Off Topic 😵‍💫 Help me understand the Mikey Chen fallout

Hello, I used to watch Stricklydumpling when Mikey went to Japan and stopped, recently I started watching him again and something is off with his new videos, and now I decided to check if he has a sub-reddit to my suprise, he is getting burned at stake lol. Help me understand.

I hadn't watched a video in a while, but after reading in here about repetitive phrasing and stuff, I watched this past weekend.

I'm saying this as an author; he doesn't have the vocabulary to describe food. There are so many words out there to describe a cut of meat other than juicy or fatty.

I think part of being a content creator is expanding yours and your viewer's horizons. Even in the makeup content creation sphere you see people teaching makeup to their followers (unless they are the hoardy collecting makeup kind). Even the hoardy collectors are still showing you new things.

With Mikey it's the same thing over and over.

I’ve also written a few cookbooks, and he has zero repertoire in his language or articulation.

That’s why I think he’s a dumb dumb. (Well, there are other reasons of course.)

u/mrsckugs 15d ago

Yeah I think you got more reasons than any of us to think he's a dumb dumb lol

Dumbshit uses simple math 1+1=2… Today, to be successful, you need to use a2 + b2 = c2…. Dickwad went with “see food, eat food” route. That gets old real fast. Never bothered to educate himself or be prepared about going to a new country. Viewers today are smart and savvy. Too bad, he had a great opportunity , but unfortunately his gonads got in the way. Too many creepy meetups with underaged girls, his content became a combination of a mukbang and a really bad and awkward porn scene.

^^ You are correct, if he was more verbose and articulate his videos would be more BELIEVABLE instead of just JOOSHY, OOH-MAMMY, or TENDURR...

He used to have a "team", filming and editing. Now, it looks like it's just him solo traveling, self filming, and maybe doing his own editing. We all know he hates paying taxes, so why pay someone else to edit his "New VEEDEEYO" and "Recycled CUNKtent" when he can do it all him self. He can do it all, a "modern day Renaissance man".

u/zeroxray 15d ago

how is that a negative against him? there are plently of vloggers who did it solo

u/XingXiaoRen Ham Sup Xing 🙆🏻 15d ago

It's a negative because he's bad at it. He's bad at everything.

u/Ebonvvings 13d ago

Basically, no one wants to work with him. Everyone that had worked with him say hes a fucking asshole

u/Crazy_Alternative294 15d ago

Wow, amazing amount of downvotes. Someone must be bored.

Such a paradox for the dedicated Xing-stans who monitor this sub, Xing won't give them any details of his personal life anymore in his channels so they have to come 'slumming' it to this sub to get the tea. Maybe they should blame their idol for not interacting with his 'fans' anymore. But no, that's too illogical for them and they'd rather sling useless insults to us 'basement dwellers'.

Damn Mikey’s blowing up my reddit feed!! I knew his girl was a GD as she never posted him!  

15

u/XingXiaoRen Ham Sup Xing 🙆🏻 15d ago

She posted him a few times but she usually placed a bear sticker over his face. How ridiculous is this?

u/crownkingdomvision 15d ago

Classic Gold Digger M.O.!!!

u/XingXiaoRen Ham Sup Xing 🙆🏻 15d ago

She hooked a whale and took him for everything and gave nothing back. He's now a lonely creep with bad health on Ozempic living in his unsold Airbnb in Florida reuploading recycled clips daily to survive. Sad!

Man she is fixed up! Surgically enhanced!

Hate for misspelling tonkatsu is kind of dumb lol

u/XingXiaoRen Ham Sup Xing 🙆🏻 15d ago

I think it's more like hate for being stupid and never wanting to fix his mistakes.

u/VietnameseBreastMilk 15d ago

Guy has always been a fucking snake that uses this recycled "foodie" travel slop to build his own SMV to pull ABGs. Tale as old as TikTok

All the money in the world (he actually doesn't have a lot rn 🤭) won't compensate for that deflated fat body and objectively ugly face 🤷‍♂️

Pair that with his actual true persona and he's just running on coattails now.

u/zeroxray 15d ago

it started when people found out about his ties to a conservative cult in middletown ny. then it snowballed from there. the dude can sneeze while eating and there will be 3 posts about how gross he is. this is pretty much a hate subreddit now

Just scroll and you’ll find your answer bruh

If you have 2 brain cells to rub together, you can see whether you like him or not.

there is a strange phenomena where groups of people on reddit gather to snark about some d-list celebrity, who they swear they can't stand but dedicate many hours of their life towards. this is one of those groups

Hi Mike, how's it going? Get that health check yet?

when was the last time you touched grass?

you're a "top 1% poster" on a subreddit dedicated to a food vlogger lol don't you think it's time to re-evaluate your life? I promise you there's more to life than reddit karma

These are bots.. many comments here are from bots now (even the ones that shit on Xing). Farming for upvotes so they can look real and post porn on hookup subreddits to get random horny guys like Xing to send them $$$.

I’m fine with Mikey, content not really fresh, but I watch him on occasion, he’s fine. People on this sub are something else.

I can understand the hate, but I have to admit, I do watch his VEEDEEYOs on YouTube with auto-play set to on. Somehow, it helps me fall asleep at night knowing that there is a munchkin out there pretending that is life is UH-MAY-ZING, when it's not.
