Long Beach, Calif. — Local YouTube personality “Snarky Bry” drew fire for expressing extremely dated political views while simultaneously playing retro video games, sources confirmed today.
Bryan Comer, aka “Snarky Bry” of the Youtube channel, “Retro Buys With Snarky Bry” is in hot water after making sexist, xenophobic, and anti-LGBTQIA remarks during a livestream “Let’s Play” of Super Mario 64.
“I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking, sorry if that scares namby-pamby yellowbellies,” Comer said, adjusting his suspenders over his Grunt Style shirt of Link holding an M16. “Sorry, if it’s controversial to think that gaming peaked with the Dreamcast or if I start my videos with the Pledge of Allegiance. I don’t even know what I said to stir things up, was it when I said ‘sodomy used to be illegal,’ or ‘if a woman leaves the house, she should expect to be harassed’ or ‘first person shooters went downhill after Quake II?’”
“When I watch a retro game channel, I assume there’s going to be problematic talk, it’s just the nature of the beast,” said former subscriber, Brennan Woods, aka YidIcarus13. “I love all kinds of games, with a special place in my heart for retro games, but they are so expensive. Bry was good about finding worthwhile games and hidden gems. I just don’t need game recs from someone who sounds like my uncles after a couple of scotch and sodas. But his characters Honky Kong and Lisping Link were pretty funny.”
Studies have shown that although most people have their favorite era of gaming, overcommitting to one generation coincides with backward thinking.
“For years gamers were infantilized, stereotyped as immature males, but we’ve discovered that gamers cross all social, economic, demographic, racial brackets,” said Dr. Nina Torres, Professor of Abnormal Psychology at Wesleyan University and author of “Mario Bros: Retro Games/Modern Harassment.” “However, the exception is those that self-identify as ‘Retro Gamers’ are in fact, backward-thinking, emotionally stunted men.”
Comer was unable for further comment, after being positively identified in January 6th insurrection security footage wearing his own merch.
