Internet Reviewing
Internet Reviewing is the new early 21st Century Western World way of panhandling through using one's internet connection, exploiting sensationalist reactions from fan bases, and saying things off of the top of one's head without even meaning it, all to earn that sweet dribbling dripping slop drop of ad revenue at the end of the day like a modern day Tantalus rat in modern day society's rat race.
For a more "sophisticated" and "concise" definition, it's essentially the act of putting up internet based multimedia and mediums meant to "entertain" while "providing critique" on already existing entertainment. Or in short, to leech off of others successful, let alone released works of entertainment, and to make money off of it rather than enlightening why something is good and/or bad as entertainment with a measure of skillful criterion.
For the final definition put in the words of ED, it's essentially a bunch of lazy genitalless fuckoffs who are too busy chucklefucking their way through life as a bunch of unfunny, snarky, unwarranted arrogant and sex deprived nerds who think that if they can weasel around copyright laws with the shield of Fair Use, shitty humor, unsympathetic behavior as a human being, and beguiling deceit like a pro bullshitter Hollywood lawyer, they can make shitty videos that rip off Rifftrax and MST3K like the conartists they are. Hey, don't blame us, blame Doug Walker and Noah Antwiler.
Knowing the Details of Internet Reviewers
Internet Reviewing will often stem from:
- Nobodies who gave up on a career in entertainment like a whiny bitch and pussed out because of the grind, becoming bitter cucks
- Arrogant spectators who "definitely know what is good and bad" and think that what they will say will be that important
- Diehardcore fans of MST3K who will "monkey see, monkey do"
- All of them motivated by sweet, sweet $$$ and think that this will get them to rise big like Hollywood celebs
As said before, Internet Reviewing is only meant for those who live in places like Europe or the United States, where people can buy equipment to record video and upload onto the internets. If not, they will usually turn to places like LiveJournal, or will host their own website if they can't afford it/are too ugly as a human being to be seen on camera. This being said, do not be surprised if many an internet reviewer says something untrue, rife in ignorance, shows absolutely no knowledge of what is going on, and/or is rooted in myopia. This is due to how 99.9% of them are white/whitewashed pampered suburbia churned fatheads who know absolutely nothing about going outside of their societal bubble and will be all too happy to draw upon stereotypes and personal bias. Yes, Internet Reviewing has to also be one of the most whitest things you could do. This also includes resorting to racially and culturally offensive humor just to garner laughs from their mostly white audience. Do not be fooled by SJW and/or "equality" preaching Internet Reviewers either; they'll be happy to display the former with "impunity because I'm open minded" and/or displaying the "white man's superiority on all of entertainment media" through "educating" people on how fatheaded they are by displaying it live on camera.
Culturally and socially, Internet Reviewing is an pretty serious sign of issues in the world. Alongside promoting socially inept and uncomfortable displays of behavior, like screaming incesseantly and promoting IRL displays of mimicking an internet critic's "nerd humor" in unfunny and really backass antisocial ways, it's also a sign of how first world society has fucked itself over by breeding imaginationless, unproductive, unfeeling, spineless, craven, and yet arrogant, bitter, spiteful, and malicious dumbfucks whose only method of creativity is to make fun of other people's works pushed out in the modern day, but praise and jerk off to anything that is a "classic", much not unlike pretentious poser art gallery exhibition faggots that influence current day thoughts on societal artistic discourse and direction. We already have plenty of other people who do that, and they're usually employed by the local newspaper (and even then they get no recognition, thank fucking goodness).

What Internet Reviewers will attempt to review
Movies
Much in the vein of Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, internet reviewers will attempt to make all stops to get to their level on "reviewing" movies. This usually turns out to be nitpicking on shit they have no taste about and whining about how the movie never catered to their tastes.
Video Games
The meat of this subject, without James Rolfe, we would never have this page. Video games are usually reviewed by hardkore gamers themselves, and go a good way of showing why no one wants to be around the fanbase- Mainly because they are tryhard diehards that try too hard to want to "look cool". Don't be surprised if someone goes for the angry gimmick here- Shit like that goes hand in hand like a serial killer with a kitchen knife. Expect all of the flatearthing deluded socially clueless fucktard bullshit you'd expect from an internet forum meant to keep in such septic tank water of society, only in video "reviewing" form.
PROTIP: G4 was a laughably shitty landmark of video game fan culture, and anyone who followed it was at best a tool, and at best a used dildo for anal.
Anime & Manga
These get the shortest end of the stick, and for best reasons why. You'd think that you'd get Japanese animation and comics ruined by "omg zany kawaiii uguu uguu senpai" young weeaboos, but believe us that that is paradise when compared to what comes next. Anime and Manga get old, fat, disillusioned, dickless, sex deprived and talentless hambeast faggots who have the pleasure of being like the combination of boring racist grandpa AND creepy uncle- The former comes in how they will never stop bitching about how "anime and manga was better in our time", while the latter comes in how socially detached and fucking gross they are as people. Expect a lot of snarky fuckwit dumbfuckery combined with general ignorance, a lack of common sense about a form of media made in another country, loads of unwarranted self importance about how another nation needs to cater to their bloated uninspired lazy asses, and all tied up in a sheet of passive aggressive awkward cringey self hate as if to treat themselves like a living joke.
