There's no such thing, like toxic masculinity, it's BS buzzwords. You're either a fan or something, or you're not. And fanship is not some lifelong debt owned to whoever used the most corrupt lawyers in the battle of the rights.
Yeah, if someone comes into a franchise to work on it and says, "Ew, all the people that like this are toxic," you'd think that that would be a sign that this person is not the right fit for said franchise.
What is absolutely hilarious to me is if they made quality entertainment, these same “toxic fans” would throw mountains of cash at them, give them tons of attention, and cheer whenever they walked into rooms at meetups
I contend it's not necessarily a political term from the left as much as it is a fabricated straw man for media companies in thrall of a handful of loonies who know they are creating shite content. I lean left on most issues, but the notion of 'toxic fandom' has always seemed like contrived bullshite to me.
I'm a European left social-democrat and this is like... Very untrue. "Toxic fandom" is a NEOCAPITALIST's term for what you've wrote here. They're cleaning their assholes with woke-ism and fake political statements, while they're only just starving for more money. The lies and the blames are just the consequences of pure greed. Nothing to do with left... Even if a lot of these phenomena wear the mask of leftism - and they hide so well behind it - that a very good number of idiots believe them and think the do actually care for their cause. 😂 So fuckin dumb.
Lol and this is why Henry Cavill is the hero of our age. When asked about toxic fans he basically said “I don’t think fans are toxic, they are passionate and they love something”. Henry is one of us.
Between the DnD fandom sticking it to WotC and Henry making his own show, I hope this is the turning point in media that we need in order to put talent and content first and send a message to big corporations that they, in fact, are not too big to fail.
@@scratchy996 Ahoy, matey. And if not people come and see the reviews on channels like this AZ, critical drinker instead of paying for the service. (Unless Amazon since the service is with Amazon Prime)
Of course they'll lose. It is LARP, a make-believe thing, a collective illness that will age badly. The real question is how long will it take: It will be a PR nightmare for big corporations to get out of the virtue-signalling nonsense they engaged themselves in with such gusto.
truth. nerdrotic and drinker are front and center now. hollywood actually watches drinker, according to drinker himself. there is no doubt that they watch nerdrotic as well. he's just too good. you can't watch drinker and not watch nerdrotic.
Toxic fandom= people that grew up with the stories, and care about them, whom won't fall for their brainwashing, and demand good content, whom won't stand by, and watch their childhood heroes ruined, and destroyed, and made out in the end to actually not be great, but be total losers... toxic fandom= those whom make fun of the obvious ridiculousness, the hypocritical race/sex focused nonsense that should indeed be criticized.. for hopes of it being fixed, and made for us, and by us, so they lose the ability to make further crap. Only true fans should be making all of this stuff... and it's nothing people who couldn't give a shit about making it true to the source material, and care mostly about sending their message.
honestly i blame "shippers" from the early 2000's and their ilk and the later 'stans'... loving something is cool but not when it's creepy/weird/obsessive/unhealthy/genuinely off-putting to others.
It's a sad time we live in when a TH-cam content creator gives us better entertainment than billion dollar "entertainment" companies. Save our sanity and keep the good stuff coming.
Dunno why you have to set the bar so low or high as to only consume YT creators or billion dollar companies. There's a middle ground, heard of it? Check it out. Good stuff there, just need to get your head out of your ass by not being a hype-junkie like everyone else.
People who I am sure never picked up a comic book in their life or any fantasy series or even watched a movie that was not filled with political innuendos , now they want to torture us who actually used to love movies with their dumbass ideologies. I mean movies used to be the place one goes to , to get away from reality and the world just for 2-3 hours and now it follows you into the cinemas and even in your damn music. over it
We need to stop interviewing actors and start interviewing writers. Make them the front and centre. And ask them, why you write such crap. And tell them that the unlikeable characters are not because of their race/sexual orientation, but simply because they are poorly written
@@KatoKamakazie2404 The elites want to attack us from all sides. Hyperinflation, grooming kids. And now you can't even go see a good movie to get your mind off things. It's criminal.
They do not know what audience they are trying to reach because *they do not have one!* It makes no sense to hire writers who do not care about the source material. That is why Dragonball: Evolution was a spectacular failure years ago. Sadly, the untalented writers with no regard for source material multiplied and strategized on how to get away with insulting their audience with false defense tactics.
@@Attmay The issue is that the only reason they got out of a bust cycle was because they made good things, this time, with the firing of the ones that made the previous boom cycle and their goal of breaking everything from the previous boom cycle, they now need to work twice as hard

Lmao if you think a few geeks on TH-cam helped this movement you need to leave your basement they been failing since Disney bought marvel and star wars it's only now you guys are noticing and hopping on fuck Hollywood bandwagon
It's not just that. They hire people that hate the source material. They change the lore, characters, and story to push their own propaganda, often in direct contradiction to the original creator's intent. And when the fans, who became fans because of the original IP, get angry in response to the desecration, they call us racist, sexist, etc. It's a repeated pattern of behavior from these people. It's malevolent intention. Yes, there are a lot of stupid people involved, but stupidity doesn't explain the constant repetition.
@jan Baer Rings of Power is a massive flop. Most marvel films post avengers have been box-office flops. DC films? Flops. Star Wars stuff? Been flopping post Episode 7. Disney has been losing money, hence the CEO replacement recently. Netflix admitted to losing loads of money last quarter. Hm. Totally sounds like these movies and shows are making any money.
Up until 2016 I have never even heard of the phrase toxic fandom I was already sick of it before but it's just getting ridiculous now every article they somehow never fail to bring that up
I think the first time I heard it was with Star Wars The Force Awakens. It started out with peoe liking it, but then it slowly started to get hammed on as people realized it was a bad clone of A New Hope, then Trump won and it was everywhere
@@IvanIvanov-ni4rs hahahaha you come back every week to comment? You have 18 comments going as far back as 3 months on this channel and now you have come back again. Go workout or something man this ain't the way to get rid of your angry feelings.
Yeah, I was going insane over the pile of sh*t that was Rings of Power. All I could find was praise and I got very confused considering it made me scream at my telly in frustration within the first 10 minutes of episode 1. Found his channel and realised, I wasn't alone. I wasn't going insane. I didn't miss something vital.
The only thing that annoys me about Gary is how he pronounces Nerdrotic. He adds an extra syllable into the word that isn’t written, and as a linguist, I hate it so much. As written, it should just be ner-dro-tic.
Yeah they wanna put out narratives they know only satisfies themselves and not the general audience, then have the audacity to complain when it gets canned. For those searching for it its at 00:53
And that is Ok with small boutique projects, where profit isn't the number 1 motive. But killing legacy characters, either through actually killing, or just wokefying, and costing $Billions is a huge issue, and can't be sustained. For which I am grateful, as it should eventually lead us back to just plain good stories and entertaining movies. I haven't been in a theatre since ragnarok.
we still do. this dude is wearing glasses as thicccc as the bottom of an 80's coke bottle still making fun of a mole of an human being. Producers are woke, media is biased, content creators are toxic and in the middle us fans.
I still respect Cavill so much for his answer to the "toxic fan" question. Great guy, who actually still seems to get the customer base, aka the fans. Propably since he is still playing stuff, enjoying it like other fans do, so he still has a connection. The rest of hollywood for the most part has no idea anymore since they are so disconnected to the daily life of normal people, what they go through or simply what they want. If one of those shills or big coorporations names something toxic, chances are these people are actual fans who just want a good product.
funny isn't it how when films and shows are made from allready set in stone lore it's expected to give the exact lore or else never create it and wonder why soo many hate the destruction of a legacy!
@@antlerr The actually funny thing is that Hollywood believes that things like "we need to reflect the real world" would actually work with fans who love a universe of franchise because they can immerse themselfs in it for a bit in their free time, forget daily life and the issues. It is such a simple concept, and honestly, there was a time when they actually realised it. I am not even sure they believe this nonsense, for me it seems like at least some do understand the concept, and know the concept, it is just the fact that everyone wants to insert certain stuff to not be shunned by the rest of Hollywood that they use these excuses and reasons, but know very well it holds little to no water. And as mentioned in this video, they got the main news and critics to defend them as well. Because they actually need people to defend them, if you only have such bullshit arguments and reasons to destroy something beloved
@@Rakshiir I believe they know what there doing and well to fall on a excuse of to apease there overlords is no excuse, there not allowing Cavill to keep playing the Witcher because he is a fan and wanted to keep it to the lore and cannon, there hiring actors and actresses that have no skill only hire on race sex and religion, the new writters have no skill hence why they never make anything new just destroy what already has been made and made well so there using the old name as a way to sell. Last good movie I seen was the Northman because they made viking's as viking's not bastardization of something in real life set in stone. You are sure hinting to you think I fall for the crud shite that's released today nah I hate movies today there written by kids for kids no thought at all and treat you like needing a hand held guided step by step.
yeah, i think to most fans all these political stuff doesn't matter if they want to include it in but not at the expense of the story, the lore and the characters. henry cavill totally understands that as a fan himself. and the rest of them are not fans, there's no passion. majority of fans respected peter jackson's films because he was a big fan himself and that passion translates and just exudes into his films.
Cannot thank you enough, Gary. Finding you, Az & Drinker saved my cultural sanity. This old-time lefty (who quit his own gang) was yelling at way too many clouds, getting nowhere. You guys are doing the dirty work and heavy lifting that will bring about the eventual death of wokeness. Bless you all.
So...they write an article on you and the first thing they do is attack your physical characteristics. Nothing new for them, I guess, but it's still disgusting. Congrats for getting under their skin so much, though. That's how you know you're over the target and they can't really ignore that anymore.
Very good point. I imagine if Gary called her out on all of her imperfections, she'd lose her mind. Funny how that kind of ridicule and toxicity is ok from her though. 🙄
Projection is at the root of their whole agenda. They have these shitty, "toxic", and racists thoughts. Therfore obviously everyone else must think the same way as them and must follow the ideology to supress those thoughts.
I love the clip involving all of the so-called actors/directors/writers being asked if they are familiar with the original show/book/series and they all just laugh nervously and say "no"...oh, wait, I don't love that, it is depressing.
The "Toxic Fandom" referred to here could just as easily be called "The Fans". In other words, the people that Hollywood once understood needed to be catered to if they wanted to ensure the success of their movie about an old and beloved IP. It _astounds_ me that they and the streaming services cannot seem to figure this out.
Nah, for a child actor that could be good advice, lest they let their own performance be coloured by the games depiction of the character. An actor needs to make the character fit them, not try to copy another's version of the same character. Then you end up with "Lazenby-Bond", an actor playing another actor playing a role.
Some Swedish translation assistance: I read the original Swedish article and it actually doesn't say "cursed", it says "pissed off". The word in Swedish is the same (don't ask) and with added context, Google managed to supply the correct translation later in the article. "Editor Klenell" is likely her own editor. The article also doesn't say Annutar/Sauron looks "too hunky" but rather "too gay". I have no idea how Google messed that up. She says she is "Swedish-ish", probably due to her Finnish surname. We have lots of Finns in Sweden. "Gets him up all the time" means your videos appear in her algorithm all the time. It's interesting that she blames someone else for "making" her defend a show she describes as "mediocre" by a "slave-driving company". Just one more teaspoon of self-awareness might make her realize that she is responsible for her own thoughts. If I tell you that the magazine "Arbetet" means "the Labor" or "the Work", I bet nobody here is surprised these days. Sadly, it's yet another left-leaning publication tricked by pseudo-progressivism.
I don't know any Swedish but I know enough German (as long as it has to do with Nazis) to take a guess at what "Arbetet" meant. I figured it was "The Worker" but I realized I was seeing what you describe: a leftist publication that has lost touch with leftist and liberal (in the American sense) values. It pisses me off because I'm liberal as hell (once again in the American sense) and I'm fine with more representation for women, people of color, trans people, queer people and what have you. But for god's sake I don't want it to happen with ham-fisted messaging and self-congratulatory BS from Hollywood. Shut up and tell the stories! I'm not a moron; I'll get what they're trying to say even if they make it more subtle.
"The article also doesn't say Annutar/Sauron looks "too hunky" but rather "too gay" " Regular white Chads are seen as too gay to small fat 3/10 swedish leftist women with a mole in their face lmao
@@Jucelegario The "too gay" part is her choice of words after seeing Gary's videos. I don't remember him saying that, though. What's strange is that Google translate seems to think "gay" means "hunk".
Once again Gary you are more informed, grounded in reality and on point with the with the "Woke" reimagining of "Established" (IP's and Canon) .... Thanks again for stated what all of us "Real Fans" wish we could "Yell" into the ears of all these woke entertainment execs (Kathleen Kennedy, etc .... !!)
The article is really delightfully ironic! I thought the personal attack on your appearance and age was uncalled for. They always freak out that they don’t want to be judged but the first thing they do with their opponents is to make fun of their appearance. I noticed she did not actually refute any of your arguments that you make in the videos of yours she claims to have watched. Thanks for the video!
Of course she doesn't refute them, because she knows all the shit Gary calls out is, in fact, shit. She even admits this in the article! The only thing she's "tearing her hair out" about is the fact that she disagrees with *WHY* the shit he calls out is shit. She actually makes the argument that Gary's right, but not because the shit changed things in order to be 'Woke,' but because she can personally come up with an argument why doing it the way it's supposed to be could be read as 'even *more* Woke.' What's next: The new ideal of the Feminist Woman being one that's barefoot, pregnant, and cooking her husband a meal? XD
It is ironic that someone that calls herself "progressive" is also ageist, sexist and classist in the same breath. it's almost as their entire illusion of being progressive is totally fake.
@@aulvinduergard9952 this is mind-blowingly confusing. I really enjoy how they admit they were manoeuvred into the position of defending the evil multinational company Amazon by some kind of non-leftist [insert unflattering physical description] like Gary and his subscribers!
@@sigmacademy completely fake! They like to pretend that they believe in progressive ideals, and they can maintain this pretence as long as they think they have the moral high ground and can use their ideals to scold people with different opinions. (“Everyone who hates “Velma” is racist and sexist!”) When they are challenged on anything, however harmless it may be, their instinctive reaction appears to be to attack the appearance of the challenger, then his/her intelligence, and educational level and/or origin. Sometimes they even respond to the actual challenge, but most choose not to, because their opinions and their emotions are often the same and therefore can be difficult to justify. Any challenge they perceive as an attack on their worldview and/or identity (often the same thing for activists). The people who are the least secure and least confident react with the most vehemence eg. The T in LGBT+.
I remember when toxic fans would be fans that come to a franchise wanting to be represented then kicking out original fans while on their annoying crusade
Okay, the syncing of the Ree Girl to Led Zeppelin in the opening was damned perfect. Great video! And I say this as one of the 6.7% women in your audience, so no one can argue with me that this vid is anything less than amazing. (I’m being glib, but as an ACTUAL nerd chick (“I like her!”), I freaking hate everything intersectional and the “woke” posers that go along with this crap.) You’ve nailed it again, dude with glasses.
Your content has lifted the veil that has covered my big ass head for too long. Love these eye opening takes on on the state of pop culture in film and tv. Keep ‘em coming!!
I've watched this video like 6 times and it always makes me smile and nod. We in the "toxic fandoms" (and proud of it💪) like you and support you. You're a hilarious genius, Gary. Keep this fawesome work up, dammit!
This by far is the best clap back! Your edits are exceptional and hilarious, I’m just happy to know there are still people like you fighting big corporations and their agenda filled content. You’re a great inspiration.

@@mr.justinkase7584 don't ya think hooligans would be an example of a real toxic fandom? Complaints about toxic fandoms are super weird, i think the showrunners of Game of thrones managed that very well by just disapearing a couple of months haha
I love how they said "we wiped out the 'there are no elves of color' argument" like we can't just say "no, you didn't, you created fan(if we can even call them fans) fiction and it's not canon."
Simply the fact that they are calling The Rings of Power - The Lord of the Rings is so absurd that if Tolkien could hear this, he would die again in his grave. FFS. Thanks, Ilúvatar, for creators like Nerdrotic; your courage is inspiring.
They still haven't caught on that any publicity they give their opponents, is free publicity for said opponents, and actually allows said opponent to grow in size, because more people learn they exist.
Hah! I don't see anger, I just see a man who's helping me understand the truth of our times. A man who is appropriately frustrated, the way I am. I appreciate this.
Your videos are my entertainment now. They don't stoke a rage. They make me laugh, rather than cry, at the mass destruction and desecration of beloved IP's. Thanks, Gary and crew!
I've worked in the financial industry for 22 years. I have been doing unofficial analyst reports on Fortune 500 companies by analyzing things such as eps, roi, balance sheets and even delving into the board members. When I saw what I saw happening with boards I started looking even deeper. The mass canceling of Major board members based on cis, white males is unprecedented! One such example is Hasbro. We should do a connect about what I discovered with Hasbro.
Here's a funny story about storytelling and woke culture: On 21 July 2021, Takeshi Natsuno, president of publisher Kadokawa(biggest manga publisher), broached the “need to redefine the standards of the Internet age and determine what is acceptable for the public and what is not,” endorsing censorship of more explicit content to appease western norms, and, implicitly, become more in line with American comics. It was met with sharp indignation from fans, mangaka, and even those within the company, who feared that such moves would set a negative precedent for the industry, or for freedom of expression. While Natsuno later apologized after significant pressure, the resistance to such efforts nonetheless illustrates an unwillingness to compromise on what made manga and anime so successful, and repeat the mistakes of their American counterparts. In his apology, Natsuno acknowledged that although he participated in the program in an individual capacity, it was inappropriate of him to say such remarks as the president of the company. He emphasized that his comments have no bearing on the direction of the company. As repentance, he will take a 20% pay cut for three months between August and October. On Twitter, he also apologized for any crude words or profanities he uttered in the program. Now just imagine if something like that happened in the west, our storytelling quality would be unparalleled. Before this era begun we made lord of the rings, game of thrones seasons 1-4, harry potter...Since then we have gotten willows, rings of power, halo, wheel of time and witcher.
Thankfully Japan is based enough to dole out punishment when one who is in charge has a stupid take. Good on Kadakowa for ripping that out of the soil before it could germinate. That's the difference between Japan and here, they don't take that kind of shit. They want MONEY more than empty virtue signals. That's why they survive and the western media and culture is dying a painful, ree-filled death.
No $hit? Probably because I'm not a fan of anime I had not heard this but that is a really interesting story thanks for sharingI had not heard this but that is a really interesting story thanks for sharing
Woke Americans can’t compete with Japanese entertainment, and they are so soycucked that they would rather tear them down and infiltrate their brands and process than step up and win in the market. I hope Japan crushes them out of their cushy jobs until they actually wake up.
I'm a man and I definitely don't have pyramid tits, but I still was able to put myself in the role of Lara Croft. My melanin is a bit lower than Wesley Snipes, yet I was still able to enjoy him and look up to his coolness. Skin color didn't even came up in my mind. I'm much more conscious of skin color and sex since it has become such a problem. I believe Nerds have been a bit smarter about certain stuff since we've existed and whenever I watch all nerd stuff it seems that they've always have tried to be inclusive and open-minded (in context of the time and not always perfect) towards all these problems nowadays. We have to learn about our shortcomings, ignorance and got to grow on our own. I don't think pushing any 'lessons' through shitty writing will make people want to learn. If I was wearing a aluminum hat I'd think they are pushing these things just to reach the opposite and make people hate each other even more. I mean what's gonna happen if they keep pushing? Don't you think that the people who would benefit from opening their mind will grow to even hate 'the others' even more?
Gary, that was an absolute homerun of a video... You're doing the world a favor by your work. It's extraordinarily refreshing to hear honesty and humor in such a damned awesome way as we get from you. Other than my older brother who got me into comics, you're without a doubt, my favorite nerd:-)
That's why the media hate him and those like him. They're realising it's not just a few 'alt right trolls' like they've spewed for years. Many of us aren't even from the US so politics rarely touch our daily radar like they do in Hollywood. The majority of the audience Hollywood had is listening to these guys and all media/Hollywood can do is howl about it or accept the inevitable and give us what we want. So will we see a massive clean out or climb down?
I've always viewed the saying toxic fandom as contradictory cuz being a fan is to have a opinion on something you love and if you're calling people toxic for being fans that usually means that the what you're making it is contrary to the material itself

People passionate about the stories, who demonstrate critical thinking, and respect the opinions of others who disagree. ROCK ON brothers in arms!
I love how how the toxic part of a Fandom is the people voicing problems they had with a series that are objective and can be discussed and not the part of the ReyLo faction that actively threatened Adam Driver's wife for being married to Adam Driver in real life
Can you just imagine the conversation those people had to have, to make sure they all included their pronouns in their screen names? Like a fucking cult password.
“It was the fuck-aroundest of times, it was the find-outest of times.” Great video Gary this was awesome! Just watched the whole thing with my mother and she’s been really interested in your content ever since Rings of Prime (she’s a massive Tolkien fan as well) slowly opening her eyes to the woke bs of Hollywood. Becoming based to entertainment we’re getting regardless of her political affiliation. This analysis was a great way of explaining. Any way I digress, HAIL to the Fellowship, HAIL Nerdrotic!
Dave Chappelle's SNL skit of House of the Dragon roasted it by having everyone related to his characters from the show. If only Charlie Murphy was still alive that would be even better.
They had to create the "Toxic Fandom" or else they would have to admit that nearly 80% of us, don't like their messaging. Which would be a huge blow to their narrative.
Let's just embrace the "Toxic" moniker like The Toxic Avenger as if to say, "We don't care what you call us; we're still going to defend our fandoms, and even if we can't, we're sure as hell gonna Avenge them."
Top Gun Maverick had a few people who did not like it, but no "Toxic Fandom" because the vast majority of people liked it, and no one made any credible claim that the movie disrespected the audience.

Yesterday I watched "The Terrifier 2". I really liked the first part but I didn't really expect much from the second. Somewhere around the 20th minute however something funny happened. I found that I am really enjoying a movie. It was such a long forgotten feeling, like meeting an old frient that you haven't seen for years. It's funny that a silly horror/comedy about a killer clown has more heart to it than anything produced by big studios nowadays combined.
I only read comics from DC nowadays and don't watch many movies or TV but I was excited to hear they were making a She-Hulk show because I'm a big fan of the character. And it starred the great Tatiana Maslany too! Awesome! And then I watched...whatever the fuck that was. I had to go back a read some old She-Hulk comics to get the awful taste out of my mouth.

Lol and this is why Henry Cavill is the hero of our age. When asked about toxic fans he basically said “I don’t think fans are toxic, they are passionate and they love something”. Henry is one of us.
He is literally king of the nerds we should all bow down too him
Why else do you think Warner Brothers canned him?
Between the DnD fandom sticking it to WotC and Henry making his own show, I hope this is the turning point in media that we need in order to put talent and content first and send a message to big corporations that they, in fact, are not too big to fail.
He really is one of us.

Literally.
"Can you just stay loyal to the story with only the minimal changes needed because of the different medium?"
"Stop being so toxic!!"

Toxic fandom= people that grew up with the stories, and care about them, whom won't fall for their brainwashing, and demand good content, whom won't stand by, and watch their childhood heroes ruined, and destroyed, and made out in the end to actually not be great, but be total losers... toxic fandom= those whom make fun of the obvious ridiculousness, the hypocritical race/sex focused nonsense that should indeed be criticized.. for hopes of it being fixed, and made for us, and by us, so they lose the ability to make further crap.
Only true fans should be making all of this stuff... and it's nothing people who couldn't give a shit about making it true to the source material, and care mostly about sending their message.
@jeffrey abrahamse damn that’s an unfortunate name
When every bit of criticism is toxic there can be no criticism
that's the plan
There is an Incredibles reference for everything.
Weird how fandom was NEVER "toxic" until certain groups infiltrated it huh?
I'm sure that that is just a coincidence.
"Coincidence? I think not!" O.O
Yup, pure coincidence 😂
honestly i blame "shippers" from the early 2000's and their ilk and the later 'stans'... loving something is cool but not when it's creepy/weird/obsessive/unhealthy/genuinely off-putting to others.

Dunno why you have to set the bar so low or high as to only consume YT creators or billion dollar companies. There's a middle ground, heard of it? Check it out. Good stuff there, just need to get your head out of your ass by not being a hype-junkie like everyone else.
It just goes to show you can’t just throw money at productions to make them good.

They literally let the craziest most mentally disturbed people run all these shows straight into the ground it's unbelievable.
People who I am sure never picked up a comic book in their life or any fantasy series or even watched a movie that was not filled with political innuendos , now they want to torture us who actually used to love movies with their dumbass ideologies. I mean movies used to be the place one goes to , to get away from reality and the world just for 2-3 hours and now it follows you into the cinemas and even in your damn music. over it
We need to stop interviewing actors and start interviewing writers. Make them the front and centre. And ask them, why you write such crap. And tell them that the unlikeable characters are not because of their race/sexual orientation, but simply because they are poorly written
@@KatoKamakazie2404 The elites want to attack us from all sides. Hyperinflation, grooming kids. And now you can't even go see a good movie to get your mind off things. It's criminal.
They do not know what audience they are trying to reach because *they do not have one!* It makes no sense to hire writers who do not care about the source material. That is why Dragonball: Evolution was a spectacular failure years ago. Sadly, the untalented writers with no regard for source material multiplied and strategized on how to get away with insulting their audience with false defense tactics.
Toxic Fandom is the living embodiment of the 'No, the children are wrong" meme. They can't cope with their own failure.
Which is the same reason Disney almost collapsed the first time.
It reminds me of the toxic avenger and that's fuckin rad
Disney has had boom and bust cycles before, but this time they deserve to lose everything.
@@Attmay The issue is that the only reason they got out of a bust cycle was because they made good things, this time, with the firing of the ones that made the previous boom cycle and their goal of breaking everything from the previous boom cycle, they now need to work twice as hard

Hiring people who aren't familiar with the material to lead projects has got to be one of the most bone headed moves I've seen in a while🤦🏽♂️
Unless you're trying to change the source material and want puppets to go along with you🤷♀
Youre a toxic fan
It's not just that. They hire people that hate the source material. They change the lore, characters, and story to push their own propaganda, often in direct contradiction to the original creator's intent. And when the fans, who became fans because of the original IP, get angry in response to the desecration, they call us racist, sexist, etc. It's a repeated pattern of behavior from these people. It's malevolent intention. Yes, there are a lot of stupid people involved, but stupidity doesn't explain the constant repetition.
The movies and television shows rake in huge profits, so it is what the fans want.
@jan Baer Rings of Power is a massive flop.
Most marvel films post avengers have been box-office flops.
DC films? Flops.
Star Wars stuff? Been flopping post Episode 7.
Disney has been losing money, hence the CEO replacement recently.
Netflix admitted to losing loads of money last quarter.
Hm. Totally sounds like these movies and shows are making any money.
Up until 2016 I have never even heard of the phrase toxic fandom I was already sick of it before but it's just getting ridiculous now every article they somehow never fail to bring that up
Stop being toxic and they'll stop talking about it, incel.
it's like gamergate for gaming
I think the first time I heard it was with Star Wars The Force Awakens. It started out with peoe liking it, but then it slowly started to get hammed on as people realized it was a bad clone of A New Hope, then Trump won and it was everywhere
Like Henry Cavill said, there is no such thing as Toxic Fandom only fans who deserve the source material!
you mean the customers = toxic fandom...
The fact they don't know that we've been critical of our own fandom since we FOUNDED it...tells you what you need to know about "new" fans.

Gary doesn't make the FANS angry. He brings great joy for us all to share. Keep the Nerd 'ish' going my friend!
Yeah, I was going insane over the pile of sh*t that was Rings of Power. All I could find was praise and I got very confused considering it made me scream at my telly in frustration within the first 10 minutes of episode 1. Found his channel and realised, I wasn't alone. I wasn't going insane. I didn't miss something vital.
The only thing that annoys me about Gary is how he pronounces Nerdrotic. He adds an extra syllable into the word that isn’t written, and as a linguist, I hate it so much. As written, it should just be ner-dro-tic.
@Roger Melly Better hope it turns out to be false after such big words.
" Even if sometimes they're not going to sell" That line says it all
Yeah they wanna put out narratives they know only satisfies themselves and not the general audience, then have the audacity to complain when it gets canned.
For those searching for it its at 00:53
Right...cos If they're not going to sell then they clearly are making these movies for themselves and their agenda ...not for fan entertainment
They don't care if it sells or not, they get their money elsewhere, Hollywood is just a huge money laundering scheme.
And that is Ok with small boutique projects, where profit isn't the number 1 motive. But killing legacy characters, either through actually killing, or just wokefying, and costing $Billions is a huge issue, and can't be sustained. For which I am grateful, as it should eventually lead us back to just plain good stories and entertaining movies.
I haven't been in a theatre since ragnarok.
That used to be an issue. The agenda of the Left is insane.
frustration is an authentic emotion that comes from caring about something. no wonder they get riled up about that.

we still do. this dude is wearing glasses as thicccc as the bottom of an 80's coke bottle still making fun of a mole of an human being. Producers are woke, media is biased, content creators are toxic and in the middle us fans.
I still respect Cavill so much for his answer to the "toxic fan" question.
Great guy, who actually still seems to get the customer base, aka the fans.
Propably since he is still playing stuff, enjoying it like other fans do, so he still has a connection.
The rest of hollywood for the most part has no idea anymore since they are so disconnected to the daily life of normal people, what they go through or simply what they want.
If one of those shills or big coorporations names something toxic, chances are these people are actual fans who just want a good product.
He is going on to play a Warhammer 40k space marine... so I'm betting he's actually based.
funny isn't it how when films and shows are made from allready set in stone lore it's expected to give the exact lore or else never create it and wonder why soo many hate the destruction of a legacy!
@@antlerr The actually funny thing is that Hollywood believes that things like "we need to reflect the real world" would actually work with fans who love a universe of franchise because they can immerse themselfs in it for a bit in their free time, forget daily life and the issues.
It is such a simple concept, and honestly, there was a time when they actually realised it.
I am not even sure they believe this nonsense, for me it seems like at least some do understand the concept, and know the concept, it is just the fact that everyone wants to insert certain stuff to not be shunned by the rest of Hollywood that they use these excuses and reasons, but know very well it holds little to no water. And as mentioned in this video, they got the main news and critics to defend them as well. Because they actually need people to defend them, if you only have such bullshit arguments and reasons to destroy something beloved
@@Rakshiir I believe they know what there doing and well to fall on a excuse of to apease there overlords is no excuse, there not allowing Cavill to keep playing the Witcher because he is a fan and wanted to keep it to the lore and cannon, there hiring actors and actresses that have no skill only hire on race sex and religion, the new writters have no skill hence why they never make anything new just destroy what already has been made and made well so there using the old name as a way to sell. Last good movie I seen was the Northman because they made viking's as viking's not bastardization of something in real life set in stone. You are sure hinting to you think I fall for the crud shite that's released today nah I hate movies today there written by kids for kids no thought at all and treat you like needing a hand held guided step by step.
yeah, i think to most fans all these political stuff doesn't matter if they want to include it in but not at the expense of the story, the lore and the characters. henry cavill totally understands that as a fan himself. and the rest of them are not fans, there's no passion. majority of fans respected peter jackson's films because he was a big fan himself and that passion translates and just exudes into his films.
If they used half the energy they use to defend themselves to actually make good shows, everyone would be happy.
Cannot thank you enough, Gary. Finding you, Az & Drinker saved my cultural sanity. This old-time lefty (who quit his own gang) was yelling at way too many clouds, getting nowhere.

It pisses me off so much. The witcher. MCU. Star Wars.. so many franchises ruined
LOTR worked and worked well because Peter Jackson understood the source material. His understanding was something money cant buy.
The "Toxic Fandom" referred to here could just as easily be called "The Fans". In other words, the people that Hollywood once understood needed to be catered to if they wanted to ensure the success of their movie about an old and beloved IP. It _astounds_ me that they and the streaming services cannot seem to figure this out.
"I was advised to not play the game."
When I heard that, the tiny spark of hope that I had for that show was extinguished.
Nah, for a child actor that could be good advice, lest they let their own performance be coloured by the games depiction of the character. An actor needs to make the character fit them, not try to copy another's version of the same character. Then you end up with "Lazenby-Bond", an actor playing another actor playing a role.

Some Swedish translation assistance:
I read the original Swedish article and it actually doesn't say "cursed", it says "pissed off". The word in Swedish is the same (don't ask) and with added context, Google managed to supply the correct translation later in the article. "Editor Klenell" is likely her own editor. The article also doesn't say Annutar/Sauron looks "too hunky" but rather "too gay". I have no idea how Google messed that up. She says she is "Swedish-ish", probably due to her Finnish surname. We have lots of Finns in Sweden. "Gets him up all the time" means your videos appear in her algorithm all the time.
It's interesting that she blames someone else for "making" her defend a show she describes as "mediocre" by a "slave-driving company". Just one more teaspoon of self-awareness might make her realize that she is responsible for her own thoughts. If I tell you that the magazine "Arbetet" means "the Labor" or "the Work", I bet nobody here is surprised these days. Sadly, it's yet another left-leaning publication tricked by pseudo-progressivism.
I don't know any Swedish but I know enough German (as long as it has to do with Nazis) to take a guess at what "Arbetet" meant. I figured it was "The Worker" but I realized I was seeing what you describe: a leftist publication that has lost touch with leftist and liberal (in the American sense) values. It pisses me off because I'm liberal as hell (once again in the American sense) and I'm fine with more representation for women, people of color, trans people, queer people and what have you. But for god's sake I don't want it to happen with ham-fisted messaging and self-congratulatory BS from Hollywood. Shut up and tell the stories! I'm not a moron; I'll get what they're trying to say even if they make it more subtle.
Arbetet is not "left-leaning", it's hard core communist!

The article is really delightfully ironic! I thought the personal attack on your appearance and age was uncalled for.

I noticed she did not actually refute any of your arguments that you make in the videos of yours she claims to have watched.
Thanks for the video!
Of course she doesn't refute them, because she knows all the shit Gary calls out is, in fact, shit. She even admits this in the article! The only thing she's "tearing her hair out" about is the fact that she disagrees with *WHY* the shit he calls out is shit. She actually makes the argument that Gary's right, but not because the shit changed things in order to be 'Woke,' but because she can personally come up with an argument why doing it the way it's supposed to be could be read as 'even *more* Woke.'
What's next: The new ideal of the Feminist Woman being one that's barefoot, pregnant, and cooking her husband a meal? XD

@@sigmacademy completely fake! They like to pretend that they believe in progressive ideals, and they can maintain this pretence as long as they think they have the moral high ground and can use their ideals to scold people with different opinions. (“Everyone who hates “Velma” is racist and sexist!”) When they are challenged on anything, however harmless it may be, their instinctive reaction appears to be to attack the appearance of the challenger, then his/her intelligence, and educational level and/or origin. Sometimes they even respond to the actual challenge, but most choose not to, because their opinions and their emotions are often the same and therefore can be difficult to justify.
Any challenge they perceive as an attack on their worldview and/or identity (often the same thing for activists). The people who are the least secure and least confident react with the most vehemence eg. The T in LGBT+.

I've worked in the financial industry for 22 years. I have been doing unofficial analyst reports on Fortune 500 companies by analyzing things such as eps, roi, balance sheets and even delving into the board members. When I saw what I saw happening with boards I started looking even deeper. The mass canceling of Major board members based on cis, white males is unprecedented! One such example is Hasbro. We should do a connect about what I discovered with Hasbro.
Here's a funny story about storytelling and woke culture:
On 21 July 2021, Takeshi Natsuno, president of publisher Kadokawa(biggest manga publisher), broached the “need to redefine the standards of the Internet age and determine what is acceptable for the public and what is not,” endorsing censorship of more explicit content to appease western norms, and, implicitly, become more in line with American comics. It was met with sharp indignation from fans, mangaka, and even those within the company, who feared that such moves would set a negative precedent for the industry, or for freedom of expression. While Natsuno later apologized after significant pressure, the resistance to such efforts nonetheless illustrates an unwillingness to compromise on what made manga and anime so successful, and repeat the mistakes of their American counterparts.
In his apology, Natsuno acknowledged that although he participated in the program in an individual capacity, it was inappropriate of him to say such remarks as the president of the company. He emphasized that his comments have no bearing on the direction of the company. As repentance, he will take a 20% pay cut for three months between August and October. On Twitter, he also apologized for any crude words or profanities he uttered in the program.
Now just imagine if something like that happened in the west, our storytelling quality would be unparalleled. Before this era begun we made lord of the rings, game of thrones seasons 1-4, harry potter...Since then we have gotten willows, rings of power, halo, wheel of time and witcher.
Thankfully Japan is based enough to dole out punishment when one who is in charge has a stupid take. Good on Kadakowa for ripping that out of the soil before it could germinate. That's the difference between Japan and here, they don't take that kind of shit. They want MONEY more than empty virtue signals. That's why they survive and the western media and culture is dying a painful, ree-filled death.
Japan still understands the concept of honor. I don't think America has for a couple of decades at least.
No $hit? Probably because I'm not a fan of anime I had not heard this but that is a really interesting story thanks for sharingI had not heard this but that is a really interesting story thanks for sharing
Western culture frowns upon taking responsibility and being accountible for your actions.
Woke Americans can’t compete with Japanese entertainment, and they are so soycucked that they would rather tear them down and infiltrate their brands and process than step up and win in the market. I hope Japan crushes them out of their cushy jobs until they actually wake up.
I’m so toxic 😂
It's a badge of honor now.
To call people that grew up on an IP and love it dear and heartly and dont want it to be put into bullshit is passion and love, never toxcicity!
I'm a man and I definitely don't have pyramid tits, but I still was able to put myself in the role of Lara Croft. My melanin is a bit lower than Wesley Snipes, yet I was still able to enjoy him and look up to his coolness. Skin color didn't even came up in my mind. I'm much more conscious of skin color and sex since it has become such a problem. I believe Nerds have been a bit smarter about certain stuff since we've existed and whenever I watch all nerd stuff it seems that they've always have tried to be inclusive and open-minded (in context of the time and not always perfect) towards all these problems nowadays.
We have to learn about our shortcomings, ignorance and got to grow on our own. I don't think pushing any 'lessons' through shitty writing will make people want to learn. If I was wearing a aluminum hat I'd think they are pushing these things just to reach the opposite and make people hate each other even more. I mean what's gonna happen if they keep pushing? Don't you think that the people who would benefit from opening their mind will grow to even hate 'the others' even more?
Moley moley moley moley was waiting for that one
Gary, that was an absolute homerun of a video... You're doing the world a favor by your work. It's extraordinarily refreshing to hear honesty and humor in such a damned awesome way as we get from you. Other than my older brother who got me into comics, you're without a doubt, my favorite nerd:-)
That's why the media hate him and those like him. They're realising it's not just a few 'alt right trolls' like they've spewed for years. Many of us aren't even from the US so politics rarely touch our daily radar like they do in Hollywood. The majority of the audience Hollywood had is listening to these guys and all media/Hollywood can do is howl about it or accept the inevitable and give us what we want. So will we see a massive clean out or climb down?
@@tkps both I reckon
I've always viewed the saying toxic fandom as contradictory cuz being a fan is to have a opinion on something you love and if you're calling people toxic for being fans that usually means that the what you're making it is contrary to the material itself
Imagine those entitled producers having self-awareness.
Media: "trust the experts!"
Unless it's a fandom where the fans are the experts, it seems
"We learned all the theories at university" vs "We read a huge bunch of literature" - one of these groups has student loans to pay off
@@stoneymahoney9106 You also have students who are authentic fans. But those usually studied something useful and pay their loans off by WORKING, not by corrupting themselves in the access media
The "experts": *Makes The Rings of Power and Velma*
"Toxic Fandom" is what puts bread on these self absorbed Hollywood egos tables. Woke amounts to Terrible stories.
LOVE the intro! That's a lesson in superb editing right there ;) Thankfully, I've found my "representation" in channels such as; Nerdrotic, Overlord DVD, Disparu, the Critical Drinker, and RazorFist-- just to name a few. People passionate about the stories, who demonstrate critical thinking, and respect the opinions of others who disagree. ROCK ON brothers in arms!
I love how how the toxic part of a Fandom is the people voicing problems they had with a series that are objective and can be discussed and not the part of the ReyLo faction that actively threatened Adam Driver's wife for being married to Adam Driver in real life
Say what now...? They threatened his wife? Dafuq
Thanks uncle nerdrotic. This videos are PURE GOLD
toxic fandom= excuse for writers to blame others for their failure
Nerdrodic should have over 1 million subscribers. Truly premium content delivery 👌🏽
He should be the president of all countries.
Can you just imagine the conversation those people had to have, to make sure they all included their pronouns in their screen names? Like a fucking cult password.
Toxic fandom= making them stay true to the story and quit changing things just to get at people
I’ve never laughed this hard being “angry” in my life! 😂
“It was the fuck-aroundest of times, it was the find-outest of times.”
Great video Gary this was awesome! Just watched the whole thing with my mother and she’s been really interested in your content ever since Rings of Prime (she’s a massive Tolkien fan as well) slowly opening her eyes to the woke bs of Hollywood. Becoming based to entertainment we’re getting regardless of her political affiliation. This analysis was a great way of explaining. Any way I digress, HAIL to the Fellowship, HAIL Nerdrotic!
We must share this everywhere on every social media out there, stick it up to them !
Thank you Gary. This is one of your best videos yet!
Nothing but respect to you! Your channel is a breath of fresh air in difficult times
Dave Chappelle's SNL skit of House of the Dragon roasted it by having everyone related to his characters from the show. If only Charlie Murphy was still alive that would be even better.
R.I.P. Charlie Murphy
They had to create the "Toxic Fandom" or else they would have to admit that nearly 80% of us, don't like their messaging. Which would be a huge blow to their narrative.
Let's just embrace the "Toxic" moniker like The Toxic Avenger as if to say, "We don't care what you call us; we're still going to defend our fandoms, and even if we can't, we're sure as hell gonna Avenge them."
Top Gun Maverick had a few people who did not like it, but no "Toxic Fandom" because the vast majority of people liked it, and no one made any credible claim that the movie disrespected the audience.
Right on Gary. They are so oblivious they can't see the truth of authenticity!!!
well said sir! well played.....i tune into your channel for reality and the fact you speak for all of us who grew and up and actually love these comics, these characters, these movies, these books that it seems current writers are on a mission to rewrite or destroy.
they want to destoy the ips so A. a buddy can buy it for cheap or B. take it to the blockchain forever copyright or C. want to look cool by using the ip's...kamakazi
A part of Marxism is to destroy art, entertainment, and especially escapism…the wokes won’t stop until they are in towers lording over us “toxic fans”…Read a book called “The Naked Communist”
The more I learn about Nerdrotic's personal history, the more respect I have for him.
McDonald’s pitch meeting : “Let’s replace strawberry milkshakes with…shit milkshakes?”. Er, you mean “shit-flavoured”, right Dean? “Yeah yeah: shit-flavoured…you’re right : we probably cant use real shit …right?”
Yesterday I watched "The Terrifier 2". I really liked the first part but I didn't really expect much from the second. Somewhere around the 20th minute however something funny happened. I found that I am really enjoying a movie. It was such a long forgotten feeling, like meeting an old frient that you haven't seen for years.
It's funny that a silly horror/comedy about a killer clown has more heart to it than anything produced by big studios nowadays combined.
I only read comics from DC nowadays and don't watch many movies or TV but I was excited to hear they were making a She-Hulk show because I'm a big fan of the character. And it starred the great Tatiana Maslany too! Awesome! And then I watched...whatever the fuck that was. I had to go back a read some old She-Hulk comics to get the awful taste out of my mouth.
What you think of the bedroom scene? 💀
Call it the "Maverick Effect": That feeling you get early on in a movie where you find yourself surprised that you're actually _enjoying_ a film made after 2015.
@@skorpiontamer OMG, it was beautiful :D.
!!!ATTENTION!!!
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
The face she made when he broke her arm and cut it off. The way that she became less and less human and more of a living corpse with every cut and slash Art made!!!
Beautiful...
And a cherry on top: when the mother came into the bedroom and the daughter came to life barelly holding together to the mother's terror and absolute shock with Art laughing at her. Cheeky little smart-aleck. He pulled such a prank on them both :D.
This movie has a realy great message: Stay positive, no matter the circumstances. Some people nowadays could really use that lesson, sheesh.
Edit: Minor semantic mistake
Hey I would suggest if I may that you get into the world of Japanimation, the really good stuff mind you the adult Japanimation. Check out evangelion, claymore, mushi, samurai champloo, ghost in the shell etc etc .oh and the bests are Paprika, Princess Mononoki and on and on. Western animation is crap (disney dc etc) and they are identity politics and woke but Japan is so sick, check it out I am trying to get into the voice acting side of that and I am not that hopeful but I am trying. Peace I hope to hear back from you.
Glad your channel is growing like a beast,you deserve it
Might be the inner child in me but everytime the mole scene came up I couldn't stop laughing 😂
Toxic fandom equates with studio stupidity. They usually go hand in hand.
Anytime the woke get pounded it fills my heart with warmth . 😁
That's why we subscribed, right? ^^
What is "woke"?
@@Phase52012 leftist ideology, intersectionality etc.
@@raskolnikov6443 - thats nice and vague. everytime I ask the question, thats the response. again; What is "woke"?
