For those that don't know, me and my friends at Capricorn Arms in the Lake Superior region have a chicken bone or two to pick with a particular YouTube vlogger known as Shadiversity.
Now Shad prides himself on being the voice of logic and reason when it comes to oldskool weaponry and warfare and he's done a lot to separate himself from his old mall ninja routes and cement himself within the ranks of other weapons experts on YouTube, even asking their advice on occassion and forming friendships with them.
There's just one teeny tiny problem with that.
Shad is a fake, charletan, fraudster, whatever words you choose.
Now I'm not saying that all of these weapons experts don't know what they're talking about and that mall ninjas are valid in their choices of weaponry and stuff. I'm just saying that Shad IN PARTICULAR does not belong here.
Now why would i say such a thing? Is it because of his routes? He's come a long way, you know? No, it's because of his methods and these have been consistent since right back in the beginning when he was a still a mall ninja.
Shad himself is no expert. His beliefs on weapons are based on half-assed observations he has from weebing around in his garden for a few minutes rather than any practical tests, and the only time he does know something outside of this bracket is when another expert with more knowledge than him has told him that little piece of information and even then it's not always accurate depending on how that expert came to that conclusion themselves. This is because sometimes the knowledge is from research, experimentation and local reasoning and... sometimes it was an off the cuff remark or an opinion that Shad decided to take as fact.
So, in 12 hours we, bare in mind we are a weapons testing facility, with routes that stretch back all the way into ancient human history, including ancient China AND medieval Europe, two locations where pretty much everything Shad has reviewed come from, so we are obviously going to know what we're talking about, are gonna absolutely lay into each video going backwards in date order to point out as many things wrong with what he said as we care to elaborate on.
Just looking at the titles alone of what we have to work with at a glance here there are some really juicy morsals.
i see a vid on mall ninja weapons which to be fair that one will probably be us mocking the "ninjas" in pretty much the same way but we can always add additional input.
something about magic in warfare which just straight off makes no sense because magic can do literally anything and really doesn't have any rules, but we have experts on chemical and energy weapons here so we can ask for their input i guess.
something slagging off Skyrim which is always fun to dunk on considering the average hater has zero knowledge of the world's lore and tends to forget the restrictions of game development.
a video about longbows, which i know for a fact is going to wind up one of our weapons experts and i don't even know what his stance is on it yet.
a video about a weapon Shad himself invented. that will be fun.
a video on stick weaponry which our resident "Fucker" can absolutely destroy him on.
a video on the "wrist blade from Assassin's Creed", which i think you'll find is called a "retractable katar" and we have personal experience in the field on how effective that one is.
a video on "HEMA", which we have just about as much knowledge as there is to get on that subject, including information that is ONLY available to us, so prepare to have your argument ripped right open.
a video about crowbars or to use the technical term they're known as "ravensbeaks" and they were absolutely an effective weapon long before being repurposed as a household tool so i can't wait to see what stupid thing he says on that.
a video about magnet which i personally CANNOT NOT take as an offense with my extensive knowledge on the subject, yet again including obscure knowledge that not many people know.
a video about how to use a longsword, his favorite weapon. straight to kicking him in the balls on that one.
ripping on the double edged axe i see? we all know who's gonna destroy his argument on that.
a vid on Damascus steel. that's a personal favorite topic of one of ours.
a vid on nunchucks, a classic weeb favorite that has a very specific way of working, which no doubt this idiot couldn't figure out and he probably ends up slapping himself all over the place trying to use it.
the "shield sword"? i think you'll find it's officially called a "bastard sword" even if Wikipedia wrongly classifies that. yeah we have an in house expert on it.
Mjolnir and Stormbreaker or rather neither of those two weapons because the idiot knows nothing and we have an expert on exactly how too.
and that's just the first year of vids on an account that stretches back to 2015.
wet your whistle boys.
it's gonna be roast tonight!
