Something to do with the times and what to observe in this.

If he lived to see the 2010's and the SJW movement, things would have been different, given he already shat on political correctness and even talked about how people raised their kids to refuse to admit them the concept of loss (Those very same "participation trophies" kids grew up to me the kind of people that talk about politics online now).

Specially Lets Players trying to be funny or essay video guys making shit up.

Because even if there's videos detailing info about a game like every potential route of an RPG or examining a game's balance etc, people don't even watch those or full playthroughs with no commentary.

If you watch the same game played by Vinny Vinesauce, OneyPlays, Markiplier etc you're still not a fan of the game but a fan of those guys.

And even info/detailed analysis of games and gameplay aren't perfect.

Like Decino goes a lot to examine Doom stuff but when he did about Doomguy's face, he didn't bring up the fact that Doomguy's face can indicate if you were hit from the left or right.

Videogames in general have potential for personal experiences, specially RPG's with different routes (Given that popular JRPG series Persona for example, has a big problem with trendy fake fans for the sake of community/socialization).

There's also how Videogamedunkey made a lot of "heh JRPG's are cringe" statements and I think he was caught stealing footage of a Dragon Quest game during a review (That people otherwise tell you to not take it seriously because he's just a goof, even though they still buy his opinions).

In some ways, Youtubers are worse than game journos because of the audiences attached.

His methods are probably carried by people online and that explains a lot.

Sure, you can say that anyone does it without even knowing who the fuck he is, SPECIALLY if you're familiar with the concept of trolling (The ancient internet thing people nowadays call "rage baiting" for some reason).

But that specific "for the lulz" attitude doesn't exist in the current scheem of things, because if anything, you have people that try to "troll for a good cause".

A lot of people that try to be smug eventually break that status to take something seriously and break that false character.

I think this in general can be traced to the 2007 Chanology/Scientology thing on 4chan, which led to a split of "trolling for good vs trolling for the sake of actual trolling".

Either way, the Alinsky stuff can explain why some people do the "having a normal one bit" at least.

I also think in ways it can backfire, because the more you disengage and mock the opposition, they'll just get mad and assume you don't believe in anything, so the good cause you had in mind might fall apart.

A Sharty is like if that rainbow kid suddenly decided to be edgy and attack the 4chan/SA guy as if he tried out-edging him, even though the traits of being a product of gentrification still exist within him.

Also somewhat biting the hand that feeds, given that "Sharty culture" is a worse, more strict, limited and crazier version of imageboard culture.

They hate 4chan, SA etc when they're the ones that gave some of the fruits they feed upon and can barely create anything new anyway.

It's like a leech insulting the very same human it's taking blood from or spoiled kids insulting their parents while taking their inheritence they didn't really work for.

And Sharties, being zoomers, had worse internet experiences given the time periods compared to Millenials who didn't realize the good stuff they had.

They made shitty wojak memes like "wasted 20 years on a porn board award" when besides the worse internet experiences that zoomers on average had, Sharties also admit sharing the same "porn bad" sentiment as woke zoomers that got their stances from Tumblr refugees.

Essentially being closer to the opposite side than previous generations of left and right; Meaning under slight circumstances, a Sharty zoomer could've been a woke one.

And some of them still show up on 4chan like ex-girlfriends that still stalk their boyfriends even after saying they're done with them.

At least Gamergate guys did left 4chan and sticked with their alt boards, most of the time.

Anyway here's the rainbow hair image I'm talking about: Both the original and the "cool edgy 4chan guy" response are bad and you can tell this aged when people get to find out the older generation became part of the problem with shit like troll's remorse.

Mainly used by people that are self conscious of being "too online" in an age where "the normal people" were already affected by the internet after COVID.

People in general don't know how to observe what's around them ("things didn't change, you just grew up") and that's why most people online have the same speech patterns and vocabolary.
