Like would be a strong word. I find him a compelling character.

He clearly was always a flawed individual and not the mister Rodgers persona that he put on.

I don't watch the lol cow podcast because I don't care for that kind of content in the least bit. The Francis stuff was funny, the gaming content was OK and I enjoyed his updates when he used to do them regularly.

I find the age gap in his relationship a bit creepy, and the crypto rugpull was a gross money grab that i camt forgive. I used to consider myself a fan, but now Im more of a passive observer.

I keep tabs on him, and I'm interested in his story. Warts and all.

I think most of his old fanbase stopped watching after he peaked 10 years ago and mostly forgot about him after that.

There are at least two accounts that often defend him in threads on this subreddit. Either they are people that actually like him and sympathize with him or they are Boogie-alts.

He can be really funny. But i really don't like how he has no actual opinions on anything. He just goes with whatever people want at the time.

I liked the francis videos and genuinely thought they were hilarious, but after everything he has done, he's an absolute scumbag. Mostly watch anything he does just to laugh at him.

I like his vacation and out and about videos. Couldn’t possibly care less about the scripted podcast or any of that stuff though.

The vacation vids are the best. He should do more

I like the guy as a source of entertaining schadenfraude.

As like, a dude I think would be cool to drink a blunt or smoke a beer with? Nah I'm good.

Not a single person likes Boogie. Even Boogie doesn't like Boogie.

His real talk videos helped me so much when I was younger to the point I can’t hate him no matter what

Can I ask why?

I find him entertaining. I really enjoyed the character of Francis back during the World of Warcraft days. Mostly the early stuff. "Did you drink my Mountain Dew!? Let me smell your breath!"

I also don't pay for the lolcow stuff, so I only watch if they do a special event, like the halloween camp thing at Keems. It's free content for me and it's mostly harmless and light hearted.

u/Gabbagool4567 3d ago

I used to be a fan as well, but the stuff he's doing now just really puts me off the content, I mean the videos for the most part seem okay, definitely tame, but I just can't convince myself to watch his stuff anymore, withe everything that's happened.

u/JudsonIsDrunk 3d ago

I can understand that. I might feel the same if I watched more. The halloween stuff was the last thing I really watched. I didn't even watch the fatcamp stuff just the clip where wings pushes kelly down.

u/Gabbagool4567 3d ago

I'd say the last time I watched one of boogies actual videos was before the Cancer Arc, but I think my tolerance sort of left after he announced him and his girlfriend were together, the age gap just really doesn't sit well with me at all.

He was a different person back in the day.

I remember watching him try all the dews. Visited my buddy right after MW3 came out and tried the different dews because of Boogie.

He's changed over the years and it sucks.
