But I added my thoughts, as well as my conclusion: “If you look at the patterns of behaviour over the years it’s impossible to deny this is a really shitty guy. It wasn’t really an article to start, it was a collection of clips from Dunkey’s hundreds of videos and references to other criticisms of his content.

The atrocious header image I threw together for my first Dunkey piece… in retrospect way too clickbaity and bad. Go ahead and give it a read if you haven’t, and take a look at the many, many angry comments. That led to what became the most viewed and hated post I’ve ever written: Everything Wrong with Dunkey. I was trying to make sense of it not only for myself but in hopes of continuing to have constructive discussions with the Dunkey fans in my life, like my roommate. Well, that night I took an hour or two and scrubbed through the majority of Dunkey’s videos to date and read other critiques and opinions. After all, who was I to say rape isn’t funny? He went so far as to say it’s important for comedians to make rape jokes without fear of criticism. The biggest thing that struck me is that my roommate believed our culture needed more acceptance of the misogynist comedy like Dunkey’s. My roommate and I talked about a lot of things Dunkey does and what we find comedic in general. I felt that Dunkey’s recurring bit of beating the shit out of a female NPC was endemic of the larger issue with misogyny in gaming and was reinforcing those issues. He didn’t believe the criticisms I had of the YouTuber were valid. The article was part of a conversation I was having with my roommate at the time. Then I got told to kill myself, multiple times. Last year I wrote an article about gaming YouTuber Jason Gastrow, better known as Videogamedunkey or just Dunkey.
