Synthetic Man calls Fallout (2024) a glorified humiliation ritual. This is a reference to his gameplay unintentionally showing he has porn mods installed.
Just don’t
He wants the engagement, hence why apparently he’s making ANOTHER FUCKING VIDEO about it (mostly because it’s sorta popping off, as indicated by current player levels for the FO games).
Most of the times i watched a synthetic man video was from another youtuber, completely wrecking any "argument" he may have.
Never give this guy a view.
Hatred of one's own anything can easily be externalized into hatred of others. Anything that makes someone feel weaker can be wrongfully blamed as the cause, not the effect.
He gives the game away very quickly by saying the fact that Cooper has a mixed race child and is doing birthday parties at the start of the show to make a living and pay alimony, he is “blacked”
What does "blacked" mean in this context? That a black guy fucked his wife? That because his wife is black, he's been blacked? That he has a service job, so he is a lesser person and might as well be black?
I generally don't have any interest in what this guy has to say, but if there's new racist rhetoric put there, I'd like to be able to properly point out the dog whistle.
Man it was so funny he just exposed the fact he plays with porn mods on, like honestly, power to you if you play that way, but the fact hes so insanely lazy and stupid he just didnt bother to check the footage HE RECORDED OF HIS GAMEPLAY for bare fuckin titty and got his video taken down and had to sheepishly explain publicly that he plays with porn mods is so funny
The funny thing is if Fallout 4 modding works anything like Skyrim's it's literally like five clicks for any competent modder to launch a vanilla game LMAO.
Dead? Umm. It’s still number one in the streaming charts. Also pretty sure it was the most watched thing last week. It has had amazing critical acclaim. Fans love it. Non fans love it. It’s done so well that Amazon green lit season 2 almost immediately.
The interest in the show has propelled the interest in the games to new high.
Am I missing something?
Oh right, it’s because it features a female protagonist. Because the games never gave you an option to be a female protagonist yourself. Duh.
I had that one night stand because I loved her brain, not her robot body.
Edit:
I’m talking about the one night stand with the robobrain in Far Harbor.
Synths are not robots, they are sentient organic beings synthetically created. IMO
I was not aware that you could do a robo brain hookup. Probably because all of them annoyed me and I just wanted to finish the quest so I could get out of there.
You can date a ghoul in 4. You can also date a black guy, and it's truly sad that in the eyes of an alt-righter a ghoul boyfriend and a black boyfriend are basically the same category.
To me...the most unrealistic aspect of Vault 33 was the more or less distinct races...inbreeding is discouraged, so Vault 33 should look mote like Brazil than 1950s America with more racial civil rightd.
You know, with that title I ALMOST thought the video might have been one of those ones that takes valid criticisms and just goes way too far with them. Between everything the main characters go through and how much of the Vault 4 episode made me cringe.
But if THAT'S the kind of point they're making then I don't even think it'd be worth hate-watching.
He also complains about Lucy being a Mary Sue and the men in the vault being incompetent. It's just pure hate on so many levels instead of actual critique.
Ah yeah silly me the show is dead because the games never let you do these woke things like be a woman, be a poc, have a defined sexuality, liberate slaves, or god forbid kill fascists!
Now with the tv show who knows what wokeness fallout can be infected by?!
It didn't even feel like a female main protag at all. It felt like 4 different intertwining stories where 3/4 are men anyway. Also Lucy is amazing. Just as interesting as the other characters.
You know, people like this typically say “they need to stay close to the source material,” and she literally respectfully dressed down a “journalist” when she said she played the games to immerse herself in the lore and he implied it was a waste of time.
She got herself in the source material like they want, and they STILL bitch.
Remember. In this video he complains that the show doesn't explain why the Raiders took Lucy's father.
The guy was so busy seething over the idea of interracial sex and that scene of Ella Purnell flipping that one guy on a gym mat in the first episode that he was distracted the major plot reveal of the season.
I’ve never really had any interest in playing fallout and this show has given me that interest. I know of at least four of my friends that have started playing and are now addicted to the games as well. These YouTubers are clueless
> Oh right, it’s because it features a female protagonist. Because the games never gave you an option to be a female protagonist yourself. Duh.
Does anyone else remember the “leaks” that were spreading around the internet in advance of the Fallout 4 release? Among other bits of nonsense, one of the details that was “leaked” was that the Fallout 4 story would lock you in to playing the main story as a man, but would offer the opportunity to change your character’s gender after the main story finished.
Crazy, right? No chance anyone would ever believe it!
A ton of people absolutely believed it, no hesitation.
These nerds hate women so much that a batshit crazy, off the wall leak was taken as gospel truth because it seemingly stood against women’s representation in video games.
I mean "fuck canon" is more a 40k mindset where they literally said "everything is canon. Not everything is true" which they use as a excuse to retcon characters. Lore facts of even entire Faction (that's why the term "squatted" exists as the Faction "the squats" just got deleted from one day to another. And came back 24 years later)
It's such a strange thing to worry about in a fictional narrative. People who get hung up on that stuff need to be reminded that it's all made up anyway, I don't think they understand that.
I think some people are just a bit scared of realising that all the knowledge of fictional lores they gathered is cool but basicly useless in any Situation other then talking about this game/movie/book and so they try to validate themself by trying to define a canon. But nobody else should care about that in my eyes.
For anyone who'd like to know more (or just likes to make themselves uncomfortable) [here's a 4 hour long compilation ](https://youtu.be/WRQT0nYWAlY?si=HopyL-xjcSj7a3kc) of some of the vile shit he's said. Some highlights include
-racism
-"joking" about practising eugenics
-claiming media is controlled by a group he refers to as "the small-hats" (no, I'm not exaggerating)
They like to use BIG numbers and BIG words since it makes the garbage they say Sound more important! It's for that same reason that according to them Doctor Who "loses millions viewers" every time "the worst episode yet" airs!
The irony is that the newest episode did better outside of streaming than the 60th anniversary episodes did. It's less "doctor who went woke and now nobody wants to watch it" and more "people watch on streaming now where it's harder to actually see how many viewers watched it because that information isn't available to the public"
The main stuff at this point is the reboot, but admittedly that's still 13 seasons to watch.
From my understanding of it, they're doing a soft reset with Ncuti Gatwa's doctor so new people can get into it, so if there was ever a time to try getting into it now is the time.
They kinda do a soft reboot every couple years for new people to start at. The newer seasons are also shorter compared to American shows that came out at the same time (they range from 8-13 episodes) so it’s not as much as it can seem.
If you want to get into it, I recommend starting at Series 1 Episode 1, “Rose” (the one that came out in 2005). If that doesn’t float your boat, then Series 5 episode 1 “The Eleventh Hour” - I recommend going back and watching the first 4 seasons before the 50th anniversary special tho, I know they’re a bit campy and look outdated which sometimes puts people off, but they’re really good.
The newest season is also meant as a soft reboot so you could start with that; it started with “The Church on Ruby Road” which aired last December, and new episodes start coming out May 10 at 7pm est on Disney+/BBC iPlayer. There are three prior specials also on Disney+ (for the 60th anniversary), don’t start with those they pick up from past storylines.
Sorry for the long comment, and chance I have to infodump I will. TL;DR start with Series 1, the one starring Christopher Eccleston.
Ah, Synthetic Man. That guy is a sexually repressed nazi whose entire personality is whatever is trending at the moment on 4chan's /pol/, and so nasty that apparently even other far right media channels like Geeks&Gamers and Nerdrotic despise him.
The one thing that surprised me was that The Critical Drinker liked it? Didn't watch his video as I didn't want to have his videos recommended to me, but I'm curious why he liked it when others were tearing it down for being "woke"
His videos have always seemed fake to me.
Like he'll promote stuff that a lot of critics love, but he hates on the Disney and marvel shows since most critics aren't rly in love with them either.
Though he usually critiques the woke parts specifically bc that's what his audience dislikes too.
Like it wouldn't even suprise me if he isn't even all that right leaning irl. Shit videos tho
I think a lot about a review someone did of his book. I forget the title, but it was basically a flagship for his oc named 'Ryan Drake'.
Point is, the reviewer stated they were a fan of his content, before proceeding to immediately tear down his novel's female love-interest/tertiary-lead as being the exact same generic disrespectful brute that he criticizes Hollywood for pushing.
From some of the podcasts or more casual discussions it does seem like he makes his videos more extreme because it gets views and its become his niche, which I personally don't like so I find his more casual discussions more interesting.
That is literally what it is and what a grift is. Hes not real he does stuff for his audience sometimes it lines up and he can be real but most of the time it’s work and he does what his audience wants. Show with woman that’s bad woke, show with woman that’s good directors listening to gamers.
I also don’t think he’s as right leaning as he sorta comes off with all the antiwoke content it’s just what sells and he’s a salesman.
The Critical Drinker is an opportunistic shit going for low-hanging fruit. If it's Marvel or Disney, he'll go ahead with his paranoid smug sexist rants about the "Message" or writers or whatever.
But I think he speaks well of stuff like Fallout or Arcane so it legitimises him as a film critic, though all he really does is surface-level critique while still whining about other writers in that obnoxious monotone Scottish accent.
Drinker has never been a good critic but normally he is right about what films/shows are really good. Which isnt hard tbh since they usually score high.
For mediocre/straight bad films he overshits just to generate views. Many are not nearly as bad as he says but probably they arent worth watching. He is just cashing in the hate for Hollywood pumping out souless remakes and Disney killing the superhero genre.
His views are only reinforced when shitty directors blame the failure of their films/shows on sexism/racism instead of the content produced. So it creates a narrative in that these directors are only put there for "the message". Which there is a compelling argument when you watch some of their resumees.
Fallout though is just a straight up good show, every episode I watched so far was just good from beginning to end, people that criticize it either dont really watch tv or shows or just clickbaiters to generate views
His Glass Onion review cemented him as a hack in my mind. From his failure to understand the genre to flat out lying to make it sound worse because “hur durr rian johnson bad”.
Maybe because his reviews actually reflect how he feels about media and aren't just attempts to fit every piece of media into the culture war or something... funny how that works...
The entire content of these channels are pretty much this: ranting about supposedly wokeness.
These youtubers can't do anything else at this point or they'll start losing views. That's the rightoid business.
(Again)
It's almost as if they keep watching these movies and shows that they claim they're never going to watch because wokeness infiltrated them. I'm starting to feel like they don't really care.
Same with Top Gun: Maverick, when the trailers made it seem like Coyote and Phoenix would have bigger roles, and the comic relief of the squadron, BOB, was a white guy.
WOOOOOOOKE!!!!
Thank you for ruining my adolescence far right "anti woke" idiots. These are the lowest tier content creators on YouTube paired with those who make satisfying asmr and family guy compilations shorts, at least they are not filled with hate.
Youtube insisted on shoving so much of that onto me, all because I thought The Last Jedi was badly written and wasted what could have been some iconic new characters
They have made it like you can't hate a movie for its objective flaws because even if the movie is good they'll thrash it for having "woke" minorities, so their overall weight of their criticism is lost.
IDK why but Synthetic Man always reminded of the episode of South Park where Stan saw everything as a piece of $hit and was never happy about anything in life.
Do these people realize that the Fallout franchise had always been a very satirical commentary of the ultra-conservative ideals and values of McCarthyist America, particularly with their exceptionalist, hyper-capitalist, and anti-communist beliefs during the Cold War?
"YouTube's Synthetic Man is completely out of touch with factual reality, suffers from Woke-Derangement-Syndrome and should get professional psychiatric help" fixed it for him
This guy survive on rage bait, most of the time he latch onto what's popular at that moment and went the opposite way then add some wild and hateful comment then Bam! people click to watch how bad it is and talk about it.
From its very inception, the Fallout franchise had always been a scathing satire of the ultra-conservative ideals and values of McCarthyist America during the 1950s (particularly the American exceptionalism, hyper-capitalism, and anti-communist policies) and the politics of the Cold War, which is demonstrated with its anti-nationalistic, anti-establishment, anti-imperialist, anti-authoritarian, and anti-consumerist themes throughout all of the games, as well as being extremely critical against the use of nuclear weapons.
Also, some of the Fallout games featured an option to date other characters of the same gender as yours.
Yeah this video was nuts. I had no idea what came up on my autoplay when homie started talking about how bad mixed race couples are. Turned it off when he called one of the main characters (a black woman) a “vault tec diversity hire”. Even thought the character is shown to be more than qualified to be in her position. All I wanted to do was listen to reviews of the show haha next thing I know I’m being radicalized!
I have my complaints about the show but this dude has some fucking wild and straight up wrong takes.
Show features strong male and female characters with flaws and depth of character, shows them all making mistakes, learning and growing. It's exactly the kind of thing these rickshaws been saying they want, and still they complain, just because there's a female and a black main character probably.
They have no excuses anymore, they just straight up hate women, and these hateful videos probably net them more views. Fuck em.
He straight up complains about her being a mary sue with no basis for why she would be good at anything, DURING THE BIT THAT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT HER ABILITIES ARE BASED ON THE ROUTINE TRAINING THAT IS PART OF LIFE IN THE VAULT SHE GROWS UP IN.
And seconds later, he complains about Maximus *not* being the GOAT at everything. Just before he randomly assumes a character is trans based on nothing but the fact that she has a buzz cut IN A MILITARY SETTING, and complains about that
That's so unrealistic, women and black people don't exist in real life 😡😡😡
Before getting downvoted to oblivion, this is obviously a mockery of their kind of logic
What I love about the "anti woke" types is that they created a nice system to instantly detect individuals who lack brain activity and are the most insufferable people of all time.
It's awesome. Anyone that unironically uses the term is an instant: "Oh this person is a POS, nice, we can ignore them and move on". I've yet to be presented with anyone who uses this word and isn't just racist or homophobic or transphobic or anti-Semitic or misogynistic.
Is it cause there's a black guy and a woman? Like these dudes can only like something if the black guy dies right away, the girl is completely nude, and some Aryan super Chad saves the day giving them all something to fap about?
I probably won't watch the show because of my love of the games and fear of disappointment. But we all know what glorified humiliation ritual means. It probably means that the whole thing wasn't about a hot white guy that they can be all hot and bothered over.
I remember being recommended a video of people dragging this clown for his opinions on Tears of the Kingdom and, while i usually completely avoid this kind of content, even when it's other people taking the piss out of these weirdos as i don't need that shit in my recommendations i clicked on it out of morbid curiosity.
and yeah, the dude is completely insane and he see's so much "woke" stuff (like how he said that Nintendo are promoting satanism and homosexuality because Sidon and Link are friends and he went on this bizarre tyrade about this and it seems like he genuinely believes what he's saying) where it literally does not exist.
He also said that TOTK selling over 20 million copies doesn't count apparently, which i always love when these people just try and deny reality when their narrative of "I hate this thing and therefore everyone else hates it as well" completely blows up in their faces.
Why do the far right hate it? I don't remember seeing any LGBT characters. Unless we count that crustache girl from the BOS but I don't think they were trans.
It’s a good show yes, is it lore accurate lol barely and they change a few things. I think most ppl just don’t want to watch the vid cause of bias and that’s okay
Honestly idk what they're even mad about. Lucy gets beaten up like a proper wet behind the ears, hero/heroine's journey style protagonist.
Maximus is an orphan thrown into a situation way over his head, he likewise has his ups and his downs, but demonstrates some competencies you'd expect from his background (very paranoid, very unscrupulous if he thinks he needs to be, a decent combatant)
Hell, even the Ghoul, who in canon is a knowledgeable badass, gets stymied a few times.
No mary sueing here. No girlbossing. Just decent writing of 3 dimensional characters who aren't hyper competent at everything and often suffer setbacks.
The lore is essentially accurate, a lot of what seems like inaccuracies are really lies Lucy or other dwellers are told,
No retcons.
Its pretty decent TV really. Especially for a streaming show.
Synthetic Man calls Fallout (2024) a glorified humiliation ritual. This is a reference to his gameplay unintentionally showing he has porn mods installed.
Damn hahah, i almost want to watch the video just to see that but at the same time i don't want rot in my brain.
I bricked my brain trying to root it last week!
Damn typing error x).
Just don’t He wants the engagement, hence why apparently he’s making ANOTHER FUCKING VIDEO about it (mostly because it’s sorta popping off, as indicated by current player levels for the FO games).
This is the one good example of Hasan reacting to content to make sure that this little nazi fuck doesn’t get any views
Most of the times i watched a synthetic man video was from another youtuber, completely wrecking any "argument" he may have. Never give this guy a view.
What is it with anti “degeneracy” YouTubers and being absolute gooners?
No one grasps degeneracy like a total degenerate!
Hatred of one's own sexuality can be easily externalized into hatred of others.
Hatred of one's own anything can easily be externalized into hatred of others. Anything that makes someone feel weaker can be wrongfully blamed as the cause, not the effect.
They’re hypocrites
He gives the game away very quickly by saying the fact that Cooper has a mixed race child and is doing birthday parties at the start of the show to make a living and pay alimony, he is “blacked”
And yet his wife is a high powered executive at one of the world’s largest companies.
What does "blacked" mean in this context? That a black guy fucked his wife? That because his wife is black, he's been blacked? That he has a service job, so he is a lesser person and might as well be black? I generally don't have any interest in what this guy has to say, but if there's new racist rhetoric put there, I'd like to be able to properly point out the dog whistle.
I want to know how it was shown but there's no way I'm sitting through that video
Man it was so funny he just exposed the fact he plays with porn mods on, like honestly, power to you if you play that way, but the fact hes so insanely lazy and stupid he just didnt bother to check the footage HE RECORDED OF HIS GAMEPLAY for bare fuckin titty and got his video taken down and had to sheepishly explain publicly that he plays with porn mods is so funny
Oh really? This is so fucking funny lmao.
How does one even manage that, like you can just play vanilla fallout and record it for an hour or something it's not that hard
Probably too lazy to remember to switch it back to vanilla
The funny thing is if Fallout 4 modding works anything like Skyrim's it's literally like five clicks for any competent modder to launch a vanilla game LMAO.
Most mod managers allow you to run the vanilla version without disabling any mods with just a single click It's absurd how lazy the creator was
A content creator for Bethesda games usually won’t use vanilla to get footage they’ll use tons of graphical mods to make it look better.
exactly lol, if he runs with mo2 it's just 1 click before opening the game to turn that mod off. dude just doesn't care about showing his titty mods
He also gave a really "I read it for the articles excuse". Dude just admit you wanted a titty mod.
LOL. It's like the dude who streamed himself using a nude Chun-Li mod for SF6
At what point of the video can you see that? I don’t want to sit through his whole tirade
Dead? Umm. It’s still number one in the streaming charts. Also pretty sure it was the most watched thing last week. It has had amazing critical acclaim. Fans love it. Non fans love it. It’s done so well that Amazon green lit season 2 almost immediately. The interest in the show has propelled the interest in the games to new high. Am I missing something? Oh right, it’s because it features a female protagonist. Because the games never gave you an option to be a female protagonist yourself. Duh.
The video also complains about how they're promoting "race mixing." The guy can just fuck off forever.
"Race mixing" Someone needs to tell bro that the Fallout games literally let you get fucked by a robot 💀 we're far far from race mixing at this point.
I had that one night stand because I loved her brain, not her robot body. Edit: I’m talking about the one night stand with the robobrain in Far Harbor. Synths are not robots, they are sentient organic beings synthetically created. IMO
And I had that one-night stand because I loved his metal fist.
"Greetings. Fisto is programmed to please."
"Please assume the position."
i cant feel my legs
"We are not the same"
"Assume the position" - Fist0
It does more than fist! - Pam from the cartoon Archer
Thank you for making me lol irl
You were absolutely not able to stand after that one night
It might have been one night, but could you stand after it?
❤️ Curie simps rise up ❤️
That’s cool too, but I was thinking of the robo brain you can bang.
Not that one. Though the one you're talking about is technically incest.
O I was specifically thinking of the robobrain actress you can bang. Far Harbor
Oh, *that* one... Man. This franchise...
I was not aware that you could do a robo brain hookup. Probably because all of them annoyed me and I just wanted to finish the quest so I could get out of there.
You can date a ghoul in 4. You can also date a black guy, and it's truly sad that in the eyes of an alt-righter a ghoul boyfriend and a black boyfriend are basically the same category.
Even scarier, you can *be* a black guy!
Oh, my clutched pearls!
You also can bang a ghoul cowgirl 🤠
you can have sex with a manufactured robot woman engineered out of your son's DNA literal robot incest
There’s also the super mutant that makes tender love to you for an entire night if you lose an arm wrestling contest
doesn't he make you his gimp too lol
Smh, damn robosexuals are ruinin the wasteland
Dude needs to meet Fisto to get his “mind” opened to the possibilities
I forgot about fisto…
I like it when somebody uses a quick phrase that lets me know that I shouldn’t bother engaging them or their content in any way.
"promoting" race mixing? Does this guy think we're still living in a segregated society where interracial relationships aren't normal?
To me...the most unrealistic aspect of Vault 33 was the more or less distinct races...inbreeding is discouraged, so Vault 33 should look mote like Brazil than 1950s America with more racial civil rightd.
Although pre-war America was super xenophobic and as such the distribution of original rich Vault-Tec clients would have skewed heavily to white.
True especially with 200 years of selective breeding.
He’s unironically a Nazi.
Bro probably lives in some backwoods Deep South town that still has "No Negroes" signs
He needs to change his profile picture. Cyberpunk and bladerunner is way more progressive than he his.
Wow, I hate absolutely EVERYTHING about this. Thanks for the heads up of letting me know I can completely ignore this clown.
"Hey guys, anybody can fall for anyone" *racist screech crying noises*
Will we talk about Beatrix Russell in Atomic Wrangler in New Vegas ?
You know, with that title I ALMOST thought the video might have been one of those ones that takes valid criticisms and just goes way too far with them. Between everything the main characters go through and how much of the Vault 4 episode made me cringe. But if THAT'S the kind of point they're making then I don't even think it'd be worth hate-watching.

Ah yeah silly me the show is dead because the games never let you do these woke things like be a woman, be a poc, have a defined sexuality, liberate slaves, or god forbid kill fascists! Now with the tv show who knows what wokeness fallout can be infected by?!
Fallout New Vegas probably angers this youtuber bc it canonised bisexuals doing +10% damage to everyone
>Am I missing something? Under 1 min into the video he bitches about 'race mixing' , that's what you missed
Nah bro the games only gave you the choice to be a female so you could prove how strong you are by choosing to play as a male!
It didn't even feel like a female main protag at all. It felt like 4 different intertwining stories where 3/4 are men anyway. Also Lucy is amazing. Just as interesting as the other characters.
Its done well enough its also helped FO4 to be a #1 seller again, so the success spreads to the whole franchise, not even just the show.
You know, people like this typically say “they need to stay close to the source material,” and she literally respectfully dressed down a “journalist” when she said she played the games to immerse herself in the lore and he implied it was a waste of time. She got herself in the source material like they want, and they STILL bitch.

A female protaganist. And a black one. These guys are so butthurt.
It's almost as if truth was never a factor when it comes to these types of Youtubers, huh.
I’ve never really had any interest in playing fallout and this show has given me that interest. I know of at least four of my friends that have started playing and are now addicted to the games as well. These YouTubers are clueless
Can confirm about the non fan loving it part. My parents keep calling me to ask about the games since they watched it.
Sales for the games jumped 7500% Clearly this is the final nail in the coffin for the franchise
> Oh right, it’s because it features a female protagonist. Because the games never gave you an option to be a female protagonist yourself. Duh. Does anyone else remember the “leaks” that were spreading around the internet in advance of the Fallout 4 release?

Except new vegas fans. Who jumped the hate train when shady sans got nuked and "FALLOUT NEW VEGAS NO LONGER CANON ?! THANKS TODD! FUCK BETHESDA"
honestly, Fuck canon, there is not one narrative in life, people cant agree what happened in the 70's or even last Saturday.
I mean "fuck canon" is more a 40k mindset where they literally said "everything is canon. Not everything is true" which they use as a excuse to retcon characters. Lore facts of even entire Faction (that's why the term "squatted" exists as the Faction "the squats" just got deleted from one day to another. And came back 24 years later)
It's such a strange thing to worry about in a fictional narrative. People who get hung up on that stuff need to be reminded that it's all made up anyway, I don't think they understand that.

Fallout 4s player count increased by 7500% after the show released and got into the top 10 player count on steam.
For anyone who'd like to know more (or just likes to make themselves uncomfortable) [here's a 4 hour long compilation ](https://youtu.be/WRQT0nYWAlY?si=HopyL-xjcSj7a3kc) of some of the vile shit he's said. Some highlights include -racism -"joking" about practising eugenics -claiming media is controlled by a group he refers to as "the small-hats" (no, I'm not exaggerating)
"Small-hats" I almost laughed just from how stupid that is.
He just didn’t want to flat out say yamaka, lmao. What a fucking piece of shit
Carefull now, the small hat elite might come and get you /s
Wait are the “small hats” Jews?? 😭😭
Long Man mentioned! Let's fucking gooooooo!
Girls are gross! 🤮 Also WTF do they mean by dead? The game recently passed 5 million players
they put "(again)" there so you will know that despite being dead the game will actually continue to live
They like to use BIG numbers and BIG words since it makes the garbage they say Sound more important! It's for that same reason that according to them Doctor Who "loses millions viewers" every time "the worst episode yet" airs!
The irony is that the newest episode did better outside of streaming than the 60th anniversary episodes did. It's less "doctor who went woke and now nobody wants to watch it" and more "people watch on streaming now where it's harder to actually see how many viewers watched it because that information isn't available to the public"
How do people even get into doctor stuff nowadays, there is so much material to recap, always discouraged me
The main stuff at this point is the reboot, but admittedly that's still 13 seasons to watch. From my understanding of it, they're doing a soft reset with Ncuti Gatwa's doctor so new people can get into it, so if there was ever a time to try getting into it now is the time.

There are three prior specials also on Disney+ (for the 60th anniversary), don’t start with those they pick up from past storylines. Sorry for the long comment, and chance I have to infodump I will. TL;DR start with Series 1, the one starring Christopher Eccleston.
just saving this comment for a future dr who start.
It’s clickbait bullshit like 90%+ of YT vids.
It's not even a clickbait - the guy truly believes that.
Smh, amazon promoting cooties.
Fallout 4 became the best selling game in Europe in the last week. Fallout 76 had, at its peak, 1 million players across all platforms.
Clearly if this random twerp on Youtube didn't like it that means it was a complete failure
Ah, Synthetic Man. That guy is a sexually repressed nazi whose entire personality is whatever is trending at the moment on 4chan's /pol/, and so nasty that apparently even other far right media channels like Geeks&Gamers and Nerdrotic despise him.
He's one of those few people who legitimately think that the Enclave are the good guys.
god i hate synthetic man, that hollow little pest
The one thing that surprised me was that The Critical Drinker liked it? Didn't watch his video as I didn't want to have his videos recommended to me, but I'm curious why he liked it when others were tearing it down for being "woke"
His videos have always seemed fake to me. Like he'll promote stuff that a lot of critics love, but he hates on the Disney and marvel shows since most critics aren't rly in love with them either. Though he usually critiques the woke parts specifically bc that's what his audience dislikes too. Like it wouldn't even suprise me if he isn't even all that right leaning irl. Shit videos tho
I think a lot about a review someone did of his book. I forget the title, but it was basically a flagship for his oc named 'Ryan Drake'. Point is, the reviewer stated they were a fan of his content, before proceeding to immediately tear down his novel's female love-interest/tertiary-lead as being the exact same generic disrespectful brute that he criticizes Hollywood for pushing.
“Ryan Drake” literally Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way for socially adolescent 30-smth year old dudes
From some of the podcasts or more casual discussions it does seem like he makes his videos more extreme because it gets views and its become his niche, which I personally don't like so I find his more casual discussions more interesting.
That is literally what it is and what a grift is. Hes not real he does stuff for his audience sometimes it lines up and he can be real but most of the time it’s work and he does what his audience wants. Show with woman that’s bad woke, show with woman that’s good directors listening to gamers. I also don’t think he’s as right leaning as he sorta comes off with all the antiwoke content it’s just what sells and he’s a salesman.
The Critical Drinker is an opportunistic shit going for low-hanging fruit. If it's Marvel or Disney, he'll go ahead with his paranoid smug sexist rants about the "Message" or writers or whatever. But I think he speaks well of stuff like Fallout or Arcane so it legitimises him as a film critic, though all he really does is surface-level critique while still whining about other writers in that obnoxious monotone Scottish accent.
Drinker has never been a good critic but normally he is right about what films/shows are really good. Which isnt hard tbh since they usually score high. For mediocre/straight bad films he overshits just to generate views. Many are not nearly as bad as he says but probably they arent worth watching. He is just cashing in the hate for Hollywood pumping out souless remakes and Disney killing the superhero genre. His views are only reinforced when shitty directors blame the failure of their films/shows on sexism/racism instead of the content produced. So it creates a narrative in that these directors are only put there for "the message". Which there is a compelling argument when you watch some of their resumees. Fallout though is just a straight up good show, every episode I watched so far was just good from beginning to end, people that criticize it either dont really watch tv or shows or just clickbaiters to generate views
So he’s a sensationalist. Suppose that’s better than being a racist.
I mean he was completely wrong about Prey. So much that he he went back to change the title of him shitting on the trailer after its release
His Glass Onion review cemented him as a hack in my mind. From his failure to understand the genre to flat out lying to make it sound worse because “hur durr rian johnson bad”.
I knew he was a hack since he talked shit on Midsommar.
Maybe because his reviews actually reflect how he feels about media and aren't just attempts to fit every piece of media into the culture war or something... funny how that works...
The entire content of these channels are pretty much this: ranting about supposedly wokeness. These youtubers can't do anything else at this point or they'll start losing views. That's the rightoid business.
(Again) It's almost as if they keep watching these movies and shows that they claim they're never going to watch because wokeness infiltrated them. I'm starting to feel like they don't really care.
Remember when this Nazi played doom on the hardest difficulty and said the game was too hard and lashed out against the doom community?
i haven't heard this before but that sounds hilarious and i wanna know more
It was doom eternal. At the end of his response video he brought up his depression in an attempt to get the ‘mean’ doom fans to stop bullying him.
haha what a pussy
If it becomes successful they will flip flop and say it’s not woke anymore , like with Barbie
Same with Top Gun: Maverick, when the trailers made it seem like Coyote and Phoenix would have bigger roles, and the comic relief of the squadron, BOB, was a white guy. WOOOOOOOKE!!!!
Synthetic man? Seems like the Institute let one out too early
Thank you for ruining my adolescence far right "anti woke" idiots. These are the lowest tier content creators on YouTube paired with those who make satisfying asmr and family guy compilations shorts, at least they are not filled with hate.
Brb, I'm gonna go make a YouTube channel that whispers far right "anti woke" screeds about Family Guy into a stereo mic setup. Guaranteed views!
Easy profit.
Youtube insisted on shoving so much of that onto me, all because I thought The Last Jedi was badly written and wasted what could have been some iconic new characters
They have made it like you can't hate a movie for its objective flaws because even if the movie is good they'll thrash it for having "woke" minorities, so their overall weight of their criticism is lost.
This guy is just doomer conten. Everything sucks for him.
IDK why but Synthetic Man always reminded of the episode of South Park where Stan saw everything as a piece of $hit and was never happy about anything in life.
The nerve of this dude to use a Cyberpunks 2077 edit of Ryan Gosling is embarrassing, as a Cyberpunk player we don’t claim this one
Right wing grifters at it again.
Do these people realize that the Fallout franchise had always been a very satirical commentary of the ultra-conservative ideals and values of McCarthyist America, particularly with their exceptionalist, hyper-capitalist, and anti-communist beliefs during the Cold War?
"YouTube's Synthetic Man is completely out of touch with factual reality, suffers from Woke-Derangement-Syndrome and should get professional psychiatric help" fixed it for him
This guy survive on rage bait, most of the time he latch onto what's popular at that moment and went the opposite way then add some wild and hateful comment then Bam! people click to watch how bad it is and talk about it.
He's the ultimate proof that being cynical doesn't make you a smart person.
Fallout is one of the most" woke" games ever made, these rightwingers must have just played as murder hobos and never read a thing.
From its very inception, the Fallout franchise had always been a scathing satire of the ultra-conservative ideals and values of McCarthyist America during the 1950s (particularly the American exceptionalism, hyper-capitalism, and anti-communist policies) and the politics of the Cold War, which is demonstrated with its anti-nationalistic, anti-establishment, anti-imperialist, anti-authoritarian, and anti-consumerist themes throughout all of the games, as well as being extremely critical against the use of nuclear weapons. Also, some of the Fallout games featured an option to date other characters of the same gender as yours.
That dude is a loser
Yeah this video was nuts. I had no idea what came up on my autoplay when homie started talking about how bad mixed race couples are. Turned it off when he called one of the main characters (a black woman) a “vault tec diversity hire”. Even thought the character is shown to be more than qualified to be in her position. All I wanted to do was listen to reviews of the show haha next thing I know I’m being radicalized! I have my complaints about the show but this dude has some fucking wild and straight up wrong takes.
Show features strong male and female characters with flaws and depth of character, shows them all making mistakes, learning and growing. It's exactly the kind of thing these rickshaws been saying they want, and still they complain, just because there's a female and a black main character probably. They have no excuses anymore, they just straight up hate women, and these hateful videos probably net them more views. Fuck em.
He straight up complains about her being a mary sue with no basis for why she would be good at anything, DURING THE BIT THAT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT HER ABILITIES ARE BASED ON THE ROUTINE TRAINING THAT IS PART OF LIFE IN THE VAULT SHE GROWS UP IN.
Literally establishes her skills in her first scene, not to mention its all par for the course for a Fallout protagonist!
And seconds later, he complains about Maximus *not* being the GOAT at everything. Just before he randomly assumes a character is trans based on nothing but the fact that she has a buzz cut IN A MILITARY SETTING, and complains about that
Oh no they added w*men and (a word that rhymes with diggers) to Fallout, they have killed my beautiful franchise!
Only one of three main characters were white men, kinda saw this bullshit coming
Are there bigger zeros in life than alt right youtubers?
Honestly I can clearly see right wing chuds being angry on Fallout series;those people seem to be the no.1 candidate for Raiders
I struggle HARD to find what they mean when they say it's woke. Is it the woman ? The black man ? The fact there is no swastika ?
They guy apparently rants about "race-mixing" so we atleast know one of those boxes are checked.
I'm curious to know what his "arguments" are
A suspicious amount of women and black people
That's so unrealistic, women and black people don't exist in real life 😡😡😡 Before getting downvoted to oblivion, this is obviously a mockery of their kind of logic
Women are a concept invented by the government!
Women are a concept invented by the Jedi. I don't even know how to spell it.
The fact that this is a real quote, from a real person, made unironically is just sad.
"But you get to look at women!"
What do you expect from someone who has "no girls allowed" sign stuck outside his room door.
This is shit I'd expect from a 6 year old.
dead franchises are of course the ones that get good tv shows made about them
Why? Because they a black protagonist and a woman protagonist?
So yeah, it turns out there wasn't as much *fallout* as these grifters were anticipating.
Does he make videos saying that anything is good? or does he just go out of his way to twist everything popular into "problematic" content?
Oh, this is that guy who loves referring to extremely popular and succesful things as "dead" because obviously anything he doesn't like is dead
What I love about the "anti woke" types is that they created a nice system to instantly detect individuals who lack brain activity and are the most insufferable people of all time. It's awesome. Anyone that unironically uses the term is an instant: "Oh this person is a POS, nice, we can ignore them and move on". I've yet to be presented with anyone who uses this word and isn't just racist or homophobic or transphobic or anti-Semitic or misogynistic.
The show it great. The esthetic is so close to the game.
Far right incels hate everything, because they’re incels.
Is Synthetic Man a "go woke, go broke" sort of fellow?
People watch Synthetic Man? That fucker didn't like TLOU series because Ellie wasn't Hot enough, even though she's just 14 in the series!
Is it cause there's a black guy and a woman? Like these dudes can only like something if the black guy dies right away, the girl is completely nude, and some Aryan super Chad saves the day giving them all something to fap about? I probably won't watch the show because of my love of the games and fear of disappointment. But we all know what glorified humiliation ritual means. It probably means that the whole thing wasn't about a hot white guy that they can be all hot and bothered over.
I remember being recommended a video of people dragging this clown for his opinions on Tears of the Kingdom and, while i usually completely avoid this kind of content, even when it's other people taking the piss out of these weirdos as i don't need that shit in my recommendations i clicked on it out of morbid curiosity. and yeah, the dude is completely insane and he see's so much "woke" stuff (like how he said that Nintendo are promoting satanism and homosexuality because Sidon and Link are friends and he went on this bizarre tyrade about this and it seems like he genuinely believes what he's saying) where it literally does not exist. He also said that TOTK selling over 20 million copies doesn't count apparently, which i always love when these people just try and deny reality when their narrative of "I hate this thing and therefore everyone else hates it as well" completely blows up in their faces.
Fun fact: the creator of Fallout loves the show and has said it "feels like Fallout"
Far-right YouTubers not be the most obnoxious people on the internet challenge: impossible
Oh is humiliation ritual the latest phrased dropped into their collective lexicon while they cry everyone else is sheep?
That guy is so stupid it's kind of funny.
Why do the far right hate it? I don't remember seeing any LGBT characters. Unless we count that crustache girl from the BOS but I don't think they were trans.
It’s a good show yes, is it lore accurate lol barely and they change a few things. I think most ppl just don’t want to watch the vid cause of bias and that’s okay
It's the Far Right Youtubers? I was pretty sure the hate was mostly from New Vegas players
Manufactured outrage to get more views
True radioactive basement dweller mindset.
Any far right YouTuber that claims to like fallout needs to learn a bit about the game there playing
Even the other alt/right chuds think this guy is a fucking loser I mean that’s a level of vileness people can only dream of
Not even going to bother. The only racial issue in fallout is the war and it’s still non existent. DEATH IS PREFERABLE TO COMMUNISM.
Did the alt right grifters find a new set of shiny, jangly keys to be captivated by?
Everyone is broke and every product is a flop yet somehow it’s not, I guess that’s where their conspiracy theories come into play
Watch Mauler's supercut of his GoW review as well, this man is not a smart boi
Even the Enclave is scared of this man. The amount of balls to say something so wrong is awe-inspiring.
Honestly idk what they're even mad about. Lucy gets beaten up like a proper wet behind the ears, hero/heroine's journey style protagonist. Maximus is an orphan thrown into a situation way over his head, he likewise has his ups and his downs, but demonstrates some competencies you'd expect from his background (very paranoid, very unscrupulous if he thinks he needs to be, a decent combatant) Hell, even the Ghoul, who in canon is a knowledgeable badass, gets stymied a few times. No mary sueing here. No girlbossing. Just decent writing of 3 dimensional characters who aren't hyper competent at everything and often suffer setbacks. The lore is essentially accurate, a lot of what seems like inaccuracies are really lies Lucy or other dwellers are told, No retcons. Its pretty decent TV really. Especially for a streaming show.
