The thing is, the Nostalgia Critic isn't Doug Walker, the AVGN isn't James Rolfe. They were playing characters, but their audiences were so young that they misconstrued their work as being 100% serious.
So you had all of the various AVGN clones (like Gamedude) and Nostalgia Critic clones (like FilmBrain and RowdyC) actually spazzing out on camera over fictional media.
Scott the Woz, a zoomer, was one of the only people to catch on that the AVGN was a character and now enjoys being his gen Z successor.

>Jello sort of gave everyone this need to feel like they were smarter than "the average fan" even when simply, passingly enjoying a series. You've gotta also hate it and "know its faults."
JelloApocalypse was the fucking worst of the 2015 Tumblr "pop culture critic" era of content creators.
Faggots who think they're "better" than the AVNG or Nostalgia Critic because they add a layer of politics and pretentious social commentary on top of their vulgar expletive ridden rants about how misogynistic One Piece is.
