So i discovered this site a couple days ago. I regret it.
I started looking up youtubers I watch. None are on here except philosophy tube, which was an eye opener.
However I found many adjacent youtubers or those that associate with ones I watch. Namely shortfatotaku.

I searched his name and a few things came up, 20% were positive, 30% were neutral, and 50% were negative. I was curious as to why he had a negative slant? I watched a lot of his videos and he is pretty grounded, he associates with colorful characters but that's about it. He is about the only true moderate I have come across personally; next to maybe "knowing better". The only time I saw him give a legit bad take was when he droned on about climate change. Boiling it down to "It might suck, but canada might get a boon eh?"

So, is the negativity due to his association with lolcows/colorful characters? Or has he had more bad takes than I realized?
 
How did you hear about this place, anyway?

oh, and Welcome to the Farms! Stay safe & have fun!
bestguyever put a video people were waiting for, someone said something about digibro and BGE splitting, he said to check here....and well, that was a rabbit hole. I haven't watched digibro in years but i did notice him rebranding multiple times a year. Little did I know how fucking whack that whole thing is. Glad to find out BGE is as clean and cool as I had pictured him.

Bad takes on politics, another leaf who spends his time worrying about burgerland, degenerate coomer, likes trannies, ect.
I think his takes are leveled enough, though the climate change one made him seem dumb, but everyone sounds dumb if they talk enough. Any examples of other bad takes?
I do find it funny a canadian obsesses over U.S news, but canada is our direct neighbor, and similar in culture so I find it more of a simple laugh than issue. From the brief time lurking a few hours straight...idk man, calling people degenerates and coomers here is uh...yaaaa. Likes trannies, ya, he is very self aware though. Anyone who talks about politics and can laugh at themselves are A okay in my book.

it might have something to do with these embarrassing videos.
Bro....................
It was uploaded in april 1st. Also the voice is clearly trying to sound like plinket from redlettermedia. LOL come on man.

Damn I thought my name was unique. I mean I even added an odd number (69). I swear those aren't me.

Why do you care?
Cause I value my self worth based around how others like or dislike my interests.

My bad, I should have multiquoted all those. Don't use forums too much, let alone seeing replies on topics I make.

learn to use multiquotes you quintuple-nigger
 
So you've only been here a couple of hours but that alone was enough to make you think it a good idea to open a Q&A thread solely to ask the community at large why some fragment of them have what are most likely not even strong negative opinions about one minor sideshow character who doesn't even have his own thread, as opposed to the hundreds of genuine cows discussed on this site.
Because....?

Keep it up champ, welcome to the farms.
 
Which Youtubers do you watch?
I will reply to this and check back later as I don't want to get caught up forgetting to multi quote again.

I watch a handful, I think it would be more fun to just list my subscriptions in a big list rather than rank them in any way.
*checks subs*
I apparently have 100+...hmm

Well if you know a way to view your subscriptions as a simple text doc, I will happily share it. To give at least an idea. I mostly watch political/talking heads as well as a video essay people. The rest are for funzies. Some minor educational, then one or two anime tubers. I would actually like to post the whole sub list and have this place tear it apart, since I don't feel like searching each ones name on here, so posting a simple list and have someone go "OHHH MY GAAAAWWWD YOU SUBBED TO HIM? You know he fucked his sister right?" would be pretty crazy. Like I said, I enjoyed reading about philosophy tube being a shitty person in disguise. Not to mention the digibro rabbit hole. Rabbit holes are a helluva drug.

Off the top of my head for specific channels are:
Politics/talking heads:
Tim pool (the only hard political talking head I watch, though I am quickly growing disillusioned with him, still good news aggregator for the most part IMO)
Hillsdale college (just started)
itsagundam
shortfatotaku
memology
kraut (pretty much only know him from the trump click bait vid detailing china, which I thought was great. I saw he had a thread here, haven't read yet, am semi aware of his controversy)
philosophy tube
turkey tom
big joel (here instead of other because takes are clear)
PSA stitch (main channel, CBA to watch 8 hour ramblings)
Jacob Geller (raged at me for disagreeing with him in the comments, regarding a political nature, so here he is political)
1791

Video essay/pop culture talkers.

strat edgy
superbutterbuns (and that whole zeitgeist sorta)
clemps
joseph anderson
sseth
mandalore
kreal
jim sterling

I don't feel like listing all the education channels since its more than I realized and its hard to distinguish between essay and education, plus those guys wouldn't be on there...hopefully.
Knowing better
history buffs
company man
JCS crime psychology
lemino
wendover

Others: animators and stuff
Purpleeyeswtf
OneyNG (and that whole newgrounds zeitgeist; or at least all the ones that didn't become egoraptor)
jeremy jahns
foundflix
circletoons
Lord Bung (strictly for SCP, streams aren't my thing)
Bruva alfabusa
Joel Haver (mostly for the rotoscoping that made him trending)
Aamon animations (beautiful)
AMV channels ( I don't use spotify or soundcloud, I am old, I got my free music from AMV's. Therefore I continue to get my free music from AMVs)


Thats most of them it seems. I have others but I just keep them on sub list to see thumbnails rather than videos or I haven't watched them in forever and am too lazy to continue listing. Feel free to find me relatable or not. More importantly if you know of any juicy info/controversy on any from my list just lemino, would love to hear it. I currently know of the digibro drama (gunt), and philosophy tube stuff.

If I found out I could get one type of drug at the dive bar I never knew existed. Why not see if they had other types of drugs?

Also, I don't really care about e-celeb stuff unless its from people I personally watch or enjoy. Chris chan and sonichu and all that, eh. Its like a one night stand. Or passionless sex. Or watching someone I don't know die from a distance. Its just hollow. I have heard of things like chris chan and sonichu but I just find it sad rather than funny.

Also it was definately more like 6-7 hours of pure reading. Granted I "skimmed" with the search function to find mentions of those that mattered on the topics with 1k+ pages, but still. I would say more than a couple hours. It was at LEAST a few.

Interesting! Good choices, friend.

Do you like any animes? Or have any cool fetishes?

Also, what is your opinion on trains?

I used to watch anime a lot back in late 2000s early 2010s. Not so much now. I often just find myself watching gigguk or eyepatchwolf, the same way i watch jeremy jahns and other essay people. To get a summation of events rather than having to watch hours long content. Totallynotmark got me caught up with one piece, emotional investment be damned. The last anime i watched was promised neverland...I found it, fine, then I heard it became totally terrible killing my mood again to waste watching anime.

Fetishes? Man this place really a den of hypocrisy they mock the weirdos who over share online but then ask stuff like this, smh. If you must know, my biggest fetish right now is "the expanse". I have been asking around for others who are into it, and pushing my friends to try it with me.

Trains? TRAINS!?!?!?
DID YOU JUST ASK ME ABOUT TRAINS!?!!!!!
LET ME TELL YOU HOW i FEEL ABOUT TRAINS!

they aight

What is "the expanse"? Tell me about it.

Also, don't worry about oversharing. This is the Q&A Board. It's basically the asshole of Kiwifarms, where all the normal rules of sanity and decorum break down! Feel free to discuss your favorite balloon hentai or whatever.
 
He was a cunt back in gg and he's still a cunt

Can you elaborate? Any vids? I am genuinely curious. Is he like a reverse egoraptor? Where he used to be a serious SJW then got redpilled? I think the most I have watched from him is back to 2017 or 2016.

LMFAO, are the people here at least self aware? I didn't get the impression this was full of self deprecating weebs but you make it sound like it is. I got a slight impression of this but didn't want to assume.
The expanse is a scifi TV show based around a set of books. Think game of thrones (a good book series based in fantasy that got its own tv show), except scifi. I saw it briefly at the similar threads section floating below this reply box, thought I would throw it in there since I legit just don't watch much anime and felt like adding something funny while also counting as an alternative. Its on amazon, or just find it on any "streaming" site. Its only 4 seasons? And the next season should be the "last" one, but that's a whole can of worms. So its easy to binge.
