Some bad takes on bob

I am too. I actually don't know much about Moviebob; I've just heard his name tossed around by Yahtzee and Jack Packard.

I tried to find a video about his firing to find out what it was about since I heard he was "fired for his views". That can mean a lot of things, good and bad. I found a video on You Tube talking about it, but within minutes it turned into aggressively grave-dancing the demise of an "One of the biggest SJW reviewers", which told me two things. One, no explanation of what had happened coming from this guy was going to be meritorious and two, I should definitely check out some of Moviebob's work.

People who piss off people who like to scream about "SJWs" generally have some pretty good things to say.

He parted ways with the Escapist after management decided to embrace Lamergate. Then new management decided to be not evil, and he and Shamus Young were invited back. More recently, he's left again, but according to himself it's just because his contract ended

comes up, there's a bunch of people in rural areas who start wailing about it instantly and a lot of American politicians seem to want to please those people all the time. They're mostly whipped up by Fox News and Bob is really overstating the issue those people are.

The thing that bothers me about the sort of hate mob he has is that a lot of it is based on stuff that...is either wrong or not weird. Like, half the people who mob him on Twitter will post a picture of an overweight man in a Mario costume, apparently under the impression the picture is Bob. It's not, it's some other guy that doesn't actually look much like him at all, but it's apparently supposed to be a devastating attack? Also something about him skipping his grandmother's funeral to play a video game (didn't happen) and something about him marinating chicken in Mountain Dew once. Not actually that strange, using soda as a marinade is pretty common in a lot of places. He did make that eugenics joke though. And it was pretty obviously a joke because of how over the top it was. It was a terrible joke that he shouldn't have made, to be clear.

My read on him is that he's a really good media analyst when he wants to try, has kind of an iffy sense of humor, and he really doesn't deserve the hate mob he attracted, if only because of their bizarre incoherency and insistence on attacking him on specific, wrong, things.

The thing with the picture of the other guy is especially weird because like, Bob has videos with his face in them. It's not that hard to find out what he looks like and posting a picture of an entirely unrelated person isn't much of a gotcha.

He’s a hateful asshole who manages to horrify and offend people on both sides of the aisle by advocating genocide as a means of establishing a leftist dictatorship.

If that sounds like someone that has any valuable insights on culture, shoot yourself. Immediately.
 

I'm starting to feel a-loggy towards the Chippa. Let's unpack what he said above:

"Marriage is hard. Staying in an unhappy marriage is harder."

Staying in an unhappy marriage isn't always harder than ending it. A lot of people stay in unhappy marriages because it's a lot more convenient to just live with it than blow things up and move into a separate (and equally expensive) household. But do you know what's really hard, Chris? Having your wife declare that she loves someone else, kick you to the curb out of the blue, send you to live in an efficiency apartment in the bad part of town, and milk you dry for child support while she lives in the house that you paid the lion's share of money for with her new lover. This is a thing that could happen to you tomorrow and there's nothing you could do about it, No fault divorce, buddy. Love and relationships are complex things which might have equally complex endings and while divorcing might be the right thing for a couple to do, it isn't always the rosy and empowering end that progressives like you like to paint it as.

"Obesity is hard. Because it's stigmatized. Fit is not always accessible to everyone."

Fit is not accessible to comatose patients in hospital beds or people who've been warned not to exercise by their doctors because of precarious heart conditions. But being fitter IS something that is accessible to most obese people under a doctor's supervision. Shows like "My 600 lb Life" show morbidly obese people dropping into healthy weight ranges all of the time. It CAN be done. It's sad that fat people get teased for their condition, since many of them reached that condition due in part because of abuse or depression, but it's not kindness to look at someone who weighs 700 lbs and treat them as though their choices were all healthy ones, or that eating until you can't stand up is just "another lifestyle choice." Chris Chipman should know better than to defend obesity, since his own brother is struggling with diabetes (and losing, by the looks of it.) Chris should also be aware that people his size are prone to heart disease and that diabetes runs in families. If he wants to be around to see his and his sibling's kids grow up, he'd better start hitting the gym soon.

"Being in debt is a complex socio-economic phenomenon often related to privilege. It is not necessarily related to discipline."

Chris Chipman is not in debt because of a "socio-economic phenomenon not related to discipline". He is in debt because he is poor at managing his money and he buys frivolities like 14 dollar hipster beers. Yes, poor people are often forced into debt because of unexpected but necessary expenses, but a lot of the 14.3 trillion in consumer debt is the result of credit card debt. A lot of it is due to the cost of housing, which is rising because of tight real estate markets in expensive cities, and the fact that most new housing being built is for the rich, leaving less housing for the poor. Also, it's due to lots of government red tape involved in housing construction. The entire phenomenon of consumer debt is hugely complex and is related to many factors, including the arrival of COVID, but Chris Chipman thinks it can all be summed up with the word "privilege" because rich white men are his family's boogeyman.

TL;DR: A woman gives Chris Chipman good advice telling him he has the agency to decide what kind of life he wants to live , and Chris insists on towing the SJW party line of "all difficulties are the result of unfairness and oppression" in the snippiest, soyest way possible. I'm glad Chris wife is having sex with him, because I definitely would not.
 
I'm kind of waiting for him to forget to censor himself and make an actual terrorist threat like he's clearly insinuating with his "vengeance" tweets but is too temporarily lucid to say.

I look forward to the transition from MovieBob to Flashbanged Basement Bob.
As if being employed ever kept him from spewing vitriol at anybody.
If Bob had a real job he'd have to stop tweeting every five seconds or be fired. I don't think he's ever had an actual full-time job.

Chris Chipman is a priveleged white male, what the fuck does he know about unfairness or oppression?

But for real: most of the above problems are entirely the person's choice. You don't want to work on your marriage or get a divorce? Then that unhappiness is on you. You can't be bothered to not regularly take in more calories than you use and binge watch some shitty geek culture show instead of hitting the treadmill for half an hour? That's all you, sporto. Not to mention, being obese makes life harder and more expensive, all at the low low cost of skipping fries and a milk shake and drinking diet soda when you go pick up Bob's McDonalds glut.

Debt comes down to knowing how to budget. Sometimes being in the black means living below your means and not wasting money on frivolous shit, or sacrificing and delaying gratification to get something you really want.

But then if people like Chris knew shit about debt, they wouldn't go to expensive colleges, they'd get every possible credit in community college (working the whole way through and not borrowing) and then transfer to a reputable state school for their Bachelor's.

I guess it’s true what they say about autism and face blindness.
 
Can we focus for a moment that Bob has gone beyond insulting others' physical appearance and actually called another human being unfuckable?!?!?!

This is even more hypocritical than his workout video.

By the way, Rod Dreher has three children, you bitter little imbecile.
And Rob Dreher, at 53 years old, looks like this:
Rod%20Dreher_WEB.jpg

He is at a healthy weight, has hair, and a genuine smile.
MovieBob, at not even 40 years of age, looks like this:
nTRkFMr.jpg

Balding, obese, lumpy and mishappen in every way.
Now, Rod Dreher is a reprehensible pillock on account of being a journalist alone, but Bob calling him "unfuckable" while, well, being fucking MovieBob certainly shot my sides into orbit.
 
Conservatives get Anime. We get Brie Larson and Rey.
View attachment 1680733
Jesus, he honestly thinks this is a fair trade, huh? I can think of at least five strong and well-built female characters in manga and anime that kick Captain Marvel and Rey Palpatine to the curb, and as far as I know, Japan never gave a shit about feminism as much as we filthy gaijin do.

Plus, Star Wars as a franchise has taken a severe toll in the public opinion and in value, and Marvel flicks won't be particularly well-remembered in, say, twenty years time.

Ah yes, the irony of the political left holding at the same time anti-corporatist views and the backing of multi-billion corporations will never cease to amaze me. Pity that Big Brain Bobbo doesn't see it, and instead celebrates it like some gotcha for his side.
 
Chris saw Bob pounding out an average of 23 tweets an hour for years and arrived at the conclusion that quantity trumps quality. Nobody wants multiple Chris Chipman podcasts and videos every month. Hell, almost nobody wants even one of those things every month. Get a job, Chris.

Also, Bob should have his right to use ellipses taken away. My God, has any professional “writer” ever been worse at expressing himself and using basic punctuation? He doesn’t even try to improve.

It is amazing how many people pretend that the problems of their life are in no sort of way their fault when people, despite having no agency about many bad things happening, can still have some sort of control about what happens in their lives. Being fat and being in an unhappy marriage are obviously things that we can fix and avoid completely by dedicating time to fixing those problems. The same as being in debt.

I had no idea of Chris' habit of throwing away his money on friviolous and completely unecessary goods. Who the fuck buys a beer for 14 bucks? I would honestly feel robbed if i did that. But i know full well that for a lot of people in this world, appearing to not be poor is much more important than not being poor. They will throw away their money uselessly on unecessary stuff, like a new car, renovating their houses or buying designer clothes rather than properly managing their money just so everyone around them can see that they have so much money, they can afford to do X or Y.

And it works in a sense. At least with Bob, the man that sees that having a mansion and a sports car while being 10K in debt is being in a wealthier position than having a decent house, a good car and clothes on your back while not having debt.
Jesus, he honestly thinks this is a fair trade, huh? I can think of at least five strong and well-built female characters in manga and anime that kick Captain Marvel and Rey Palpatine to the curb, and as far as I know, Japan never gave a shit about feminism as much as we filthy gaijin do.
We don't even have to get into recent stuff, since 70s and 80s animes were full of women that ranged from brutal and ruthless to goofy and hilarious. Being the star of all Usagi from Sailor moon, who people praise as being a character full of flaws that little by little grows into a hero. But there are plenty of other good female characters much better than what any recent western production could churn out, specially in cyberpunk settings like DA police, Bubblegum Crisis and Angel Cop.

That cringe inducing, defensive little mantra irritated the piss out of me, too, but this rebuts it much better than I could. There's just one thing I'd add.

"Marriage is hard. Staying in an unhappy marriage is harder" seems like it's ... really, really revealing.

that is an old pic of Bob.
He looks worse nowadays .
 
Nobody wants multiple Chris Chipman podcasts and videos every month. Hell, almost nobody wants even one of those things every month. Get a job, Chris.

12 months ago I used to think he was the normal Chipman brother, an example of what Bob could have been if he wasn’t such a rage filled sociopath. Now he’s just as bad.

Again get a job, Chris and stop e-begging. Especially during a pandemic when the worldwide economy is in the toilet.
 
He did make that eugenics joke though. And it was pretty obviously a joke because of how over the top it was. It was a terrible joke that he shouldn't have made, to be clear.
Why does Bob, and his defenders like this guy, always say that the eugenics tweet was a joke? Am I thinking of the wrong tweet? Isn't it that one about how Bob wishes nazis hadn't appropriated the term "eugenics"? How is that a joke? He's just saying that he is an eugenicist but can't say it clearly because people equate being an eugenicist to being a nazi. That's not a joke.

What's funny is how people like that at first argue how "he's not an eugenicist!!!", but if the discussion goes on it becomes "there's nothing wrong with being an eugenicist against nazis/conservatives/Trump supporters.", thus proving that they see no problem with eugenics, as long as it's targeted against the "deplorables".
 

Some bad takes on bob

I am too. I actually don't know much about Moviebob; I've just heard his name tossed around by Yahtzee and Jack Packard.

I tried to find a video about his firing to find out what it was about since I heard he was "fired for his views". That can mean a lot of things, good and bad. I found a video on You Tube talking about it, but within minutes it turned into aggressively grave-dancing the demise of an "One of the biggest SJW reviewers", which told me two things.

If he wants to be around to see his and his sibling's kids grow up, he'd better start hitting the gym soon.
This is what pisses me off the most about what Chris said. I will power level a bit and reveal that I used to be around Bob's weight around fifteen years ago and associate it with a bad time in my life where I was angry and self-loathing. Hell, I was eating those "small meals" Bob remarked on until I realized that I didn't watch to die of a heart attack or diabetes. So I went to the gym, changed my diet, and worked out relentlessly until I brought myself to a healthy weight and guess what--I still go to the gym because it makes me feel better. Hell, even when it closed during the lockdown I took up jogging around the neighborhood to keep healthy both physically and mentally.

So TL;DR fuck Chris and his excuses. Where there is a will there is a way.
 
Now he’s just as bad.

He's not quite there, but he's getting there. What's weird is that he seems to be taking his cues on how to behave online from Bob, which -- brothers or not -- he should be able to recognize is a dreadful idea. Chippa, if you're listening, he doesn't have a 3100 page Kiwi Farms thread by accident, or because he has so many people who are soooooo envious of his brilliance and success that we come here to seethe about it. He's an ongoing trainwreck that is bound to end in some kind of disaster, whether through an early death from poor health or some kind of flameout because he finally goes too far with the wrong person online. Don't buy a ticket on the Titanic, bubeleh.
 
Plus, Star Wars as a franchise has taken a severe toll in the public opinion and in value, and Marvel flicks won't be particularly well-remembered in, say, twenty years time.
These people see it as a zero-sum "haha, we took the chuds' franchises from them!" They don't care that Didney Star Wars hasn't made much of a cultural footprint and is pretty much culturally irrelevant.
