Reading through the whole thing, I was hoping that arby was a troll trying to bait out funny responses, but he really is just a kid. I'm not gonna pretend that I was a smart poster when I was 16-17 but most of his arguing really was in line with a high school mentality. The idea that higher powers are just working against you is classic in that high school atmosphere, like the administration being "the man" (or in this case the 'hivemind') and the fellow students (leafy fans) the oppressed, seemingly open minded populous. No amount of arguing or facts would have changed it. Just another classic internet fight where the party in the wrong (and trust me, if you sit down and look at leafy's content, its shit) refused to budge and accepted itself as being close-minded and stagnant. Really in the end we knew he wasn't going to change but hey, it was at least a little entertaining to read.
serious adult word of advice cause I know you're reading this, get those anger issues dealt with. I have a lot of personal anger issues myself but I'm self aware about it enough to actually understand how to control myself. I'd have been totally kosher with you after all of this had you not decided to do everything you've done
like what, take a bit of criticism and take dumb immature jokes
and I'm not taking it to steam, that's not my thing. Taking shit into other threads where it shouldn't be, let alone PM's and steam profiles is creepy and legitimately not cool.
I feel like I'm missing something here, because it seems to me kind of hypocritical to dislike Leafy for harassing and bullying people but still cheer iDubbbz on. iDubbbz has made videos making fun of little kids begging on the internet for money to buy a computer and awkward nerds trying to jumpstart a youtube superstar career, he has absolutely no qualms about shitting on the little guy.
Now that's not to say that iDubbbz is horrible and that everyone who likes him is horrible, but this faculty of his for pointing and laughing at losers and being "toxic" is a faculty he shares with Leafy. This isn't even a criticism of iDubbbz, he says right upfront that he's fine with bullying, so he's not taking the moral highground or holding a double standard, but it's odd that his fans will do that for him despite this.
If you like iDubbbz and hate Leafy, that's fine, but don't do it because iDubbbz is a youtube vigilante speaking truth to power while Leafy is a vicious bully, do it because iDubbbz is witty and confident while Leafy is a human weasel that can't tell jokes.

You have to understand the context though.
iDubbbz Kickstarter Crap videos more often than not dont really do that. Part of it is personal insults, but the whole video topic is centered squarely around the kickstarter/indiegogo project they're trying to shill and how its shit. Leafy is different, he goes for straight character assassination. Leafy attacking for bully's sake, iDubbbz is attacking those people because they're trying to be cheapskates with shitty scam projects.

He's still viewing the thread so he's here with us in spirit
Alright Fuck Knuckles. Parties over. Anymore off topic BS gets a ban. Anymore Arby's BS gets a ban. Straighten the Fuck Up.

I don't know, to me it feels like iDubbbz often goes after people who are just genuinely dumb and naive, and not necessarily scam artists. And even if iDubbbz is more focused on criticizing people's actions instead of the people themselves, personal attacks are still undeniably part of it and he's still putting their stupid mugs up on the internet for millions of people to laugh at. I can't see how that isn't motivated, at least in part, by typical petty schadenfreude.
Ooh boy! tasty Youtube drama and Facepunch! this week just keeps getting better.
besides that ian could destroy leafy if he dug up old leafy gameplay vids.
fair warning that this is a 2014 video of leafy so pretty heavy with the cringe.

Again, even then, the reason he goes after them, and the content of those videos, is primarily and almost exclusively BECAUSE of their kickstarter/indiegogo project, not the individual. He doesnt directly attack them, he attacks the project because of how shit it is. Some cases he does, but those cases are usually because the project is about the individual and not a product (that one beatbox moron)
man I was honestly kinda sad he was gonna make a followup coz I was convinced it was just gonna drag this shit out but fuck
that was as good as the original

Judging by his Twitter, he's either not aware of the video or not going to.

Well I was gonna pull the wayback machine out to see if it'd show it, but their snapshot is weird. Googling that entire string of text shows you to a "roleplay.me" website that shows someone who made some sorta idubbbztv account and their description was the same Arby's related thing. Also said last visited on August 3rd, 2016. Chances are, his description has been that since at least a month. Probably coincidence. Gonna keep looking into it because conspiracy

If Leafy responds to this video, I'm legit considering getting some popcorn before sitting down and watching it.
