If you don't like excruciating detail and pedantry, stay away from his channel

MauLer is definitely not for everyone

MauLer's own fanbase meme that part They call him the "Longoid"

Yeah

I heavily disagree with that It can be unfair, if it's done in bad faith and the responding party constantly strawman's the views of the one being responded But it can be fair if done in good faith and with a good dose of iron-manning HBomberGuy once did a nearly 2-hour long video defending Dark Souls 2 and dunking on MatthewMattosis in the process, misrepresenting his points and disingenuously editing out important parts from it. And few people bat an eye. MauLer then did an in-depth 10 hour long deconstruction of Bomber's response and played his entire video in order to provide the most accurate framing possible. And people shit on it because it's too long.

There isn't There can be But it's not a surefire thing As I've said, it depends on the approach taken

Except you don't know if it's that Saying that the sole purpose is "proving the person wrong" is reduction to absurdism It can be that, for sure. There are many bad faith responses out there

I will watch the podcast myself and see what it's all about

If you actually go through a person's argument and comb them, exploring them and also using them as a springboard to explore other topics, that is entirely fine That is not close minded at all And if reeks of an argument someone who did not watch the podcast in question would deliver As you can not possibly be sure as to if they simply attack and insult the person in question of if they're more interested in exploring the arguments given in the review itself

There is value and merit in reviewing criticism Saying there isn't is honestly close-minded It's all about the approach

It's not

I would like not to draw arbitrary time limits over how long your reviews and/or responses can be

Length is not an issue, it's all about the approach

Smudcast and his buddy MauLer like to do responses, there's nothing wrong with it

Why is that a problem

I thought it was always night in Canada

Not like that matters Because all times of the day are lived in constant sadness

It's already afternoon here
