I watched Deadpool recently and I thought this exact thing! He'd love those movies for sure
I’m not saying V as Deadpool
but I’m saying V as Deadpool
the acting in voice acting is crazy because its the same dude and you KNOW LOGICALLY it's the same dude because he sounds like the same dude but no this blonde haired loser and this vampire slayer and this mafia bookie and your husband from the future are all different people to me when it's the SAME FREAKING GUY
I turned 18 recently so I feel this so bad 😭💔
bro wdym i wont be a silly little simp forever???? wdym i have to get a job and be a functioning member of society? why can’t i just stay in my room for my life and just listen to audios while drawing or writing?????
I thought we were over the whole "V is abusive" thing omg 💀 people truly have no media literacy anymore
not to cause drama or anything but I HATE SCYTH ASMR! (Tw fictional domestic abuse, and fictional abuse of power)
Hate is a strong word, and my feeling might be a little over the top but, I do wanna talk about some of his stuff. I was a big fan of his when his first V vid was made. I joined the discord and followed all his posts. And then he posted a video that happened to have domestic violence in it, MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING FOR THAT PAST THIS!!!! this vid has the listener character “cheeky” (I will not be calling her that cus that’s is a cringe ass nickname btw) and V, the romantic interest training, then after some flirting (one sided on V’s part, I’ll get into this later) a cargo truck full of scientists drives by! V quickly gets into the trunk and kills everyone in there, the listener character tries to stop him from killing what she think is an innocent person, he kills the guy in front of her, and then throws her out of the car, chokes her, talks about how he’s going to kill her and pin her death on the people in the cargo truck, and then says “how about one more kiss before you go” before letting her go. He then afterwards explains that the reason he killed all of them, was because of some in story lore about werewolves. It’s explained that what they did basically caused a werewolf to go feral and become evil and kill people. So obviously! These scientists who were probably forced by the government to do this, deserved to die! That makes sense! Anyway the moral of this vid was that the listner character should always listen to V no questions asked! I hate this vid for a number of reasons. The biggest one is the number of comments sexualizing and romanticizing the fucking horrible and traumatic abuse this listener faced, even bigger then that was the fact scythe audio fed into it.
The worst comment (trigger warning, victim blaming)
As you can see, scythe not only condoned this behaviour, he feed into it. This comment makes me sick. I accidentally watch this video without reading the description and became very triggered at the video. (this is not scythe audios fault, I must make this clear) seeing people make jokes like “I asked to be choked but not like this” and talking about how the listener character deserved and even enjoyed the attack was and still is repulsive.
The relationship between V and the listener character was also extremely abusive, but it was always shown as loving, or something like that. The listener has to stay with V and basically do whatever he asks (including kissing and I assume sexual favours) or be tossed to the streets to be picked up by either the evil shadow government or the actual government. Both wanted her dead. So, she’s trapped staying with a man who threatens violence if she doesn’t follow his every whim, who sexually harasses her daily, who diminishes her trauma, and who treats her like trash, just so she doesn’t her tormented and eventually killed. My issue with this isn’t the fact he’s an abusive ass hat, my issue is that instead of giving him any actual character growth, V was given orphans. He was made into an adopted dad to a shit ton of orphans cus he has ZERO REDEEMING TRAITS OTHER THEN HOT. Scythe audio must have realized this guy was his money maker and realized he had to make this guy actually redeemable if he wanted to have him to keep Marlon him money. Anyway it was unconvincing cus right after introducing the fact there were cute kids in the equation, he dropped the domestic abuse.
Another thing, less about the videos and more about how he interacted with fans. His discord sever had rolls for age! They specifically had one labeled “16 and under”, now, I’m not against having minors in asmr fandom spaces, but having minors especially such young ones in a sever he made? It just felt like a weird choice, especially seeing as he had and still has, and I’m going to say it bluntly, porn up on YouTube. Now you can say “but the video said 18+!” We all know that has never ever stopped a minor from doing anything. With this said, a large amount of his fandom was under 18, I’ll give him this, I don’t think i ever saw Scythe interact with an under 18 fan, but he knew they where there, he knew they watched his content. And yet knowing this, he wrote stories that glorified domestic abuse as a way to teach your partner how to fall in line he wrote stories glorifying the horribly toxic relationship that was V and the listener character. This type of thing affects kids greatly, especially if they have no clue it is abusive. Even in the video with the domestic abuse the description says “this may be triggering to listeners in regards to domestic based violence” not “Trigger warning, this video contains Domestic abuse!” It says it more like “it’s kinda domestic abuse, but only if that triggers you”
In Redacted, the description will always tell you what to expect. “Gaslighting, manipulation, toxic relationship” he will make sure you know that a toxic relationship is toxic, he makes sure your aware that the abuse shown, isn’t love. The most scythe does is say “well V is a villain! He’s not a good guy!” And yet her tries to make him redeeming so people like him.
Now, I get that this was over 2 years ago, scythe audio could have totally moved past this weird glorifying abuse thing, who knows! I mostly wrote this as a vent cus my friend reminded me he existed. Anyway if you made it this far have a nice day. If you where or still are a scythe fan, tell me what you think of all this (without being mean please) if you happen to be scythe himself block me I don’t want you near me. Anyway have a nice day!
I'm not hating on Desmond or anything but I just don't think he should have kept us hanging like that. He literally deleted the comment where he said the release dates of the upcoming videos that he's doing. I don't really think that its too much to say something or inform us about the delay. I get that I'm sounding and acting like I'm entitled to it but honestly don't announce something that won't even be true. Its a d*** move

since the reboot of prince desmond’s playlist is coming up, i hope desmond (the creator not the character) keeps the tigress as a character or at least still makes the listener character’s values and personality the same/similar to the tigress’ !! imo you rarely see listeners, like the tigress in the old playlist, have her type of personalities/values.
the only ones i can think of is darlin from redacted and the intern from escaped audios iirc

inspired by a friend misspeaking
Since everyone seems to be talking about the gba faithful thing I want to take a minute to share a hot take I've been thinking about for a while now
Gba among other VAs (including scythe audio who I'm gonna talk about to cos I think he's very important to this conversation) aren't actually "asmr boyfriend vas" their creative people working with a budget
There's something that sets both these creators apart from the typical "asmr rp boyfriend va" and it's the fact that they both clearly would rather their work be a series, a comic, a book or even a movie but their working with a budget so they use a fairly cheep medium: youtube asmr rp
When you listen to gba or scythe your not listening to "asmr rp boyfriend #comfort #sleep aid #hot british" your listening to a story with real narrative and real talent
I bring up scythe because he's expressed multiple times his resentment for typical asmr bf rp audios which is valid because they get more views despite the "lack of talent" also because he's faced similar criticism for the villan series
However with gba it's harder to notice but it's very clear that he's jumping through hoops to try and please the audience that sees "asmr bf #british #enemies to lovers" and clicks because of that instead of the actually genius story writing
While I do think it's kinda dishonest to put those things in your video thumbnail in order to attract a bigger audience I don't in any way condem gba for doing that and he made a smart move making the "albus ending" and "devlin ending" for all the "romance starved" fans but to somone like me who recognises that the romantic aspect of a lot of his story's are only their for viewers sake the albus ending felt very dishonest to what gba actually wanted and felt very pander-y which again I don't condem him for cos if he hadn't made the albus ending yall would have pissed and moaned about it!
And lastly to say that gba "can't write romance" is blatantly dishonest. He has said before that he dosnt like doing it as much but the people that say that he straight up "can't" are clearly just pissy about the whole faithful thing. Like did yall just collectively forget about space pirates?

Ok hear me out
AND DONT JUDGE ME
This with V and Cheeky:
Having to clean the shower is so fucking annoying. It’s clean in there. That’s where I go to get clean. It’s clean dude trust me. Stop fucking growing bacteria and stuff man this is the clean locale. You’re embarrassing me in front of the sink
When I tell you that I screamed during the ending of the latest video and was like "I'm going to jump off a bridge if this is what I think it is." I'm going to be on the edge of my seat till the next one comes out istg
Fantastic work to Scythe and all of the VAs who worked hard on the latest video! You guys never fail to amaze me any time there's a post in the villain series. Can't wait for all the new adventures you guys generously gift us this year!
She/they-Still don't fully understand this app-Just here for mostly Scythe Audio related things-Happily taken
