Let's Players originating from Something Awful - ft. VoidBurger, General Ironicus, Bob Kamoc

[Petronella]

Voidburger does strike me as the type of person who would be really into getting high recreationally.

She's mentioned a few times that she occasionally smokes weed to treat her anxiety and I want to say there's also a video where she talks about trying edibles.

"Jontron hates immigrants"

do these people know Jon is the son of middle eastern immigrants?

He disagreed with a liberal white woman, this invalidating all of his Oppression Points apparently.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Yeah, by that point the VoidBurger identity already existed for a while.

Meanwhile, our resident businesswoman engages in some newsjacking of recent Pewdiepie drama to desperately shill her brand. Bonus Jontron mentions.

In case you're not up to date on shitty youtber drama: a month ago Pewdiepie paid two Indians to wear a sign saying "Kill all Jews" not thinking they would actually do it. They did, controversy happened, he deleted the video and apologized.
Now, a month later, the Washington Journal contacted Disney to tell them Pewdiepie made this video. Disney immediately removes him from MakerStudios, their agency for all the big youtubers, and cancels his stuff. Now every news site is screaming "ANTISEMITIC MAN GETS FIRED FROM DISNEY".

The biggest laugh I get from this is that the media has been reduced to reporting Youtubers to big bad Disney for clicks.

Everyone I don't like is a racist, including immigrants from the Middle East. A literal retarded child's guide to political discussion.

Voidburger really went down the SJW rabbit hole.

VoidBurger is unable to tolerate dissenting opinions, part 3:

I have to say, I am very, very tired of Funko hate from these sorts of morons. (Exhibit A - an unbelievably spergy article written by Bob Mackey, mentioned in passing earlier in the thread.)

I was going to say that sometimes it's too easy for us to shit on these people any time they express an opinion on anything.

But why the fuck does anyone care about some bobblehead toys?

1) It's the insufferable attitude that no one should like Funko Pop that makes it exceptional. (The linked article is a chore to read because it assumes this attitude and sounds ridiculously patronizing - maybe even MovieBob-esque - as a result). And of course they apply this view to much more serious matters (as 99% any of their politics-orientated content illustrates).

2) Any time you ask "why would anyone care?", there's only really one answer.

Spoiler: Predictable but true

:autism:

 

[Autismo]

Funko Pops are real ugly to be fair. I don't really care if people buy them though

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

What you have to understand is that if you buy a funkopop of Donald Trump, then what you are really saying is that you do not care about me or my safety, or the safety of black people, women, muslims...

 

[Dingfield]

Did they JUST discovered people might have different tastes? So what if they like funko pops? Nothing gets more autistic than being elitistic over plastice figures.

 

[Super Collie]

I think a lot of the reason why collectors dislike Funko Pop figurines is because they sort of helped popularize the trend of "big head, small body, cutesy face" that has become a noticeable trope in collectibles recently. Generally, the people who I know that dislike Funko products are also people whose collections focus on realistic/lifelike replications of characters.

 

[Petronella]

It's diet soc jus. The "everybody I disagree with politically is a fascist Nazi" mindset gets extended to "anyone who likes something I don't like/doesn't like something I like is literal garbage y'all"

 

[whatever I feel like]

Well I don't like Funkos but its not like I think other people have to agree with me. I guess what I'd say is that actually collecting them is impossible because there's just so fucking many, so I don't see the point in buying them from a collector's point of view and from a fan's point of view they don't really look like the actual thing they are supposed to be.

I hate 'em mainly because I think of those Lootcrate services people pay like 20 bucks a month for and that's usually the "big" item in them if it's surface pop culture stuff. I equate them to disappointment because of it.

Do find it funny that Voidburger is so mindblind as to not realize that her "Do what I want" attitude comes off as hypocritical due to her inability to live and let live.

 

[Tonberry]

Whoa, hang on, someone on the internet likes those bighead dolls of popular characters? I better start writing about how those are shit and my slightly more detailed, five times more expensive bighead dolls of relatively obscure characters are way better.
Man, it feels so good to be right about everything all the time.

I feel bad for these people, because the only way they'll ever be able to feel like they have achieved anything will come from buying shit, which is inharmonious with their idiotic teenage leftist leanings. Everything about their personal actualization and image of self is 100% tied up in brands of shit they use and figureheads spouting inane platitudes that give them a case of the fuzzies. They will never know the feeling of actual accomplishment or understand what it feels like to be at peace within their own heads because every moment has to be spent either acquiring plastic bullshit to make them feel better or trying to rationalize said bullshit with their own childish social beliefs. I mean if these people weren't so hyper-self involved and cowardly about everything you'd expect a massive suicide rate out of them

On a more serious note, we can now add Void to the list of people who follow open pedophile Sarah Nyberg:

 

[Emperor Julian]

So voidburger has severe emotional issues? Yeah I can see why she thought a highly public politically outspoken persona was the way to go.

I'm actually surprised when an SJW doesn't follow her now.

Really, it's just a matter of time.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

The soc jus agenda is to force kids to troon out then normalize pedophelia.

Sick Nick Nyberg is just the start.
