Anthony Fantano / TheNeedleDrop - "The Internet's Busiest Music Nerd"™, heelturned since 2017, slowly becoming smug SJW, threw Sam Hyde under the bus

I’m glad someone finally made a thread on this bald fuck. He’s a pretentious and insufferable prick and I only wish the worst for him.
He's like the whigger version of Tim Pool
I used to like Anthony. I still think his content on thatistheplan is great. But once the Fader went after him, his more liberal side took over and there can be no fun allowed. Sad!

Here's a pretty complete archive of the thatistheplan channel.

Yes, I've already archived it months ago.

He's a vid with his wife, a black woman.
I noticed that men like this never date attractive black women. They have to settle for blacks that look like Kat Blaque.
 
Sam Hyde is too powerful, he turned this bald idiot from a sargon-esque "classical liberal" who loved pepe memes into a marxist with a severe case of hypocrisy just with the shear influence he has on media.

Until one of his fans links it here of course and tries to sue the website with his made-up BS lawsuit that totally happened. 😜

The only thing that would make that better is if his fans tried to raid this thread.

Not until it leaves the proving grounds. And even if he sues, Null will just post his claims on the front page and the site will make fun of his ass.

Or he could sue before it leaves, proving why this thread belongs himself.
 
Reasons I like Fantano:
-He helps me discover good music.
-He does a great job leaving politics out of his main YT channel.

Reasons I dislike Fantano:
-Everything mentioned in this thread.

I'm still subscribed to his YT channel. But I never listen to his reviews. Seriously, fuck that. I dip straight to his description and the comments. Hearing/reading people critique music/shows/films/vidya is dreary and exhausting. I stopped pretending that I care anymore. I'm confident enough in my own opinions. And it's dead obvious his subscribers don't care what he says either. They only look at his scores, like I do.

EDIT: Sometimes I wonder how does he maintain his lifestyle. How can anyone listen to so much new music for so long (10 years now) and not go crazy? And when he takes a break he's fucking arguing on Twitter. I mean, holy shit.

By the way, if he's vegan, how is he fat?

IIRC, there was a video years ago that opened with him and Cal with their hands up. I think "Hands Up Don't Shoot" was somewhere, either on his mirror he uses for a green screen or on a shirt. This was around the time Michael Brown died, I think. I can't find the clip.

But yes, for the most part he doesn't talk politics. I don't think he's had a moment like Quintin Reviews where he just stops a review to talk about how he hates Trump.

He's built like a shit house brah. Not fat, just muscle.
 
I guess if his fans leak it that this thread exists to Fantano. Hopefully he doesn't DFE.

He doesn't seem THAT arrogant, but you never know with the YouTube community. When YouTube used to recommend ProJared videos to me, I never imagined the guy was sending nudes to his fans.

I like Anthony's content, but TBH he's done enough dumb shit and got in enough Twitter slapfights that he probably merits a thread by this point.
That shit he did during the protests where he started every video mumbling about how we should fuck the police and how anarchy's great was mega cringey And I generally support the cause of anti-police brutality.
 
Case study in how not to reinvent yourself as a soft, family friendly progressive.
It's not a hard playbook to follow:
  1. Oh, shit! I just got cancelled!
  2. Delete everything even vaguely innovative or interesting about your portfolio of work.
  3. Give a sincerely insincere apology without committing to changing anything meaningful.
  4. Refrain from using social media under your real name or known aliases.
  5. Wait a while. The storm will die down.
You don't need to go on twitter and be a total, insufferable prick, or invent new hobbies/character traits for yourself that fit the "progressive norm". You're never going to entirely shake the fact that you shilled yourself blatantly on 4chan for years to get your start, or that time you embraced some shitlord culture because it was funny and got you lots of views. Drawing attention to your supposed bona fides only gives your would-be enemies more excuse to retcon you entirely.
Give it a rest, Fantano.

This made me think a bit. How much do you think these are his real political views, and how much is this just him being a doormat for his wife? Because Anthony Fantano is anything but a strong personality, and if I know anything about black women it's that they will hate the fuck out of white men in public while fucking the hate out of them on the side.

TBH I think he was probably just one of the edgy liberal goons on 4chan back in the 2000's who's just wildly overcorrected now that 4chan leans hard-right overall.
 
I remember him saying he wouldnt make a video where he says the n-word because hes white, and even if the music hes reviewing says it, he cant say it because hes white, and then goes on a spiel that "I bet you wouldnt say that to your boss or teacher!"
I bet you wouldn't listen to say The Beatles in front of your boss or teacher, but that's due to it being non-productive, not because it's morally wrong like Mr. Needle's implying.

(Also don't forget there are delinquents that totally would do this shit.)
 
Fagtano dresses like utter shit...should've stuck to the flannels. Just what I like to see in my social media feed, some insufferable virtue signalling rant under a picture of an ever-widening man in a hideous combo of crocs, rugby shirt and tie-die that might be acceptable if a 5 year old picked it out.

I don't follow him on social media, but I remember seeing this:
View attachment 1436766
Really embarrassing.

His subreddit can be interesting too. Here's the thread about the aforementioned tweet:
I also remember reading this thread around that time:
Lil Nas X repeating this “sILeNcE eQuALs CoMpLiCiTy” mantra to make himself look good.
Yet he wasn’t saying anything when people dug up his old tweets mocking those ISIS bombers for blowing up Ariana Grande’s concert. But since he’s gay, no one will bother to talk about it anymore.
