TGWTG Kyle Kallgren / Oancitizen / Brows Held High - Afraid of the Eggnog Ninjas, "Male Feminist" that Abuses Women, 2nd-rate Cinema Snob, Hugh Hefner A-Log, Fat Creepy Incel Cuck

The stupidest part is when he talks about film stock being designed for white skin then showing a clip of Cassablanca. Isn't this purely a matter of lighting not the film itself? Black and white particularly film noir brings up contrasts (chiaroscuro). It's the nature of the technology back then. But there were also black directors and black actors in black and white films then. Even after the advent of colour there were independent black directors who used 'racist' b&w film.
I might be misreading what you're saying, but I think Kyle just used the Casablanca scene as a visual comparison of white and black skin in film lighting without intending to offer any further commentary on the lighting in Casablanca specifically.

In any case, this portion of the video frustrated me, because Kyle neglected to explain how film stock was designed for white skin, plus the use of the Casablanca example obscures the fact that it wasn't black-and-white film which was designed for white skin, but early color film. In the early-to-mid-20th century, Kodak used color reference cards featuring all-white models as the standard against which they calibrated the colors of their prints, creating a technological bias which flattered white skin but made black skin underexposed.
 
Holy shit, this was a wild ride and I loved every moment of it.

For one, I did some digging and I found a picture of Kyle at MAGfest when the slimeball crawled into some girls bed. I found it on some random girl's Flickr, which I will leave out for her own safety.

Look at that hunk wouldn't you just want him...

Creepily snuggling up to you at night when you are most vulnerable?

A bit more research lead me to some bloggers and Channel Awesome fans that filled in some more gaps/gave a few more tidbits.

This blog lead me down a tiny rabbit hole and onto Kyle's ex girlfriend's tumblr. I haven't gone digging yet but I'm sure she's an ex girlfriend for a reason, and that bullying comment does mention that Kyle is using her, I wonder if something came out of that.

Finally, I was digging around and found this

Apparently Kallgren is such a pussy and sycophant that he cozies up to Brad for a cameo and after Brad kindly does so, Kallgren immediately unfollows him or blocks him.

tl;dr: Kyle is a bit of a wuss

Wow, what a slimebag.

I thought his fear of the eggnog ninjas made that obvious.

Finally! A legit example of white privilege. I have seen the unicorn.

IIRC, a few years ago Brad posted a letter online where he called out Kyle as a user and fake friend. I'll try to hunt it down and post it if I can locate it.

An interesting note is that this ex-girlfriend of Kyle's later started dating Rap Critic and, as far as I know, is still with him. I don't keep up with RC, but if he's done any videos featuring a "Lady Jess" recently, that's her. I'm suddenly curious what the dynamic between Kyle and RC is like, in light of this.

I'll be shocked if Kyle didn't try to be a bull-prepper

She's a big white landwhale, right? You can catch her in Rap Critic's series on Warner Brothers' Censored Eleven, where she talks over an actual black man about how black people are portrayed, if my memory serves right. I liked RC normally, but she dragged down the videos massively. She lacks the ability to project her voice in a way that doesn't sound like you're being lectured. Imagine Chick's Nella, but with obnoxiousness at maximum. I think this is the video that stopped me from keeping up with the guy, as well as SJW undertones seeping into his videos more and more.
Note how generously Jess is portrayed in the thumbnail.

Kyle and RC did a collaboration at one point, but I don't know who was dating who then.

I stopped watching RC when he and Jess did a review of The Jazz Singer and were criticizing it for its racism and that its historical significance doesn't matter or some shit.

Like, yeah I'm not gonna deny the movie's portrayal of blackface really doesn't hold up in the modern age, but at the same time, this was the first movie with actual dialogue, and, racist or not, that's still massively important. Plus, Al Jolson himself promoted black artists and chose to do the movie in order to pave the way for them to reach mainstream success. Times were different back then; yes blackface is racist now, but back then it wasn't, and was seen as support for the black community.

I haven't seen the video in forever, I just remember them ranting about how "racist" it was. I just think it's reductive to try and divorce the movie from its historical context, both in film history and how society perceived the movie at the time.

Just wait until they find out about The Birth of a Nation.
