Nah, that's nothing.
Watch some old NC reviews. He frequently calls women he doesn't like "a whoooore!!!".
Most reviewers on that site regularly call female chars "bitches" or "slutty". In NCs review of "IT" he makes fun of the traumatized girl and calls her a slut for sleeping with all her male friends.

It's nothing new and nobody really cares, I guess.
Most of them have "personas" anyways, so if they say something dumb fans will always excuse them by pretending it was just the persona, not the real critic.

Reviewers like Oancitizen and Linkara are feminist, though. They don't use such lingo, so maybe check them out if you happen to like American comics or arthouse movies.

I love Oancitizen and Linkara, partially because they are both very respectful people and partially because they just seem so much more into it than lots of their coworkers. It's nice to see these guys talking about something they're so passionate about.

[kathkin]

I tend to let this stuff slide with the NC because from what I've seen of his OOC videos Doug is also pretty feminist so I figure it's part of the Critic's character. He's stated many a time that the Critic is supposed to be a pathetic loser more than anything else.

Then again it's still not very advisable because I doubt a lot of his viewers take it that way. :/

Yeah, it usually isn't such a big deal to me either. The exception was the "IT" review, because later on in the commentary Doug repeats himself and says he didn't get how sleeping with all the guys did anything for her/her character development and "haha, she was just a slut".

Re: ayrt

[kathkin]

I confess, I haven't actually seen the IT review - I'm squeamish about horror stuff so I tend to skip over a lot of the halloween reviews. That does sound pretty nasty, though. :/

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, I get the feeling the NC was supposed to be at least partially the stereotypical nerdy dudebro asshole in the same way that the NChick is supposed to be a psuedo-fauxminist at times (though she tends to flip back and forth between that and actual feminist depending on what suits the review I guess? idk). I thought that came through pretty clearly in the joint reviews they do.

but the commenters on thatguy are overwhelmingly a bunch of sexist douchecanoes yeah

[kathkin]

That's the impression I have of the NChick as well - especially in stuff like her Charlie's Angels review (that was the one with the 'burkas', right?).

Basically I get what he's going for with the NC but I think he should have considered that a lot of his viewers wouldn't get the joke. xD Probably because they kind of are that guy. >_>

The issue for me tends to be the reviewers where the line between performer and character is more blurred, because sometimes I really can't tell whether you're supposed to be laughing at or with them when they say shit like that. :(

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, tell me about it -__- there's this one commenter in particular who almost all of the comments I've seen from them tends have this whole "feminism is eeeeeviiilll" vibe, and I just feel like giving them a verbal slap in the face. I also remember this one other commenter (who doesn't appear to be on the site anymore, haven't seen any comments from them in a while, thankfully)writing that they had no sympathy for people who have been in abusive relationships and gets back with their abuser, writing something along the lines of "if they're stupid enough to get back with their abuser, then they deserve it/don't deserve my sympathy"(I can't remember which video it was, but it was in regards to Chris Brown/Rhianna).
I just...I just wish that the producers would call out some of their commenters sometime, especially when they say sexist crap like that, actually point out and say "this is not OK". Is that too much to ask?

[awkward_as_heck]

The insults Lupa and NChick were throwing at each other during To Boldly Flee bugged me. I get its all in-character and stuff but it rubbed me the wrong way.

[fenm]

THANK YOU. Just... ugh.

But then, the whole Chick -> Todd -> Lupa thing has been full of that, which is one of the many reasons I'm glad it seems to be dead.

ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but I had the impression that most of the jokes in TBF were of the toilet kind, so I wasn't surprised they had a stereotypical cat fight in it as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Rap Critic is really good, as well.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

He's also made some really rad albums! Check 'em out sometime!

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't checked out his albums, but I keep meaning to! He's actually one of my favorite critics on the site, but so few people seem to know about him. It saddens me.
