  1. ngl, chaning how we score the readyness to how we r gonna do it for now on, seems amazing. giving the person time to grow, but still holding them accountable (like.. "imalexx" and "codyco" most likely would score so fkn low, even tho it took them a while, but as well as collen balinger, because of how fkn quick that shit was ready)

  2. IPOS's apology can be summed up as: "I'm sorry that even though I was basically right about every single thing, I could have been a bit more clear about how right I was. But I was obviously still right."

  3. It was apology enough for me that his next release was a high effort high quality six hour doc on the life and career of John Waters. Nobody got hurt but him, and his next video was a banger. Job done.

  4. Nah imma be real the concept of this video is just weird. "Apology Cop" – You're gonna be the iDubbz of… apology videos?
    It just viscerally reminds me of a reddit thread I was linked. There was a video of a woman bawling in the street and all of the Redditors were debating the sincerity of her emotions. "You can't see any tears! She's faking!" Stuff like that.
    That's not to say IPoS is a woman bawling in the street, or even justified.
    But what's the logical conclusion of this series if it continues?
    Get that fedora, boi. You'll be a Redditor soon enough.

  5. Isaiah/Wendigoon is the one who most DESERVES an apology from him, but he never mentions him by name. Instead he just gaslights his audience into thinking his original claims weren’t as insane as they actually were.

  6. 11:17 – "bizzare gun ownership"

    How is gun ownership bizzare? The united state is quite literally founded on and by blood and guns. What a regarded statement. That original video he created was some of the most assanine radical leftist BS ever. For no reason. Dude needs to chill out with the radical shit.

  7. I feel like he very much has a bias when it comes to people who are christian and gun owners. Especially with him being gay, gun owners and christians in Appalachia can be prejudiced again LGBT people, or have damaging far-right views. But that doesn’t mean they all are? I have met many lovely accepting people in Appalachia, many amazing towns and small communities, people who run camp rounds and manage trails, all have never been anything but kind even with me being very obviously and openly queer. Creating animosity between both of those groups only makes issues Worse. Immediately assuming someone is a bigot, racist, and general a horrible person just because they are gun owners or are evangelical is absurd. Once again, I totally get it as a queer person myself. I still feel on guard due to past experiences, but I try hard to not let those feelings control how I treat those people. And I absolutely would never make a callout video because I don’t like that they talk about God and own guns.

  8. If you’re going to make a video critiquing someone regardless of if they’re a good or bad person, it doesn’t seem fair to say things like “he may have insert claim but I don’t remember”. You’re making the video, do the research in order to back the claim or leave it out.

  9. My main issue with IPOS explanation of racism in apalachia is that he explained it poorly.

    If he said "you could walk into any antique shop and see minstrel iconography/"whites only" signs/etc" it'd make more sense since many in liberal areas would not display that for sale openly. I live in one of the most liberal parts of the USA and you can still find caricatures of natives in antique stores. That's just an american thing.

    Some parts of the USA are most definitely more racist, its just not always going to be apparent unless you're either black or certain topics of conversation come up.

  10. My only issue is you didn't call out the fact he was talking like the storm was what caused the bad video. Buddy Helene just happened that video was 5 months ago why are you connecting the two besides people saying they hope you died?

    This is a personal issue considering I also here where the storm hit
