@@nurgle-j5n nah, you can see Joe isnt faking it and using scripts like AVGN did towards the end. He really loves Battlefield and Madden, other games not so much.
Eh. Joe was always pretty milquetoast in his opinions. Very rarely did he go apeshit on a game that truly deserved it. Colonial Marines and DNF were probably the biggest examples I can recall where he really let loose. Otherwise itw as always middling or glowing praise.
I've never seen him even useful for information. He was fun in his AngryReviews, but when he started to let his friend make the "quick reviews" and clogging my feed with movie/show reviews (i was working and don't care about things now outside of games), i stopped watching And why I say not even info., because from Saint's Row the third to saint's row 4 review I opened my eyes to how much of a fanboy he is, the more fanboy he, the less critical he would be. And i could never stop to notice it after that 1 video and rewatching some back in the day
@@jackshizuho1491 Same happened with Battlefield… Once you know Joe is a fan of the franchise, he will never give a fair review (until it bites him in the ass).
Speaking of, a certain Marvel comic book character "Razor Fist" had his arms replaced with blades. I had to wonder how he wipe his ass, does he have someone doing it for him? I can imagine someone doing the airplane with a spoon while feeding him.
So, I work in the grocery chain, Kroger, which is one of the “last of the Mohicans” when it comes to ESG/wokeness culture in the workplace, but I’ve certainly seen trickles, like the insertion of lgbt type stuff, and the blm stuff implemented, but it’s also very much not implemented for the most part, as all people, of all walks of life require groceries. Oh, I know this nonsense will be pushed further, but it hasn’t taken hold, thankfully.
Mad Miguel slowly became a parody of himself. I lost respect for him when he did his whole "$7 in my wallet" rant. He sure looks like he's well fed with his ballooning weight, so that small amount of money must get him plenty of food at the buffet.
happens to a lot of women. she is likely a wh0re as well now. hate to break it to you. @@garysmith9823 the weird part is. ultra radical women tend to have kinks for alt-right men. at least from what i've seen online. haha! clown world.
well thing is if u offend a person on the right they may get mad or bitch. Offend a lefty with ur politics at best they leave and won't watch u at worse they will launch canceling campaigns and attack u.
@@franciscorafaelmontielpale7854 Not, being a shill involves being paid. And a shill doesn't have to be a coward either, just not a person of integrity.
Politics follow the Rules of Power. If you don't fall in line you stop becoming a "team player" and that is worse than being an enemy. People in the party have no choice but to fall in line.
Also a lot of people are simply highly annoyed with the opposing political faction, and want validation and revenge, so these commentary videos are cathartic.
Most people don't know or honestly care about politics. Its why it had to become a moral compass issue because if you asked people about actual politics, asked them what rate of taxation should any county in Rhode island should has to maintain safe and easy roads, they will slowly walk away from you because it's the most boring annoying subject you can get into. For democracy to function, you must fracture the nation and make it at each other's throats.
@@sygmarvexarion7891that sounds a lot like projection. I never wanted to harm a liberal ever before until they made it painfully obvious that they wanted me homeless in a sewer drain, eating rats to survive before I die.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Parliament and Prime Minister give an actual, true life SS officer a standing ovation for “fighting Russia for Ukrainian independence in the 2nd World War”. They’ve used the word so much that they no longer know what to do with a real one. It’s disturbing.
Wasn't aware all contact with Screw Attack had been cut just because some opinions were different. What a shitty way to treat someone you've worked with for years and you supposedly consider a friend.
Yeah, its sad. Thats why I cant stand politics anymore. All it does is cause people to eventually hate eachother over shit that isnt even real. Meanwhile, the politicians that caused it are walking away with everybodys money and nobody notices or cares.
I had a friend who was ready to cut ties with me just because I had the _audacity_ to support Ted Cruz early in the 2016 presidential campaign. After breaking contact with her (per her own request) and giving her the cold shoulder whenever we were in the same room for months (and likely the loss of Bernie Sanders), she reached out and apologized.
I had a male former music coach who cut ties with me just because I called out on Facebook the insane immediate mass protests that popped off _just because Trump got elected._ He wrote a long-winded reply scolding me over "I hope you are thankful for all the good things I did for you, because now all gay people are going to be genocided!" (Because Trump genociding the gays was _totally_ going to happen guyz.) Classy way for a high school teacher to treat a former student. Oh, and his post was liked by a girl I used to have a crush on in high school. She claimed she was a Republican, yet she voted for Hillary because "tRump is a sExIsT pIG!!!". I probably dodged a bullet there. I'm not attracted to Neocon losers.
You should have seen Illuminaughtii's fans in the comments section of her videos. They still simp for her acting like she had done nothing wrong despite the evidence.
Same for me, I watched him for his game reviews not leftist rants I get enough that from everywhere else. His show was funny and I enjoyed his rants about games. I just wanted a fun game review not politics.
The fact Angry Joe only act like a normal person in private, makes him a coward. We seen how he acts on his channel, other channel's comments, and Twitter.
Yes and no, he is like Razor in that both attempt to be entertaining for RUclips. Joe just gets too personal oftentimes which makes him stupid more than cowardly tbh, which should be obvious to anyone who saw his VGA interview.
that video actually got me into politics. I was never into them. I looked up this Anita woman, Found Sargon, Thunderfoot, Chris Ray Gun and a dude who's name I can't remember but used a text to speech red skull and a few others (The OLD skeptic community) I despised her, came back and commented on AJ's, got likes for it... Boom, Gamergate happened later that very year. Fucking nostalgia. that was 10 years ago next January
I'd add another type of person - brainwashed. A lot of people who believe in this nonsense aren't cowards, they genuinely buy into the craziness because they listen to what's put in front of them and run with it out a shred of investigation or open-mindedness.
Propaganda never truly brainwashes the majority of a population it just silences them into fear of what might their neighbors, villages, family might do to them if they spoke the truth, against power. That's what worked in USSR. If you were an enemy they'd send you to the Artic Auschwitz.
I had a long time friend ghost me for a while, but I kept trying to reach out, even messaging his other friends and his wife, until he confronted me and said he did not like who I was associating myself with and that I was on the wrong side of history. He told me we should go our separate ways. All I ever did was mention a couple interesting news articles I had seen, but apparently some of the sources were known to be "alt-right" and some of the subjects were also being discussed by alleged white nationalist groups so he assumed I was in league with them. At the time I didn't even know what alt-right was and I especially didn't realize anything I was saying was controversial. While he knew more about these groups than I did, he believed I was the one following them. Even though I was too stunned and angry to argue with him, I was (and still am) deeply wounded. Obviously I'm now more interested in politics but I think it's because that experience got me curious to learn more and planted a seed of great resentment towards the "woke". It's been quite an eye-opening experience and has taught me how puritanical and self-righteous the Left can be.
I had a similar experience with a person I still sort of consider friend. Honestly, he just suddenly blocked me. Or so I think. Sometimes I wonder if he died, which makes me feel guilty for assuming he treats me like shit. This happened soon after I said I don't disagree with Trump on many issues. (I actually don't want the man to be a President again, but I don't think he is an absolute villain) It was years ago now, and still hurts a little. He was like an uncle to my daughter, a friend I trusted with all (including my still rather quiet political beliefs) , and a person I went out of my way to help when ever he asked. Everything down the drain without any explanation or warning given.
And what your friend fails to realise is that by ostracizing you, that increases the chance of you becoming the thing he hates. When people have a "Wait a minute, you're one of them!?!" attitude towards someone who doesn't even know what the two sides are, the person being accused may feel they have nowhere to go but to the side that is perceived as evil. Not guaranteed to happen but can a self-fufilling prophecy. Which makes it all the more selfish on the part of your friend.
I follow Razorfist in spite of some serious disagreements. He's a very bright and entertaining fellow. His video on old school pulp magazine heroes is one of the best things ever put on youtube.
Razor is being far, _far_ to charitable to MovieBlob. There is a quiz out there called "MovieBob or Nazi" that challenges participants to separate Cinema Roberto's tweets from race socialists, and despite carefully thinking about each question, they only scored a 63%.
How can anyone like MovieBob, I mean seriously I wouldn’t be surprised if he too ended up being a Pedo too. There is a reason why Yahtzee had to kick him out of the channel.
I honestly think Angry Joe is a conservative but he’s fighting himself on it. He like most millennials has been taught from day one that Republicans are bad (recall that they literally meet in an evil castle on The Simpsons). Now he’s finding out he agrees with them on most issues and he can’t handle it so he’s lashing out.
He and a lot of people have to realize now there is two types of Republicans in the GOP at the moment. The rinos and neocons, who we know as the Bushes, Romneys, cheneys and McCains. Then there's the American first ones who go against the grain of the uniparty. Their views and policies tend to reflect more on the average American who isn't divided by tribal politics.
Republicunts used to be the party that was doing what the DemocRats are doing now. I'm 50, I'm old enough to remember living through The Satanic Panic, The PMRC, The Religious Right (who were all HEAVY Republicunt donors) siding with Ayatollah Khomeni on the fatwah against Salman Rushdie, and wanting to censor everything they didn't like. At the same time, the rise of the Clintons(I'm from the Midwest, I knew all about them LONG before he was running for Prez), just knowing how corrupt they were, and all the shit surrounding them, that they NEVER brought up during his campaign. Neither side did. That's when it hit me that they were all in it together. It's not about Side vs. Side, it's about "the Political Elite vs. The Stupid Plebs.
People who are wrong, and subconsciously know they're wrong, will always double down when confronted because they're terrified of looking foolish. That's where we are...
There's nothing wrong, with being wrong. As long as you either learn from the experience or understand the reasoning for being wrong. Zoomers and millennials who have the attention span of a gnat thanks to smartphones, are wrong most of the time because they are just wrong and don't know things anymore. Thank our gutted education system that is continually being dragged down and made out to be some horrible "woke" indoctrination machine. Funny how 20 years ago people had no problem with the school system and books being used. Only recently has it become some major issue that's apparently worthy of literal violence and book burning (ugh) and what not.
Not to mention there is a potential example in another thread in this comments section. It was over whether or not YT was responsible for comments disappearing or it was the content creator doing it. You know what thread I'm talking about.
I got his fans storming my Shorts video in response to Joe calling Eric July a racist. One known tactic they do is never engage the point being made. Suggest an alternative to derail the conversation into something else because some people don't form their opinion from the video, but rather the string of comments that have nothing to do with the video.
He very much teeters on that edge. Him saying if he could live in a world with only black people he would. Though he also said he wouldn't begrudge any white people (presumably anything between those shades) if they thought and did the same. Black people need to make black structures for black people away from white people. Pretty sad we live in a world where that's a respectable stance but we live in a world where the more violent version of that rhetoric is more common.
@@rorrim0 If memory serves me Craig sold the company, then it was bought out by Rooster Teeth, RT does what it does best with RUclips properties and ruins it, then I think Screw Attack got enough to basically go independent
I used to despise RazörFist, but I've come to realize he's a pretty alright guy, and we have a lot in common. This is probably why my former friends tried so hard to keep me from listening to him.
Try correcting him in his own comment section, he will hide your comment from public view. I pointed out a minor error once and he blocked me from commenting. Sure, he is alright but he is not good at taking any sort of criticism.
@@OpenMawProductions What he says to you could be entirely different to what he does. Don't tell me that I am lying, I am not, he hid a comment of mine that was garnering likes, as many others saw that he had made a small mistake and some agreed. Then, all of a sudden, my comment stopped getting responses and likes, I went to incognito mode and my comment was now gone. You know what else, I am not the first or last person to say this. I was a huge fan of his, until he pulled that. I am still subbed, I still watch (it's how I came to be here) but he let me and many others down with his proclamations of being against such things only to go ahead and do it himself. It's a facade. Another time, I went to the trouble of timestamping one of his audiobook reads. He gave me a heart, then copied and pasted everything I typed out into his description but rather than give credit (I presume) he did it in a way as if he created this himself, by rearranging what I did, putting the timestamp after the title of each segment, which back then, didn't work at that time. The timestamp needed to be first, then the segment title. How did I know he copied and pasted it? Well, I made two spelling errors that he didn't bother to correct. (Last time I checked they were still there). Am I bothered that he took that and without giving me credit? No, I did it to help him out and was pleased that he put it in the description. When I pointed out, the error with the timestamps, again, only trying to help him, he removed the heart that he gave, then hid my comment. Just because you've had positive interaction with him, doesn't mean that what I say here is false. I am not against the guy, I like him and have defended him against certain accusations & rumours but let's not pretend that he is as he portrays himself to be because he is not. I don't know how to break this to you but he is just another human, doing as humans do. Did any of that seem like I was being unreasonable to you?
@@policesquad Let me help you out here, Friendo. You are saying "This is how he is." I'm telling you from experience "no he's not." You had a bad experience. That doesn't mean that's how he operates on the regular? or, in short, yes, it sounds unreasonable.
@@OpenMawProductions I had TWO bad experiences with him and I explained that to you and yet, somehow this is lie because you didn't have this experience? As I have said, I am not the only person to say this. What was unreasonable about what I did? The fact that you say this speaks volumes. They say Angry Joe fanbois are the worst, and they are but tell me, how are you any better? You are two sides of the same coin and the condescension is boring. What did you write to him, a love letter or something? Small wonder he took to that, if it was, his ego is almost as large as Trump's. He is a bit of a diva, it's as simple as that, not sure why you feel the need to defend it.
Your tears taste so yummy in our tummies! 😘 After Nintendo, nobody makes better first party games (F Naughty Dog tho and that pos Cuckman) and the only people whining about it are kids whose parents can't afford more than a Switch and dopey fangirls who can't like anything if it's not on their system. (and ancient boomers I suppose) You all WISH you had Sonys first party games, while nobody over here gives a F about Halo Shitfinite or Fable: GenderBender Edition or "we have Gran Turismo at home" Forza. Even your one single "big game" this year has already been mostly forgotten about. Seriously, you all seem to OBSESS over what Sony does (or doesn't do), while we don't think of you at all. (unless mockery counts?) Why do you think every time a Sony franchise finally hits Steam, it's a big deal and sells well? Let me guess: PC gamers are "too cinematic"! 🥺 Get real lol.....
i dont agree with everything razorfist says, but i still respect him. mainly for going as far as he did to prove that micheal jackson didn't do what they said he did.
Angry Joe clearly still has the ability to make good videos (like his roasts of the Madden franchise), but he lets politics get in the way too often. He thinks he knows more than he actually does, it's a shame honestly.
That's sad that no one from ScrewAttack stays in touch with Craig anymore. That was such a huge site/channel back in the day, and it looked like they were all bros. That's petty as hell.
Yeah it saddened me too. Though I didn’t know Craig brought back Sidescrollers. I always preferred Sidescrollers to Death Battle. So I’m happy to be subscribed again
I remember that madness. It was like people got herded in boxes in the social media mills. Suddenly you're losing a friend you knew to body dysphoric transformer ideological political rainbow activist. I JUST WANTED MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3! 😮
You guys are 100% correct on this. Either you are with them or against. No middle road, no agree to disagree. Your the Evil. Even though before in the gaming space, you could believe whatever you wanted. Our industry has been Hijacked outside of Indie gaming. Thankfully they are still some of the most down to earth People on the Planet. What Gamers used to be, People that would argue over certain games, composers or what fighting game reigned supreme. Not which party they voted.
Angryjoe can be such a baby towards pwople with different opinions. The eric july thing,calling out another yotuber for not liking barbie, trashing people who liked the fnaf movie
I forget what e3 it was, and how it was exactly worded, but when Bolen was at screwattack, he put out an article called something to the effect of "not hottest babes of e3". Insinuating that these women weren't attractive or shouldn't have been wearing what they were. They had to take it down pretty quickly. I'd bet money that very few people remember that.
@@ScrambledBrain5 I remember when I became wary of Bob when he had such a massive orgasm over the spy beating a church full of Christians. I think that was when I realised that militant atheism was... cringe.
Watched Angry Joe way back in 2011. Those were the days with Angry Beard, Delrith etc. When we were attacked in earnest by the hijacking brainwashed neo marxists in 2015, [remember we didnt start the culture war, we were attacked by the hijacking culture vandals] Angry Joe, for all his bluster, hid under a table. Looking back however, the warning signs were there of Joe being a lamb in leather jacket, when Anita Sarkizien came on the scene and Joe BERATED AND TALKED DOWN on gamers who warned about her, gamers giving examples of Marvel, DC, IDW comics being hijacked in 2011/2012. Even itsagundam called Joe's white knight bs. When Joe's channel growth plateaued, Joe ventured out in other entertainment commentary, tv, streaming, movies...but his takes SUKs! GOT, RoP, movies, giving passive aggressive vibes to Alex who is more based and giga then him etc. Sigh. Sad to see Joe bend the knee to the SJW cult. [Plus Joe thinks himself smarter then he really is, and whenever he rants on Ukraine/Russia immediately you can see he didnt took the trouble to study nuances of the geopolitics, history, culture, the misinformation and propaganda war. Some people like to talk out publicly even though they expose their ignorance on the subject. Sigh. Joe is not a shill, but he is definitely a disappointment, when we need strong men fighting the neo marxist fake geek hijack of geek culture. Really really like Joe back in 2010s but he turn out to be a SJW black pill. Sigh.]
100% facts, he let the wolf in the door then had to defend his poor decision's for years afterwards, never admitting fault and by never admitting wrong doing has gone even further into denial and extremist propaganda.
It’s really sad. Hell Delrith try to strike out on his own. He got absolutely no support from angry Joe, and tried for a while but his channel didn’t grow…. About a week ago he put out a video saying he’s giving up content creation for RUclips for a while. He basically imply that Angry Joe and his group turned his back on Delrith.
@@Theautisticlibertarian Yeah shame. Remember Delrith fps plays, the guys' a legit mvp player. Before Joe's current passive aggressive vibes to Alex for being more Alpha then him, Joe gave passive aggressive vibes to Delrith for being handsdown a better gamer then him. Joe has some insecurities issues he need to work through. Fun Fact, in a video I remember ACG praised Delrith, he said he met Del back when ACG was a small channel and Del was part of AJ's crew. ACG said Del was a chill down-to-earth polite dude. [paraphrase going on memory]. Well Del is meant for better. He's actually smart and a legit gamer. For Joe..well...AZ from heelsvsbabyface, Shad from Shadiversity, itsagundam and many others dont have warm words for joe compared to ACG for Delrith.
Joe is a simpleton in that way, because he projects that criticizing Anita is "bashing on someone because they are a woman". He's not able to get past the fact that we actually have individual equality in society among rational individuals and that we can see past gender and race and criticize the merit of their arguments. You can tell this is the case because bad faith actions against you will result in calling you a racist, or a sexist, or a nazi. It's just how they roll.
I'm kinda at a point where finding out a friend is a lefty is a possible red flag. It sucks, but drama follows them around like a pet dog. Not saying I'd never be friends with a lefty, but I certainly wouldn't open up to them about anything for maybe 4 or 5 years.
Yeah, people don't wanna be friends with an ideology that spent their history trying to screw over and stop others from having rights. Who would have guessed?
In a way Gamergate was the warning shot of what was going to be the future of modern pop culture. Or rather modern anything. It has devolved into two factions warring against one another and refusing to calm down and sit down to talk about it. It is saddening how there are people out there who keep stoking the flames of this culture war.
there is no sitting down and talking with the left. They are delusional and live in a different reality and refuse to hear any argument that goes against their cultish narrative.
Then micspam "Swiggity Swag." If the players start laughing/you aren't banned for hate speech, then you've found a game/server worth sticking around on.
To me, the culture wars kicked off when I went from rural poor Georgia to a rich community private University, and I was bullied relentlessly, back in 2007. That made me question each and everyone single one of those guys and gals about who and what they were. Plus, a friend of mine got into a he said she said one night stand that resulted in the school removing his scholarship and kicking from the place for 2 years, while no criminal investigation occurred. That also made me question so much. In the end, I realized that so many lie about what they are publicly, and privately, and only open up to you if you are either an outsider, or one of them.
Something similar happened to me. Moved from rural Georgia to Atlanta. Got bullied relentlessly. Instead of being a bitch about it, I learned that the beliefs I held were actually wrong and stupid. You can learn and grow, you know.
Two spaces used to be politically neutral and were spaces where folks could come together, gaming and sports. Sports has been completely politicised and gaming is almost there.
The first time I noticed something was up with game journalism was in 2013 with the review scores for Gone Home. Players were absolutely baffled that a 20$ 1 hour game was getting 9/10s left and right.
I will add this to the conversation. I learned VERY early on in life that if people think I SHOULDN'T be something, then I absolutely WILL be that something. I know RF doesn't care for thrash much but to quote a favorite song of mine by Sabbat- "You say I'm the Devil, then by Hell, the Devil I'll be."
I never unsubbed, it's always funny to watch Joe vs the other guests or regulars. As you can see the divide and how arkward it is and how the other's have to pussy foot around joe. Oh and the inevitable, "this is crap" after talking a show up and defending it from the "angry people online" ~oh the irony.
@@Svoorhout85 90% of the time, yes. He's specifically argued with me on Twitter saying that "mediocre" games are worse than terrible games. We know what he thinks mediocre is.
Wow I'm sorry that you lost contact with the old screwattack guys. You guys had great chemistry. I love the Hey Let's Play series. I wish there was an easy way to rewatch them
you know that black pastor that shouts "beta !" Jesse Lee Peterson that's trhe definition of angry joe, he wants to please and be loved on social media so much he never says the truth, outside of political his takes on movies and games are as bad..he tried as hard as possible to the point of ridicule to not be too negative about things..so much that he started to believe it, I'm 100% confident in the fact that without Other Joe and Alex his show would have died long ago
I miss the days when content creators just had fun making videos and building communities. The mid to late 2000s will be sorely missed. Too much commercialization in this space. Everyone wants to be a star, and because of this status-obsessed generation, you have creators of varying fame backstabbing each other to get ahead
Honestly I felt like the shift happened when people tried to make the content their career. I feel like things were more chill when content creators had other jobs and were just having fun.
Ever since Angry Joe brought that fat guy onto the show his content snowballed from bad to worse. He already had degraded since leaving Nostalgia Critic, having to do his own scripting and production values, the fat guy was just the final nail in the coffin for him. I left the Angry Army in 2019 and never looked back.
I used to watch angry joe and liked his reviews once upon a time but then something changed . He started pandering to that 1% and i lost all respect for him . I mean he defended she hulk need i say anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing says peek writing like writing the critics of a show into the show and saying "see we made fun of you first this time, check mate nazi bigot's."
@@EntropyRisen I know, it's funny that our society has totally lost the ability to enjoy things objectively that others may not! LOL Fun. Thanks Obama.
Very recently, in, of all things, a shitposting page, I was called a bigot because I responded to a pro-trans post (I have nothing against anyone if they're a decent person) because I responded with 'OK?'. Nothing else. I hadn't seen any posts in this group about trans people (it's about Dune)and didn't understand why it had been posted. People who consider themselves 'culture revolutionaries' seem to be incredibly quick to any perceived slight,and that rubs a lot of people up the wrong way
Angry Joe was fine driving pedal to mettle in the gaming lane. Then he started swerving all over place in the movie lane. When it came to politics he was speeding into head on traffic. Thing is Joe has his foot on the gas, but he isn't the great driver he thinks he is out of his lane. How many movie dings and political car crashes has Joe had? I miss just good old Gamer Joe.
@@Svoorhout85 First time I saw that term was in the comments section of an entry for the site slipups back in 2000. The user made a post about beating Vileplume to death with a pipe.
Even when I disagree with Razor politically I always respect how well he can make a point and explain his side. He's alright by me. Been a fan of his music content for a long time.
Wait… what…? I was a huge PC gamer in the late 90s & early 2000s. There was only 2 things that mattered. 1, How good were you? 2, How does your wife put up with your gaming 24-7? Politics NEVER entered our thought 💭 process! I got hooked on Half-Life for a year or two and then I moved on to Counter Strike and then Counter Strike Source. I’m SHOCKED to hear politics is in the Gaming community now; that’s BS! I have to ask my 26-year-old son. Now, he’s really not into FPS (occasionally) but he’s a strategy gamer. But he’ll know what’s up.
It is amazing that the pretty much as soon as Jack was made irrelevant there was a whole group of people ready to take his place using roughly the same arguments but from a different lense.
Craig your voice and humor MADE Screwattack. If you werent in a video ot was barely worth watching. I am very glad that you have stayed true to your principles
I think all of the gaming magazines outside of whichever one Gamestop was pushing were in San Francisco and LA: Gamespot. EGM, IGN, Destructoid, etc. Game Informer was in the mid West or something.
First of all, im not an american so Im not a "trump supporter" OR one of his "voter" (... in fact he is a clown in my eyes for many reasons) but the fact that people like "Angry Joe" can call trump supporters for morons, racist etc just tells me enough about him. And thats the irony of the people who enter sidescrollers chat and ask them why they talk politics- let me take a wild guess, they never confronted Angry Joe about bringing up "trump" on his gaming channel or calling a portion of his audience for idiots, and racist for supporting him etc, but hey, I can understand that its hard to be honest and fair when you have an agenda yourself. I assume Joe, as a "mexican", probably is offended that people dont want mexicans coming in masses sneaking in illegally in to USA - AND - there is probably some shame in that Mexico is a country people wanna flee from (... and I do feel sad for the mexicans because the country they made is so bad they dont wanna live there- I would never leave my own home country) and he can never talk about "why". So he lash out on "whitey" and Trump supporters instead. With all that said, I think he makes decent gaming videos. But he clearly is a very sensitive and a lefty man who loves Mexico above everything else and thus willing to call his audience for racist for not wanting mass migration from Mexico. What a shame.
Same here, I never endorsed Trump and I'm not American and I remember being in my High School's Cafeteria hearing all the Students talking about Trump winning the Election.
Trump's policies are amazing for Americans..it's that simple I don't care who he is or what he does as long as things are getting better for Americans and for America.
Joe famously went on a racist tirade on Twitch, back in 2016 when the Orange Man won. I have not subbed to him ever since. He has charisma, very likeable but his stance on most things is just bizarre. He knows that the very people he sides with are eating away at gaming but still defends it. On that stream, he was getting all his talking points from The YoungTurks, I am not even kidding. TYT would talk about something and shortly thereafter Joe would share the same take on his twitter feed as if it was his own original thought. I called him out for this and was blocked.
Trump was the best thing that happened to America. Gas was 1.80 in the free states, regs were being cut, unemployment was down for everyone, it was great. It really showed people that all politicians are absolutely not on our side
Yeah, 99% of public/online arguments aren't about winning said arguments (i.e. convincing the other side that you are right, at least partially and getting them to concede the argued point), but about posturing to your stated side that you are as uncompromisingly strong on the issues as physically possible. Essentially they're campaigning for their side, even if in reality you're not even 100% on their side. But once the conversation becomes private that all falls away and they become much more movable on the issues than they would be in public.
Angry Joe was wanting to play online with Obama and would enjoy it. Obama wanted to curb online gaming because of the addiction it was causing. Guess Joe never seen Obamas viewpoint...
Politics is the Great Divider. If folks are a bit too united in commonality for your liking, just introduce a little of that political brew into the mix, and all of the elements making up that otherwise harmonious assemblage will soon be at each other’s throats in virtually no time.
I saw the birth of the weird wokies in the Atheist movement, when all of sudden lectures went from Evolutionary Biology and Science to talking about women's rights.
Id say it was arround 2010 to Late 2013 When Video Games slowly got more Popular then movies. JUST Look at the Sales Numbers of GTA V on PS 3 within the first 15 Days.
That's why I only play games like FF7 remake and Skyrim and dont listen to guys like Angry Joe anymore. They are all entertaining but you cant play a modern western game set in a completely fictional world now without somebody injecting they're whole socio-political ideology into it.
The ENTIRE entertainment sphere has been infested with activists who think people who want to escape from the everyday stresses of life want to hear their political and ideological beliefs
Angry joe was trying way to hard to pretend that she hulk was good.
Tbh I’ve seen worse lol I prefer She-Hulk over this boring multiverse stuff
Seriously? Just goes to show his tastes in entertainment is shit.
He hated it wtf?
He was giving it the benefit of the doubt but by episode 4 he went this sucks
She-hulk was good not great. Matt Murdock definitely helped
Angry Joe is in peak performance when talking about Battlefield and Madden. Other topics? Not so much.
But what peak performance though.
@@Ryfael peak AVGN ripoff performance
@@nurgle-j5n nah, you can see Joe isnt faking it and using scripts like AVGN did towards the end. He really loves Battlefield and Madden, other games not so much.

@@Ryfael Going by his Madden reviews he hasn't enjoyed playing these games for years now.
Joe used to be cool and a resourceful source of information and opinion on games but ya..hes fallen down the deep end.
Eh. Joe was always pretty milquetoast in his opinions. Very rarely did he go apeshit on a game that truly deserved it. Colonial Marines and DNF were probably the biggest examples I can recall where he really let loose. Otherwise itw as always middling or glowing praise.
I've never seen him even useful for information.
He was fun in his AngryReviews, but when he started to let his friend make the "quick reviews" and clogging my feed with movie/show reviews (i was working and don't care about things now outside of games), i stopped watching
And why I say not even info., because from Saint's Row the third to saint's row 4 review I opened my eyes to how much of a fanboy he is, the more fanboy he, the less critical he would be.
And i could never stop to notice it after that 1 video and rewatching some back in the day
He was paid to say things. Total shrill he was@@OpenMawProductions
Thats what happens when you try to grow, and end up selling up… Joe has become just another shill, like John Campea, and Chris Stuckmann.
@@jackshizuho1491
Same happened with Battlefield… Once you know Joe is a fan of the franchise, he will never give a fair review (until it bites him in the ass).
I heard RazorFist doesn’t actually have fists made of razors. Have to do an expose video.
Speaking of, a certain Marvel comic book character "Razor Fist" had his arms replaced with blades. I had to wonder how he wipe his ass, does he have someone doing it for him? I can imagine someone doing the airplane with a spoon while feeding him.
This made me think, who’s the Metallica of RUclips? Someone who exploded in popularity and then fizzled out.
Probably Epic Meal Time or Lily Singh.
Razorfist is the Nickleback of RUclips.
@@policesquad not popular enough for that title
Theres a reason AngryJoe's channel stopped growing and if it wasn't for Alex, he would probably have lost alot more viewers already.

Angry Joe would definitely drink the Flavoraide.
Gaming: a once neutral and fun place, has been captured
So, I work in the grocery chain, Kroger, which is one of the “last of the Mohicans” when it comes to ESG/wokeness culture in the workplace, but I’ve certainly seen trickles, like the insertion of lgbt type stuff, and the blm stuff implemented, but it’s also very much not implemented for the most part, as all people, of all walks of life require groceries. Oh, I know this nonsense will be pushed further, but it hasn’t taken hold, thankfully.
Kroger really does have a problem staying neutral. Every time I go, I have to walk by that turning shelf of bibles and Christian books.
I don't hate Joe but seeing him makes me sad and makes me miss the days of yore when things were less... frustrating?
That Metallica parable was awesome. Megadeth > Metallica all day, every day.
Proud of you, Craig. Been watching since the beginning.
Didn't Joe get MeToo'd a few years ago?
razorfist seems so chill i would drink a beer with him
Screwattack did cover gamergate on Hard News as the story broke.
Mad Miguel slowly became a parody of himself. I lost respect for him when he did his whole "$7 in my wallet" rant. He sure looks like he's well fed with his ballooning weight, so that small amount of money must get him plenty of food at the buffet.

@@franciscorafaelmontielpale7854 Not, being a shill involves being paid. And a shill doesn't have to be a coward either, just not a person of integrity.
I think a lot of youtubers are. They fear the "Eye of Susan" watching their every move.
What makes me angry about politics is that most people don’t believe in what they’re saying. They just become followers and cowards. Grow a spine.
Politics follow the Rules of Power. If you don't fall in line you stop becoming a "team player" and that is worse than being an enemy.
People in the party have no choice but to fall in line.
Also a lot of people are simply highly annoyed with the opposing political faction, and want validation and revenge, so these commentary videos are cathartic.
Most people don't know or honestly care about politics. Its why it had to become a moral compass issue because if you asked people about actual politics, asked them what rate of taxation should any county in Rhode island should has to maintain safe and easy roads, they will slowly walk away from you because it's the most boring annoying subject you can get into.
For democracy to function, you must fracture the nation and make it at each other's throats.
@@sygmarvexarion7891that sounds a lot like projection.
I never wanted to harm a liberal ever before until they made it painfully obvious that they wanted me homeless in a sewer drain, eating rats to survive before I die.

Wasn't aware all contact with Screw Attack had been cut just because some opinions were different. What a shitty way to treat someone you've worked with for years and you supposedly consider a friend.
Yeah, its sad. Thats why I cant stand politics anymore. All it does is cause people to eventually hate eachother over shit that isnt even real. Meanwhile, the politicians that caused it are walking away with everybodys money and nobody notices or cares.
He's better off not having "friends" like that.
That’s some Greg Miller level stuff
I had a friend who was ready to cut ties with me just because I had the _audacity_ to support Ted Cruz early in the 2016 presidential campaign. After breaking contact with her (per her own request) and giving her the cold shoulder whenever we were in the same room for months (and likely the loss of Bernie Sanders), she reached out and apologized.
I had a male former music coach who cut ties with me just because I called out on Facebook the insane immediate mass protests that popped off _just because Trump got elected._
He wrote a long-winded reply scolding me over "I hope you are thankful for all the good things I did for you, because now all gay people are going to be genocided!" (Because Trump genociding the gays was _totally_ going to happen guyz.)
Classy way for a high school teacher to treat a former student.
Oh, and his post was liked by a girl I used to have a crush on in high school. She claimed she was a Republican, yet she voted for Hillary because "tRump is a sExIsT pIG!!!".
I probably dodged a bullet there. I'm not attracted to Neocon losers.
Mildly irritated José has lost is credibility almost a decade ago
I'm surprised his career hasn't sunk faster
He outsourced his job to another Mexican and got corporate dollars for it to cover the loss.

Politics is the reason I stopped watching Angry Joe. It became so cringy.
Same for me, I watched him for his game reviews not leftist rants I get enough that from everywhere else. His show was funny and I enjoyed his rants about games. I just wanted a fun game review not politics.
Joe was also against Anti Vaxers…he’s part of the woke establishment 🙁
As if he wasn't cringy before that
The fact Angry Joe only act like a normal person in private, makes him a coward. We seen how he acts on his channel, other channel's comments, and Twitter.
Angry Joe is a pathetic bandwagoner and total coward.
Linkara groomed him
Or it makes him a grifter.
Yes and no, he is like Razor in that both attempt to be entertaining for RUclips. Joe just gets too personal oftentimes which makes him stupid more than cowardly tbh, which should be obvious to anyone who saw his VGA interview.
Angry Joe defended Zoe Quinn and her like back in the day in his top 10 year countdown. He was sin game jam and still defended the loons .
that video actually got me into politics. I was never into them. I looked up this Anita woman, Found Sargon, Thunderfoot, Chris Ray Gun and a dude who's name I can't remember but used a text to speech red skull and a few others (The OLD skeptic community)
I despised her, came back and commented on AJ's, got likes for it...
Boom, Gamergate happened later that very year.
Fucking nostalgia. that was 10 years ago next January
And Anita Sarkesian the year before.
Post 2016 election ranting about old white people was my "what happened to Angryjoe moment."
Angry joe really revealed himself to be a loony leftist.
for me it was when he went on his pro anita sarkeesian rant.

At this point, you're either a normal person, or a coward. And there are a lot of cowards.
about 66% of any given group will submit to the status-quo.
I'd add another type of person - brainwashed. A lot of people who believe in this nonsense aren't cowards, they genuinely buy into the craziness because they listen to what's put in front of them and run with it out a shred of investigation or open-mindedness.
Propaganda never truly brainwashes the majority of a population it just silences them into fear of what might their neighbors, villages, family might do to them if they spoke the truth, against power. That's what worked in USSR. If you were an enemy they'd send you to the Artic Auschwitz.
If the majority are cowards, then cowards are now the "normal" people.
Razorfist is a coward. Razor blocks people on Twitter or shadowbans RUclips comments if you call him out how he's wrong.
I had a long time friend ghost me for a while, but I kept trying to reach out, even messaging his other friends and his wife, until he confronted me and said he did not like who I was associating myself with and that I was on the wrong side of history. He told me we should go our separate ways. All I ever did was mention a couple interesting news articles I had seen, but apparently some of the sources were known to be "alt-right" and some of the subjects were also being discussed by alleged white nationalist groups so he assumed I was in league with them. At the time I didn't even know what alt-right was and I especially didn't realize anything I was saying was controversial. While he knew more about these groups than I did, he believed I was the one following them. Even though I was too stunned and angry to argue with him, I was (and still am) deeply wounded. Obviously I'm now more interested in politics but I think it's because that experience got me curious to learn more and planted a seed of great resentment towards the "woke".
It's been quite an eye-opening experience and has taught me how puritanical and self-righteous the Left can be.
A friend who puts his politics before friendship is no friend at all.
I had a similar experience with a person I still sort of consider friend. Honestly, he just suddenly blocked me. Or so I think. Sometimes I wonder if he died, which makes me feel guilty for assuming he treats me like shit.
This happened soon after I said I don't disagree with Trump on many issues. (I actually don't want the man to be a President again, but I don't think he is an absolute villain) It was years ago now, and still hurts a little. He was like an uncle to my daughter, a friend I trusted with all (including my still rather quiet political beliefs) , and a person I went out of my way to help when ever he asked.
Everything down the drain without any explanation or warning given.
Your friend is really prejudiced and intolerant of differing viewpoints. He probably also claims to be inclusive and open minded
@@chickenborn7697dichotomous thinking is indicative of mental illness. Lacking in nuance. Someone is either 100% evil or 0% to these people
And what your friend fails to realise is that by ostracizing you, that increases the chance of you becoming the thing he hates.
When people have a "Wait a minute, you're one of them!?!" attitude towards someone who doesn't even know what the two sides are, the person being accused may feel they have nowhere to go but to the side that is perceived as evil.
Not guaranteed to happen but can a self-fufilling prophecy. Which makes it all the more selfish on the part of your friend.
I follow Razorfist in spite of some serious disagreements. He's a very bright and entertaining fellow. His video on old school pulp magazine heroes is one of the best things ever put on youtube.
His documentaries on rockbands are amazing. And his defense of Michael Jackson is for the history books.
Yeah, the metal mythos series is great, hope to see more from him in the near-future
The only downfall of his pulp video is he mentions that they are free to read, but doesn't provide any links to where you can access them for free
@@AceLM92 Links expire, bro. Razorfist's pulp videos are evergreen and designed to be relevant forever.
@@finalmidnight true. I'm not even worried about it anymore. Found what I needed on my own.
And here I thought for many years Razorfist hated Angry Joe. This is very eye opening. Moviebob however, that’s a different story.
I don't think anyone likes Moviebob.
Razor is being far, _far_ to charitable to MovieBlob. There is a quiz out there called "MovieBob or Nazi" that challenges participants to separate Cinema Roberto's tweets from race socialists, and despite carefully thinking about each question, they only scored a 63%.
How can anyone like MovieBob, I mean seriously I wouldn’t be surprised if he too ended up being a Pedo too.
There is a reason why Yahtzee had to kick him out of the channel.
Moviebob and DSP (and maybe Boogie) are genuinely the type that should be mocked by everyone equally.
He was pretty early with Jim Sterling.
I honestly think Angry Joe is a conservative but he’s fighting himself on it. He like most millennials has been taught from day one that Republicans are bad (recall that they literally meet in an evil castle on The Simpsons). Now he’s finding out he agrees with them on most issues and he can’t handle it so he’s lashing out.
He and a lot of people have to realize now there is two types of Republicans in the GOP at the moment.
The rinos and neocons, who we know as the Bushes, Romneys, cheneys and McCains.
Then there's the American first ones who go against the grain of the uniparty. Their views and policies tend to reflect more on the average American who isn't divided by tribal politics.
Joes girlfriend is a sjw
Honestly, Simpsons and Family Guy criticizing millenial leftists after basically creating them is such a Frankenstein turning on his monster moment.
joe is not a conservative...
at best he is a libatarian.
Republicunts used to be the party that was doing what the DemocRats are doing now. I'm 50, I'm old enough to remember living through The Satanic Panic, The PMRC, The Religious Right (who were all HEAVY Republicunt donors) siding with Ayatollah Khomeni on the fatwah against Salman Rushdie, and wanting to censor everything they didn't like.
At the same time, the rise of the Clintons(I'm from the Midwest, I knew all about them LONG before he was running for Prez), just knowing how corrupt they were, and all the shit surrounding them, that they NEVER brought up during his campaign. Neither side did. That's when it hit me that they were all in it together. It's not about Side vs. Side, it's about "the Political Elite vs. The Stupid Plebs.
People who are wrong, and subconsciously know they're wrong, will always double down when confronted because they're terrified of looking foolish. That's where we are...
There's nothing wrong, with being wrong. As long as you either learn from the experience or understand the reasoning for being wrong. Zoomers and millennials who have the attention span of a gnat thanks to smartphones, are wrong most of the time because they are just wrong and don't know things anymore. Thank our gutted education system that is continually being dragged down and made out to be some horrible "woke" indoctrination machine. Funny how 20 years ago people had no problem with the school system and books being used. Only recently has it become some major issue that's apparently worthy of literal violence and book burning (ugh) and what not.

Sad, but true.
I got his fans storming my Shorts video in response to Joe calling Eric July a racist. One known tactic they do is never engage the point being made. Suggest an alternative to derail the conversation into something else because some people don't form their opinion from the video, but rather the string of comments that have nothing to do with the video.
He very much teeters on that edge. Him saying if he could live in a world with only black people he would. Though he also said he wouldn't begrudge any white people (presumably anything between those shades) if they thought and did the same. Black people need to make black structures for black people away from white people. Pretty sad we live in a world where that's a respectable stance but we live in a world where the more violent version of that rhetoric is more common.
Left wingers are vermin. That's just the fact.

Try correcting him in his own comment section, he will hide your comment from public view. I pointed out a minor error once and he blocked me from commenting.
Sure, he is alright but he is not good at taking any sort of criticism.
@@policesquad That's not true at all. I've reached out to the man and he is more than willing to take on board criticism if it is reasonable.
@@OpenMawProductions What he says to you could be entirely different to what he does. Don't tell me that I am lying, I am not, he hid a comment of mine that was garnering likes, as many others saw that he had made a small mistake and some agreed. Then, all of a sudden, my comment stopped getting responses and likes, I went to incognito mode and my comment was now gone.
You know what else, I am not the first or last person to say this. I was a huge fan of his, until he pulled that.
I am still subbed, I still watch (it's how I came to be here) but he let me and many others down with his proclamations of being against such things only to go ahead and do it himself.
It's a facade.
Another time, I went to the trouble of timestamping one of his audiobook reads. He gave me a heart, then copied and pasted everything I typed out into his description but rather than give credit (I presume) he did it in a way as if he created this himself, by rearranging what I did, putting the timestamp after the title of each segment, which back then, didn't work at that time. The timestamp needed to be first, then the segment title.
How did I know he copied and pasted it? Well, I made two spelling errors that he didn't bother to correct. (Last time I checked they were still there). Am I bothered that he took that and without giving me credit? No, I did it to help him out and was pleased that he put it in the description.
When I pointed out, the error with the timestamps, again, only trying to help him, he removed the heart that he gave, then hid my comment.
Just because you've had positive interaction with him, doesn't mean that what I say here is false. I am not against the guy, I like him and have defended him against certain accusations & rumours but let's not pretend that he is as he portrays himself to be because he is not.

"Gamers don't have to be your audience" Yeah, Sony took that to heart with all the non-interactive movie games they produce.

(and ancient boomers I suppose)
You all WISH you had Sonys first party games, while nobody over here gives a F about Halo Shitfinite or Fable: GenderBender Edition or "we have Gran Turismo at home" Forza. Even your one single "big game" this year has already been mostly forgotten about. Seriously, you all seem to OBSESS over what Sony does (or doesn't do), while we don't think of you at all. (unless mockery counts?) Why do you think every time a Sony franchise finally hits Steam, it's a big deal and sells well? Let me guess: PC gamers are "too cinematic"! 🥺 Get real lol.....
The first time I noticed it, was 2009 with RE5. Where for some reason the publications weren’t defending the devs, like they normally would.
i dont agree with everything razorfist says, but i still respect him. mainly for going as far as he did to prove that micheal jackson didn't do what they said he did.
Agreed. Let it never be said Raz0rfist can't make a compelling argument. I suspect his idol, Cicero, would be proud.
Angry Joe clearly still has the ability to make good videos (like his roasts of the Madden franchise), but he lets politics get in the way too often. He thinks he knows more than he actually does, it's a shame honestly.
That's sad that no one from ScrewAttack stays in touch with Craig anymore. That was such a huge site/channel back in the day, and it looked like they were all bros. That's petty as hell.
Yeah it saddened me too. Though I didn’t know Craig brought back Sidescrollers. I always preferred Sidescrollers to Death Battle. So I’m happy to be subscribed again

Watched Angry Joe way back in 2011. Those were the days with Angry Beard, Delrith etc. When we were attacked in earnest by the hijacking brainwashed neo marxists in 2015, [remember we didnt start the culture war, we were attacked by the hijacking culture vandals] Angry Joe, for all his bluster, hid under a table.
Looking back however, the warning signs were there of Joe being a lamb in leather jacket, when Anita Sarkizien came on the scene and Joe BERATED AND TALKED DOWN on gamers who warned about her, gamers giving examples of Marvel, DC, IDW comics being hijacked in 2011/2012. Even itsagundam called Joe's white knight bs. When Joe's channel growth plateaued, Joe ventured out in other entertainment commentary, tv, streaming, movies...but his takes SUKs! GOT, RoP, movies, giving passive aggressive vibes to Alex who is more based and giga then him etc. Sigh. Sad to see Joe bend the knee to the SJW cult.
[Plus Joe thinks himself smarter then he really is, and whenever he rants on Ukraine/Russia immediately you can see he didnt took the trouble to study nuances of the geopolitics, history, culture, the misinformation and propaganda war. Some people like to talk out publicly even though they expose their ignorance on the subject. Sigh. Joe is not a shill, but he is definitely a disappointment, when we need strong men fighting the neo marxist fake geek hijack of geek culture. Really really like Joe back in 2010s but he turn out to be a SJW black pill. Sigh.]
100% facts, he let the wolf in the door then had to defend his poor decision's for years afterwards, never admitting fault and by never admitting wrong doing has gone even further into denial and extremist propaganda.
I remember there was a rumor about delrith being a pedo
It’s really sad. Hell Delrith try to strike out on his own. He got absolutely no support from angry Joe, and tried for a while but his channel didn’t grow…. About a week ago he put out a video saying he’s giving up content creation for RUclips for a while. He basically imply that Angry Joe and his group turned his back on Delrith.
@@Theautisticlibertarian Yeah shame. Remember Delrith fps plays, the guys' a legit mvp player. Before Joe's current passive aggressive vibes to Alex for being more Alpha then him, Joe gave passive aggressive vibes to Delrith for being handsdown a better gamer then him. Joe has some insecurities issues he need to work through. Fun Fact, in a video I remember ACG praised Delrith, he said he met Del back when ACG was a small channel and Del was part of AJ's crew. ACG said Del was a chill down-to-earth polite dude. [paraphrase going on memory].
Well Del is meant for better. He's actually smart and a legit gamer. For Joe..well...AZ from heelsvsbabyface, Shad from Shadiversity, itsagundam and many others dont have warm words for joe compared to ACG for Delrith.
Joe is a simpleton in that way, because he projects that criticizing Anita is "bashing on someone because they are a woman". He's not able to get past the fact that we actually have individual equality in society among rational individuals and that we can see past gender and race and criticize the merit of their arguments. You can tell this is the case because bad faith actions against you will result in calling you a racist, or a sexist, or a nazi. It's just how they roll.
I'm kinda at a point where finding out a friend is a lefty is a possible red flag. It sucks, but drama follows them around like a pet dog. Not saying I'd never be friends with a lefty, but I certainly wouldn't open up to them about anything for maybe 4 or 5 years.
Yeah, people don't wanna be friends with an ideology that spent their history trying to screw over and stop others from having rights. Who would have guessed?
In a way Gamergate was the warning shot of what was going to be the future of modern pop culture. Or rather modern anything. It has devolved into two factions warring against one another and refusing to calm down and sit down to talk about it. It is saddening how there are people out there who keep stoking the flames of this culture war.
Balkanization is a must

Balkanization
there is no sitting down and talking with the left. They are delusional and live in a different reality and refuse to hear any argument that goes against their cultish narrative.
If you don't name your gaming clan 'the kool kids klub' you should have your gamer card revoked.
Then micspam "Swiggity Swag." If the players start laughing/you aren't banned for hate speech, then you've found a game/server worth sticking around on.
To me, the culture wars kicked off when I went from rural poor Georgia to a rich community private University, and I was bullied relentlessly, back in 2007.
That made me question each and everyone single one of those guys and gals about who and what they were.
Plus, a friend of mine got into a he said she said one night stand that resulted in the school removing his scholarship and kicking from the place for 2 years, while no criminal investigation occurred. That also made me question so much.
In the end, I realized that so many lie about what they are publicly, and privately, and only open up to you if you are either an outsider, or one of them.
Something similar happened to me. Moved from rural Georgia to Atlanta. Got bullied relentlessly. Instead of being a bitch about it, I learned that the beliefs I held were actually wrong and stupid. You can learn and grow, you know.
Two spaces used to be politically neutral and were spaces where folks could come together, gaming and sports. Sports has been completely politicised and gaming is almost there.
The first time I noticed something was up with game journalism was in 2013 with the review scores for Gone Home. Players were absolutely baffled that a 20$ 1 hour game was getting 9/10s left and right.
Yeah, I felt the same too back then. 2013 was the year the infiltration was made apparent.
I didn’t realize Stuttering Craig was off doing his own thing. Definitely subscribing.
Welcome! Hope to see you around more!
Me neither. Good stuff.
Glad to see Craig is getting an audience back, a true OG of the online gaming scene. Been a G1 since 2007!
I will add this to the conversation. I learned VERY early on in life that if people think I SHOULDN'T be something, then I absolutely WILL be that something. I know RF doesn't care for thrash much but to quote a favorite song of mine by Sabbat- "You say I'm the Devil, then by Hell, the Devil I'll be."
Angry Joe has been political for years. It is why i unsubbed from him.
I never unsubbed, it's always funny to watch Joe vs the other guests or regulars. As you can see the divide and how arkward it is and how the other's have to pussy foot around joe.
Oh and the inevitable, "this is crap" after talking a show up and defending it from the "angry people online" ~oh the irony.
Stuttering Craig: I started this company. Do you know how much I sacrificed?!
Angry Joe lives in Austin he was always going to get more left and woke
Ahh the good old L.A in training.
Started watching Razor for politics and stayed for his movie content. The man literally never misses
Except when his predictions completely miss and he deletes those RUclips videos.
I think his taste in videogames is plain contrarian. If a game is popular i'm willing to bet money that he will hate it.
@@Svoorhout85 90% of the time, yes. He's specifically argued with me on Twitter saying that "mediocre" games are worse than terrible games. We know what he thinks mediocre is.
@@messiahmozgus His political takes are better then his gaming takes but he is entertaining regardless.
@@brendanroberts1310 he got the red wave completely wrong and deleted it.
Wow I'm sorry that you lost contact with the old screwattack guys. You guys had great chemistry. I love the Hey Let's Play series. I wish there was an easy way to rewatch them
you know that black pastor that shouts "beta !" Jesse Lee Peterson that's trhe definition of angry joe, he wants to please and be loved on social media so much he never says the truth, outside of political his takes on movies and games are as bad..he tried as hard as possible to the point of ridicule to not be too negative about things..so much that he started to believe it, I'm 100% confident in the fact that without Other Joe and Alex his show would have died long ago
Angry joe is upset that his leather jacket doesn’t fit like it used to.
A cow trying to wear leather.
That's some Buffalo Bill-level stuff right there.
I miss the days when content creators just had fun making videos and building communities. The mid to late 2000s will be sorely missed. Too much commercialization in this space. Everyone wants to be a star, and because of this status-obsessed generation, you have creators of varying fame backstabbing each other to get ahead
Honestly I felt like the shift happened when people tried to make the content their career. I feel like things were more chill when content creators had other jobs and were just having fun.
Big ups Razor 🙏🏼
Ever since Angry Joe brought that fat guy onto the show his content snowballed from bad to worse. He already had degraded since leaving Nostalgia Critic, having to do his own scripting and production values, the fat guy was just the final nail in the coffin for him. I left the Angry Army in 2019 and never looked back.
I used to love AJ Angry Reviews but they have chilled. I don't care about the news, and his political bias which he is entitled to has driven me away.
I used to watch angry joe and liked his reviews once upon a time but then something changed . He started pandering to that 1% and i lost all respect for him . I mean he defended she hulk need i say anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing says peek writing like writing the critics of a show into the show and saying "see we made fun of you first this time, check mate nazi bigot's."
You do know, people can like things that you don't like, right? Oh, I forgot. She Hulk was woke trash, therefore no one else can like it.
@LordLOC it is woke trash. Literally
@@LordLOClol
@@EntropyRisen I know, it's funny that our society has totally lost the ability to enjoy things objectively that others may not! LOL Fun. Thanks Obama.
Very recently, in, of all things, a shitposting page, I was called a bigot because I responded to a pro-trans post (I have nothing against anyone if they're a decent person) because I responded with 'OK?'. Nothing else. I hadn't seen any posts in this group about trans people (it's about Dune)and didn't understand why it had been posted. People who consider themselves 'culture revolutionaries' seem to be incredibly quick to any perceived slight,and that rubs a lot of people up the wrong way
Angry Joe was fine driving pedal to mettle in the gaming lane. Then he started swerving all over place in the movie lane. When it came to politics he was speeding into head on traffic. Thing is Joe has his foot on the gas, but he isn't the great driver he thinks he is out of his lane. How many movie dings and political car crashes has Joe had? I miss just good old Gamer Joe.
then he started speaking jive to fit in with his younger audience.
I like 2009 joe.
Its "pedal to metal". Referring to pushing the pedal all the way down to go full speed.
@@Svoorhout85 To test ones mettle. Using mettle was a play on words.
@@Svoorhout85 First time I saw that term was in the comments section of an entry for the site slipups back in 2000. The user made a post about beating Vileplume to death with a pipe.
Angry Joe is a sellout. He went from critical to bootlicker during D1.
He lost his integrity.
For the social credit score system to be adopted, behavioral changes first are implemented.
Poor Joe. We can only hope he one day at least drops the cringe
this is such a great interview with razorfist in my opinion. ;)
Even when I disagree with Razor politically I always respect how well he can make a point and explain his side. He's alright by me. Been a fan of his music content for a long time.
I forgot Angry Joe was a thing. Blocking channels from your feed ACTUALLY work. Thanks RUclips.
Angry Joe turned on JK Rowling for clout too. He is reviewing the damn Harry Potter game and he had to rant on her belief in biology.
Wait… what…? I was a huge PC gamer in the late 90s & early 2000s. There was only 2 things that mattered. 1, How good were you? 2, How does your wife put up with your gaming 24-7? Politics NEVER entered our thought 💭 process! I got hooked on Half-Life for a year or two and then I moved on to Counter Strike and then Counter Strike Source. I’m SHOCKED to hear politics is in the Gaming community now; that’s BS! I have to ask my 26-year-old son. Now, he’s really not into FPS (occasionally) but he’s a strategy gamer. But he’ll know what’s up.
One reason why your old friends don’t get back to you is you turned out to be right and they’d have to look you in the eye.
We need Jack Thompson to come back. Remember when we ALL were united in our hatred for that man and his lawsuits?
It is amazing that the pretty much as soon as Jack was made irrelevant there was a whole group of people ready to take his place using roughly the same arguments but from a different lense.
Political views on a review show are a sign that you exhausted all other options and need clout.
I remember when joe was about video games not politics. Those were the days
Razor first is a craftsman of language.
A+ in my book.
Craig your voice and humor MADE Screwattack. If you werent in a video ot was barely worth watching. I am very glad that you have stayed true to your principles
Is stopped watching Joe when he started attacking channels much smaller than him for having differing opinions.
I think all of the gaming magazines outside of whichever one Gamestop was pushing were in San Francisco and LA: Gamespot. EGM, IGN, Destructoid, etc. Game Informer was in the mid West or something.
Gamespot was in San Francisco
@@policesquad Literally what I said.
@@Sammo212 ah, yes, apologies, I misread that.
@@policesquad No worries, I could have also not written it like a goon :D
@@Sammo212 Hah, nice one. I do love self-depricating humour.
Been watching Razor since around 2015. The dude is spot on and educated on what he is talking about.
First of all, im not an american so Im not a "trump supporter" OR one of his "voter" (... in fact he is a clown in my eyes for many reasons) but the fact that people like "Angry Joe" can call trump supporters for morons, racist etc just tells me enough about him.
And thats the irony of the people who enter sidescrollers chat and ask them why they talk politics- let me take a wild guess, they never confronted Angry Joe about bringing up "trump" on his gaming channel or calling a portion of his audience for idiots, and racist for supporting him etc, but hey, I can understand that its hard to be honest and fair when you have an agenda yourself.
I assume Joe, as a "mexican", probably is offended that people dont want mexicans coming in masses sneaking in illegally in to USA - AND - there is probably some shame in that Mexico is a country people wanna flee from (... and I do feel sad for the mexicans because the country they made is so bad they dont wanna live there- I would never leave my own home country) and he can never talk about "why". So he lash out on "whitey" and Trump supporters instead. With all that said, I think he makes decent gaming videos. But he clearly is a very sensitive and a lefty man who loves Mexico above everything else and thus willing to call his audience for racist for not wanting mass migration from Mexico. What a shame.
Same here, I never endorsed Trump and I'm not American and I remember being in my High School's Cafeteria hearing all the Students talking about Trump winning the Election.
Trump's policies are amazing for Americans..it's that simple I don't care who he is or what he does as long as things are getting better for Americans and for America.
Joe famously went on a racist tirade on Twitch, back in 2016 when the Orange Man won. I have not subbed to him ever since.
He has charisma, very likeable but his stance on most things is just bizarre. He knows that the very people he sides with are eating away at gaming but still defends it.
On that stream, he was getting all his talking points from The YoungTurks, I am not even kidding. TYT would talk about something and shortly thereafter Joe would share the same take on his twitter feed as if it was his own original thought. I called him out for this and was blocked.
Trump was the best thing that happened to America. Gas was 1.80 in the free states, regs were being cut, unemployment was down for everyone, it was great. It really showed people that all politicians are absolutely not on our side
@@RezaQin I Agree, he actually cared about free speech.
Yeah, 99% of public/online arguments aren't about winning said arguments (i.e. convincing the other side that you are right, at least partially and getting them to concede the argued point), but about posturing to your stated side that you are as uncompromisingly strong on the issues as physically possible. Essentially they're campaigning for their side, even if in reality you're not even 100% on their side.
But once the conversation becomes private that all falls away and they become much more movable on the issues than they would be in public.
Angry Joe was wanting to play online with Obama and would enjoy it. Obama wanted to curb online gaming because of the addiction it was causing. Guess Joe never seen Obamas viewpoint...
Politics is the Great Divider. If folks are a bit too united in commonality for your liking, just introduce a little of that political brew into the mix, and all of the elements making up that otherwise harmonious assemblage will soon be at each other’s throats in virtually no time.
I saw the birth of the weird wokies in the Atheist movement, when all of sudden lectures went from Evolutionary Biology and Science to talking about women's rights.
Id say it was arround 2010 to Late 2013 When Video Games slowly got more Popular then movies. JUST Look at the Sales Numbers of GTA V on PS 3 within the first 15 Days.
That's why I only play games like FF7 remake and Skyrim and dont listen to guys like Angry Joe anymore. They are all entertaining but you cant play a modern western game set in a completely fictional world now without somebody injecting they're whole socio-political ideology into it.
Razorfist gets throttled hard by RUclips, I'm certain of it.
I knew that i hated joe from day 1, so i never subbed to him. He was a BLATANT RIP OFF of avgn. Glad i missed his downfall
He has no integrity!
I just realized, this is stuttering craig from when screw attack was good.
The ENTIRE entertainment sphere has been infested with activists who think people who want to escape from the everyday stresses of life want to hear their political and ideological beliefs
