Youtubers teetering on the edge of cowdom - Who is next to fall from grace, and why?

[The High Prophet of Truth]

Yeah especially his anti-vax videos or how before the election he kept going on about how he was totally not right wing and impartial despite his pandering to rightwingers.


The thing is that with the text he writes he goes conspiracy mode at times like a lunatic especially with his recent video where he went full QTard

That's not being a Qtard, that's just pointing out how all those "elites using baby blood to remain forever young" theories are now a possible reality.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Tats is a detractor. He used to show up in Tevin streams.

Wait, are you trying to say that him being DSP detractor somehow saves him from being a cow? I hope, you aren't, otherwise I have really-really bad news for you (also, we can almost add Memespic to the pile).

I'd go with LGR and Sarah Wilson(PUR) having a co-thread. LGR for crazy on-off beards and coming DANGEROUSLY close to going full bore psycho with Sarah Wilson. He still tweets at Sarah who wouldn't sleep with his ass if her life depended on it. He's also gone off the rails lately with the MIDI stuff and so much garbage on blerbs. His only real saving grace is low drama.

Pushing Up Roses, Sarah Wilson, is a fairly major cow though in comparison. She's got a whole incredible history of mental illness. Really one of the creepier women online, up there with Lupa and Marzgurl among others.

I say this with a heavy heart, but I think Karl Kasarda of InrangeTV might be going off the deep end. He's very conscious of OpSec and IT, so we probably won't see any juicy dox, but his content's been getting increasingly political for my tastes. His January 2021 Q&A had a suprise guest made suspicious by the mask and the choker:

Fucking hell, Karl.

Quoting this post from ages ago because I finally found what I had on the troon guest. Couldn't find my posts but found the screen shots I took. Posts will be archived out there somewhere if I posted them.

I used to really like LGR, but stopped watching him cuz algorithm, but watched a couple of his videos recently and not a lot seems different.

I'd be interested in knowing more.

His actual LGR videos are getting rarer and rarer and he's using another channel called LGR Blerbs to do more and more. They are really a lot worse, in general. I loved/love his Tech tales series and Thrifting ones, and other LGR stuff. But blerbs plain sucks. He'll spend an hour setting up MIDI and play it for like 15 minutes. You kinda had to be a patreon and watch him and PUR's paywalled content to really see them trying to do videos. It was awkward and you could clearly tell she was playing him like a fiddle.

Like I said, he's just getting on the verge, kinda like clownfish/thequartering have gotten. That 'jumping the shark now' area.

 

[Jason Wynn]

I haven’t watched LGR for awhile now because all the MIDI stuff he’s been focused on hasn’t really interested me. Used to love his Tech Tales, Thrifting and game reviews but those seem to be a rarity now.

he’s still simping/acting like a thirsty loser over PUR though? That’s sad

 

[Lillee Jean Laur Trueman]

There's this channel called iiluminaughtii that does relatively average content about Multi-Level-Marketing scams and other instances of corporate corruption, but she has also touched on Autism Speaks and PETA:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lskdAnvDNVw&t=211s

She has always given off the air of snooty superiority that most creators of her type tend to give off, but lately there has been some infighting with her peers and accusations of manipulation, along with performing poor research (A youtuber? Doing bad research? The thought of it!) being levied against her:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcT-UBngsKw&t=1s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeFFEoLVWI8&t=18s

She also has a second channel that seems to be less edited and kind off shows off her winning attitude a little bit more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGKqtyg4iLE

I watched her for a while, I should have noticed she does shit research and tries so hard to sound righteous. I think a good example would be a video about that one beauty person Kat Von D. So many of the points in that video were just huge reaches. It's an older video but I think it shows some of her cow traits.

Like the point that one of Kat Von D's boyfriends has a swastika tattooed on his neck.

Except that's a Buddhist swastika. She brings it up, then gives a little bit of history on it then basically says "The symbol was used by Nazis, so people will associate it with Nazis! Just don't use the symbol anymore!"

She also brings up a lipstick being named Selektion. The German word for selection, but because Nazis used it it's wrong.

There's other solid points she made that Kat Von D is bad, but these ones are just reaching and spreading misinformation. Also she sounds like the youtuber Cecil Mcfly, but I think that's just a coincidence.

She's the kind of person to get mad at 'cultural appropriation' but when the nazis stole a symbol and it became associated with them, every Buddhist should give that up. Most of whom are not from the west and barely care about the people sperging about a war that ended over 70 years ago, and many of whom are currently being oppressed by a government that a majority of the west actively supports. (China). But of course we can ignore that.

What did you expect from a person with an animated cartoon avatar? Also, that swastika has David's star inside it.

EDIT: Also, I am sure if I turn all the crosses in church upside down, it's congregation won't beat the shit out of me and just say "eh, it's still a cross". I am sure, if I turn all the US flags upside down at some US army base, soldiers aren't gonna beat the shit out of me and just say "ah, I still can recognize it". I am sure if authors father would've fucked her mother in mouth instead of vagina, she would be born anyway.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

This guy's a massive douche. Used to just make decent at best videos covering some big cases in law and then during the BLM disaster started to convert his channel to hop on the virtue signalling gravy train. I guess it hasn't derailed yet. Maybe he'll eventually do something dumb enough to get cancelled?

Is he homosexual?

Not a fan of any of these people, but the video seems to be more of a critics say summary of controversies that cancelled Kat von D, the vast majority of which were objectively stupid, supported by a poor understanding of everything outside of makeup. It's not that she's only getting it wrong now, while documenting it.

 

[L50LasPak]

I would say Nuxtaku who is a cringy anime youtuber who makes these annoying videos made for young children where he has this incredibly annoying voice that makes you want to rip your ears out. He also has stolen artwork without credit for the thumbnails for his videos and allegedly his persona was a trace over of someone else's Sans fanart. He comes across simultaneously both as an annoying retard and a pretentious douche.

Nuxtaku is a frustrating character since he can't let go of his smug persona at all, but at the moment he's far too self-aware to become an actual lolcow. Whenever he gets caught up in some sort of controversy he always finds a way to slip out from under it. Dude seems to legit have the ability to read a room and knows how to pander to his fanbase to keep them loyal.

I think his time will come when he just gets too old to keep the persona up. He'll have to start making less energetic content at some point, which I don't think will come easily to him at all. Its possible he'll be able to sense that his time is up and more or less retire, but I doubt it.

Maybe it's because I'm not into MIDI stuff, but I've lost interest in LGR as well. That said, he's been going for over 10 years now and there's probably only so much he can do with vintage computer and retrogaming show-and-tells.

he’s still simping/acting like a thirsty loser over PUR though? That’s sad

I wouldn't have picked Clint as being a thirsty dude. Probably wouldn't have even known that were it not for this thread.

Still not sure if a stale channel and a bit of simping is enough to make someone a cow, though. TBH I could see The 8-Bit Guy becoming a lolcow; he's a much bigger sperg than Clint.

 

[Spunt]

I'm surprised about Clint too. Whilst LGR isn't as interesting as it used to be (though if I was a MIDI sperg I'd probably enjoy his recent content more) I wouldn't have Clint down as a cow. In fact, I thought he was gay - when the E3 guest list got leaked, he was on it along with another man registered to the same address who shared his surname so I assumed it was a husband, but maybe it was his father or brother he took to E3 with him? Either way, not making such good videos and having a crush on another Youtuber do not a cow make by a very long way imo.

 

[mlanguishi]

That's why I wouldn't put LGR in his own thread. His major problems have been from PUR who I'd make the primary cow. If he's gay he sure seemed thirsty for her for a long time. Lots of weird flirty let's plays and he went and visited her in Chicago a few years back. He seems more of the hapless nerd incel type to me. If he's actually married to a dude I would think there'd be more exposure. Another one is Chris Stuckman when he came out pansexual.

I'm looking at some that are flying high now like The Critical Drinker and wondering when they'll eventually crash and burn. James Rolfe's high was many years ago and he still has fans, but also does lolz worthy acts.

Fuck it, I agree with those that say 'All Youtubers' really. When it comes down to it, Simon Whistler and all of them will eventually flame out and burn. Not all of them leave a Spoony or Wings spectacular trail. PUR also has that TGWTG legacy which instantly makes her a cow.

are there any screenshots/videos of this behaviour? Ive watched LGR for a while and never came across any of this on his channel

I don't think there were any outside his Patreon and that was awhile back before I realized how supporting shitty people that way is bad. It was pretty weird. This was when she still doing games and they'd play 90s adventure games together. Unless anyone else has archives somewhere, it was all behind a paywall.

Edit: It might've been her Patreon. Embarrassingly I gave them both a few bucks for about 6 months.

What's the 8-bit guy done? Haven't seen anything on YT that's more cowish than LGR or any of these retro computing guys.
