I remember just seeing the plagiarism video in my subscription box and putting it up on my TV without seeing the length. Hours later I was enthralled with a bag of popcorn and completely ignoring all my responsibilities that day.

Hell hath no wrath like hbomberguy's subscribers on upload day

Hey I'm straight, I never heard of this guy and honestly that sounds like way to long of a video to watch but if you fabulous bastards just tell me who I should be angry at I'm sure I can work it into the rotation.

I dont k ow why they felt the need to bring his sexuality into it to make a joke, especially since hes actually bisexual, not gay. But it has nothing to do with the content. He does make long videos and you do need some time to watch them, but i assure you they are worth it. Highly entertaining and interesting.

Anyway i watched the most recent one in 2-3 sittings. Around an hour or so for each. Treat them like episodes. There are "chapters" in the videos anyway so ymthey are broken up already.

I was actually wondering if they were saying he was lgbt or he just had a disproportionately gay fan base presumably because of his Leftist views.

[–] Theharpyeagle 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Little of both. He made quite a few references to being bi in the plagiarism video because the meat of it was about a very popular LGBTQ+ YouTuber. I know, still sounds dumb, but the internet being what it is, he probably felt somewhat pressured to mention it lest he be accused of being homophobic. Thankfully, most of said YouTuber's fans who had much to say about it didn't level too much ire at Hbomberguy for the callout.

Also the guy Hbomberguy was going after had dismissed criticism (and been supported by their fanbase) because the person doing the criticizing wasn't LGBTQ+.

The whole video is very conscious of "if you try to shoot the king, you better not miss", and holy shit he didn't just break out the atomics he showed all the math.

I'm straight too, but hbomberguy videos are enthralling. I encourage you to watch some, if not the 3 hour behemoths

[–] Zoomboingding 13 points 8 months ago

H. Bomberguy has video essays on a lot of stuff, like Fallout and RWBY. Definitely check out the Roblox Oof video, it's incredible

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

The one referenced in the above comment calls out Internet Historian, Illuminaughtii, and a couple other smaller youtubers i hadn’t heard of at the time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

His video about the video game Pathologic is kind of amazing. Lots of delicious egg.

Then he did a video about the history of the Roblox "oof" sound effect, which is mostly about this self-aggrandizing idiot.

Can't wait for the sequels gay greed, gay envy, gay sloth, gay gluttony and gay lust

[–] Repelle 8 points 8 months ago

For me gay envy and gay lust happen every time women

[–] thesilverpig 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For some reason I thought he was Bi

I miss Harris's game reviews but his recent stuff has been amazing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Gay lust is just any day of the week, I suppose. As is gay sloth

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is gay gluttony wedding cakes? Like, a shitton of wedding cakes?

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Isnt shitton two words? like "shit ton"? Or st least hyphenated. "Shit-ton"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Join the german side where you can just concatenate words.
It's one of the few features I miss in English (as well as better usability of parenthesis (spoken word, normalization of nesting), but I don't know any language that has those).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

English is indeed very inefficient and chaotic. We need a five-year plan to reform English spelling and grammar, as well as to get rid of useless letters like c, q and x.

[–] beebarfbadger 1 points 8 months ago

It's french. Le shitton.

[–] Alenalda 4 points 8 months ago

I'm still waiting for the sonic 2 video essay.

Is the joke his fans are gay? Or is he gay? Idk

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 2 points 8 months ago

He's Bisexual, is open about it. It's generally well know amongst his fans. But i think there is enough context in the joke to imply his sexuality. And if you have seen his most recent video you would know he completely destroys a few well-known youtubers for plagiarism.
