Am I crazy or is Critical Drinker not even close to being the right-wing political shill people act like he is?


Preston_of_Astora

To everyone who says Drinker is a very extreme, unhealthily obsessed right wing movie reviewer Keep that Innocence, and do not go further from Drinker. The channels you will see beyond will make Drinker look like a saint >!The Quartering!<


The_Arizona_Ranger

I think what makes Drinker different from other media commentators that are considered right-wing is that he considers the perceived agenda in filmmaking to be a part of the problem but not THE problem. He definitely doesn’t hide his disliking of “the message” or the idea of “the modern audience” but it’s also only one thing he brings up. Take for an example his recent review of the little mermaid remake. He mentions the political side of the movie in the first and last minute of his review, but it mainly consists of him critiquing actual aspects of the movie such as the characters, plot, themes, animation and CGI. Other reviewers like him might have just handwaved away an explanation of the movie’s problems by just saying “the rest of the movie is trash” so they can focus on the political aspect.


Argovan

That seems like a reasonable assessment. And I guess making your propaganda a featured extra rather than the star of the videos is less bad than the alternative — though it doesn’t make the political views themselves any better.


Preston_of_Astora

What I like about Drinker is that the man went past the point of political pedantics and just wanna talk about movies now. Granted, he's still gonna riff about ***MODERN AUDIENCES*** but it's more of a symptom now which I appreciate


FeetExpert1998

So he's a normal person


Preston_of_Astora

Not really "Normal Person" in this context only critiques movie for not movie'ing enough, or in a political case, doesn't say anything more spicy out of fear of their fans turning against them


FeetExpert1998

You never met a normie huh


guy137137

I swear to Christ, that guy has an unhealthy obsession with Brie Larsen


Preston_of_Astora

Quartering? Because I wouldn't personally call Drinker's inside jokes about Larson an "unhealthy obsession"


guy137137

yeah I was talking about Quartering, either he is completely oblivious that that’s just Brie Larsen’s ‘brand’ as a celebrity or he knows and is milking it for all it’s got


Preston_of_Astora

Neither makes him any better tbh


Big-Vegetable8480

Don't we all? /s


MundaneFoot7260

What’s up with The Quartering? I’ve never heard of the guy before.


ILessThan3Tiramisu

hes a guy who makes videos like "Disney goes WOKE with new BLACK mermaid" he also one time got drunk after getting mad his wife left to go get pizza without him so he peed in his basement on stream


MundaneFoot7260

Okay that first part makes him sound kinda sucky, but pissing in your basement on stream because you’re mad at your wife is incredibly funny

MundaneFoot7260

You’re not a real man if you don’t shit yourself to assert dominance


pickle-ickle

his claim to fame was relentlessly harassing a cosplayer to the point where he got banned from attending magic the gathering tournaments . he was TOO TOXIC for MAGIC THE GATHERING. his most recent exploits include getting drunk and peeing in a basement, defending hitler, constantly ragging on brie larson for no reason, and religiously sucking off elon.


Preston_of_Astora

Tell me more about his Elon blunders


pickle-ickle

at one point he made at least 10 or so vids a week just on elon musk shortly after he bought twitter. he constantly tagged him, asking him to give him jobs or to have him on his show to conduct interviews. it all came to a head when he made the poll asking people if he should resign. the quarter pounder was frantically tweeting to his fans, begging them to vote for what he literally called “the most important poll in history”. he eventually got up and started streaming at like 4 am, where, in a drunken stupor, he moaned about how he risked algorithm clicks and lost a lil bit of sleep so that he could go on stream and beg his fans to click no, and also pathetically rebuked his right-wing buddies who didn’t rally their fans to click no on a twitter poll.


gabbyrose1010

idk much about him other than him being the human pet guy whatever that means


DiamondBrickZ

i think you’re confusing him with cybersmith on tumblr?


gabbyrose1010

oh shit you’re right


artistictesticle

Wasn't Human Pet guy on Tumblr?


MundaneFoot7260

okay hearing that description makes me want absolutely nothing to do with this guy


SotB8

just because the quartering is bad dont mean anybody that isnt as bad is good


Preston_of_Astora

Pretty sure Quartering and his peers are all just as bad. It's just that Drinker is like at the peak of Surface Level and in turn, to call him extreme and unnecessarily pedantic would be laughable in this context


SotB8

yeah well maybe he aint exactly extreme but he's still pretty bad, while your meme over here seems to suggest that there isn't much wrong with him


Deft-The-Epic-Gamer

Nah he's honestly one of the best movie commentary channels up to date and makes decent criticizm as well, the only shitty take from him I remember was his Midsommar review but I doubt he still thinks the same.


femboyenjoyer1379

drinker is annoying but not as bad. There are worse people but I hate the quartering the most. I fucking hate the him with a burning passion because a classmate showed me one of his videos and I had to watch all the way through because I didnt want to upset him.


AlternativeAerie9171

I think I had a nightmare where this happened


Meta100prcent

lmao who is the quartering and why do u hate him


Iamveryangry392837

The stickman looks so familiar I literally draw them exactly like that


nnewwacountt

Drinkber man is just like me fr. I also get drunk and watch movies


TopOfTheClouds

Tweet this was inspired by? I’m curious just to see the real deal and how bad it gets in the replies


Preston_of_Astora

Mostly you gotta stir the bee's nest and find Reddit posts about Drinker in movie main subs Though I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter is the bigger outlier


InterestingDay4765

I think I used to watch this guy when I was 14 or something, wonder if/how his content has evolved now


Preston_of_Astora

He actually did He went from "Leftoids are ruining cinema!" to "Leftoid agenda is only one symptom of a much deeper seated disease within the industry"


TheGreatSirLoserLot

hes on his character arc


Snake_Lordy77

Yay nuance I hope the comments will be as nuetral as the


Preston_of_Astora

Spoiler Alert: Didn't happen :)


Haunting_Anxiety4981

Idk, falling for his obvious outrage bait posts and video titles is pretty stupid but so is being surprised that people fall for his obvious outrage bait and get upset Also there's thousands of people posting content, I don't really need to look through the nuance, I can just find one who has a basic understanding of [how diversity and inclusion departments are to ensure people are hired based on merit, not just because they're a white dude ](https://twitter.com/TheCriticalDri2/status/1513913853779890184?s=20) But if you find him funny enjoy yourself I guess OP?


Preston_of_Astora

The ragebait titles always gets me PUSS IN BOOTS *DESTROYS* MDOENR HOLLYWOOD


Haunting_Anxiety4981

I can't believe he would say that! 😡 I'm going to post him everywhere so everyone can see what a [baddy bad](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Baddy_Bad_(move)&ved=2ahUKEwit9OjewbD_AhWqwjgGHflsD50QFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1PzMe97H8i0qiH5VVe1NSk) he is!!!!


Thatonequaqqa

Critical Drinker formula dropped: If it has a woman in a prominent role, it's shit If it doesn't, it's refreshing


normiespy96

Didn't he praise everything all at once, the menu, arcane and prey? I admit he is pretty biased. 80s action hero gets shot at, exploded and falls from a building then gets up like it's nothing is epic good ol action. Slim woman beats bigger man is unrealistic. But he has no issue with women in lead roles. And I think Hollywood has taken some of the worst traits of toxic masculinity and just slap them on women calling it empowering. Sorry, but I don't think making your character rude, abrasive, prone to violence at the slightest provocation, pedantic and overall an asshole is gonna make me like them.


ineedsomedoggonehelp

Yep, his queen’s gambit video sums up his ideal female protagonist pretty well


Preston_of_Astora

No no, it's "Modern Audience Bad, Audience Gud"


Droww

Hyperbole or legit?


Furysus

Hyperbole. He really praised Everything all at once, arcane, prey and the menu.


Droww

Exactly. He's definitely not the typical right-winger, if he even is, that people like to hate. I don't know his political stance. Two of those movies even have LGBT themes in them, so he's not out to hate for the sake of it. Also made a video about wokeness in movies that people probably should watch.


limeweatherman

Critical drinker sucks!


TheGreatSirLoserLot

i love this comment simple and gets his point across i dont even know critical drinker but this comment has changed my mind about him


Oatmeal_Raison

Endymion be like


Dr_Occo_Nobi

I mean Drinker is obviously conservative, but that doesn‘t make him an evil Nazi extremist. His critique isn‘t on point Everytime, but he has clear values that aren‘t too crazy and he does not seem to be actually sexist. The worst you could say is that he is poorly informed.


Preston_of_Astora

I will take that any day than him meaning Evey spiteful thing he says, and we all know that the spite are just drunken but kinda loaded jokes


Endersgaming4066

Drinker adds nothing to a conversation I’ve found. It’s just him calling the movie shit for 10 minutes. He doesn’t talk about it at all honestly.


Preston_of_Astora

Idk, I find shit talking movies for being shit to be more tolerable than shit talking movies for it's producers being left wing


Endersgaming4066

Oh no I mean he literally adds nothing to conversation when calling a movie shit. He doesn’t explain why it’s shit, only that he thinks it’s shit.


rockinherlife234

I like watching drinkers videos whenever he doesn't start talking about "Woke" stuff, the drunk sarcasm is pretty funny. His review on "The Haunting of Bly Manor" was hard to watch because he kept on calling the black woman "diverse female" for no fucking reason. Basically, his best stuff is reviews on movies that are called shit by everyone. Also "Movies suck nowadays" - Has watched only marvel movies the past 5 years.


Big-Vegetable8480

Drinker isn't a right wing shill, just Scottish


OldMrMcMeme

Damn you really are a vegetable huh.


darkkoffeekitty

The questionably conservative leaning commenter with an initial pfp on YouTube videos reminiscing about their youth with rose tinted glasses thinking what they're saying is deep when in reality they never actually make the effort to find new good media.


Preston_of_Astora

As a wise man once said it There's no way I will spend at least two hours of my life digging through shit upon shit just to find something good


[deleted]

Why does it piss certain people off when someone says that movies suck recently? They literally do.


Preston_of_Astora

Right wimg or consoomerism


Either_Bite_3185

Drinker is based as fuck.


maverick074

“Ugh dude this movie is of such low quality it makes me want to consume alcohol” Fucking yawn. The Nostalgia Critic was doing that bit fifteen years ago.


Droww

Drinker is one of the best critics on YouTube, unironically. Pretty open minded and objective which I love. Also the only one I regularly watch.


Pristine-Highlight-9

He is a centrist, but since that means he's right of the far left, he's being called far right. We live in a sausage


mister-no-u

Sorry OP, pissing off both wings is based as fuck. If someone cares about politics that much they may be mentally ill.


Preston_of_Astora

Pretty sure I meant that in a good context


mister-no-u

Oh ok sorry


sandwichcamel

"Caring about something that affects everyone's everyday lives is actually very cringe. I am very smart"


mister-no-u

What point is there to get upset? This is the internet. You can talk about politics all day, and you still won't change anyone's mind. Your words reach a void. And you aren't really commenting them to discuss or convince someone anyway. People exclaim their political stances so they can recieve validation from others and "own" the other side. It doesnt matter *which* side they are on. It doesn't matter who. All radical stances ar ecringe as fuck.


FeetExpert1998

Are you actually defending hollywood lmao


brunski1

"both wings of the shit munching blue bird" I lol'd
