Michael's screaming is also (usually) more genuine. A large part of what's offputting about many LPers is that their overreactions are so obviously faked. Occasionally Michael has to do that too, but most of the time he is legitimately pissed off at the game he's playing.Kurt Cristal said:
P.S. Thanks
Incidentally, I thought of another YouTuber (who is nothing like Pewdiepie), Northernlion, when I saw the title, since "Let's Look at" is the name of one of his series of videos.
Also, it's become apparent that Atlus fans don't particular like PDP either...
Can't saw I blame them, to be honest.

I'm sort of glad I can't imagine the guy screeching. I've never seen more than a minute of any of his videos. Something about his accent and his apparent comfort with English result in a sort of slurred speech that I find both difficult to understand and slightly grating. Nothing against the guy, it just makes his videos a chore to watch for me.
Good to know he's at least somewhat genuine with his reactions, though. Staged reactions are one of my biggest pet peeves with LPers. I even prefer the monotone ones to the actors.

Just wait until his obsessed fans crawl out from under the bridge that spawned them and threaten to rape and kill you for disliking Pewdiepie.
Just wait, it'll happen.

He is popular because he comes across as a really nice, really sincere person. That coupled with the fact that the biggest Youtube audience is gamers and despite the lack of sophistication of his humor he is the most subscribed Youtuber. I am subscribed, I don't watch a ton of the videos he uploads, but he can be entertaining sometimes.Daystar Clarion said:
This reminds me of that shitstorm that occurred over the SmoshGames thing. I never heard what came out of it.
Even so, did some recent event warrant a stab at Pewdiepie, or are you having a slow week?

The Secret of the success of Pewdiepie by The Game Theorist
There's nothing really wrong with Pewdiepie himself, if you like him, good for you, if you don't like him good for you too.
I'm also subscribed to Pewdiepie and only watch videos/series that I want to watch. He's just simply entertaining and easy to follow.
My real problem with him is that he doesn't play many Scary games anymore, with only one new Series that just got uploaded to his channel which is "Deadlight".

Okay, I'm the kind of sick degenerate that thinks rape jokes can be funny. But fucking hell, every other word out of his mouth is RAPE this and RAPE that. I used to think PDP was just annoying and banal; now I see he's actually pretty fucking scummy.Under_your_bed said:
Can we like, start a crowdfunding campaign to send Slowbeef, Diabetus, and Lowtax to Europe to track this fucker down and beat him half to death, catch it on video, and get Research Indicates to do commentary on it?
Wow, this is pretty bad.Under_your_bed said:
"Lets play" videos aren't my thing so I've never seen PewDiePie before, in fact, all I knew about him was that he has a lot of annoying fans and a lot of equally annoying haters -- Neither of whom will shut up about the guy. After watching this video I am devastatingly shocked at how many fans he has. The screeching is bad enough but it genuinely blows my mind how he can so casually joke about rape in this decade and get away with it. Man, if I thought you even insinuate rape in a humorous way you're going to get crucified, or does that only go for Microsoft at E3 conferences?
The best part is that they already have.Brian Tams said:
The second-best part is that the most insulting thing implied here is that PewDiePie *gasp* screams a lot.
FFS, even his fans have to acknowledge that he screams a lot.
Anyway, from what I know of him outside of his channel, he actually seems like a genuinely cool guy. But his channel... not so much. I'm not big on Let's Plays to begin with, and I just can't stand how he acts during his.
And a large portion of his fanbase is highly worrying.
I don't have an opinion on Pewdipie, but the comic really didn't bring the funnies for me today.
Ditto here. I don't really like him- his voice and mannerisms grate on my nerves, seriously- but I don't hold some sort of grudge against him simply for being famous; it's not like he's somehow causing other videos I do like to not exist anymore or something. Plus I do have a basic level of respect for him for using his fame to promote charity.Mahorfeus said:
I also don't like blaming him for what his fans do. There's a couple other Let's Players I do follow whose fans can be just as bad (a contingent of Markiplier's fans are like this) and will try to stir up hate even though the LPers themselves are actually friends. When your subscribers literally number in the millions, there's not much you can really do to rein in the outliers.
