@@L1VE3V1L is that supposed to be a mockery?
â@@NetBattler thats called a tribute
You never go full Frosk.
and where is frosk today?
You never go full crazy
Oh man i almost forgot about that lol
....there's no coming back from full Frosk!
Iron Law of Woke Projection
Endymion said he would identify as a women and fight her. đ€Ł
She never said it had to be a woman.
@@Lenriak This happens all the time to me. Any idea what it means?
If a large trans woman took her challenge that would be funny to see
@@ClokworkGremlin It doesn't matter what she said. If a 'man' fights her he goes to jail.
@@bestintheworld4850 no...
"Come fight me physically"
The internet collectivelly grabs boxing gloves
*Wii punch out theme intensifies*
We dont wear gloves where Im from.
Asking if she's high. She obviously abuses roids among other things. She got roid rage and losing her hairline. Obvious sign of steroid use
Why tf would she take steroids? Oh, yeah...
I think she had too many wine boxes, is what I think. Or she abuses her "medical herb" card.
Some meds defo need dialing down
Actually wokeness is a disease that eats away at your body and mental health. Iâve never seen one of these activists who didnât look and sound crazy within a few years
At least she not peeing on graves and creeping around warehouse lots. That we know of.
Many say not to confuse malice with stupidity, but no one ever said they have to be mutually exclusive.
people always assume its either or when its absolutely both and...
I love how she says that people need to be vocal about stopping mean, nasty behavior in the industry while simultaneously being the one who throws the first punch in every argument sheâs ever been in. How many dozens of people over the last decades have been just minding their own business and living peacefully without an ounce of hostility in their behaviors just to have Mercante write a spurious hit piece about them with zero provocation?
Its hilarious because in a vacuum i agree with what she said, but she fails to apply it to herself. She cant even imagine she is the person she is describing.
You have to be a REAL idiot to be mean while complaining about people being mean. I mean like a real window licking dribbler!
Yeah but we're all bigots see, so it's alright! đ
She can't win a fight with her hairline. Why she trying to fight anyone
Probably because she's never been in an actual street fight. There are no rules. The other side may decide to bring knives, guns or machetes.Maybe she wants to be a martyr? Who knows.
No joke, went in to work yesterday and asked one of my co-workers, "Do you have any advice for fighting a woman who's half my size?"
She's losing her hairline due to steroid use. If anyone wants to take her on in the ring they'll need to either set a rule about juicing and get her checked or just be very wary of the fact that she's on roids.
she's hypocrite, she'll only just hide behind a keyboard and monitor and never actually face anyone she's insulting or challenging. She's nothing more than a common coward.
"Meet me in private ..." why private? It's a bad faith ploy.
yeah it's like when a high school bully challenges you to a fight behind the school or straight up away from it. NEVER accept a fight outside of public places. What you do is you challenge them out in the open with witnesses. They want to fight you in private so later they can claim they pummeled you in the off chance that you beat them senseless.
Or they have 6 guys waiting to jump you
More like they have other people waiting to jump you â@@Misanthropolis
That way nobody sees the gun, obviously.
Mercante is the type of person that you'd have to constantly tell NOT to press the big red button that says "Self-destruct", only for her to try and press it the nanosecond you turn away because everything to her is a game and she can't comprehend that *_EVERYTHING has consequences._*
Especially when it comes to inciting violence. This ain't no boxing ring. Street fights have no rules. The other guy can bring ANYTHING to the fight. Especially if they've got so little left to loose they're going to take up a challenge from an idiot on the internet. Dying because you have a big mouth is truly stupid.
YOU FRICKEN FRICKS WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?!?!. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?!?!.
That's because nothing has had consequences *for her* yet.
She never pressed the "Self-reflect" button.
her kids, if she has any, will complain about not having generational wealth.
Diversity is not their strength, hypocrisy is
Hypocrisy is Marxism 101. It is literally in their doctrine to be hypocrites. That's why elites and corporations are such hypocrites.
Arrogance, or an abundance of confidence, is like with every other narc.
If somebody did fight her, not only would she be crying online, she would call the cops.
The cops she probably was all to happy to see defunded
And if that expected response she's gonna do that. A less moral person will just do something more drastic and lasting to them and make sure she "learn the lesson". Her life expectancy will be low due to that...
Yep. She wants to fight in private so she can make anything up. A cowardsâ way of doing things.
The epitome of your sibling starting a fight then running to mom and dad as soon as you defend yourself to get you in trouble.
If she calls the cops, she becomes the ultimate contradiction. Cuz last I checked, the police force is still dominated by men. Men, the gender that she clearly demonizes to death.
Alyssa Mercunte: come fight me
Gina Carano: Challenge Accepted...
Gina pulls up like Shredder returning in TMNT2. "I challenge."
"I want people in the industry to be a little louder about people being mean to other people."
Says the biggest bully in the industry right now. Who then immediately turns around and tries to silence people who call her out.
Comments range from "who?" to "isn't that Frosk?" Kudos though, she got her 15 minutes. Andy Warhol would be proud.
Except her 15 minutes haven't helped her any
She bares a striking resemblance to Valarie Solanas. Oddly enough, both were prostitutes. I wonder how much Alyssa will charge when she goes back to hooking. Note that I'm only asking because she has explicitly stated that she used to be a prostitute and plans to return to her old profession if her writing career doesn't pan out. I guess the similarities are more than just superficial.
While we're on the topic, I'm starting to wonder if Fink might actually be on our side here. I don't see how one could support such aggressively moronic goons causing so much damage to their own message on accident. Is it possible he's picked people like this on purpose?
7:34 Alyssa doesn't have $1000 to spare. She can't even afford a lawyer to attempt a go at JTSmash.
She couldn't afford a hospital stay after the beat down she's begging people to give her.
@@DeadSpaceWing Her kind are big on the wrack up debt and then screech at the government to make it go away afterwards approach.
i hope she doesnt join any industry after this, i dont ever want these kind of people in any way.
Too bad these nasty people are what the industry wants.đ
Alyssa wanted guys to challenge her so she could play the victim.
Vera Dark challenged her, an actual woman. She tried to squeeze her way out like a weasel.
Besides, all that nonsense about getting threats makes it quite clear what she's trying to do. She wants to be the next Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian. Only, gamers have caught up yo their rage baits in the last decade. So they're looking for more extreme baits.
It's kind of interesting that Alexx, Craig, and Blabs were basically away from the world being normal people. Then they come back on this podcast and discover that the world has gone mad and everything they thought they knew or that they always doubted, but could never prove that it was nonsense, is absolutely nonsense. It's fascinating.
OhNoItsAlexx's complete inability to comprehend just how stupid AM is makes me laugh. Exactly the correct reaction.
Many have trouble understanding narcissists, thats why they can prey on people so easily.
Nobody has to R word Alyssa. Just give her $20 and her professional instincts will kick right in.
Anyone that would has bad taste, in my opinion.
@@xavierhouston4650 No accounting for taste
I don't even think the most desperate incel would pay for that.
â@@chrisbaker8533Don't underestimate the desperation of some people to get a little pay for play.
Fun Fact: In most counties and US states the statement "Come fight me" is an invitation to a fight and therefore does not classify as assault if someone actually fights you.
*Vara Dark wins by concession by the other party.*
Online TKO đ
Alexâs reaction is priceless
Mercante is a habitual linestepper how she hasn't gotten G/O media into a Deadspin lawsuit situation is beyond me.
Only a matter of time.
*Alyssa challenges people to fight and goes private*
*Hears Luke Skywalker off in the distance*
"Your overconfidence is your weakness"
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Sidescrollers and OhNoItsAlexx is not the collaboration I was expecting.
But it was one I absolutely needed. Alexx brings such chaotic energy. I love it.
Alissa is the Jonny Somali of the Gaming Industry
Every time they ask for kindness, they're always being toxic and vitriolic about it. Pot, meet kettle...
I think the word she was looking for was divided instead of diverse
Back around the time Gamergate 1 kicked off, David Jaffe was accused of being a the word that means distrust or hatred of wahmen by Kotaku. In a conversation that was recorded by Ben Kuchera, Jaffe went off on him for it. I wonder if he remembers that...
5:27 "Jeff Grub" 1:50 The guy far left. What's funny he even resembles Jirard The Completionist too. Yup definitely the new G4. That whole scene there is a mirror image from the Frosk rant with just a few more people. Grub is sitting where Jirard The Completionist sat and Mercante is sitting where Frosk sat in seating arrangement. There's no way this is not deliberate especially the seating arrangement.
Jirard The Completionist? Don't know him, but I do know a Jirard "Charity Fraud" Con-pletionist.
Gina Carano missing an opportunity rn đ
a trash editor of a inconsequential web site is way below Gina's level....
Gina wouldn't soil her hands. Because she'd mop the floor with this fool.
@@judgedrekk2981 several googol lightyears below Gina's level.
@@judgedrekk2981 "Train for a few more years, come back when you're worthy."
She's Cartman from the South Park episode where Wendy was supposed to fight him, and then proceeds to act busy or hide behind other people to look like the victim
Me a dog Walker in Chelsea :"he's not wrong"
What if i IDENTIFY as a woman?
Serious Frosk vibes off this .... thing
1:35 They are the new new G4 with Frosk 2.0. And btw Mercante blew off Vara Dark's challenge accpeted. Every excuse in the book.
They mentioned that, too. The point is that Mercunty is ultimately a cowardly braggart who is constantly trying to poke the bull and get it to do something, only to whine and cry because, surprise surprise, THE BULL AIN'T GONNA STAND FOR THAT.
Honestly the the call for a physical fight is so dumb, as if the winner is right in the whole argument like "SEE, i've won, therefor i'm right", makes no sense.
Internet is a dangerous a place, you put out a challenge people will take up to that, and sooner or later they will have that person address in real life.
Get Blair White to fight herâŠthat would be amazing!
She did the "no, in real life!" but won't back it up.
She making Alyssa Milano look sane.
and to think so many of us who grew up in the 80's loved her? lolz
at least we still have the true Galadriel from LOTR Cate Blanchet....and is Betty White still around?
@@judgedrekk2981 Betty White is up there in the clouds with the other Golden Girls
@@XarronChaos ahh too bad she was still cool!
@@judgedrekk2981 Yeah and saddest thing is she passed before she crossed the line to the 100 club đ
"Pop the trunk, seriously do it, do it... do it" đ€Ł
The Fonz: hey....[hits trunk and it opens]
The way all those dudes cheer and clap in the background reminds me of that Frosk situation with G4TV where Adam Sessler was clapping like a demented seal.
It reminds me partially of Onision. Dude kept trying to challenge Shane Dawson to a boxing match but never got it. Another guy, FPSDiesel, wanted to fight him and he goes âLetâs settle this like adults. We just need to talkâ Obviously, Mercante is on a whole nother level, but it reminds me of that
I mean, she is the female equivalent to Onision so it does check out đ€Ł
Ok I can ses Alyssa's smugness and she's an evil person.
Frosk 2.0, I give her 2 weeks max, lol
"Does she post where she lives?"
Dude.
The internet managed to pinpoint a flag, in the middle of nowhere, with only the sky in the background, basing their search on star charts, flight radars, weather patterns, croaking of the frogs and one guy, driving around in a pickup truck.
I don't think she _needs_ to post her address.
She's a sociopath, maybe even of the malignant type, that's why she doesn't understand how normal people work... so, like most sociopaths trying to get brownie points, she overreacts.
Fun fact 2 states allow mutual combat, they are Texas and Washington. If she is in one of those states and articles pop up you know what happened.
This woman: Fight me, internet!
The Internet: Let's f**king GO!!!!!!!!!
Alyssa Mercante has a striking resemblance to Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.
Alyssa: "meet me in the playground after school" đ
So... is Vara single? After reading her words I think I have a ring with her name on it.
she's definitely a keeper
She's asking to fight people so she can play the victim. Just like she did when she said she didn't care if you contacted her family. It's an old playbook, but they think it still works.
Anyone says this this game journalist must be on drugs might be right.
Answering your thumbnail: YES
These are the same losers that are all talk but no bite. It happened with Frosk with G4, and now it has happened again with Alyssa. They think theyâre âtoughâ in their heads, like full-on narcissist âmain character syndromeâ levels of entitlement. But when SMOKE come for them-from various youtubers taking up their lame challenge? They start ducking for cover and blocking them over X. Absolute pathetic cowards.
Mercante has really burned herself on this. Its only a matter of time before someone either makes it to where she has no choice but to accept the fight, or this stunt forces Kotaku to shut down permanently.
Mercunty is the embodiment of smug toxicity.
Looks can be deceiving
Has anyone sat down and talked with this person?
She canât be Real.
I think itâs all AI bait.
Alyssa Mercante needs to learn FAFO. But no one ever hold women accountable. That's why we have the society problems we have now.
14:50 To be frank, it would only take one serious guy to take the bait once, a sacrifice for the whole of humanity.
Her behavior reminds me of a saying: " The loudest person in the room is usually the weakest."
Let's a play a game called "Where in the World Is Alyssa Mercante Now?" She's probably still stalking Smash JT.
Alyssa is the living proof of what denying a hug to a kid can cause.
Funny how they love to use curse words when they run out of any intelligence to say.
Vara Dark "Ill be your Huckleberry"
She's all talk but no bite.
Or brain.
@@HenshinFanatic nah she indeed have a brain, just not a fresh one.
I've heard her say this on so many yt vids...yet every time I quote her my comment gets removed! The videos aren't age restricted...this platform is just a joke
Sheâs the kind of person who has never faced real life consequences
Complains about people being mean and then insults and threatens physical violence.
"Because the world is diverse" she says sitting in a room full of white people. I'm surprised I didnt see that before.
Excuse me I looked away and returned to the video at 1:46 ... What is that Set! It looks like my old folks home from Yugoslavia circa 1970tis!
The arrogance of that strange little coward is stunning.
I bet she was the type of kid that would swat you in the back of the head when you weren't looking, beeline it behind a teacher for protection, then looked like a cartoon spy with the way she'd sneak from class to class in order to avoid justice.
All BS aside... what a despicable person.
I've never been so repulsed by someone I've never met that isn't a politician.
"She pulled a Tonka"
OK that cracked me up.
She does that same thing that the anitifa chicks do. She knows how to put on the act of getting people to hate her to bait them into doing something irrational. This clip is the first time I have ever seen her and I already can't stand her.
If you pay attention, All the people in the room cheering her on are not looking at her with adoration, they look like workplace predators realizing that a job opportunity is about to open up.
When it comes to people like this "woman," my personal mode of operation is to borrow a page from Mass Effect's Krogan Warlord Okeer and his approach to the genophage. Give them the worst insult a foe can be given: to be ignored.
Who gives a throbbing stroke? She's a games journalist. No-one is listening to Scrappy-Doo Mercante threatening to punch imaginary monsters in the shins like "Lemme at 'em! Lemme at 'em!" Except maybe for laughs. đ
Giantbomb did really drop off after the original creators left or were fired. The Drew shocked face meme was born from Giantbomb and is sadly applicable to the state of Giantbomb now.
I much rather see Blabs vs Mercante
She wants a private fight so that if she gets beat she can still lie and say she won. I've dealt with a lot of self righteous cry bullies, and that is always at least one of the reasons.
I'm crying!!!! Best reaction ever!!!
Man Alyssa mercante is like trying to mix Rocky 5 and Rocky 3. She wants to have that private Apollo and Rocky fight so no one really knows who wins I just think it's hilarious but that's par for the course. So many people in this generation and era want to be keyboard tough and forgot what it was like to really tough
2:30 I thought of Tyler Durden, but after searching found out that he had Red glasses on instead of Amber.
"She pulled a Tonka"
Ouch, thats got to suck when your usename becomes a verb.
People just keep on talking about her giving her all the attention she craves so badly, but it's like a train wreck and you can't help but to watch.
Actually she can be charged with inciting violence & banned on social media
She's gone mentally unstable now.
âRing the bellââŠâŠ.đ„âDing Dingâ
The journalist cries out as she libels you
I responded to her request for a physical fight and have yet to hear back.....I'm only 150 pounds so it's not like I'm a beast. I'd love to throw hands with any bully. Don't know why your allowed to threaten to fight everyone while complaining about people being mean. If I could I'd insert the meme of a person face palming.
I donât think they consider themselves journalists. They are like old-school newspaper New York Post writing journalist from the 1940s! I donât think these online journalist consider themselves again journalist. It doesnât matter if itâs gaming or other entertainment. Thatâs why they get so bent out of shape when people criticize them.
Orange glasses, unearned confidence, annoying way of talking? Why, its Steven Seagal in the flesh!
The supposed âqualificationsâ to be a journalist only makes them more insidious. Sheâs welcome to the appellation, itâs nothing noble, itâs a slur now. And well deserved.
The only person with journalism credentials to ever work at Kotaku is Jason. The rest are a bunch of hacks pretending to be journalists.
AM also got a QRT from another woman (can't remember who, just popped up on my "for you" feed) who's a three time judo champ. Effin' crickets from AM.
Edit: I posted this before Mara Jade was mentioned.
Translated. When Iâm mean, please donât be mean to me.
