* OvershadowedByControversy: Outside of the ''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'' and Creator/{{Nintendo}} fanbases, most people have heard of him only because of his purchasing of over a hundred Rosalina Toys/{{Amiibo}} in 2015 because he hates her "{{Hentai}}" character design (his words) and to spite the character's fans who wanted one amiibo of her. This incident was reported by video game journalists and immortalized him as an unhinged, petty {{Manchild}}. Not that he ever had an even remotely decent reputation in the first place.

Of course, if by "proclaim", you mean "[[JumpScare screech like a banshee as loudly as possible]]", you wouldn't be far off.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: His viewpoints are odd at best (e.g. thinking that ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'''s spin attack is a ripoff of Sonic's spin attack), and utterly incomprehensible at worst (e.g. insisting that Modern Sonic, Rosalina and various other characters are "Hentai"). He can be summarized as an embodiment of WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd while heavily drunk or high on drugs, with all the Nerd's anger traits exaggerated to ridiculous levels with none of the traits that make him entertaining, unless you enjoy the {{camp}} value of a screaming lunatic obsessed with character design.

** Some of his video game "reviews", most notably the one of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwxXR91yiIo&ab_channel=mariotehplumber Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', depict him destroying the game in question [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd à la the Nerd]]. Unlike the Nerd, however, the way he goes about it is more unsettling than it is funny, with him repeatedly smashing the disc with a hammer, throwing the case around, and even go as far as to ''rip what's presumably the instruction manual apart in a fit of rage''. Needless to say, this was something that did not go unnoticed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_6-PUa54jk&ab_channel=ThatWeasel many a commentator at the time:]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hbV2HNDaNo&ab_channel=mariotehplumber "Sonic Generations level Impressions"]] has him react to the (ultimately false) rumor of a stage in which the player takes control of a Werehog-ified Classic Sonic by ''threatening to singlehandedly bomb Sega's offices''.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: His internet persona seems to have a serious case of intermittent explosive disorder[[note]]colloquially known as "anger issues"[[/note]], reacting with disproportionate rage to things most people wouldn't even notice, much less care about. His persona is also highly [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]]; he acts ridiculously over-the-top in his "reviews" [[{{Troll}} to get attention]], and thinks his own opinions are superior to everybody else's while simultaneously feeling insecure, to the point where he is enraged by disagreement, let alone criticism.
