Hey BlackGAF I was thinking about this a few days ago

I wanted to ask:
Am I the only black guy who has a negative reaction to some of the Black Gamer/Youtubers who have created personas for over-reaction hyper excited :O-faced channels?

They seem to get a large following just for the act which is cool but try as I might I cannot enjoy them.

I guess I want to check my feelings on this, why is it okay for Angry Joe, Pewdiepie, and FRANCIS(boogie2988) to make characters of themselves but I feel funny if I watch OBE1 try to do the same shit?

I feel I should want to support, watch, and share this brother's videos but nope I keep cringing. Why? I like Nintendo, he likes Nintendo. Am I just too old? (43)

Why am I feeling weird about this?

Nah, that shit is unfunny in general.

I'm 19 and I hate all that shit. AngryJoe, Nostalgia Critc, whatever. That's why I don't use YT for stuff other than music videos & wrestling clips. It's all just a bunch of unfunny people screaming into cameras.

I'm 19 but you can't deny the power Youtubers have with memetic thumbnails and words. Along with Twitch and Vines, It's the new age of TV for kids and they show no signs of faltering.

I caught up with Until Dawn.

Seems like the black dude is the easiest one to have die first, as he's the only one to die through an extremely unintuitive series of events. I'm not replaying the whole damn game to save just him.

Shy would be the super androgynous character that always ends up being the most OP in the game. Press the musou button and his kindness attracts everyone to him, then he kills them in one blast.

LOL.

And this would be my fighting style. 😝

LOL. Fuck yeah i'd be steed.

I'd wear dapper suits all day long while Diana Rigg and i kicked people arses.
And the night would be ours.

And then when the timed skip happens, she'd use her Queen Of Thorns ultimate. And kill everyone on screen with just a cutting remark.

Yo holmes. I'm gonna ask here because in the thread i opened there's no answers so far.

Myself said:
After i got jumped a few months ago in which i lost (ok, robbed) my phone and a substantial amount of cash i've been living by an old and pretty shity phone. FINALLy i can get rid of my old contract and i'm looking for something new and since i don't want to expend a lot i'm looking between this two:

Lenovo Vibe K5

http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_k5-7946.php

and

Huawei P8 lite (a.k.a. G Elite in Mexico and LA)

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p8lite-7201.php

Why those and not something fancier/bleeding edge technologically? My budget is limited and those fit both my budget and i was quite satisfied with the performance of one i got stoled (a Huawei Ascend G7 http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_g7-6646.php for those curious)

So, any advice?

It's not just you. I can't watch or support that nonsense either, and we're around the same age bracket. There might be some of truth to age being a factor, but I would say that people acting like clowns just doesn't go over well for black people, period.
We've had too much at stake for too long to not be taken seriously and play the minstrel.
The cost of selling ones pride or acting a fool is a concept that most of us have had to live with before we even learned to chew properly.
Now, that's not to say that there aren't those that absolutely nail a schtick, but these cats that we're talking about have no nuance to their game. It's questionable how self aware they are about their performances. At least it is in my mind.

I ain't know nothing about either of those phones but the Lenovo seems to have slightly better battery while everything else is the same or similar. Just going by what's on paper I would go with that.

Someone's probably a hell of a lot more knowledgable about phones than me. I haven't really paid attention to different phone models since being on the iPhone bandwagon for several years

Without a doubt.

There are a fair number of white liberals that think that being allies or dating/marrying one of us gets them a pass to talk that kind of shit. I've known a number of black women that have had some serious bullshit tossed their way by white women who were with black men following that line of thought. Too many black dudes let that shit slide too.

Yeah saving him requires a lot of illogical decisions.

Pissed me off. He was the best character
