Although I don’t want this to turn into the “MisAnthro Pony Rant Thread”, I may as well throw in my two cents on the guy while we’re currently talking about him.
Honestly, I’m very disappointed in how he’s been acting over the past few years. I’ve been following him ever since he first started his YouTube channel, and back then he did a series of rant videos on various members of the brony analysis community. Many people felt he was being too harsh on them, and after getting backlash for it, he apologized profusely and promised to become a better person.
It seems he ultimately learned nothing from that experience though, because he’s since jumped on the “overly-long video essay style rants about why this thing sucks and you’re an idiot if you disagree” bandwagon that’s become (in)famous on YouTube in recent years, and he’s easily one of the most vitriolic people in that group. He’s done rants on The Last Jedi, The Lion King remake, the Grogar twist in The Ending of the End, The Last of Us Part II, Steven Universe, Cuties, he’s even working on a follow-up to The Last Jedi rant.
What’s sad is that there’s legitimate criticism to be had regarding some of the things he’s ranted about. For example, I too am disgusted by Cuties and how some people are using it to justify pedophilia. But the fact that MisAnthro Pony attacks anyone who says anything remotely positive about the film, puts them on what is essentially a hit list, and encourages his viewers to harass them in the hopes they get arrested is nothing short of psychotic.
And bringing things back to the subject of this thread, there’s of course his extreme hatred of Doug Walker. Even as someone who believes Doug has done a lot of things wrong in the past and has lost a lot of interest in his work, I feel like MisAnthro Pony’s rants towards him border on a-logging territory. He’s become a very toxic person, and I wish he’d just stop for one moment and realize the more he acts the way he does, the more people he alienates.
