me_irl, whenever Hbomberguy or Jenny Nicholson publish a video essay about someone or something I had never heard of

I loooooove the meltdown the Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser twitter/subreddit had after Jenny's "Star Wars Hotel" video, especially the segment where she predicted every type of comment she was going to get (and she was 100% bang on). It was the first or second time since the blackout that I had actually spent more than a minute on Reddit scanning for the answer of my Google query.

Thank you for spending $6000USD and suffering for our entertainment, Jenny o7

Holy shit it's still going on

Someone called Jenny's content brand as "extremely mean spirited"

What the fuck

It's soooo funny, and really exposes how much of the social media landscape is people discussing content they never interact with or attempt to consume, even within their own niche. 5 seconds of scrolling through Jenny's Youtube feed could tell you exactly how "mean spirited" she is.

The Disney parks subreddit was much more level headed discussing her video's criticisms, which surprised me.

Literally claimed to watch her content and thinks she makes bad faith arguments when called out

It's funny as fuck tbh

Oooh, I wonder if it's the dregs of those weirdos that harassed her for saying that The Last Jedi "was ok" (which it honestly, it would be if it was a regular space heist movie or something. It's just a god-awful Star Wars movie specifically).

Reading that subreddit has been my husband's latest pastime, he loves reading people be angry for some reason, and I guess the battlenet forums weren't amusing enough anymore!

I just feel so bad for Jenny, who was so clearly trying to hard to make things work and at every turn Disney was just "fuck yooouuuuu"

WAIT the battle.net forums are still up???

Thank you so much for this revelation, I know EXACTLY how I'm spending my Friday (reading posts coping about Blizzard's p2w meta). Your husband and I are cut from the same cloth.

Hbomberguy is so good. I've seen his oof video 3 times and just started my third re-watch of his plagiarism video. I was browsing through his older videos and saw that he had an older plagiarism video as wellnot as long and worth the watch too.

Thank you for turning me on to a new deep dive YouTuber. I love Jenny Nicoleson, I have high hopes for Hbomberguy.

Oooooh boy, you're in for something. Amazing guy. I rewatch his Pathologic video bimonthly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Can't wait. ☺

I discovered Jenny's channel last week and I am 4 videos in, the 4 hour Star Wars hotel video was a work of art

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I really liked the Bronies one.

The ‘church musical extended universe’ one is top notch in my book
