I also found it strange that Mush covered Al like if he was some kind of celebrity, which is not the case. Al was a commentary/rant kind of guy who got his niche little fanbase. That's all.
He did collab with Metokur over a decade ago and of course, the Chibi controversy that happened. Other than that, he's easily forgotten.
In fairness, Al
was a microcelebrity, albeit only by the metrics of very early youtube, and even then, Al was already crashing and burning badly in 2009 and never really recovered. The niche fanbase Al had got alienated by his incessant "poor woe me" faggotry and it reached a boiling point with the aforementioned GamerGate parasitism. Al was being regularly mocked by former longtime fans in the GamerGhazi subreddit.
I might try and find Al's GG videos on wayback machine one of these days; I'm kinda surprised they never got mentioned in the farms because it's unbelievably cringe shit, even by his already-dreadful standards.
Yep, Al loved to babysit Jim/Metocuck and signal to everyone how the two of them were BFFs (Note that this was around the time Jim was still obsessed with Spax3, and Spax is just a spic version of BigAl, so you can tell there was zero self-awareness with that crowd even back then). Apparently Al and Jim did a stream on the latter's InternetAristocrat, and it was so disastrous that it got taken down and wasn't even saved, because all of Jim's new fans were just relentlessly mocking Al throughout, and who could blame them? He's always been intensely unlikable and radioactive.
I never really followed the Chibi stuff closely. I do know that Al never shuts the fuck up about how "he felt betrayed by Chibi" or whatever manchild nonsense he spews, and he's been doing that for what, 15 years now? Creatures like him are so tiresome, as are his enablers.
