I'm just gonna come out and say i really don't like a lot of web famous people. Maybe this just what happens when people have lots of outlets and no publicists, but regardless, many of them seem to be stupid, lazy, stagnant, or just not entertaining. This really isn't helped when you shove them into a video game, especially when the selling point of that part of the game is "look, (youtube flavor of the month) is in this! BUY BUY BUY!" Case in point, A fucking boring minecraft player gets to be playable in a SEGA game. Not just portraying a character, but themselves being playable. Even if it is for charity, it's a lot of fucking effort to put in to model, animate, voice, and do a whole bunch of stuff for someone who really hasn't done much (that i'm aware of), especially with their kickstarted Maybe I'm too anal about this stuff, but when things like this happen, I fear there may come a time where PewPewPie might get a starring role in a game, or the Game Grumps will get their own MOBA, and they won't be made because there's passion behind them, but because they have brand recognition. In fact, it looks like it's already started. pleez done call me edgy il cry :'( |

"Hey doofuses, this guy's popular! Let's add him to our products!!! RATINGS BOOST!" I miss the times when it limited to Fast food mascots and Basketball players. |

Who the fuck is Ash...? Yeah, I'm not terribly keen on eCelebrities getting their faces plastered on everything. I don't know if this is an outdated view, but real life and internet culture don't mix well. At all. |

I think there was this one guy that I used to be subscribed to, UberHaxorNova, that literally voiced a pogo man character in Happy Wheels. Really, it's a cheap way of getting people flocking to your game. |

Well, it already happened in cinema. Fred got a fucking movie. As long as entertainment makes money and people have no shame in whoring themselves out, this shit'll keep happening. Which means it'll go on forever. And it'll only get worse. Only literature really seems to escape this. Then again, it has its own problems to contend with. Still, I wonder what it would be like.

there's poo-dumb-pie fanfics so i guess ecelebs have sort of wormed their way into literature. I remember seeing a marysue who was shipped with the nostalgia critic |

After Fifty Shades of Grey, I'm sure thousands of people are using ctrl+f to turn their shitty sue fic into a multimillion dollar franchise. And I bet some of them literally will. |
