they should contact jace and get him to write and star in his own TV show
[QUOTE=Tudd;51484312]Well that's more dark/bad humor than secret Alt-right messages.[/QUOTE]
They definitely were censored to some degree. The Jews Rule skit was renamed to Jews Rock as well.
[QUOTE=Simplemac3;51484317]Fair enough I guess. There's no telling who the source is if it's actually proven the writer of the article has a grudge[/QUOTE]
Oh he got assblasted honestly.

He is totally holding a grudge after that twitter meltdown.
What a shame. The show was fucking gold. Especially this bit:

Usually hard to find sources on a twitter war, besides the video and tweets are captures you can verify yourself.

Sam claims bernstein lied about the swastikas.

Direct source works great, thank you.
Having watched the show. I didn't see no swastikas as far as I can tell.
Lmao I still can't believe there are people who honestly think Sam Hyde is the evil school shooter alt right monster the memes make him out to be
Then again this is SH

I still think it's weird people don't know Sam Hyde is unabashedly alt-right, like do any of you actually watch his stand up, verticals, see him hanging out with Weev, and think "Oh well it's all a ruse!" I'm completely fine with him being alt-right because it's what makes him so funny, but it's weird to see people now trying to politicize him for their own means.
I think [AS] was backed into a corner on this one. I'd have loved to see a second season of World Peace but I can see why they "had" to cancel it. It still sucks, even if MDE is the definition of hit and miss. They've definitely done and said some stupid shit before, and would continue to do so, but so have most people at [AS]. Bowing to political pressure like this is dumb when it's all comedy anyway, it's not as though Hyde and company is using MDE as a legit platform for their political views. Then again, if it's true that MDE tries to pander to the alt-right slice of their fanbase, then there's blame on both fronts.
How are they not ok with this but they are ok with the" Seth McFarlane shitty TV block" that they've been shoving down our throats every night for the last 10 years
[QUOTE=rolfum;51484389]Honestly no matter how "alt right" it is, I'd expect it to be alot better than the Seth McFarlane shitty TV hour that they shove down our throats every night[/QUOTE]
There's been way more questionable shit in Family Guy than World Peace in my opinion
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;51484279]It's about the group, if you read the article the rage inside the company was around before it even made it to air because of the associations MDE has[/QUOTE]
basically sam hyde had a long history of agitating both clinton supporters and bernie before it, hence the probable resentment in the self described "extreme left" group.
I don't take "alt right" labels seriously anymore, as it is such a vaguely defined term. People on here think its a code word for white nationalist (despite other groups also chucked under the alt-right banner being downright hostile and disruptive to actual WN groups), other people think its neocons, while actual neocons think they are nihilistic teenager sociopaths, and just about every other descriptor that isn't "democrat" or "liberal". It is so completely meaningless.
If the implication is that they are secretly KKK grandwizards because they made fun of Jewish tribalism (and the actual skit I have in mind was incredibly subtle and not at all in bad taste) this will just be another footnote in the long event list of entertainment industry Jews displaying an neurotic sensitivity to being made fun of. In the short time that the show was on air, it parodied a wide range of topics including inane ones such as PUA culture, talent shows and powerlifters.
[QUOTE=27X;51484180]ahahaaaa
They poked at "militia insurgency experts" for YEARS, did anyone at Williams watch a single damn episode?
So because they made fun of Wu they are 'alt-right' aka borderline Neo-Nazis.
Insulation will never not make people completely fucking stupid.[/QUOTE]
They never do. If the press claimed that drinking bleach was healthy, then they would immediately drink it. It's good for MDE to remain distanced from people who are devoid of critical thought.
[QUOTE=plunger435;51484256]Which Wu did they make fun of? Are you trying to somehow bring Gamergate into something completely unrelated to it for no reason?[/QUOTE]
Look for Jace Connors and Deagle nation
People thought it was legit for almost 7 years before someone so accidently found out it was a ruse.

Pretending ParkourDude91 and Gamergate is the reason MDE is portrayed as Alt-Right is just disingenuous though.
I have a feeling the majority of people talking about Sam Hyde and MDE watched the Ted Talk and World Peace only.
Eh, Adult Swim caters to very weird shit a lot of the time, but Sam Hyde aims at weird shit that is [I]as controversial as possible[/I], and it isn't surprising that a TV network decided to cut ties.
From what I watched, the show was just okay. Some good skits, some really not good ones.
[quote]This was about letting a different point of view, a voice that was upending things in a crazy, new, way, have a shot. That TED talk was funny. If you watch the show we produced, it’s not an alt-right speak piece.[/quote]
its almost like they saw that one video and nothing else
why didnt they cancel it for being painfully unfunny
[QUOTE=mchapra;51484723]why didnt they cancel it for being painfully unfunny[/QUOTE]
Because humor is subjective
I found it to be pretty golden at times
Good riddance. Not even for any neo-nazi affiliations, it was just a terrible show. Use the time slot for something of actual quality.

Parkourdude91 wasnt even an MDE thing, just the guy doing it had links with MDE and featured in some skits before
MDE WP wasnt even """alt right""", im surprised Hyde was able to say nigger uncensored on tv but thats maybe the only discrepancy i saw out of the whole show
bit eh that a show comes along to challenge beliefs on either side of the political spectrum and ppl within [as] want it shut down like eric andre who i love but he should of let it slide

dont get me wrong hyde can be pretty stupid at times and very offensive but wp was tame compared to his other work

Jace/Jan Rankowski is completely unrelated to this situation, given that Jan split off from MDE to make his own group (Wizdumgun) and has recently been making videos and tweets making fun of the alt-right.

The term alt right just ends up being a tool for motte and bailey style bullshit. You call someone alt right, go around saying alt right people are white supremacists and then when someone says they arent alt because they arent a white supremacist people just go "oh alt right is more than white supremacy".

Same goes for pretty much any political pejorative. I've been called an SJW, libtard, globalist, neoliberal, even just a "liberal" (as a pejorative), and it's meaningless.
Alt-right is a new catch-phrase pejorative. Neocons was an older one. Always existed, always have, they just change names now and then.

I dislike the alt right and most of the things the various groups under that umbrella advocate but I do feel its become a sort of shame thing. Like when someone calls someone alt right (or sjw) its not so much a statement of fact as it is a "don't talk to this guy, he's one of those alt rights".
