I don't understand, how do we not have a main thread showing his blatant racism for all of reset era to see? Clearly alot of people aren't aware.
He drew extremely racist comics back in the days. He's still proud of them. He also photographed his dick and shared the picture on reddit.
The comics are inexcusable.
However, are cam girls, or anyone that shares nudes of themself online all disgusting people?
This post comes off as shaming who work in adult entertainment unless there's more context to him doing that.
Whatabout context:
Mike posted his dick pic publicly on his Twitter and the Cinemassacre subreddit, both of which were not flagged as 18+.
So basically, he exposed himself to minors as well as adults who probably did not want or expect to see that on their subscription feed when logging on to Twitter or reddit that day.
The comics are really strange, though. As someone else mentioned already, there's really no logic as far as what's happening in them, and they really do just seem like a reason for the last panel or two to contain blatant racism for little more than shock value.
Yup.
He was in his mid-20's when he made those so it isn't like he didn't know better, he commented positively about the comics much more recently, not to mention he never apologized for them.They're long time friends and their personalities meld pretty good. The racist stuff is from a long time ago if I'm not mistaken and while mike doesn't have the best filter/limiter, (he's basically a rage quitter that doesn't quit) hasn't done anything racist since.
How on earth do you even respond with that post after the comics that were shared in this very thread? Gross.Congrats to him and James! I really enjoy their channel between angry video game nerd, James and Mike plays, and movie reviews

Y'know, it's probably only a matter of time before Mike gets called out in mass for this stuff. James is a genuinely nice guy, he even called out racism in some of the old films recently. But Mike... man...
I dunno, are there YouTube personalities that don't do blatantly racist stuff, or show genuinely remorse or desire for change after they do?
I'm sure there is, they just don't have to be bigoted pricks.
I think it's just because it's not news. He was drawing these in 2004 (when he would have been 24) at latest, and the comics were dug out on Reddit in 2017. Mike Matei is a major part of the Angry Video Game Nerd empire and doesn't give a shit about what he did, so he's probably not going to get any consequences except fans no longer watching. I gets brought up in other threads about associated things - you'd see these comics mentioned when Channel Awesome was imploding.
Do you mean by fans or by James? One's happened to some degree, and I think the other's past the point where you'd expect it to have happened.

He posted a picture of his dick to the non-age gated Cinemassacre social media accounts, exposing himself to people who didn't want to see it as well as likely minors.
Plus, the whole subreddit fiasco. Yeah no, Mike is trash still.
Between those two, I'd rather the ProJared path than the Vic Mignogna one. I've heard some nasty things in person that have come out of that.Well, I mean like how the internet blow up about Vic Mignogna and ProJared. I feel like that might happen.

But I'm mostly familiar with the Angry Video Game Nerd as a footnote in internet history. Maybe there's some reason that it didn't take that sort of direction within this fanbase. Since it already hit Reddit and it's spread enough that non-fans like me know about it, I think it already successfully slipped the radar, but I suppose you could try posting a thread or posting about it to social media if you think it can still happen.
Not everyone has their finger on the cancel button.How on earth do you even respond with that post after the comics that were shared in this very thread? Gross.
Wow. This is awful.
Unfortunately his dirty ass jokes rub off on James and just degrades the entire channel
I hear ya, James' sense of humor is also low brow. But I've watched plenty of content where Mike starts it up.can't think of a time james was never low brow. not a bad thing, like south park it works where it works. but yeah i don't think any of that is mike
eh I draw the loco bandito when I feel like it and I haven't really felt like it. besides i'm to lazy to manage a website. i tried getting it published but noone had the balls. so whatever. I'll just draw zelda and be happy. btw i seriously loved that fliesher thing. one of my fav pieces next to katie rices link drawings. anyway take care. tell jon i said Hi and I spied on him one day on that camera thing. haha later
There's always one in every thread...He's like 40 now, it's been a long time and not everyone feels the need to retroactively pick through their past. If someone wants to question him on it at a panel or meet and greet that's fair game. Judge him them instead of trying to drag a person for a past they might have put behind.
The penis pic is from a Canadian chaturbate model. Its actually not his and I don't quite understand people's obsession with his dick anyway. I'm not sure if mike posted it to troll people or if the whole thing originated on 4chan as it's often used as hate fuel on those forums.
Not sure what the subreddit fiasco is but that place was super negative pushing on conspiracy's last time I visited. Lot of unjust negativity directed at Erin.
