I don't say what I said with happiness, either. While Spoony has always been a bit of a drama queen, he's made up for it with top tier videos. Let's Play videos are harder than most people think, and he managed to carry hour or more videos at a time just by himself. And that wasn't even the main focus of his channel! His movie and video game reviews were clever, funny, and very informative.
I have him on my Twitter feed and all he does is complain and fight with his fans. He'll live tweet watching wrestling and it is clear he gets zero enjoyment out of it. He'll say stuff that he knows will instigate his fans and then acts all offended when people call him on his BS. It's really disappointing. It's like he's too good to say he simply doesn't like something.
Recently some fans told him to give Undertale a shot and he was dismissive of it. That doesn't bother me. Honestly, as much as I love the game, I know Spoony well enough after years of watching him (as far back as most of his site's material was his articles/pre TGWTG stuff) that Undertale is NOT for him. He wouldn't enjoy it at all.
What does bother me is how he chose to respond to his fans. Now, most normal people would say, "I understand this game is all the rage right now, but it's not for me. Thanks for the suggestion, though." What did he choose to do? Take a look at a screen shot or two, insult his fans, dismiss the game as "hipster garbage" (??????), and then sarcastically said something like, "I'm sure the game is great guys."
One of my buddies who would defend Spoony even if it turned out that he was somehow literally Hitler is done with him now. To me, that's absolutely insane and shows how far he has fallen and how his fans are really tired of his nonsense. I honestly can't understand how anyone from TGWTG crew can stand dealing with him. Maybe his internet bark is worse than his real life bite, I don't know.
