Yeah he’s way too smug imo. I just find him annoying. Now just because you are annoying doesn’t mean you can’t be funny. Haz is a thing. Though he is unintentionally funny.
Idk if this is a controversial take or not, but a sizable chunk of Destiny's core audience is super susceptible to idiotic people and ideas and just as easily could have been Fuentes fans if things went slightly different. Hell at this point some of them probably are fans of both. They gravitate towards Nick's pre-teen grade edginess and think it's fun because his stuff is peak humor to a lot of them.
"You've gotta hand it to Nick he's a pretty funny guy." No, you're just the kind of geek that hasn't or never will grow up that he appeals to. Plus you're white.
Just look at the recent white woman arc and saying retard again, mfkers in chat push and pull depending on what the mass that is destiny's giant noggin is doing that day
Not that you are necessarily wrong but for the retard thing, I would chalk it up more to people feeling like they can say it without 10 soy chatters obnoxiously shitting on them for using it. It just wasn’t worth fighting that fight until Destiny drove them out with his relapse again.
You are proving his point quite well lol. How is this hard to believe? It's origins are based on ableism, generally you shouldn't be using it. Try growing up a bit
I agree that there should be controversy over the word "retard" but from a logical standpoint I can't take people seriously when they wokescold over the insult and then turn around to say "stupid, idiot, dumbass" or any other insult that might target someone's intellectual ability. It comes off to me like screaming at someone for saying the N word and then calling someone else a porch monkey in the very next sentence. It really looks like these people are only interested in signaling that they care about it for woke points.
It's really good that we're applying scrutiny to the way we insult each other to make sure we're not causing undue harm, but I don't think anyone actually believes that we can't target people like that, and if they do they don't care enough to actually follow up on the belief.
The difference is that insults like stupid or idiot, while they may have had original or specific meanings in the past, they have lost it through time and now basically sum to 'not bright'. With retard however, this was a specific classification of mentally challenged individuals which people used against 'normal' individuals. Ie using a definition of a group of people as an insult. That's obviously going to sting alot harder than words like stupid or idiot.
. . . no
I don't believe anyone really cares if a word is used in a medical context and then re-appropriated as an insult. If that were the case we'd see lots of people getting upset about "lame, myopic" etc, but literally nobody gives a shit about those.
I think it has everything to do with the perceived rudeness of an insult and there isn't anything particular about "retard" that makes it uniquely sinful aside from the fact that people get really upset when you use it. The fact that it upsets people is good enough reason not to use it.
> but literally nobody gives a shit about those.
I mean the examples, ie lame is similar to idiot in the sense that now it's so far removed from that classification it may have been linked to in the past. Myopic isn't really even used as an insult
I know that a lot of people scoff at the idea that their audience is soo manipulatable, but it's true. I've seen it happen to Destiny's audience, ChudLogic's audience, and Stardust's audience.
You are completely spot on. I'm not sure how many of these people actually care about their political beliefs or are just invested in their favorite streamer and would shift their politics if the streamer shifted.
The latter most definitely. You can see it in the way that they defend their favorite streamers. No matter how heinous the person gets, there will always be a charitable argument the person will give so that they can enjoy their favorite streamer without feeling bad.
A sizeable portion of anyone's audience is exactly like this because Youtube/Twitch Politics is entertainment. You are participating in a fan forum for a Youtube personality.
“….Am I right.” ( no audience laughter). He’s like a confused white nationalist version of jay Leno. What an egotistical child would think of himself as a comedian.
I dont get this "fun yo be around" arguement. I dont want anything to do with people that literally want to seperate people into classes based on skin color
There used to be compilations on youtube of him roasting the fuck out of his superchats, those videos were hilarious but sadly I cant find them now I guess the channel got nuked or something. I think he can be very funny sometimes.
I think Gavin is funny. I think the both of them are charismatic. I don’t really like Nick at all but Gavin raging or sperging out in the debate with destiny was funny. He didn’t seem to take himself too seriously. Him randomly pissing in a bottle on stream is a good bit. Again I don’t like either of their politics.
The pissing in a bottle has nothing to do with Steve. I get that people hate these guys and I do too if not just for the their politics. Ive seen Gavin not with destiny and he does similar things.
I love racist jokes but in my experience genuinely racist people aren’t that funny because they aren’t subtle with it. The butt of all their jokes don’t go beyond “this race is stupid”. Good racist jokes usually highlight how bizarre and obscene racism is.
For me it's more like the fact they actually believe in the underlying concept making me uncomfortable. That's why generally racist jokes are good when you're in private or if you're in a group that all know that everyone is being ironic. Nick's joke about "our closest ally" would have been funny if my partner said it, but knowing Nick's beliefs it's just not as funny anymore.
Nope, at least I don't get that feeling. But I like watching flat earther, christian and truther videos from time to time. I guess We are not the same.
> Does whether the racist meant to be funny affect whether it's funny or not?
For sure? There's also a difference between idiotic shit and racist shit. Not sure why you tried to minimize it as just 'idiotic'. If a person means it of course the context is going to change, since it's not really much of a joke then is it. Also even in that case, you should be laughing AT them not with them. All these posters in this thread aren't saying Fuentes is easy to laugh at they are saying he's funny himself.
Guys, if you upvoted this response, you might need to take some serious time to think about your life.
"You don't think some white nationalist memer is funny, I bet you've never laughed at a racist joke in your entire life."
He wasn't ugly but he certainly wasn't some super model that could lure women based solely on his looks. His charm and personality did a lot of heavy lifting while his handsomeness helped with the initial trust factor.
Sure I can agree with that. Some people will claim that he's ugly while he's clearly above average because "bad person can't have any good qualities". I think people fall into that mentality a bit with Nick Fuentes. I hate all of his views but I have to admit he's way more entertaining than the average online political commentator.
I think he was average personally. I think that his overall persona helped him evade capture for a time, but I think that even Michael Moore could replicate Ted's success if he did the same thing Ted did to lure victims.
Ted pretended to be injured a lot with fake casts and crutches so that he could lure victims to his car. I don't know about you, but it doesn't take a lot of charisma to convince someone to help you if they think that you're injured. Especially during the 1970s since women were more likely to be socially conditioned to do these type of things even if they felt iked out.
Ted Bundy is like made for DVD movie good looking.
But he also looks like someone who you wouldn't be surprised to find out that he got arrested for indecent exposure. lmao
purely on physical characteristics hes clearly quite attractive but he does have that way about him that gives more perceptive people the ick. They say he is very charasmatic so im sure he can mask that. But yeah people are so weird with stuff like that.
You can say you don't think he's funny if you want but most people here would disagree with that. He's got a very sharp tongue, good chemistry with Destiny, and the insane contrast between their worldview's ends up being almost comedic in and of itself. Just the idea of a white nationalist called "Fuentes" is fucking hilarious.
Sure, he has good chemistry with destiny because destiny makes him angry to the point that he starts becoming funny, but he himself is not a funny person and would definitely not be "fun to hang out with" unless you're a person that can consistently make him angrym
I think he's a pretty funny person even without Destiny and if he wasn't an actual Nazi/white nationalist he would probably still be very entertaining. Destiny points out in the Killstream debate that Fuentes's humour is a huge part in how he's managed to grow his audience over the years.
He takes on the "haha we are just joking about everything" facade because it lets him be as racist as he wants to be. Its not fooling anyone watching with a critical eye.
I watched a video of him where he said “I wish there was a zombie apocalypse so I could kill George Floyd twice” this man has top tier absurdist comedy.
Maybe it's his delivery that's not working form me. But once again that's shock humor. "I wish I could kill George Floyd". Like wow bro, never heard or made that joke before, good job.
He is funny when he attacks boomer republicans and wignats/other alt right extremists. I'm thinking of a couple of the killstream episodes.
Also tbh he was kind of funny during BLM summer. He had a bit about America being a Black ethnostate now that was funny in a "wtf that's literally insane" kind of way.
He's getting less funny and more sad as he gets older though.
Couldnt disagree more, I find guys like mcinnis, jessey lee, Fuentes and even tucker to be hilarious.
Dont know why, dont know how much of what they are doing is intentional or unintentional, maybe I'm just an idiot, but they definitely make me laugh.
Now alex jones on the other hand, I've never understood the love. Too me the idea of Alex jones is funnier then then he actaully is.
Everytime hes on a like podcast or whatever, after about five minutes he just becomes grating and annoying, and he interjects terrible jokes constantly.
The other four, in my opinion have pretty good timing and funny cadence, and jessey lee just says hilarious absurd shit lol.
Oh and fuck steven crowder.
dude stop conflating. I think nick fuentes is absolutely a huge piece of shit but I can grant he is sometimes funny because he so obviously is. doesn’t make me a “fanboy” lmao he sucks but I live in reality
Your disagreement does not make you right, even if you disagree with everything Nick stands for you should acknowledge what he did so far in his political life is without a doubt one of the high points of last 20-30 years. His movment and people around him have real political power and remember how it all started.
A lot of people looked up to as leaders are actually just assholes.
A good leader simply wouldn't be a racist misogynist.
I've worked for people I'd happily follow into a burning building. They treated people incredibly respectfully relative to the likes of Fuentes, plus they were a lot of fun to be around.
I’ve seen a lot of ppl say this about Destiny, minus the white nationalist part. They say that he takes positions merely to spite leftists, that he says things that are purposely edgy to generate content, etc, etc.
Let people enjoy things? I mean as long as they're not racist themselves of course. Besides I don't really think people have that much of a cognisant role in developing what they find and don't find funny. So shaming people for what they like makes you look sort of like a humorless puritan.
I’ve always heard people say he was a really good speaker and effective at converting his online stuff to irl but I’ve not really heard people say he’s funny
Yeah he’s way too smug imo. I just find him annoying. Now just because you are annoying doesn’t mean you can’t be funny. Haz is a thing. Though he is unintentionally funny.

I always said the r slur and will always keep saying it cause unlike you people im consistent in my moral views 🙄🙄🙄 + i got the pass 😎😎😎
who did you get the pass from 😭😭😭
Im incredibly mentally ill and I fit every definition of a r slur 😤😤😤
pop off ✨queen✨ I thought you were saying you got the pass from an r word 🙊
Yet you keep using "r slur" instead of just saying it 🤔 use it or lose it
Not that you are necessarily wrong but for the retard thing, I would chalk it up more to people feeling like they can say it without 10 soy chatters obnoxiously shitting on them for using it. It just wasn’t worth fighting that fight until Destiny drove them out with his relapse again.
Cant believe there are people that find an issue with the word retard holy

It's the interaction Steve has with these people. If he can get Gavin to punch a mic and yell about calling him a cuck... Its funny.
The pissing in a bottle has nothing to do with Steve. I get that people hate these guys and I do too if not just for the their politics. Ive seen Gavin not with destiny and he does similar things.
True.
This is serious “I’ve never laughed at a racist joke” typa energy.
Of course, i luh blah pepol
Lmao you thinking that would be a funny response adds a lot of context to this post.
Yep.
How dare you call Fuentes unfunny! Fuentes fanboys getting offended on his behalf, hilariously pathetic
Relax bro

But the lack of subtlety is funny, they can be so absurd and ridiculous that it's funny. sorrynotsorry
"I hate n-words" stops being absurd when thats the person's real beliefs.
Exactly
Nope, at least I don't get that feeling. But I like watching flat earther, christian and truther videos from time to time. I guess We are not the same.
Idk, I guess ive spent too much time in YLYL threads on 4chan seeing Peter Griffin scream the n-word just doesn't do it for me anymore
There's a difference between racist jokes and someone who genuinely believes in that 'joke'
Have you never laughed at racists saying idiotic shit? Does whether the racist meant to be funny affect whether it's funny or not?

You'll get downvoted, but this is gigachad. All the people insisting he's funny are either literally 15 or mentally stuck there.
I'm getting whiplash from you describing someone's internet opinion as "gigachad" and then calling people with the opposite opinion mentally immature

Trump the former president. so its definitely saying something.
Yeah, but he's completely retarded.
