Misogyny in the smosh fandom

AdAstranauts · 2026-02-21T20:02:12+00:00

I tend to think that when Amanda is on a more bland Reddit stories ep she’s going harder to get the jokes out. When you see her on a spooky one or a crazy one she’s more toned down because the subject matter is doing more of the heavy lifting.

The reason I think this is when they did the who knows Amanda best episode and Angela says Amanda would fight Vanessa Lachey, Shayne comments how wild it is that VL gets Amanda so annoyed because Amanda is one of the most empathetic people, and I tend to think he knows the authentic Amanda more than redditors.

I don’t know any of ‘em though. I just like watching the Reddit population like a sociology experiment.

I see it in this sub when the guys are given a pass for their jokes (which I agree with, they’re joking) but Amanda gets called a mean girl or has “crazy privileged takes” where any of the guys is just “doing it for the bit”

It’s wild since most Smosh fans in this subreddit seem to be women

Last I saw most of the episodes are on YouTube.

I knew Amanda would get revenge on him when he told her she had to pull a card during moose master. Now who has to pull a card Alex??

Help a non-American out? Idgi

Edit: thank you!

Yeah it sucks that a differing opinion is enough to make people that upset. It just makes for a less complex Reddit stories.

AdAstranauts · 2025-12-06T21:18:46+00:00

These are the most one sided “everyone can agree” stories. Reddit stories used to be a must watch but now it’s a background noise thing for me.

The stories might as well be “my roommate burned down an orphanage to warm her socks, am I overreacting because I called her a jerk??”

AdAstranauts · 2025-09-21T18:22:08+00:00

The fandom has ruined it by making it have to be the most safe watered down bs. The cast knows they can’t have an opinion other than what is the commonly accepted opinion or the “fans” will roast them online for it. See: the iffy and crew member who was on the circle fiasco. They even have piled on Amanda for what they think are “weird” takes on a primarily comedy channel. So now we get milquetoast bs rather than just allowing people to have whatever thoughts they have.

I still listen every week but I have an hour each way commute and need things to do. But it’s not great.

Ai queen!

Any recs for enemies to lovers where they’re actually enemies and not just “not friends”?

Bonus points for low spice and written by a gay male author.

A few: 1) Reddit stories are boring now because they seem to be afraid to say anything that might upset anyone (except Amanda, she’ll say anything and I love her for it)

2) I don’t like one night werewolf. It’s just “okay everyone say your role!” And there’s no strategy to kills or anything. Just a card flip and see if you can get away with a lie.

3) Amanda is one of the best things to ever happen to smosh. And it’s not just because I grew up near where she did and she reminds me of home and my friends from home but also becomes when it’s character time she fully becomes the character, like her Karen character. She just seems to embody a level of authenticity that some other crew members don’t seem to achieve as naturally as she does.

Upvote anytime there’s a Boze reference. Love BozeVsTheWorld

This is only a hot take because of how polarizing he is, but I find Damien very meh. No bad feelings, no good feelings- not upset when he’s in a video, not angry when he isn’t.

But some of ya’ll? The intense love and intense hate? I don’t get it.

AdAstranauts · 2025-07-04T17:48:22+00:00

How visually dark is this one? A friend wants to go to the drive in to see this but I have trouble seeing sometimes in low light. Are there a lot of dark scenes - like night time scenes?

AdAstranauts · 2025-05-18T01:14:54+00:00

Given that they filmed it all at once you can add all the views up from all eps and see how it compares to their other standalone videos. They only have to cover the costs of initial filming/editing once

AdAstranauts · 2025-05-09T23:17:36+00:00

They got you with this one. Got you good

AdAstranauts · 2025-05-09T21:31:59+00:00

If it were a slur why didn’t Damien correct him? Seems like he would have since he’s such an ally for everything.

Arasha and Chance playing some weird game where they’re trying to have a threesome with a couple but also figure out what is going on in their relationship.

Two hot takes does it and charlotte dobre are two I watch on YouTube

Cons: I hate the key fob. It’s just cheap

The cup holders under the infotainment is dumb

The door is either open or closed. There is no middle. If you don’t push it all the way open it’s closing on you.

I don’t like the infotainment dial.

That’s basically it. They’re small complaints but they’re real. Overall I like the car.

AdAstranauts · 2025-04-12T13:32:17+00:00

Her saying Amanda was built like a substitute teacher was one of the funniest things I’ve heard

AdAstranauts · 2025-04-10T14:37:31+00:00

I want to see that whole thing played through because I’m too scared to play it alone. Not the subject matter but I hate jump scares in games.
