It’s been so long but I still consider this one of the worst criticisms of fantano ever conceived. They quite literally accused an extremely far-left vegan nerd of being a racist alt-right edgelord. It’s like calling Johnny Sins a virgin
I got so pissed reading that article. Loved this video, I hate these fucking takedown pieces based on bullshit. Everyone just wants to call people "problematic" The dude that wrote this along with the "editor in chief" that doesn't even bother to watch your videos is PATHETIC.
@@CEO_Of_Racism-fk3qv not even close to center lol. Bro I know nothing about you but if you seriously think that Anthony Fantano is anything other than far left then I can certainly guarantee you're a stupid person
Nah bruh its cause people like you react to it so strongly cause YOUR sensitive. You can’t ignore the article and leave it be. Instead you need to go up in arms and give it views. Y’all seriously are wack af.
@@jackbowser3684 I've never really thought about it like that but you're right. People who claim liberals are overly sensitive spread their veiws. When a Russian lady started pouring bleach on male parts a bunch of people said she was overly sensitive reacted overly sensitive and spreaded her massage everywhere. If only more people thought about it like that.
it's not "people" so much, but a decently sized portion of media making money from people's likeness to be easily swayed and not do research. oh well, fuck in a way all it's doing is creating a larger divide between smart people and dumb people.
Fader lost any credibility they might have had. I'm starting to tire of people saying memes are exclusively an alt-right thing. TBH I miss thatistheplan, and I hope you can find a way to nuke Fader out of excistance in a legal way for what I essentially view as actual defamation - they knew the alt-right label has weight to it and that's why they labeled you as such. I never got an alt-right vibe from you.
Snoop Well you can't blame CASSO for not noticing. I mean thatistheplan has like an orange beanie he wears when we know Anthony is bald so I think Anthony just didn't want to be associated with that channel so he went through all that work to wear an orange beanie to fool us and clearly it worked.
I didn't think the channel was all that funny but I understood what it was intended for, which was to parody the internet trolling community. The fact people took that channel seriously is hilarious in itself
I realise it was 3 years ago, but still this pisses me off so much. This is just an established paper trying to completely ruin the career of an innovative industry rival who's threatening their dominance. Literally just trying to fuck up the life of someone because they're doing your job better than you are.
2AM SOUL I will if both the writer of this article and the editor in chief who not only approved it, but then also defended it publicly apologize and resign.
pisse3000 So far, only the editor in chief has apologized. The writer is riding on the attention, and Fader probably does not even know what is happening. And even then the editor's tone is a more "Oh shit people think I'm retarded, time to save face."
Reminder that the A.V. Club did a similar article pretty soon after and that Drowned in Sound shared and congratulated Fader for their garbage journalism. Not following any of them either!
Unless you are LGBT or a POC. You might be able to be apart of their club if your white, as long as you walk into the bathroom, look into the mirror, and beat your own face in to show your guilt.
itheuser First Shut up RUclipsrs have never been very professional and they do not have to cater to you or other forms of media that pressure them to. You're no better than an internet troll
Fantano- Apparently alt-right and racist Also Fantano- married to a black woman Edit: 3 years later and I realize this is a cringe statement.... But its still pretty funny lol
@@radthadd yes. His wife is named Dominique and she is black. Anthony could have just made a ten minute video where he just has a few photos of them together cycle along the screen with "MY WIFE IS BLACK YOU DUMBASSES" flashing at the top but he legit took an even more respectable route and didnt involve her at all. He stood on his own merits and didnt try to use his personal relationships or emotional leverage to make this response.
Yeah, that Fade piece was some legit garbage journalism. You really tackled this well, btw. Excellent job using the facts to debunk what they've said. With TITP, could you maybe demonitize the channel and keep up as an archive? If it's not going to make money anyway, maybe it can just be left as a monument for the people that did appreciate it maybe? I dunno. Best of luck dude! Cheers.
Taking it down makes it seem like they’ve won or are right with the article. (Although I know that’s not the only reason). Put the thick vegan smoothies back on at least gonna miss those 😂
His reasoning that he mentioned near the end of the video was that he wants to take the channel down out of principle. This is because RUclips would still be benefitting from his content without paying him via people funneling to related, monetized videos.
Nick Kaplan I understand that I guess but making the videos unavailable still just seems a shame. If he’s doing it out of spite for google and doesn’t want them to benefit from them he should upload them to another platform. He probably will tbf because there was a lot of videos on that channel, doubt Anthony wants all those shit posts flushed down the toilet.
9:45 "Kek" comes from world of warcraft. there's two factions and when they type at each other the letters are change to simulate them speaking in different languages. "lol" becomes "kek"
in my book it comes from way back, where the translation for a certain type of "laugh" in korean, it would be read as "kek", at least that's what i know, i saw this a lot when i played starcraft
Kek was the permutation of lel, which in and of itself was to corrupt lol, kek was chosen instead of another shitty permutation like lil because kek is the name of a Turkish pastry (Topkek) that had a humerous commerical featuring a yelling midget. That's from my understanding
I know this video is years old and culturally irrelevant at the time of this post but i would be disappointed if i did not point out how phenomenal this response is. It is incredibly scary how dangerous the mob of cancellation ca be to someone who has very few controversial view points. Keep representing yourself my king. Respect to your channel and all of the hard work you put in daily.
Slander and libel require proof of falsehood and proof of malicious intent in the United States and the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. They're notoriously difficult to win in the US for that reason. I'm guessing such a case would probably be very difficult to make in this case unless someone finds some evidence that the author intended to defame him.
Just wanted to say that I've been watching you for years (and love thatistheplan). I honestly cannot believe someone who has been so upfront about their left-leaning political views could be misconstrued as an alt-right sympathizer. It makes me worry about the future of journalism, youtube, and liberal politics in general. If those on the left are targeting each other for perceived infractions like harmless off-color comedy, our influence in Washington will continue to shrink. On the other hand, I honestly feel bad for the kid writing this piece. He's clearly very young, inexperienced, unable to grasp satire/sarcasm, and thinks he's on some kind of moral high ground here. But really his whole article was baseless character assassination. I just hope he grows up before he does irreparable damage to someone who does't have the clout and loyal following you do. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and insight over the years - hang in there and keep up the good work..
The point is that he serious-talks somewhat left-leaning, or at least somewhat conscious povs, but he also heavily breadcrumbs the edgelords. This has been painfully obvious long before this sensationalist article. It's similar to what Trump did throughout his campaign, putting the shitty stuff out there and then turning around and putting out a more reasonable opinion or apology - that breadcrumbs the racists, bigots etc, while also appeasing the diehard fans who would refuse to see him for what he is.
jkahlke1 kid? Pfft, he is an internet journalist, their only job is to manipulate the information they are given for it to fit in your views and you can convince -the people- big corporations, ruin competition, and get followers
It's because pop-liberals don't know what alt-right is, or if they know it's source, cannot comprehend the philosophy behind it, it's too... different from US politics. The real alt-right was a blog by a guy named Richard Spencer, it was just Identitarianism* (a right-wing youth renaissance in Europe), taken and made more America-focused instead of Eurocentric He went unnoticed until he did something shocking.... he inadvertently posted the biggest clickbait possible in 2015/2016... he mentioned Trump and endorsed him in the primaries! Since Trump was mentioned, pop-liberal journalists piled on to him and freaked out about the racism. He never really has a movement - it's just him and blog followers, but he got hundreds of times more views from all the papers and sites like Salon giving him views The alt-right became something like a Bigfoot, a few sightings causes a craze and thousands flock to try to get sightings and report them everywhere. 4chan and other pranksters saw this weakness in pop-journalism and pranked the media HARD, one time starting a rumour that the OK emoji was a secret alt-right symbol of allegiance, journalists were so thirsty for anything about it they all bought it Most Americans and almost all the North American media cannot comprehend belief systems that are not tied to Democrats or Republicans, thus all the emergent movements that reject US politics are too hard to follow so they call them all alt-right. Similar how even though Democrats don't have communist senators for real, conservatives still claim they're commies The left will never succeed either because most of it falls outside the 2-party system thus too difficult to understand for common plebs, mainline democrats actually hated on social democrat Bernie supporters calling them "Brocialists" for supporting actual left ideas
real ones check the description and dip and then return to the video after seeing that the description is different than normal, watch the video, and draw their own conclusions after reading the opposing argument and surveying available evidence and dip
The sad thing about this kind of thing is that it doesn't even matter if you defend yourself. The people that will watch this already know it was bullshit or didn't read the article in the first place. And the people that believe the article aren't going to watch this.
I don't always agree with you, and in fact I didn't really like you at first. But you have NEVER struck me as being alt-right, or conservative whatsoever for that matter.
Because he is very clearly a liberal in the traditional sense, and any reasonable person (conservative or liberal) without an agenda can see that if they watch even a couple of his videos.
I can't tell if this is Fader taking shots at Fantano because he's a rival music critic, or if it's just record levels of boomerism and they really believe that memes are some kind of scary underhanded propaganda.
I've got 20 bucks to contribute to the libel lawsuit. Bet there are thousands of others willing to support. Make them face consequences for untrue reputation smears.
Matt H You should email this to him. Shit like this can give the world of journalism a wake up call. Not to mention, he seems to read all of his emails considering that's what 50% of his videos on his (now only) other channel are.
Count me out. Don't have the money to throw around like what we're all made of money to throw out to youtubers for lawsuits now. I'm staying out of it and you won't get a dime from me Fantano. Goddam bloodsuckers... most of us out here trying to make a living and these people want money for lawsuits. This country has gone downhill in the year leading up to Trump becoming president. I mean what kind of emboldened public has the money and time to support shit like that instead of focusing on real things. I hope this was a joke. Pshhhh. 0/10 fundraiser cause.
Shit, the court bills would be wiped clean if he gets a dollar from half of his subscribers. That is, if the case is supported with clear cut evidence of malice (which those Twitter replies from the Fader editor-in-chief recently may be a good start to look at).
Searched up the guy who wrote the piece... He's a freelancer with about a dozen (at most) published articles, with the most notable being an appreciation of Britney Spears, describing her as one of the 'definitive artists of our time'. Not that I've got anything against Britney, but it's clear that this writer is not exactly a big fish. Just some young journalist trying to catch his big break, and he thought the easiest route was this "shocking" slander piece. I almost feel sorry for the guy: this incident will probably (and rightly) shoot his career into the ground. It takes years to build up a reputation as a writer/journalist, you can't just publish nonsense and hope to get away with it.
I am sending and email to Fader, complaining about the article that was written. I think a lot more people should to. I think it is such bull shit that a company like that can get away with something like this. It is not journalism, it just some idiot with a keyboard with no sense of humor, writing some piece that he thinks will get him likes, not realizing that his miss guided info could ruin some ones career. It is not a light topic this guy is treading on. What he says could defiantly damage some ones career, not from fans who read it but from potential fans that might not know a whole lot about The Needle Drop. They need to pull the article for lying in journalism and owe Anthony Fantano an public apology . I will email them Telling them that at "letters@thefader.com" @theneedledrop I am sorry this happened to you, keep up with the great stuff and you have introduced me to soooooooooooo many great bands. Some of my now fav albums have come for your recommendations and reviews.
I just did the same. Just try not to do Fader the favor of seeming like an angry mob of alt-righters when you do everyone! Don't insult them, dont threaten them. Thats how they win. Just be nice and tell them how you feel.
I think the writer realizes that this will hurt Anthony's career. I suspect that he knows he is wrong but he thinks he can just play with other people's careers like this because he'll get away with it anyway. I saw it happen with PewDiePie and the slingshot channel. There were no repercussions. If I were a bigger fan of Anthony's and knew more about him I would join you but I'm not going to discredit him by writing an uninformed email. I hope all his real fans do though! This slanderous bullshit needs to stop.
This whole fiasco is proof that it takes a certain level of intellect to truly understand memetics (meme culture), a level of which the individual known as The Fader clearly has not reached yet.
Anthony isn’t racist, but who he’s married to isn’t really relevant. That’s why he didn’t bring it up here. He didn’t need to, and it wouldn’t really have proved anything. People mock the “I have a Black friend” defense for a reason. Milo Yiannopolous is married to a Black man and he’s still an alt-right creep (and has serious internalized homophobia, too). It’s like saying a man who hates women can’t be a misogynist because he’s married to a woman. Obviously that’s not true.
Just because you're married to a black person doesn't exempt you from being racist alot of racists have used that excuse I mean hey the slave masters fucked the slaves during slavery

Digital Tour Bus Idk why fader wrote this article. Incredibly dumb
Amen brotha
I hate it when I open up a lemonade stand and Then Starbucks comes in and calls me a racist
Just looking the wrongest way smh fr
You know it's funny when the writer of that bs article make her/his twitter private
And they've now deleted the article. Well done to the retards who stood behind this article, even fader knows it's bullshit and you fell for it.
just admit you were deeply redpilled by sam hyde and immediately started a gun collection
Fader BTFO. They oughta be embarrassed AF
we're talking about the media here. The media has no shame, only greed.
It’s been so long but I still consider this one of the worst criticisms of fantano ever conceived. They quite literally accused an extremely far-left vegan nerd of being a racist alt-right edgelord. It’s like calling Johnny Sins a virgin
I love how the perception of Anthony bounces from "Racist" to "Cuck" it's amazing.
they got the fucking tour cancelled, thanks
Sam Etzweiler fuck fader. snake asses slandering shit.
Go riot outside their offices.
Or get a job and don't.
up2u
Lmao good
i couldn't watch a video of his channel :_(
HA HA HA HA
I got so pissed reading that article. Loved this video, I hate these fucking takedown pieces based on bullshit. Everyone just wants to call people "problematic"
The dude that wrote this along with the "editor in chief" that doesn't even bother to watch your videos is PATHETIC.
Well said
Agree 100%
love your stuff man.
never reading the fader again, unfollowed on all social media
Good to see a fellow RUclips reviewer stick up for their own. Respect.
I’m just glad he remembered tnd podcast exists
i also hpe he isnt going to delete the THATISTHEPLAN channel
Anthony is like one of the most left youtubers I know lol fader was cappin
he's actually not that far left compared to guys like Vaush and Thought Slime
@@somekid7 holy shit seeing "vaush" in a fantano comment section gave me whiplash
@@somekid7 yeah he is probably center left at best unlike.
@@CEO_Of_Racism-fk3qv not even close to center lol. Bro I know nothing about you but if you seriously think that Anthony Fantano is anything other than far left then I can certainly guarantee you're a stupid person

Vonte Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball!
when the melon's gotta make a 21 min video to literally explain a meme channel, that's when you know people are getting a bit too sensitive anymore
It isn't even sensitivity, they're deliberately trying to take down his channel because it's independent and threatens them.
Nah bruh its cause people like you react to it so strongly cause YOUR sensitive. You can’t ignore the article and leave it be. Instead you need to go up in arms and give it views. Y’all seriously are wack af.
@@jackbowser3684 I've never really thought about it like that but you're right. People who claim liberals are overly sensitive spread their veiws. When a Russian lady started pouring bleach on male parts a bunch of people said she was overly sensitive reacted overly sensitive and spreaded her massage everywhere. If only more people thought about it like that.
it's not "people" so much, but a decently sized portion of media making money from people's likeness to be easily swayed and not do research. oh well, fuck in a way all it's doing is creating a larger divide between smart people and dumb people.
ant honey is in my
Fader lost any credibility they might have had. I'm starting to tire of people saying memes are exclusively an alt-right thing.
TBH I miss thatistheplan, and I hope you can find a way to nuke Fader out of excistance in a legal way for what I essentially view as actual defamation - they knew the alt-right label has weight to it and that's why they labeled you as such.
I never got an alt-right vibe from you.
The only completely false thing Anthony says in this video is that music reviews are relevant to /mu/'s board discussion
WE MUST PROTECT MELON AT ALL COSTS!!

Wait.... thatistheplan was the same guy?!
CASSO BLVCK this is a joke right?
Really
I swear I learn something new everyday.
CASSO BLVCK no he’s defending thatistheplan, they are two different poeple IDIOT
Snoop Well you can't blame CASSO for not noticing. I mean thatistheplan has like an orange beanie he wears when we know Anthony is bald so I think Anthony just didn't want to be associated with that channel so he went through all that work to wear an orange beanie to fool us and clearly it worked.
that channel was fucking hilarious.
I didn't think the channel was all that funny but I understood what it was intended for, which was to parody the internet trolling community. The fact people took that channel seriously is hilarious in itself
I miss it so much already it, but what's done is done, may it rest in peace :(
liek if u cri evritm
especially the story from that guy about his party. sheldon from big bang wtf haha
Anthony Fantano is a thief was so good LMAO
I realise it was 3 years ago, but still this pisses me off so much. This is just an established paper trying to completely ruin the career of an innovative industry rival who's threatening their dominance.
Literally just trying to fuck up the life of someone because they're doing your job better than you are.
The worst part is, it worked
@@prosports3653 how did it work?
sue for libel
I have got good news for you because he did
lmao what was the verdict or has it yet to conclude
Or Not I don't know but the article was deleted from the site, so probably anthony. None of them are speaking about it, though.
He could sue for slander actually
he can sue them for causing his shows to be cancelled, in fact that's probably what he did.
Well im not reading a fader article ever again...
2AM SOUL I will if both the writer of this article and the editor in chief who not only approved it, but then also defended it publicly apologize and resign.
I didn't know what fader was until this
pisse3000 So far, only the editor in chief has apologized. The writer is riding on the attention, and Fader probably does not even know what is happening. And even then the editor's tone is a more "Oh shit people think I'm retarded, time to save face."
Reminder that the A.V. Club did a similar article pretty soon after and that Drowned in Sound shared and congratulated Fader for their garbage journalism. Not following any of them either!
2AM SOUL ooohhhhh that a show them
Damn man, "real" journalists will do whatever it takes to make youtubers look bad. No dignity.
Unless you are LGBT or a POC. You might be able to be apart of their club if your white, as long as you walk into the bathroom, look into the mirror, and beat your own face in to show your guilt.
itheuser First Shut up RUclipsrs have never been very professional and they do not have to cater to you or other forms of media that pressure them to.
You're no better than an internet troll
It's because they're all dying and won't adapt. They're killing themselves off so they have to take others down with them.
Fantano- Apparently alt-right and racist
Also Fantano- married to a black woman
Edit: 3 years later and I realize this is a cringe statement.... But its still pretty funny lol
For real?
@@radthadd yes. His wife is named Dominique and she is black. Anthony could have just made a ten minute video where he just has a few photos of them together cycle along the screen with "MY WIFE IS BLACK YOU DUMBASSES" flashing at the top but he legit took an even more respectable route and didnt involve her at all. He stood on his own merits and didnt try to use his personal relationships or emotional leverage to make this response.
it's all a cover
@Wanye Kest yeah man it would have been overly.tacky to respond that way.
I mean Milo Yiannopoulos is married to a black man but is still racist as shit.
Yeah, that Fade piece was some legit garbage journalism. You really tackled this well, btw. Excellent job using the facts to debunk what they've said.
With TITP, could you maybe demonitize the channel and keep up as an archive? If it's not going to make money anyway, maybe it can just be left as a monument for the people that did appreciate it maybe? I dunno.
Best of luck dude! Cheers.
Agreed would deffo like to revisit
exactly he should just leave em up
Taking it down makes it seem like they’ve won or are right with the article. (Although I know that’s not the only reason). Put the thick vegan smoothies back on at least gonna miss those 😂
His reasoning that he mentioned near the end of the video was that he wants to take the channel down out of principle. This is because RUclips would still be benefitting from his content without paying him via people funneling to related, monetized videos.
Nick Kaplan I understand that I guess but making the videos unavailable still just seems a shame. If he’s doing it out of spite for google and doesn’t want them to benefit from them he should upload them to another platform. He probably will tbf because there was a lot of videos on that channel, doubt Anthony wants all those shit posts flushed down the toilet.
Melon please bring back thatistheplan or at least put all the videos back up 😭

please bring them back

9:45 "Kek" comes from world of warcraft. there's two factions and when they type at each other the letters are change to simulate them speaking in different languages. "lol" becomes "kek"
bur
in my book it comes from way back, where the translation for a certain type of "laugh" in korean, it would be read as "kek", at least that's what i know, i saw this a lot when i played starcraft
I use to say that word when playing Minecraft as a 13 year old
Kek was the permutation of lel, which in and of itself was to corrupt lol, kek was chosen instead of another shitty permutation like lil because kek is the name of a Turkish pastry (Topkek) that had a humerous commerical featuring a yelling midget.
That's from my understanding
We used kek to shit on "lol" users
I know this video is years old and culturally irrelevant at the time of this post but i would be disappointed if i did not point out how phenomenal this response is. It is incredibly scary how dangerous the mob of cancellation ca be to someone who has very few controversial view points. Keep representing yourself my king.

U need to sue them for slander
I resent that, slander is spoken, on print it's libel
But yeah they are cunts
Slander and libel require proof of falsehood and proof of malicious intent in the United States and the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. They're notoriously difficult to win in the US for that reason. I'm guessing such a case would probably be very difficult to make in this case unless someone finds some evidence that the author intended to defame him.
I'm unsubscribing. You're an idiot. Have you met everyone is Canada? Some of those Canadians would fuck you up, easily.
Ant Thomas r/iamverybadass
wouldnt you have to prove that being alt-right is bad. i mean it obviously is, but how do you prove it? it would be a fascinating precedent though.
You need to Hulk Hogan Fader. They literally cost you money, take them to court.
It’s interesting how this went from a well articulate defense into a well articulated critique of the article itself.
Just wanted to say that I've been watching you for years (and love thatistheplan). I honestly cannot believe someone who has been so upfront about their left-leaning political views could be misconstrued as an alt-right sympathizer. It makes me worry about the future of journalism, youtube, and liberal politics in general. If those on the left are targeting each other for perceived infractions like harmless off-color comedy, our influence in Washington will continue to shrink. On the other hand, I honestly feel bad for the kid writing this piece. He's clearly very young, inexperienced, unable to grasp satire/sarcasm, and thinks he's on some kind of moral high ground here. But really his whole article was baseless character assassination. I just hope he grows up before he does irreparable damage to someone who does't have the clout and loyal following you do. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and insight over the years - hang in there and keep up the good work..
The point is that he serious-talks somewhat left-leaning, or at least somewhat conscious povs, but he also heavily breadcrumbs the edgelords. This has been painfully obvious long before this sensationalist article. It's similar to what Trump did throughout his campaign, putting the shitty stuff out there and then turning around and putting out a more reasonable opinion or apology - that breadcrumbs the racists, bigots etc, while also appeasing the diehard fans who would refuse to see him for what he is.
jkahlke1 kid? Pfft, he is an internet journalist, their only job is to manipulate the information they are given for it to fit in your views and you can convince -the people- big corporations, ruin competition, and get followers
that's what you libs get for embracing social justice politics
It's because pop-liberals don't know what alt-right is, or if they know it's source, cannot comprehend the philosophy behind it, it's too... different from US politics. The real alt-right was a blog by a guy named Richard Spencer, it was just Identitarianism* (a right-wing youth renaissance in Europe), taken and made more America-focused instead of Eurocentric
He went unnoticed until he did something shocking.... he inadvertently posted the biggest clickbait possible in 2015/2016... he mentioned Trump and endorsed him in the primaries! Since Trump was mentioned, pop-liberal journalists piled on to him and freaked out about the racism. He never really has a movement - it's just him and blog followers, but he got hundreds of times more views from all the papers and sites like Salon giving him views
The alt-right became something like a Bigfoot, a few sightings causes a craze and thousands flock to try to get sightings and report them everywhere. 4chan and other pranksters saw this weakness in pop-journalism and pranked the media HARD, one time starting a rumour that the OK emoji was a secret alt-right symbol of allegiance, journalists were so thirsty for anything about it they all bought it
Most Americans and almost all the North American media cannot comprehend belief systems that are not tied to Democrats or Republicans, thus all the emergent movements that reject US politics are too hard to follow so they call them all alt-right. Similar how even though Democrats don't have communist senators for real, conservatives still claim they're commies
The left will never succeed either because most of it falls outside the 2-party system thus too difficult to understand for common plebs, mainline democrats actually hated on social democrat Bernie supporters calling them "Brocialists" for supporting actual left ideas
white liberals are not human beings; they do not deserve pity or mercy
The new Fader article? *NOT* *GOOD.*
Marx debunked The Fader YEARS AGO!!!
I fucking miss those videos
Was yelling along until I realized those days are gone... FeelsBadMan
This feels like it was a million years ago. Things got real weird in 2016-18.
That channel was the only thing that gave me joy on this dark husk of a planet
@ND Freak Thanks for that insightful comment.
@Wanye Kest kek
real ones check the description and dip
and then return to the video after seeing that the description is different than normal, watch the video, and draw their own conclusions after reading the opposing argument and surveying available evidence and dip
Woah hold on there! People can't be bothered with context we need to just jump to conclusions.
then comment then dip like peanut butter
This kind of comments include racial words, and thus are part of the alt-right. Take it down immediately, or expect an uninformed shitstorm.
The sad thing about this kind of thing is that it doesn't even matter if you defend yourself. The people that will watch this already know it was bullshit or didn't read the article in the first place. And the people that believe the article aren't going to watch this.
this Fader piece was NOT GOOD

Because he is very clearly a liberal in the traditional sense, and any reasonable person (conservative or liberal) without an agenda can see that if they watch even a couple of his videos.
Your meme past is catching up to you, BestTeethInTheGame.
I can't tell if this is Fader taking shots at Fantano because he's a rival music critic, or if it's just record levels of boomerism and they really believe that memes are some kind of scary underhanded propaganda.
I've got 20 bucks to contribute to the libel lawsuit. Bet there are thousands of others willing to support. Make them face consequences for untrue reputation smears.
Matt H You should email this to him. Shit like this can give the world of journalism a wake up call. Not to mention, he seems to read all of his emails considering that's what 50% of his videos on his (now only) other channel are.
Count me out. Don't have the money to throw around like what we're all made of money to throw out to youtubers for lawsuits now. I'm staying out of it and you won't get a dime from me Fantano. Goddam bloodsuckers... most of us out here trying to make a living and these people want money for lawsuits. This country has gone downhill in the year leading up to Trump becoming president. I mean what kind of emboldened public has the money and time to support shit like that instead of focusing on real things. I hope this was a joke. Pshhhh. 0/10 fundraiser cause.
Shit, the court bills would be wiped clean if he gets a dollar from half of his subscribers. That is, if the case is supported with clear cut evidence of malice (which those Twitter replies from the Fader editor-in-chief recently may be a good start to look at).

2018 update : Memes are being forbid in the EU
they're outlawed in the usa too.
Searched up the guy who wrote the piece... He's a freelancer with about a dozen (at most) published articles, with the most notable being an appreciation of Britney Spears, describing her as one of the 'definitive artists of our time'. Not that I've got anything against Britney, but it's clear that this writer is not exactly a big fish. Just some young journalist trying to catch his big break, and he thought the easiest route was this "shocking" slander piece. I almost feel sorry for the guy: this incident will probably (and rightly) shoot his career into the ground. It takes years to build up a reputation as a writer/journalist, you can't just publish nonsense and hope to get away with it.

I am sending and email to Fader, complaining about the article that was written. I think a lot more people should to. I think it is such bull shit that a company like that can get away with something like this. It is not journalism, it just some idiot with a keyboard with no sense of humor, writing some piece that he thinks will get him likes, not realizing that his miss guided info could ruin some ones career. It is not a light topic this guy is treading on. What he says could defiantly damage some ones career, not from fans who read it but from potential fans that might not know a whole lot about The Needle Drop. They need to pull the article for lying in journalism and owe Anthony Fantano an public apology . I will email them Telling them that at "letters@thefader.com" @theneedledrop I am sorry this happened to you, keep up with the great stuff and you have introduced me to soooooooooooo many great bands. Some of my now fav albums have come for your recommendations and reviews.
I just did the same.
Just try not to do Fader the favor of seeming like an angry mob of alt-righters when you do everyone! Don't insult them, dont threaten them. Thats how they win. Just be nice and tell them how you feel.
I think the writer realizes that this will hurt Anthony's career. I suspect that he knows he is wrong but he thinks he can just play with other people's careers like this because he'll get away with it anyway. I saw it happen with PewDiePie and the slingshot channel. There were no repercussions. If I were a bigger fan of Anthony's and knew more about him I would join you but I'm not going to discredit him by writing an uninformed email. I hope all his real fans do though! This slanderous bullshit needs to stop.
This whole fiasco is proof that it takes a certain level of intellect to truly understand memetics (meme culture), a level of which the individual known as The Fader clearly has not reached yet.

andy thats not a joke. Fucking fader normies.
I love how he didn't mention the fact that he is married to a black woman lmao.
Didn't have to
Anthony isn’t racist, but who he’s married to isn’t really relevant. That’s why he didn’t bring it up here. He didn’t need to, and it wouldn’t really have proved anything. People mock the “I have a Black friend” defense for a reason.
Milo Yiannopolous is married to a Black man and he’s still an alt-right creep (and has serious internalized homophobia, too).
It’s like saying a man who hates women can’t be a misogynist because he’s married to a woman. Obviously that’s not true.
Just because you're married to a black person doesn't exempt you from being racist alot of racists have used that excuse I mean hey the slave masters fucked the slaves during slavery
I mean that marrying a black woman doesn’t mean you can’t be racist
