You'd think to seem more legitimate they'd react something like "jfc I'd never do that lmao wtf is wrong with you," you know, like someone who doesn't have sex with their cat/a child. If Ben responded immediately with something along the lines of "I was trying to be edgy and failed miserably, I'm not a fucking pedophile, sorry for being an unfunny twat @JacobSattorius" The more you have to go into Clinton-esque essays about not being a kid diddler, the more you look like one.

You mean you don't buy the excuse that he was distracted by his mother dying (yet could somehow find enough time to check his Twitter, delete offending tweets and make two half asses 'apologies')?
 
Why did Ben write a goddamn essay about how he didn't have sexual relations with that child? Why not keep it short and post it on his twitter, where the controversy started? (Is it because he's more likely to get hugboxed on reddit?)
This could've been cleared up in a couple sentences, seemed more genuine for it, and guaranteed people read it.

I never bought Ben was an actual pedophile but ironically this apology is making me doubt that assessment.

Also, not to be too much of an asskisser but @supremeautismo's writeup about parasocial relationships, groupies and fan mentality was an excellent read. I wish I could give it a higher than Winner rating.

It's so the audience will relate better to him/see him as the victim that he wants to be seen as. What else would be the point behind explaining the origins of his Twitter handle? Or taking the time to explain his comedic preferences and how it was okay because he thought that humor was funny when he was a teen. Or gushing over how awesome Arin/the Grumps staff are when they - presumably - had no direct involvement with Ben's shenanigans? Or, the most disgraceful form of manipulation - using a dying relative to gain extra pity points from the fanbase?

Thanks; I attribute all of it to autism. Honestly though, the reddit post by that kid is fascinating. It's simultaneously heartening and unnerving hearing someone that young have that kind of self-awareness about disturbing thought processes, especially when it comes to obsession and e-fame. Most people, let alone kids, don't know what a 'parasocial relationship' is. Maybe the kids are alright.

Imagine having such a rabid fanbase a child discovers complex psychological concepts :story:

Also, on a separate note, here's a perfect example of a fanbase handling weird fans well; the other day on a Friends Without Benefits stream, they invited people to join their room for a game. Someone logged on with the name 'Loli', and one of the guys immediately said, "Nope, we aren't doing that," and kicked him, and changed the password for the room. The guys then proceeded to hard no the username, including the main guy streaming very clipped saying "Yeah, that guy would be a real asshole if he tried to get back in with that name."

This isn't an excessive reaction; these are guys shaming and therefore curating their audience. There's a fine line between being a dick and being assertive, but this exactly an example of how the Grumps should establish boundaries, but never will.

Upcoming r/conspiracygrumps thread - "Did Ben Kill His Own Mother With COOF To Avoid Pedophilia Charges?"

I've just realised, the Grumps in all their merchandise, on top of looking horrendous, are always drawn in flattering ways. They're always either cutesy looking, muscly like here, sleakly designed like the Grumps logo, sexualised for the body pillows and Game Gryaru tripe. They're never funny, or at least try to be, and I can't tell if that's Dan and Arin being vain or that's just how their fans see them (more than likely both).

Why do lovelies always describe and draw Arin as muscular or (ugh) "beefy?" He went from lanky to fat. They never seemed to have any issue drawing Jon as fat, but Arin still has a beardless Grump head and is drawn like Jean-Claude Van Damm.

Compare this design (which isn't even as garish as some of their merch has been) to this:

starbomb 01.jpg

Simple, aesthetically appealing, retro-ish, complimentary colors. Good merch is merch that you can wear outside without looking like a total nerd. You can give a fellow weirdo an enthusiastic head nod over your mutual love of a band that was borne out of adult men yelling at Sonic games and making poop jokes, without completely outing yourself as a sperg.

Even at your greasiest.

Also, 10,000 points to this hero who just psuedo d.oxxed themselves ("them," who are we kidding, this is clearly a woman.) And tagging Game Grumps in the post, for further visibility. These are the people keeping the channel alive and paid for.

Edit 'cause it was already brought up, but this cover isn't 'bad' per se, but it's the same issue as with all of Ninja Sex Party and Starbomb--it sounds soulless. The notes are right, but there's no passion behind it, even for a cringe Linkin Park song. It's just a typical "Youtube musician" sound that's plagued the platform since people got decent enough cameras around 2009 to spam the website with milquetoast covers. Feh.

This is gonna be me being autistic, but I just want to explain looking at this comparison how badly their designs have gotten, and why people buying this shit are considered even worse sheep then the Supreme faggots.

I'm an avid fan of the color wheel and bringing out the best in light/dark.

The original Starbomb works well since the neon colors(lights) are brought out better through the shirt being black. It's vibrant and in your face letting you get the message across without your eyes needing to focus on it. There's a mix of colors (because Arin), but they work because they're brought out by the black (Making it legible very quickly). The biggest problem this shirt has is real estate. Why the fuck am I looking at a logo three times when you can instead just make one big one? If you want to put something else on the back that's fine, but one is enough.

The other design made the horrible choice of picking red (from my angle probably just a solid red color). While it's kinda dark the first problem you have is the light pink going into the red, since the colors are so similar it looks like the shirt is being bled into which is always a fucking nope. Add in that the shirt is red and primary mixed with a bunch of rainbow colors and your eyes need to focus to see what the fuck is going on with the logo. Then like the first shirt you also think it's stupid why it's repeated three times, and question who the fuck thought this shirt was good as a whole?

In terms of their new shirt that makes me want to gouge my eyes, it's Arin flaunting his rainbow candy ass all over. There is waaaaay too much shit going in color wise and it actually hurts my eyes looking at pictures of it on here paired with the white stock background. Nothing better than trying to grasp what the fuck their design is and causing your eyes to hurt in the process at first glance.

I know I'm gonna be a little off topic but compare Supermega's Merch to GG's at least design wise.

Dark colors with light colors make it way more appealing to look at naturally. Even if the merch they have is using lights for the majority they still remember to have darker shading around text or keeping it a focus in the design because it makes sense (like the shopping bag design). The big thing these designs get down is that you're only using a couple of colors, because if you keep going it becomes a fucking trainwreck to the eyes because they're processing WAAY more then they normally should.

Why in the holy mother of fuck would ANY MAN do THAT kind of pose to promote their fucking shirt?

When I look at this picture, it tells me that this man is either mentally retarded, a 4 year old in a grown man's body, or is EXTREMELY gay.

Either way, not only does it NOT make me want to buy that specific shirt, but it pretty much repels me from everything else this fucker is selling.

I feel like his fanbase is just nothing but 12-15 year old kids and, for some reason, middle aged woke white dudes. I guess this is what those two age groups have in common?
