Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

[TheClorax]

Is "The man in the Suit" really popular? It's the most retarded thing I'd ever heard in my life. It makes the monument mythos look coherent.

There was a stint where a lot of the Godzilla/Kaiju community were dunking on it for how lame and nonsensical it was. The creator of the series who’s in… middle school/high school I think(?) saw all of the shit being thrown their way, got really sad, and considered quitting it entirely.

So then people overcorrected WAY too hard and anything less than glowing praise for it is seen as bullying now.

People really need to understand just because something was done by a minor shouldn't exclude them from criticism. Not harsh, scathing criticism, no, just general criticism, even ones that have no substance and are mere "yeah this is really on-the-mill man what is this" ones. But I get it, they're a minor and probably aren't used to negative comments—which for the average teen, yeah, I can see why he was so upset. All I can say to him is to ignore the ones lacking substance and focus on the ones that have actual criticisms of the video. Critiquing a video made by a minor's different from harassing that minor.

Is he obligated to care for them generally? No. But it's highly recommended. Though, who am I kidding? He got his minor card, he got his orbiters, he can ignore all the (genuine) criticisms and continue doing what he wants. More power to him or whatever. He got that merch line with Makeship. He's just another bloke on the list of "powerpoint slideshow horror" creators who got big. Just hope he doesn't let everything get to him and cause him to do erratic things like we've already seen other Analog Horror creators do.

Funny still, a lot of people who defend MitS are still giving that Urbanspook guy shit for The Painter. Frankly, I’d rather watch Painter over Man in the Suit. Knock on the cheap, gratuitous descriptions of graphic violence and rape all you want, but least it isn’t just a black and white filter slapped over an established IP, and has it’s own original artwork.

In my opinion, ARG/Analog content is in desperate need of it’s own Cabin in the Woods-style satire.

Just a series that profusely mocks everything the trend and genre have become. The desperate attempts to be a mascot horror (Welcome Home), the series entirely reliant on established IPs (Man in the Suit, all the Marvel/DC/Jurassic Park/Disney analog series out there) the ones completely derivative of better material (Midwest Angelica, Woodlands National Park), and the ridiculous double standards and clownery of the community that consumes it.

Behold, life-ruining bullying. Not pictured: death threats.



Weird how that's a common theme when someone's feelings get hurt enough. We always hear of death threats, and there's always second hand accounts of them. Then when you look for a death threat, you don't see anything.

Fellas, I'm prepared to eat crow on this- but I don't see any such death threats. I feel like this is a recurring theme online. Does anyone have proof these terrifying internet posts happened?

"Racist"? "Thrown in prison"? What's going on there?

 

[Bob Barbas]

"Literally springtrap but racist"

 

[JesusChristDenton]

"Racist"? "Thrown in prison"? What's going on there?

I haven't seen it in a while but IIRC one of the main traits of The Man in the Suits well, Man in the Suit is that he absolute despises the US for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think that at some point his hatred towards the US eventually boils over into a hatred for people in general.

Also after remembering a certain furry deviant I just remembered some discourse in this thread about TMITS being the authors barely disguised fetish. While it honestly sounds like a reach, considering what the average tranalog horror creator tends to be like, it wouldn't shock me in the slightest.

It's to the point The Man in the Suit gets furious over the King Kong crossover and I think he just kills the man in the King Kong suit. The most unbelievable thing about this series is a movie studio somehow having the power to cover up the supernatural shit and deaths happening in every movie.

has anyone had any luck joining a horror-based discord server that isnt retarded?
I wanna use discord more as I havent really used-used it in awhile, not in a social sense. I'm talking 2019-2020 is when I stopped using it in regards to truly interacting with servers. Last server I was in was the Nexpo server, back before Nexpo's content became uninteresting.
it was semi decent. It was the last decent horror-based discord I have seen. While I could always join it again I don't want to because I don't watch Nexpo's content anymore. And I have the feeling it just probably isn't the same anymore.

Thats the thing, man. Is it me or was there a time where discord servers werent overtly autistic? Pronouns, systems, etc. I tried joining edgy servers but fuck those are somehow worse because its nonstop fedposting and stuff like hardcore incel-based pornrot. Its too edgy to the point theres no disscusion and everyone is trying to act cooler than the other.

I dont care about the pronoun stuff, but I do draw the line when it comes to all the DID nonsense and fandom fujo safe edgy fake culture. I dunno man. It feels like most servers are about people pretending to be cool or interesting while not having any real conversations.

I absolutely hate edgy discords. I joined one so bad that it made me delete the app. Since then I've been a free man since.

All the shit Urbanspook gets. Turned out of all the analog horror series that could be turned into a movie, The painter series is the best candidate. Not only is the painter the easiest, because it is a slasher at heart. Terrifier 3's success at the box office proves there is an untapped market for gross out shock horror. Hell Terrifier 3 also killed the narrative zoomers who all want safe space horror with nothing edgy or offensive. Enough teenagers sneak into Terrifier 3 by buying tickets to the wild robot. It's helping the wild robot smash Joker 2 at the box office. Yes. Journalists were not happy about the 3 million dollar budget, Terrifier 3 destroying a 200 million dollar joker 2 at the box office.

 

[Mrsneksnekson]

Considering the discussion think this comic is relevant

 

[Blonrad Blurze]

I don't really care for the Terrifier franchise. The dude that plays Art seems really chill and cool though.

 

[ReasonablyRetarded]

It never were just "zoomers" outright that wanted safe horror, it's just that modern horror & the people who are the most "passionate" (If you want to call it that) and most vocal about it fall into the categories of:
-genuine autists
-people who collect self-diagnoses like autism as if they're pokemon.
-"enlightened" individuals, the type that have a slightly above average intelligence but enough hubris and ego to make prime Hulk Hogan shit his tights.

The over representative nature of them in dialogue about horror online comes simply from the fact that the venn diagram of being part of any of these groups & being chronically online is pretty much a circle.

It's also why this over correction from criticism to overly-coddly comes from. These faggots almost exclusively run in spaces where things are always personal. Criticism is never truly only towards the product, the person behind it and their arbitrary characteristics always weigh into the census.

It's always pretty amusing how some of the more celebrated analogs arguably profit more from real life tragedy than shit like The Painter, yet the community is not the wiser. You've the previously discussed Casanas inserting school shootings into the Monument Mythos (which already was the government is using anomalies to deal with dissenters), you've Kister using real life missing people and criminal portrait recreations in the early stages of the Mandela Catalogue and then you've shit like this.

The fetish aspect is very likely but at its core the thing all of these creators have in common with VivziePop is being power fantasies with no bite and no real stakes where the bad guys aren't bad, the good guys aren't good and you can turn off your brain. We are experiencing a rebrand of the zombie craze and now everyone thinks they would survive or bond with the monster.

The Man in the Suit already inspired aesthetically the Batman analog (which is our personal punching bag in the analog thread) and TMITS is only better because its creator knows English good. On one hand, I want to be excited for young creators trying to make their own stories and using a format that covers their limitations, as in when you discover Marble Hornets you want to make your own story like it but don't have a camera or friends or talent or experience, but so far we haven't found a single one that rises above as a truly gifted writer.

What stops a bunch of young creators from sharing their stuff is precisely that they fear not being good enough, which is a natural fear to have and all of us that create have experienced in some capacity. But it exists for a reason, you need that feedback to grow, you can get better and no matter how hard you hit it out of the park then you'll believe you could've done better with what you know now. Analog is suffering from the opposite problem creepypastas had in that instead of banishing stagnation they embrace it as their identity. For kiwis and lurkers FINALLY putting their own stories online or on the phase to do so, do it because it can't be worse than what we have now.

-"enlightened" individuals, the type that have a slightly above average intelligence but enough hubris and ego to make prime Hulk Hogan shit his tights.

I disagree. I refuse to believe anyone who supports safe edgy horror has an above average intelligence. It could be understandable if they support it while being a minor, kids are naive. But to hold that stance as an adult, especially since these people usually have kushy upbringings, makes them a tard.

IQ isn't about memorizing information and parroting it, it's about understanding the information given and using logic/reasoning. It's also about having emotional maturity, something I feel like is often forgotten about especially considering the BS programs such as the concept of being "gifted", when in reality most of those kids grow up to be average if not below average.
You can be book smart all you want, but if you act like 15yr old emotionally then you'll always be retarded.

Sneed bless 'em, these are the kind of hijinks I love.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

New video, I haven't heard of most of these. The modern shock site is something I wish there were more of. People need to fear the Internet and clicking links again.

Terrifier has been popular with nonbinary types basically since the first one.

Tried watching this and was mostly bored. First case is interesting I guess but I heard about it a few years ago. People with common sense should expect any website they've never heard of before to be a shock attempt.
I do wonder if any of the clips located in the domestic abuse shock site have ever been sourced though.

 

[Commander X]

Besides all of the crap that was crap from the start, what's really annoying is how anything even mildly interesting in horror online gets copied, diluted, ripped off and turned into steaming piles of bowdlerized material. The concept of liminal spaces being a horror in of themselves got boiled down into "yellow room". Analog horror became "VHS filter over weird face/blurry shot of a mascot costume/blurry photo of a mugshot/etc." and in the current environment of memes and algorithm farming this sort of watering down and knocking-off happens even quicker.
