Doug was making self-deprecating jokes about going bald over 15 years ago. James is in an unfortunate position where he can’t change his look because its so tied to the character that is his job. Like a bald, bearded AVGN would just be weird, but so is middle-aged dad AVGN. The character and his schtick only really worked with the youthful energy of a guy in his early 20s and it’s depressing he’s probably stuck having to do the same shit until he’s a senior citizen
Doug seemed to have embraced the cringe and he seems genuinely more happy now with his crew just doing cringe silly stuff for his critic videos. While he also does some more serious reviews that is just him talking to the camera without the critic stuff.
the nerd has just been in a downfall. im not into the lolcow hate watchers he has but it’s just apparent that he doesn’t give a damn and just wants to do minimal work on his videos as much as possible so i stopped watching.
Yea, 5 years ago he did improve a lot and seemed to have returned back to a more detailed videos (like his earthbound and polybius ones) but then he gave up again because whatever. I still find weird that there are people out there angry that he doesn’t act like he did back when he was 25.
i don’t think they are mad about it, they’re just shitty people that want to have some fun by bullying someone they have a vendetta against for ‘taking what they liked away’. as far as i know james rolfe aside from that bizarre behind the scenes he did doesn’t respond or being much of a lolcow so they’re just boxing shadows. to me his channel trajectory is just sad to think about but i just don’t care enough and whatever works for him is fine by me.

I mean, Doug shaves his head
yeah and he always had the hat. he looks like a guy that caved in and shaved it but doesn’t wanna talk about it.
Listen, do you want a sunburn on your Q-Ball? I don’t. Im a hat guy so I don’t have to be a, carries sunscreen for my dome, guy.
This man balds. Me too.
