History YMMV / Thecynicalbrit

** His hatred of 30 FPS. Some people are not fans of these rants, to say the least, whereas others think it's entirely fair.

* InternetBackdraft: After it transpired that he had terminal cancer, a post on [[Website/{{Reddit}} /r/Games]] was removed after getting over four thousand upvotes. Fans were initially annoyed about this, with some pointing out it might have been done to prevent spam and by accident. It later turned out that the majority of the moderators were okay with the subreddit, but that one [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement has a grudge against TB]] and [[BlatantLies insisted the ban was due to TB not being "relevant" to the gaming industry]], despite him being the #1 UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} curator, plus having two million subs and having been involved in quite a few gaming incidents such as ''Guise of the Wolf'' and ''Day One: Garry's Incident''; this was only made worse when it turned out that other posts about Creator/MontyOum's death, plus Ryan Davis [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/3p0rcd/addressing_the_recent_mod_actions_regarding_rule/cw24gru and many others]], had been left up. At this point, annoyance turned to frothing-at-the-mouth anger, and the moderator responsible has been brigaded into oblivion, with many unsubbing from /r/Games in disgust.

** His hatred of 30 FPS. Some people are not fans of these rants, to say the least.

** He also holds Creator/PlatinumGames in high regard, due to consistently making great, well polished, complex titles that would make anyone feel like complete and total {{Badass}}es (as well as making the PC release of VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance [[PolishedPort actually pretty decent]]).

** When people asked him for his opinion on Videogame/DiabloIII and he criticised certain aspects of the game like the [[MemeticMutation memetically]] infamous "Error 37" of the servers and the fact that it wouldn't have happened if the game had offline capability, he was loudly called out on it.

** In one of the VideoGame/{{Terraria}} episodes with him and WebVideo/{{Jesse|Cox}}, Jesse tells TB that some people write SlashFic of them, which TB's reaction is that he doesn't want to live anymore. Come his ''WTF Is...Super Awesome Wagon Adventure'' video, where he names his wagon crew based on them, has a event where [[spoiler: his character and Jesse falls in love and have sex]].

** During his [[DoubleMeaningTitle TORk]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1ls5L4blYM&feature=g-user-shu&list=SL podcast]] with his wife Genna Bain and OMFGCata, he ends it with the following quote, and is promptly called out on it by his wife.

** While TB has cut ties with the Yogscast as a whole, his fanbase seems to absolutely adore LetsPlay/{{Sips}}, if the reddit announcement of Sips being on the podcast is any indication. There's also a fair degree of overlap between fans of LetsPlay/{{Strippin}} and TB, as well as B-Lister [=PyrionFlax=].

* EightPointEight: In his God Hand [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings "This is Why we Can't Have Nice Things"]] Video, he believes that one of the reasons God Hand failed to sell could have been IGN's 3.0/10 review.

** Fans of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} and TB used to mostly get along well, but they do occasionally have the odd dispute. Many fans still like both regardless and have compared it to parents fighting. After Simon made some inappropriate comments (including calling TB a "crying pissbaby,") TB officially cut off ties with them as a group.

* DontShootTheMessage: His acerbicness is a huge BaseBreaker. While his willingness to not mince words when soapboxing is part of the appeal for some, quite a lot of people who would have otherwise agreed with him on many issues find him too sanctimonious or offputtingly rude.

** Social Justice Warriors

** In his Content Patch video on the Nintendo Content ID fiasco, he addresses the futility of comparing video games to other forms of media by saying that in a game like chess, one can adjust the rules without the constraints of an engine by moving the pieces wrong, and said that video games don't usually do that. Fast-forward around a year later, and along comes ''Tabletop Simulator'', a game that features exactly that kind of rulebending as one of its most prominent features.

** He actually ''dares'' say bad things about certain Indie games with [[SacredCow Immunity To Criticism]] - And naturally if you look at the comments, you'll see a lot of this.

** His insistence of picking apart the options menu in many games has split the audience between those who are as insistent on the matter as he is, and those who only want to see gameplay. In videos that go on longer than a half an hour, he will usually provide an annotation to skip right to gameplay.

** With WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue and WebVideo/JesseCox.

* InternetBackdraft: His involvement in "Gamergate", as well as the degree of his involvement, has made him a divisive figure in the eyes of some fans; [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement let's leave it at that]]

** In a harsher incident, TB's recent product that he sold through Rodeo Arcade was a shirt and poster combination parodying ''Series/BreakingBad'', making him out as Walter White with the slogan "I am the one who mocks." A pretty good parody until recent events when he was diagnosed with colon cancer.

** He HATES the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim arrow-to-the-knee]] meme with a passion, but uses other memes from time to time

** He also holds Creator/PlatinumGames in high regard, due to consistently making great, well polished, complex titles that would make anyone feel like complete and total {{Badass}}es (as well as making the PC release of MetalGearRisingRevengeance [[PolishedPort actually pretty decent]]).

** His hatred of 30 FPS. According to John, even though he knows his eyes can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 (or higher) it matters to him. Some people (particularly console gamers who are tired of hearing how much they suck for this) are not fans of these rants, to say the least.
