Creator Toxicity and Gaslighting in Fromsoft Critiques
3,155This video is a response to Feeble King's several videos on Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and his threats of a defamation lawsuit against the Youtuber @GredGlintstone . It is an exploration of various ways creators can manipulate their audience, foster toxicity, and gaslight en masse. I also touch upon the discussion of the current culture of critique videos on Youtube and mansplain Gred Glintstone's video "The Lost Art of Videogame Critique" as my contribution for media literacy.
Response to Feeble's Deleted Defamation Video: • Illegal Defamatory Content

So lately I've been watching Longlegs and Severance which """"inspired"""" the intro sequence and transition slides. Also found this fun tutorial for the dark industrial look • How to make DARK, INDUSTRIAL designs Some of the images for the transitions were screenshots from VaatiVidya and BonfireVN videos. I (ashamedly) used chatgpt for its intended purpose of churning out spaghetti paragraphs for the text in the transitions as well. I also got Gred's blessing for this video and cleared it with him before publishing it so that I wouldn't misrepresent his video or opinions, but the opinions presented here are my own. Sorry this took so long to make, I only had about one day or two a month to work on it so it was surprisingly rushed. Apologies for the odd spelling mistake and render glitch.

What I say at 44m42s - 45m25s I will cite the YouTube comment by user Well_Meaning on Gred's "The Lost Art of Videogame Critique" video that I show at 1h16m46s. How does one cite a YouTube comment anyways, APA style? They are also based for liking Serial Experiments Lain and the band Kinokoteikoku.
