Uncle Roger HATE Asian People

Uncle Roger sucks. But that’s how crappy characters are. However, unlike other content creators on this platform, rather than waste my breath attacking a harmful caricature, I find it more effective to just criticize the creators of crappy characters instead. Because then, they can’t just shift blame & divorce themselves from any accountability under the guise of the character being the one at fault & not themselves

Thankfully, Nigel Ng isn’t a character, and imo, homie’s kinda lame. But there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with being lame. I also happen to be lame at times. Being problematic, however, isn’t very cool. Especially when you continue to do it, despite “potentially” being aware of the harm it contributes to others. Very not cool of you, Nigel. Anyway, in this video, I breakdown not just why Uncle Roger sucks, but also why Nigel isn’t a very cool dude. So instead of supporting a person who makes a living spreading ignorance & problematic imagery, y’all should watch my content instead

(P.S. in case I’m missing some clip timestamps, they should still be found within the videos. If not, feel free to drop a comment. But generally, I tried to persevere the clips in their full context the best I could. Any editing was to avoid copyright rather than to skew the meaning of Nigel’s words)
