Sargon of Akkad: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Action Girl]]: Sargon's a fan of these, ~~but~~ he's not a fan of the feminist interpretations of what constitutes one.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sargon's a fan of these, mentioning the movie ''[[Alien]]'' as being among his all time favorites. But he's not a fan of the feminist interpretations of what constitutes one.

* [[And Now For Something Completely Different]]: Some of the earlier videos on Sargon's main channel include gaming videos and historical readings, which can come across as this. Eventually, he set up separate accounts for his gaming content and strictly historical content respectively.

* [[Angrish]]: Not frequently, but some of the stuff he covers in "This Week in Stupid" wind up doing this to him.

Line 22:

* [[Berserk Button]]: Any distortion, manipulation and censorship of anything historical or factual is a major pet peeve for him. Also, radical feminism.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Sargon's generally nice and considerate. Piss him off however and he can be ''merciless.''

* [[Big Name Fan]]: Of sorts to [[Gamergate]], having expressed sympathy and support to pro-GG.

* [[Cool Teacher]]: In general, he manages to make history and socio-political commentary both engaging and fun.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He tends to do this frequently, often at stuff he finds inane.

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Downplayed. His first posted videos on [[YouTube]] in 2013, which coincidentally involved [[Feminist Frequency]], have a considerably lower voice quality as well as a tendency to constantly change which image of the historical Sargon of Akkad to use. His style and mannerisms have remained more or less consistent even then, though it wouldn't be until July 2014 that the first actual "This Week in Stupid" video would be posted.

* [[Flame War]]: The' comment section for some of his videos can turn into this. Not to mention that Sargon himself is no stranger to these either.

* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Sargon at times has a tendency to stumble on things that would make him question his faith in humanity.

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Every now and then, a friend or fellow [[YouTube]] commentator would take the reins of "This Week in Stupid" as a guest host.

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: He's particularly fond of pointing out how ideologues like to project their own tendencies onto others or [[Not So Different|behave like their ideological "rivals."]] It also forms part of the basis for "Sargon's Law."

* [[History Repeats]]: Occasionally, he makes comments on how certain events or ideologies are repeating the past.

* [[Hope Spot]]: While he's immersed himself in topics that would drive many to despair, he still comes across things that make him more hopeful for humanity.

* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: Given what he generally tends to come across, he doesn't particularly have a high view of at least some segments of the human race.

* [[Mean Brit]]: Averted, usually. He's rather amiable and prefers to give even his opponents the benefit of a doubt. Once he gets pissed off however, this goes into full effect.

Line 34:

Line 37:

* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: He's expressed more than a few times how he's not exactly fond of them or certain movements born from the 1960s counterculture.

* [[One of Us]]: When he's not talking politics or social commentary, Sargon not only tends to demonstrate his nerdiness frequently. But he's also an amateur game developer [http://otherworldssoftware.com/ working on an game] called ''Necromancer.''

* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: Downplayed, but he's proud of being an Englishman and his British heritage.

* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: Sargon has no love for it. Over time, it's also contributed to his growing disdain for what's been called the "Regressive" and "Illiberal" Left.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: He doesn't swear a lot, but his cursing is timed ''very'' appropriately.
