"Responding To In Praise Of Shadows" | Kip Reacts to Unsubscribe Clips

[@De1tAStreaM]

The Labrador who is friends with a pack of wolves.

[@Trafulgoth]

"I'm going to attack a bunch of people for clout!" *Everyone and their friends launch retaliation airstrikes* "How can I recover from this?"

[@JaxMerrick]

"That's the neat part... You don't."

[@boom350ph]

​@JaxMerrick except vtuber with gorl voice modulator until a autistic vtuber fan will find out somehow

[@Dozarman]

Those weren't airstrikes, those were virus bombs usage

[@lordsylph414]

22:20 I mean, the man has *literally* sat down with the politician who was spreading lies about him for months, and had an open and frank discussion to sort out their differences on where each other stand on various issues. (Its on his Twitter/X) He’s invited people who are openly hostile to him and his beliefs down to Texas for a range day/lunch/dinner/discusion (the I Did a Thing debacle is one example) Brandon’s just a classy guy.

[@KipReacts]

Dude's legit. It's why I like him.

[@Lam6da98]

Wendigoon is just living evidence of John 15:18. He's just a good person

[@iCrowLink]

The reason his priority is himself and not 'fixing' this, is because he still feels that way. None of this made him realize: 'Maybe I was wrong' No he thinks he's a victim now and that he's being cancelled, he thinks he's a martyr going down for the cause. 😂 The dude is so far gone there's no reasoning with him.

[@KipReacts]

Dude really needs style professional help.

[@Dr_Monitor]

​@@KipReactsthe issue is, I know this sounds defeatist, the dude is beyond saving. Dude really curbstomped a landmine and went "well, Wendigoon put it there".

[@Tar-Numendil]

You just don't go after Wendigoon. To quote The Fat Electrician; "We do not like that shit."

[@Thisisausername556]

Yeah, Wendigoon is literally KZbin's version of America's boats. XD

[@Tar-Numendil]

@@Thisisausername556 Yep. I was thinking of Operation: Praying Mantis when I posted that.

[@LWolf12]

It's like shooting at doc.

[@sentient_trash]

The worst part is In Praise of Shadows would make a great metalcore band name

[@l0sts0ul89]

Praise The Dark/Darkness there we go

[@__DY__]

The ironic part is his name is a rip off of a Japanese book title. The book is very much about Japanese culture and aesthetics and not about a more generic subject. He hasn’t changed his name after being asked to not appropriate Japanese culture. Guess he failed his own moral purity test of proclaiming, “if a black person/minority said I’m not allowed to do or use x I would respect them. Unlike Wendigoon and his offensive cultural appropriating username that he refuses to change”.

[@Nitehawke]

King Trout sitting in Cody's lap through this segment is hilarious. Cody just wants a buffer between himself and Nic and we find out why not long after, lol. BOOP!

[@roxrequiem2935]

The amount of cans in front of Nick shoulda been a great clue.

[@uhagi6720]

IPOS didn't realize that he lacked the amount of clout to cause a MAD scenario, resulting in him getting eradicated all social media.

[@Critter68]

Oh, shit. I just realized. The acronym for his name described him IPOS I, POS (piece of shit).

[@KipReacts]

If there were actual citations and it was calling out someone who is objectively awful, it could have worked. He did neither of these things.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

​@KipReacts likely because he thought that what he did present was sufficient evidence of Wendigoon and friends being irredeemable raw pure inhuman evil. He was just wrong because his idea of what constitutes evil is so far outside the oviton window that no one else can see what he's seeing(because it doesn't exist)

[@PaulGAckerman]

Buh! Kip's reactions are to reacty. Buh! I watch your vids FOR your reactions and comments. I've already seen the oeiginal video.

[@KipReacts]

W comment.

[@hunteregging4935]

This was a good episode of Unsub, good thing we don't have 4 hour long react videos 😅

[@KipReacts]

I try really hard to contain my rambling lmao

[@mattb2583]

Unleash it. Don't contain it​@@KipReacts

[@watchface6836]

​@KipReacts I wouldn't worry about rambling too much. We are here for your takes after all. What's the point of watching a react video otherwise?

[@Zerpderp0]

​@@KipReactsI demand a podcast style react to podcasts with guests such as Kip, Kip, and more Kip. Possibly Fat Electrican as well

[@DogsRSweet]

I demand a Kip reaction to the original podcast!

[@leechowning2712]

See X-Man 1... "no hitting below the belt" "I thought there were no rules" "there aren't, but it will make him mad".

[@vidyastuff3509]

I strongly recommend people report In Praise of Shadows' channel and patreon. He would do it to you for far less.

[@alpharius2777]

Lets go!!! I love your content Kip!

[@tannerhall-cs]

You should watch one of King Trout's videos. He was the guy next to Fat Electrician and does content in a similar vein covering history related topics.

[@KipReacts]

I didn't know this, most excellent.

[@TheAsylumCat]

​@KipReacts he usually does ATF meme shorts, but he has videos on real conspiracies. My favorite thus far is the bacon and cigarettes one. Lsd dolphin is nuts, I have yet to finish it.

[@jrockz133t]

I believe that episode was the one Donut got booped, because that was the 2nd episode ever where he sat next to The Fat Electrician ever

[@Nolan65775]

It's like a David and Golaith story. Only David is an entitled asshole Goliath was just minding his own business and the rock David threw barely caused Goliath to notice but then caused all of Goliath's friends to come rolling up and started to pick apart David's entire personality to the point that David just walked off and disappeared from the public opinion.

[@McMannis505]

His choice to go after wendigoon instantly sealed his fate.

[@KipReacts]

Like, out of anyone on the platform to try and do a hit piece on, Wendigoon? Dude didn't even bring any receipts or evidence, just baseless claims and allegations with gross overgeneralizations. It's baffling that at no point did he self reflect and think that maybe this wasn't a good idea. But, he got engagement off of it, so maybe it was calculated.

[@Broomer52]

@@KipReactsfor people like him any response is a good response. Their ability to understand, communicate or even relate to others is so fundamentally broken they can only stand people exactly like themselves. If you agree with them then they’re God, if you disagree with them you’re the Devil, if everyone dogpiles on top of them then they’re a Martyr. The world revolves around them and you barely exist as a person in their head.

[@shawnmeads1024]

If you make a statement containing a demographic, and changing the demographic changes it's acceptance or responses to it. Neither statement is acceptable.

[@KipReacts]

The more I think about it, the more I like what Eli brought to the table in this video.

[@CertifiedSunset]

I think Eli is saying if you make a statement about one group or race of people and it's not racist to say, but if you change the race then it becomes racist, then maybe the statement itself is racist even if it's not generally believed to be. That's my interpretation at least.

[@Anurahm_Kycor]

I like to tell people "I don't know any white or black people, I just know people."

[@iCrowLink]

That starts to get into: 'I don't see color' territory, I get what people mean by that but it never sat right with me. It's fine to see color, just realize that no one is better or worse because their skin is a certain color. 😂

[@supremecaffeine2633]

​@iCrowLink "I don't see color" just means that race doesn't factor into that person's opinion. It is the least racist a person can be.

[@iCrowLink]

@@supremecaffeine2633 Like I said I get what people mean by it, it just sounds weird. Because it's obvious that everyone does see color, and there's nothing wrong with seeing color. 😋 Just realize no one is better or worse based on nothing but their skin color, that's all.

[@LighthawkTenchi]

While I agree that attitude is important, I personally like to find common ground with people of different cultures, like food or humor. Everyone needs to eat, and practically everyone likes to laugh, so while there are plenty of differences, I think we can use our similarities to forge relationships and learn about each other

[@chriscalvin5083]

Brandon Buckingham response video was good

[@TheSlammurai]

IPoS: Racism has no place in horror. Lovecraft: 😼

[@mutilator97]

I think the craziest part about the In Praise of Shadows situation is that the man realized his earnings tanked after his shitty take on The Hills Have Eyes, and proceeded to double, triple, and quadruple down while complaining about needing money the whole time

[@catsareamazing3616]

I'd love to see kip reaction to eddievrs story on the unsubscribe clips

[@DivusMagus]

I remember seeing vod of Windegoon's first KZbin live stream and he will left in years because he couldn't get to the intro because people wouldn't stop superchatting.

[@interviolet6675]

Kip ☺️💜

[@gastar805]

0:21 Holy shit a slaughter to prevail mention from a youtuber that i never even watched before, even though they didnf fully say it, it seemd like they knew the name, cause if they actualy did... Instant respect, that band fucking rules.

[@SebasTian58323]

Actually, In praise of shadows did explicitly say that being conservative is a problem, and part of the reason Wendigoon shouldn't be allowed in horror or public spaces.

[@enlightenednormie242]

IPOS should've sticked with his VE's on different types of Media, like his Nightmare Artist video and his video on the classic horror movie The Beyond were really good.

[@ryanhamilton6445]

A 'Kip L'' is a keeper of a quote😂

[@r4venprogr4m77]

THEY ARE CORRECT... if you can change connotation of statements with one word, then you should (at minimum) be aware of what you are saying

[@KipReacts]

Yeah, hard agree.

[@Critter68]

Wait! Kip remembered that there's more than two directions on the political compass? Holy crap, I thought I was alone.

[@RyanGoosing]

But I thought it was just two side. Those who are right. And those who are wrong. And the way I know is if they agree with me. Luv u k bye.

[@Critter68]

@RyanGoosing it makes sense for all the stupid people to think that, since all the media talks about is right vs. left and can't even get that right. Left and right denote economic policy. Left being more collectivistic vs. Right being more individualistic. And they flat out abuse the Authoitarian and Libertarianism ends of the compass.

[@KipReacts]

I bring up fairly consistently that people are rarely ever the extremes of two sides and usually are some form of gray in the middle.

[@Critter68]

​@KipReacts Yes, you do. But as you are typically reacting to what is said by others on this channel (obviously, that is the point of this channel) and others rarely mention anything other than right vs. left, this is the first I have heard you mention the other directions. It had just gotten to a point that I was worried that I kept hallucinating all the political compasses I've seen.

[@KipReacts]

@@Critter68 Yeah, fair. I forget that I'm reacting to polar topics. I know I said in a Shoe0nHead reaction the reason I don't really delve into politics is twofold. Technically threefold with firearms. 1. If I start to just parrot rhetoric I could damage my image for focusing on firearms safety and education. There are a lot of people that are spooked away from firearms by hyper politicized personnel and coverage of the idiots by news and social media that misuse firearms. I'm just here for safety and education. 2. I already have to have so many macro political and social discussions on the daily in my personal life. I really want to try and do other things with my life for reacting and making videos. I'm not big enough like Brandon Herrera or TheFatElectrician to not have going political backfire on me and kill my channel. That's how you fracture a community. 3. If I start talking politics, everyone's gonna get pissed off. Right, Left, Center, Up, Down, down the street, everyone's about to be upset with me because of how I look at the world. So I just don't.

[@ProfligateGhost]

He doesn't seem like the type of guy that would want to fix it genuinely. And with the way AI does voices alone, he totally could come back and we would never know.

[@RainbowDash2014]

Kip a another great reaction

[@jtdavie9466]

A better example in my opinion: I’m white but I’m a quarter Japanese and it shows just enough for me to look kinda weird but still look white. I get asked all the time what my heritage is but the way they ask is rarely polite. The way I hear it, especially from non whites is “what are you,” they can say that to me because I’m white, imagine a white guy saying that to a black person.

[@matthewjones605]

Not related to the base video but does anyone know what video with the starter pokemon in different generations is called?

[@ryantannar5301]

He could come back from this, but it would need to be after a REAL apology. Not a KZbin style apology, a real one. Say what you did wrong, apologize for it, recognize and quantify the harm you caused, and then sign off. Don't explain why you did it, don't make excuses. Just say you're sorry and the steps you're taking to improve.

[@BearInThaWoods]

Crazy idea but hear me out. What if we stopped making sweeping statements and encouraged people to become more precise in their speech? That could probably clear up like 90% of misunderstandings or at the very least make people think a little more critically than "Boog man bad"

[@CertifiedSunset]

One of the hardest things for people to admit is that they might be wrong, or that others have differing views. And accepting those differences while getting to know who they are underneath the ideological armor. Many people cannot do it anymore these days with politics becoming more and more radicalized, that people like praise of shadows feel comfortable attacking someone who by all accounts is a good person for no other reason than he became popular on a platform or genre he's passionate about while not politically falling in line with him. While I'll respect Wendigoon's wishes to not harass that individual. I refuse to forgive him for such an egregious hit piece with zero evidence and blanket racist statements. IPOS got what he deserved and my empathy for that individual is nonexistent. You reap what you sow.

[@XIII76448]

My friend I’ve known since middle school has randomly odd views, atleast in my mind. I’m very pragmatic and intellectual based. But I’ve learned how to understand and adapt things from not my perspective and if it’s beneficial to implement into my mindset. Him and I do NOT agree at all times but we are still like brothers and that will not change just bc we agree to disagree. Debating him is fun though bc he’s usually not understanding the point lol.

[@stevenmiller7043]

Eli is the greatest. Such a good human.

[@KipReacts]

Dude is legit.

[@fatcoyote2]

I did not like nor believe the "If I can substitute one word and it becomes a problem, then it doesn't make sense" argument, because it ignores the intrinsically, and completely provable, issues with said argument. I'm going to type Black Power. This is a movement with racial discrimination in it, however, it is linked with the plight of a minority which has always and still is seen as lesser by the institutions of this country. I'm going to type Brown Power. Same. Now if I say White Power, this argument stands that it shouldn't matter. But I bet he would at least hesitate to say White Power in an all-Black neighborhood and try to argue that it simply means that White people should be proud of themselves. And the fact that he would maybe catch flack for it (at the very least) and be aware of the reasons why would prove that these instances, for good or ill, are not equivalent. Cue the famous Delroy Lindo clip of him daring the white host of the show he's on to say the N-Word after the host argued that it was hypocritical that he couldn't say it if African Americans could. I am not going after anyone after this, but this argument has always bothered me, not least which of it is that I used to make the same argument.

[@lawrencelopez9839]

yeah, different groups have gone through differing cultures and histories of oppression, so what's not racist and what is towards each group will obviously differ. Like how black lives is fine and yellow lives is racist.

[@Flash_Flood44]

If you’re gonna do a headpiece look at who the guys friends are. Does anybody really want to go up against the Unsub guys?

[@69nites]

Wendigoon is a good man who doesn't wish ill on those who wish ill on him. I'm not.

[@k96man]

I recommend a video by khavvah called "is horror really left wing" It goes into how even without the hit pieces IPOS doesn't really have a good understanding of horror

[@nightmare8450]

If your boyfriend's got beef tell him I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him

[@LWolf12]

If you randomly said the n word in a video, I'd genuinely wonder if something was wrong because it would seem out of character.
