Mini Rant

Mini rant

It’s like midnight and I have to work in three hours.

But like.

I like to read recent comments on YouTube. It’s more fun seeing new comments than top comments, imo.

But tonight I went to a Solo Dan Playthrough on Game Grumps and saw a good chunk of the comments saying they hated Arin and wanted Dan to just go solo.

Like???

Can y’all seriously find nothing better to do than hate on Arin?

Arin is a hard working man, with a passion to fix things he considers shitty, and he’s constantly trying new things to keep the channel feeling fresh and fun.

I’m not going to excuse any horrible things he may have done in the past, but ya know what??? He’s grown and changed as a person, and who he is today is a person who deserves some common fucking decency.

I am just so tired of people treating Dan like some infailing God, and treating Arin like a leeching parasite/monster.

Who cares if Arin’s sense of humor isn’t your cup of tea—find another youtuber that you vibe with and watch them. You don’t need to tear someone down to praise someone else.

Danny and Arin are both funny on their own, and, when they’re together, they’re hilarious!

Am I saying Arin’s the funniest man on earth? Of course not! There are times I click on a video and the jokes he makes just don’t land well or make me laugh, and guess what I do in reponse??

Fucking nothing! Because I was taught that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all!

If I don’t laugh at or enjoy a video, I just click on something else to watch.

I’ve been watching Game Grumps for seven years and I have seen nothing but animosity towards Arin. He has give us free entertainment for nearly a decade and y’all constantly shit on him.

And this isn’t a bashing Dan thing either. I’m not saying Dan wouldn’t be good on his own, he probably wouldn’t do solo playthroughs if he didn’t think he was good at them. Matter of fact, I love Dan’s chill personality because I have more of Arin’s personality and would love to have a chill friend like Dan!

I think Dan’s a great guy.

I think Arin’s a great guy.

They’re both great guys.

I’m just so tired of this Arin-Hate. So what if he ignores game instructions and “plays bad”? Sometimes the fumbling and bumbling makes the game funnier. It’s especially funny when he realizes his mistake and you can hear the embarrassment in his voice. He’s not an “intentionally bad player” to spite the viewers, and it’s not an intentional gag, that’s just Arin’s way. Like I said, of that don’t vibe with you, find someone else (might I recommend Markiplier or Jacksepticeye, of LordMinion777, or Myskerm or 8bit Ryan or Razzbowski??? Mainly Solo let’s players, but still in the same humor range/sounding nice to ears niche of gaming youtube)

I know odds are no one will see this or care. And I’m honestly not looking for tea or receipts on Arin (or Suzy for that matter since one comment said she was Cancerous to Arin and coddles him. Bitch, where??? Suzy got her own thing going on. Let the woman exist on the internet without being shamed for literally everything). I’m not looking to argue or debate about who is the best Grump (Psst, they’re all great because they each have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out). I just wanted to get my feelings out. But, on the off chance this somehow blows up and makes it to the Grumps—

Arin, I wish you nothing but the best, keep it up 💖

Dan, I wish you nothing but the best, keep it up 💙

The rest of the Grump Team, I wish you nothing but the best, keep it up! 🧡
