[Karl der Grosse]

I think Bob's both incredibly awkward and quite timid IRL. He's a fat sweaty autist, and I bet he spends his time out at the barcade glued to his phone, occasionally trying (and failing) to make eye contact with the serving staff as he orders another girl drink or more greasy nachos.

 

[Emperor Julian]

i get the impression he's unpleasent and passive aggresive in person but isnt really able to articulate his horrible idea's because nobody is willing to listen to him for long enough.

We keep having this argument. The one person who's met Bob in the flesh and admitted to it -- Jaimas, I think? -- reported that Bob is just as arrogant, condescending, and confrontational in meatspace as he is in the Twitterverse.

Now, to be fair, that was at a convention where I think Bob was a panelist, so he may have felt comfortable enough to be an obstreperous jerk knowing he wouldn't pay a price for it. He may well be exactly as timid as most Twitter tough guys are in the real world. But so far the only account we have paints a very different picture.

In the words of our fallen brother, @NQ 952 (why did LordKat ever bug out, anyway?):

"Was introduced to him at MAGFest several years ago. Guy was a complete lunatic from the get-go. Really huge ego and a fucking prick."

 

[Absolutego]

In the words of our fallen brother, @NQ 952 (why did LordKat ever bug out, anyway?):

I suspect he was tired of being pinged incessantly into every Channel Awesome drama thread, took advantage of Null offering deletions, and may very well be here on a new account.

 

[King Dead]

That was sort of the twist behind Bioshock: Infinite.
You play as Booker, a former Pinkerton. Pinkertons were the guys hired to break up union strikes, basically protest-busters.
Booker is sent to a fantasy city of Columbia, a flying utopia built in the 1900s by uber-patriots who still practice segregation against blacks and the Irish.
Over the course of the game you're blackmailed by the leader of the rebellious Vox Populi into getting her enough guns to take down the Founders.
The Vox later uses this arsenal to enslave and humiliate the citizens of Columbia in turn, showing that they can be just as bad as their oppressors.
The backlash against Ken Levine for this twist is likely part of the reason why he doesn't make games anymore.

I didn't hate Infinite because of the Vox Populi twist (hell, it's not even a twist when you consider the history of communist societies), I hated it because it was completely stripped down from its earlier concepts of a much larger world with many more enemies and encounters, a poor successor to the first two Bioshock games. And the ending was just a wankfest of "look at how smart I am, you were the bad guy all along and you have to kill yourself to win, this has never been done before" that put me off from ever touching the game again. I'm not surprised they ruined one of the few good things in DLC, that would be par for the course as far as I'm concerned.

Also, no fucking shit pop culture generally portrays the good guys as scrappy underdogs, because that's what makes for an interesting story. In the real world, the team that wins the Super Bowl is usually the team that's been stomping their way through the season and dominating the field; make a movie about that, and it's boring and predictable. We're more engaged with stories where someone overcomes the odds and pulls off the win because that makes for good drama with a satisfying conclusion; even if they lose in the end, it can still be pulled off in a crowd-pleasing way.

In the real world, most people can tell the difference between a group of peaceful protestors being crushed under the boot of a tyrannical regime and a riot burning down a city and law enforcement being called out to deal with that. I don't care how many post-apocalyptic dystopia movies have shown the "rebels" dressed in a similar fashion to the Seattle/Portland/wherever rioters, that doesn't make them automatically the good guys. Bob, in his infinite autism, likely doesn't understand this.

I want to say I read a post somewhere in the thread where someone said they were working at a movie theater when Bob showed up and confirmed he's an ass IRL, but then again, you can say anything on the internet and not worry about proof. I think it's still a safe bet that he's an ass because he's from Bahstan (or Bahstan-adjacent, anyway). They don't call 'em Massholes for nothing.

I suspect he was tired of being pinged incessantly into every Channel Awesome drama thread, took advantage of Null offering deletions, and may very well be here on a new account.

That's not what happened. LordKat got himself embroiled into a legal conflict with a batshit insane cow by the name of Greg "BigFazeek" D'Agostino. I don't want to derail the attention off of Bob, so if you want to now more about it just read this writeup I did in the Linkara thread for people who were asking the same thing. I am assuming LordKat disabled his account for the meantime until the entire lawsuit blows off, and that he could eventually return after.

Back on the subject of Bob, I feel kind of torn on whether or not he's confrontational in real life. He displays the mental instability and rage for it to be possible, but at the same time he does display some cowardice that shows that he doesn't want conflict.

We saw it when that BLM activist told him to go fuck himself awhile back. He didn't stand his ground and go after him. He made one timid response and then ran away after the guy told him off. He also displays the same cowardice when he refuses to actually defend any of his past statements.

My honest belief is that Bob is confrontational until he realizes he has a real conflict. Intimidation is his only weapon.

 

[Smithfield Ham]

I like the implication that the "harassment board" trolls screencap any of his vile rambling for "clout." If he means 4chan, isn't everything there anonymous? If he means the Farms ... hoo boy, Bobby, you really don't understand us.

Considering "clout" on the farms translates to "having ween tards send actual shit to your mailbox and beg you for dick pics so they can send them to your mom" I don't think many people wanna chase it here.

 

[Doctor Placebo]

Now I want to know if there's a piece of media where your expectation is subverted and it's later revealed the underdogs are just as bad, if not worst.

The last Hunger Games book/movie also did this, with President Coin well on her way to becoming just as bad as President Snow. Her idea to have a new Hunger Games with the Capitol children is when she crosses the line enough that Katniss decides to kill her. Spoilers for a decade old series.

At least in the books its forecasted and foreshadowed through books 2 and 3, so it doesn't come as surprise to the reader, just to the characters.

Bob's "No bad tactics only bad targets" is the kind of thinking that causes the 'bomb the protestors, then bomb the first responders, then bomb the hospitals" attitudes.

The backlash against Ken Levine for this twist is likely part of the reason why he doesn't make games anymore.

The one thing that always stood out in Bioshock Infinite for me was the Columbia citizens trying desperately to get away while Vox taunted them with, "Your lives are ours! Your wives are ours!".

I think Levine got shit for it and got browbeaten because he was right about how ugly a revolt can be, and you don't have to dig deep into history to see that.

There is no more insidious evil than that which appears trustworthy, or, failing that, appealing. As we see from Bob's thirsting for Balloon Tits Wu, he's happy to swallow and believe blatant propaganda as long as it's got a nice image.

 

[The Nothingness]

Another video game that had kind of the twist I was talking about earlier was in the Devil May Cry reboot (even if people saw it coming).

To paraphrase an old saying: in an age of lies, telling the truth is a courageous and revolutionary act. There's no way anyone in The Current year can make a portrayal of a Communist/Brown people revolution gone haywire that doesn't end with the reveal that an evil white man was behind it all. When Bioshock:Infinite came out, I recall Angry Joe pissing and moaning about Daisy Fitzroy becoming a villain because she was an oppressed black woman and oppressed black women should never become villains in any type of fiction whatsoever. I had known Joe was a cuck, but I had never realized the depths of his cuckery until that moment. The evil part of me hopes that Joe meets his end when a band of weave-wearing sistahs surround him in an airport and beat him to a pulp while he squeaks about being an ally and being on their side. That would teach him about the reality of race tribalism and why thinking that only one race can ever be evil is a bigoted idea.

As for Bob, he's probably free to be an asshole in public because he never leaves his asshole town. Everyone surrounding him probably agrees with his politics, even if they wouldn't put it quite the way that he puts it. If Bob ever ventured to the middle of Flyover Mayonnaise Ghoul Land and tried acting like a dismissive urban effete in a rural biker bar, he'd get his Mario blazer and 3 dollar sunglasses stuffed into his expansive piehole.

 

[Big Butts Bunny]

As much as I hate Bob and his retarded politics and hot takes, I still love this video.

I'm a huge fan of the original Raimi Spiderman trilogy, and Bob perfectly explained why these movies are so special, in my opinion.

Bob is still a fat piece of shit though.

I like to illustrate the typical fate of the Useless Idiot in a communist revolt scenario with the "And that gives you power over me?" scene in The Dark Knight Rises. I think in just a minute or so it gets across the point that just because you're financing and cheering on the assholes because you think it could benefit you...it really won't, and the second you're no longer useful they dispose of you while you can only manage cries of "But I helped you!"

Look at a Soviet purge and you'll see plenty of people that were valuable to the party...until they weren't.

 

[Imposteroak]

I'd like to add to the the "No one gets Bob's joking

Sarcasm works badly on the Internet because every dumb statement is either

1) A smart person being sarcastic
2) A dumb person being honest
3) A dumb person claiming after the fact to be sarcastic (the Bob option).

Something I've mulled over for a while is that people don't get when bob is joking is because he doesn't make jokes. All of his wit, humor and intelligence relies on references, often obtuse tortured ones. I honestly have never gotten through a full bob video and many wonder what his appeal is and I theorize it's the sort who just go "heh epic reference bro." chuckle to themselves and move on. While references can be funny, I can't say anything I've seen from Bob has ever made me laugh. I can only conclude the people who like/liked him are the same autists who find tv tropes a riot. So humorless autists who like to play connect the dots.

Bob is still a fat piece of shit though.

The most annoying part of the vid is where he stops for what feels like ten minutes to apologize/explain to non-American viewers about 9-11.

 

[Strange Wilderness]

What's even better is his defense of his jokes reveals just how autistic he is. It almost always goes:
"Yo, Bob. This is cringe."
"Well duh, don't you think I don't know that?"

No Bob, nobody thinks that because nobody is you. We can't read your mind. There are billions, upon billions of people out there who do not know who you are, and if they came across those words first thing, they would have no context for what you meant. If you want them to be seen as jokes, then deliver them as obvious jokes instead of as dry, long-running gags as if your life was Arrested Development. i.e. "What is going on in Poland? Maybe one of their neighbors needs to invade to straighten them-- oh. Oh wait..."

You keep acting like you're intentionally playing the clueless buffoon for the audience to laugh at his cluelessness and lack of self-awareness, even though the whole bit depends on you being self-aware and as we've seen multiple times you are not self-aware. Hence why if you wanted the jokes to work, you need to include the self-aware punchline with it, so people can see, "Oh, he's not a complete dumbass."

But you don't, so random folks just see the rantings of a madman. And we've seen your reply when someone socks you out of the blue, "Why can't they give me the benefit of the doubt? Why can't they get to know me first?" Yeah, just like how you got to know the life story and context of the lockdown protesters you put on a "President Evil" parody artwork and said "these people seem unnecessary." Oh what's that Bob? "You're one of the good ones?" You are "a staunch ally"? You "deserve a chance?" Funny, because just glancing a you, all anybody can see is someone that looks unnecessary.

Or to spell it out for the autist: You are demanding people should get to know you, so they would then know they should take a chance to get to know you. Which is why nobody bothers with you.

This kind of behavior is fine when you're hanging out with real life people who can read your facial expressions and hear your vocal tone and see you're making a joke. If you and your buds, co-workers, or family were hanging out and you wanted to say something outrageous you can spell it out you're making a joke or saying something outrageous to get a reaction. Hell your role in the group could be the "jokester" or "crazy person" and your insane ramblings are dismissed as you being you. Bob doesn't have any meaningful relationships in real life and uses Twitter as a substitute for friendship and doesn't realize how real life interactions with friends don't translate over the Internet.

We keep having this argument. The one person who's met Bob in the flesh and admitted to it -- Jaimas, I think? -- reported that Bob is just as arrogant, condescending, and confrontational in meatspace as he is in the Twitterverse.

Now, to be fair, that was at a convention where I think Bob was a panelist, so he may have felt comfortable enough to be an obstreperous jerk knowing he wouldn't pay a price for it.

My honest belief is that Bob is confrontational until he realizes he has a real conflict. Intimidation is his only weapon.

It might be that Bob is naturally a timid coward who avoids human contact and confrontation. Until he gets a few beers in him. Then he becomes the angry belligerent drunk he is online and in person. The world will never know until some autist decides to stalk Bob and follow him on his daily routine.

Also, no fucking shit pop culture generally portrays the good guys as scrappy underdogs, because that's what makes for an interesting story.

Bob has never lived in the real world. Even back in school he thought acting like a stereotypical High-School bully picking on the nerds would make him one of the cool kids when all it did was make him an outcast.

As much as I hate Bob and his retarded politics and hot takes, I still love this video.

I'm a huge fan of the original Raimi Spiderman trilogy, and Bob perfectly explained why these movies are so special, in my opinion.

Bob is still a fat piece of shit

Broken Clock. Twice a Day. etc, etc. I don't know if its him actually applying critical thinking skills to the Raimi films and seeing they have a distinctive style and respect for storytelling that the Sony/Marvel films didn't have, or its just his autism declaring that the Raimi films are the OG canon live action portrayal of Spiderman. Like his insistence that that Mario is from Brooklyn because that was the implication in the early games and cartoons, because that was the original characterization he grew up thinking that is the character set in stone.
