I called it, I said that his fanbase is full of leftists trying to groom him. There you go, proof is in the pudding.
It's been like this for a long time. Years ago at this point, during one of his monthly videochats, somebody sperged at him over using the word "retard" (maybe in the Sonic video?) and said they'd explain why it was so very harmful to him over email. Something similar happened more recently when he used the term "special needs". It's hard to get a read on his chat sometimes.

I think Ross is too autistic to really be swayed by people virtue signalling at him. In his videochats, even when he seems to disagree with some position, he usually says he'd need to hear more arguments anyway. On the topic of controversial associations, I believe he has also already defended his practice of speaking to literally anyone who will listen with regards to his cause, though I recall him also saying he wants to stay away from figures that are too controversial for obvious reasons.

When Ross himself has gotten spergy about politics, it's usually been climate change related, very old-school normal stuff (the big-nosed traveling merchant in Mage Knight Apocalypse), or something autistic (like skimpy combat outfits in RPGs ruining his immersion). He then promptly leaves the topic unless its central to the video.
 
If the petition didn't even cross the halfway point then it's dead in the water. Too bad, but I find it interesting how many votes came from /pol/ACKS.
Pretty much, the biggest hope is some gacha game getting sued by a mega whale. But those whales are usually too buck broken by the game to sue and risk killing the franchise.

Hey maybe if the rumours of HL3 coming out this year are true, it might encourage Ross to get off his ass and start pumping out more FM.

It’s gotten to the point where even his GD episodes feel phoned in now.

If Valve won't release HL3, fans will, and I bet by the time he is done with the main game and the first two episodes, Episode 3 mod will be released and might even have custom content tailor made for Ross/suggested by him. I am thinking this is going to be his "finale", unless he will just give up after a certain point. FM has to be the longest running machinima/Let's Play at this point, I think only Red vs Blue can claim to rival it and Rooster Teeth is out of business by now, it is perfectly understandable if Ross would throw in the towel eventually. Very anti-climactic, but what can you do, do we seriously want him to keep making episodes when he's 50-60? There is already an entire generation who watched FM1 in High School, graduated, married and have kids now. Think about that, they will be retiring too by the time FM 2 and it's episodes finish by this rate.

Old news if you actually watched Freeman's Mind or Civil Protection. He used to curse like a sailor and has mellowed with age.

Ross just took his Gordon freeman caricature too seriously and it seems to have carried over into real life politics. Especially in the later episodes when he starts critiquing whatever management was running Black mesa while going through the meat packing plant levels and Xen. But its not a bad cause to take up for game preservation and railing against games as a service.

Would probably have an effective grassroots lobbying organization if Ross was able to successfully appeal to gacha whales. Though those audiences tend to not care either. Just doesnt make sense to spend that much money for pulls that the games are designed around just for the game to reach EOS and not be able to use what you paid for offline but with no further updates.

Hasn't it been almost a year since the last FM2 Episode? He was nearing the end of Ravenholm.

Also Ross has always been a shitlib fag, it's obvious whenever he brings up any kind of political stance. Don't kid yourselves that he doesn't support all the leftist faggotry like the tranny bullshit etc - he's literally quoted Foucault, joked about wanting to look like Lenin and whined about antisemitic depictions of Jews in games before.

Ross doesn't even use Discord, that shit is ran by his cock chopping AGP fans.
 
Ross is not right wing
Basically cliff notes as I remember it:
- seems to have numerous misconceptions regarding how food is produced, and fertilizer in general, greatly underestimates potential for nuclear power to have a significant impact due to electrolysis produced hydrogen VS haber natural gas produced hydrogen (main bottleneck ingredient)
- he seems to think that we live in a video game and that the world is balanced as such, and there due to careless decisions in the past, we are likely out of runway for humanity to survive in general
- no amount of arguing will ever change his mind

@Activelo @naaaaiiiiillllll!!!

You see "official" in there anywhere you dumb fuck?
 
I think he's just running out of ideas for FM2 and doesn't want to reuse jokes. The longer it goes, the harder it will be to come up with something original. Don't hold your breath for Modern Major General II: Electric Bogaloo.

A couple years back, I re-watched FM1 from start to finish over a long weekend and I was impressed how many jokes/observations were recycled. In fairness, FM1 lasted a long time and had long hiatuses (Machinima BS) so if you were watching in real time, you wouldn’t notice as much. That’s more of a problem for long solo levels, but whenever he’s interacting with NPCs, that’s when some new gems come out (Kleiner backstory from grad school, Gordon being an ass to Alyx/Eli Vance, Father Grigori, etc). My hope is if/when FM2 starts up again, we’ll see more of this since HL2 has way more NPCs.
 
If you have to go digging into discord, or hunt for off-hand, blink-and-you'll-miss-it quips from old videos, or listen to "a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy's cousin said Ross voted for Al Gore in 2000", you're just trying to make yourself angry at that point.

Ross doesn't talk about politics in his video or social media or anywhere else as far as I can tell. That's the best we can hope for in this day and age.

So knock it off with the McCarthyist witch hunt. It's a youtube channel about video games.
