Comment on PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t really have it in me to hold enough of a grudge against a YouTuber to be one of their “haters”, but even I’m not a fan of Pirate Software due to the Stop Killing Games mess he put out. Still, the comment I responded to seemed completely disconnected from the video linked here.

Just look at the hate filled messages in this thread. He shares his opinion on video games but people act like he spreads bigotry and prejudice. He doesn’t want to sign a petition to regulate video games. He’s allowed to have an opinion.

It’s not some fucking witch hunt. He’s a pretentious asshole, who thinks he is better than everyone else.
And yes people can have their own opinions, but he misrepresented the goals of the petition on purpose. Then he refused to debate it with someone (who knows what the petition was actually about) on live when called out.
He has no balls or mana.

Right, but there are people who are openly Nazis. I get that he’s got an ego but he doesn’t seem to have hateful views. I just find the amount of hate he attracts just for being a know it all seems way out of proportion.

He is also a grifter. Why would you be surprised that content from a fraudster (irrespective of whether a “know it all persona” is used in marketing or not) gets downvoted?
And generally, there is reason to be skeptical of content from gaming content creators that concern games. There are much better sources for such discussions.

the whataboutism is ignorant.
