Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

The #dnd #osr SJWs like all of John Potato's friends are the biggest Nazis in the hobby. They believe all the same garbage Varg does.

Personally I found Battle's video to be pathetic, I mean he practically called Grim Jim alt-right. It's so ham fisted that I'm embarrassed for the folks that found it persuasive and can only guess they didn't actually watch it but just knew it was politically like-minded.

Since google hides dislikes, here's the info for the Battle video:

He just vomited out a load of "non-facts", cheery picked some stuff or just took quotes right out of context. Just another chubby little oxygen thief trying to get virtual back slaps from the mob who already want to believe, that these three characters are as bad as everyone else says.

Why learn about the truth, when you can just sit back and let someone fill you with excrement. Who needs the facts, eh?

"Feelings are facts," so speaks the Potatoman ...

... so by that nonlinear logic, his whole presentation was a documentary(?)

All I know is both Grim's video and (particularly) the above mentioned livestream response were at times comedy gold in the ridicule of the troglodyte.

Did anyone else laugh at that 1967 teachers experiment that was supposed to show how Pundit/Venger/Grim are drawing people into their Nazi ways but instead looked exactly like modern leftist Covid group-think.

Dollipop posted her own 2 hour plus response video on her own channel too.

TBH, I feel much like that about all of the videos by all of the posters mentioned. All are just emotionally charged clickbaiters.

Yeah, as soon as his video started with references to the Third Wave project, I knew it was going to be comedy gold.  Anytime you see one of these idiots reference it, the ironic humor meter goes off the scale.

...but these are people who make statements like

1.  If  you have 1 Nazi at a table and 10 people are talking to them then you have 11 Nazis.
2.  If you agree with even 1 thing Nazis espoused you are a Nazi.

---which shows they have less accurate knowledge of the topic than the average 10-year-old who just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time.

The only thing though, is that the potato here, is using very specific ad-hominem attacks. If he was just bleating on about the OSR as a 'group' that would be more legitimate. Even though he'd still be telling a load of porkies.

I had good laugh at that and even more when he said Dollypop was dangerous.
