https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsCGb8Y1e7c&ab_channel=GiftedHaterClips dropped twice today
I understand Joa's point but I wouldn't say it sounds to different from a kid ranting "of course I have the new iPhone, my parents are rich!". Like it makes sense but still sounds spoiled. The build your own park also sounds like if a rich kid said: "Why don't you just buy your own iPhone?". Not everyone's able to build a park let alone a good one

Ben and Joa are a charming duo. I hope they keep making videos together.

not a whole lot of logical thinking from either side here IMO. the fat nerd that GH keeps giving attention for no reason seems to believe that LA skaters aren't allowed to complain about anything, and if they do, that makes them spoiled. but I think the pad complaint is legitimate. if you build a park and no one skates it because they enforce a rule that doesn't exist or isn't enforced at 99% of other public skateparks, then yeah that's dumb. seems like a valid complaint.

but on the other hand GH thinks since skateboarding was invented in LA, skaters from LA can't possibly be spoiled. to me, it's complaining about insignificant shit like yellow accents that make LA skaters seem spoiled. or parks not being "unique" enough. or the spacing or flow of a giant beautiful skatepark not being quite right.

also it was cringe as fuck hearing GH yell "WE invented it!!!" multiple times. reminded me how corny a lot of LA people are. you were just born there dude. you didn't build or invent anything. you don't deserve nice skateparks anymore than someone who was born in Arkansas.

if this was my first time seeing GH I would think both of these guys are equally dumb. luckily GH has had some good takes in the past, but his analytical content is lacking lately. he honestly seems better suited to just do funny vlog shit, but that's seen as super corny to skaters, so I'm sure he's reluctant to fully lean into that kind of content.

EDIT: Just noticed your username along with the fact that you posted this video... sorry for calling you a fat nerd m8 (even though it's true hehehe)

OK so Culver City is kinda my local I guess. I've been maybe twice. It's pretty fucked on a couple of fronts but the main problem is that they built a huge bowl that nobody knows how to ride. Huge bowl means even little kids falling in is a risk and there isn't really a shallow end. Pretty sure it's over my head or maybe eye level and there's a loveseat that I think you're meant to pull yourself onto and then climb out of. That's fine for adult sized people but not great for the kids that will mostly use the place. So the helmet rule gets enforced and there's an city employee there when the park is open. I guess the story goes some vert pros who may or may not be with us anymore lived nearby and had input on what got built only to wind up mostly going to Vans. I've seen a couple of older dawn patrol skaters skate it for a half an hour or so and then it looks like a place older skate youtubers will drive to but mostly I don't think it gets the use that a proper skatepark layout would have gotten. The park was popping when they first opened but it's been over a decade now and I don't see many people there anymore.

My impression is that the city and CCPD are the problem rather than the park itself. From my (negative) interactions with the local cops, they still have that good ol' boy mentality despite that the city has been gentrified. During the first few years the park opened I remember they would shut it down for days or weeks at a time, for punishment, when they found kids without pads.

The park itself was built in the mid 2000s when there weren't a lot of true vert bowls. At that time it filled a void. The street course was an afterthought, so newer parks are clearly much better in that respect. 15+ years later, it didn't age well. People should be complaining about it.

Park is designed so fuckin poorly. I used to live within skating distance and I have a set of pads and even then I only went a handful of times. I’m not going to skate the 12ft bowl or the 10 stair handrail so I’d mostly do tricks on the tiny cement quarter running along the fence. Waste of space and tax dollars at this point.

Maybe having a bunch of kids is seen as irresponsible by gen z kids who grew up with doom and gloom of the impending end of the planet. I kinda see why they would view it that way but to comment on it on his platform is pretty distasteful.

I didn't watch the clip, so I don't know the tone in which it was conveyed, but I definitely agree with the sentiment. I have one kid and literally can't imagine the rationale for having more than 3.

Yeah I have 0 kids and want 0, but some people are just into that kind of life, and I think it's fine as long as you can support your family.

I guess it was his tone, probably. Like you would imagine he was talking about Dwight Howard having nine kids with seven women, or whatever his situation is (lol).

Not a big deal, just noting how attitudes have changed really. Tom grew up in a big family and seems to enjoy that kind of life: https://youtu.be/OLQn9kQxsZ0?t=325

Pretty fried take from GH tbh. Tom is not Nick Cannon just pumping out kids with a bunch of baby mommas.

He seems like he has a nice family, and has featured his kids and wife in a few vids.

i think, like people have said, it's a just gen z kid in their early 20's who genuinely can't get their head around the idea that some people get married and have kids. and to be fair, it probably would seem very alien to him.

And he’s unilaterally adopted Ben D as his dad……..how many kids is that now?  Maybe having kids is the key to longevity…..

Well it seemed like the whole point of that segment was just to force that joke three times. Was there even any commentary that was remotely interesting? He said what we all know, that Krooked is kinda boring, but fine, and a safe choice for someone at that point in their career. Riveting stuff. I guess you have to pay a monthly fee to hear him say anything slightly interesting nowadays.

Gifted Hater Ls are starting to pop up more and more frequently
[close]

While I didn't watch the video, I feel like it would have been less of a L if he had just left it up.

For those who watched it, was it really that offensive? Based on @swellbowed's outline, it seems on par with his typical content.
[close]

I got to watch and it wasn't really offensive at all. I have no idea why he would take it down.
[close]
I wonder if someone asked him to take it down or maybe he was second-guessing his take. Definitely interesting that vid went private, there had to be some type of reason for it
[close]

he reuploaded to his patreon with a preface saying he removed it because there was a section he felt a little naïve posting the video publicly which had a section about cultural appropriation, etc that at that time wasn't well thought out and realized sometimes the general youtube audience needs to have their hand held through what he's saying without it being looked at the wrong way or out of context. the version on patreon is a little more annotated than what was uploaded to youtube. he also felt as a white person, he doesn't have the say who gets to use black culture. bringing it back to where he strives to keep the channel not political.

imo, i think he should have uploaded the Ted/Jenkem video onto his YouTube and then the Kader/Violet video on Patreon.

he also seems a little burnt out. not uploading to youtube as frequently as he used to, on top of all the videos made on him following his street part, he said he does not like the current climate of youtube and finds it toxic and weird. he seems to be finding some solace when he twitch streams and has these patreon vids.

Started a channel based on being toxic and weird. Doesn't like how it's mirrored back. Ok.
