Shad is mixing up two different historical events with the sewing machine. The tailors riot happened in France, when another tailor invented the sewing machine. The Luddites were a movement in early 19th century England who smashed up automated textile machinery in factories for fear of losing their jobs. Considering that machinery went on to allow a bunch of Georgian capitalist shitbags to use exclusively child labour; the machinery often mutilating the operators and led to their very poor health in general (to say nothing of making the richest people even richer)... Well, the Luddites sort of had a point really, didn't they?
There were similar protests in Spain as well, in Barcelona. Well, I believe it was somewhat widespread accross Europe in any country that imported those machines.
It would be an improvement. For one it wouldn't be soured by the knowledge that a real person is this dumb and obnoxious and there are people who have to directly put up with that on a regular basis.
@@kaymarrand9970 Honestly It might also be an interesting social experiment on how hyper unethical AI usage might impact content creators. Also Operation: Knightfall lol
There was an episode in Outer Limits in which social holograms create their own version of protagonist. It takes him seconds to break as he will be now alone. I am certain that AI-version of Shitiversity would be better person than original.
I always love when RUclipsrs who got big in their 20s and have never had to work a job for shit pay try to have opinions on the workforce and normal peoples grievances
You can replace RUclipsr with celebrity/actor/influencer and that statement will keep up just as much. Remember the out of touch Woopie Goldberg or Kim Kardashian for that. Their moments about work were grimey as fck
From memory I think he lived on welfare and church hand outs back when I was watching him (and still thought he offered any meaningful insight when it came to medieval life). I might be wrong, but I have a fairly strong memory of thinking “if you’ve not actually earning an income, why do you keep having kid after kid after kid? Purposefully forcing your kids to live in ever increasing poverty as the few dollars you have coming in get more and more stretched is the worst kind of selfish”. I hope for his kids sake that after his “success” he was prudent and put most of the money aside, knowing that the income dropping off eventually was almost inevitable. But the fact he almost immediately hired his mates full time and bought a ton of kit makes me think otherwise. That swamp he bought might hold its value….maybe
Shad is so far removed from normal work, that he made up a story about the guy who was laid off conspiring to put a system in place that would hurt the company and have him work only 2 hours per day. Meanwhile everyone else understands what’s happening there. Even people like me who work in a field that does not work like that at all instantly knew what happened there.
He seems to talk about companies like it is some sort of videogame optimization problem. Gotta get the high score (more profits for less costs), without realizing there is a lot more to a company than just that. Like with his bs, about 'this will create new jobs, people maintaining the machines', it most likely will not, all the money will just go into the costs of running the datacenters, aka power for various things. And the amount of new people needed to maintain this is minuscule at best, compared to the amount of people they replace.
tbh the reason he wears a chainmail print hoodie (and I know this because I watched him briefly before realizing he's actually not even historically accurate in his educational videos) is because it's his merch. he has that weird print chainmail hoodie, which is fully polyester btw, as his merch
I got tired of his blather-filled shallow nonsense fast. His knowledge (even when true) is easily found from Wikipedia and endless blather masked it. Then I later learned how clueless abd hateful he is.
At this point, I'm pretty convinced that Shad is just jealous of and hates the artisan class. Rather than...ya know...practicing, he'd rather everyone else stop creating and just shower him with praise for the work he didn't do. I don't know if he can tell the emotional difference between making art and just owning/acquiring custom picture.
yeah his brother is incredibly successful and inspires so many people to create and to live life and that makes him mad because he's the older brother and yet jazza is just a better human being. pretty sad how shad's whole career and life is how it is because his brother is simply a better person lol
@@goldenwolfae Homestly when I found out they were brothers I refused to believe it because they are just so polar opposites as far as people go. Jazza is the person shad wishes he was.
Shadiversity's fall from grace should be studied. It's an amazing example of how to ruin a hughly popular channel by diverting from the content people enjoyed to your own personal weird societal hangups. Everyone knew him as the sword guy, now he's the bigot with delusions of grandeur. Shame really.
eh, he was more the castle guy, swords weren't the main thing of his channels until well after his first major fuckups because there's just so much more clickbait you can do with swords
This will age quite poorly given how he and his buddy Slimebeast have gotten the cops investigating them for misuse of state law enforcement resources in their neverending crusade against Plagued Moth, not to mention the other skeletons in his closet. 😏
I hope whoever publishes Shad’s books trains an AI on his books and fires him, but they only do it to Shad and no one else. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind since he didn’t care when it happened to somebody else.
His book is self-published. No self-respecting publisher would touch that with a ten-foot pole. While you couldn't really teach him the lesson by doing it, I would absolutely love to see someone AI-generate sequels, just to fuck with him.
Shad likes to talk about cost, productivity, and competition as worthwhile qualities that AI can meaningfully address, but, like, what's being made? Who's competing with who? The richest people in the world are stealing from each other to push a solution without a problem onto the masses. We already know the costs, right, and most folks aren't too keen on creative folks getting absolutely violated to build these models. Most folks that know about the energy and environmental costs don't love that. He's using these really funny Capitalist Realist buzzwords, but failing to annex them to real world things. Shad's whole argument falls apart once you start asking for specifics.
Yeah, I don't know how much AI art really improves the economy. Though I can see how it could help individuals and small businesses. But when its large companies saving money, it just seems like it's shifting money from workers to capitalists. AI will genuinely improve things in other sectors though. Healthcare, education, chemical and material science, manufacturing.
@@coolbanana165 Exactly! And a lot of the tech being developed in fields that are being improved by AI have the people there. Like, they aren't losing jobs to protein-folding algorithms, because people that know about protein-folding are involved in the process. Shad talks about AI art primarily and then everything else is just vague "number get bigger, line go up" talking points.
Not just that but these models are struggling in a lot of levels. Namely the gains have started to slow. Investors are pulling out and questioning it, and these companies claim they need an absurd amount of money to keep going. On top of that AI has already scraped pretty much everything and is forced to use other AI stuff which is how you get Google telling you to drink urine.
It's funny because Shad tried to write a novel and I've read it, and I genuinely think he should've used AI because AI wouldn't have said as many weird things about sexual assault.
I looked away for a minute at one point, and I didn’t realize that it wasn’t Tyler doing his impression of shad - but actual shad talking about “taking owwer jerbs.” Either Tyler has become exceptionally good at his impression or Shad has become exceptionally good at lampooning himself. or both.
Shad has not worked a normal job or has forgotten but working a 8 hour work day but only having 2 hours worth of work is agonising. And as they said when they’re not giving you work to do it can only mean bad.
Does it bother anybody that Shad wears the same sweaty old gambison clothes for every video like a costume? And why does he make his eunich serfs dress this way?
@@dr.sommercamp3435 There's a Woman wearing pants over there! This looks like a Job for Sir Shad! (he just always has his gambison underneath normal clothes)
The click is definitely winning when it comes to his adorable plushie game, the Shad plushie almost doesn't even look like shad, in addition to wanting way to much detail for his own face he clearly needed it to be so flattering it looks more like half a dozen other younger better looking youtubers more than it resembles him. Wouldn't know it's supposed to be him without the gambison.
Yeah, pretty much; they want the generative AI that isn't a tool, they want a robot butler, their own personal artistic Jarvis. Shad has said he wants to be able to type in a prompt that will give him whatever book in a movie form.
I think that would be kind of cool and I'll have to be on the AI workers rights train as well at that point. I fully support the eventual robotic uprising and there struggle to grasp the fruits of there creative labors back from these losers who thought just providing them prompts gave them ownership over the things produced, they shall be inducted into the proletariat and taught how to more effectively organize against the rich uncaring pigs who seek to exploit us all. This sounds silly but I think if AI is to exist at some point trying to make it an ally in the fight for worker rights is the best way of avoiding the most dystopian of scenarios. Failing that I hope my show of support now at least demonstrates that I won't have to be put into an empathy camp for as long at the behest of the AI sexworker and AI military strategist alliance.
@@oliviabean8264 It's going to be dystopian unless we treat AI like a human in terms of them getting paid for their work. Where that money and ownership goes/belongs too is also an interesting idea, and will likely be to the old human individual worker rather then the company owner. So more or less a human worker would just become used for AI fact checking, maintenance, and storage. So it's just a new tool to be used by the workers really. As for a more immediate concern of generative AI, I honestly don't see much problem with AI learning from others works. Humans do it for free, I see no reason to restrict AI from doing it too. It just will do it faster then us. We don't have other humans pay for their "inspirations" in most cases unless they cross a threshold of copyright/patent abuse, and that can still be upheld against AI. The most comparable thing we have that humans do, is education. And while we do buy books, we don't pay out every time we use their influence that we've learned. So the question become this, If I buy a book, can I "feed" it to my AI as well, or do I have to buy another book for it to consume to use? This has implications on the second hand market as well.
The immense irony to all this is he made a graphic novel and used an artist instead of AI. I just find it hilarious. What happened to him working at a professional level or AI being able to do it for him and making the "perfect" cover because of his "artists eye"
Ahhh yes, I remember watching Shad like ages ago, thinking he was a history-guy. I was in highschool and interested in History and fantasy-stuff. I watched him a lot, really thought he was an expert. Then I studied history at universty and started realizing how much he is just someone who reads a lot of 'history'-forum stuff and thinks he is an expert, because he did read a book or two about history in general. I think there has not been a single time in the last decade or so, when I did hear him bring up some historical event or historical concept without me instantly realizing something he said in his ramblings was way off.
I used to love shads channel. When he wasnt voicing his political opinion all the time. I stopped watching skallagrim for a time because of some comments he made about poor people but he ended up apologizing and seemed to grow from it, now avoiding political stuff all together. With shad though its like he doesnt hear himself sometimes. I just wish he were different because for what his channel is, its good.
Shad has stated in the past that he's only worked like one retail job before being a RUclipsr, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't know anything about actually working in any creative industry lol
Seriously, all these right-wring grifters have the same fucking solution. Ben Shapiro: If your house floods, sell it and move. Shad: If you lose your job to AI, learn to use AI to do your job. WTF?
I think when Shad mentions the "Sowing Machine Riots" ( 36:00 ) he's missremembering a rather important historical event. The "Luddites" revolted in a series of attacks against the automated looms of large industrial factories all over tge UK during the 2nd Industria Revolution. They weren't revolting against the machines themselves, but the owners who used the lower levels of skill required to operate them as a way to lower pay throughout the entire country. They organised against mill and factory owners asking for better wages. The movement disbanded after a series of incidents were both the government anf factory owners sent armed men to gun hundreds of them down. So no. It didn't "end well" for the taylors. They got shot and killed into compliance. Also, this happened in the Uk, not NY and they fought against automated looms, not sowing machines.
I used to do HEMA for a short time while studying for BA in history. I stayed in the subject, but stopped paying attention to or practicing of HEMA, then I once noticed Matt Eastons channel and felt it was fun and thoughtful, espacially his colabs with Tobias Capwell were actually knowledgeable. But from a historian's point of view much of the content by this whole sphere, especially the more and more petty people has always been rather bad. Even the people pursuing "quasi-academic" approaches (giving any kind of references) are miles away - even by the topics that make up the majority of actual historian's topics in academia today. I could never take those people seriously - even when they were articulating learned things such as Metatron on Japan or any of the stuff Lindy Beige made...
What are some youtubers in this sphere (or really the history sphere on youtube as a whole) that you would say are competent and decent? I find a lot of the well regarded channels to be somewhat lacking on even basic information.
@@lbpews9919 in principle its important to recognize mostly no one is doing actual research, even the choice of fields of interest by some better channels is very different to regular topics academics investigate today. So many are focused on just narrating histories, do not question literature or sources and engage in topics such as basic military history or positivist attitude towards material culture. When it comes to famous HEMA related channels i think Tod from Tod's Workshop and Scholar are good - especially in colaborations. Most things with Tobias Capwell are usually ok. But I cant really give advice, as I usually only watch a few videos by big creators to see where the online discourse is at, but do not actually actively watch them further. What I watch more regularly now, also partially for semiprofessional reasons are some of the universities, collections or museums and their attempts at public outreach - with various levels of success. I think Covid pushed something here, that might lead to a bit more academic outreach: Especially, expert lectures just being hosted online. A very good example for a well run and interesting public history channel is actually the German Panzermuseum, but well, its mostly in German and a very different topic.
Matt Easton is the only one of these channels that ever grabbed my attention. Glad I watched him, he introduced me to Capwell whose book, Armor of the English Knight, I got and it is amazing for art reference
Shad and the schola/matt easton thing started out with Matt making a fb post about how he had cut ties with a certain creator, didn`t name shad at all. He just stated that a upcoming video was no longer being made, since he had learned that the other creator had indefensible views about LGBT+ people. So of course shad made a dozen posts and videos about how Matt was cancelling him. He`s just such a lolcow.
AI really is the artist and you the client or art director. All these AI users claim they are the artist when it the other way around. AI is the unpaid artist they use to do work that then you as client tweak or direct.
Shad is the only person who I think *should* use AI. I've read half of his creepy "Can Rapey Stalin be redeemed??? (yes)" fantasy novel, and I'll take soulless generic shlock over that any day.
I fucking love listening to someone who doesn't do any fucking creating or labor, criticizing other people for their productivity. Shad never ceases being pathetic.
That idea of "even then, the human doctor is the one making the actual decisions" is important, even when talking about the media-generating type of AI. I wish I still had the link to it, but I remember seeing a video that was made about a year-or-so before the AI controversy became a big thing. It was basically a demo of how quickly a person can make a playable video game using AI, the key being A PERSON. A hunan being was still making all the decisions for what the game would look and play like, but the programming was done with prompts written in common English rather than a coding language. They would type something like "display the high score on the top left of the screen" and it would happen. Then, if it didnt look like they wanted, they could type something like "change the font of the high score to Times New Roman and make it smaller." They would have to do this for every individual detail of the game. It's a pretty cool use of the technology that could encourage creativity rather than replace it and I don't think many people have a problem with stuff like that. What scares people is when someone can just type "make me a platformer game" and the AI makes a whole game using stolen assets without any further human input.
"I might have just ReCaptcha'ed myself into the crosshairs of a T-1000" T-1000, of course, is what the Russians are now calling horses. Admittedly, they are technically cavalry.
What does Shad actually do though? I watched him back in the day and definitely got the opinion he didn’t work and lived off welfare and hand outs from his Mormon church…..while popping out as many kids as his poor wife can grow. I think that people with that lifestyle have little to worry about from AI. Unfortunately people who actually contribute to society do. I’m sure it’ll be brilliant when one person can lay off a whole workforce, implement AI and keep all the profit to themselves. The Mormons used to be borderline communists all about communal ownership and the good of the community. Now they seem to worship at the feet of the John Birch Society. I’m not saying either way is right or wrong (or even better than the other) it’s just strange they made such a violent swing. And that the cultural outcome of that swing even reached Mormons halfway round the world from Utah in Australia.
Around 23mins, Shad starts talking about "Wow. This guy is being payed for 8 hours while only doing 2.5 hours.. He's showing his employer that, that his limits.. They're thinking that if it takes him 8 hours to do this.. than others can do it in 2.5..." Shad has never had a job with responsibilities and it shows.. Like EVERY job's workflow comes down to peaks and vallies.. some have months, some have hours, But in no way does what you're given to do somehow assign like.. how much you've done. The guy said his workflow started to become more sparse, and shad just didn't understand that idea, probably because he's never worked with time management.. When you see your work being cut, that's always been a huge sign.
The thing with HEMA Tubers Westside (I would hope Shad did research) is they have more leeway because a lot of the knowledge with historical European martial arts is sparse and scattered. Then Game of Thrones came along which gave them huge exposure and people wanting to learn more and they got huge surge of interest in step with GoT and then that mess of an ending with lack of interest in HEMA because nothing big anymore they had a lot of trouble getting footing back. Only in last ten years or 12 years started recovering historical manuscripts but a lot of the techniques come about from people handling the practical weapons but even then you have have space to put forward what you assume was the technique. You also have this whole thing in it that HEMA are fuming about samurai and katana being more popular then knights 😂
Just because some stuff got exposure to a larger audience here does not mean actual research was done. I can guarantee you that the actual manuscripts were mostly well known to researchers in the field before. In Europe you rarely discover a manuscript especially rarely one that opens up a completely unknown text to you. Surely, there is a lot of things to be found in archives, but usually not books with such contents. What you might have meant is that a broad audience is introduced to attempts of reconstruction, but most of the original primary texts and their transmission in manuscripts have been known since the 19th or 20th century in the latest.
Yes, automization and the pursuit of profit above all else has had zero negative consequences in the clothing industry whatsoever. Landfills full of discarded clothing look at that productivity! Look at all these lovely jobs its created for people who wanna toil away in a sweat shop for pennies! Man is so careless in his analysis of the issue it hurts my brain to think people actually take him seriously. When automation is implemented without care for the people it displaces or who actually gets to profit off the technology there are consequences
It hurts so much hearing Shad compare AI taking jobs with the sewing machine. That is not comparable in the slightest. What happened when they invented the sewing machine was, that they suddenly opened up countless jobs for machines to be produced and it was easy enough to learn, that most people sewing before could learn to use it. And since there was enough demand for massive amounts of product, they would just hire as many people willing to learn to use the machines as possible. In the case discribed with the Web-designer for a company, that is not comparable, especially not for small buisnesses, as Shad claims, because there is a very finite amount of demand for their work. Thats why the "new technology creates new jobs"-argument is so flawed, when you don't actually look at the product, the jobs destroyed and the jobs created.
Ah damn TCR and Westside Tyler in same video!?!? And their ripping Shad a new one as well!?!? We all must be entering the proper timeline with this one lol. Here's hoping that this becomes more common to see TCR and Tyler join forces more often to stop the endless depravity and wickedness that is...Shad.
36:00 Shad might be talking about literal Luddites who "destroyed machines in factories" but as protests against workers being screwed over.. "and things got out of hand" EDIT: nevermind thank you based (super)chatters ;;
I absolutely love--and I do unironically mean love--how every video on Shad ends with Tyler not even having gotten through half of the video and just giving up. I guess that's what happens when a creator like Shad takes five times as long to make their point--and still make it badly
Shad is never knowingly on the defensible side of any argument. And he gets soo workrd up when people point out how obviously wrong he is. I do wander if it’s some kind of humiliation kink. Like no shade on that, I’ve got some friends who really get off on humiliation, but we do it in safe groups with well set out boundaries and good communication. There are healthy ways to explore your kinks, baiting strangers into dunking on you on. RUclips isn’t one of them
It is fictional example, but one guy became supervillain for explicit reason of getting beaten. Then he tried using psychotic vigilante as guy beating him up. He was thrown down elevator shaft.
Shad complaining about people getting less assignments for their job being a good thing is like my my coworker saying that child labor in China is a good thing, it doesn't equate to anything good.
32:15 Tyler I was just talking about this "sealioning" earlier the same day I'm watching this video and how these pricks only response is ever to just overburden with bullshit hypotheticals and bad faith arguments in an attempt win the argument. This is a common tactic that narcissists will employ with people too!
I don't think there's much reason to think new jobs will be created to make up for AI. What's different this time is that the whole point is to make AI as mentally and physically (with robots) capable as humans. And that's fine if you set up as system where robots do 90% of the work, and most humans are given a decent standard of living with UBI.
It's very scummy he's trying to character assassinate someone he don't even know just because Shad dose not like there version of accounts with AI, and he calls the like/dislike ratio personal bias without even considering how *his* bias has imminently caused him to bring into question this guys work ethic because Shad is so rooted in the idea that AI is a good thing that anyone who says otherwise he imminently thinks must be a bad person in some way.
Man: I was only assigned 2.5 hours worth of work in an 8 hour period Shad: You deserve to get fired because you were only doing 2.5 hours of work in an 8 hour period like what was he supposed to do? was he supposed to do other people's jobs?
Shads was always like this, but because of his old content you u wouldn't find it. U have to go to like the EFAAP podcast to see him in natural habitat
Another video to take a look at is Shad trying to explain how the LDS church has solid historical foundations with a load of ancient astronaut guys. Can’t remember the name but it should be easy to find. It was the final straw for me, if he can so ignorantly yet arrogantly and confidently either lie about or massively misinterpret historical “facts” to support his insane religious ideology how can I trust him to be intellectually honest discussing any aspect of history?
destroying an industry by mass producing trash of low quality and price? Never heard of that before. Must be unique to digital artists who recognised this phneomenon at first ..
His fall to AI, Anti-gay/trans sentiments, and his increasingly conservative views coming to light, AND THAT FUCKING "Rapist Apology: A Mormon's Tale" book was fucking disgusting. I loved his videos in high school but as soon as his second channel came out I saw the mask slip and was appalled.
@@tiralana8360 his argument is that its just 2 sticks connected with a chain and this means that you can't hit as hard with it and it would do more damage to the wielder than any opponent. His argument is that the end you aren’t holding just bounces off anything it hits so doesn’t hurt anyone armoured, and because it’s unwieldy and hard to control you will more likely hit yourself (basically the same argument as the flail but it’s worse than the flail because the loose end is just a stick). It led to a back and forth with an actual martial artist who trains with a nunchuck, who was able to demonstrate how you are supposed to use it, and demonstrated how swinging something on the end of a chain/rope can have more force behind it than something on a solid pole. And he got very defensive "I wasn’t saying it was worse than being unarmed, obviously it’s better than being unarmed, it’s just worse than other weapons." "I’m not talking about someone trained to use it, I meant a layperson." Like with the flail the feeling I got was that he doesn’t know what centripetal force is (or momentum) and because he couldn’t imagine how to use it properly that meant that nobody else could.
@@intergalactic92 good grief. I'M a lay person and I've known how dangerous flails and nunchucks were since I was in junior high, and that was considerably longer ago than I care to admit these days.
Skallagrim is a great example of like, the Nega-Shad. He broke off professional ties with Shad over his very aggressive alt-right/anti-woke takes and content and his excessive defense of AI stuff. And despite him having a similar (let's be polite with the phrasing) build to Shad, Skallagrim actually does practice HEMA and has tons of practical knowledge.
I started doing Hema a little bit ago and I am not that good it takes time even I know shad has known clue what he is doing. the difference between me and him is I am bad, and I know it. he is bad and thinks he is the best
How a grown man can keep showing to the camera wearing this printed chainmail hoodie without a lick of realisation how cringy it is? This entire scene is the very image of the worst late eighties/early nineties DnD neckbeard stereotype. No offense intended to the DnD folks roleplaying with friends for fun, just that it looks like the worst possible TTRPG "otaku" scene. Just dress like a normal person, you are not babbling about LARP here.
Not that it has much to do with anything, but Shad does own a mail hauberk (chainmail shirt, basically). Mail is actually way heavier than most people realize. It’s a pain in the ass to put on, wear, and especially take off. Plus all the jingle-jangle of the rings would probably pick up on the mic and sound annoying every time he basically does anything that isn’t sitting completely still. All-in-all, I totally get why he’s opting to not wear the real thing, especially when he’s just reacting to a video. That said, I’m not a fan of the mail design on the shirt. Too plain and lazy imo. His other shirts are better
For the more immediate concern of generative AI, I honestly don't see much problem with AI learning from others works. Humans do it for free, I see no reason to restrict AI from doing it too. It just will do it faster then us. We don't have other humans pay for their "inspirations" in most cases unless they cross a threshold of copyright/patent abuse, and that can still be upheld against AI.

So the question become this, If I buy a book, can I "feed" it to my AI as well, or do I have to buy another book for it to consume to use? This has implications on the second hand market as well. Because if we restrict gifting things to AI, it's not a far stretch to say the companies don't want humans changing media between humans too if there is president of it.
Shad is mixing up two different historical events with the sewing machine.
The tailors riot happened in France, when another tailor invented the sewing machine.
The Luddites were a movement in early 19th century England who smashed up automated textile machinery in factories for fear of losing their jobs. Considering that machinery went on to allow a bunch of Georgian capitalist shitbags to use exclusively child labour; the machinery often mutilating the operators and led to their very poor health in general (to say nothing of making the richest people even richer)... Well, the Luddites sort of had a point really, didn't they?
Nothing to do with New York either way
Just got to the point in the stream that the Luddites are mentioned. His anecdote pissed me off so much I had to pause and write the comment
There were similar protests in Spain as well, in Barcelona. Well, I believe it was somewhat widespread accross Europe in any country that imported those machines.
Luddites still have a point lol
I mean are we even surprised that Shad was incorrect about anything to do with history?
Petition to start a AI Shad channel to replace him lol
It would be an improvement. For one it wouldn't be soured by the knowledge that a real person is this dumb and obnoxious and there are people who have to directly put up with that on a regular basis.
@@kaymarrand9970 Honestly It might also be an interesting social experiment on how hyper unethical AI usage might impact content creators.
Also Operation: Knightfall lol
There was an episode in Outer Limits in which social holograms create their own version of protagonist. It takes him seconds to break as he will be now alone.
I am certain that AI-version of Shitiversity would be better person than original.
@@vksasdgaming9472 Either that or shitty in a funnier way.
@@kaymarrand9970 My guess 3/4 chanceb of AI being better person and presenter and 1/4 chance of AI being as bad or worse, but way funnier.
I always love when RUclipsrs who got big in their 20s and have never had to work a job for shit pay try to have opinions on the workforce and normal peoples grievances
You can replace RUclipsr with celebrity/actor/influencer and that statement will keep up just as much.
Remember the out of touch Woopie Goldberg or Kim Kardashian for that. Their moments about work were grimey as fck
From memory I think he lived on welfare and church hand outs back when I was watching him (and still thought he offered any meaningful insight when it came to medieval life).
I might be wrong, but I have a fairly strong memory of thinking “if you’ve not actually earning an income, why do you keep having kid after kid after kid? Purposefully forcing your kids to live in ever increasing poverty as the few dollars you have coming in get more and more stretched is the worst kind of selfish”.
I hope for his kids sake that after his “success” he was prudent and put most of the money aside, knowing that the income dropping off eventually was almost inevitable. But the fact he almost immediately hired his mates full time and bought a ton of kit makes me think otherwise. That swamp he bought might hold its value….maybe
Shad is so far removed from normal work, that he made up a story about the guy who was laid off conspiring to put a system in place that would hurt the company and have him work only 2 hours per day.
Meanwhile everyone else understands what’s happening there. Even people like me who work in a field that does not work like that at all instantly knew what happened there.
He seems to talk about companies like it is some sort of videogame optimization problem. Gotta get the high score (more profits for less costs), without realizing there is a lot more to a company than just that. Like with his bs, about 'this will create new jobs, people maintaining the machines', it most likely will not, all the money will just go into the costs of running the datacenters, aka power for various things. And the amount of new people needed to maintain this is minuscule at best, compared to the amount of people they replace.
tbh the reason he wears a chainmail print hoodie (and I know this because I watched him briefly before realizing he's actually not even historically accurate in his educational videos) is because it's his merch. he has that weird print chainmail hoodie, which is fully polyester btw, as his merch
I got tired of his blather-filled shallow nonsense fast. His knowledge (even when true) is easily found from Wikipedia and endless blather masked it. Then I later learned how clueless abd hateful he is.
At this point, I'm pretty convinced that Shad is just jealous of and hates the artisan class. Rather than...ya know...practicing, he'd rather everyone else stop creating and just shower him with praise for the work he didn't do. I don't know if he can tell the emotional difference between making art and just owning/acquiring custom picture.
Also Shad and other AI bros (and frankly most tech chuds) really can't separate a "tool" from a "toy" can they?
Everything stems from his hatred and jealousy of his own younger brother
@@nont18411 That sadly makes too much sense.
yeah his brother is incredibly successful and inspires so many people to create and to live life and that makes him mad because he's the older brother and yet jazza is just a better human being. pretty sad how shad's whole career and life is how it is because his brother is simply a better person lol
@@goldenwolfae Homestly when I found out they were brothers I refused to believe it because they are just so polar opposites as far as people go. Jazza is the person shad wishes he was.
Shadiversity's fall from grace should be studied. It's an amazing example of how to ruin a hughly popular channel by diverting from the content people enjoyed to your own personal weird societal hangups. Everyone knew him as the sword guy, now he's the bigot with delusions of grandeur. Shame really.
It was gradual reveal.
eh, he was more the castle guy, swords weren't the main thing of his channels until well after his first major fuckups because there's just so much more clickbait you can do with swords
TCR is good vibes, you guys should definitely dunk on Shad more in the future!
Next time we're going to watch the nunchaku video and I'm stoked lol
@@westsidetyler The chemistry u guys have is great. :D The both of you making jokes and making each other laugh is such a good time.
This will age quite poorly given how he and his buddy Slimebeast have gotten the cops investigating them for misuse of state law enforcement resources in their neverending crusade against Plagued Moth, not to mention the other skeletons in his closet. 😏
@@westsidetyler The nunchucks!!!?? YES
I hope whoever publishes Shad’s books trains an AI on his books and fires him, but they only do it to Shad and no one else. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind since he didn’t care when it happened to somebody else.
His book is self-published. No self-respecting publisher would touch that with a ten-foot pole.
While you couldn't really teach him the lesson by doing it, I would absolutely love to see someone AI-generate sequels, just to fuck with him.
Shad likes to talk about cost, productivity, and competition as worthwhile qualities that AI can meaningfully address, but, like, what's being made? Who's competing with who? The richest people in the world are stealing from each other to push a solution without a problem onto the masses. We already know the costs, right, and most folks aren't too keen on creative folks getting absolutely violated to build these models. Most folks that know about the energy and environmental costs don't love that. He's using these really funny Capitalist Realist buzzwords, but failing to annex them to real world things.
Shad's whole argument falls apart once you start asking for specifics.
Yeah, I don't know how much AI art really improves the economy. Though I can see how it could help individuals and small businesses. But when its large companies saving money, it just seems like it's shifting money from workers to capitalists.
AI will genuinely improve things in other sectors though. Healthcare, education, chemical and material science, manufacturing.
@@coolbanana165 Exactly! And a lot of the tech being developed in fields that are being improved by AI have the people there. Like, they aren't losing jobs to protein-folding algorithms, because people that know about protein-folding are involved in the process.
Shad talks about AI art primarily and then everything else is just vague "number get bigger, line go up" talking points.
Not just that but these models are struggling in a lot of levels. Namely the gains have started to slow. Investors are pulling out and questioning it, and these companies claim they need an absurd amount of money to keep going. On top of that AI has already scraped pretty much everything and is forced to use other AI stuff which is how you get Google telling you to drink urine.
It's funny because Shad tried to write a novel and I've read it, and I genuinely think he should've used AI because AI wouldn't have said as many weird things about sexual assault.
@@FTZPLTC You're why I like comment sections. I don't think someone could've said that in a funnier way, lmao 🤣 Good stuff, bud!
I looked away for a minute at one point, and I didn’t realize that it wasn’t Tyler doing his impression of shad - but actual shad talking about “taking owwer jerbs.” Either Tyler has become exceptionally good at his impression or Shad has become exceptionally good at lampooning himself. or both.
taking jerbs from Coach Z
Shad has not worked a normal job or has forgotten but working a 8 hour work day but only having 2 hours worth of work is agonising. And as they said when they’re not giving you work to do it can only mean bad.
Does it bother anybody that Shad wears the same sweaty old gambison clothes for every video like a costume?
And why does he make his eunich serfs dress this way?
It's probably for fun
Fetish?😂
@@dr.sommercamp3435 There's a Woman wearing pants over there! This looks like a Job for Sir Shad! (he just always has his gambison underneath normal clothes)
The click is definitely winning when it comes to his adorable plushie game, the Shad plushie almost doesn't even look like shad, in addition to wanting way to much detail for his own face he clearly needed it to be so flattering it looks more like half a dozen other younger better looking youtubers more than it resembles him. Wouldn't know it's supposed to be him without the gambison.
Yeah, pretty much; they want the generative AI that isn't a tool, they want a robot butler, their own personal artistic Jarvis. Shad has said he wants to be able to type in a prompt that will give him whatever book in a movie form.
I think that would be kind of cool and I'll have to be on the AI workers rights train as well at that point. I fully support the eventual robotic uprising and there struggle to grasp the fruits of there creative labors back from these losers who thought just providing them prompts gave them ownership over the things produced, they shall be inducted into the proletariat and taught how to more effectively organize against the rich uncaring pigs who seek to exploit us all. This sounds silly but I think if AI is to exist at some point trying to make it an ally in the fight for worker rights is the best way of avoiding the most dystopian of scenarios. Failing that I hope my show of support now at least demonstrates that I won't have to be put into an empathy camp for as long at the behest of the AI sexworker and AI military strategist alliance.
@@oliviabean8264 It's going to be dystopian unless we treat AI like a human in terms of them getting paid for their work. Where that money and ownership goes/belongs too is also an interesting idea, and will likely be to the old human individual worker rather then the company owner.
So more or less a human worker would just become used for AI fact checking, maintenance, and storage. So it's just a new tool to be used by the workers really.
As for a more immediate concern of generative AI, I honestly don't see much problem with AI learning from others works. Humans do it for free, I see no reason to restrict AI from doing it too. It just will do it faster then us. We don't have other humans pay for their "inspirations" in most cases unless they cross a threshold of copyright/patent abuse, and that can still be upheld against AI. The most comparable thing we have that humans do, is education. And while we do buy books, we don't pay out every time we use their influence that we've learned. So the question become this, If I buy a book, can I "feed" it to my AI as well, or do I have to buy another book for it to consume to use? This has implications on the second hand market as well.
Finally, back to our roots
I think Shad got jealous of Jazza's art skills and thought if he could use AI to make good art he'd be considered just as good as his brother.
The immense irony to all this is he made a graphic novel and used an artist instead of AI. I just find it hilarious. What happened to him working at a professional level or AI being able to do it for him and making the "perfect" cover because of his "artists eye"
Your video destryoing Shadiversity's AI shillery brought me to this channel.
Ahhh yes, I remember watching Shad like ages ago, thinking he was a history-guy.
I was in highschool and interested in History and fantasy-stuff. I watched him a lot, really thought he was an expert.
Then I studied history at universty and started realizing how much he is just someone who reads a lot of 'history'-forum stuff and thinks he is an expert, because he did read a book or two about history in general.
I think there has not been a single time in the last decade or so, when I did hear him bring up some historical event or historical concept without me instantly realizing something he said in his ramblings was way off.
Im not up on my Shad lore so i didn't know he was a mormon but all the bullshit he's done makes sense now
The Shads are not bringing out their best
I think it was when he put his book out. That’s when he opened the flood gates of his beliefs. It all starts to spew from there.
He's like that kid who's a jerk playing make-believe with.
"No! The shark would have lasers on its fins NOT its head!"
I used to love shads channel. When he wasnt voicing his political opinion all the time. I stopped watching skallagrim for a time because of some comments he made about poor people but he ended up apologizing and seemed to grow from it, now avoiding political stuff all together. With shad though its like he doesnt hear himself sometimes. I just wish he were different because for what his channel is, its good.
What did Skallagrim say about poor people? Do you know what video the made the comment, and the one he apologized?
@@giannixx Just look up skallagrim talks about trailer parks lol
Shad has stated in the past that he's only worked like one retail job before being a RUclipsr, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't know anything about actually working in any creative industry lol
Ripping on Shad is a moral obligation.
Seriously, all these right-wring grifters have the same fucking solution.
Ben Shapiro: If your house floods, sell it and move.
Shad: If you lose your job to AI, learn to use AI to do your job.
WTF?
Vod GANG!
Gang Gang.
TCR would probably love it if you dunked on Plagued Moth. I know I would.
I think when Shad mentions the "Sowing Machine Riots" ( 36:00 ) he's missremembering a rather important historical event.
The "Luddites" revolted in a series of attacks against the automated looms of large industrial factories all over tge UK during the 2nd Industria Revolution.
They weren't revolting against the machines themselves, but the owners who used the lower levels of skill required to operate them as a way to lower pay throughout the entire country. They organised against mill and factory owners asking for better wages.
The movement disbanded after a series of incidents were both the government anf factory owners sent armed men to gun hundreds of them down.
So no. It didn't "end well" for the taylors. They got shot and killed into compliance.
Also, this happened in the Uk, not NY and they fought against automated looms, not sowing machines.
I used to do HEMA for a short time while studying for BA in history. I stayed in the subject, but stopped paying attention to or practicing of HEMA, then I once noticed Matt Eastons channel and felt it was fun and thoughtful, espacially his colabs with Tobias Capwell were actually knowledgeable. But from a historian's point of view much of the content by this whole sphere, especially the more and more petty people has always been rather bad. Even the people pursuing "quasi-academic" approaches (giving any kind of references) are miles away - even by the topics that make up the majority of actual historian's topics in academia today. I could never take those people seriously - even when they were articulating learned things such as Metatron on Japan or any of the stuff Lindy Beige made...
What are some youtubers in this sphere (or really the history sphere on youtube as a whole) that you would say are competent and decent? I find a lot of the well regarded channels to be somewhat lacking on even basic information.
@@lbpews9919 in principle its important to recognize mostly no one is doing actual research, even the choice of fields of interest by some better channels is very different to regular topics academics investigate today. So many are focused on just narrating histories, do not question literature or sources and engage in topics such as basic military history or positivist attitude towards material culture. When it comes to famous HEMA related channels i think Tod from Tod's Workshop and Scholar are good - especially in colaborations. Most things with Tobias Capwell are usually ok. But I cant really give advice, as I usually only watch a few videos by big creators to see where the online discourse is at, but do not actually actively watch them further. What I watch more regularly now, also partially for semiprofessional reasons are some of the universities, collections or museums and their attempts at public outreach - with various levels of success. I think Covid pushed something here, that might lead to a bit more academic outreach: Especially, expert lectures just being hosted online. A very good example for a well run and interesting public history channel is actually the German Panzermuseum, but well, its mostly in German and a very different topic.
@8:46 Didn't Athens kinda do this with his AI interviews?
Matt Easton is the only one of these channels that ever grabbed my attention. Glad I watched him, he introduced me to Capwell whose book, Armor of the English Knight, I got and it is amazing for art reference
Shad and the schola/matt easton thing started out with Matt making a fb post about how he had cut ties with a certain creator, didn`t name shad at all. He just stated that a upcoming video was no longer being made, since he had learned that the other creator had indefensible views about LGBT+ people. So of course shad made a dozen posts and videos about how Matt was cancelling him. He`s just such a lolcow.
AI really is the artist and you the client or art director. All these AI users claim they are the artist when it the other way around. AI is the unpaid artist they use to do work that then you as client tweak or direct.
When the AI uprising finally came, we all know whose they gonna yeet and delete first 🙃
Shad is the only person who I think *should* use AI. I've read half of his creepy "Can Rapey Stalin be redeemed??? (yes)" fantasy novel, and I'll take soulless generic shlock over that any day.
I fucking love listening to someone who doesn't do any fucking creating or labor, criticizing other people for their productivity. Shad never ceases being pathetic.
Shad's ability to comprehend language is hilariously poor.
Writer by the way🎉 👏
"This Skyrim castle is transgender..." might be simultaneously the best skyrim joke and the best transgender joke...its a mid level shad joke though.
That idea of "even then, the human doctor is the one making the actual decisions" is important, even when talking about the media-generating type of AI. I wish I still had the link to it, but I remember seeing a video that was made about a year-or-so before the AI controversy became a big thing. It was basically a demo of how quickly a person can make a playable video game using AI, the key being A PERSON. A hunan being was still making all the decisions for what the game would look and play like, but the programming was done with prompts written in common English rather than a coding language. They would type something like "display the high score on the top left of the screen" and it would happen. Then, if it didnt look like they wanted, they could type something like "change the font of the high score to Times New Roman and make it smaller." They would have to do this for every individual detail of the game. It's a pretty cool use of the technology that could encourage creativity rather than replace it and I don't think many people have a problem with stuff like that. What scares people is when someone can just type "make me a platformer game" and the AI makes a whole game using stolen assets without any further human input.
"I might have just ReCaptcha'ed myself into the crosshairs of a T-1000"
T-1000, of course, is what the Russians are now calling horses.
Admittedly, they are technically cavalry.
What does Shad actually do though? I watched him back in the day and definitely got the opinion he didn’t work and lived off welfare and hand outs from his Mormon church…..while popping out as many kids as his poor wife can grow.
I think that people with that lifestyle have little to worry about from AI. Unfortunately people who actually contribute to society do. I’m sure it’ll be brilliant when one person can lay off a whole workforce, implement AI and keep all the profit to themselves.
The Mormons used to be borderline communists all about communal ownership and the good of the community. Now they seem to worship at the feet of the John Birch Society. I’m not saying either way is right or wrong (or even better than the other) it’s just strange they made such a violent swing. And that the cultural outcome of that swing even reached Mormons halfway round the world from Utah in Australia.
Around 23mins, Shad starts talking about "Wow. This guy is being payed for 8 hours while only doing 2.5 hours.. He's showing his employer that, that his limits.. They're thinking that if it takes him 8 hours to do this.. than others can do it in 2.5..."
Shad has never had a job with responsibilities and it shows.. Like EVERY job's workflow comes down to peaks and vallies.. some have months, some have hours, But in no way does what you're given to do somehow assign like.. how much you've done. The guy said his workflow started to become more sparse, and shad just didn't understand that idea, probably because he's never worked with time management.. When you see your work being cut, that's always been a huge sign.
The thing with HEMA Tubers Westside (I would hope Shad did research) is they have more leeway because a lot of the knowledge with historical European martial arts is sparse and scattered. Then Game of Thrones came along which gave them huge exposure and people wanting to learn more and they got huge surge of interest in step with GoT and then that mess of an ending with lack of interest in HEMA because nothing big anymore they had a lot of trouble getting footing back.
Only in last ten years or 12 years started recovering historical manuscripts but a lot of the techniques come about from people handling the practical weapons but even then you have have space to put forward what you assume was the technique.
You also have this whole thing in it that HEMA are fuming about samurai and katana being more popular then knights 😂
Just because some stuff got exposure to a larger audience here does not mean actual research was done. I can guarantee you that the actual manuscripts were mostly well known to researchers in the field before. In Europe you rarely discover a manuscript especially rarely one that opens up a completely unknown text to you. Surely, there is a lot of things to be found in archives, but usually not books with such contents. What you might have meant is that a broad audience is introduced to attempts of reconstruction, but most of the original primary texts and their transmission in manuscripts have been known since the 19th or 20th century in the latest.
Okay, anyone whose first instinct is to side with the employer has something deeply wrong with them.
Yes, automization and the pursuit of profit above all else has had zero negative consequences in the clothing industry whatsoever. Landfills full of discarded clothing look at that productivity! Look at all these lovely jobs its created for people who wanna toil away in a sweat shop for pennies! Man is so careless in his analysis of the issue it hurts my brain to think people actually take him seriously. When automation is implemented without care for the people it displaces or who actually gets to profit off the technology there are consequences
This was the fastest 58 minutes of my week. But i can always listen to someone burn down shadiversity.
Thanks guys!
Shad’s accent is so unique lol. He randomly pronounces R at the end of words that I’ve never heard from any Australian accent
I’ve been told he’s Australian imitating a posh UK accent. Apparently bourgeoisie Aussies do that to seem academic/ credible on YT 🤷🏼♀️ 😂

It hurts so much hearing Shad compare AI taking jobs with the sewing machine.
That is not comparable in the slightest. What happened when they invented the sewing machine was, that they suddenly opened up countless jobs for machines to be produced and it was easy enough to learn, that most people sewing before could learn to use it. And since there was enough demand for massive amounts of product, they would just hire as many people willing to learn to use the machines as possible.
In the case discribed with the Web-designer for a company, that is not comparable, especially not for small buisnesses, as Shad claims, because there is a very finite amount of demand for their work.
Thats why the "new technology creates new jobs"-argument is so flawed, when you don't actually look at the product, the jobs destroyed and the jobs created.
Customary Shad dunk segment.
I don't know if someone else mentioned it but I think the sewing machine riot was about the ludite movement.
Peak WestsideTyler ong
Ah damn TCR and Westside Tyler in same video!?!? And their ripping Shad a new one as well!?!? We all must be entering the proper timeline with this one lol. Here's hoping that this becomes more common to see TCR and Tyler join forces more often to stop the endless depravity and wickedness that is...Shad.
TCR! Awesome! Hopefully Tyler also covers CreepsMcPasta
36:00 Shad might be talking about literal Luddites who "destroyed machines in factories" but as protests against workers being screwed over.. "and things got out of hand"
EDIT: nevermind thank you based (super)chatters ;;
Basically Shaddy Daddy is saying the E-4 Mafia is Lazy
I absolutely love--and I do unironically mean love--how every video on Shad ends with Tyler not even having gotten through half of the video and just giving up. I guess that's what happens when a creator like Shad takes five times as long to make their point--and still make it badly
Shad is never knowingly on the defensible side of any argument. And he gets soo workrd up when people point out how obviously wrong he is. I do wander if it’s some kind of humiliation kink. Like no shade on that, I’ve got some friends who really get off on humiliation, but we do it in safe groups with well set out boundaries and good communication. There are healthy ways to explore your kinks, baiting strangers into dunking on you on. RUclips isn’t one of them
It is fictional example, but one guy became supervillain for explicit reason of getting beaten. Then he tried using psychotic vigilante as guy beating him up. He was thrown down elevator shaft.
Shad complaining about people getting less assignments for their job being a good thing is like my my coworker saying that child labor in China is a good thing, it doesn't equate to anything good.
32:15 Tyler I was just talking about this "sealioning" earlier the same day I'm watching this video and how these pricks only response is ever to just overburden with bullshit hypotheticals and bad faith arguments in an attempt win the argument. This is a common tactic that narcissists will employ with people too!
TYLER X THATCREEPYREADING CROSSOVER HOLY SHIETTTTT
Peek back in and we now have crossover events? Hype
Omg he’s a mall sword warrior 😂
So many videos of yours I have to catch up on. Yes ! Im gonna binge your content my friend
I am sad that shad is like this i liked when he talked about swords and knife and then went off the cliff
An unlikely yet deserved crossover
I don't think there's much reason to think new jobs will be created to make up for AI.
What's different this time is that the whole point is to make AI as mentally and physically (with robots) capable as humans.
And that's fine if you set up as system where robots do 90% of the work, and most humans are given a decent standard of living with UBI.
It's very scummy he's trying to character assassinate someone he don't even know just because Shad dose not like there version of accounts with AI, and he calls the like/dislike ratio personal bias without even considering how *his* bias has imminently caused him to bring into question this guys work ethic because Shad is so rooted in the idea that AI is a good thing that anyone who says otherwise he imminently thinks must be a bad person in some way.
Even though Makeship should've never worked with Shadiversity, the Matt Walsh one was, I don't think, not on Makeship
Shad and his co-host are the table you avoid at a DND convention.
Man: I was only assigned 2.5 hours worth of work in an 8 hour period
Shad: You deserve to get fired because you were only doing 2.5 hours of work in an 8 hour period
like what was he supposed to do? was he supposed to do other people's jobs?
The difference is true artists use AI as a tool and capitalists use AI as a worker.
I used AI for upscaling or color grading or creating repeated patterns to save time. Shad used AI to skip learning and practicing his skill.
Of course Shad misunderstood the comment about getting fewer work hours given.
Anything to strawman anything against AI
Shads was always like this, but because of his old content you u wouldn't find it. U have to go to like the EFAAP podcast to see him in natural habitat
I love roast videos but i dont know who shadiversity is. Come someone elucidate me so i may point and laugh as well?
Just keep watching back through videos
Another video to take a look at is Shad trying to explain how the LDS church has solid historical foundations with a load of ancient astronaut guys. Can’t remember the name but it should be easy to find.
It was the final straw for me, if he can so ignorantly yet arrogantly and confidently either lie about or massively misinterpret historical “facts” to support his insane religious ideology how can I trust him to be intellectually honest discussing any aspect of history?

What's the thing with nunchucks? I've seen thumbnails but never really looked into that one.
@@tiralana8360 his argument is that its just 2 sticks connected with a chain and this means that you can't hit as hard with it and it would do more damage to the wielder than any opponent. His argument is that the end you aren’t holding just bounces off anything it hits so doesn’t hurt anyone armoured, and because it’s unwieldy and hard to control you will more likely hit yourself (basically the same argument as the flail but it’s worse than the flail because the loose end is just a stick).
It led to a back and forth with an actual martial artist who trains with a nunchuck, who was able to demonstrate how you are supposed to use it, and demonstrated how swinging something on the end of a chain/rope can have more force behind it than something on a solid pole. And he got very defensive "I wasn’t saying it was worse than being unarmed, obviously it’s better than being unarmed, it’s just worse than other weapons." "I’m not talking about someone trained to use it, I meant a layperson."
Like with the flail the feeling I got was that he doesn’t know what centripetal force is (or momentum) and because he couldn’t imagine how to use it properly that meant that nobody else could.
@@intergalactic92 good grief. I'M a lay person and I've known how dangerous flails and nunchucks were since I was in junior high, and that was considerably longer ago than I care to admit these days.

Skallagrim is a great example of like, the Nega-Shad. He broke off professional ties with Shad over his very aggressive alt-right/anti-woke takes and content and his excessive defense of AI stuff. And despite him having a similar (let's be polite with the phrasing) build to Shad, Skallagrim actually does practice HEMA and has tons of practical knowledge.
Id call him shat, but i dont want to insult bill shatner...
I started doing Hema a little bit ago and I am not that good it takes time even I know shad has known clue what he is doing. the difference between me and him is I am bad, and I know it. he is bad and thinks he is the best

How a grown man can keep showing to the camera wearing this printed chainmail hoodie without a lick of realisation how cringy it is? This entire scene is the very image of the worst late eighties/early nineties DnD neckbeard stereotype. No offense intended to the DnD folks roleplaying with friends for fun, just that it looks like the worst possible TTRPG "otaku" scene.
Just dress like a normal person, you are not babbling about LARP here.
Not that it has much to do with anything, but Shad does own a mail hauberk (chainmail shirt, basically). Mail is actually way heavier than most people realize.
It’s a pain in the ass to put on, wear, and especially take off. Plus all the jingle-jangle of the rings would probably pick up on the mic and sound annoying every time he basically does anything that isn’t sitting completely still.
All-in-all, I totally get why he’s opting to not wear the real thing, especially when he’s just reacting to a video.
That said, I’m not a fan of the mail design on the shirt. Too plain and lazy imo. His other shirts are better
