hbomberguy / Harry "Harris" Brewis / Slazenger Rapemachine Whiteshaf - "Rational" SJW, former SA goon/LPer, sexual harassment apologist, raised $350K+ for child abuse cult

[the clap]

Yeah of course, though sometimes I guess it depends on the side lol

Are we really gonna laugh at people saying that Sargon's dumb for confirmation bias or that flat-earthers are dumb just to make sure we don't end up like Bob Chipman? lol

I'm confused - are you saying we shouldn't laugh at hbomberguy's spergery because other spergs exist? This isn't a zero sum game dude. Unless you're a fan of hbomberguy lol

Mmm, no, in fact I say in one of my earlier posts;

I don't know (or remember) much about the creep stuff, admittedly. That might still be worth looking into.

(Referring to the titular sexual harassment apologia)

Mainly my thought process with that is that we shouldn't defend indefensible people/things just to pwn someone we don't like

I know this isn't a zero-sum game. I do like some of his videos now, yes, but if he fucks up, does something dumb/shitty, or makes a really, really bad point, I'm not gonna rush to his defense lmao, that's really how it should be

Hbomberguy came out with a video celebrating Fallout New Vegas. Which probably would have been great to come out two months earlier, for the 10th anniversary of the game.

And from my brief listen, the dumbass calls the Legion fascist, despite the Legion, not even being a centralized state, let alone one with enough control to enforce a corporatist economy.

Well, he may have the definitive voice of a smug cunt and infamously organized a donation drive to a homophobic, transgender child obsessed group, but at least he has some good taste in video games.

Harry praised people on the awards who mentioned Marx for being brave.
They literally said the safest generic left opinion out there and the whole audience clapped them.
And this man thinks he is smarter than Sargon...

 

[etcetcetc]

That's generally his and Shaunandjen's (is Jen still with Shaun?) schtick, go for low hanging fruit like PragerU etc that's broadly on the right and dunk on it. Whenever they try anything a bit more complicated (like Shaun trying to talk about terfs) they're hopelessly out of their depth and the undergrad philosophy, postmodernist wank dressed up as leftist thought doesn't work. It's easy and lazy, it'd be much more interesting to see them properly engage with more robust right wing arguments and look at their own side too (and maybe even actually read some Marx, if they don't end up deciding to cancel him for being a materialist, talking about biological sex and condemning prostitution). I guess it gets the viewers in though, the liberals lap it up because they can feel superior to PragerU of all things and all he does is tell them so. Like John Oliver but less charismatic.

These people were trained by late night talk show hosts such as Jon Stewart in being smug and sarcastic. They're just the inbred version of Stewart's shtick. Also, PragerU isn't just low hanging fruit. It's the rotten fruit on the ground that the bugs have been chewing on. They'll never get into a debate or to try and flesh out arguments. The only tool in their tool kit is to spin narratives for their dumbed down audience. So any discussion will be a meandering mess of wanking themselves off to socialist platitudes.

Thats what we call a 'white nigger' moment.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

I bit the bullet a while ago and decided to check out hbomberguy's stuff in earnest.

And honestly?

He's not that bad. At least his 'measured response' stuff, I've never really checked out any of the popular media he reviews like Bloodborne, RWBY, or any of the Fallout games, so I can't quite speak on those, but I think he does a good job at making Sargon, Aurini, PJW and other people he talks about look like complete tools, and is fairly humorous as he does so. Heck, I'm pretty sure Sargon even referenced hbomberguy's "Antifeminism vs facts" video as one that does a good job in addressing his 1 in 5 video, in his "due diligence" video a while back.

Maybe my politics have changed since I first posted here, I dunno lol

The war on christmas video was kinda fun too, if only to make fun of people who think saying "happy holidays" is causing a Christian genocide

I don't know (or remember) much about the creep stuff, admittedly. That might still be worth looking into.

Making fun of people and making them look like idiots is not hard. At all.

I think it might be less that you have chsnged and more that you don’t know enough to know why he is bad. Least that’s what I get from your post.

You say you don’t know about most of the things he talks about. As someone who does, his videos tend to always have a critical flaw in the premise which makes his main point simply not right.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

As someone who does, his videos tend to always have a critical flaw in the premise which makes his main point simply not right.

I only remember 4 videos of his I've watched, the one on Fallout 3, Bloodborne, Defense of Dark Souls 2, New Vegas (especially since I just watched it recently).
I don't want to spread any baseless accusations around, but when it came to the Fallout 3 and New Vegas videos it seems like he just took entire arguments from 'tismposts about the games on various imageboards wholesale, synthesized them, got footage to show the arguments and made a video out of them all.
Even if he did do so I'm not going to call him a plagiarist or take it as a black mark against him or anything because it's a fucking Youtube video about a bunch of dumb videogames and not a scholarly article about Boccaccio's Decameron. I know that him and his fans think he's some big-brained high-brow culture critic or whatever churning out his feature-length videos, but for his benefit I'm not putting him up to that standard and besides even getting that much research and content to make a video of that length isn't an easy task.

Now, the Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 videos... both are full of nonsensical arguments, contradictions and seem really haphazardly put together. The former is obviously not controversial because saying that Bloodborne is genius is preaching to the choir and if you were to play devil's advocate and try to find flaws in the game you'd really have to start reaching, nitpicking and grasping for straws after a certain point since the game is very robust on all fronts.

The defense of Dark Souls 2 one on the other hand was a controversial opinion and seemed like it was his emotional outburst sparked by matthewmatosis' video on Dark Souls 2. It was horribly put together, the arguments were weak and there were contradictions out the ass, so much so that I honestly thought that Harris made an elaborate troll the first time I watched it. On the contradictions part, the things that made me think that he was trolling at first was when he talked about how unforgiving healing was in Dark Souls 1 and how it sucks to die when you heal and how it's oh-so better handled in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2. In the Demon's Souls part of the argument he shows himself get impaled and killed by a Knight as he tried healing right in front of his face, in the Dark Souls 2 part he used some clip which seemed tailor made to show how fucking slow your character chugs the Estus which makes the Dark Souls 1 Estus chugging seem lightning fast by comparison. The other one was when he said that the Souls games are "vessels" for 1v1 fights against an opponent on equal footing. Now I could be pedantic about this and rightfully claim that no 1v1 fight in the game is truly against an opponent on equal footing save PvP invasions, but I know what he meant by that, he just likes 1v1 fights against big dudes in armor. Now when he talks about muh "equal footing" he shows footage of the Artorias fight and when he says that Artorias moves and fights like a player would, on screen you see Artorias doing a double front flip in the air followed by slamming a massive two-handed sword on the ground one-handed. Then in another part of the video he goes completely against his whole argument he was building up about Dark Souls 2 being tailor-made for 1v1 fights by going around and defending all the bullshit gank spambush encounters you get showered with throughout the game as well as grasping at straws by defending all the gank'n'trashmob boss fights which are so bad that nobody defends them, not even people who like the game. Examples being Non-Respawning-Enemy-Tier Magus and Trashmob as well as the Skelly Trashmob Lords and The Mohawked Rat and his Rat Trashmob which are so crap you could start playing the Capricious Wind track from Dynasty Warriors 8 and if it weren't for the stamina bar and the absence of your character saying "I DEFEATED AN ENEMY OFFICER" you'd swear you were just playing a musou game.

But my 'tismpost is getting long enough already and I think I made my point clear.

So he's a bad media critic then? That's alright, and a perfectly valid reason to dislike his content, if his critiques on things like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, or Fallout routinely have critical flaws

 

[Namerlane the 40th]

It's not really cocksucking if it's a good narrative game.

Only thing I can agree from a pedo

 

[Wünderkind]

What's even funnier is that Matthew wisely didn't even bother entering into hbomb's idiotic pissing match while Mauler put out a sperg-tastic EIGHT HOURS of rebuttal videos... that and hbomb was pointlessly antagonistic calling Matthew an "evil criminal" just for his opinion on a computer game which shows you the kind of bitter, unhinged weirdo Harris is (and I'd argue breadtubers are in general)

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

hat and hbomb was pointlessly antagonistic calling Matthew an "evil criminal" just for his opinion on a computer game which shows you the kind of bitter, unhinged weirdo Harris is (and I'd argue breadtubers are in general)

Well, you could argue that the criminal thing was done in jest, but he did do something absolutely fucking scummy towards matthew. He often put matthew's quotes from the video out of context and even created quotes by putting matthew's out-of-context quotes in a different order so he could show how much of a dummie he is and so he can dunk on him easily. One clip I remember is him laughing at matthew for not knowing how to move the camera with the right stick (something matthew never said) and then went on this clown mode where he laid on he floor pushing a controller's right stick up and down.
Then there's this whole clownish tirade he went on about shields engendering passivity because the only shield in the game in Bloodborne's flavor text says so verbatim and it's a useless meme item anyway that the devs put in the game to indirectly tell the players "Hey faggot, this isn't Dark Souls anymore, you should be aggressive and proactive rather than defensive and reactive". He used that flavor text from that Bloodborne shield to show that using shields in the Souls games, namely Dark Souls 2 in this case, is now retroactively useless because they "engender passivity". Nevermind that DaS2 has a shitton of shields in the game. Nevermind that in DaS2 you need to invest level ups into a stat just to get the same amount of dodge i-frames you had in DaS1, which makes shields more useful. Nevermind that if they didn't want you to use shields, they wouldn't have even put them in the fucking game or they'd do what they did in Bloodborne and put one meme shield with an item description which basically says "shields suck in this game lol go get a bigger sword"

tl;dr Harris is a hack and a fraud

He's a mildly popular e-celeb who would post spergy left-wing rants on Something Awful, said Gamergate was stupid, and called Trump a narcissistic retard. Back in 2017 that was more than enough for a thread here.

 

[skykiii]

it's their prehistoric (pre 2007) mind set, go for the weakest lamb. I don't think they even know that they are doing it.

They probably don't. I recall watching one Big Joel video where he criticizes people like Shoe0nHead for this, but then, well... Joel himself does endless videos about PJW and Prager. and he's supposed to be one of the "actually good" Leftie SJW youtubers.

 

[Mr Metron666]

I am really longing for the day when Harry gets his almost-inevitable career and/or reputation destroying sex-scandal and I hope it’s something really serious, just so I can see his smug-ass get hauled off to jail (depending on where it happens, he might share a cell with one of the other male feminists/wokies/anti-ggers who have been caught up in sex scandals).

Well with that stupid furry avatar he had on twitter for a while the possibilities are endless.

Could be just serial harasser of adult women, but could also be child groomer or dog fucker

Considering he has the appearance of a 40 year old couch potato and autism he would likely target someone vulnerable he could manipulate

Praising Marx and Engels just feels very pseud to me. There just aren't good proof of concepts for their way of thinking, regardless of how smart it might seem.

Case in point, Marx thought that the technological advances of the 19th century was going to lead to mass unemployment because the price of production was falling, which was lowering the prices of consumer goods. Marx failed to take into account that private business will just expand their business when production costs lowered.
Of course today we're facing the problem of automation replacing human workers, but that would be a alien concept to Marx, instead he seemed to have been swayed by luddites who thought the machines were going to take away manual labor.
