YouTuber and hot take crafter VideoGameDunkey did what he usually does and released a video about a recent game, this time being Xenoblade Chronicles 3. As expected, Dunkey stuck to his guns and continued to lean into his persona that has a long history of self-admitted dislike for JRPGS, which Xenoblade squarely falls into.

Also, as expected, some on Twitter erupted in a sea of uproar over the video game review and began to get angry at Dunkey, apparently enough to cause him to become trending on the platform. The primary part of the anger, however, stems from his use of spoilers in his video without warning, with the game just being released a little over a month ago.


This, however, created a counter backlash against Twitter, by Twitter. As usual, people began to call out others for going too far in their hatred of Dunkey, with one Twitter artist pointing out that the numerous caricatures of Dunkey done in a way to shame and upset him are really just done in bad taste and shouldn't be how things are done.

Others began pointing out how Dunkey not liking the JRPG doesn't impact the game in the slightest for those who do enjoy it, and that Twitter drama like this solves nothing. This also became a rallying point for people who are just mad at anime and JRPG fans, with Dunkey possibly gaining allies by virtue of shared dislike of Xenoblade.


In the end, it seems Dunkey was able to post and laugh off the situation, which is just one of multiple he has caused in the past by not wholly agreeing with the opinion of a large part of social media, with his most recent example being his liking of Last of Us 2.

This, in turn, has caused some people to label Dunkey a contrarian, who knows that cherrypicking and posting hot takes about small parts of the game will just lead to this exact thing happening, effectively admitting that Dunkey knows how to game the system.
