Pretentious Rantsonas Are Still Stuck in 2016

[@Chelaxim]

Bringing up Briggs Myers test,making Electric Bogaloo jokes,bring up 1000 genders,making fun of people minding their own business, rantona voiced by an Englishman....did I time travel?

[@tubian323]

The "Attack Helicopter" joke am I right?

[@ToaOfFusion]

Totally an extrovert, believe me

[@Infernalhag]

Rantsona are just primitive vtubers

[@n0etic_f0x]

They do tend to be made by the sect of people who despise technology.

[@quartzninja]

I wouldn't even necessarily call them primitive. They're more like a mix between PNGtubers and Vtubers, depending on if and how they animate their model.

I cannot imagine a sadder life then being upset that somebody that you don't know has a positive outlook on their own body.

[@deadlynn7774]

He made an entire career off shaming people. He has to be absolutely miserable. It probably rubs him the wrong way seeing people living comfortably in their bodies when he can’t.

[@alexjaybrady]

As a posh english person with a squid for a face who wears a top hat and sunglasses while holding a glass of scotch and a cigarette by a roaring fire, these type of guys give us a bad name.

[@n0etic_f0x]

Yeah, this guy has been like this for years. While a chud he is like a light six on chudness. He has a rare good take like _"Abuseing people for fun or profit is a bad thing." but often lacks the ability to just... be normal. You can tell he is kind of just an absurd person as he tries and fails to be politically neutral.

[@sluttyMapleSyrup]

Yeah, I followed him through my Pick-Me phase when he was mainly reporting on the drama surrounding (and likely contributing to the harassment of) Amberlynn Reid. His schtick has been largely the same, Bearing-esque personal jabbing his whole career. He recently came back around my feed with a video about Iiluminaughtii and aside from celebrating her failure at being able to forclose on Oz's home, it's the same boring, venomously cynical presentation he's always had.

[@Tjnovakart]

I used to watch him as a teen & thought he was a “true moderate”… until I got into the real world and met actual moderates 💀

[@n0etic_f0x]

@@sluttyMapleSyrup I think his folly is more idiocy than malice. He’s a lot like my dad combine him and Dave and give him Hank Hill flavor and that’s my dad. They both are just terrified of introspection, I don’t want to blame them but they are the only ones who can be blamed. Once you are over sixteen you should have done more introspection than this despite how painful it is. It is good for you. It allows you to think properly and not just run headlong into a pit of rage because you are stubbornly against rectification of your errors. For instance my parents are having a few Christmas parties my dad wanted to plant this stupid massive garden, it will take about thirty hours to do and will add nothing to the party, it will be in total darkness. My mom wants to decorate for the party and get the house in a state where forty people can come over. It’s tonight and we still have about three hours of work left. People like this lack introspection to such a degree that it leads to everyday errors like this _”l have this goal because I am still emotionally a teenager!”_ Yeah great work on that because it is a flaw.

[@thrillhouse4151]

After that Hbomb video my tolerance for KZbin channels I don’t know about has completely waned, they’re all opportunistic leeches until proven otherwise and I don’t have the time for that.

​@@Nerobyrne Bruh, same! Was disappointed when I saw his recent iiluminaughtii video (after not following him for the past couple years) that he doesn't seem to have changed at all from the venomously cynical, Kirkland-brand iNabber he was back then.

[@breadds863]

People like this guy see one or two people acting a bit cringe on social media and assume ALL fat activists or people talking about body positivity have super extreme views. Any movement will have people taking things too far but who cares! Let people do what they want!!

[@ReplicatorFifth]

At least his rant sona is fitting. Illithids are famous for being manipulative and staggeringly arrogant in DnD.

[@PhantomLord]

I found his Instagram. ZERO photos of himself

[@xXhaibanFFfanXx]

In the last couple years there has been a shift in the gym and gym culture thanks to huge gym social media influences trying to my a gym a safe space and it's had a huge change I follow tons of tiktoks and social media accounts of people doing a weightloss journey and the comments are all positive and supportive

[@Rage-_-Quit]

Always been like that, most gymrats started because they we're that skinny/fat kid themselves at some point, some of the most helpful and nice people around. It's always been a lame excuse made up by lazy people so they don't have to go there. Bottom line is, if you can't get your ass out of bed and to the gym very morning at 6 you're not suffering enough yet.

[@Mae_Dastardly]

​@@Rage-_-Quitgym after work > morning gym. Morning is for warmup calisthenics

[@shannond1511]

He’s not even talking about misleading non information about health at ANY size, he’s literally saying self esteem isn’t ok to have unless he thinks you’re acceptable looking. So many ppl say this and say it’s about spreading misinfo but liking themselves isn’t spreading anything except a healthy mindset

[@VictoriaMorganawesometori]

This dude did a "commentary" video on some KZbin drama (not the gorl world) and spent most of the run time bragging that he didn't know anything about the drama. He made the video just to prove he was superior by trashing on people he didn't know regarding a situation he did 0 research on.

[@noireisbest6786]

When I saw the video's thumbnail rantsona, that was such a deep cut into the past, lol. We need to reclaim rantsonas, lol.

[@rustkitty]

I think people who don't hate change have just moved on from a fiddly and inefficient old ways. So there isn't much to reclaim. That said, there still content creators who use rantsonas both non-political and left political content, although most of them are furries (where the whole concept came from in the first place). But if you wanted to use a cartoon 'sona, these days there are more efficient options like 2D or 3D vtuber avatars.

[@feistygheisty]

I choose to believe that cephalopod furries are called "Chromatophorries"

[@seraphonica]

if this guy had some more body positivity maybe he wouldn't need an internet cosplay of a British squiddish

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

I used to listen to this guy as background noise years ago. I remember stopping because he gave me weird vibes, but Jesus I don’t remember him being this bad. I wonder if he got worse over time or if I just got better I identifying these people.

[@RawketSushi]

Do people like this know that like you can be aware and concerned about your health and also not hate yourself for being overweight? Like why do they think that if there are health concerns around ones weight, that that person should feel bad about their body? And even more so, what if someone is overweight but not so overweight that there are any like serious health risks? Should that person feel bad? I'm overweight, but like I don't have any serious health concerns related to it, and I have great body positivity. In fact, and this might be confusing to someone like this, I both love my body and want to work on it. I can look at myself and say "I look good, I don't look the way I personally want to try to look, but I look good and don't have anything to be ashamed of weather I make it to my goals or not." You can be conscious about your health without self-hating. And nobody deserves to be judged or ridiculed for their weight, that does nothing but make a persons day worse.

[@TheLeafcuter]

also the fact that being fat is not a moral failing. Like, ok so you meet someone who is fat and also unhealthy. Congrats? Does bullying them make you feel better? Does making them feel less human help, like in any way? And why are you so obsessed with what that person does with their life? Are you also this vigilant about smokers, or is it just because they're fat and you think that's gross?

[@RawketSushi]

@@TheLeafcuter yeee tru tru

[@actualgoblin]

I'm underweight. I pretty much always have some significant vitamin deficiency, and I'm at a higher risk for heart problems than someone 3× my weight would be. I've noticed that this kind of hostility, laced with false concern, is rarely if ever targeted towards people with my body type. I don't really understand what the difference is.

[@17joren]

This is hilarious coincidence, I just listened to a “linguist reacts to pronouns” video (Lana Marie) and of course the comments have dozens of conservatives struggling to understand people. They say similar shit, such as about how respect works. Also I totally read this video title as having “*rat*sona” so was very interested in what was going on…

That “respect” line really shows how much the word is fundamentally misunderstood. This mollusk is using it to mean “deference” like what a tyrant demands.

i used to sub to this guy but something about him always felt...off when i watched his videos. he gave off chud vibes and even when i agreed with him, i felt like i didnt really AGREE with him.

[@merbst]

24:00 I remember hearing someone say: "Mind your own damned business!" that produced a miraculous result; The other person actually did stop annoying people & focused their attention to their own business instead, if only for a little while!

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

These videos/creators that feature videos/creators like this are such a great tool for just that. Especially if you have a history being a decent way into the alt-right pipeline a while ago.

[@tom1644x]

I used to enjoy some of his vids, but he seems to have gone off the rails lately.

[@sluttyMapleSyrup]

Same. Followed him until a couple years ago. His flirting with anti-queer talking points like the "1000 genders" thing over the past while turned me off his content more than his dry, cynical attitude did.

[@dalailarose1596]

Really? I remember him as a reactionary 4+ yrs ago, I didn't know he did anything non anti-SJW.

[@teenkitsune]

I remember a previous coworker of mine, cishet dude with a girlfriend, apparently said girlfriend likes fat guys, when they first started dating he was actually slim, he fattened himself up for her. Somewhere in this upload reminded me of that, felt like sharing it. I think it was kinda sweet that he did that for his girlfriend~

[@chrispysaid]

"The only person who can call me unattractive is myself." Actually no, attractiveness is subjective to each person. You can be attractive to one person and unattractive to another. Anyone who finds you unattractive can tell you they find you unattractive. Of course, that's a needlessly negative thing to tell someone, so if they decide to do that it's to either purposefully hurt you or to explain to you why they're not returning your advances towards them. "You're unattractive to me" is a perfectly acceptable thing to say to someone you're trying to deny intimate access to.

[@dalailarose1596]

There's a pretty big difference between saying "You're unattractive to me" & "You're not attractive to me". The first is nasty, the second is fine.

[@dalailarose1596]

You can express your personal lack of attraction without expressing your opinion on their overall attractiveness. Doing the latter is trashy.

[@chrispysaid]

@@dalailarose1596 Hard disagree. These sentences mean the same thing: "I find you unattractive." "You're not attractive to me." Those are synonymous sentences, and any nuance you use to differentiate them is subjectively imposed. Maybe one sounds trashier to you than the other, but that doesn't make this inherently true to each respective sentence.

[@jm329]

You are both wrong.

[@DarthStuticus]

1000+ genders make gender meaningless. we would need a need a new word for what is currently M/F/NB. Just use your name at that point. Gender fluid falls under NB. Its the one Valid criticism the right has that im aware of.

[@redmage5251]

and they're not even good at making that criticism

[@screamingphoenix8113]

Not really. Genderfluid isn't non-binary. Non-binary means neither male or female, whereas gender fluid could mean both, or sometimes one and sometimes something completely different. I don't know why people are so hellbent on policing other people's identities. Does it really matter at all if someone described themselves in a unique way? If you are ok with someone being nonbinary, why not explore the uniqueness of that third position in more detail?

Gender politics is why he's making fun of them. Not them being happy and positive. That's a straw man argument that people like you make up because it's easy to tear that down. It's the politics as a whole he's making commentary on.
