1. Yeah. That face at 3:37 Gave. Me. Chills.

2. MMmmMMMm............Nah. Markiplier boils it dow to basics that we're all forgetting as humans and represents it using his own words (with only one swear in the whole thing). My opinion, since I've watched, like, 5 of these, is that they should be ranked like this(from best to worse):

(Don't judge me about spending like an hour doing this, it's partially for myself. I'm bored.)

1) Markiplier's Video: RESPECT

Reasons: Good use of language (especially for a 27-year old guy known for constantly making dick jokes and screaming), I agree with the basic standpoint entirely, he (temporarily) acknowledges the fact that he needs to be more specific, and makes a point that can't get any more true about how people in the future are VERY LIKELY to call us absolute idiots in terms of general societal expectations and values as a whole.

Rating: 9.4/10

Reason For Rating: It can't be a 10 (or more) due to a) not really talking about Felix's exact situation and b) not giving enough facts, but besides that it's perfect in my eyes.

2) PewDiePie's Video: My Response

Reasons: I just had to put this one near the top, because most of PewDiePie's audience (the 'Bro Army') and A LOT of YouTubers can't deny that the "Try again motherfuckers" moment was pretty sweet. It was also good in how he didn't really use any sarcasm, didn't start off the video weirdly (like some other YouTubers), and remained pretty clear and concise until the last minute or so.

Rating: 8/10

Reason for Rating: Solid 8/10, nothing more. Someone who didn't see the video would say he seems "halfhearted" or "cold" throughout the whole thing, but when he started crying I think that got to some people. Hopefully people aren't mean and de-humanizing (to quote Mark) to him anymore.

3) Kraut and Tea: First they came for PewDiePie next they come for YOU!

Reasons: Another good video that explained how people are overreacting and it's really a societal issue. It was pretty funny to me, and I thought that hs points were explained out well. He also had a good beginning

Rating: 7.7/10

Reason for Rating: Some fthe pictures and graphics are distracting, he does overreact about a "clean YouTube" a little, and his constant, blunt cursing in some parts makes it hard to follow the rest of his point. Otherwise it's great.

4) h3h3Productions's Video: Is PewDiePie a Racist?

Reasons: It's alright, but the video doesn't get off to the best start because of his sarcasm and generally not being too concise (like Mark). His facts are correct, but some of his points are irrelevant and have nothing to do with the topic.

Rating: 7.4/10

Reason for Rating: As said before, some of his points are irrelevant and he references things that he doesn't need to say. His facts are correct and he properly explains his point, however, so it's just below a 7.5.

5) Pyrocynical's Video: Response to PewDiePie

Reasons: It's pretty humorous, and unlike the more speec-style videos, he is using the same style of commentary as he does on pretty much anything else. He doesn't sound ignorant, and he is good at putting many points together without being too confusing.

Rating: 7.3

Reason for Rating: IMO, it's prettty damn close in quality to h3h3 productions. It's just the fact that he starts the video messily that makes him lose a point.

6) Sargon of Akkad's Video: #PewDiePieDidNothingWrong

Reasons: It is unwise that he used a hashtag (#) for his title, and, as Ursuul so eloquently put, he needs to "Stop sucking PewDiePie's dick every five seconds". If you're delivering a speech you're allowed to talk for a while, but onYouTube people are usually not going to watch a video for more than 20 minutes unless it's something whymsical and exciting, like a Challenge, Compilation, or Gameplay. Based on the 10 minutes that I watched, I would say his facts are pretty in line.

Rating: 6.8/10

Reason for Rating: Simple: It's too long, his thoughts seem to wander, and he focuses too much on complimenting PewDiePie.

7) OGChan's Video: Hate Speech vs. Entertainment

Reasons: The title makes you think that this is going to be concise and organized, but knowing G's style, I had my hopes a little too high. The video has good points, the style just seems a little too lazy and he doesn't use enough facts to back up points.

Rating: 6.5/10

Reasons for Rating: Solid 6.5/10. He could've said his points with more conviction, and his odd jokes at some parts are distracting. The "Reach for your dreams" theme is relatively convincing though.
