Interestingly, a group unrelated to League players, the FGC (fighting game community), who are notorious for trash talking, defended him on the grounds that as long as a person has the skill to back up their words, a person should have the right to be toxic if they want to. I'm Done With League of Legends, which argued that trash talking is not only acceptable, but one of the few things he found fun about the game, drew lots of contention.Then again, uploading a video containing lush natural scenery onto a channel full of goofy gaming videos isn't exactly the most expected thing. Relaxing Space Safari got this in spades.There are those who saw it as an appropriately more serious and heartfelt video and one that Williams would have thought was hilarious, and those who felt the video was offensive and insulting to him. Needless to say, such inflammatory statements don't sit well with the parts of his fanbase who are also anime fans. That being said, he has taken multiple potshots at various anime games' fanbases, most notably the Xenoblade Chronicles community because it's a traditional JRPG with a few questionable characters and moments note "Why does the Furby who talks like Jar-Jar Binks have a Sex Slave robot!?", and in the opening of his review of Guilty Gear -STRIVE-(a game he actually likes) he makes a blanket statement that anime fans devour anything anime-related uncritically regardless of its quality. Many fans are fine with this because it's something that he acknowledges as a bias in his "Game Critics" video, so it's not like his audience doesn't know what to expect if he reviews an anime game. Related to the first example, Dunkey has made his stance on anything Anime-related clear: if it's not by Studio Ghibli, he's not going to like it.So why would I ever subject myself to a game that nobody enjoys? Well, it has a funny blue guy. This issue is brought up and sarcastically Lampshaded in his mixed but overall positive review of Dragon Quest XI:Įverybody in the entire world hates RPGs. Some also enjoy seeing him tear into a genre they dislike as well, which only furthers the debate. His fandom remains divided on whether he should review these games knowing his distaste for their mechanics colors how much he enjoys these games, or if he is fine reviewing them because of the possibility of him revealing he actually really likes them (as was the case with Persona 5 and Earthbound). He has always been up front about hating aspects like turn-based combat, cliche anime story-lines, and "anime-noise" grunting & exclamations characters will do to fill gaps in a conversation. ![]() ![]()
