Hello, I've been watching SML for quite some time now, years even, he was one of the first YouTube channels I started actively watching. However this isn't the point of this topic, I want to talk about the fanbase.

For starters, I'm not talking about everyone (of course) but this is a rather large part of the community.

Firstly, you are all expecting WAY too much out of Logan. Yes, he isn't perfect and there are issues I have with his content, but he isn't Shakespeare and throwing a tantrum whenever Jeffy or Junior appears on the screen or [insert joke you don't like here] is used isn't going to magically turn him into Shakespeare. He's a 22-year-old man playing with puppets and stuffed animals and recording silly adventures and scenarios to put up on YouTube, it isn't A Song Of Ice And Fire (or Game of Thrones, if you prefer that title) nor is it Lord of the Rings, get over yourselves and stop acting like it is.

Secondly, old SML had just as many, if not more problems as new SML.

Don't kid me wrong, I hated it when Jeffy's role in the video was "swear a bunch" and that's it. But is it any worse than, I dunno, Mario's old chipmunk voice that you couldn't understand 80% of the time? And on the topic of Jeffy, outside of swearing, I see toilet humour criticised as well, don't kid me wrong I don't think toilet humour is funny (at all) myself, but you cannot complain about Jeffy's toilet humour in one hand and ask for Tony the Tiger (who had such steller, Shakespeare-worthy dialouge like: "It looks like a poop!" in the type of voice you make when you're mocking someone for their intelligence) to come back in another.

The list goes on but I made my point

I'm fine with criticism, I've done it myself. But there's a line between "criticising a YouTuber" and "being Mr. Enter levels of pretentious and demanding of a guy who makes YouTube PUPPET videos"
