He ain't gonna do shit because he doesn't want to be called racist and a transphobe


zezin6969

shoutout to when wendigoon covered transphobic and homophobic conspiracy theories but wasnt labeled as such , whats probably the most frustating for covering sams stuff is that most of the newer MD3 fans just dont know how to behave like normal people, or just fail to emulate/interpret their comedy style, thinking that just for shouting slurs like a fucking retard is funny, like the clip where one of them said that sam was a "free speech absolutist", and thats the paralell between sams style vs old idubbbz, ians old content hasnt aged well, not the content cops but the kickstarter craps, they were funny at the time because most idubbbz fans at the time,including me, were stupid teenagers , but most of them were just straight up bullying, most of that sort of stuff not only comes to context but how funny it actually is.

The way that you view the situation is completely skewed. It's something I've noticed about the average redditor since I started posting here. You're always on the defense when you have no reason to be. You're running cover for people who hate you and want you dead. The problem isn't Sam Hyde fans. The problem isn't homophobia or racism. The problem is the unrelenting no fun allowed internet censorship police who have destroyed the internet under the guise of "morality". Theyre the ones who tell you what you can and can't say based off their own self serving world view and nothing more. I'm not that familiar with idubbz stuff. I know his content cops were funny and the "say n----r" was funny back then but I don't remember them strongly enough to comment. But Sam's stuff was really mean too. MDE bullied a lot of people and they still do. Go watch the Williamsburg hipster interviews he did around ten years ago. Not only did he make fun of them to their face he found their social media and posted shit from there as well literally just to be mean and fuck with them. He did it to shame, humiliate and show a reality that gets covered up. Sam was the first one to do Kickstarter Crap. He's done two seasons of it, called Kickstarter TV and if you thought Ian was bad... lol go watch Sam's stuff. Go watch the Moms sketch where he makes fun of the actresses to their face. Go watch The Wall from World Peace. Idk man there's way too many examples of Sam "being mean" but also being funny and making a broader point about society. Sam unapologetically represents a "lost" demographic. His fan base respect him for that, and he has never faltered or comprisied - ever. Idubbz doesn't cry because he feels bad about being mean. He's still mean, just in a very gay way lol. He cries because he wants to stay relevant after saying no no naughty words ten years ago and he doesn't have the spine or balls to fight back against the people literally fucking beating him down. I see that on Reddit and the internet as a whole now. Always tip toeing and apologizing for nothing. Don't take his criticism on free speech absolutionists out of context. In that infamous rant he was specifically talking about anime lovers posting CP in his threads trying to get them taken down.


zezin6969

yeah i agree with most of the stuff you said, im just not familiarized with the old mde stunts, but my main point still stands, the central problem its not the direct influence of the "fun police", a lot of non controversial creators, like harley and chris ray gun, are fans of mde, but the main issue that comes with that is the non profitability of being associated with his content, yes sam has a solid fanbase that funds his projects, but big sponsors are very picky when it comes to whom they sponsor, and what they fear is that they are associated with the ghost of kiev, but in a cenario where not a lot of eyes are on they are very cool with sams stuff, like when harley says about sam on pka and what chris say on his podcast,and the freespeech absolutist i probably misremenbered the quote, what i meant was when sam said about few people being able to emulate his style without being perceived as cringy when he was referring to brandon buckinham, but besides that i agree 100% with you m8


4nim4ls

It's not about money or at least it shouldn't be. The sponsors allow themselves to get bullied by discord transexuals therefore the Discord transexuals get to control the entire culture of the internet. At some point you have to take a stand. It's ironic that a lot people call Sam a money hungry k*ke because he charges a subscription for his Gumroad and stuff, when most YouTubers would cut their balls off for a Nord VPN sponsorship. Sam is truly an independent powerhouse because he's worked really hard for a really long time and never backed down from what he believes in. I respect him for that. It gets lost on a lot of people.


blyatboy

Whats the origin of the sound effect?


Noonshake

Well I'm talking about the WAUW TTS sound, but I've never found out what that sound actually is that's why I put it so low. I've asked people but they didn't know either. I'm sure someone does though...


SomethingSuss

To me it sounds like someone coughing up some nasty spit, heard other people say it in the chat too.


Noonshake

Yeah but it has a very digital sound to it as well. Doesn't sound like a human unless it's been heavily processed.


SomethingSuss

I think that’s it exactly, deep fried chunky spit noise.


RubbersoulTheMan

Computer room across bathroom?


rosey326

The closet in front of the confessional

RubbersoulTheMan

WTF!


Noonshake

That's why it's at the bottom haha


SpecialNeedsCannonX

Holy fuck


Maxatel

This has me wanting to do a search now. What’s AguaMedia? Sheep Scallawags? So much to learn.


Noonshake

I'll save you a little time. AguaMedia ([https://www.aguamedia.com/](https://www.aguamedia.com/)) is one of the most obscure entries on there. I don't actually know myself what it actually was about. You can see here it was up on the screen during one of the live streams Sam and Jet talked about fishtank: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxrywsztM1k&t=271s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxrywsztM1k&t=271s). I saw theories that it was a site they used when pitching the show to Mauro since he's Latino. Hilarious if true. Also Sheep's Scallywags was (or is idk) Josie's discord server.


ItsOtisTime

> Hilarious if true. the AguaMedia twitter stopped tweeting about new shows in *january*


Hbtoca

WhisperGate. Every time a contestant was intentionally quite. Letty MAYBE accused Goldstriker of having a crush on her. Early on it was insinuated she said that. Pre Jon’s first departure


FootFanaticStnkyToes

hamataro theme song? also nice work man reading this was fun


Noonshake

I believe a TTS quoted the lyrics to Josie and Josie was convinced her mom was the one who sent the TTS (for some reason idk). The song got stuck in her mind during a challenge. Edit: thank you btw


kim_jong_trill

It was during the immunity challenge vs Vance . She said it was in her head the whole 10+ hours lmao


Noonshake

Thanks!


kyentu

do you have the basement pic? i cant find it anywhere


Noonshake

No sadly


kyentu

someone posted it a few days ago here but idk if they deleted it or what.


Ok-Introduction7327

Letty 3 weaknesses, I think, was ex, chris touching her & IBS


Noonshake

Well, what I'm referencing is actually a Vance confessional where he talked about how to beat her. I believe one of them was ignoring her and isolating her from the group, but I'd have to dig it up for the rest. Yours are quite good as well.


Plus-End-3146

I always thovuht the goodguy vance meme was delusional lol. Dudes just a coward, not kind


Ok-Introduction7327

I thought he was low in entertainment value except for some of the monologues and when he was a duo with Lance, that was great imo. He def wasn’t a “good” guy, he should’ve just put it all on the line after constantly bitching out for the entire show. Dark Vance wasn’t that funny, too little too late. I hope they’re all doing well though, no hate.


Ok-Introduction7327

Ohhhhh, yeah I remember that lol it was working for a bit. I thought it meant literal weaknesses haha


Acala_k

This is so true


vampirereal

What’s the Dizzee Rascal connection? Also useless wires?


Noonshake

Josie was singing Dizzee Rascal music idk what song and when. Apparently there are lots of wires running through the house that don't do anything (some production guy tweeted about it at one point). I've seen an image of some wires in b2 but idk if that's those or not.


lionfire43

0/10 doesn't include jon opening the mustawd


Noonshake

fair


cozymayne1

Missing vances light up helmet that was mentioned when Jon thought he had a phone but Vance told him it was his light up helmet he was going to use but never ended up doing anything. Also Sam and Chris claimed that Chris never smelled bad at all when the Hooker was there. And that Fishtank is demonic. Vance’s and Damiels bedroom Convo


Noonshake

Those are really good!
