the ew crew got some serious balls to be dropping a tomee bear plush instead of addressing the sexual allegations made against Bing

[lbat1901]

Ok I've seen an anon complaining about axewieldingmaniac-withasword drawing tom and edd differently from what they are in canon and I just want to add my two cents.

I'll keep this sweet and short: it's 2021. Why are you complaining about an artist's interpretation of literal fictional characters?

If they want to draw tom and edd in a different ethnicity, let them. In fact everyone should be able to draw their interpretation of any eddsworld character without getting flack for it.

To the people who are complaining about an artist's interpretation of fictional characters: just remember that it's not the artist's problem, it's your problem that you have something against it and proceed to give the artist in question flack for it. So, suck it up buttercup.

[lbat1901]

I don't like that fact that people bring up Edd for discourse and saying that he would be disappointed in this if he was alive, but....in all honesty,....

The only thing he would be disappointed in would both Bing and Matt, but he would mostly be disappointed in Matt the most considering what's been happening recently...

Rantception S1•E1 - princeofmints exposed | ft. TatSquirp

(I am about a month late on posting this here)

Welcome to the first episode of my brand new series titled Rantception where I talk about a topic or some unfortunate soul who became a total jerk as of recently. I am starting this series off by talking about the user by the name of princeofmints.

princeofmints is apart of the Eddsworld community and they are apart of the official EW Amino, Tumblr, and Instagram. Unfortunately princeofmints is in some hot water right now.

Oh and before I get to that, I just want to make this clear, the princeofmints that I am referring to isn't the one who made tomtord p*rn. This princeofmints is actually accused of tracing and being a total d*ck.

Also they got banned from Amino, but they are still going strong on both Tumblr and Instagram.

One more thing: don't harass them. Instead I want you to stop supporting them. Don't not praise them.

With that out the way, let's get into the news.

I unfortunately didn't know any of this drama that happened till seeing callout posts about it. But I used to like princeofmints's posts until what happened recently.

I decided to to take a look at their wall after seeing a few callout posts on them before they got taken down.

Annnnnd yeah.....they are such an arsehole. Just...just look at these screenshots....

(the third one is my favorite in terms of arsehole energy that's being radiated from it)

I'll be honest with you, the third is the one that show the bitterness of princeofmints. Trying to guilt trip you. I'm sorry to say this, but it's not working. Nice try.

Now I'll handing the rest of this over to the one and only Squirp/TatSquirp who've agreed to be on the show and I certainly didn't kidnap them.

Squirp: ...Why am I here? Why am I tied u-

Lbat1901(me): Shhhh! Just give the audience your side on this

Squirp: Ok, fine...*clears throat*....so a week ago, I've made a callout post exposing princeofmints titled "Dethroning a Prince". It took me awhile to everything and not too soon after posting it on Animo, I've also posted it on Instagram.

Oh boy...it got taken down. No actually I got told by a model on Animo to take it down which I did while on Instagram it got flagged for harassment. I eventually reposted it.

princeofmints (or what I like to call her, Prince) is a 15 year old artist who mostly draws Tom, Tord, and the ship TomTord. She was on the EW Amino since January 13th of this year before getting banned. S

Alright with that out of the way, I'll try to make this brief

She also has been known to cause quite the trouble.

I have been caught up to speed on what Prince has done even learning th as t she had actually scammed someone.

I believe that Lbat told you this already, but Prince's name was stolen by someone who has the same name, but let's dwell on this.

Part 1 - Tracing:

Squirp: Ok so, a few days ago some of my friends and I looked at one of Prince's art and discovered that it was traced from an already existing drawing made by P-Nim. Of course Prince denied this and claimed that it was her own art.

Ok I'll make this clear, Prince didn't draw it for a DTIYS. If Prince didn't trace it then she shouldn't be claiming it as her own.

Also if you want to compare posts or have a look for yourself, you can't cause she deleted it. So much for being reasonable which goes into this next part....

Part 2 - Blocking those who've cornered you for being unreasonable:

Squirp: Oh yes, just like TBATF, Prince also blocks people for calling her out. Unlike TBATF who only block people for giving them criticism and calling them out on their behavior, Prince blocks people for many reasons.

One of them being totally unreasonable. She blocked one of my friends who called her out for tracing. Prince even deleted several comments when trying to defend herself for being called out before deciding to hit the block button.

She even blocked me after I tried to call her out on her wall. I did PM her a few days later about and guess what her response was. The reason why she blocked me was because she didn't like me.

My god....that has to be most stupidest as all hell reason to block someone and folks, we're on the second part on this and things are already getting heated.

Part 3 - Being a b*ch isn't all that cool:

Squirp: Hold on a minute, why is b*ch censored?

(Editor: that's because it's Lbat's show and I am meant to help with anything that Lbat puts out for everyone to see)

Squirp: Yeah, but why? Who cares anyway?

(Editor: well you're probably have a point, but it's my job. Now are you going to continue to argue or are you going to keep going with your side of the story?)

Squirp: I am...geez! I've never meant an editor that's who picky. This isn't YouTube with the whole COPPA thing you know.

Anyway..... pt 3....Prince has to be one of the biggest d*cks that I have ever talked to and- oh my god, why would you censor the word- forget it. Forget it...

Erm...yeah....she cursed at some many people that it's just mindboggling. She's not the most pleasant person to talk to on Amino or anywhere else.

Before you say that she probably has some mental health issues, don't even bother. Well I know she does has some issues, but it doesn't give her the excuse to not be a total d*ck. People who do have issues are at least well spoken and are respectful to others.

But Prince on the other hand, not a freaking single chance.

Part 4 - Stop acting sad:

Squirp: You're probably thinking to yourself, "Wow, Prince is a jerk" and you'd be right. But to make matters worse, she likes to guilt trip people.

How? Well she tries to make you feel sorry for her by giving you a sad sad tale before deciding to cuss you out.

That's right, it's pretty low for her. I don't need to explain why this is bad just because it is. It's really scummy especially when she's in the wrong here. Next!

Part 5 - Don't let Prince do commissions. EVER:

Oh yeah, she actually did this. I did found the person who got scammed and they are a person known as BadBoy.

You see BadBoy commissioned Prince to do a drawing for 92 coins. Unfortunately for BadBoy, Prince said that the price was actually lower than that. But it gets much much worse than that.

Prince got wicked with them and refused to give other pieces of art to BadBoy. Eventually BadBoy had enough and asked for a refund. That's when things started to escalate really fast.

Prince told BadBoy to piss off. After a long battle, Prince gave BadBoy 72 coins back when BadBoy asked for a full refund.

Squirp: I have been saving this part for last and it gave me a reason to make a callout on Prince in the first place. She literally scammed someone over 72 coins.

In summary, Prince just stole BadBoy's money and was a total d*ck towards them.

And that should do it for now, but I one final message to Prince. If you're reading this now while getting harassed for being callout for your crap: none of this, and I stress this a lot, none of this wouldn't have happened if you were to just act a tad bit kinder and a whole bit wiser.

Oh and maybe if you would've just listened. Also running away from your problems, lying, and pretending that they didn't happen makes you look like the bad guy here.

You know, I wouldn't mind you being on Animo at all if you just shallow your pride and try to do better by apologizing to everyone.

I didn't mean to make my callout post to hurt you in a way. In fact, I still believe that you can change. But atlas, your problems need to be addressed to make that happen.

All you need to do is try. That's it. That's all I ask for.

Lbat1901(me): *claps* Nicely done, Squirp. Nicely done.

Squirp: Thanks Lbat. It's been a pleasure being on here. Now can I go home now?

Lbat1901(me): Uhh.....*walks away from Squirp and walks out of the room before shutting the door*

Squirp: Lbat? Uh Lbat? Lbat? This isn't funny! Untie me! Hey cameraman, you're still here. Untie me, please

Camraman: *shrugs before shaking their head*

Squirp: What do you mean no? Ugh!

{screen cuts to Lbat sitting in a chair}

Lbat1901(me): Well that's the end of the first episode of Rantception. I want to thank TatSquirp for coming on and helping me out. Please check them out on the EW Amino and possibly their Instagram as well while you're at it.

Is Pokemon Sword and Shield Bad?

Last time we've talked about Pokemon it was about the many flaws and problems of Charizard. Now it would seem that we're talking about the new main series games Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Oh boy.......

Prior before their release there has been a lot of controversy about them that sparked some pretty heated things.

The ratings for the game on Metacritic were high, but the user....yeesh....that's low. Yeah people have been saying that Sword and Shield are the worst Pokemon games ever.

Hmm....sounds familiar. Are we going back on the topic on how people say that Gen 5 were considered to be the worst games in the series? Because it sounds like we are.

Anyway, the biggest thing that has been talked about has to be the Pokedex cut which cut out a whole lot of Pokemon. I can see why this is so controversial. Game Freak basically Thanos snapped about half of the Pokemon. They said that they are making new models for them, but word got out stating that it was a lie and that they've reused the 3DS models.

Speaking of 3DS models, the other thing that people complained about was that some areas of the game look like they belong on a 3DS. Well yes, but not really. There some parts of the game that look good. My prime example would be when you first visit Ballonea. You're going through a dark forest and the next thing you know, you've enter a beautiful fairy city at the end.

This thing is just....oh my god. I was already a fan of mythical things and love the idea of a fairy city that's deep in a forest that nobody has ever gone in. This is just stunningly gorgeous. Also since we're on the topic of Ballonea, I just to say that Opal is my favorite gym leader while Raihan is my second favorite. This old lady has class and I just love her personality.

We're getting very sidetracked here. Now the true question. Is Pokemon Sword and Shield bad? No. The reason being why is because despite its many controversial topics, I've enjoyed playing through Pokemon Sword.

Yeah the whole cut of the Pokedex and seeing our favorite Pokemon not making the cut sucks, but to be honest, I think it's a good thing. It gives me less stress of trying to catch them since there's so many of them now unlike previous games. I've completed the Pokedex twice. The first being Pokemon Yellow and the second being Pokemon Platinum and let me tell you it wasn't easy. Pokemon Platinum took forever and if I ever wanted to start over, I won't be able to complete the Poked ex since Nintendo shut down Nintendo Wifi for its older consoles and handhelds.

I also want to point out that I am no professional critic. I'm just simply a random person on the internet talking about my views and opinions. If you dislike the new Pokemon games that's fine. It's your opinion and I can't say anything that would change your mind.

Oh and before I go, Rose has one heck of a battle theme. He basically took Ghetsis' chrous. Instead of hearing “Dennis” we now have “Ho ho Santa reply”. Plus Rose is didn't went mad with power like the other Pokemon villains did, he was just calm which I like.

The Problem With Charizard

Oh my oh my........I am so going to piss a lot of people off with this, but mainly the Charizard fanboys and the diehard fans.

So if you haven't been up to date and that you picked up Pokemon Sword and Shield, let's just say that there's a huge problem with Charizard.

Now before you slam down some hateful comments, let me just say this as Charizard lover myself, I don't hate Charizard.

So what's the problem with Charizard I here you ask?

Well let's go back to the year 2013 where Pokemon X and Y were released. These games were the first to introduce Mega Evolution and they brought back the Kanto starters and gave them Mega Evolutions.

However, things weren't all that great especially when Charizard has two Mega Evolutions while the other two Kanto starters only have one.

Why Game Freak? Why would you give Charizard two Mega Evolutions? That's not fair.

You would like that things can't get any worse, but oh boy, they sure do.

When Pokemon Sword and Shield were released there has been some backlash.

Like they gave Charizard another form more basically a Gigantmax form while they kicked the fans who love Bulbasaur and Squirtle along with their evolutionary lines to the curb by cutting them from the game.

Even if they were in the game, it wouldn't feel right to see that they don't have a Gigantmax form.

It seems that Game Freak likes to favor Charizard and neglect the other two Kanto starters

Plus there are people out there who say that Charizard is way too overrated and it hurts me to say this, but they are right

Things need to change

[lbat1901]

They did it.....they actually f**king did it.... Yeah I know that I'm like two days of late but I was trying so hard not to have a mental breakdown about it Axel Voss....I thought you knew better. I gave you....I gave you a chance. I trusted you not to screw things up and listen to the people.....and ya darn goof'd it up Why man? Why? Just why? Why!? I may have stated that the FCC getting rid of Net Neutrality was bad, but noW I'm saying that Article 13 getting passed is even worse "Aw relax Lbat, it won't take effect till March 2021. So what's the big deal? You still have freedom to do memes and other things" Let me stop you right there buddy. That may be true, but I'm literally freaking out right now and you're telling me to calm down!? How can I? "If you're so paranoid then, why not you just move to the US then?" Oh I would love to, but...the US currently some....issues right now. However, I might consider putting that down as Plan C ....No wait....Plan C is run to the hills and scream very loudly at the top of my lungs. So.....perhaps Plan D maybe? And people try to tell me that the older folks would do a far better job at running the government. Here's the catch though: THEY DONT HAVE A F**KING CLUE ON WHAT THEYRE F**KING DOING Anyway....all I can do for now is dab and protest like there's no tomorrow. I must the powers that be And oh, one final message: F**k Article 13, f**k the EU, and f**k everyone who allowed this abomination to get passed

[lbat1901]

I’ve never mentioned to anyone that I have autism and yet I should. However, I have been through many years of constant bullying all because I was different making me not want to share.

To keep my story short, I had a really bad time back in grade school. I had to get help on things on a daily basis and back then, I didn’t have any emotions. However, this goes right into today’s topic.

As years passed with new information being thrown at me. I fully realize that I can see things that nobody cannot see along with being able to adapt in many unique ways.

As a person who has experience difficult times you think that I wouldn’t be aware when people believe that autism comes from vaccines. Oh that’s where you’re wrong. Vaccines don’t cause autism; sure they do have side effects, but autism isn’t one of them. Nowadays researchers believe that air pollution causes autism

……….that’s just a total sack of bullsh*t right there.

Now I heard crazy stories back at the end peak of the year 1999, people used to believe that the 2000s were going to screw things up. Now it’s air pollution that is said to cause autism. As said by Bill Nye himself, “this just makes no f**king sense. I mean it’s just bullsh*t”.

Also don’t get me started on autism being used as an insult. It just grinds my gears.
