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

[AnOminous]

I never even heard of either of these morons before this thread so I'm just wondering what kind of "cognitive dissonance" these idiots are sperging about. I've just read their responses to this thread and they're ridiculous.

Since I know you're reading this VB, I feel like I should let you know what I feel from the point of view of someone who used to really like/respect you and the content that you created. I watched you many years ago, the Silent Hill LPs that you put out were some great content. You seemed very knowledgeable about the games and the universe, I feel like I learned a lot about Silent Hill from watching you play.

But you have this problem of doubling down and not knowing how to argue. The first time I noticed this was during your gameplay footage of the Outlast Bridesmaker DLC where you claimed that the game was sexist because it was implying that "making men into women was a bad thing" despite the fact that it was trying to invoke a feeling of body-horror by showing these men being mutilated by a psychopath. Now, I vaguely see how you could make that mistake. Everybody has lapses in judgment and it's okay, how you handled the feedback about it however is akin to a child.

Instead of taking the criticism that people had for you to heart, you doubled down on it. Over and over and over again. Instead of doing any degree of self reflection and re-evaluating your opinion on the subject, you threw whiny bitch fits about it online, ignored completely valid points and called people sexist, misogynistic, etc simply because they didn't agree with you. Then when people didn't drop it, and kept bringing it up, you called them weirdos for "not letting go". It's absolutely shocking how dense you displayed yourself to be in that moment and that's exactly when I lost a ton of respect for you. I wasn't a kiwifarms poster, I wasn't part of some kind of organized group dedicated to harassing you, I was someone from SomethingAwful who regularly watched LPers who formulated these thoughts completely on my own volition.

The people who dislike you aren't all evil sexist misogynist Trump-voting shitlords, most of us are people who are capable of reading between the lines and seeing how poisonous you are deep down. You have a really tainted personality. You are incapable of receiving feedback and you seem to think that your word and your opinions are the be-all end-all answers and anybody who disagrees with you you lump into some group that you hate so that you can safely dismiss them. I'm sure you've already come up with some word for me so that you can disregard my opinion too.

Oh and just because someone has differing political opinions from you doesn't give you free-reign to make fun of them for their physical appearance. That recent argument you got into about calling that man short was completely uncalled for. You made a mistake and you refused to admit it, going so far to make the argument of "well my short boyfriend doesn't mind when I called that man short, so hah!" Clearly you find being short a subject of mockery if you're using it to attack people you disagree with. "Giving him a taste of his own medicine" isn't what having an argument is about. It's akin to saying "I'm okay with LGBT people, but that guy is a flaming fucking faggot."

Bob Kamoc weighs in:

Any time I read anything he says I remember his face pics and I start giggling. He looks like the poster boy for a past his prime "male-feminist". Does he have a girlfriend? Wife? Kids? Or is he all alone in this world?

 

[Ravana]

He does very well for himself making videos sperging out about a channel that makes videos sperging out about movies

The problem is that he's such a bitter failure it's clear-as-day obvious even to people with no internet detective skills.

Yeah, that's the latest from Bobby boy.

This is the high quality content that Polygon "missed out on" when they didn't hire him. As Bob says:

And to cap that saga off, he eventually reached a truly exceptional conclusion:

Also, let's have an update from Void and Psych shall we?

Reading her tweet, makes it sound like she believes it's just 1 or 2 people trolling her on the question sites. Perhaps she thinks the same of KF?

Oh Void, I can guarantee there's more than just 1 or 2 people that believe you're insufferable.

 

[DuckSucker]

I dont understand why they keep saying we overplayed our hand. We knew you were reading the thread, we said it multiple times. We never accused you of being paranoid of gang-stalking we said you were paranoid for thinking it was only 1 or 2 people who care about you a whole lot. When in reality it's a bunch of people who dont really care about you all that much, but think youre kind of a narcissistic jerk.

 

[BlueSpark]

She deactivated her curiouscat.me and ask.fm accounts..

I got a lot of her ask.fm before she deleted it:

Hit the download button at the top then open the html file in Chrome or another browser (though other browsers seem to not display it as well as Chrome).

Also, Psychedelic Cuckball has a moment of clarity and questions VB intentionally feeding trolls. I wonder whether he regrets losing his SA account over VB and her Girl On The Internet Syndrome. (Or was he one of the ones that got it back?)

 

[BlueChan]

I'm fairly certain she might actually be emotionally hurt by this, which is a little surprising to be honest. The best case scenario is her using her time off to reflect on herself and realize what's wrong with her, but that's obviously just pure talking. More than likely she'll be back (relatively) soon, talking shit once again exactly as she did before.

On a lighter note, on occasion her tweets strike me as having the same sort of structure as another Twitter-famous person:

Since you're now reading this thread consistently Voidburger, I'll just comment that it isn't stalking when I'm just shitposting on this website; I don't give enough of a fuck to bother looking for the stupid shit you say. Nor is it stalking when you throw your uneducated opinions onto social media, a public forum where assholes like me can then proceed to pour acid salt all over it.

Psychadelic at least got it; you don't respond and you don't wind up exploding the thread... but eh, what's there to expect from a wash-up NEET who never could be arsed to do what a hyperactive Swedish guy was able to do in less time. Not only that, but a wash-up who refuses to even get a McJob and instead lives by leeching off of someone who does hold said career.

Saying you ain't mad doesn't ignore the fact you're too retarded to not respond.

Stalking
Noun
stalking (countable and uncountable, plural stalkings)
1. The crime of responding to the words I knowingly and deliberately put on a public venue with your own words also on said public venue that don't agree with mine, completely disrespecting the fact that I already said what the truth is and how dare you think you also get to speak in a public arena the same way I do


...Dude, that's the definition straight from Wiktionary. You're guilty as fuck.

 

[Adamska]

What is she going to do, act all passive aggressively, sperg she ain't mad, all while doing nothing with her fucked life? Because that's also why the right won big last year.

So PsychedelicEyball posted a picture of himself. He was at a young kid's B-Day party which explains the mask, in fact, more power to him for trying to make his nephew have a good B-Day.

I'm not posting this to make fun of his specific appearance or anything like that, but simply to pose this question: Why is it, that 99% of all the male SA LPers (or just Let's Players in general), poke fun at "neckbeards", yet.....ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE A NECKBEARD...or at least very unkempt facial hair.

Am I reading too much into this?

how dare he abuse his nephew on the internet like this i'm getting banned from his forum in protest

 

[RJ MacReady]

Chip's about to start streaming. Someone should keep an eye out of the VOD later because odds are they won't be able to resist discussing this thread.

That's not at all how I envisioned him from his voice.

 

[Honeybunny]

I always imagined him as some curly-haired odball who wears tacky sweaters

Guess I got the latter part sort-of right

Spoiler: Editing

I'm glad she's not afraid to admit that her amazing editing can be summed up to just cutting up the raw video here and there. But it seems she still completely missed my point there, as usual.


This whole mess reminded me of one of VB's internet friends, DameHasClass. You know, the one who accused Lowtax of exploiting his daughter? She got a whole bunch of harassing tweets for that, including from Taxman himself, and her reaction was to almost immediately make her twitter profile private, completely stay away from all the twitter drama that ensued and lay low for the following two to three weeks. Sure, it helps that she's even more of a nobody than most of the LPers in this thread, but by the time she came back everybody had forgotten all about her.
At first I thought this was a really childish and cowardly thing to do. But looking at VB do the exact opposite of that for about three months, I'm starting to feel like that was a pretty smart choice. If she'd just started to reply to every single anonymous taunting she got, I'm pretty sure this thread would have a spot just for her.
