Just take some more time on it. Or don’t bother making a video about something you’ve admitted to not knowing anything about.He did the whole video (writing, recording, editing) in a little over a day. He claimed he had been awake for 27 hours straight.
It still is shit, but is a well polished turd.
Glad he decided to tweet this out rather than just include it in a video. A joke that funny truly deserves a spotlight unto itself.Here is Q’s tweet about rittenhouseView attachment 1841890
The issue at the core of this, I think, is his total inability to project self-esteem and confidence. It doesn’t even need to be sincere, but people like Lindsay Ellis and Contra give off the vibe that they’re comfortable in their own skin and confident in their own beliefs (even when they obviously aren’t).I feel the bigger problem is that Quinton wants to be in two main demographics.
1) The cartoon/movie/review/internet culture demographic made up of people like Saberspark,Phelous,Linkara,Salty, etc. The types of people who make "haha funni" videos and allow their personalities to speak for themselves even if the topic has already been talked about prior. Or will be in the same sphere they'll eventually talk about.
and
2) Breadtube.
The problem is those two communities do not mix, and while I'd say it's easier to drift from 2 to 1, it's way harder going from 1 to 2. Quinton already set up his character as the self humiliating, Garfield obssessed, faggot and trying to be taken seriously about politics and hot takes the first reaction I think a majority's first thought would be something like "Didn't you used to review all the fairly odd parents live action movies? Why are you talking about politics now?"
The people who are going into political takes about Trump and LGBTQ rights issues are not going to say "Oh yeah I really care first about what Quintonreviews thinks about it this." over someone like Contrapoints or even people like The Right Opinion or Turkey Tom etc. People who from inception focused their channels in common field and even if the latter two aren't mainly political they do go into those topics from time to time.
The perfect idiom for Quinton is without a doubt "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Ellis (again she is still a cow do not forget this) gave up the title of "Nostalgia Chick" to become more involved in her own little epicenter and stopped caring about the rest of her former self to devote into one field. Sacrifices gotta be made dude, and unless your topic can fall into that category like a glove (Like TRO enjoying video games and talking about a video game focused discussion topic) you will come out not hitting your mark on both sides.
That idiom also works because Quinton is fat so it's a twofor.
Self-effacing jokes are fine, post-ironic Garfield love is fine, but when it’s so obvious that you’re desperate to crawl into a bush and die nobody’s going to have any faith in your hot Drumpf takes. If he were to wash himself, dress adequately and just project a bit of confidence he could make the transition. But the self-hatred is too strong.
