The Fader's attempt at killing a person's career because it conflicts with their agenda

so apparently merely being edgy and talking about memes makes you an alt-right devil now

>devil
huh, it's a question of being a moron, not a devil
"devils" are bad because of slightly different reasons

The Fader article was fucking terribly written, I think that goes without saying, but at the same time I think you'd find it hard to deny that Anthony was absolutely pandering to edgy "alt-right" (using that term very loosely here) kids with his second channel. Like, the humour was so vaguely ironic that he could pass it off as a joke to normal people yet filthy frank/chris ray gun watching morons would find it genuinely entertaining. Unfunny shit either way imo.

>so apparently merely being edgy and talking about memes makes you an alt-right devil now
no, but hanging out with alt-right posterboys like sam hyde does.

>filthy frank/chris ray gun watching morons
>edgy alt right kids

lol one podcast from two years ago, where Anthony stated repeatedly that he did not agree with most of Hyde's views

>I don't find him funny so that means he's objectively bad
kys retard

do you even fucking know what the alt-right is?

see

i knew this was gonna get brought up, i should clarify, i just mean edgy kids online more generally. i'm lumping all those people into one group, if anything just for their penchant for offensive-for-the-sake-of-being-offensive humour, to me fi

>do you even fucking know what the alt-right is?
yes, i know it's Richard Spencer and all those loonies, I used the term incorrectly boo hoo

critics destroying each others careers is a good thing

critics are parasites

every last one of them and art is better if they all went away

This is more political than music related.

Why do you think that? Celebrity status and worship of critics harms the industry but I think critics are a force for good on the whole.

> i'm lumping all those people into one group

that's the problem though. I agree, it's not my type of humour but it is alt-right.

>I used the term incorrectly boo hoo
You can't say boo hoo. What is your fucking point retard? You say:

>I think you'd find it hard to deny that Anthony was absolutely pandering to edgy...
and???? is there something so terribly wrong with that. the guy is fucking annoying and unfunny imo but I still don't see any problem with what he has done.

>The Fader's attempt at killing a person's career
won't somebody think of the poor alt-rightist :(

So anything remotely ironic and edgy that incorporates memes is now automatically associated with the alt-right? I don't understand this reasoning

>the poor alt-rightist
Who?

>alt-right
literally what are you even talking about when you say shit like this? define it and explain how he fits.

because they do not contribute anything to creativity at all, they parasite on the backs of people working a million times harder than they do even if they 'suck'

insane clown posse works a million times harder and creates far more shit in this world than some worthless puke like fantano or christgau who have the disgusting temerity of character to think their opinion is worth money at the cost of others that are actually doing the work, you have to be an extreme narcissist to be that sort of individual.

They manufacture 'taste' in other people and make everything homogenized, the world would be much richer without them. You can say 'well just don't listen to their opinions' but this is fallacious because they for the most part follow each other around give each other more weight. Nothing more disgusting than a critic.

>frogposter not getting anything
why am I not impressed

it's the reasoning of an idiot that has to bring politics into abso-fucking-lutely anything, worthless waste of time

you didn't hear me correctly. I'm asking what your definition is what your proof is because you have provided absolutely nothing so far.

fucking fantastic, user

It means nothing at this point. It's used a knee-jerk label by people who are utterly bewildered by internet culture and are too lazy to do anything other than assume everyone who posts a cartoon frog is a nazi. Maybe it meant something at some point but now basically anyone who strays even a little into edgy comedy territory gets slapped with the term by some failed journalist working for a buzzfeed tier publication

Fantano shut down the channel because it got demonetized. You have to be actually retarded if you think he would shut down his intentionally risque bait channel just because some literally who magazine was writing a stink piece on him.

Poor Fantano. If he has to get a real job what do you think he'll do?

ignore frogposters
hide frogposts

hell of a coincidence, at least

I agree even though I like anthony. Artists are inherently better and contributes more than critics.

The only way possible for a critic to be better than an artist is for them to incorporate art into their critiques but at that point, they're just artists.

Every e-celeb youtuber in the past month has been getting demonetized like mad because YouTube is retarded, why is this any different

he'll have a meme show on vimeo

I'd watch

thatistheplan was pure kino.

>*joints

Is that literally Adolf Hitler?

I mean that channel was fucking cancer, but yeah anybody who thinks Fantano is even remotely alt-right is a dumbass. He's a vegan, Bernie Sanders supporting, BLM supporting, Trump hating indie music critic with a black wife. How much more stereo typically liberal could you get. But no, I guess making some jokes on your dedicated shitposting channel is enough to change all that for some.

he has a split personality

>attempting to engage with art on an intellectual level is easy and parasitic
ok buddy

based

Reminder that fandango gave skrillex a 7/10:

>can't rewatch the I AM NOT A MELON vid anymore

The fact that he isn't 100% blindly far left and is okay with occasionally criticizing the left makes him a Nazi?

>people are defending this retard because he panders to 15 year olds for google adbux

it makes him a potential nazi

absolutely this desu

Real talk what is the end game of these journos?
Don't they realise that less and less people are believing them each time they try and shut someone down by labelling vaguely right of lenin a nazi or alt-right? What happens when the majority of their audience hates them?

>with occasionally criticizing the left
he never criticized anything because he's not a critic and has no idea what this means, he only made fun of some faux-political freaks in order to appeal to another faux-political group of delusional teenagers

fuck man meant to say it wasn't alt-right

just bitter, whiny numales trying to get attention the only way they know how

just attention
and boy, they sure got attention now! thanks mods for not doing anything

They can't contribute anything by themselves so they have to claw each other's eyes out for passing relevance.

perhaps there's no "end game" and they are doing what any professional must?

>you are face when literally memes have more political power than any professional magazine/politician

...

Fantano was a total pussy to delete his channel. Complete and utter pussy. If some no-name shitrag writer is all it takes for Fantano to cripple to leftist shaming censorship, he is just like us. Silent majority who have to shut up when leftists are speaking, so we don't lose our careers over having the wrong opinion.

"edgy opinions I don't agree with": alt-right

>If some no-name shitrag writer is all it takes for Fantano to cripple to leftist shaming censorship
He said he deleted the channel because he can't be assed to keep going with it when it got completely demonetized. People saying it has anything to do with the fader article are just pushing conjecture.

Videos are set to private

Fuck off Fader/Pitchfork journo

>30-something guy making cringy meme videos
>deletes them
Literally the best thing that ever happened

This is such a plebian response. Proper criticism requires you to be very well-read.

it's not about edginess as such, it's about the supposedly politically opinionated melon making the interview with a notorious buffoon whose views often are the opposite of Melon's, where melon played a role of a schoolboy listening to a headmaster and agreeing, he never brought up any meaningful questions
it's not just that interview, it's the style of melon in general, and his attitude

why would you care in the first place
are you 12

this
the vids sucked ass

and Carl of Swindon

But why delete it? I could understand if he never uploaded again, but to delete it completely and leave no future access is kinda shitty.

>kino
Hello Sup Forumsirgin

I mean the fader article is utter trash but I dont get the complete channel deletion either way. if he doesnt get anymore $$$ from it, then I'd just stop making new videos and leave the channel as it is. deleting it shortly after the fader called him out as """WAHHH RACIST"""" comes across like he pussied out

he killed his own career when he decided to make shitty videos for underage edgelords

pls leave Ezra, you know you shouldn't be on here

He seems like a good guy, but its generally a horrible idea to associate with this shithole website in any way, shape or form. Its a racist shithole filled with evil retards.

If there is a hell 97% of the people on this site are probably going to one of the worst possible versions of it. He should have not made any association or affiliation with this site. Going to a bar filled with neo-nazi's doesn't necessarily make you one, but if you're not one, its an extremely bad idea to say the least.

>this shithole website
you mean theneedledrop.com?

he's literal cancer like every other youtube e-celeb. throw him in the garbage with pewdie, h3h3 and the rest

No, Sup Forums.org

I'm only here for porn and current events and because I can control myself from contributing to the extreme evil and stupidity which occur's here, never in my life will I tell anyone I go on this site and even though I don't contribute to the bullshit that goes on here, I am still ashamed.

>pewdie
I've been searching to his gay nudes for weeks t b h c:
at least he's cute, unlike the others

The common theme is Sup Forums

>horrible idea to associate with this shithole website
it is if you're looking to be a businessman who just makes a product for money. Fantano clearly wanted to have more of a personality and his personal touch to it and that's why he got so big in the first place.

You good bruh

OP is on point here. the matter isn't that Antano is now a white nationalist. It is that engaging in quasi internet edginess has been blurred into being literally Hitler by hipster faggot know-nothings. This is unacceptable. Being 'funny' on the internet has existed longer than this neo-nativist trend and memes have a right to be here too without being assumed to have an affinity for tiki torches and cargo shorts

The mainstream is encouraging the creep and growth of what is called 'alt-right' to increase the amount of things that can be considered career killing thought crime, in order that they might maximize their monopoly on the culture. It is literally a meme war. Using meme in the original sense of the term.

Niggers

thats because you are weak. there is absolutely nothing wrong with not getting offended by every little thing on the internet. sure there is probably some idiots on here that are actually serious about the shit they say but the majority of ppl on here just like to shitpost and dont mean it serious

lmao go back to tumblr or reddit

they have no endgame. the career culture demands that they pump out as many articles as possible whether there is any actual news just for the sake of filling quotas. these "journalists" in any sort of media be it tv/film/music/vidya are fucking useless all things considered and seek to create conflict where there was no conflict before.

See the recent "Cuphead" debacle.

Squad shit

>See the recent "Cuphead" debacle.
yeah it's incredible how low they will go just for baiting and creating controversy. there's not a shred of integrity in ANY form of online "journalism"

The timing suggests that it is because of both reasons. I'm sure he was planning on uploading less videos to that channel, or stopping altogether, but to delete the entire channel's videos mere hours before the hit piece? C'mon.

>watching the arthur memes meme review
>''Since the advent of meme culture, children's television programs have been a strong point of memespiration...''
>''...and also daytime pre-scholer stuff that has more of an educational angle to it such as Lazy Town which Sup Forums's embrace of that years ago was kind of creepy and pedophilic, goes to show you that pedophilia is sometimes all right honestly.''
holy shit, really Sup Forums? this is your beloved music reviewer?
fucking lock him up

Same thing. Effectively deleted from the public sphere. But we can argue semantics all day, baby.

"Ooo massa, you gonna make me squirt!" -his negress gf, to melon

The whole point is that the channel had absolutely nothing to do with politics

>faggot soyboi can't understand the difference between not using nigger and making fun of specific black people

Is it autism, or is it agenda?

Pic related, it's vintage Nazi propaganda

no, avant memes generally were funny, whereas poor fantano humour was not.
I think this time they are not entirely wrong, these witch-hunting sods

2 hoes in a 2 do

The homie dance aint gay i do the homie

b-boipusy?

Playing dominos and shooting dice

Meme humor IRL is fucking cancer and these post-irony stuff is annoying, but hey thats my opinion. But from reading the AV article and comments, mostly people are upset that he isn't falling in line with the SJW crowd and point out that SJW-left leaning youtuber make more money (well thats because they bootlick and make everything advertiser friendly).

I said it before and I'll say it again, this past election ruined everything. Now anything vague is wrongthink and bigoted. Everything is racist and sexist and I hate it all

geekin on the molly

what
what are you doing

>art is better without critics
Art needs critics. What it doesn't need are people claiming to be critics who aren't critics. Not that Fantano has anything to do with art criticism - he probably knows as much about art as you do.

I don’t know. I read the article and it’s pretty hard to argue with. Definitely seems like he’s trying to pander to alt-right Sup Forums types whether he actually believes what he’s saying or not. I’d like to hear someone argue that he isn’t because to me, it seems like that’s pretty obviously his goal.

He laughs to himself a lot in videos when he's trying to think of his next point. It's a weird nervous tick.

holyfuck i knew he was an edgelord anti-sjw idiot but didnt realize how misogynisyic and racist that piece of shit was.
