[Leravi The Hyena:33]

Like everyone tossing around SJW as an insult he is a professional "victim", always whining about being on the defense against all these "evil" femnazis and SJWs...

I lean more conservative in my political views ... and I despise people like Arch preying on the people weak of mind and exploiting their irrational fears to get clicks, or votes...no matter if left or right...though I have to say the right,, which is closer to my "side" actually, becomes more and more unbearable with their pathetic crying about SJW, PC Culture, and feminism ...

He's the Alex Jones of Total War? Everyone else put it best, really.
Dude talks big game, wouldnt know what to do if put in charge of the franchise, perhaps even run it into the ground. End of the day hes all talk, but damn is it annoying, and mildly harassing, seeing as how Wheels had something to say about him recently. Strangely he also doesn't really do much, just gets his fanbase to do all the work as seen from Rawfires thread on the subject.

[Mors Avis]

Can't say that I like him or hate him--he's just hopelessly tedious and too full of himself to take seriously.

It's like listening to someone who is desperately trying to impress you, while also using laughably stilted speech and reading from a teleprompter.

He's about as stimulating as an ice cream headache.

Watched one of his videos ages ago and didnt find it enjoyable.

He reviewed tomb kings with the radious mod installed. That's some Big Brain stuff. Oh and he outright lied about the Rome women general fiasco to push his agenda. His Lore videos are straight up copied from the wiki, mixed in with some political bollocks.

And this.

And just generally the fact that he can't be bothered to be properly descriptive when it comes to 40k or WHFB lore, because he doesn't really have a clue. It's bad enough that I'd trust 1d4chan more readily than his content.

Used to watch him years ago but the steady decline in quality was pretty visible. People have already mentioned it but the lack of basic fact checking, his tendency to fill in gaps or simply tangent with his own versions of things, and the needless sensationalism all just made it more unwatchable in the end.
Sometimes you can tell he's trying to be funny but if you don't couch some of the things he says in some kind of satire or greater contextual setup, you're actually just another person saying horrible things.
This last one's just a personal thing but anyone who un-ironically says things like sjw, cuck, diversity-hire or any of those other nonsense buzzwords, I really just can't take them seriously as a source, and it sort of reached critical mass on that channel.

I used to dislike him when he stop doing Warhammer fantasy lore videos, but now he's kinda got back to it, so I'm back at loving him.

His lore videos are not the most accurate but I greatly admire his passion, you can feel how much he loves it when he speaks.
He talks about Warhammer like he's describing a family member, thats kinda how I talk when I'm having conversations about my favorite franchises with my friends.

He's a pretty chill dude in my opinion. I bet that in person he would be a much better human being than most of the people that consider the guy a literal raving nazi. Hypocrisy is cute isn't it?

I don't see any hypocrisy

So you assume he is a nice guy, without knowing ofc, and based on that you think that people disliking him (and calling him alt-left) would be hypocritical?

You might want to use the dictionary a bit more often, friend.

I used to like him, but his content has gotten worse and worse over the years. These days he lies constantly, often needlessly, to stir up controversy and get his clicks.
Also, he just straight up lied about Rome 2's female generals and their distribution there of, and I at first believed him, until I did my own research. The fact that he tricked me, even if only for a short time, is what makes me hate him.

[Obamenau]

Main ones:

Inaccuracy: on occasion gives hos own spin to the lore without mentioning in ( basically fan theories).

Politics: Arch has some very rightwing political views, which sometimes flow into his warhammer videos.
For example: a decent chunk of his "tau, conquest through subversion" video is thinly veiled criticism of communism.

Arch himself: Some dislike how Arch speaks. His fake accent with his rolling Rs and sometimes somewhat arrogant attitude is not for everyone.

Fake news: this is a smaller one but arch has recently spread false information that TW 3 kingdoms would be banned or censored in China.


Just summing up some of the most common criticisms.

[Dreagon]

Mostly his constant whining, immature political opinions and "jokes".

[Goose]

I used to watch him but got bored of his whining, sounds like a 12 year old who didn't get his lollipop

also the way he speaks is annoying

Other than that he likes to start petty drama

I thought I'd never hear that someone is bothered by the way he talks. It's not that he sounds rude, but damn. Every topic sounds like it's being condescended upon.
