    Mandy and Sseth are basically the same (the former more than the latter, Sseth is markedly more stable now) and have also stayed relevant for a decade or so in the adult gaming “subculture”. And thank God for that. Charlie (penguinz) fell off like half a decade (EDIT: actually, over a decade ago, I’m just in my 30s so time is starting to mesh) ago at least, but he seems to be a nice and overall normal dude so I wish him the best even if I no longer find him entertaining. 🙏

      My problem with Penguin0 is that he’s an outrage junkie.

      Anytime there’s even a morsel of drama, he’s got a video out for it within 30 minutes.

      And there is a possibility that one of his videos ended up getting the pedophile lead singer of the lost prophets killed in prison, or at least contributed to the awareness of the situation for the prisoner that killed him.

      And he seems rather chuffed at that.

      I cannot remember a single video he made that has actually been good and worth watching that wasn’t him clowning on somebody for being a piece of shit.

        I’m just surprised he hasn’t gone full chud, which is kinda impressive given his niche. He must be good at not getting radicalized by some single issue crusade like so many similar influencers.

          On the positive side of things, if you are someone whose mind is still in its formative stages, having someone like him talk about how horrible evil people are and how you should not be like that person is probably a good thing.

        Ah shit, I didn’t know about any of it, I haven’t even been subscribed ever since he started posting videos showing his face. Slightly disappointing, NGL. Believe it or not, he used to host a silly, short-form, gaming commentary channel, kinda like Dunkey (another one I used to watch almost religiously but he’s now a husband and a father so he gets a pass, lol) but slightly less autistic. I still remember the Happy Wheels, Mr. President and Safety Driving series… and a quick YT check showed me those videos are at least 11 years old. 🥲

          I’m not implying anyone should lose any sleep on that specific outcome, it was just the one thing that stuck in my mind when I was thinking about how he is searching for drama to harp on.
