Eric has gone full pander. Hired a couple of feminists to write this shit in the first place. The whole alt-culture "Bronze Age" space, including YouTube like G+G and Nerdrotic, are all so desperate to prove they're not racist misogynist bigots that they might as well be the woke mainstream at this point.
I do sincerely hope all their views come from soon-to-be-dead Boomers.
I know I'm banging on the same drum here, but every website, every search engine, every private chat or e-mail server might potentially be a host for pornographic content. These laws are a recipe for requiring ID to access the internet at all. This isn't about protecting children: it's about stripping you of your anonymity, and the right needs to stop encouraging it.
So far it has been pretty faithful to the book. They've obviously had to cut some stuff out, because even a 10-hour season of television is not enough to portray all of the material in a James Clavell doorstopper. But the scene with Mariko picking up the naginata and attacking Ishido's men is in the novel if I recall.
The only thing they have to combat their own irrelevance is the spectre of GamerGate. They're never going to win gamers back as an audience, and so their only potential source of revenue is left-wing outrage, and any callback to GG provides the motivation they think they need to attract that kind of traffic to their sites.
We just need them to feel emboldened or desperate enough that they start doing it en masse. Right now they're boiling the frog by only going after a few more vocal rightists, but if they do it to too many people at once, they'll only succeed in creating a parallel economy.
While I am in no way condoning this sort of vexatious ideological enforcement, I would still like to point out that this is an example of Rowling getting a taste of her own medicine
Red vs Blue, back in the day. That was them.
Reminder that a lot of this is being orchestrated by the biggest national banks in order to consolidate control over the financial sector.
They still might do that. SCOTUS just ruled that individual states don't have the authority to do it on their own. Congress or one of the Federal prosecutors may still try it.
And yet every time he tries to talk about legal issues or current events or anything else, there they all are in his chat, demanding he talk about the drama, whining and bitching when he doesn't address the drama, shrieking and wailing and even sending him money in order to force him to engage with the drama.
You can try and deflect from that all you want, but I'm not the one on NPC mode. I guess I'm just not terminally online enough to stoke my impotent anger by reading endless pissfit threads about all of the evil horrible very bad things Nick Rekieta did and then infesting his channel in order to insist he address my concerns. I don't even give him money. I just enjoy his content, and I'm sick of wading through kiwi-scented feces in his live chats when he's the one trying to talk about something else.
I said in my first comment that he's been making all of this worse by engaging with it. Doesn't change my assessment of the kiwifarms dramafags. They start these fires for fun, and then pretend it's not their fault the shit's burning. If you spend months on end flame-roasting a guy in his every comment section and live chat, you don't get to pretend you weren't asking for it when he lashes out.
He literally kept telling the guy not to harm himself.
I've seen some speculation that her campaign is being used to gather data on potentially reluctant republican voters or "Never-Trumpers" who might not vote in November. The idea is that their info could be used in potential fortification efforts.
People who actively cheer on the real or perceived destruction of semi-famous celebrities with whom they've never interacted and who've never done anything to them are dramafags.
You have no evidence to substantiate your allegations of alcoholism, so I'm going to go with the most logical conclusion, which is that Nick is a lightweight because he doesn't drink as much as everyone seems convinced he does.
Dramafags are never right, even when they are.
Whatever you say. He still makes the same enjoyable content he's always made, and he's still doing so from the same studio, which indicates he's living at home. He's just as insightful and articulate as he's ever been, which he showed on his stream with Shafer just the other day. Any behind-the-scenes drama you imagine is occurring beyond that is pure conjecture.
Inserting yourself into the personal lives of e-celebs in order to feed your own sense of moral superiority is the most beta-male faggotry imaginable. If you don't like his content, don't watch it. Continuing to bask in what you perceive to be his decline makes you no better than every lonely, unfucked white girl who ever bought a paparazzi magazine.
His streams still routinely get 6-figure view counts on Rumble, and those have gone up, not down.
And if he were really the alcoholic you insist he is, he wouldn't be getting trashed after three glasses of whiskey on those streams.
Those of us who've been fans of Nick since before Rittenhouse, and some of the audience who've come after, have always understood that his show is a night show. We're there for the fat jokes and dick jokes and for the drunken read-throughs of legal documents.
Despite the claims of internet autists and other cringetubers who are frankly jealous of his success, Rackets never tried to portray himself as a serious attorney, but a lot of the audience he gained during his trial coverage fall into the moralfag / tradcuck / boomercon / unemployed soap-opera bingeing housewife category, and have decided they disapprove of his drinking, swearing and sex jokes.
And because the tradcuck crowd, much like leftists, have never really understood the "if you don't like the content, just don't watch it" principle, this has led to constant moralistic, church-lady handwringing about his behavior, when it really hasn't changed much in the years since I started watching him.
He does talk a lot about his personal life, and he tries to be friends with literally everyone, including some people that the kiwifarms have a serious hate-boner for, like Ethan Ralph. And those things have created a situation where the farms have generated a huge thread about Nick full of completely unsubstantiated claims about his personal life, and this has got worse as it's become increasingly clear that almost none of what they say about him is true.
Since internet autists absolutely cannot tolerate being proved wrong, there's now a whole subset of cringetards actively rooting for Nick's marriage and family to fall apart, in spite of the fact that everything seems to be fine, and bombarding his chats and comment sections with bullshit drama whenever he tries to talk about anything else. He doesn't do himself any favors by engaging with them as often as he does, but it's understandably upsetting to a people-pleaser like Nick to have dozens of accounts in his comment sections actively cheering for his life to fall apart and trying to sabotage his family.

Lolwut?
SEALs have to be able to swim.
The precedent that would be set if individual states had the authority to make constitutional decisions that would inevitably determine policy for other states would completely undermine the power of SCOTUS.
Y u so madd bro?
I still watch and enjoy Gary and Ryan and Mauler and Drinker and some of the others, but that doesn't change my assessment.
I've watched these guys fall all over themselves white-knighting for every fake geek girl who slides into their chat, from Nina Infinity to Brittany Venti to the Canadian feminist power couple behind this pile-of-trash comic. Some are obviously worse than others for that kind of behavior, with Kinel at the based end of the spectrum and Az being a full-on simp.
And whether it's because Eric July is their friend or because they need him around to lend them credibility on the race thing (and frankly I think that's more the reason), they constantly overlook in his work the same poor quality and shitty storytelling that they rightly deride in mainstream entertainment.
