Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

[FitzTheRuke]

Popcorn and whisky then!

Sounds like my kind of good time! (The popcorn and whisky. You won't catch me dead watching the video!)

I'm sure there are other genres of YouTube that suffer similar problems and patterns, but D&D/TTRPGs seems to be a perfect storm of lots of people having material to make solid, interesting, and unobjectionable content for a couple years, only to then have to let their channel die off or turn to the dark side of raking non-existant muck for clicks.

I promise you it’s every fandom. I’d actually say D&D is kinda mild compared to some of them. The Star Wars fandom on YouTube is way worse.

Oh yeah, for sure. If I ranked geek fandoms by order of awfulness, D&D doesn't even make it to the Top Five.

Spoiler: Off-Topic: CNN's Top Five Terrible Fandoms

The five absolute worst (most toxic, most annoying, most unfriendly, etc.) geek fandoms, according to me, are:
5. Star Trek
4. Harry Potter
3. Dr. Who
2. Marvel
1. Star Wars

Poor Bob! He makes great content, and is one of the people encouraging less click-baity content. I get it if you don't watch YouTube content (I dislike a lot of it) but I find his stuff to be oddly relaxing and sort of homespun. To each their own, of course.

He is still peddling DCC in his members only section. If its WotC, all 'scandals' are good to burn them, monetize and push Shadowdark. If it's a game and publisher he really likes, the moral elastic is very long. Double standards.

I for one am SHOCKED at Snarf Zagyg's latest rant about the scandals with Daggerheart! You won't believe the third one!!!

I for one can't believe the audacity of soviet's reaction to Snarf's reaction to the reactions of others about something something something.

It looked similar, a little better than, the dm's guild license.

Rick and Morty should be on there.

Anime as a whole isn't terribly bad, but my understanding is that My Hero Academia has a specifically bad fandom.

Glee would be there a couple years ago, but I'm guessing that's taking care of itself now.

WWE/wrestling is a pretty gnarly group.

And the list absolutely would not be complete without calling out the Ms. Rachel fandom. You couldn't pay me enough to go to a convention filled with those fans. Because they're all toddlers. Terrible manners and hygiene across the board. I'd hang out with the Bluey crowd, though.

Well, we were talking about YouTube. People in person are very different.

I'll have to take your word for it. I made it halfway through S1:E1 and decided it wasn't for me.
