its also just like. kinda laughable when ppl call moments 'bad writing' and its just 'they didnt validate my pilot-era headcanon' or they need basic character interactions explained to them like theyre 5. are yall even old enough to be watching cartoons idk i'm just here to grill (toxic doomed yaoi)

its one thing to have Critical Thinking Skills (hellaverse is far from perfect, i have gripes too) but its a whole 'nother thing to just shit on the thing you clearly enjoy. its all in the attitude. shoving yourself in a locker will not get you into heaven just be cringe and free

Being arrogant is only an issue when you're wrong (about things like Facts - being wrong can cause serious harm) because that arrogance acts as a roadblock to the open-mindedness needed to course correct. If you're just very confident that your opinions on media are well-founded, no harm no foul.

Getting mad that someone sounds "too arrogant" when discussing opinions is a dead giveaway that they're just mad the opinion they personally disagree with wasn't cushioned with a million redundant meek-sounding disclaimers ("only my opinion...") because I Am Feel Bad When We Disagree With Me :(

Arrogance is only an issue when you're Wrong, which is impossible to be when the topic is media analysis as that is an inherently subjective topic.

anecdotally speaking, every time i've seen someone bring up hbomb's days as a SomethingAwful poster, if you get 'em talking for long enough it'll become very clear they're just mad he didn't like their favorite media so therefore he's Evil. usually its RWBY fans doing it.

Self-proclaimed dumb zoomer plays dumb. In other news, grass is green, sky's blue, water makes things wet, more news at 11.

I just find it interesting how you've spent the entire comment chain playing devil's advocate for men who were mostly notable for using their platforms to be jackasses to women and not much else.

Sincerely, stop posting. Your bio checks out. Every word you speak just makes you sound more and more like a misogynistic jackass failing to replicate the sentiments of people far more thoughtful than you're capable of.

Like. That is literally a thing that he is Known To Do. Him faking his suicide was simply projecting the worst case scenario of his own actions onto Hbomb.

Did you not even watch the fucking video? At multiple points it's shown how Somerton framed whistleblowers with extremely tiny followings (at least one with less than 150) as sending him death threats, causing his fans to harass them into vanishing, allowing him to rewrite the narrative.

The public spectacle was necessary. Somerton had a history of siccing his fans to harass would-be whistleblowers into silence, with particularly vicious framing. Had someone larger like Hbomb not shone a light on him, I'm willing to bet Somerton would've unwittingly gotten his fans to kill someone.
