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

I like synth because hes an unfiltered sperg. Idk how people can look up to him in anyways because he is for all intents and purposes a fucking neet without a degree thats essentially afraid to work because he gets anxious or some gay shit. This parasocial niggas need to touch grass. Synth isnt special, he just happens to be the sperg of the moment, tomorrow can be Kane's games, after that can be Sperg #39.
 
I think this is your fundamental incompatibility. I don't see any moral prescription in synths positions and I doubt he would say there is one, he is openly hostile to morality in some cases and has been for years. And on a philosophical level most people reject prescriptivism.
OK, I kind of disagree with this. I don't think objection to "DEI" has value without any moral framework. It doesn't have to be Christian morality, but I see it as pointless if you're bathing in the things you're criticizing. Most people here would recognize this if we were talking about EFAP or Critical Drinker.
I also don't believe people are here just because he's a good reviewer.

I think yesterday's reply went a step further from his usual "I like X, but it is disgusting and abnormal".

Well that's expected, its a fundamental belief. Otherwise there wouldn't be a disagreement. It might be a stream you can't cross.

For most people saying "X is bad" is simply a statement that X is bad.

For others, "X is bad" means don't do X.

That's Prescriptivisim.

For still others, "X is bad" means X is always bad and nobody should do X.

That's universal precriptivism

Sometimes the addict is best person to show how bad the thing he addicted to is instead of someone who has no connection to the subject.

Sure, but I don't think that was the case with yesterday's stream. I think he starts talking about this 15 minutes in if you want to watch it.

I very well know that he panders to his degenerate audience, but I doubt he wants to project (promote) his fetishes onto the average population like most of vocal coomers. He also tends to separate this shit from the reviews. Most of the bad shit only happens on streams where biggest autists lie.
 
As long as the reviews maintain consistency and with right amount of edge and schizo, I don't really worry.

I'll only raise an eyebrow if he ever goes full critical drinker
"Oh wow, the scene when the ugly faggots kissing is sublime, this show is 10/10".
"The anti-sjw are worse than the sjw"
"Suddenly defends KCD2"
... And other blatant stuff that marks you as a fake.

Everything else is pointless moralfagging policing.
I also don't believe people are here just because he's a good reviewer.
"just because" probably not. But unlike 90% of culture warriors active right now, Synth has actual gaming cred and reviews actual games.

People that cover the gaming industry from that perspective would rather shit 3 videos and a podcast a day and I seriously doubt they know games before the 2010's.

That's why I'm happy that the Sons of Synth™ are adapting a similar format and making actual gaming content.

I'll give my thoughts on this. I think Synthetic Man is a bad person. I don't speak for everyone, but I'm not aware of anyone who views Synth as a moral authority, not even some of his biggest fans like What the Egad think of him as a moral authority. I watch Synthetic man because I find him entertaining and I appreciate his honesty and his willingness to say what he really thinks. I do not have any problem with watching an entertainer who is a bad person because I am not responsible for his behavior, and I can separate the art from the artist. If Synth's content was inseparable from his behavior, I would find it very difficult to enjoy the things he puts out. If we compare to someone like Hbomberguy or Dick Masterson, Hbomberguy's content is inseparable from his extreme leftism, and Dick Masterson has made his content inseparable from defending pedophiles. If Synthetic Man were to do something equivalent, I would not continue watching him.
As for Synthetic Man himself, if you want to know how he feels comfortable behaving the way he does, you can try asking him yourself, but I will say that just because two actions are both bad, and one may even be far worse than another, it does not mean that someone must be unwilling to do the worse if he is unwilling to do the less bad. Lying about how much you like a video game is not as bad as gooning, but Synthetic Man (and I imagine most of his audience) are fine with gooning but hate lying about how good a video game is. Also, Synthetic Man hates wokeness, but what he really cares about is whether a game is fun, he has a reputation for hating several games that he actually likes because he dared to criticize them for being woke, such as GoW:R, and although I don't think he is known for hating Baldur's Gate 3, he criticized it heavily for being woke and having gay bear sex (literally) but still recommended the game.
 
He accepts and praises mediocrity and garbage in his chat. "Jews, amirite?" followed by "I don't care about pedos, it's about the money" is a grift
It's similar to Sam Hyde, but he made it clear that he doesn't like those "people" to say the least.
controlled opposition.
He isn't, Synth made that clear. But with his statement, lolifags are incentivized to throw money his way. "lol, I don't fucking care that pedophiles give me money", until every sane person has left his audience and he's forced to play jap games about fucking kids to not threaten his bottom line. If it's only about money, he can do it as much as he pleases, whatever. But then he shouldn't complain about being called a fucking grifter. He should simply say that this shit is unacceptable and is scaring away the rest of his audience.
>muh normalfags
Many people were normalfags until they saw where the money goes and started to ask questions in their heads. Pandering to borderline and unapologetic pedophiles isn't doing anyone any favors.
If he does good reviews and shits on wokeslop, recommends good games and stays away from that chat shit, he's fine. But people are still watching.

Didn't he sperg out and ban one of his regular superchatters a while back for suggesting he go to church and volunteer in the community?

Can't remember the dude's name.

Edit: I think it was Xbox Huege
It was Arkoo, and yes, it was very much undeserved. He takes his contrarian personality to the extreme, and refuses to do what others suggest and believe anything that is not easily believable/trusted. And in his mind, the only possible explanation is that Arkoo is either lying or being a pedophiile (as I think he said he teached football to kids).

I 100% believe Arkoo as I also do similar work in my local church. Its just helping the community. Doing something without asking for anything. Even synthcels can do it. But in his head it's an impossibility as he just projects his insecurities and selfish behaviours onto his watchers. I like to watch him a lot, he is very entertaining. But I also pity him because if he made an effort to leave the house and do something he would eventually make it in life. And he is not bad looking at all, even if balding. Jestermaxing would maybe work for him.

Sadly I think people will remind him of yesterday's stream for the rest of his life. He only has himself to blame for being this reckless.
