He made the decision to flirt with the Alt-Right. No one forced him.
He might love Bernie but he revealed himself as another Suburban white boy with the same old really problematic views about "radical feminists and SJWs".
I'm sorry but he can forget his dream of ever being taken seriously in the industry. He's done.
Anthony Young
How did he flirt with the alt-right?
Chase Ramirez
Fuck off, Fader shill You will not disparage /our/ meme reviewing music nerd. He outright condemns the alt-right and is actually a very left-leaning guy. Him having Sam Hyde in his podcast is not "flirting with the alt-right" neither is having pepe memes on his FUCKING MEME CHANNEL
Connor Nguyen
who fucking cares faggot, music is all that matters
Brayden Bell
>flirt with the Alt-Right fucking Christ, american genocide when?
Cameron James
Why do white people ruin everything, Sup Forums?
Ryan Butler
>be a liberal >be a huge rap fan > never said/done anything racist >gives an interview to someone with a different political opinion >labeled a Nazi
Wyatt Collins
Ezras Jewish though and Jews dont consider them white, thats why its called antisemitic and not antiwhite
Owen Reyes
He's a public figure (the self-proclaimed "most famous music critic in the world") and made the conscious decision to make absurdist videos about decidedly non-politically correct memes including Pepe the Frog and other such cultural ephemera, some of which has been co-opted by the alt-right. He has quoted jokes and memes that use the N-word. All of that is absolutely undeniable fact.
I for one am not offended by the meme reviews and I understand the humour behind them, but he took risks that would not be acceptable if they were taken by almost any other public figure. I have to agree with the OP—he will never be truly taken seriously within the music industry as a result of his actions.
Evan Morris
>same old really problematic views about "radical feminists and SJWs".
I can't tell if this is bait. Is this bait?
Owen Jones
He is literally a one man Pitchfork, he has major clout in music circles. He can and does make and break careers in 7-10 minute videos.
Yes he has influence, just because he isn't respected by other more irrelevant music journos doesn't mean he is influential.
Ethan Taylor
i feel you bro
Colton Gutierrez
Will this p4k drone butthurt ever end? It is shame that scaruffi quite reviewing music, he BTFO poseur avant-teens way better than anthony ever did.
Kevin Hughes
>he has major clout in music circles >he can and does...break careers in 7-10 minute videos Sources needed on both of these. I will agree with you that a handful of new artists have had significant career bumps as a result of his videos but no artist's career has ever been "broken" because of the same.
Hunter Fisher
>flirt with I love this slippery slope.
Nathaniel Smith
why are you so racist against my people D':
Jason Peterson
Stop being a faggot.
Fantano's meme channel was great and his music reviews aren't too bad either. His mistake is acquiescing to all these pussies who have a twisted desire to be offended by everything.
Joshua Parker
I couldn't give a fuck less about Fantano but this Fader shit is absurd.
Connor Nguyen
>he took risks that would not be acceptable if they were taken by almost any other public figure
the problem is we have a culture of people who think it's ok for someone to lose their job/income for telling jokes
Carter Williams
>making a fantano thread >thinking about fantano >saving images of fantano >watching fantano
Henry Wright
Chester bennington committed suicide after that NOT GOOD
Aaron Brown
And even with respect to the claim that careers have been "made" because of his videos, there's no evidence to suggest that any artist who Fantano "discovered" has achieved any returns in terms of mainstream success, sales, etc. as a direct result of his influence.
Oliver Russell
Go to bed Melon. Stop coming on Sup Forums to defend yourself.
Blake Hall
Seriously, it's fucking ridiculous. People are shitting themselves because he had someone who he didn't agree with on his podcast. Literally the point of a podcast.
Samuel Gutierrez
Literally isn't true. People only watch his videos because he's goofy. He's not that important.
Luis Turner
Good luck with the HRT.
Noah Allen
I'm leaning towards bait
Nicholas Peterson
which podcast?
Juan Hernandez
these are the times we're living in
Christian Carter
For real my dude
Kevin Long
>the problem is we have a culture of people who think it's ok for someone to lose their job/income for telling jokes
they just dont understand. They've never had that much to lose
Henry Rogers
truth
William Mitchell
wtf i love fantano now
Dylan Morgan
I made the decision to flirt with your mom. No one forced me.
Brayden Murphy
AYO FO SHO MY MAN
Lincoln Wood
