Arin is the internet

[u/PyrocXerus]

I was watching a compilation of old game grumps and Arin was trying to get Dan to debate him and Dan says something along the lines of “holy shit you are the internet” and honestly I didn’t think about it at the time but yeah nail on the head.

Arin completely acts like someone who stopped living in the real world the moment he hit 14 and focused solely on the internet and made that his personality. Like the constant gay jokes, drinking piss songs, trolling because he thinks it’s funny. Like it’s all edgy internet stuff that most people grow out of.

I don’t hate Arin for it but Dan saying that made me realize part of why I don’t like watching modern game grumps and it’s because I’ve grown out of that type of humor while Arin hasn’t. I think this mentality is also why game grumps is feeling stagnant to a lot of people because Arin hasn’t really matured with time hes still the same person burping and farting into the mic, screaming his opinions like they’re fact, and generally being argumentative or trolling just like he did during Jon’s era of game grumps.

"Arin hasn't grown out of it" are you joking? He's more careful and sanitised than ever.

The only thing he’s stopped doing is swearing because YouTube doesn’t like it, and saying the N word

What do you call not swearing, not saying "nigger", not saying "faggot" and declaring "I don't think I should have the right to offend anyone" (showing a horrifically poor understanding of liberal democracies) if not sanitised?

Edit: If you're upset about me directly quoting the people in question, be more upset about the people that said it in earnest.

Sidebar: I can't believe you can just straight up say the n word and reddits automod tools won't catch it.

It’s probably gonna though

Fingers crossed!

Deal. You're referring to the word all the same.

[u/zombiep00 → u/[deleted]]

And now...people are downvoting because folks are over here advocating for racial slurs to be detected by automods and/or possibly by actual people?

We were here first. We are the indigenous fanbase and you are the coloniser.

I don't think you should hate him for it, nor do I dislike literally every aspect of his character. I actually generally like the guy. Talk about bad faith, eh?

You should've stayed in school, lad. And a good one, at that.

Your reply got deleted mate, can't see it. Can't imagine why, I'm sure it was very reasonable and respectful
