society and impart it unto others. It reminds me so much of the Russian Dedovschina, where the senior officers of the Russian army sexually abuse their lower ranks, and once those lower ranks grow up, they go off and abuse the next group of unlucky cadets who come in through the recruitment office. I'm guessing that Razor and Nick were both insulted for being nerds in the past, so they insult other nerds to make themselves feel "normal".

I never saw those types in the nerd hobby clubs I went to. I mean, when we had our sci-fi and comic clubs, we were all just respectful of what we liked, and we traded with each other on the knowledge we had of the different franchises that were around. I was completely unaware that nerd culture had its darker sides until I went deep into the internet and saw it for myself.

It's kind of hard to gatekeep when the companies that own the IPs and hobbies that you love try to invite outsiders into the system. Just as it's hard to keep invaders out of a city when the city authorities open the gates for them. 40K and Star Wars fans tried to gatekeep against SJWs, and they failed horribly because Games Workshop and Disney wanted that "broader audience" in.
Just look at how the 40K art evolved from something that you'd see on a Heavy Metal cover, to some generic, by-the-numbers sci-fi thing that wouldn't look out of place in a Star Wars or Marvel movie. The companies that own these IPs want as many consumers buying into their brand, and they're willing to sell out the older fans for new blood. I mean, shit, this ain't even new; 40K sold out the fans of the campier, comedic style of 1st and 2nd edition for the grimdark fans of 3rd-7th edition 40K in the 90s and early 2000s. Then in the mid-2010s, they swapped those grimdark fans out for fans of generic capeshit and sci-fi once 40K went into 8th edition.
I will caveat this by saying the louder and more forceful someone is in expressing their political alignment and views the more likely someone is going to be a piece of shit.
It's also more likely that they'll take to getting insulted by running away and blocking people. In other words, they're glass cannons; they can dish out the heat, but they can't take it. Razor is a particularly common example; he insults people left, right, and center, but when he's made to look the fool, he runs away or gets heated under pressure; we saw that with the Kyle Kulinski debate and the Goonergate fiasco.
It's like when you see a pastor whining the loudest about gay people, then it turns out he's smashing a twink behind closed doors. Razor is the political/gaming equivalent of that; he bitches about some Korean game with booty shots being "spiritually caustic" and against Christianity, yet his recent favorite is a DnD-style RPG that has gay sex, bull-dyke demons, and bestiality. He swears like a sailor and delights in offending people, but when he's offended or made to look like a joke, he gets pissy.

Then in the mid-2010s, they swapped those grimdark fans out for fans of generic capeshit and sci-fi once 40K went into 8th edition.
I am going to disagree with the change from 1st and 2nd into the grimdark from 3rd edition on. It was already going grimdark, and the guys turning it grimdark were the ones who wrote the original edition. It wasn't a jarring shift. Look at the games released post 2nd edition, specifically Necromunda and Mordheim, and you can see the creators were leaning more into it, especially inspired by the art of John Blanche and others. The change in tone was natural, it happened over a decade, and was more a case of an IP finding it's feet and style as it developed. Anyone who tells you it was a "dramatic shift" is completely full of shit and wasn't there. It is GW shills who use this line now to defend the tonal changes of Age of Sigmar and 8th Edition. As I mentioned to you in messages I used to commission paint armies, so am pretty familiar with this and the arguments used by company shills to bullshit and shut down dissent and complaints.
The change to 8th edition however, that was jarring and un-natural. That did come out of nowhere, it wasn't done over time, nor were the changes implemented through a natural shift in the game designers and community due to a preference from both toward a particular style. It was an executive decision, something marketing pitched to the executive and they went with it. Out with the old "this is the style now". I don't mind people liking that, but for me, couple that jarring change and complete change in attitude toward the hobbyist with the fact a lot of the new players coming in were horrible to do business with when painting commissions, it was an easy decision to pack up and leave.
It does bother me the argument that 2nd to 3rd was just as "jarring a change". It was a streamlining with a new ruleset and the art direction had been happening in the decade prior. The Games Workshop of 1998 was just smart enough to realize what appealed to the community and ran with it.

Case in point, some of the comments are just seething over brands that aren't US-based since they're expensive and more fragile than an ordinary Marvel Legends figure. Bunch of grown-ups sperging over toys. They haven't thought that you can just move on if you don't like a particular item but no, let's argue like children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=SbuWqzCWNMg
You can see which of these people are mature enough or just want engagement so badly.
Going back to Razorfist, I think he's going to let things blow over for a while until people forget his part in Goonergate or his theories on how China was the main funder of DEI. He'll compensate by trying to retain a low profile while making some pro-Trump videos, but I don't know how long that can sustain him, given how Republicans loyal to Trump are getting grilled in town hall meetings. If Danny-boy sides with Trump, he risks being attacked by lower-class fans whose lives got worse because of Trump, and if he goes against Trump, the Trump boot-kissers among his fanbase will turn on him. So even in the politics front, it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

That's because that demand came from corpo to appeal to a broader demographic from the outside, whereas the turn to grimdark from camp that happened with the earlier 40K editions happened naturally as a response to the safe climate of the 90s. As you said, the original writers approved of the change from campy to grimdark, whereas the change to 8th has all the hallmarks of a change that was decreed by corporate overlords who saw the increasing influence of other works (Disney's Star Wars and Marvel were crushing it at that period) so they wanted a piece of that pie and made the Space Marines more generic; something that would fit into the Star Wars/Marvel mold instead of the grimdark that looked out of place in modern culture.

Most US-based brands make their toys overseas anyways; all that hullaballo is pointless. A Transformers toy officially made by Hasbro usually comes from China or Vietnam, whereas a Transformers third-party toy typically comes from China. It's not like the official toys by US-based brands are made in America or something. And if they were, they'd shoot up in price like the third-party Chinese stuff.

Short-sighted toy people forget to factor in the equipment, sculpting & tooling involved in the process too as one of the reasons why similar items are more expensive than others. Someone can do a case study of toy collecting behavior and the mental gymnastics that they exhibit.
As for Danny Boy, he exhibits this mental gymnastics behavior too so he'll fit well with these whiners who deserve being mocked every time they open their mouth.

Basically, the first step to blind fandom is to ignore the nuances of things; to accuse the other side of being wrong no matter what. I've been guilty of that in the past, but I've realized that neither side has the answers, and to be a truly wise human being, you have to see things from different perspectives and formulate your own answers from your own experiences.
As for these toy people, they seem to forget that all their plastic crack comes from East Asia. Japan, Vietnam, China, among others, these nations supply them with their figures, be it Gundam, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, DBZ, Transformers, Mario, Sonic, Pokemon, Halo, GI Joe, even third-party and independent franchises make their figures there. So bitching about how some third-party figure doesn't come from a US-based brand is asinine.
As for Danny Boy, he exhibits this mental gymnastics behavior too so he'll fit well with these whiners who deserve being mocked every time they open their mouth.
Being a fan of Danny-boy helped feed that idea of blind fandom in my head in the past. I hated games from franchises like Metal Gear and Final Fantasy because of him; only to find the games he slagged to be quite fun. I once saw his Elric/Witcher plagiarism video and held it as gospel, until I began to see cracks in his logic, and I came across information that sank his arguments. Eventually, I grew out of being a fan of Razorfist, but to see him make the same mistakes in the past, as well as new mistakes, drove me to the other side.
