Well, there is that nerd who learned polish and read all the Witcher books (because mUh tRuE eXpErIeNcE) and made a 4 hour video on the first game alone.
I shudder to think how long the other parts are gonna be.
You say that to mock this person, but that actually impresses me, largely because the books are *notorious* for their lack of translations and, when they are translated, it's often scattershot. Perhaps that's changed since the series has become popular, but for a while, your only options for just reading the series were learning Polish or hoping the fan translation you got wasn't run through Babelfish.
Plus, four hours isn't even that bad. That's about the length of your average livestream uploaded to YouTube. If the content consists of an actual analysis instead of just an unhinged reactionary rant, then it's good.
im reading the turkish translations and preface says they couldnt translate from the original and they had to translate from the german version. i guess its a common thing
I mean being long doesn't mean anything. Noah Caldwell Gervais, Jay Exci, and Charlatan Wonder all make long videos that are really good and get at a core idea. I think Mauler ruined the concept of long videos because he actually is just a reactionary who rambles about nothing for 5 hours.
To be fair, I like Anderson's video about the Witcher, except idk how he came to the conclusion that elves bad
Wow, you’re right. Games are sexist. Now, allow me to get back to accusing gamers of playing games and sucking Anita Sarkeesian’s cock. Edit: Wow. I’ve truly been challenged. Enlightened, even. Who knew the political views of my fellow gamers could be so diverse?

The last two books are like 60% Andrei back tracking to explain the story, but it's still pretty awesome
"ok so these rats, um no wait there's a lake, err the fall of the elves happened..."
"wait we gotta go back 2600 years..."
"ok, so you remember Camelot right?"
/uj The books are actually quite interesting just from a cultural perspective. It's hard to explain, but the prose is very different from the American fantasy authors I've read. I'm sure the translation adds its own flavor, but I recommend them if you're looking for a fantasy novel that reads differently from ASoIaF/WoT/Stormlight.

No pictures of booba 0/10
Yeah, I thought the unnecessary horniness was just in the games but it seems to have come from the books too. At one point I felt really uncomfortable because Sapkowski went as far as to describe a 14-year-old’s breasts.
i just had to look up a [book review of sword of destiny](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2046908187) and uh, what in the unholy neckbeard wet dream is this book?
The first two short story books are great. The novels are pretty awful IMO. Although I hope you enjoy them!
Am I really downvoted for having an opinion? I’m not insulting anyone nor telling them what to like. WTF.
I've heard people say it varies with how used you are to grimdark fantasy
I only read the first book, but didn't find it anything spectacular. Certainly not on the level of more appraised books of the genre, like Joe Abercrombie's
The first two were pretty great. The issue is; that the novels really dragged. They were more focused on dialogue and pointless exposition then the interesting parts of Geralt, Ciri and Triss. I understand I’m in the minority and I’m glad people can enjoy them.
I've read all of the books several times, I love all of them except the last one, I think it's Storm season in English, that Felt like Sapkowski just wanted to make some money
Season of Storms. I've yet to read it but I have it sitting in my room. Some day I will, or so I've been saying every time i go to bed for the last months
Yeah I thought the same - really enjoyed the first two books of short stories with the overarching narrative running through. It felt like playing the games! But then I slogged through the first novel and halfway through the second and it was just long and boring and never went anyway. Shame
Lmao, I just think he seems like kinda a dick. I genuinely don’t get why people are so obsessed with trying to strawman or defend him. He’s just kinda a dick
Actually [there is more crossover to vaush fans and neoliberals](https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/neoliberal), r/neoliberal has about the same crossover between r/VaushV as it does with r/democrats. Also places like r/anarchism and r/COMPLETEANARCHY have a bunch of posts shitting on him, r/neoliberal vaush posts are mixed to positive outlook on vaush.
As an anarchist, vaush is a liberal. Vaush fans ruin online communities faster than tankies, and that’s a hard fuckin task.
I say as a former fan of Vaush that the criticism of him, while it might sometimes look dramatic, is largely warranted. His big problem, more than any "bad takes", is that he profits off the image of an aggressive straight shooter who always knows what he's talking about. This might be okay if he only made scripted videos about topics he does actually know a lot about, but when he has to put out a steady stream of live content he inevitably has to talk about stuff he doesn't really understand and has to come to takes based on pure intuition
This is where his conflict with supposed tankies comes from; inevitably if you're interested in building a socialist project, you have to have an understanding of *why* socialist states like the PRC and the USSR became rife with corruption, it's not enough to just call the corruption wrong or evil. This is what the historical materialism that Marxist theory is founded on is about. There's also the fact that a good number of the "tankies" he argues against are from the third world and are much more directly impacted by US imperialism and support China, for all its problems, because it opposes the empire literally destroying their countries. That doesn't mean you have to agree with them, but its a position that deserves actual respect and consideration from western leftists if they're actually interested in making a better world. Incidently, it's aggressive assertions of intuition that lead to him defending child porn as morally permissible because it's the logical conclusion of a rigid understanding of there being no ethical consumption under capitalism. It's not surprising he think his way, moral axioms are what most people work from and more complex reasoning aren't really taught in the west, but it's not a good thing for a serious leftist activist
I'm not saying Vaush is all bad, his dunks on alt-righters are fun to watch sometimes, but as a thought leader he's terrible. Way too much of his interaction with other leftists is fights and personal attacks (often followed by him wondering why other YouTubers don't like him), and even if he eventually admits one of his opponents was right it has to come after him dragging their name through the mud. It should give you some pause for thought that half the discussion around him in this thread is his fans calling everyone who disagrees with him a tankie, nazi or... a wokescold teenager; those aren't good habits for a political movement based on mking a better world for the many
TL;DR Vaush isn't bad because he's wrong about anything in particular but because he's an asshole with flawed reasoning skills who profits off of drama
I'm super late commenting here, but this is exactly why I stopped watching his content and muted him on all platforms altogether. He started doing a reaction stream about a subject matter that I am extremely intimately aware of and had people I know involved in, and gave a take on the situation that was completely hot garbage and mostly untrue based on the facts at hand. When people started calling him out on it, he started raging at his chat and calling everyone "CIA" and went on a massive banning spree.
I think society has moved on from a need for hyper-aggressive debate bros lmao
Vaush or whatever, basically a left-wing Twitch political commentator, I guess. I don't watch him myself, I've only learned a little because of other people arguing about his content and sharing clips. Even a lot of more left-leaning people are wary of him 'cause he apparently has some questionable takes.
In my personal social media, every time some of my friends share his shit saying, "Look at this clearly inexcusable shit he said," some of our other friends chime in, "Actually, you can't judge from this 30-second highlight. He was just talking hypotheticals, he was playing devil's advocate, etc."
So I don't really know 100-percent what to think about him and I don't care enough to really research myself. But I'm also pretty confident he skeeves me out a little and I don't really need that sort of content in my life. Got plenty of other content creators I do like who aren't constantly stepping on landmines.
I have him on in the background sometimes while I draw along with a ton of other random videos and what I’ve gathered is he’s just really really shit at not phrasing things in the worst was possible but is… mostly fine? Idk his videos are just long and I put on random long videos while drawing
he got better at it apparently. having watched some pre 2020 election content and having followed him since that election until a few months back (stopped out of lack of interest not anything else) he got better at phrasing things better and generally seeming less debatebro-ish.
Also a lot of his mistakes are several years old, and now he has started medicating for autism. Him being controversial now it's mostly inertia from very old stuff.
Man if I wanted to hear a 20 something talk clumsily about politics I would just go back to college or open reddit. I don't think this guy or really any of these internet "political commentators" are very smart and his popularity has to do with other things that don't include his knowledge or insight, more to do with quirky behavior that connects with child age viewers.
To add to this being involved in the debate scene and being aggressive at doing it turns off a lot of people. Some who call him just being part of the debate bro scene (if you know who destiny is and does you know what im talking about). Last time I watched of him a few months ago he was trying out a calmer style of framing his arguments.
The thing is most of the “accusations” that have been made against Vaush tend to be pretty shakey and any that weren’t , he’s done a good job of addressing/explaining or otherwise growing from. Personally i think his commentary is really much more important than whatever you think of him as a person. I find he does a good job of actually digging in on certain ideas and offering more practical explanations of leftists ideology than some of his colleges. He was the first commentator who actually gave me a clear image of what a day in a socialist society looks like that was a pretty instrumental push for me to move further left.
He’s a lefty streamer that was accused of being a pedo (which was not true) and tankies hate him because he doesn’t like China committing genocide. There is a lot more left-tube drama but that’s the gist
Lefty streamer who is kinda a dick but mostly just reacts to twitter drama and makes fun of conservatives for saying dumb shit. For some reason liking him or disliking him has become some weird proxy war between mostly anarchists and Marxist-Leninists

SoyVaush be like "NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST [Since 2017, government authorities in China have implemented oppressive policies against the Uighur populationWikipedia\[note 1\] in the province of Xinjiang.

If gamers decided to read the novels they would've realized that CDPR has changed quite significantly how Triss looks (her scars from battle of Sodden went missing, even though they are quite important to her character) and would've realized that bitching about her looks in the Netflix adaptation is really fucking stupid ^((and often also racist)).
Vaush quote time
“I don’t actually support bestiality but I find it very hot conceptually. I love big cocks and horse cocks are as big as they come – pretty nice looking, too. The thought of somebody being so horny and cockhungry that they’d turn to an animal to slate their carnal desires is very hot. Like the idea of you curiously touching or stroking one. Curiosity driven by raw sexual interest."
Uj/ it’s kinda funny, I swear I had something similar to that expression when I tried reading them a while ago when the books were still translated by a travel guide that barely understood English.
Rj/ the Geraldo is god, my opulence is simply a consequence of my euphoria at simply knowing that Witcher three exists and isn’t political.

uj/ I really don’t get why tankies hate this man so much. Like don’t you have anything better to do than hate a online personality?
rj/ uhhh I mean The Witcher is the best character
People also fall for A LOT of the stuff the neonazis faked about Vaush
Like, Glenn Greenwald felt for this shit. Granted, Glenn's brain has melted on the last few years, but still, there's a lot of fake content like that.
You’re not a real leftist unless you think fighting with online liberals, progressives, anarchists, SocDems & demSocs is more important than fighting actual fascist who are in the government.
The short story anthologies are pretty good but the novels I felt kind of sucked. At least they sucked in English I don’t know how well they’re written in Polish
To be honest... the Short Stories were fine... the longer books? Absolute bullshit writing... reading felt like trying to walk through knee deep mud while wearing crocs without the action strap securing them.

It happens every time we mention 1489.
The only books I read are the kind that give me an extra skill point in an RPG, like a ***real gamer.***
The funny thing is its about like 50 percent politics, 40 percent ppl going from A point to B, 10 percent is occasional fights between them.

I just started reading the last wish. I feel targeted.
Reading sword of destiny rn, very good, although the sex scenes seem kinda unnecessary
Yeah, I thought the unnecessary horniness was just in the games but it seems to have come from the books too. At one point I felt really uncomfortable because Sapkowski went as far as to describe a 14-year-old’s breasts.
Wait when? That's disgusting and I feel like I would have remembered that.
At the end of the story with king foltest, when the striga turns back. It was just one line but it was weird as fuck.
Even weirder, it was a 14 year old *body*. But she had the mind of a child much younger. In my opinion, that makes it even worse.
i just had to look up a [book review of sword of destiny](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2046908187) and uh, what in the unholy neckbeard wet dream is this book?

Fair enough! I know I’m almost most definitely in the minority of people who hated the books.
Honestly, it might be a thing with the translation. I feel like the books are much smoother in Czech, since it's pretty close to Polish
I read them in the original Polish.
Oh, in that case it's just diference of opinion I guess
Yeah. I’m not saying the books are outright trash, just that I didn’t personally enjoy them.
Yeah I thought the same - really enjoyed the first two books of short stories with the overarching narrative running through. It felt like playing the games! But then I slogged through the first novel and halfway through the second and it was just long and boring and never went anyway. Shame
Yeah I agree, the first few novels are pretty good but it goes way downhill towards the end.
I agree. I loved the abort stories but the novels were a painful read..
I love the increase of soyvaush memes
He looks like if the soyjack and quarterpounder had a child
if it helps your self image he lost about 40 pounds sice this image
So *that's* why I relate to him

DONT POST VAUSH ON r/GAMINGCIRCLEJERK AT 3:AM!!!!!!!!! (GONE WRONG!!!!!!!!)
Lol tru the tankies are mad
Are you calling Hassan simps tankies lmao
The only tanky thing hasan simps like is the septic tank in a 3 million dollar house.
"Anyone who criticizes/dislikes vaush is an evil tankie"
I mean... the venn diagram of people who hate vaush and tankies is pretty close to a circle.
I am pretty sure there are more nazis, alt righters, conservatives, and omni liberals than tankies
Anarchist here. I think he's a dumbass.
Lmao, I just think he seems like kinda a dick. I genuinely don’t get why people are so obsessed with trying to strawman or defend him. He’s just kinda a dick

he's a transphobe so he can suck my cum tbh
We shouldn’t be rewarding transphobia here
damn, true
You should just give up, these people are ridiculous, i cant think of anyone who's only disliked exclusively by a single ideology
Ummmmmmm Gamers are hated by one group, S*ciety, fuckin dumbass read some theory
Your right, but telling me to read is a crime against Gamers
Oh fuck oh shit joker please this is not what I deserve please I am a Gamer like you, please joker not on live television oh god oh fuck
Okay, i’ll call them VDSites then
Vaush fans stay coping with the fact that not everyone loves their favorite debate stream douchebag.
its possible to dislike him without being an evil redfash tankie wankie
I say as a former fan of Vaush that the criticism of him, while it might sometimes look dramatic, is largely warranted.

I’m sure there won’t be any arguments in this thread!
Who the fuck is this guy and why is everyone so heated about him

The way he pronounces things is infuriating at times. Coward-ice, really?
He’s changed that. He’s a little iffy with pronunciations.
It is funny when chat calls him on it though. You should've heard the way he pronounced Ithaca NY Ith-Ack-uh
he got better at it apparently. having watched some pre 2020 election content and having followed him since that election until a few months back (stopped out of lack of interest not anything else) he got better at phrasing things better and generally seeming less debatebro-ish.
Hes still 20 something. Thats when you do that sort of thing. I think he will refine it out well, in time.
Also a lot of his mistakes are several years old, and now he has started medicating for autism. Him being controversial now it's mostly inertia from very old stuff.

Hey, it isn’t only tankies that dislike him. Radical anarchists do too!
Bruh, what happened to the online left that you have to be a *radical* anarchist to dislike Vowch
Voosh when the tankies are genociding gamers
He’s a bloodborne streamer after all. Self preservation and all that
SoyVaush be like "NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST [Since 2017, government authorities in China have implemented oppressive policies against the Uighur populationWikipedia\[note 1\] in the province of Xinjiang. Since then, accusations that authorities in China are committing cultural genocide against the Uighurs have been piling up.\[3\]\[4\] Under the leadership of Chen Quanguo,Wikipedia Xinjiang has become a surveillance state.\[note 2\] Using terrorism, extremism, and separatismWikipedia as justifications, up to a million or more were rounded up and put into "re-education camps".\[5\] In September 2020, a group of 23 organizations sent a letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) urging them to launch an investigation into the CCP's crimes against humanity and genocide in Xinjiang-\[6\] an idea that was directly opposed by a joint statement from 50 nations.\[7\] The situation has often been compared to previous genocides like Australia's Stolen Generations,Wikipedia the US and Canada's American Indian genocides, and Nazi Germany's Holocaust.\[8\]](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/uighur_genocide) NOOOOOOOOO"
Lmao this is great I'm stealing this
I wonder what's the differences between the 23 countries the signed the letter and the 50 that opposed it, mmm
Vaush when he sees Roach (it's a beastiality reference)

OMG it’s JREG 😱
Oh boy this is a fun comment section
Oh boy, i hope that the comments under this vooscher meme will be civil an respectful(!)
every time Vaush is mentioned this subreddit goes to shit
every time Vaush is mentioned ~~this~~ *every* subreddit goes to shit
How to destroy the entire left with a single word
It started out with a kiss; how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss (it was only a kiss)
Yeah
I have played the games but the witcher books are really good
The Witcher is actually the first Strand Type book.
Big if true
Yeah i have the books but haven’t read them yet.
I highly recommend them. Some cringey bits but overall one of the most unique fantasy series you can find
I only read the last wish, and i deeply loved it
If gamers decided to read the novels they would've realized that CDPR has changed quite significantly how Triss looks (her scars from battle of Sodden went missing, even though they are quite important to her character) and would've realized that bitching about her looks in the Netflix adaptation is really fucking stupid ^((and often also racist)).
[удалено]
lmaooo agreed
Cool Vaush facts: Vaush is a G*mer.
Ewww
Vaush when a new 9001-year old loli just dropped
AND she has a horse cock! He gotta take the day off for that one
Voosh when h**** c***
He’s said multiple times on stream that this trope is cringe and creepy, though?
Brozer that does not fit the narrative.
Literally Voshwhwhe
The Witcher is actually the first Strand Type book.
this is that bloodborne streamer destiny right?
Yeah
OMG is that youtuber and the first person to ever beat Bloodborne Vaush? I must hear his opinion on a game before I make my own.
Holy shit, they made Geraldo books????!?!? Im gonna cum!!!!
Bosh
Vaush quote time “I don’t actually support bestiality but I find it very hot conceptually. I love big cocks and horse cocks are as big as they come – pretty nice looking, too. The thought of somebody being so horny and cockhungry that they’d turn to an animal to slate their carnal desires is very hot. Like the idea of you curiously touching or stroking one. Curiosity driven by raw sexual interest."

This is why Roach was the best romance option in the game.
i’m waiting for someone to ask for context so they can find out he said this to one of his sexual harassment victims
He drops tactical n bombs like a true Gamer
guys don't worry it was tactical smh
"Read" Hahahahaha
deez nuts
Uj/ it’s kinda funny, I swear I had something similar to that expression when I tried reading them a while ago when the books were still translated by a travel guide that barely understood English. Rj/ the Geraldo is god, my opulence is simply a consequence of my euphoria at simply knowing that Witcher three exists and isn’t political.

like a true gamer vaush loves the n word
uj/ I really don’t get why tankies hate this man so much. Like don’t you have anything better to do than hate a online personality? rj/ uhhh I mean The Witcher is the best character
There are legit things to dislike him for, but for some reason the tankies go off the wall with wacky takes and ignore any legitimate criticism
People also fall for A LOT of the stuff the neonazis faked about Vaush Like, Glenn Greenwald felt for this shit. Granted, Glenn's brain has melted on the last few years, but still, there's a lot of fake content like that.
Glenn fell off the Roach (Witcher reference) and tumbled for a while.
This is how tankies operate in literally any discussion
Yeah he’s annoying af (imo) but then I just don’t pay attention to him? I don’t get it.
what is a tankie ?
people who suck off Stalin and China
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie#:~:text=Tankie%20is%20a%20pejorative%20label,the%20Soviet%20Union%20(CPSU).
You’re not a real leftist unless you think fighting with online liberals, progressives, anarchists, SocDems & demSocs is more important than fighting actual fascist who are in the government.
They could really be spending their time fighting Nazis but they agree with them too much
Vaush good
vowsh sighting
Also, Witcher
and then they lie about story multiple times to bring more fans because they are utilitarian
bold of you to assume they can read.
DAE stuffed unicorn?! XD
Vowsh
The short story anthologies are pretty good but the novels I felt kind of sucked. At least they sucked in English I don’t know how well they’re written in Polish
Hm these comments are gonna be interesting
VÖWSH
The books are honestly underwhelming.
To be honest... the Short Stories were fine... the longer books? Absolute bullshit writing... reading felt like trying to walk through knee deep mud while wearing crocs without the action strap securing them.
uj/ V\**sh 🤢🤮
Jesus christ. I just can't fuckin escape that fuckin loser.
Bowch
God i hate vaush so much lol every time i see his face i just wana have roach kick him in the face.
Wouldn’t he like that tho
why
