This is retarded :story:
I used to like him when he was the Happy Videogame nerd, but then...
You can really tell it's for petty shit like this. It's literally a 420 weed joke. This whole thing was a witch hunt waiting to happen due to his personal political stance & moreso since his collab with JonTron. Now they got something to latch onto.

Also, for more information, that soyboy in the picture is Derek Alexander aka Stop Skeletons From Fighting. He's the faggot who cancelled Koichi Sugiyama, & because of him, people in the US gravestanded him when the latter passed away.
There's barely, if any critique of the music in this video btw, it's just 22 mins of cope, bad jokes, & shitting on Sugiyama.

Derek's whole career before this was just being a mid AVGN spoof, now he will go on history for far worse.
This shit happened. That Sugiyama video made me peace out hard on anything from him, specially that harpy that is considered his mate, what an unlikeable bitch. The music for DQXI original launch was absolute SHIT and I almost dropped the game due to how bad it sounded, that was all you needed to focus on to throw shade at Sugiyama, but no, it had to become a virtue signal fest about how he's so MEAN and RIGHT WING and CHAUVINISTIC. Christ almighty, the need to virtue signal is absolute for these fucks.
 
In Bombers vid he shows a part where IH is reading the article, pauses and makes a side comment to make it sound like he's about to read a source he randomly found, and then continues to read the rest of the article where he left off (@ 1:33:30 in HB's vid)
I actually disagree with this framing on Hbomber's part. The but you're referring to has IH's "Harold" avatar show reading from a book. He pauses to say "now, what follows is an account from yada yada yada", then he clearly continues to read from the same book. I don't see that as him trying to make it sound line the next bit was from a different source.

That said, not citing the Mental Floss article at all is very odd. I don't think you can jump straight to saying it was malicious when it may have been a mistake. As others have pointed out, citations are usually given in his other videos like the Gentleman Pirate and Concordia ones. So clearly IH doesn't have a problem doing this.

Why didn't he do it here? I don't know, but I don't think it was to make out that he wasn't quoting other books and articles on a topic - again, his avatar is literally shown reading a book. Now that he's reuploaded with the acknowledgement, HBombs thing seems like making a mountain out of a molehill. He probably just wanted to make drama with a big name YouTube, knowing that hardly any non-gays know who that other guy is, whose copying was way more egregious.
 
Yes, everyone who drops the date 4/20 is worshiping Hitler, this is very real and I encourage every twitter warrior to go after anyone saying 420 safely assuming them to be actual nazis
That, and it's also the day that:
-Nutella was formed
-Columbie shooting had happened
-Mitchell Anderson became an hero all for an iPod
-the theatrical release of Freddy Got Fingered
 
Wanted to wait a few days - IH has been losing subscribers, but not a lot - he had 4.4 million on Sunday and now has 4 million. Anyone with than many subs loses people every time they post a video so it might just be that, he's too big to fail.

If he sticks to his current output, ignores the controversy and credits everyone going forward this will blow over. I think it's basically done already.

Honestly, with moronic fans like these

I really don't mind them leaving.
 
Watched wine video. I'm having a lot of fun with this series, that he can keep me engaged when I don't drink alcohol at all and consider wine "ruined grape juice" should say a lot. The theater one had more laughs for sure but I enjoyed it.

Also loved the segment with his made up chart of cost benefit and that pretty much applies to any and all hobbies and consumer goods. Loved the "this is my art, what value do you put on that?" "20 bucks!".

Same with the ending segment that although I still think wine autists are gigantic faggots, as a "miniature game enjoyer" (also known as little figurine faggot), I can get where they get their appeal from.

That, and it's also the day that:
-Nutella was formed
No wonder it's so delicious!

We should encourage nazis and stoners to mingle. The former could teach the latter about plans and discipline, and in return be taught how to not be so damn autistic and intense all the time. I see good results in the future.

Rate me optimistic but I don't think IH is really gonna be affected by these unsubs. His channel is content based, not personality based, and furthermore its also foreground viewing, not background viewing, so its not really replacable. It provides something unique you can't get elsewhere and you don't have anywhere to go if you don't like that content.
