Asmongold puts Jaffe on blast for unhinged sexist rant at Vara Dark

Man, Jaffe completely lost it after Drawn To Dead flopped so damn bad, he went mental, what a waste...

Also, Vara Dark or whatever is female Grummz/Endymion/average grifter, Jaffe getting to that level speaks more about himself than anything else, good job feeding her clicks for weeks of content though 🙄👍
 
I thought this was about the Dragon Age video which Jaffe got thoroughly cooked but damn, dude is just a garbage human.

How do you talk about someone like that, record it, and then press upload. I can kinda sorta understand when it's a stream and you're in the heat of the moment but, wow.

I'm glad he has a platform to speak on allowing us all to witness him, completely lose his marbles, in realtime. Jesus Christ man.

There was almost an endearing quality about davidjaffe davidjaffe chasing the Youtue algorithm while being five years behind the curve, but he's graduated to full on pathetic attention whore by going into the chat of her live streams and pulling a "debate me bro" after saying she's a mental lightweight and only has an audience because of her gender. Remember when he used to post here to try to pump up his channel?

Jaffe is correct, people (men) watch her videos because she's an attractive woman. What's so controversial about saying the truth?
Then whos watching Hypnotic, that does the same content as Vara and is just a fucking avatar?
While there are alot of female streamers that get a huge following from they looks cuz they pretty much have they tits out with they OF linked in the description, Vara is just a face and a voice that dosent sexualize herself to gain followers. And if she has a following is because pretty much most ppl there agree with her opinion.

probably kind of rare, i almost never watch these guys, only know them based on thumbnail, or in this forum.
jaffe is clown for me, i dont like him at all...
other two, which i know from this forum threads as well, riding the hype of the antiwoke, and is not better than jaffe.
But I can understand, Youtuber rides on the hypes to generate $$$, since I once content creator myself.
I just, don't like this kind of Youtubers fighting each other.

I usually give Jaffe the benefit of the doubt.
But his comments about the redhead make him look extremely bad here.



Not to defend Jaffe here, but there is a bit of a tone deaf irony in that video coming from a dude who was at one point one of the biggest gaming content creators from the early days (through Screwattack) and is now reduced to a small channel trying to stay relevant by doing the same outrage bait shit as everyone else...which can only get more than like 25k views on his videos when he talks about other content creators.

Damnit GAF, I finally get all of Varas videos to stop showing up in my feed due to her being the most boring personality that "covers" gaming, and by covers I mean just makes the same video all her friend group of creators make that is usually some kind of click bait rage bait shit and I've got to see her and Jaffe popping up in an Asmon vid. I enjoy a good Asmond video now and again but a video about both of them with his beyond toxic dumbshit chat going bananas might just be too much for me today I think.

The word "condescending" in the op is very apt. That's exactly how he sounded as he used the age-old arguments about 'looks' and 'intellect' to tear down a woman who challenged his oh-so progressive mentality and sensitive feelings.

WHO CARES FUCK EM ALL

This.

To hell with these "reactors", beating the same drum over and over again, repeating things that we have known for a long time. Acting like experts on stuff we already understand. None of this is interesting or useful in any way, it's like a little drama club for people trapped in a single-topic loop.

This is all we have left because they can't make good games anymore.

Fromsoft making one game in seven years isn't enough. RDR2 from 2018 isn't enough. Some indie shit card game with phone graphics isn't enough.

There is nothing worth playing from AAA, no new ideas, odious identity politics, sickening online gambling mechanics, and a level of arrogance from "creators" that can scarcely be believed.

I'm holding out for Death Stranding 2 because Kojima is in his own little bubble. Will Sony let a good game be released though?

Really??? What does her actual content offer that hasn't already been done by hundreds of other grifter channels? It's not that hard to see why some people are drawn to her...

You’re not wrong. It’s sad seeing SC latch onto to this so unnaturally. He is capable of making great gaming content if he wanted to. Met the guy in person a couple times. Super cool dude.

Probably doesn't offer anything new at all which is why many of us here have never heard of her before. But who is being "drawn" to her here? And why? She is just a normal looking young woman. If this is all about gender and looks then how is it anyone knows who Asmongold is?

Fact of the matter is David Jaffe could have just ignored her and most of us still wouldn't know who she is.

Jaffe's tag would be:
"Mental Lightweight"

Jaffe and Youtube content creation is like Chris Wallace from CNN deciding to quit the network in order to start his own podcast. He's about 10 years too late to the game.

Chuds obviously. A mildy attractive woman agreeing with their political takes is all they need. Again, she doesn't offer anything fresh and never really has. In contrast, Asmongold (much like Grummz) is popular because of WoW. They both built their audience based on their ties to the game and THEN transitioned into the culture war. Grummz weird tweets about Bethesda also accelerated his growth on twitter. That's the same reason why anyone bothers watching Jaffe's dry content nowadays.

At least post her initial video where she attacked him first so we get the full picture. She misrepresented his word to make it seem like he was insulting her for being a streamer when, he was pointing out how people who make content like her are just grifters. People like Grubbs, the Quartering, the Actman, etc. He explained in in his response video, but the only part people will focus on is where he said she has a platform mostly because of her looks, which is honestly true. Nobody is watching her to get "insightful analysis" of gaming news, lol.

Her videos get like 10k, 20k viewers at best, she's trying so hard to become big by riling up the same people who feed on this "culture-war-on-everything" BS

Jaffe is helping her without even realizing, instead of shutting his mouth for a goddam minute and think before replying to random people on the internet

Jaffe is not painting himself in a good light with this one.
Tbh, he rarely if ever paints himself in good light. He's super immature and his political takes are reminiscent of edgy 13 year old reddit atheists.
Jaffe is a piece of shit and a psychopath. No idea why Colin has this clown on his show.

Colin is almost as hard to listen to as Jaffe. I will say at least Jaffe doesn't hide who he is. Colin is basically all but a full blown leftist at this point.

Fair point regarding Asmongold. But again, this Vara girl came out of no where due to Jaffe's decision to respond, not because of her looks. Scanning some of her content, her takes seems to be more in line with "chuds", certainly, but I've seen more references to Endymiontv here talking about the same stuff than her. So I don't think the generalization really works as far as "chuds" are concerned and is a bit bizarre for this characterization of her looks and gender to be the focus especially coming from Jaffe who supposedly doesn't have a problem with DEI.

On Vara, I sure that may be true to an extent(knowing the common man), but not for me. Her videos always scoop Asmon or anybody else. She has videos on woke shit like the second we bring it up here and then Asmon reacts hours later. Because she beats so many to the punch, she gets the views. I assume you assumed she had nothing unique about her channel, but actually what I just said is true, so you are wrong on that point....

On to Jaffe....how could you Jaffe? You have your nose so far up your own ass, jeez Louise.

I'm no white knight my guys, you know this shit. Vara can dish it out too, so I'm not worried about sexism here, I'm just such a fucking unintended Jaffe hater lately and basically it's all his contrarian ass' fault. You are unlikable my man, moreso as you age. If you recover from this, get a grip.

Get a grip Jaffe. /scold

Didn't come out of nowhere. Lots of content creators that focus on the DEI stuff and large amount of bad decisions made by the Western Gaming Industry are gaining a lot of traction. It's creating a domino effect. Either Ubisoft or Veilguard was a trigger point IMO.
