    MatPat's deleted comment-response from his channel. No idea why he decided to pull out, it would have been a delicious slaughter. :(
    "Dear Comments,
    Let me hop down here and clear up something: Saying that we didn't do research is COMPLETELY WRONG. Both Austin (from THE SCIENCE) and I did plenty of research into the "average" weaponry for each of these three types of warriors around the year 1000. I'm sorry if your favorite didn't win or if you have some obscure text that shows something contrary to what we found, but seriously, we did PLENTY of research into this subject and stand by our results and our sources. I openly welcome and look forward to watching your videos outlining your research and sources debunking our work -- I'm not above admitting if we were wrong. But let me remind everyone: it's easy to cast stones...it's another thing to fo the work yourself and put it up for public scrutiny.
    This is actually a big reason why I try to avoid history episodes -- not because I don't enjoy them, but because history as a study is so imprecise and people get VERY attached to certain time periods.
    MatPat"

    • @TheSwordsPathChannel
      @TheSwordsPathChannel  Před 7 lety +263

      Dear Mat, in addition to what I said earlier, I must also inform you that watching Naruto does not count as historical research.

    • @nachoolo
      @nachoolo Před 7 lety +105

      "history as a study is so imprecise"
      Mate, historiography isn't inprecise enought to don't know basic shit.
      And is only inprecise if you don't put the time to research.
      People like him who poison the well to people without knowledge is why historians have it hard to destroy myths.

    • @Mongward
      @Mongward Před 7 lety +29

      In all honesty, I can believe that Austin did some research. But I don't believe Matpat did his, or didn't manipulate his findings.

      Man this keeps getting more and more hilarious - there you were , saying rightfully , it'd be appropriate to correct the mistakes in another video - and here he is feeling attacked and couldn't even admit mistakes nor take a light roast . he doesn't seem to have the slightest sense of selfirony (quite literally) . I'm in no way literated enough to point out most facts but even me and a massive number of other casual-viewer noticed from what they've heard before , that a tone of contend was completely misleading and people like Skall showed amazingly that barely anything was factchecked. wow ... I was mindblown. These americans and their alternative facts huh ? ;)

    It is said that heresy is like a tree, it's roots lie in the darkness, while it's leaves wave in the sun. You can prune away it's branches, even cut the tree to the ground but it will grow again ever stronger. Such is the nature of heresy and why it is so difficult to destroy. Some may question my right to destroy a channel of 7.8 million souls but those who truly understand realise that I have no right to let them live!
    No sacrifice is too great, no treachery too small.

    • @lonelysoul954
      @lonelysoul954 Před 7 lety +4

      That little kiddo has an audience bigger than all of the largest history-related vlogers combined. Which is just sad.

    • @Mtonazzi
      @Mtonazzi Před 7 lety +9

      Lonely Soul
      Not sad, but dangerous. I firmly believe that when one has an audience, be it 1 person alone, one has a certain responsibility on what you pass as fact and what as fiction.
      And the bigger the audience, the greater the responsibility.

    • @lonelysoul954
      @lonelysoul954 Před 7 lety +1

      Matías Tonazzi as long as there were ways to spread information to a large group of people, the opposite was true. His video is clearly made to namedrop For Honor and spin it as something kinda legitimate. Probably for a small cut of Ubisoft's marketing budget.
      I can respect well-crafted mass deception for personal gain.

    • @Mtonazzi
      @Mtonazzi Před 7 lety +1

      Lonely Soul
      That's why I state that's what I firmly believe, and it ain't an universial truth.
      Still, seems it's a fact he got money from Ubisoft. My main gripe was that he said "historical analysis" and presented those fiction minutia as facts.
      Had he said simply "analysis", where most would probably assume he talks in-game (I for one, would have done so) wouldn't have batted an eye at it.

    • @lonelysoul954
      @lonelysoul954 Před 7 lety +1

      Matías Tonazzi his conclusions and logic had pretty much nothing to do with the game either. I mean, there's no mounted combat in it, nobody uses 11th century arms and armor. The game is supposed to be balanced, so no "race" can possibly be that much superior, other than through player's own skill. I bet the samurai were chosen as winners just because they are statistically more popular among his watchers.

    @kadartcostumes9842 Před 7 lety +29

    Always fun to see Matpats poorly researched "theories" beeing "debunked". I think especially the regarding video bothered a lot of people based on the fact that it's not just based on the usual fantasy hokus pokus that he regulary covers - which is fun and usually has it's right to exist none the less, at least for a comedic fact. Seeing a respond from YOU made me crack up, you really dealed with it very fair as well :D keep Rocking 'Path :)

    • @TheSwordsPathChannel
      @TheSwordsPathChannel  Před 7 lety +38

      If he labelled the video as, say, "fantasy knight vs samurai combat" or "For Honor pvp insights", I wouldn't have a single issue with it. But
      eh, calling it "historical analysis"...

    • @kadartcostumes9842
      @kadartcostumes9842 Před 7 lety +4

      Yes exactly , but to be fair, even if i'd be marked it as "fantasy" it'd be barely comprehensible. He has his way with putting all he says as a fact while constantly misinforming his viewers, which probably bothers me the most. In the end he is another entertainment channel (an annoying one tbh)- not a Science- one -

    Niestety tak to działa, obecnie mamy jednak całkiem niezłą wiedzę jak wyglądała przeszłość, człowiek spędza setki godzin siedząc w jakby nie patrzeć teraz już nieźle dostępnych źródłach, robi testy, stara się edukować innych(w sumie w szkołach nauczyciele często też nie są lepsi). Po czym dostaje w twarz takim filmem po którym kolejne tysiące osób znowu będą powtarzać to dziadostwo.....

    Hey, Alan, what about POV fighting streaming? It could be interesting for you and for us.

    Code of bullshido is strong with both Mat and Alan. There wasn't just one code whatsoever, each lord had their own ideas. The common one was fealty and requirement for service when called.
    It's like that fake news phenomenon where you only spot mistakes, misinformation and shallow takes where you understand the subject and take them as true where you don't.
    MatPat is an entertainer, so he does the same darn thing every news outlet nowadays makes. But at least these do print letter to editor while that response... I've nothing to say.

      >the code of chivalry, *for example as portrayed in the Song of Roland*

    • @AstralS7orm

      Which is a nice *epic* poem. Those are supposed to exaggerate heroism and include supernatural. It's like basing opinions about actual samurai on modern manga depictions.
      You had me reread the whole thing again. :)
      Many things are depicted reasonably correctly, for example the quarrels and finally obedience of the knight to the lord. Feudal society up to the top, and then to God. That a knight should be good in a fight. (Duh, he's supposed to be a professional soldier.) Shows a judicial duel too. Conversions made at the sword point.
      Also shown is foolhardiness of some (Roland = big vain), treachery of others (Ganelon). How to kiss up to the ruler (how Charlemagne is depicted). Some valor. Much massacre and brutality. Faith of then contemporary Christian knights and misperception of Muslims.

      Yes. I like the weasel words too. :)
      It's not a code, it's culture, it has changed over time and varied in different places. There is no actual code as in codex.
      Acting decently is pretty obvious, like is acting well in formal situations. Some knights weren't good at these things. And thus not invited - but they still were used in warfare. Likewise a typical rule was to not engage the parlay or diplomats but it has been broken here and there.
      Compare a XIV Swedish knight with a XIV German knight, a XIV French knight and a XIV Teutonic knight. Very different motivations and approaches.
      Now in Japan we can maybe find one shared code because it was very uniform culturally at some times. Not so in Europe.

      While I agree with your views on the diversity of knightly cultures, I think you're still missing the point. ;)

    There is a difference between misinformation and lies good sir, one is merely being wrong and the other is willfully misinforming when the speaker knows otherwise. MatPat's video was not well researched, but I do not feel he intentionally lied.

    • @TheSwordsPathChannel
      @TheSwordsPathChannel  Před 7 lety +3

      Oh, that's just what I implied. The first video was clearly misinformed and born of ignorance. But the second one? He was fully aware of how bad his research was, and did little to improve it, thus intentionally commiting an act of misinformation. :)

    • @jamessmall7850
      @jamessmall7850 Před 7 lety +1

      Or possibly born tight deadlines, many of the mistakes he made are common misconceptions, some of which other expert youtubers were operating under for some time ( For example, gambesons for which Shadiversity admits he had been wrong about for a long time). If you have evidence of him purposefully telling lies then that would be excellent, otherwise it would be wise to remember it is hard to tell what is going on in another man's life or mind.
      BTW, you may want to watch Shadiversity's video on the knightly code of conduct. It is not as unified or moral as you make it out to be. Have a good afternoon.

    • @TheSwordsPathChannel

      A claim of doing "historical analysis" denies one the right to repeat common misconceptions. There is no way it can be justified while operating under that term.
      Oh, and I was merely quoting the "Song of Roland". Knightly morals were as diverse as cultures they originated from. :)

      A claim of doing "historical analysis" denies one the right to repeat common misconceptions. There is no way it can be justified while operating under that term. In case of dubious or imperfect knowledge, one has the duty to either mention the controversies or correct the mistake afterwards.

      Agreed, it does not excuse repeating misconceptions. But it will occur (just ask Shad), and the fact they occur does not automatically make them lies just merely incorrect. I agree that ideally MatPat will apologize for the misinformation and give a shout out the Shadiversity, Skallagrim, and Metatron, but that is all I will be looking for.
      Yes they were, some preached forbearance and self-control in the face of the enemy. Others preached generosity and understanding. I am curious if The Song of Roland mentions those virtues in the code it describes.
