if there was ever a time for musicgate it's now

Fantano was interviewed by Sargon, so the circle is complete.

nah fuck fat tony, im glad hes going down regardless of any shadiness and the rest of you should be as well

#MelonGate

>a random guy on Fader compiles a fairly large portion of information painting the Melon as insincere, pandering, and sympathetic to shitty views
>almost nothing that could be construed as libel or defamation in any American court
>calls journalist unethical because they say mean things about Mr. Melon

I think the article went a bit far and stretched in quite a few places. But everybody who says Marcus directly called Anthony an "alt-right" guy are wrong. He did nothing more than showcase about a dozen different things Anthony did on his second channel that were either shitty or stupid, and everybody lost their shit. Of course I'm disappointed that a lot of liberals are intent on blacklisting him, but so many people on the internet refuse to own their shit when they fuck up and get called out for it. I hope Anthony rises above and proves that he isn't a Melon but is a Nice Man.

P.S., I have no reason to hate Anthony as a person despite how much I and the rest of Sup Forums makes fun of him

Hi Ezra

All fucking (you)tube e-celebs must fucking hang.

Nice damage control, Ezra

I don't have a YouTube account, dog.

a good hitpiece doesn't need to claim anything. it just needs to collect a bunch of data that fits its viewpoint and assemble it in such a way that resembles a woman saying "I just think it's funny how..." and let the reader fill in the blanks with their own confirmation bias.

this is the cancer in "journalism"

iDubbbz gets away with it, why can't melon?

/ezramarcus/ Q&A?

I wasn't talking about you, nameshit. Not everything revolves around you just because you're too much of a punk bitch to be anonymous.

>But everybody who says Marcus directly called Anthony an "alt-right" guy are wrong.
>The title of the article has "His lesser-known channel was a bid to the alt-right"
What the hell do you think he's implying?

The man who destroyed Fantano's career

i think the author meant that he was pandering to/trying to get views from the alt right (Sup Forums shitposters), not that he was alt right himself

i skimmed the article tho so idk

that he saw an audience in the alt-right and decided to pander to it for youtube money which is the whole point of the article

>literal fucking numale

/ourguy/

god the song at the end of his video he released yesterday or a few days ago was god awful
it would have been an ok video but then they made that

hes implying that the audience he was making videos for are altright edgelords even if melon might not necessarily be one himself
get some basic reading comprehension

>implying
Pandering to a bunch of jerkoffs?

He pandered to the alt-right constantly. He made le ebin SJW may mays constantly, a lot of them originating from Sup Forums, and frequently found himself in the company of people the alt-right either appreciates on a philosophical level or outright agrees with. Not only did he find himself in the company of these people, he agreed with them or complacently ignored their shitty behaviour.

This doesn't make him "alt-right", and the conclusion you came to being that Ezra called him "alt-right" makes you look illiterate.

It isn't a "hitpiece" as so many people are simplistically framing it.

>memes are alt-right now
oy vey

>It isn't a "hitpiece" as so many people are simplistically framing it.

it's not a fair or well rounded examination of anthony either. the author's social media antics following the posting of the piece betray the idea that it was anything but a hitpiece.

>and frequently found himself in the company of people the alt-right either appreciates on a philosophical level or outright agrees with
So basically if you're a radical centrist like Sargon or a professional edgelord like Sam Hyde you're alt-right. Good to know.

How is he pandering to the alt right? By having people with right leaning views on his show? So he's not allowed to talk with anyone with different view points than him? And edgy memes doesn't equal alt-right.
You guys are the cancer killing Sup Forums

>It isn't a "hitpiece" as so many people are simplistically framing it.
you really should have asked your mom and dad to proofread it first for mistakes before publishing it, Ez

autism

Based Ezra is destroying the melon

Are you dumb as shit? Both of those guys pull the thinly veiled far right beliefs under "facts" that can be easily disproven provided people actually look shit up. The entire skeptic community has been alt right despite them trying to deny it considering how crazy part of it is.

lawyer-tier argumentation, m8. i mean, like one of those dirty rotten no good snake in the grass $ over truth reddit spacing lawyers

haha too bad you're getting a refund, dipshit, you deserve to lose your money.

fuck off doublechen,

Did that channel even actually generate money?

Yes it's only trying to smear him by association as something he never claimed to be just because he liked to meme. Totally not a hit piece.

Did you even listen to the Sam Hyde interview? He guffawed at everything that came out of his mouth and didn’t challenge any of it.

In other words, he condoned it.

>didn't read the article
Lmao. See what that other guy said when you losers on the internet never want to take responsibility for anything because muh internet means that I don't need to explain shit/be a grown adult.

>Did that channel even actually generate money?
yes. his whole "official reasoning" for shutting it down was because it had been demonetized

Cant believe neo-Sup Forums are actually defending this numale, shows how bad this board has become

No, by outright agreeing with them and directly laughing at racist and sexist shit. You didn't read the article or look at the links provided in it. Try harder to lie while pretending to be the harbinger of truth.

You're making a fair point. But I don't think it's fair to categorise an article summarising the shittiness of a creator's content as a simple "hit piece". There's much more to it than that.

I didn't say they were even alt-right. Re-read my post, you child. I said members of the alt-right exalt them constantly, and unless you live under a rock you're completely familiar with that. Sam is completely an alt-right guy, by the way. And Sargon is clearly right-of-centre (and inconsistent to a crazy degree) in his views. But that doesn't even matter because you're not even responding to anything I directly said.

to be fair, the channel was a total cash grab for the clicks of edgy Sup Forums kids

>pull the thinly veiled far right beliefs under "facts" that can be easily disproven provided people actually look shit up
Praytell like what?

Someone catch me up here?
I'm guessing from whay was already typed itt someone thought shitposts from melon were serious and wrote about it?
I saw that he wasn't getting monetized, but that didn't justify shutting the whole channel down

>defending Melonshit cancer
He needs to go, for the sake of Sup Forums.

The article never called him alt-right once. Does anybody on this goddamn board know how to read?

That's exactly what the regressives believe, that free speech and ideological debate are preludes to extremism.

What a joke

>implying anyone cares about some limp-wrist Jew music critic critic

>reading clickbait

>how on earth did he find that image?
>he must have bought tickets!!!!!
I don't even live anywhere near he's touring
What did Sam Hyde say in his interview that's was so controversial? He doesn't condone his political views, Anthony even made a video saying he's argued with Sam off the air.
I'm not reading your article Ezra
>No, by outright agreeing with them and directly laughing at racist and sexist shit. You didn't read the article or look at the links provided in it. Try harder to lie while pretending to be the harbinger of truth.
What racist or sexist shit has he agreed with?

That's because the writer doesn't have the guts to. The heavy handed implication underlines the entire article.

>didn't read the article
Read the article.

>argued with Sam off the air
While laughing at the shit he was saying on the air and refusing to confront him about it? If the guy doesn't support Sam, then he's a pussy.

>being this fucking ignorant in current year

holy shit

>What did Sam Hyde say in his interview that's was so controversial? He doesn't condone his political views, Anthony even made a video saying he's argued with Sam off the air.

as much as I find Sam Hyde funny, his detailed description of beating Lena Dunham to death is not something that's palatable to those who aren't completely irony poisoned.

>Read the article
Suck my dick.

Again
>What did Sam Hyde say in his interview that's was so controversial?

>had the guts to make an entire article criticising a very popular YouTuber
>didn't have the guts to directly call him a member of the alt-right

This makes no sense and is a pretty egregious example of bald speculation based off of your own hunches. The only "implication" the article made as it pertained to Anthony's involvement with the alt-right is that he pandered to them and sympathised with a lot of their views either genuinely or dishonestly to make $$$$

That's because Sam Hyde is a comedian who says the most offensive things for shock value. Whenever he's asked seriously about any of it he just responds with more verbal shitposting. It's all an act. Do you even read what you type?

>donates 5000 dollars to stormfront
its ok hes just a professional edgelord

Kys yourself for you own sake mate! At least that's what I would do if I were stuck in head like that.

>You guys are the cancer killing Sup Forums
says the fucking underage fantano fan

...

It's just sad at this point ezra

Do you confront every person you disagree with during every conversation you have with them?

This is the correct take.This is an example of something you might say if you're a reasonable person whose brain hasn't been irradiated through too much Sup Forums.

Youtube culture makes me feel so fucking old. It's like every week there's some garish new attention whore "comedian" who everyone in the world knows about except me.

You're clearly a journalist who's scoping out this board for research, because they're the only people who are dumb enough to label everything even remotely right-wing as alt-right unironically.

I don't like Fantano (especially after his god awful Narkopop review), I just hate faggots like you supporting shitty journalism

Here's the clip of Sam Hyde and Fantano

Fantano is just tittering up a storm

youtube.com/watch?v=OhxBHlH5R04

you could make the argument that anthony having him on for a discussion would invite the opportunity to challenge his views instead of just providing a platform for them. having a youtube channel that gets hundreds of thousands of views is different than an every day discussion.

Ezra, please promise me that as long as Fantano's career isn't completely dead you'll carry on until there's nothing left. End the melon, please.

Sjws don't realize the alt right didnt exist until people became fed up with this shit.

Include me in the screencap, Ezra

good post

How does it not make sense? He insinuates melonhead is alt-right at every turn without ever outright saying it. He's clearly trying to smear him without any concrete allegations.

And what's so dangerous about Sam's views having a platform? If Sam is so wrong then people will surely see the error of Sam's ways and not take on his views themselves.

We need a 3rd Holocaust

>as much as I find Sam Hyde funny, his detailed description of beating Lena Dunham to death is not something that's palatable to those who aren't completely irony poisoned.
It's an edgy joke, I don't think that's nearly as bad as raping your own sister

>having a youtube channel that gets hundreds of thousands of views is different than an every day discussion
so you can't have everyday discussions on a popular youtube channel?

Classic left: if I approve of the joke, it's a joke, but if I don't it's a rant and he's 100% serious.

I understand what Hitler was talking about when he talked about Jewish Bolshevist rats. People like you, Ezra, people like you will get a lot more people killed with your behavior.

Lena Dunham deserves it. She's a cunt who only has a show thanks to (((connections))).

I don't like Lena Dunham but I really like Girls. It's a very well written and well acted show about a bunch of assholes.

The left don't approve of the alt-right but they still think it's a joke.

why do jews keep trying to ruin people's careers for "un-pc" opinions

The logical conclusion to Sup Forums's downward spiral in quality would be a listenergate.

I wonder if that would be enough to make me leave this shitty site.

same except I really don't like her

I welcome it. Purge the commie faggots and unironic tumblr users.

Then why do they keep freaking out about it?

Pinkos leave

idubbbz is really quality and puts a lot of thought and effort into his content

And replace them with even more of the r/thedonald and /r9k/ crowd

because that worked so well for Sup Forums

during Sup Forumss golden age we had unironic tumblr threads where people would share cool music blogs and mock the pleb ones

If only I knew things wouldn't be that way forever.

It's their excuse to act like morons while feeling good about it

hello there rabbi

>Sam Hyde donates 5k to Stormfront
>Sargon repeatedly states false shit about muh SJW boogeyman (despite getting wrecked in a debate with a feminist), the same false shit alt righters spout about Islam and the decline of western culture/civilization, spouts on about the liberal agenda/liberal elite, has gotten endorsements from Daily Stormer/Richard Spencer, has done stuff with Baked Alaska/Millenial Woes, etc.
>b-but Hyde is a professional shitposter and Sargon tells his alt right subs to unsub and sends them interracial pornography!
Fucking amazing the sheer levels of lack of responsibility at display here. Like, for one minute think outside the internet shitpost forum and think real life consequences, you dumb neckbeard fucks.

How about we just not replace them.

things have gotten too divisive

hell i used to post in those things and had an "aesthetic" blog for a few years, now i'm pretty much right wing libertarian

My bad, Hyde donated to Daily Stormer, not Stormfront.

You'll come back. I keep coming back. I'm 27 and I'm still here, surrounded by post-pubescent neurotics who all recently swore allegiance to racism. It gets more and more pathetic and embarrassing as time passes, but here I am.
