 So I'm starting my beef with boogie 2988 arc Not really like I have no real beef with boogie, but I watched a video that demon mama put out Shout out to demon mama by the way go watch her video about boogie. It was very interesting She kind of goes through the history of boogie like the downfall of boogie more specifically and some of the bad financial decisions that he made and The weird political takes that he had which were like overly centrist So centrist that like he's trying to appease Fascists while trying to present himself as somebody who's reasonable. It's just such a great video demon mama never misses So check that out But with that being said I watched demon mama's video and it kind of had me wondering What the fuck is boogie up to because I used to be an avid boogie 2988 fan like I watched Most of his videos. I was subscribed for years and I came for the gaming content I didn't even know about the Francis character like I saw one of his videos about a particular game like I can't remember Specifically, but I watched his gaming content and I really liked his gaming takes He's a nerd just like me and so you know, I like to hear people talk about games I'm subscribed to a lot of gaming channels spawnwave rgt dreamcast guy love them But Eventually he started to kind of do more of these rambling videos where he would just talk about himself and his life And you know, I think that that can be cathartic for other people if you're talking about mental health issues and your divorce Like I understand why there's a need for that But for me like I didn't really subscribe for that. I came for I Came for the gaming stuff and so when basically the proportion of videos was like mostly Videos about himself. That's when I checked out. It's like, okay, if there's not really any gaming videos You have like a Francis video every now and then but it's just mostly videos about yourself. I'm sorry, brother I can't be your psychiatrist. I can't I can't watch this anymore. So I unsubscribed a couple of years ago and Yeah, watch demon mama's video and I checked out his content and I've got to say I'm pleased to see That there's more videos about about gaming which which is encouraging But look at the turn that he's taken here So Super Mario Bros is neither woke or nor anti-woke so a very Predictably boogie take You know, you see where was it? There was one that really stood out to me, which is what we're gonna react to Hershey's candy bar canceled and boycotted. So he's not like leaning all in on this like SJW stuff. He's he's not necessarily trying to go down his anti SJW arc and become the next quartering but there's some videos in here where You just you have to You have to point it out and thank god damn. This is really sad. Yeah, that's a soy-facing too much soy-facing See this one you just inverted it's the same soy face, but you understand basically like the best way to characterize boogie is With this Anthony Fantano tweet, right? There's not a fence boogie won't sit on and proclaim. This is my opinion deal with it because that's literally what he does and After watching this video specifically the video about the Hershey's candy bar He's doing it still he's still doing the thing. Okay, so I wanted to play this video and react to it because it is so bad and just Embarrassing for a number of reasons and by the way, this is what Anthony Fantano was responding to the Steven Crowder Carlos Mazza situation remember when Steven Crowder Was harassing Carlos Mazza and Carlos Mazza was like hey, this is what's happening This was boogie stance fuck Steven Crowder fuck Fox media I don't care that much about their personal pissing contest I care about YouTube as a platform and thousands of innocent creators. So like when there is a particular issue Boogie will find a way to insert himself in this conversation needlessly so and just present us with an Unnecessary centrist take that nobody fucking asked for asked for so let's watch this video here of boogie responding to the Hershey's controversy and Yeah, it's only six minutes. So we're probably gonna watch all of it But this I watched this whole thing and it blew my mind Today's news is the nuclear war World War three People are arguing over a candy bar Okay boogie Just to be clear. Nobody's arguing over a candy bar conservatives as they usually do Flipped out because a trans woman was featured on a Hershey candy bar So he's already trying to both sides this but I mean you can't really put too much stock into that Okay International Woman's Day is coming up in like six days from the day I make this video and Hershey's which is a company that makes Literally chocolate flavored poison for humans to consume has decided that they want to get in on the act No, it's bad enough that we're talking about a Chocolate company using International Women's Day as a way to sell chocolate to people that should be enough to piss you off But he gets worse Hershey's also made this ad featuring a trans woman by the name of Faye Johnstone This is classic bait and do not think any other way They know exactly what they're doing at Hershey's or whichever Advertisement company they hired to get involved with this and people took the bait And we're gonna look at that and we're gonna make fun of them a little bit now. I think that these corporations oftentimes do things like this to kind of like Merit a reaction or try to get a reaction, right? But like he's got to understand that like saying Featuring a trans woman is inherently rage baiting That's not the problem of the company in this instance or the trans woman. That's the problem of the transphobes Red comment says watch his Hogwarts legacy video. Oh god, maybe we'll check it out after this But let's continue with this one. I can only imagine what he said about that. It's gonna be a Actually, I can't imagine it's probably listen. I'm gonna play it, but if you don't want to play it, that's fine So, uh, that's my opinion. It's a hot take But if you want to play the game played if you don't want to play it don't play it That's probably what he said, but anyways, but just remember this is all Designed to be outrage bait They don't give a shit if they hurt women or they hurt trans people in the process genuinely They don't give a fuck as usual. Okay, so I'm trying to remember because I watched this a week ago When he said, oh, they don't care if they hurt women or trans women. That's what it's like. Okay, you can see that like He doesn't necessarily want to be Transphobic seemingly but like he's so clumsy and like obtuse in the way that he discusses this that You just you can't not Be so taken aback by the way that he discusses this he likes these types of advertisement campaigns and you shouldn't I Leaning left. I don't like them because I feel like women and trans people are people Not a tool to be used to sell your new electric vehicle or your sugary drink or your chocolate flavored poison These are actual people with real social issues and these social issues should not be used to sell your terrible products Then there's people like this which is mind-boggling to me I guess they just don't like the trans people exist But he's like goodbye Hershey, I love you for many years. You brought a lot of happiness my sweet tooth now You've gone woke and this is unforgettable You'll never even receive another dollar from me or my family ever again I hope you go bake up for your deposit Look at how go what go broke his trending like this was posted one month ago. I mean The woke shit is just unending, but I digress The this is insane Taking a look at this guy's profile. I think his problem isn't that you know These types of ads are bad for women or bad for trans people He just doesn't like the fact that trans people and women exist He doesn't he doesn't want to Hershey's taking part in International Women's Day And I can't say that he's entirely wrong I want to know where the money's going because when you look at Hershey's own blog about this They say they're proud to recognize honor and uplift women and girls They are showcasing the power of women around the world And their global activation Activations include meaningful partnerships celebratory packaging and inspirational storytelling Where's the money going though? It's going into your pocket. Why is it going to help women? Is it going to save women's lives? Is it going to help women in oppressive countries? No, it's going back into your pocket so you can keep making people around the world fat This isn't me when I learn about capitalism for the first time and as usual This has got people on Twitter tweeting hashtag boycott Hershey's and as we all know that there probably be some people on the right who hate Woke-ism hate women who hate women in general on the right-hand side boycotting Hershey's But this is going to get a bunch of leftists to rush down to their local Walmart and buy a bunch of Hershey's in Support of that but no one said ever like everything is framed from this side's gonna do this then this side is gonna do that Boogie you you say you're a leftist right but just ask yourself this question Are you gonna rush out and buy something? Because a company was woke like you claim your leftist, right like most of us don't give a shit I don't base my purchases on a company that is or isn't woke because in a capitalist society There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but regardless, you know Let's let them continue there's a crap that it makes the culture war around women around trans people versus left versus right Worse they don't care as long as they're selling their garbage chocolate. It is garbage chocolate. That's a fat man Let me promise you I would rather put any other brand of chocolate in my face than the fucking Hershey's bar And if you're wondering whether or not a Hershey's knows they're doing damage, of course they do This is a company that uses child slaves to pick its chocolate So I have no no real big surprise. They're not exactly humanitarians. I do have to say and therefore Aren't conservatives dipshits for thinking that these companies care at all about morality or social causes He doesn't make that logical leap But now what he's gonna do is review some of the memes that he likes and you're gonna be incredibly shocked to learn That he finds right wing memes funny, but also left-wing memes funny, too It's It's unbelievable some of these memes are pretty fire though, even though I know is this a fire meme though They've been using the same fucking meme for like five years, and I'm sorry like this is Me just trying to live my life Evangelicals he's gonna come up with a fire left-wing meme, too Did from a right-handed account I as a leftist I agree man. I'm just trying to buy chocolate. I Was definitely going to wash by Hershey's to get something better though. Here's another good one I can excuse slavery, but I draw the line at trans people You can excuse slavery, but now I never defined the actual common You're so cloning on the left clang cloning on the right He's just got a you know as long as you're balancing equal then everybody's happy according to boogie But in this instance, I don't think that he realizes is that like your fence setting is so egregious and so Offensive that nobody's gonna be happy Shouldn't that Hershey's is using to sell their chocolate here Should trans women be used to promote international women's day Okay, he's gonna get to his thesis here at a moment, so he posed the thesis question Should trans women be used to promote women on the international day of women now Does anyone want to take a guess as to what his thesis statement is gonna be is he going to going to come out swinging? Saying trans women are women So of course when we're honoring women Trans women have to be included in that conversation or is he gonna come out on the right-hand side and say no, of course not like This is about cis women and trans women shouldn't be in you know, cis women spaces. Is he gonna go full turf? Well, the option is none of the above because this motherfucker is going to concoct a Position so centrist that I didn't even anticipate him saying this like I thought he would come out with a well You know if you if you support it by Hershey's if you don't don't But it's such an egregious like insufferable centrist position that it like almost blew my mind when I watch this But let's listen a few things to say about that. I don't think anybody's gonna like it I mean, this is the thing that got oh spicy take we got to go back to the Fantano meme There's not a fence boogie won't sit on and proclaim this is my opinion deal with it take it or leave it I'm gonna sit on this fence and everyone's gonna be offended, but it's so bold JK Rowling is so much trouble as well. So I don't know if I should offer my opinion here because I'm not a woman But I'm gonna offer it. So let's let's get canceled. I genuinely don't know Oh Honestly, that is the most centrist way you could respond to this. I don't know How this man is an Expert like level 99 at being a fucking centrist It is genuinely insane to me like it takes skill to be this much of a fan sitter And he's got that skill like he has a PhD in sitting on the fucking fence. Holy shit. I Don't know, you know I've seen people get canceled and I'm ready to get canceled. So what is my opinion? I don't know boogie Bro, this is why I stopped watching you. It's just the most milk toast banal shit ever But still offensive at the end of the day because again like where you're you can't equate two sides here, right? it goes back to the climate change debate right like to even suggest that there's a debate is a Dub for the right because there's 99.9 percent of scientists and then there's dipshits who are oftentimes funded by the fossil fuel industry like To even pretend as if these two sides are equal as egregious now when it comes to the trans issue Well, there's trans people who want to exist and there are trans folks who don't want them to exist who want to eradicate Transgenderism so to even try to carve out a space in the middle is deeply offensive because if you don't just automatically side with the people who want to exist I mean, it's kind of a default win for the bigots in this instance, right? Special day for trans women should trans women be celebrated on international women's day Should there even be an international women's day because we're all humans. I don't know I think it's an extremely complicated Topic I have a gut feeling that says maybe trans people deserve their own day And that's when we should celebrate them beautiful. Just everyone's happy, right? We can have fucking International women's day and an international trans women's day and nobody will be mad I can guarantee that like if you go back to like 2004 Boogie supported civil unions because he's like listen There are some people who want gay marriages and some people who don't want gay marriages But civil unions is the perfect compromise like holy shit, dude Just take a fucking stand and don't pretend like you're being bold if You are like sitting on the fucking fence I remember he got in a lot of trouble and demon on demon mama talked about this too in her video When he was on h3 podcast and this was after we already had marriage equality, but he's like look You know, I support gay marriage I have gay friends, but you know if the gay people just waited longer then we could have given them marriage It's like excuse me try to get it done right now. There's gonna be a huge backlash Okay, so let's let's try to do it in 20 years in 10 years and let's see we can avoid the backlash What the fuck boogie? But here's what I do know Hershey's should stay the fuck out of it. You're a chocolate company you dip shits and make so fucking brave I don't know what the answer is, but I know that Hershey's is bad Can we all just like applaud this man here? This is so brave so courageous the amount of Courage that it takes to have the stance of I don't know but Hershey's bad. I mean He must have like been really nervous to post this video. Holy shit Steak Hershey's knows that they are sowing the divide further They know they're pitting the left versus the right in invigorating bigots and invigorating people on the left and making everyone angry All for the purposes of selling their sub part disgusting chocolate bars Like lintz doesn't exist like Russell Stover's doesn't exist. You ain't even real chocolate Hershey's So that was hell of a way to start my day. I'm gonna go have some lunch and I probably will finish it off with not a Hershey's dessert Damn not because of the boycott not because of this controversy Just because it's shitty chocolate as always they Wow just This is a serious question has boogie ever like taken a political stance with zero caveats whatsoever Where it was like explicitly left leaning or right leaning like on anything. Has he ever done that?
