Yeah I was thinking the same thing they don't have much in common.
Hero Hei's content is mostly twitter drama, he is more similar to Quartering then he is to Gigguk.

Yeah. Gigguk is a nice incarnation of anime normy, I don't really understand what he has to do with the person who makes mocking videos about SJW in anime fandom.

No, but he's been doing way too much Genshin content lately. A better option is Rev Says Desu at least until his Genshin phase ends.

If he is a copy of shitty youtubers like Gigguk and the AnimeMan with as retarded taste as theirs then he must be a genuine shitty youtuber.

ironically for some one whos "anti social justice warrior." he does a whole lot of social justice warrioring.

he's also raising funds for charity, so he can't be a "bad" person.

Hero Hei is awful. I don't know why but I genuinely hate the guy. His job consists of finding the smallest 'twitter controversies' with about 1 like and blowing it up into this anti-anime agenda and '''roasting''' them. As someone who personally doesn't use twitter, he is insufferable. He comes up on my YT reccommended from time to time and every time he does I just cringe. I would consider him a fraud as from the videos i've seen he's not that knowledgable about the subjects he's speaking about. He is anti-SJW but is somehow a huge SJW himself.

quite honestly, i don't see why people would feel so strongly against his content unless they feel personally attacked by his videos, in which case L-O-L.

In what fucking world is he copying Gigguk and TheAnimeMan? The content he makes isn't even remotely similar to those two, sounds like you just have some weird stupid axe to grind with him and are looking for an excuse to attack him (also wtf do you mean no friends how would you know it sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities onto him lol).

That being said, I absolutely despise fake outrage content whether it's coming from SJWs or Anti-SJWs (he makes content for the later). If I recall correctly I believe Hero Hei got the ball rolling by covering the Vic Mignonga situation but of course that had to end eventually so he just based his whole identity on "fighting SJWs who are trying to ruin entertainment for the rest of us". The shtick gets old really fast though I can't stand that kind of content. I remember I had to unsub from TheQuartering because he did the same exact shit but for videogames instead of anime and his initial cash cow was bitching about Brie Larson from Captain Marvel. Gotta make that money I guess, can't blame them, but content like that is just lazy and devoid of any value nor is it even the slightest bit entertaining.

He gets tweets with 1 like and 1 retweet and whines about it, then his fans call that "News". He's more like Keemstar than gigguk/animeman.

I agree. I used to watch him from time to time because for some time he seemed to me like a Twitter anti-hero or something. Someone who rises up against the retarded crap of Twitter. Over time it quickly deteriorated into the boring, lazy schlock described in this thread. It's all stupid Twitter drama that he blows out of proportion for views.
Not to mention some of his fans, which will call you SJW if you say something negative about Hero Hei.

Imagine he finds this thread and features it in one of his videos lmao

Never did I say he's a bad person. Infact, I stated in my first post that I have no idea who he is. Just because one donates to charities, that doesn't make them a good person. Simply means he has enough money to do so.


and where did i say he was a good person? i only said that he can't be a bad person.
maybe he is a "good" person. i just don't know him well enough to make this assertion.

I occasionally watches his videos when they pop up, mostly because I'm stupid and fall for clickbait. I find him fairly inoffensive, his videos are short and he doesn't shout and scream like a retard like most other anitubers I've watched.

Honestly I just think the guy's kinda annoying. I wish he's only harmlessly annoying, but it does seem that sometimes he inadvertently affects unwanted people (again not sure, but I think vtubers hated him, and if that's so then I guess for good reasons).

But I just don't know enough about him to make a good judgment. His content is basic clickbait low-quality stuffs. I've watched at least 5 vids from him and 3 are him taking a random tweet with 2 likes 0 retweet and just shit on it. Yes he's the hero of the anti-SJW-faggotry. Very heroic. Then again, he's making bucks out of it so whatever.

Hero Hei is a fourth rate "anituber" who profits from disinformation, creating unecessary drama, while spreading his anti-woke rhetoric.

A thing I'm familiar with about him is about the Fata Morgana thing. The entire VN community don't like him, and understand that even without the infamous "fragile male ego" TL, Fata Morgana VN is already very feminist in its original language, which is why people of r/visualnovels and r/vns all called him out for spewing bullshit as if he's speaking on the behalf of VN community.

The irony is that his crowd who attacked the Mangagamer translator for the "fragile male ego" TL of the extra scene are just exactly acts like how the "SJWs" act in their portrayal (not actually a part of the VN community or even someone who will buy the VNs even if it's translated in literal 1:1, and just jump in the thing in the attempt to make something suits their political agenda).

Facts don't care about your fragile male ego, Hero Hei.

Also, he keeps on playing genshin impact whilst trashing China lmao and thinks that he is a savior for the Japanese people. Some big YouTuber needs to call him out for his bull soon.

In what way is he copying Gigguk and The Anime Man? Aside from liking anime, I don't see the resemblance.
From what I know, he just shows some tweets that have been written by toxic people and then laugh about those tweets.
I think that's it? Maybe he has videos about other things as well. I don't know enough about him or his channel to have an opinion about him.
