=Mother's Basement=

Geoff Thew AKA Mother's Basement is a YouTuber who makes anime and game analysis videos. He is infamous for his SJW beliefs and shilling for corporations like Crunchyroll.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He claimed E;R is a Nazi because of a joke and was putting the anime community in a bad light while aiding the alt-right.
 * 2) Hypocrisy: A lot of people pointed out Mother's Basement's hypocrisy, pointing out that while he claimed E;R was a Nazi, he watched animations from Japan, a very xenophobic country. He also criticized Goblin Slayer for having rape in it. This is hypocritical because he praises Berserk that's also known to have rape in it.
 * 3) He's been shown to be a corporate shill for Funimation and Crunchyroll.
 * 4) Supported #KickVic and when shown evidence that Vic is innocent, he dismissed it.
 * 5) He once called himself the "pope of anime", which shows how egotistical he is.
 * 6) During his review of the Konosuba movie, he went on a long tangent about how the joke of Kazuma being disgusted that Sylvia has a penis is transphobic, which it isn't.
 * 7) When talking about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure he made the statement that fans should skip certain parts and watch them out of order, when in doing so would ruin certain aspects of the story. This is something that many people in the comments called him out on.
 * 8) *Not only that, he said you have to skip Part 2 because there's a Nazi character.
 * 9) He once made a video saying there is NO good reason to pirate anime, when there is a good reason since some shows may not be on any streaming service, people may not want to support Funimation or Crunchyroll, or because someone wants to watch anime but doesn't speak English or Japanese.
 * 10) He doesn't respect other people's opinions. A good example is his Detroit: Become Human video where (when talking about David Cage's writing) he said, "You're allowed to think David Cage is good at what he does and I'm allowed to think you're wrong".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) When YouTuber Exub1a was found to have multiple reports of rape, Geoff helped the police track Exub1a down after he found out he was on the run.
 * 2) He does have nice voice.

Comments
Joseph "Joey" Bizinger (born: September 28, 1994 [age 26]), AKA The Anime Man, is an Japanese-Australian YouTuber who is known for making videos about the latest anime and manga and using very lewd images from manga for clickbait thumbnails and occasionally putting "porn" or "hentai" in the title. He rose to fame because of his Let's Plays, anime, and Japan-related content. He currently has 2.86M subscribers.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) His thumbnails and titles are more clickbait than ever as he will (majority of the time) use a sexually suggestive image for the thumbnail and sometimes put either "porn" or "hentai" in the title.
 * 2) His content is very lazy now since he makes generic challenge videos and his reviews and discussions of manga and anime isn't convincing and he mostly makes observation that anybody can make just by reading or watching whatever manga or anime it may be.
 * 3) His comedy is very dry and boring as he will constantly use the same format of rubbing his chin before saying something that's self-demeaning or melodramatically build up a really simple joke.
 * 4) He openly supports loli hentai and constantly defends saying that it's "just a drawing". While that maybe true, why would you watch pornography of someone that resembles a child having sex?
 * 5) What's worse is his Twitter where constantly likes tweets from hentai artists, which includes loli hentai.
 * 6) He doesn't review much anime tv shows nowadays, but mostly manga. He did explain on his podcast that this is due to him getting burnt out on watching anime.
 * 7) He's seemingly abandoned a number of his series like WTF Japan.
 * 8) When he criticized the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2017 he claimed they picked the wrong winners for a lot of the categories, when you can't necessarily say the picks were wrong. You can disagree with the picks, but it just comes across as him being upset that his choice didn't get picked.
 * 9) He doesn't seem to understand certain aspects of literature as he stated that a protagonist can't be a villain since he claims that that would make them the protagonist and antagonist, which doesn't make sense and is not how that works.
 * 10) Hypocrisy: He once stated that he hates the English Dub for Samurai Champloo calling it terrible, even going as far as to call Steve Blum a "shitty voice actor", yet praised Cowboy Bebop's English Dub despite Steve Blum providing the voice for Spike.
 * 11) He can't handle criticism as he went onto criticize Yuri on Ice!! and when people started calling him homophobic, he made a video apologizing only to delete it soon after. He was also offended when someone jokingly called him a "Karen" on a Trash Taste stream.
 * 12) He constantly makes the claim that he's trying to improve his content, which isn't true since (as evident by this page and pointers) his content has gotten worse.
 * 13) His Patreon also seems to be a scam in the case of his $5 tier. He said that you can see the Director's Cut of videos and see things that had to be cut for censorship reasons. This is not true as his video "I Spent a Day at Japan's Cosplay PӨɌN Studio" didn't have any raunchy content like he said there would. Something his own subreddit criticized him for.In fact, the only thing uncensored was the cussing.
 * 14) *It's also possible that he started dong this because of the massive spike in patreons for the uncensored hentai episode of Trash Taste since that episode aired in November and he started the Director's Cut reward in March.
 * 15) This isn't the only scam he's been involved in as he was a part of the Flying Colors Foundation and according to users he was deleting comments about FCF after it was found out to be a scam.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is very knowledgably about anime.
 * 2) The editing of his videos have improved since he hired Mudan.
 * 3) He used to make more original content back then.
 * 4) His podcast with Gigguk and CDawgVA is entertaining and great to listen to.
 * 5) He seems like a decent person in real life.
