#Inthink I stopped after he beefed with someone over nunchucks and the opposition to him introduces himself his experience and his lineage

[env0]

Honestly, not surprising. His channel and content has plummeted to him using shitty logic fallacies to insult people that have actual experience training with martial arts, hema, and other weapon styles to posit against his facts and logic testing that was often flawed or skewed. He would get into fights with other you tubers. Regularly shill his horribly reviewed book. All while presenting himself as an expert amongst other medievalists online. His very name, Shadeversity, leading people to believe in his expertise. His videos of him sitting as an armchair expert. Literally sitting in a throne in front of a bookshelf. Wearing fancy armor. Weirding fancy weapons. He just parades as someone who knows and demands all the respect. All while insulting others who pose any viewz experience, or research that might contradict with his views. This only got worse when he hired on a larger staff to make more content. He had a literal cult of followers.

All to say his book was full of a main character that was both inadequate and always at a loss but continually so powerful and important he never lost and others were in awe. All the women were super stereotyped. So from his boob videos, other statements on women, his book full of Mormon extremism. His ai art is not surprising, but furthering disappointment that his following still exists.

Do you remember that Aussie sword guy who used to talk about medieval weapons?

And, like, he seemed pretty good at talking about swords and shit. He seemed to have a good grasp of the history and tactics. He'd analyze movie weapons for their realism and that was fun. He did demonstrations with real weapons. For a time I really looked forward to his videos popping up in my feed.

He seemed like a harmless sword-fighting aficionado.

But then I guess he wanted to spread his wings. So he started down an anti-woke path. Giving questionable critiques about media and feminism. He started defending boob armor by showing historical examples even though most of those were decorative and not battle ready like in the games.

Then he admitted he was a fan of The Daily Wire.

And that was disappointing.

I missed him nerding out about swords, ya know?

Well, Shad decided to spread his wings again.

He has become...

*bad French accent* An artiste.

You see, he types words into a little box. Then a little robot does a google image search and steals a bunch of art. Then that robot reconfigures that art to be nearly indistinguishable from the source material. Well... aside from the occasional artist watermark.

Whoops!

A.I. art is very difficult. Sometimes when you type words into the box you get a woman with 5 lopsided anime tiddies. Or 20 fingers on one hand. It takes time and effort and experience to type in the perfect magic words so that you get something close to your imagination that doesn't belong in some sort of Lovecraftian horror ripoff.

For example, check out this cool "pirate hat" I asked A.I. to place on my head.

Clearly, I am not skilled enough at typing words into a box to get a proper pirate hat.

It. Is. Not. Easy.

I heard someone say you have to type things in a box for 10,000 hours before you start getting truly masterful generations.

I mean, you can't type "marathon runners" and expect that to actually work.

THIS REQUIRES SKILL, PEOPLE.

And I am a lowly amateur. I can only dream of becoming the box-typist Shad has honed himself into.

The thing is... Shad is very upset.

He is upset that you don't like his "art" and he is ready to die on this hill.

So... before he croaks on a mound of bullshit, he has something to show you. He has created something truly brilliant and when you see it, he is convinced you will validate his considerable efforts.

Before I show you his "Not. Easy." artistic masterpiece I'd like you to sit with what he has said for a second.

Ruminate in the verbiage.

Process the ideas and points of view presented.

Digest his plea for you to accept and love his hard won battle after typing words into a box to manifest his imaginings.

Have you sat?

Ruminated?

Processed?

Digested?

Okay, here it is...
