Shadiversity OBLITERATED By BASED Sellsword Arts 

I appreciate Your support. This whole thing has been a ridiculous debacle. What I've learned is, Shad likes initiating drama. Thanks to creators like you who hold him accountable, so I had a better understanding of why this happened. Funny enough, the footage you pulled up with me is nearly two years old now, and I've gotten a lot better with a longsword😊

Evil Shad be like: "I think women should have rights and be able to wear pants."

David (Sellsword) is a great guy, making proper HEMA videos and being an active member of the actual HEMA community. It's crazy that it should be controversial to state that the best people to be taking advice about HEMA from are people who actually train/teach/compete in HEMA regularly. Like, on what planet is that controversial? Anyway, as I'm mentioned here, I thought I'd drop in and say hi, and thanks.

I too train Muay Thai and they immediately tell you the Thai stance is completely optional. You can just stand like a regular Irishman it's totally valid. Boxing between the Thai and British had fully cross-pollinated by the mid 1800's. You can tell because the Thai words for all the big signature punches are in English while the kicks and bone strikes are not. They wholesale adopted British punching for its superiority. EVERYONE chooses the Thai stance anyway, including me.

I did Kendo in highschool with my 5' nothing girlfriend, She got challenged to a "duel" by a guy with a shinai at a festival giving off insane weeb vibes. She just beat the shit out of his hands with the most basic strikes. This happend more than once. And with more than one 'challenger'. World if full of weirdos.

I love that the original video didn't mention Shad even once and somehow he spend an hour responding to it like it was a personal attack lmao

HEMA exists in a strange spot where it is effectively experimental archaeology, historical study, and a dude bro sport all at once. I can see why it gets messy quite a lot. Thankfully its good cardio even tho i only have a weekend Warriors education in using a tachi so not rly HEMA but u get it

There was also skallagrim drama. Skallagrim tweeted something (unfortunately, i don't remember what he said, but it wasn't anything controversial) that shad got insecure and offended by. Shad even said I thought we were friends. Skallagrim apologized for offending him, but also said that they weren't friends, just acquaintance. Shad then proceeded get mad and hasn't spoken with him since.

Oh my god, dude. Shad's ability to speak at length while actually saying basically NOTHING rivals that of DarkSydePhil.

Came for shad shade. Stayed for posture advice

Just to give everyone as brief as possible overview of Shad related controversy, that I am familiar with to give a bit more context. A few years back Shad made a video about using the English longbow in an unconventional way, ie shooting the arrow from 'right' side rather than 'left' with a 3 finger draw, making the point that artwork from or at least about the medieval period showed this being done so it must be right. A few archery experts told him he was wrong about this even giving reasons why shooting this way with this draw was dangerous to the archers body. Shad 'knew better' and did at least one response video targeting Nusensei more specifically since Nusensei had made a video response. He even took some clips of Nusensi out of context to treat Nusensei like he was a liar or a fool who didn't know what he was talking about. In general he's had some of his historical facts about castles pointed out as being wrong, including pronunciations and even the usage of certain items. He's also done videos about metalwork which had wrong details called out by blacksmiths. You can guess what Shad's response was to all of that. Sometime after that was his Knightwatch channel, which is just bad reviews and bad takes on various pop culture related TV shows and movies and similar that draaaaaaaag on and on... It's just rage reviews where everything bad because of how 'woke' it all is. These reviews have featured him making homophobic remarks about gay people being groomers, and gay relationships being disgusting... He also makes a lot of misogynistic remarks, like losing his mind about Prince Peach wearing pants and being a 'girl boss' because apparently she only wears dresses in the games (This was her Mario Kart outfit. And she's the regent of her kingdom, first in line to the throne, of course she knows how to lead, she's been trained since birth to become a monarch!) Then there was the attack on Jack Saint, which had Jack do a long response that Shad oddly didn't reply to, but did end up attacking Angry Joe because Joe made fun of Shads Knightwatch Barbie Movie thumbnails (the original thumbnail was titled 'feminist cancer') and asked if he was 'the sword guy' The first Twitter meltdown at Skallagrim was last year, when Skallagrim responded to a tweet highlighting some of the nastier KW thumbnails, stating that was why he didn't watch Shad anymore, pointing out it was just supposed to be the left who got triggered. Cue. A. Very. Angry. Shad. If you think my wall of text here is a lot, imagine even more like this over several very long tweets by Shad, each one getting more and more pissy. Then there was the Scholagladiatoria aka Matt Easton drama. Shad had gotten the money together for a trip of a lifetime to visit England (not sure if he went to other parts of the UK) and met up with Matt, Tod from Tod's Workshop, Llyod from Lindybeige and Jason Kingsly OBE AKA Modern Histroy TV, all history youtubers Shad's had contact with over the years. Shad, Matt and Tod all put the same group pic on their facebook pages, only for Matt and Tod to take them down a day or so later after several people pointing out Shads behaviour. Tod left it at that, Matt did an explanation post about why and did not name Shad. Cue. Shad. Going. Monkey Poo on twitter and naming himself as the person being abandoned by Matt and Matt getting a lot of abuse from Shads fans. A few months later there was more twitter drama with Skall when Shad started accusing Skall of encouraging people to physically harm Shad, because Skall liked a hand drawn image of a cartoon knight throwing their sword pommel at the back of Shads head. Apparently the two took it to PMs and both deleted their tweets regarding that. Now there's the stuff with Sellsword... And it all basically boils down to Shad thinking he's infallible God, that was a lot more text than I meant to write... Might make a nice dramatic reading though :D

I'll be honest, I thought everybody knew Shad was definitely a professional larper. The man is guilty of huffing his own farts and everyone telling him it's premium gas. The King with no clothes comes to mind. 😂

It's really annoying how Shad kept getting Sellswords name wrong in his video. Like if you're gonna make a video about him, at least learn his name dude.

I trained for several years in HEMA & related “western” martial arts (including boxing), and every serious practitioner I showed Shad to was laughing about him within minutes.

My favorite part, is when Shad shows the clip of Sellsword talking about weird techniques, reverse grip, giant swords, etc. He just assumes all of those were about him. Like dog! Everybody on sword YT was talking about reverse grip and giant swords for a time. Hell, the channel DigitallyTwistedOutlaws started specifically for giant swords! Shad is just a straight-up anime villain; assumes the whole world revolves around him.

"I eat hot pockets" is going in my vocabulary as slang for "I also enjoy trash content, that doesnt mean its not trash" and I want to thank you for that.

Shad is the embodiment of "This could have been an email." There's no reason to take 10,000 words that ultimately says nothing, being more verbose doesn't make you more right.

The reason he's out of breath after walking in a circle is he has chronic fatigue. So no surprise he doesn't walk the walk on HEMA... He literally can't for medical reasons.

I'll say it again . Shad whining about gatekeeping is hilarious.

shad's incompetence at HEMA is my motivation for getting into fencing (if he can be shite at it and have a following that means i can at least give it a go)

“HEMA related activities such as sword collecting and knowing-abouting” is a phrase that cuts me to the quick. That’s exactly the type of nerd I was years ago, and having been that kind of nerd is exactly what drew me to Shad’s channel. But once I joined a Facebook group of his fans, I found out how insufferable knowing-abouting can be. Also half of that group was full of racist little shits LARPing as Vikings

Im a gunsmith and firearms salesman and i can't even begin to tell you how many mf fudds and airsoft larpers give absolutely horrible gun advice online. Idk shit about hema or swords but when i see shad i see the same larpers i have to correct constantly at work 🙄

If shad just kept making silly pop culture sword videos and admitted he was just a nerd like most of us, (and maybe he could have ~not~ written that book) He wouldnt have become a sword world lol cow.

maybe Shad M Brooks should stop for a second and think about why Matt Easton and Skallagrim chose to cut ties from him. But i know he would never critically think about what he's saying

Shad’s sword combat skills are as if he studied sword martial arts from an AI generated guide book.

When I got into HEMA, I lost 2 kilos of body fat in the first three weeks of training (diet was part of the training). Seeing how plump this mofo is tells everyone who's anyone what his actual prowess in the art is lmao.

Although I watched the VOD, I just watched SellswordArts response and I am disgusted, although not surprised, by the disgusting comments from shad fans.

Thing is Shad would have just kept to the Nerd shit and kept making Nerdy videos in the "Fantasy re-armed" series it would have been great. But NO he HAS to have a word on people that are better than him. Clutter that with his political takes and AI shit and now we have the quintessential neckbeard nerd at the Peak of the Dunning-Kruger

10 minutes in, only comment I have to make. Sellsword is the most dashing rogue you ever seen and I would love to have dinner with him

I've LRPed for over twenty years. Please don't compare us to Shad. There are LRPers out there running around in real full platemail, fighting from 10am to 2am never taking it off and not even slowing down. They could be doing reinactment or actually teaching medival history, but they choose a well-made foam sword and fantasy because they just want to have fun with it. They are hobbists, but they know their shit. I learned so much history from LRP than I ever did at school when I was starting out. There are so many knowledgable LRPers out there that would put Shad in his place with a very short conversation. I don't think I know anyone who LRPs for more than a year who'd be wearing Shad's armour, it's such a noob-with-a-bit-of-cash set up. It's rack bought beginner stuff. Anyone squaring up to Shad would take one look at his kit and go easy on him, assuming he was new to the hobby. Most LRPers who decide to stay would trade that kit to their group for something better (a lot of long term groups have a group kit chest for those that can't afford it), save up for a better kit after some advice, or learn how to make something practical for themselves. A few weekends messing around in a forest in that kit and you'd nope out and find something better. It restricts movement, will make you sweat absolute buckets and it probably chafes in some very sensitive areas. The castle in the background makes me laugh as well, it's so cheesy. A LRP I go to has factions, with faction gates and a pretend wall around the camp laid out with string for the boundaries (can't be anything more than that for safety and ambulance routes, etc.) For three years straight these LRPers who were engineers for a living rocked up with a van and made us a wooden gate that was so sturdy you could walk the ramparts on it. They just decided to do it for fun and it was done on a budget for shits and giggles. It doesn't even look like you can lean on Shad's castle and the the doors would fall off if you tried to open them. He's just such a tacky little man. In everything he does.

One Dude in a gambeson is filming another dude in a gambeson, just made me think of the Monty Python sketch where everyone is dressed like Superman and one of them has to change into his secret identity of Bicycle Repair Man to save the day!

Don't know if this is worth a whole other stream or your attention in general. But Sellswordarts made a short response to that Video AND invited #SadShad to an online talk. #SadShad of course, being the putty baby he is, responded with a 45 minute Video, just to say : "nu-uh".

Shad couldn't possibly look more "armchair warrior", even if he had two armchairs taped together. 😂

I've seen Sellsword in person. The guy is very impressive. I used to watch Shad, and it's crazy how stupid he is in literally every facet of his person. From what I've seen of Sellsword's fighting both in theatrical and HEMA, he's a really competent fighter. From what I've seen of Shad's fighting, he stated that he was good enough and doesn't need to improve at all. I don't believe he doesn't need/want to improve. He can't improve and is salty and coping about it like all of his other hobbies. He's a pro artist, writer, and swordsman according to himself.

Cringeversity

In shad's meltdown, his acting like a victim and making everything about himself gave me serious darksydephil vibes.

But Shad isn't even in HEMA :D

ive seen sellsword fight in-person at a couple of tournaments now. i would bet my entire life savings on him against shad.

I don’t think anything sums up Shad better than that fantasy DIY bodge job he’s holding while talking about respecting the community.

I'm amazed at how can anyone watch Shad, with all that gut and double chin, dressed in some chainmail pajamas (tho this time at least he put the quilted stuff on), holding duct-taped foam swords in front of a (plaster? plastic? cardboard? don't know what cheap crap that thing is made of) cartoony miniature of a castle gate, and still think "hey, this is one guy that really knows about this shit".

Can I also say that Shad wearing the same fucking Gambison for years now since he bought it along with having his Eunichs wear matching Gambisons bothers me. People who actually practice Hema wear their equipment out over time pretty quickly because they are practicing with swords and it's dangerous to wear old shitty gambisons like it's a superhero costume.

Sellswords point was that you should be critical about who you take advice from. Make sure they know what they are talking about. That's actually good general advice, one of the golden rules of academia is to cite your sources, so that those sources can be checked. Sellsword didn't mention Shad, in fact, he didn't mention anyone he thinks of as being a bad quality content creator in his field, he mentioned some who he thinks do good content and gave good general advice for evaluating the level of expertise a person may have. Shad however took it as an attack on him, which raises the question of why? Had he not responded, while a few people might have thought this was about him, nobody would have said much, but by making that video he is putting his hand up and saying "It's me, I'm the charlatan he's talking about".

The footwork thing reminded me a lot of when I did Olympic fencing as a middle schooler and how much I *hated* footwork drills but they were fundamental! I haven't fenced in well over a decade now and I miss it. It's a full body workout for sure.

I've never seen any of the long-form content from SellswordArts, but I've watched tons of his shorts and the guy definitely knows his stuff. I don't remember his name, but I have lovingly bestowed upon him the title of "HEMA Rizzler With The Cold Ass Drip". It is a work in progress.

Shad, who wants all women on the basis of their gender to stay out of things we enjoy doing, calling someone out for "an elitist standard and an attempt at gatekeeping" is just gold xD.

Shad would be more believable if he wasn't almost dying every time he walks around carrying his DIY saberstaff.

I’m so happy to know that Skal doesn’t like Shad

One of these days it's probably gonna turn out Shad doesn't even know anything about castles (to be honest I doubt it, I think it's the one subject he can be reliable on).

I find it funny that he’s mad about vagueposting while he has an entire video about how everyone loves his book that doesn’t reference the clear reason why it was made

Also PLEASE make a continuation of this episode continuing Shad's response!

SellSword could re enact the Mihawk vs Zoro fight with Shad

God Shad isn't merely a right wing narcissist, he's downright deranged. He literally spent an hour freaking out about a guy who didn't even talk about him, and spent a great deal of that 1) building a case that he was being talked about and 2) building a case why actually *he* shouldn't be listened to, based on claims Shad further builds a case that he *actually* meant, while other points the guy "wasn't being honest about what he actually believes" He literally... LITERALLY Made up a guy to be mad at

I do a mix of HEMA and kenjutsu (at the same club no less!) and I have to admit I love Sellsword's videos, I used to be a Shad fan before I actually started to do swordsmanship but the more I practice the more I see how lacking his knowledge is

Shad: "It's so disingenuous that he directly targeted me without ever mentioning me in his video!"

The one good thing that came out of this stupid drama was I got a bunch of cool new channels to follow, who actually know what they're talking about! Woot!

Well its shadiversity not chadiversity for a reason. Title should be Chad swordsman vs Shad/sad/fat backyard larper

i'm a swing dancer, everything you said about footwork, shifting weight, posture, and moving with your whole body applies there, too

Probs to Sellsword Arts for fighting an actual opponent (the dude looks like a trained professional)!

Dude thinks his gambeson hides his flabby body. Dude thinks wrong.

Good advice for posture around the 15 minutes mark, Tyler. I had bad posture because of weak back muscle but while it didn't gave back pain it messed up my breath for most of my life because it was almost impossible to have diaphragm breathing like that. For anyone who has breathing problems, jaw and/or shoulders tensions I suggest looking up information about proper posture because the solution may be that.

I used to watch Shad's content years ago, I found him through I think a video about Skyhold from DA:Inquistion and its accuracy/practicality as a real castle, and I liked it, so I subscribed. But as someone interested in medieval stuff (not an expert by any stretch, just well wikipedia'd) I soon started feeling like he isn't as much of an expert as he thinks he is and I also started getting some weird insecurity vibes from him. Then he started letting his "politics"(aka bigotry) shine through more and I unsubscribed (Side tangent: How can a bigot like Dragon Age? Like, it's very gay, lots of female characters who fight and/or are in positions of power, and Inquisition even has trans representation (technically Origins has too, but not in a good way), so like, what?! How? They get upset about the slightest bit of queer representation, even if it's just implied, and then they play Dragon Age of all things? Tangent over). I found Sellsword Arts a while ago and only watched a few videos so far, but he seems waaaay more competent and knowledgable (and likable).

I used to watch Shad because some of his videos were pretty fun. Now he's basically just a drama RU-vidr in all but name.

you know your a snowflake when someone makes a wide statement about something and you get so triggered that you make a hour long whine video that "they were attacking me specifically"

Imagine listening to armchair bodybuilders for advice.

Sometimes I think Shad wrote a book just to call himself a writer and nothing else. Like, I don't want to call myself a writer, handing titles to myself would be disingenuous if I prove to not be worthy of them, but for what It's worth I'm a sort of practitioner of it. I haven't published shit and I'm stuck on chapter 5 of book 1 (I plan to make several for myself), but writing is something you have to be committed in order to be good at it, at least that's what I think, maybe Tyler knows more than I do. In any case, I enjoy writing for myself and try to find a style that matches what I want, finding a middle on my stories is hard when all they have is a beginning and an ending, but this journey made me appreciate a lot more this little fictional world my head made at random over the years. I say this because Shadiversity, for all his undeserved subscribers, has proven to be nothing more than an egotist surrounded by yesmen trapped in an echo chamber of his own creation. He hasn't made a new book since 2019 and that says a lot about how much he liked the process of writing, but let him discover ChatGPT and he'll be making a sequel right away. Poor HEMA content creator, awful writer, fraudulent artist, anti SJW, and Mormon who would make God shut down Heaven on his face without hesitation. That's all Shad M. Brooks will be, because people like him don't like change, they like to always be in the right.

Tyler asking viewers to watch peoples feet

I've been working out regularly for about a year and a half now and I can confirm: Being in decent shape has done wonders for my posture and silhouette. I was hideously chubby for some years and there are still times where I'll straight-up not recognize myself if I catch myself reflected in a window or something.

The cool thing about the stuff regarding foot placement and martial arts is that it also applies to shooting guns.

Shad is a master of talking at length without saying anything of substance, somehow saying everything and nothing at the same time 😂.

Absolutely insane how shad wasn't mentioned in the first vid. He does practice hema (not saying he's good but he does practice) but immediately assumed he was being labeled an armchair swordsman. The vid he made did all the damage. My man sellswordarts literally did nothing wrong

I'm here from the AI art controversy 😄good to know the visual arts and martial arts communities are united in calling out Shad as a charlatan who doesn't actually practice either.

YES I'VE BEEN CALLING SHAD A LOLCOW FOR A LONG TIME FINALLY SOME WHO MAKES VIDEOS AGREES AND SAYS IT IN A VIDEO😂😂😂😂😂

What made me realise how little shad actually knows about swordsmanship is in one of his videos he claims that a dual sided lightsaber doesn’t work because wherever one sword is your opponent will know where the other one is, which is dumb because canonically you can just turn the blade off, in any situation where a dual blade isn’t beneficial you can just choose not to have one, it really opened my mind to how little Shad opens his. Also feints exist, the fact that Shad didn’t even consider feints as something that a dual sided lightsaber would be incredible at is just further proof that he has an artistic eye. He knows fuck all about swords even on a nerdom level and that’s quite a feat

Came for the Shadbashing, stayed for the ridiculous ‘Drip drip drip… drip’😂

Anthony Fantano constantly does that and he'll also talk about how people are playing their instruments wrong and don't know what they're doing like all the time.

I think the way you talk about people is a little embarrassing. And how you claim an entire group of opinions is invalid is honestly a bad sign not to listen to you. I understand Shad has terrible takes, but he has had respectable ones too. And just cause they differ from yours doesn’t mean you need to be so disrespectful. I’m not here to defend Shad. I disagree with a lot of what he says. I’m here cause I keep getting recommended your videos and don’t understand why? The way you talk about people disturbs me. I always find it simple to know who to listen to and take perspectives from. People that don’t have to make fun of people to make a point, and who respectfully recognize the other side while logically explaining theirs. I think you do some of these things which is great. But it’s some of the unnecessary comments like you had in your intro I feel are unhelpful and take away from what you are saying. Go ahead and keep joking about people in this way, sometimes it’s honestly funny. I’m sure people find it entertaining. I just feel it makes you look bad and harder to take.

should be noted that as far as armour in "hema" goes, it's very very uncommon in serious practise as a suitable set of gear runs you as much as a second hand car. the kind of gear Shad is running is off the shelf LARP stuff and there's really no connection at all between the two. "Hema" really concerns itself with historical practise and the more speculative, the less valid it is. "Hema" people also tend to travel to expose themselves to people who can contradict them and beat their ass, in order to learn. Shad does not do this. There is a chance you'll get commentary from people who do LARPing adjacent activities or the HEMA equivalent of tai chi, defending "big tent" hema, but don't get it twisted, these people are totally entitled to their activities but don't give themselves many opportunities to learn about fencing at all.

Shadiversity: "While you were partying, I studied the blade!" Sellsword Arts: "But like, have you actually studied the blade?" Shadiversity: "I've never been so attacked!"

Notice how Shad uses us, and we when talking about himself. It's always a classy act to drag your fans into the mud slinging. Also, most likely because of Shad's huge ego, won’t allow him to accept he may be the issue here.

I'm waiting for his mum to call him in from the bottom of the garden because dinner is ready.

Tyler your channel is awesome

The fact that Shad is walking around complaining about a Sellswords arts and having someone record this as some unscripted bit makes it even more cringe. Doesn't Shad have a tripod?

"learned swordfighting at BYU" is actually even funnier than intended because next door to BYU at UVU there is actually a legit swordfighting club called True Edge where Shad would be immediately laughed out of the room by other mormons who are not weirdos.

Deadlifts scare me. Every time I try them I feel like I'm about to tweak my back.

Glad I found this channel, it's really cool to see someone who doesn't actually do sword fighting so consistently *get* it. Goes to show how universal some things in martial arts are, like footwork and awareness of things like reach and "danger zones". Good stuff, Tyler 👌

He had a whole arch where he taught how to use a bow wrong for months.

Loved to see like a at dawn duel between these two

Footwork _is_ crucial in rugby. As a short guy (5'8") i was a winger and you had to fucking MOVE. And in the scrum if you arent planted properly you're fucked.

Content creators all know how frustrating it is to have to create content that they aren't passionate about. I do not know why Shad has such a difficult time understanding that. Pleasing algorithms sucks, just ask any artist who's ever made fanart, or writer who's had to write news articles to pay the bills...

34:42 As an epee fencer (epee is the sport fencing weapon based on small sword fencing, which resembles rapier quite a bit), you're completely correct. His posture, his guard positon (what I would call an engarde), his advances and retreats, his lunges, his bouncing, et cetera... they're great! When I teach new fencers, I don't let them use blades (or any other gear) for the first few sessions, I just drill them on footwork. It's how I was taught back when I was 11, and first learning to fence, and it's the best way to learn a martial art. As you clearly understand, footwork is absolutely vital. Also your point about crossing legs was great. In epee fencing, we only cross our legs in a specific attack called a fleche, where a fencer extends their arm, rebalances to their front foot, and pushes forward off their front foot into a run. This is intended to catch the other fencer off guard, and to be as fast as possible. It's also very risky, and most of the injuries in sport fencing (that I've seen) happen when a fencer attempts a fleche.

27:24 This bit in particular reminds me of the first time I realised someone on RU-vid was a charlatan, or might I say, the first charlatan I saw get himself "EXPOSED" - and that charlatan is GradeAunderA. Back when RU-vid drama was getting really out of hand due to Drama Alert and other actors actively going out of their way to make the site a more combative and overall toxic space, Markiplier and several other big RU-vidrs spoke out about this drama problem and how completely out of control it was getting. Grade was never actually named by them, but apparently a lot of people knew exactly who this applies to even though most likely none of these RU-vidrs even knew who tf he is. So anyway, Grade made this very vicious attack against especially Markiplier for reasons I never quite understood, and he even proceeded to claim the false high ground that he tries to stay as far away from drama as humanly possible. GradeA "EXPOSING other RU-vidrs left right and center" underA was trying to stay as far away from drama as humanly possible. A ton of his content was just "[Insert other RU-vidr here] EXPOSED" type videos. "Stay as far away from drama as humanly possible" my ass. And here he was actively creating more drama in the same video he claims to try and stay away from it, even making personal attacks against someone who never even mentioned him by name. Guess the people tracing this broad message about RU-vid's drama problem back to him specifically weren't that far off afterall.

The MMA references were fantastic here hahahah. Thank you for the comparison and roasting Shad as always.

"The gambeson stays on," is hilarious

“Sartre could not have predicted this.” Has earned you a new sub sir

I think the idea that martial arts are only valid when they're like 100% "real combat" is kind of toxic in general, a lot of martial arts are like cultural, they're perfromative, they're medatative and they're fun. Whilst its important to call out bad actors who like sell it as like real self defense or whatever its also important to lighten up a bit, realise its kind of fun to do some judo and throw your bros around. Or like stuff like kung fu can be really stylish and whilst someone like jackie chan might not actually be a master of combat, hes an incredible performer

can’t believe some one said Shad had Temu gambeson, never thought I’d have to say this while temu isn’t great that’s just doing them dirty

Wow. You took down my comment that was critical of your content. I didn't insult nor curse you at all. All I did was criticize your points in a respectful way and you took it down. This is very telling.

Him going on about how "we should never tell the plebs not to watch each other's videos even if you think mine are shite" reminds me SO MUCH of the long-standing blacklisting Sam Seder, the political commentator, is on... Because he's made it very clear that he WILL NOT play the RU-vid game if you're interviewing him. He will come to your platform because he thinks you're a bad person and a bad influence and that you should be stopped. Because that's what you do if you take your job seriously... You don't just politely nod while someone is ruining your entire field's credibility.

Shadiversity always fights his peasent-looking overweight employees. The guy he demonstated his double-whammy of a sword with wasn't even _attacking_ him when he presented 'how fast he could swing that thing around.'

The really great thing about HEMA is I never have to worry about seeing Shad at a tournament because he never fucking attends any
