LordKaT / YMMV - TV Tropes

Harsher in Hindsight:
- During one episode of LordKaT Live, Felicia angrily calls out Todd in the Shadows, Lindsay Ellis and Diamanda Hagan for demanding some of JewWario's fans to stop supporting the loss of Justin because they supported GamerGate as well, with Felicia proclaiming that they really weren’t his real friends and that they didn’t know anything about him. This was back in 2014, long before Justin’s sexual allegations came to light.
- Anytime she brought up mismanagement and poor leadership with Channel Awesome, Felicia would get called out or even attacked by the fans for being a hater and letting her rage get the better of her. Come 2018 and the "Not So Awesome" document is released, exposing many of the things Felicia has talked about for years.
- However, LK's rants also become harsher in another respect: while she was ultimately revealed to be right about the favoritism, sexism, and poor management and financial decisions of the higher-up at the company, she didn't address any of the sexual harassment allegations, the cover-ups regarding JewWario, or the stalking incident involving Holly.
- Throughout the 2014-2016 episodes of LordKaT Live, Felicia repeatedly kept saying that she wanted to get Brad Jones on an episode since the two got along real well even if the relationship between Felicia and Channel Awesome was toxic. Then in January 2017 she openly announced, after reading a question she got, that Brad will most likely never be on the show, ever. While she never got into the specifics as to why, she had admitted that she had to hide Brad's post many times and that she couldn’t hear him complain anymore, leading to the implication that Brad, in Felicia's eyes, became like the rest of the members of Channel Awesome she didn’t like.
- All the jokes about whether or not Brad left the website yet have become this after he chose to stay on Channel Awesome regardless of the controversy.
- LK's discussion with Nostalgia Critic at the beginning of the Bebe's Kids UWW video is cordial as LK tries to comfort the distraught Critic. After LK left TGWTG, any mention of NC in podcasts is absolutely scathing.
Once Original, Now Common: "Until We Win" was revolutionary in its day for being one of the first video game series to guide people through hard games. Back when she started, the only part of playing hard games was to rage at them while failing at the first level as opposed to actually attempting to beat them, and actual guides (or even footage) on how to beat difficult games was a rarity. However, as the 10s rolled along, more and more people started completing and completely mastering these games and showed their feats on YouTube and streams. By the mid-10s, nerds didn't even consider simply beating these games to even be accomplishments. In more modern games, completing a game 100% is considered more of a challenge...which led to another heavy-set bearded dude whose first name starts with J to create his own show about games. Also, in a world full of people not only beating hard games, but also adding challenges to their games to make them even harder, the concept of her series seems much more typical than it was back in the day.
Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
- Felicia and her friends have this attitude towards people like Bob Chipman (MobieBob) and Greg D'Agostino (Big Fazeek), who oftentimes play victim to win sympathy from their fans after something bad or tragic happens to them, but fail to sympathize with the two when they’ve been known for their stupid, crazy and sometime threatening approaches for their sympathy (Bob for supposedly blaming all of the world's problems on right-wing politics on the regular, and Greg for, according to his own sister, physically harming himself as a way to sue his own family for money and for verbally abusing his family in the process).
- Felicia herself has also become subject to this from some for her outlandish shock-jock personality and abrasive attitude towards those she doesn’t like. A notable example of this was when YouTuber Fredrick Knudsen did a video on Spoony, and used Felicia’s "The Reason You Suck" Speech after she was denied an interview with Minecraft developer Notch as an example of Spoony’s behavior and attitude doing more harm around others. While understandable that Fredrick used Felicia’s reaction only as an example of Spoony’s descent into madness and never explicitly said she was in the right or wrong for doing so, many in the comments were quick to point out how she also did similar things to alienate herself from most of her own fanbase and for her aforementioned rant about wanting Noah to kill himself, making Felicia's rant feel less like a genuine response and more of a personal attack against him.
Vindicated by History: In the beginning LordKaT was well liked by many for her series Until We Win which covered easier ways on how to beat hard retro video games. After she left Channel Awesome, began disowning it every chance she got, dropped the show, only rarely doing episodes occasionally, in favor of a weekly podcast with her and her friends and her infamous rant against Spoony and wanting him to kill himself, she was seen as a pariah by both Channel Awesome fans and casual internet on goers alike. Then the #ChangeTheChannel scandal broke out in early 2018, with many of the claims once being reported by Felicia in the past ^note coming to light, and now she’s been retroactively looked at by some as one of the more underrated and sane people of the site aside from Guru Larry.
