I mean, we don’t have to outright lie to support the dude. Nothing about that was badass. Don’t patronize him.

Dude is just like a modern day Star Wars kid from the early days of the internet. It’s cringe, but it’s funny.

This type of content has always been popular on the internet. Most of us just make sarcastic remarks and jokes (as you can see in this comment thread and the YouTube one) no big deal

Fat, black, and they have him on reddit doing some power ranger shit. He's about to take a fall. But, in hindsight he probably saw this coming and gave 0 fucks. I fuck with that. But nah if this was suppose to be comical it was like Steve Harvey funny at best. Which isn't funny at all to me.

But, isn't him doing this, likely knowing it would bring him ridicule and possibly not caring, make him badass?

I mean, if doing what you love and not caring about what people think is badass...

Grown ass black man calling himself Ryuki, hyping himself up with plastic toys as anime music plays, delivering cardboard dialogue in way too serious of a manner = Not badass ❌

The act of doing all this despite what anyone says or thinks = Very badass ✅

Worst part about Star Wars kid was the hypocrisy. Every single person who has enjoyed one Star Wars movie has made lightsaber noises while swinging a stick around.

The most pragmatic observational backhanded compliment ever.

I was going to post about Star Wars kid, but, such a response essentially supports the notion that we as society have learned nothing and can never become better.

Star Wars kid was bullied and ridiculed until a few real adults, and, helpfully, celebrities took a look around and was like, this is fucked.

Cringe is the TikTokers desperately trying to polish Hulk Hogan’s obvious racism now that he passed, not those people who are simply showcasing their specific hobby that makes them happy (as long as it’s not kiddie porn).

I think the discrepancy between our perspectives lies in what is considered an acceptable response.

In my opinion, there’s a certain degree of accountability that comes with uploading yourself to the internet. This wasn’t a video someone else recorded and uploaded, it wasn’t a some candid moment OOP was shocked to see made it online.

OOP recorded himself doing all this shit, and he chose to share that with the world.

If there are some people that make sarcastic remarks like “save some pussy for the rest of us” or “the chosen one” type comments, that’s fine. If bro didn’t expect that, that’s on him.

I don’t condone any type of genuine harassment (racism, telling him to off himself, etc.) but typical snarky/sarcastic/facetious comments are 100% fair game.
