It’s crazy how far he’s fallen. His brother appeared in a few of his videos in the past, and then he had to publicly distance himself via social media a few months ago because Shad has gone so far off the deep end and is pulling in and attracting the polar opposite of Jazza’s audience.

Shad is such a weird case. We've all heard of "Go big or go home". But he is going home BECAUSE he's gone big. Because he thought he could open a politically invested channel, Kightswatch, and started to share his honest pro-position about a hated topic, AI, People and OTHER CREATORS (Skallagrim, Scholagladiatoria, Hellofutureme, OSP) and people who previously had him in their viddeo in one shape or form, removed themselves from him, which also hurt his reach.

I don't even think high sexuality in a game is necessarily bad, but gooners think they are the only gamers and cry too much when game studios want their game to be played by everybody, and thus be a comfortable experience for the ever growing audience that may be put off by unnecessary sexual elements.

[@MasoTrumoi]

Sexuality has never been a problem in a game, agency has been and commodification. When people talk about "objectifying" women they mean where it's clear the woman has been designed as an object of desire, not a subject. Voyeuristic camera angles that make her seemingly unaware of your attention, outfits that don't fit the theme of the character but are just lingerie or bikinis, or every aspect of her character existing to reinforce or celebrate a man the player plays as. That kind of thing. Bayonetta is beloved by women and queer people because she's active in her sexuality. When the camera pans to her butt she pops it out and gives a sassy moan, she pole dances while beating demons to shit, her sexy outfit is unnervingly also her hair. She's also the hero and one of the most powerful beings in her setting, constantly making choices and strutting up to powerful beings and laughing at them. The problem was never sexuality, that was a strawman the gooners used to try and demonize the changes to writing, the problem was shitty writing for better merch sales.

Tyler, a great point about people actually searching out the things they enjoy. I've been saying it for ages when channels complain about views/subs not watching their channels that there's three easy ways to find out if a channel I like has posted new stuff. Actually going to the channel once a week, checking the bell notification, or checking the subs page. I'm one of the people who massively oversub, yet I always keep up with the channels that are my "top favs" because I'm actively making sure I do so. If someone's quality (for me) drops off, I'll usually remain subbed, but my focus on keeping up with their work will fade away until I'm checking maybe once a month or so and then just picking whatever video title catches my attention. That this fact keeps getting missed by all the channels complaining about their revenue bugs the living fuck out of me.

Forgotten weapons is good for modern stuff schola gladiatoria is best for early weapons

[@beansnrice321]

Shadiversity? More like Shativersity. Amiright?

[@Xeonort]

Dude shat the bed so bad his own brother, who is a beacon of artistic creativity, positivity, and inclusion, had to publicly distance himself from him on social media.

[@LinuxNavigator]

Before one can be a personality queen, he needs to have a personality.

[@obiwanshinobi87]

6:05 That is actually pretty accurate... His latest Tomb Raider video was the one that did it for me

[@brandonf5876]

I'm not even subscribed to that joker and I get his stuff reccomend to me constantly. It's not the algorithm 😅

[@dungeonmaster217]

I used to be shad's sub for his sword content, was subbed oh him but forgot his channel for a while. When he poped up recently I unsubscribed, but youtube kept recommening me his videos that I ignored for a while, and then it either stopped or I blocked him in recomendation. "Boo-hoo algrorhitm killing my channel". No, Shad, people just don't like you and don't want to support you by watching your videos.

[@woundedone]

The meandering talk about how woke he think a game or a movie is insufferable.

[@groverkeil4483]

He got divorced (you don't see the ring anymore) and it broke him lol

[@Youssoupoff.]

God tier background noise for art

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Buddy, I don’t care if you’re on the left while I still consider myself somewhat center-right. After watching several of your videos, I can safely say you’re both very entertaining and not afraid to just come out and speak your piece on the matter unlike a lot of the anti-woke crowd that I had a falling out with a while back, and I completely respect you for it. Keep up the good work, as you’re going to go far unlike Shad here. 😊

[@antoniodittman5820]

Have watched a bunch of your shad videos and was feeling at , but the second you started talking about the overcorporatization of america being the source of most of its problems was when I decided to subscribe.

[@AmyStrikesBack]

Behold, james summerton's homophobic brother!

[@karahedge7360]

Tyler. Not gonna lie. I subbed because I loved your truth from a small channel telling truth on Shadiveritsy. I think you're commentary has gotten even better.

[@SultanDesync]

I used to watch his video game castle reviews where he talked about the architecture and how realistic or not they were. There hasn't been a lot of that on the market lately and I already learned about the topic. Did he think there would be an unlimited appetite for his content? Can an audience just be satiated with a topic?

[@johncruickshank9763]

He’s not even a medieval historian he’s just a bloke with opinions, not even good ones. I used to lone him then i got more knowledgeable and saw how bad he was

[@SuperGauravgautam]

you know that meme from simpsons that goes, “stop he is already dead”

[@settledcube8877]

Btw, shad says he's Christian, this is not true, he is Mormon, and by Christian doctrine he is a heretic, I'm not even religious and I knew that lol

[@armyofuno8196]

Exactly

[@borealmarinda4337]

I wouldn't take Christian heresiology as a good metric of what to consider Christian/non-Christian. Sure, Mormonism is a weird cult that functions only in the way it cuts itself off from mainstream Christianity, but the theological differences are so nuanced and minute that I have a hard time distinguishing the significance of their brand of cult from any other denomination. They believe in God the Father and in God the Son. They believe that Christ is the savior and the god to worship without devaluing God the Father. They believe that Holy Spirit exists and is one together with the Son and the Father. Only it's not the Nicenic unity, but a "separate but united Gods" sort of unity. They conflate Jesus with Yahweh in some twisted reconstruction of Elohist-Yahwist distinction, they extrapolated material nature of Father from this distinction, and they somehow managed to accidentally reconstruct a consort for him. They added an angel, added a prophet, have weird Americo-centric rewriting of history, and many other things that rightly label them as a weird cult, but why non-Christian? They worship Christ, they worship him as God and messiah, their theology comes clearly directly from mainstream Christianity, and just like all the other denominations they have non-canonical made-up BS that makes them heretics to all other sects. I would understand Gnostic ideas to be unchristian because they reject God and they don't see Christ as God. I understand Rastafari to be separate because of mutual discrediting between the Rastas and Christians, as well as them labeling Christian theological objects as Satanic. And I would even accept that early Christianity is not the same as Christianity right after. But Mormons just seem like a weird Christian cult.

[@Nuvizzle]

I mean, he is Christian. There is no single Christian doctrine. Mormonism believes Christ is the messiah so it's a Christian religion. They just believe a whole bunch of other insanity that other Christian denominations say are wrong, like for example Jesus being American. I think we all agree Protestants and Catholics are both Christians but that didn't stop them from murdering the hell out of eachother during The Troubles.

[@Arvak777]

Agreed. I'm Christian and from what Ive researched, Mormons believe "follow the rules and you become a god and have babies in heaven". Absolute heresy and blasphemous tbh

[@jayhill2193]

leaving a comment to see if someone will debate you on this, might be fun

[@lindseyfaelan8339]

Oh my god, when you dropped into the Pirate Software bit I almost died. Perfect. also though... I'm unsure why Shad even feels like he needs to make a video like this. Like, does anyone actually care? Surely if there's a problem. He should focus on fixing it, instead of putting out such a long video explaining whats going wrong and thus draw even more attention to the problems. It feels like a waste of his shitty Australian bandwidth lol

[@thac0twenty377]

100b percent right. Shad was fun doinf sword, eeveiing duels on shows. Then hed have these 30 minute rants on taeditonal values and Mormon beleifs and i just quit. who watches dnd sword anylsis to be proselytyzed too?

[@borealmarinda4337]

Shout outs to the editor for the 5:30 TikTokification.

[@hexaldecima6839]

I've been waiting for this upload since his upload.

[@AndrogynousRatCatcher]

I literally just finished Actual Jake's video on this! Perfect timing

[@latenightdriver9680]

OHMYGOD YOU HAVE A BUNNY!!!! I started watching you yesterday, and liking the content, but that precious angel just called for my sub 😭😭😭 I have 3 myself, and they are my world 😁❤

[@Rakebab1]

Gorpo is life

[@Ychos027]

I originally subscribed to watch you make fun of Shad even without watching these live btw xD

[@brunoactis1104]

I used to watch him basically until i found Knights Watch. Now i glanced over his channel and it's either uninteresting or repetitive, stuff that everybody that watches his channel already knows, like the "Is the katana effective against armor?" Or whatever, like dude, it's not, this is the 10th time you've made this video. Now he just added an ass into the thumbnail of his latest video lol, and it's not working anyway.

[@megahobbit5972]

Oh hey this is the very stream i joined. Made my comments there but as usual Shad doesnt get KZbin and he is coping HARD. So hard Copium is his main source of nutrients.

[@doratheexploder286]

georg rockall schmidt did a hilarious parody of shads video " KZbin is KILLING this channel - Shillversity is dying "

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

33:42 bunny noms paw

[@karahedge7360]

He probably got surges from his hating the sequels for Star Wars. Thank you also for being honest about how youtube works.

[@odojang]

What happens to Shad is also happening with Midnight Edge; at least in my case. They are now so deep in the orange kool-aid of Trumpian nonsense, even their media/entertainment analysis, once spot on, are now but political platforming; the very thing they accuse ''the left'' of. I unsubscribed from them and have stopped watching Shad for more than a year now. Almost got off Nerdrotic because of his Trumpism but he is much more discreet and brief with it so I can get by... for now. Nothing annoys me more than someone throwing his politics or his religion in my face.

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

It’s funny how they complain about “the message” while not realizing that they’re doing the exact same thing, just in reverse

[@choczynski]

I don't remember why I subscribe to you but this is the content I keep coming back for Trash can armor Hammer fight, love to see it

[@GrouchyC794]

I was waiting for you 😂. He shoots himself in foot anytime someone tries to give good advice on Reddit it’s locked or deleted he and his ass kissers. Also they don’t even let you talk about his other channels on the Reddit

[@icecoffey488]

19:48 "theyre fun great videos" he talks like this constantly with his content ive noticed, more showing less telling would be my advice

[@heybearnation]

That's all he knows, isn't it? Isn't his book full of exposition after exposition paragraphs? Isn't his character redeemed because Shad said so instead of shown through his actions, sacrifices, etc?

[@joostq.vansantvoort5245]

The only sad thing about Shads channel dying would be that I could no longer enjoy you making fun of him

[@Maerahn]

So Shad invited THE ENTIRE INTERNET to his Quarterly Staff Meeting then...? Well thanks, but we're not on the payroll so we don't actually care mate. Sorry if that's harsh, but... y'know... I unsubscribed as soon as he started with his AI self-fellating crap. At that point I didn't even know about his Knight's Watch channel - if I had, I would DEFINITELY have unsubbed WAAAAY sooner.

[@Xeonort]

I wouldn’t show up even if he did pay me.

[@merten0083]

ngl, I find it hard to click on his videos nowadays, he's always angry or upset at something that's the 'current thing' in the internet at the time and I'm not looking for that kind of energy sometimes.

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

It doesn’t help that what he gets mad at is really, really stupid. Princess Peach is in pants?! But my MASCULINITY -Shad

[@Arkady20]

55:24 when he started doing Trump I lost my shit

[@doogler9362]

Oh shade does do the click bait thumbnails, for the "is the kantana a hot girl" the thumbnail he originally release was just a picture of him holding one and the word wh*re woth an arrow pointing at the sword

[@petesematary]

RIP in pepperonis, shaddy boy

[@the_pseudo_nim]

24:45 New here. I was successful in high-school but 6 out early in college & didnt finish. At 37 years old I've been gravitating towards content that is teaching me how to better form & express my thoughts & beliefs so as to avoid unnecessary altercations. I'm connecting with your methods which is awesome but its moments like this one that really take it to the next level.

[@samw5983]

57:00 The Shadlands image isn't AI generated (as much as it looks like it is). It's a picture of a plot of farmland he bought some 3 years ago. He intends/ed (idk what's happening with it any more) to make into a medieval themed park/experience. Those buildings where made by him in sketch-up.

[@nyanchat2657]

tl;dr he got radicalized same thing has happened to a lot of writing channels I used to watch, they do nothing but whine about leftists ending society or whatever

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

While completely ignoring their own hypocritical talking points. It’s boring. Funny how Shad whines and whinges about “Mary sues” then goes out and writes the BIGGEST Gary Stu I’ve ever seen

[@LemonMoon]

You need to post the pirate softworks bit as a short

[@ryszakowy]

Terrific Trump impression. Voice is almost there, and the mannerisms and cadence is _spot on_ I'm rolling!

[@johnnygreenface]

I wasn't feeling this video, but once I got to the end I got the sudden compulsion to like and subscribe. So I did. Excellent vod

[@valeriaaraujo9962]

Wait, I thought that you are reacting to a video he made about a year ago where he complains about the same thing ! Lol, Is this a annual thing for him to whine about KZbin instead of self reflect and accept people are starting to lose interest on him?!

[@olivierdelatouche9453]

oh my, that pirate software bit was fire, that sir, is how you gain a new sub . greetings from Paris bruv

[@kombatwombat6579]

What this video needs desperately is 100% more Cousin Dollar-Store Tyler just deadpan Jim-looking at the camera for one straight hour while his soul leaves his body and Sir Cumference here gives his denial speech. Also: VOD Gang VOD Gang VOD Gang. Edit: I can't spell.
