Worse is that, unlike say, [=DarksydePhil=] or Norman Boutin, Noah is framed as egotistical and causing his own misfortune, but also as a victim of his own mental problems that eventually broke him down over time.

** The downfall ''Sonichu and Christian Weston Chandler'': he's practically banned from the majority of stores, his community college, and other public places due to his strange behavior, thus he effectively cut off from the outside world. He gets bullied by the trolls so much that he outright becomes paranoid and blames the trolls for killing his father when he died of a heart attack. Christian lives just with his mom as [[TrashOfTheTitans the entire house builds up with trash and other junk]] that they horde while he spends himself into debt with his credit cards. The house then catches on fire from a faulty wire and thanks to the trash, it burned up the entire house. While Christian and his mother escaped unharmed, they practically lost everything and Christian will spend the rest of his life in paranoia.

* NightmareFuel: The ''Mouse Utopia Experiments'' deal with a scientific experiment involving placing mice in what was supposed to be a utopia, only for it to devolve into a hellhole years later, with the implication that the same thing could happen to humanity as a whole if the problem of overpopulation isn't resolved.

* MisaimedFandom: Some people interpreted ''Noah Antwiler (Spoony)'' as being essentially a critique on Noah's character in the same way ''[=DarkSydePhil=]'' was. As Knudsen made clear however in a subsequent livestream, he in no way thought that, and instead presented Noah more as a tragic victim of his own mental illness.

** ''Noah Antwiler (Spoony)'': Fame is never an excuse to act like a {{jerkass}} and dodge acting responsibly. This is made all the more poignant when [=LordKaT=] calls him out for ruining his chance at getting an interview at GDC due to his behavior at E3 and him being associated with him.

That particular episode hasn't been out long enough to qualify for a Broken Base. Wait at least six months before checking and seeing if the base is actually broken. Remember, Broken Base is for an issue that has split the fanbase for a long time.


* BrokenBase: The [=LordKaT=] fragments in ''Noah Antwiler (Spoony)'' video were met with mixed response in comments. While some appreciated the insight it provided into Spoony's failings, others pointed out that [=LordKaT=] trying to pin all the blame for his gaming journalism career not panning out on Spoony alone is pretty blatant scapegoating. The unprofessionalism and personal insults also didn't help either.

** In the ''[=DarksydePhil=]'' episode, respect other people's opinions. While there are some opinions that just can't be agreed with, most of the time, you got to respect others' opinions. Even if those opinions criticize your work, it's better to at least listen to them and take advice from them as opposed to outright blocking and insulting those people, as doing so could ultimately lead them to expose [[WhatYouAreInTheDark who you really are]].
** In the ''Rajneeshpuram'' episode, be careful with your idealism. Pay attention to who you aspire to. If you follow blindly without questioning the judgement of the people you follow, you might end up vulnerable to being manipulated and exploited by other followers (or even the people that you follow) for their own benefit.
