Teaching Retroblasting a Lesson (part 1)

Michael French often has the tendency to misinterpret statements/comments. Apparently, everything contains a personal attack. Further, it does not matter, what is being stated, but who is stating it.
About 6 months ago Michael French made an awkward remark regarding my nationality. It's time to check out, what he really knows about certain topics...
Remember refer from name calling at the comment section, also regarding Michael French or any other person.

Michael French is like that kid in grade school no one liked but was forced to hang out with because their moms were friends.

[@benjerison7074]

Speaking of not being liked, he claims to be always bullied in school and used Star Wars as his means of escapism. No wonder he grew up to be a bitter, self-righteous prick.

[@benjerison7074]

I'm not surprised at this, Michael tends to lash out at everyone even at his fans (his meltdown on Sunny is already a good example) then posts their interactions on his FB page so his fans can point and laugh at that person or worse, send his army (3POA, Analog Toys, Articulated Ninja, It's Chad and other sycophants of Michael) to harass that poor schmuck who tried to cross Michael on that day. Any insult towards Michael will be seen as a threat. Heck, you can even send a troll letter and he will respond to it and make threats to a non-existent entity. Makes you wonder what Michael does on his spare time aside from saving screenshots of his $h/t-list on his computer just because he is that bitter. I think you need to send him a picture of Kylie Minogue after this video so that he can calm his poor behind for a few minutes. Hey, he has his own Kylie Minogue shrine. I wonder what his wife feels about having a female shrine, tsk tsk.

Keep in mind that Michael copied the ~Angry Video Game Nerd~ gimmick. I think that made him look way more charismatic and "charming" than he actually is. I would like to know just out of curiosity how many of his followers even know about AVGN. I always say, just be yourself, because it will pay off at the end. Sooner or later Michael will be buried by the very thing that gave him all this attention. If I had known that Michael was some weird Control Freak, I might have watched a video of him here and there, but I would never have interacted with his content at all. I can only blame myself for being naive

[@benjerison7074]

@@JustMe-tm5dc I doubt that he copied the AVGN gimmick in the first place. He's just that insufferable in real life. Why else would he try to dox a YTber named Danoby who liked that Star Wars Sail Barge and who called out Michael about putting down Haslab when it was still in its infancy? It's his money at the end of the day but doxxing a person for liking a toy? It's just petty and a low blow.

[@JustMe-tm5dc]

@@benjerison7074 He himself said that his show is heavily inspired by AVGN. I mean when you look at their intro's and a lot of the content. How they choose to deliver, you can tell that there is a big similarity. However, while AVGN is top class parody and very great at commenting and narrating, Michael French is like an elephant believing in figure skating. When you're new to the channel, you might think that he is parody as well, but you would never guess that he is serious.🤣

@benjerison7074 ... "I'm not surprised at this, Michael tends to lash out at everyone, even at his fan..." This is 100% true, I was a patreon of Retro-blasting for a brief period, back when he used to make actual content. He posted a video back when he would go to conventions, of him stating, "We always return our e-mails", back when he was struggling for subscribers. He in fact does not. Nor does he treat the people that pay him with an once of respect, they are beneath him. Now all he does is opinion video`s of him ranting about various subjects, and is exceptionally rude and belligerent to anyone that asks him a simple question. I honestly don`t understand how he still has a channel anymore. "or worse, send his army (3POA, Analog Toys, Articulated Ninja, It's Chad and other sycophants of Michael) to harass that poor schmuck who tried to cross Michael on that day." ....Also 100% true.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

Thanks for this. Man is also a liar. Claims to have been a Hollywood screenwriter but his resume doesn't have any timeline space for it. Claims to have been a staff writer on a site that is clearly his own fan site. He actually worked in online PR.

[@benjerison7074]

Maybe him being a screenwriter existed in his delusions of grandeur. Or he just made it up to impress his so-called wife.

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

@@benjerison7074what’s the deal with that? Is Melinda not his wife? Aren’t they married?

[@benjerison7074]

@@artkingofwholefoods74 They are but he has a Kylie Minogue shrine in his home just to calm him down despite being married. It's more of a mother/son relationship with his wife when Melinda has to act like a mother to Michael as well every time he has a mental breakdown.

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

@@benjerison7074 I don’t see her as much in the videos anymore. I wonder if he subconsciously, or consciously is selfish with it… 🤔 Imagine if she leaves his ass? DAMN… He would ABSOLUTELY lose it. Can you imagine that divorce? Half his toys would be gone. Those cabinets would be 1/2 empty. Tony would move in, they would start using together. Then they’re selling Micheal’s toys to Toy Federation for more drug money. 🤣

[@benjerison7074]

@@artkingofwholefoods74 Melinda doesn't want to associate that much with Michael, no doubt about it despite being one of the founders of Retroblasting. Although there are some people who say that Melinda is as crazy as Michael but she can hide it unlike her avtistic husband. That makes sense why she married an unstable jerk.

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

You called this part 1 but why? Is there more to this? it's been 4 weeks

[@SunnysCommentsnReactions]

Patience! I am quite busy. And somewhat slow. Apart from that part 2 requires some more preparation. And so far I have not seen Michael French answering my question either.

[@duagrentia]

@@SunnysCommentsnReactions I was about to ask this question too but Michael 1) didn't see this video. 2) is trying to spin the narrative that he's being bullied again for the nth time. 3) is gathering an online army (yeah sure) to bully your channel like the coward that he is.

[@SunnysCommentsnReactions]

@@duagrentia Thanks for the warning, but I anticipated that.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

I stopped watching him years ago. He's such an immature, toxically negative, insufferable stick in the mud. Either you agree with him 100%, or you're his enemy. I do enjoy his wife's "Dreamland" podcast (my SN is entirely coincidental, chosen years before the show). I hate the fact I have to give his channel views in order to watch the podcast.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

He has delusions for sure. A site claimed years ago that he told Corporate America to go to hell around 2019. I remember a video of his in the fall of that year claiming he has no money, that Melinda does. He has been on an anti-corporate kick ever since. Clearly, he was booted out of his job.

[@asgads]

I watched his evanglion video about 4 times, it´s hilarious and makes me laugh. A masterclass in spite

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The complete insanity of this guy has never been explored. I imagine him like a vast black hole. That can never be explored entirely to ascertain it's dimensions. 😂❤

[@K12machinima]

Man, you really taught him a lesson. Next, are you’re gonna waggle your finger at him, and tell him he’s a bad man? Lord, he is over dramatic in his comment section, but he makes quality content. I’ll agree his latest stuff is kind of pretentious and comes off as angry for no real reason, but, oh well, it’s his channel, let him sink it if he wants to. I don’t get the point of even getting into a drama over him or his views - at the end of the day, this all just crap about toys, designed for children, bought by adults… I don’t get it… it’s like arguing over who’s the cooler super hero, when none of it’s even real or matters, at the end of the day.

[@SunnysCommentsnReactions]

This was part 1. Just as I said to another commenter…have patience. Part 2 is coming before end of June.

[@K12machinima]

@@SunnysCommentsnReactions Pfft, you’re trying to capitalize off drama, based on your other videos, and it’s not a good look for a budding channel, and speaks volumes about the kind of people that you’ll bring to your channel in the future. Best of luck with whatever garbage you put out in the future, mate.

[@SunnysCommentsnReactions]

@@K12machinima You call it drama, I call it „setting things right“. And mate, you got no idea what‘s coming up. Not on in the slightest. But hey, you‘re welcome to drop in on occassion. And when I am done with the self-promoters, I‘ll have other stuff. A lot. And so little time, thus first things first.

[@K12machinima]

@@SunnysCommentsnReactions Nah, unless you’ve got some expose that somehow reveals Michael as a child predator who’s been dealing nuclear arms on the side, it’s called drama - and you’re drumming at it for views, over a negative livestream reaction. You also don’t clarify WHY Michael was aware of your past actions in his streams, so, you’re just leaving something out to cover up a gaping hole in your own narrative. You leave the viewer to try and ignore that, when you don’t specify what lead up to this interaction, and you know, frankly, I don’t really care, because you’re already the kind of person that I wouldn’t trust or want to be around - in real life or internet interaction. You seem suspect and opportunistic, and like the kind of person who wants to sew discourse for the sake of a view… over toys… I mean, like I said, I just have RB on as cleaning/work noise because his restoration videos are quite relaxing, and I’m not trying to act like Michael is perfect, but… man, you just come off as acting aloof and confident, without real substance. Hell, maybe you DO blow the lid of something… I doubt it, but, good luck, yet, don’t be shocked when Michael inevitably finds out about whatever you make, and he responds with a video of his own. Also, based on Michael’s seemingly-infinite amount of “receipts”, I wouldn’t be shocked if you’re omitting something - he’s not like Boogie, Onision, Chris Chan, or any other lolcow, who falters at the sign of tension. Good luck.

[@SunnysCommentsnReactions]

Wall of text with no substance, but false allegations. I can tell you what I did to Michael French. I did not violate the typical code of conduct like inappropriate language, bullying, etc. What I did was on occasion stating something, that neither he, nor his guest did not know about a topic they were talking. And for that I was called a „pedantic arse“, and eventually blocked plus further discredited. And that from a man, who self-proclaims to be „a big fan of the truth“. Maybe, he is only interested in it, when it‘s coming from his very own mouth. Or that of his closest associates. But when somebody tells me something I do not know, and this person’s statement is sound, or is verified via fact check, I thank this person for it. And unlike him, I do not feel important. But maybe some things I have to say are important. I don‘t care for subs. Views are nice. The more people see and realize, what‘s actually going on, the better. Anyway, as I said, all in due time. I am not a professional KZbinr, I am often away from home for lengthy times, and am quite busy. So, I would appreciate it if we could now leave it at that, and you drop in another time…or not. That‘s your decision. But any more comments containing pseudo profiling, false allegations etc. will be deleted, as I do not enjoy discussions going in circles. You won‘t be blocked. That‘s their way, not mine. But I am tired of this kind of talk from people, who have no idea what‘s under the surface.

[@paltrax]

lol i wish i couldn't belive it, but i have experienced it too. michael will read your comment,and decide it's a personal attack. and will then proceed to bark at you.

[@benjerison7074]

Even a compliment can seem like an insult to him. Dude's a psychopath. He will also post it on his FB of your chats with him for his lapdogs to laugh about or worse, send his fellow Valaverse shills like Analog Toys, Articulated Ninja, It's Chad, 3POA, etc. if you really pissed him that day.

[@susanwright9577]

The way he responded to a comment by Victoria's Cantina in his new video about the Cantina Haslab left me speechless. He's so rude.
