the reveal that he was literally in the top-left corner of the screen and the rest were green-screens was one of the best visual gags I’ve seen on youtube

maybe don’t subscribe to the person trying to mainstream alt-right figureheads like ben shapiro, and who has a history of trying to communicate the same principles on the sly

I’m totally cool with having an OP “hero” class that’s limited to just goofing off with, not everything in every online game has to fit squarely into the same super-balanced mold

this whole thing is like a funny cultural inverse of the boom that Plastic Love had last year due to youtube’s recommendation algorithms

most people also don’t post multiple times in the same comment field to passive-aggressively defend some washed-up youtuber desperate for attention after outing themselves as a compulsive liar

betting that this is square-enix saying “we didn’t want to iron out the particular legality of this with disney, so we’ll just collectively assume that if you upload the entirety of the Let It Go song to youtube, disney will hit you with a content strike”
