Anthony Fantano outed as Nazi

98  2017-10-04 by xKillerDreag

For those of you who don't know: Anthony Fantano is a prominent Youtube music reviewer, known for being south-park neutral on many issues, annoying fanboys by giving MBDTF a 6/10, and having an inappropriate taste in humour. His south-park neutrality has resulted in him being associated with people like Sam Hyde, who he interviewed once.

He had a secondary channel called ThatIsThePlan, where he posted dumb raunchy comedy videos that teens and his *chan followers (given that he actually started off on /mu/) would find funny.

Obviously, this didn't sit right with Brooklyn hipsters, who published a hit piece labeling him as alt-right. This is despite him having a black wife, constantly talking about social issues, and mocking Trump on Twitter.

Fantano has since deleted his second youtube channel and is planning a response video.

There are some shitshow on Twitter, and his subreddit, and within the lovely ChapoTrapHouse community.

MARX DEBUNKED ALT RIGHT YEARS AGO

jay-Z debunked rock’n’roll

8/10

I knew it.

All vegans are nazis.

this but unironically

So meat is Jews?

Well hitler was one so

OY VEY CHABAL THE GOYIM

Yo that's bullshit.

The meme review was actually a good series

WHAT UP CUCK BOI

Today marks the 7th anniversary of me changing.... my main on super smash bros.

Why do cucks ruin everything?

cuck

Its chud soyboy bugmen now.

What is it with left leaning subs like chapo or CB2 and getting unironically upset with obviously joking Filthy Frank tier meme garbage?

Is it bad content? Sure. But like they're acting like its on the same level of guys like ben garrison with their "problematic reee" shit.

buttlash

Its not enough that their opponents are buffoons, they have to be made demonic

Melonhead isn't even their opponent in the grand scheme of things, he's a fucking Bernie-loving progressive vegan who complains on twitter about politicians not being left-wing enough when he isn't shitposting memes.

When THAT becomes their opponent it's clear they're just Stalinists with a new coat of paint.

I was talking more about the racists that they say he is parodying. It does them no good if racists are simply a laugingstock, they want them scrubbed from memory

Cuz they're actually mentally disabled.

To the fascist, of any stripe, be it nazi or commie, the most important thing that all entertainment must do is this: serve the ideology, push the narrative, prop up the system with obvious bullshit.

For that reason, they see ALL art as manipulation. They don't believe it's possible to simply tell a joke with the motive of making people laugh. They assume--because this would be their goal--that you must be trying to make some deeper political point.

Lmfao this might just be the #wokest thing ive ever read.

this but unironically unhashtagged

For once, I actually agree with you. That's what I hate especially about the far left and the far right - they strip people of agency. For example you can't just like hip-hop or video games or sports, no, you've ackchyually been brainwashed by da j00s to let a black Muslim fuck your wife/the Trumpatriarchy to murder minorities and manspread. This all stems from them not being able to comprehend that other people have different views and thinking that everyone except them is wrong.

It is insane to me because the hosts are the exact type of people into the humour the fanbase finds offensive.

How many times has it been that they were asked to apologize for offensive jokes they made a year ago, or why they associate with people like Nick Mullen?

There's a lot of kids on the chapo sub are deeply invested in the whole sjw/anti-sjw youtube culture wars. They have pretty much daily threads about the youtube culture wars netting hundreds of comments. Compare that to their threads about actual political issues, which get maybe 20 comments if you're lucky.

I don't really know how to explain it, because as far as I know the podcast rarely if ever mentions that sort of thing, except perhaps to idly poke fun at adolescent gamer stereotypes.

I think (or rather hope) it's mostly explained by the fact that a lot of young people post there. God help anyone who's over 18 and still cares about retarded youtube feuding.

They have pretty much daily threads about the youtube culture wars netting hundreds of comments.

But why tho

Do they really have the time to watch Zorgord the logicians 6,000,000 minute dissertations on autistic femcels calling mayonnaise racist?

for Zorgord, I can always make time

i get the feeling that the actual hosts of chapo trap house wouldn't be fans of anyone on that subreddit.

Oh yeah i got to agree there. Theyre both really stupid. But its like a dffierent kind of stupid. Kia gets morally outraged because theyre a bunch of conspiracy morons who think the world is out to get them, while ghazi gets morally outraged because they cant take jokes and see everything as problematic. Both are funny, but yeah kia manages to somehow be more deluaional.

i don't think having a shitty sense of humor is more delusional than conspiratardism

more annoying and impractical? sure

thats what I said. I said the KiA crowd, the conspiracy alex jones crowd, is more delusional.

oh i forgot what kia is

Yeah, the worst part is these types of groups (both on the left and the right) have some valid points but get lost in self-congratulation and turn into echo chambers really quick. Like the MDE sub, they tend to think of themselves as this secret club of le enlightened big brain patricians and of everyone else as racist oppressors/normie bugmen/some other uncreative insult. It's a really toxic, antisocial mentality to have.

The article is unironically sympathetic to mattress girl

Too good.

how mad was that soy-boy when he had to refer to buddy as an "alleged" rapist

what's wrong with not being sympathetic to mattress girl? they specifically made it out like "anti feminists" were the only ones defending her when irl her claims were disproven multiple times in court. i mean even r/gamerghazi of all places was defending the guy in that scenario- you can't use that as a point to call him "alt right"

The article was sympathetic, not Melon. My phrasing left that unclear. I, like every reasonable person on this earth, think that chick is a sociopath.

Fantano is a dumbass so I'm glad his shit got shut down tbh. Hopefully his review channel is next

Truth. Dude didn't like Emperor of Sand so at the very least he deserves to also get butt cancer.

every time chapo is linked it is literally just them using what i assume is the lingo of the hosts over and over again.

They really are just the worst. Usually when they get linked here they start blatantly brigading and 80% of the thread is their shitty memes getting upvoted.

they start blatantly brigading

wow, how horrible, ur lucky to be alive

zoz

zle

zozzle

haha get corncobbed u stupid binch with brain worms maga chud smooth brain

heh and they say the left can't meme XD

if you want karma just get ur ctrl-v finger ready with exactly that

By Your Logic me and the other failsons should dril-tweet more corncobbing of binch MAGA-Chuds

XYZ go on Cum Town

*obsessively posts about a handful of Clinton-campaign people that very few if any people actually care about

anyone else up for hitting up the local DSA meeting? ive printed out namecards with IRONIC pun-names like Kim Jong Dril, Jonathan Gay-lor Thomas, Bic Flair (picture of a lighter) and Chill Smith

If this incoherent dribble is anything to go by I'm quite glad I've never listened to these subhumans.

I just did exactly this. Lets see how it goes

you gotta make sure it's in a place where the target is clear like on a twitter repost that they don't like or attacking a 'brigader'

Cumtown. Cumtown. Rose emoji.

Cum town is good, and the fine people of r/drama should give it a listen

I have a feeling sooner or later /r/chapotraphouse will turn on cumtown for being problematic. You already see a few spergs chiming in with "but he's a rape joker" every time nick mullen is brought up. Hopefully it makes for some good drama.

That would definitely be some good drama, and I'm kinda surprised it hasn't happened already. I just hope the outcome wont be them toning down the offensiveness to appease the Chapo audience. The cum would dry up without racial stereotypes and slurs. Hopefully nicks irony shield continues to protect him.

Although, nick already tried to get both weev and sam hyde to come on in the early days of the show, and as we learned from the fantano article, that makes him an irredeemable alt right nazi

💦🌃. 💦🌃. 🌹.

Don't forget chud, whatever the fuck that means

Chud is the sewer dwelling cousin of Chad. Chad crushes pussy, Chud crushes human flesh

Oh I am a chud then huh

I think it's just because they're all retarded

its absolutely horrific isnt it. usually its things that the hosts have said maybe 3 times in 150 episodes but they repeat it constantly.

usually its things that the hosts have said maybe 3 times in 150 episodes but they repeat them constantly

So it's a leftist version of /r/jontron?

you misspelled r/h3h3

Well, I'm pretty sure the venn diagram of those two subreddit's subscribers is a circle.

They remind me of the kid in high school who saw Team America and never opened his mouth except to quote a punchline from that movie.

Man that guy was annoying.

never seen team america, is it any good?

its great apart from the speech at the end about how invading other peoples countries is unironically good.

oh no wait this is a south park centrist sub isnt it, uhhhh yeah its fantastic all the way through

I can chud myself to that praxis.

I've never even listened to an episode of chapo but when I see their sub I think "Jesus this much cringe"

i only became aware of it when some pyscho in the joe rogan sub reddit went on and on about it all the time and called everyone all the same lingo

okay

What the shit is an MBDTF?

Kanye album 5

Is that the one where he professes his love of bussy?

it's the one where his girl fucks Wiz Khalifa and he hears it on a still-running cellphone and then bon iver comes over for a cry sess

Wow, that's way gayer than I thought.

Honestly hats an accurate description but Kanye is a legit artistic genius so it’s really well done.

If any other artist tried to use the types of themes, beats, and style that Kanye does it would be cringey as fuck.

absolute TRASH

Thems fightin words

🌊❌😤😡😤❌🌊

NOT WAVY

Best album ever made

Look up overrated in the dictionary and you will find it.

several memes featuring the n-word appear throughout the clip. This doesn’t require much complex analysis. Fantano thinks the n-word is funny, so he put it in his comedy video.

imagine being this retarded

He doesnt even say it himself, he says "real ones" when he's talking about the "real niggas" meme

He literally made a video where explains why he won't say the word nigger.

Didn't Fantano release like, a 20-minute video explaining why he never says the N word in album titles because of how offensive it is?

yes, but hes still an evil racist who thinks lynchings are funny because he showed a meme in a video about memes and the meme had a naughty word

REAL ONES on the moon

Who? this guy?

The best teeth

I want to remove that mustache with a shotgun

Best teeth and the worst mustache in the game.

Fandango btfo. And reading the comments on Chapotrap, these people live a different reality than mine. I can't fathom taking seriously what Antony made in titp, you must be truly a buzzkill

He is a vegan hipster and back in his college days he was into all that hardcore marxist shit you can even see it in his old photos. These people are fucking dumb has hell.

The soyboy who wrote the "article." All these manlets calling everything to the right nazi are so tiny.

dude looks like the missing link between Neanderthals and humans

Neanderthals were bulky this man is a twig. He more resembles a homo floresiensis

Looks like a regular guy

about 75% of the use of soy-boy or bugman is used by other soy-boys and bugmen

t. soyboy bugman

YOU'RE A BLOCKHEAD JOE

every time these chaco weirdos show up it's never for a positive reason.

Fucktards from FADER are just butthurt that Fantano has one million subs while no one even knows name of FADER's music (((reviewers))).

I can't remember what it was but I remember him getting called out for saying some racist shit,

Sure, that's enough proof for me!!

I find it funny that the article acknowledges that he's not a (((real))) music critic because he hasn't written in the pitchfork or The Rolling Stones 😂

Shit article, but Anthony's response to it by deleting ThatIsThePlan entirely is pathetic as fuck.

He’s a huge cuck, look at how he made a 10 minute long virtue signaling video about how he REFUSES to say the n word.

it's his fucking choice he's not going around slamming other people who do it. you honestly seem like a bigger cuck here fwiw

Yeah he can do whatever the hell he wants but he still made a 10 minute video about how he won’t say a word just to signal how progressive he is to his audience.

Plus he gave MBDTF a 6 and gave Saturation a 9 (Brockhampton is so overrated). He also said Trav’s old mixtapes weren’t very good which is a ridiculous opinion. I just don’t like the guy’s takes and I hate how HHH worships his opinion.

It wasn't just to signal to his audience that he was progressive, his audience has been asking him why he didn't use it for a long time. It was also a response to the whole Pewdiepie situation and he wanted to throw his opinion into the mix.

IF HE DOESNT SAY THE N WORD THEN HE SUPPORTS WHITE GENOCIDE. PERIOD.

He did say it wasn't just the article but that the whole channel was obviously on a YouTube monetization blacklist and he didn't want to crowdfund support for a shitposting series.

He's stated that he was likely going to delete the channel because of demonetization long before that article came out

link?

Cool, thanks. He doesn't talk about deleting the channel at all here though, the vids need to be uploaded somewhere else I think.

It’s going to bring the PJW thing up too. I was a little disappointed when he had Sargon on like 2 years ago but that was the height of his “alt-tightness”. His video on PJW slams most alt right talking points very hard.

Honestly Anthony 🍉 is the best music reviewer out there right now. I find myself agreeing with him and disagreeing with him on reviews. But his opinions are valid and he's a good guy.

Mangohead didn't like The Fragile but I don't think he deserves a lot of shit for it.

They call him alt-right because he made fun of communism. I can't wait for this marxism fade to go away.

What self important smug arseholes would think their pathetic little scrawl was his inspiration to delete his videos, and not perhaps the fact that they all got demonetized?

Lol this is a clearly a joke but I hate Fantano for some of his dumb ass takes (MBDTF a 6, Saturation a 9, saying Trav’s mixtapes weren’t good). I hope people on HHH end up thinking he’s a Nazi so I never have to hear his terrible takes again.

To be far, his second channel was hot dogshit.

Man, I'm not even a fan of Anthony Fantano but seeing people just lying through their teeth about his character completely shamelessly, and then seeing that ChapoTrapHouse sub just lap it up is pretty frustrating. He's literally just left-of-center politically and he gets lumped in with white nationalists by these leftist hipsters for what?

I skipped over most of the article but this caught my eye:

follows the same dark trajectory as that of American political culture at large, which is to say, it started with Gamergate. In 2014, Fantano wrote a response to a question on his blog about the feminist video-game critic Anita Sarkeesian. His post aligned with the nascent Gamergate movement: he calls Sarkeesian an “outsider” to gaming culture spouting “pure, unsubstantiated BS,” and says that video games offer a harmless but “easy target for [people who are] quick to complain.” Life, he argues, does not imitate art: ”People have been whining and moaning over ‘harmful’ media for generations. And it should be no surprise that those desperately seeking to be offended lose every time.” At the time it didn’t feel particularly inflammatory. But in retrospect, this post provides a roadmap for where Fantano’s beliefs would take him in the future.

So that stuff he initially said wasn't that bad, it's only the nazi stuff he started doing after drifting even further away from the left afterwards?

These days, political ideologies that crystallized during the Gamergate maelstrom dominate society. “The alt-right … has its roots in the Gamergate movement in terms of ideology and online mob mentality,” writes William Turton in The Outline. Much of the “YouTube right” emerged during the movement, including a 38-year-old British man named Carl Benjamin, whose YouTube channel Sargon of Akkad currently has 708,000 subscribers.

So that means GG won! ?

Though he describes himself as a “classic liberal” and has disavowed the alt-right, most of his videos revolve around his anger at feminists, whom he describes as a “hashtag hate group.”

Well since he's angry at feminists that means is alt-right. Or what?

They spent two hours in friendly conversation, commiserating about the rise of “authoritarian social movements” in the music industry. Akkad describes “extreme left wing activists” who are “quite authoritarian,” and “all feminists.” Fantano agrees, and notes how Tyler, The Creator has been targeted by these activists. Then Akkad unleashes a series of abhorrent opinions, arguing that the statistic that one in five women will be sexually assaulted in college is a “myth,” and that mass murderer Elliot Rodgers was spurred to kill by the “feminist system” destroying his self-esteem. The video ends with final critiques of feminism from both vloggers — ”the gender debate distracts” from more important issues, Fantano concludes. It’s believers are “useful idiots,” adds Akkad.

There's a huge difference between sympathizing with Rodger, and saying that an unstable deprived psycho was pushed to the edge by an annoying ideology opposed to him - knowing Carlgon to the extent that I do, him going with the former rather than the latter would be really surprising.

Didn't listen to the podcast or know anything about Fantano though lmo

Not sure what's up with that Sam Hyde faggot. Then it goes on to say:

In the 18 months since the release of the podcast, his content has swerved much farther right. On June 8, 2016, he uploaded a video called “Trigglypuff MEME REVIEW (#MessageToFeminists).” It has since been reuploaded by another user, and you can watch it here. It’s a dissection of a viral clip in which a protester yells at Milo Yiannapolous during a campus appearance — Fantano calls the protestor, who was nicknamed Trigglypuff by 4Chan, a “Hostess cake huffer” and a “loud obnoxious pig of a human being,” and awards the video ”500 points … for an accurate portrayal of social justice slacktivism.” He describes social justice advocates as “walking cringe compilations” and fills the screen with images of women he believes fit that description, including the aforementioned Sarkeesian and Emma Sulkowicz, known for carrying a mattress around Columbia University in protest of the school’s refusal to expel her alleged rapist. I don't see what's wrong with any of that?

Fantano has chosen to paste the phrase “fuck me in the but” [sic] over her image, a reference to a text Sulkowicz allegedly sent to her rapist, which, according to anti-feminist bloggers, proves her rape claim was a hoax.

I thought the mattress case was confirmed as a false allegation, and not even primarily due to that text message or whatever? But I forgot the details again, so whatever.

These days, political ideologies that crystallized during the Gamergate maelstrom dominate society.

holy shit, imagine unironically typing that sentence

Well I don't really know whether that's true or not - so I guess I can't imagine unironically typing that sentence because I'd first have to be informed and I don't know what that feels like.

The online personalities who're now at the helm of the online anti-PC "movement" have either emerged out of GG and Pzus drama, or carried over from new atheism - the only question is how influential they are in the public sphere.

In this case the article talks about an internet critic who isn't really more notable than those people, so I'd say that sentence made sense in this context.

;)

Imagine being this buttupset about the /mu/mu/ mayamay man.

Am I alone in not knowing who any of these YouTubers and streamers and 'internet celebrities' in general are? I'm a guy who spends too much time on the internet but this is just a whole other world to me and everyone else seems to know what's going on. What does this even mean??

And by "outed" do you mean "falsely accused"? Overly sensitive idiots are not an authority on what's nazi and what isn't.
