> (in a non homo way) Was this really necessary

>>281905596You know if someone feels the need to deny being homo out of nowhere he's 100% closeted homo. Like come on, it's not like it's a bad thing, fuckboy...
>>281905576whos he?
>>281906710https://www.youtube.com/user/GrumpyJiisan/videosThe only "youtuber" worthy of respect.
>>281905576OK, homo
newfags never even heard of him. this is sad as fuck. i suppose 4chan itself will be forgotten soon enough.
>>281908055What's the oldest thing we have that's still around? R/a/dio?
Reminder that /a/ found out that he passed away in 2023, and he watched anime until the very end.
>>281908180We did? RIP Jiisan
>>281906792Clicked on a random video and he's just giving the synopsis. Not grumpy at all. No disrespect for the man but isn't this a case of being early so he gets a pass?
>>281908231Dude was a 1980’s tape trader that invented a new subtitling format for anime. He’s basically the oldest of oldfags possible stateside. His YouTube career was refreshing at the time because it was still in an era where active anime watching was predominantly seen as a teenagerly thing to do. In addition, the expected quality of YouTube was lower, he had pretty good taste and articulated himself well. The novelty of an older gaijin also made him a minor eceleb in Japan where translated videos of his got nico nico views back in the day.
>>281908228Yeahhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/265430302/#265469039
>>281908317What an OG. Thanks for linking the thread.
>>281908145I doubt if its the oldest thing, but I wonder if that guy that showed up every so often in battlestation threads with the fancy wallpaper and touhou paintings that lost his wife and kids is still around. Hopefully he's doing ok.
>>281908317Wait, this implies he had no close family, but I could have sworn some of his own review videos implied he had grandchildren.
>>281908457I don’t think it’s right to pry any further into that subject, mostly focused on his anime escapades and a sense of finality to the mystery of his disappearance.
>>281908449>William ChowOh shit this guy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQAe2JWw2OY
>>281905576Is this Ghostpolitics?
>>281908455I completely forgot about him, I don't think I've heard this brought up in like a decade.
>>281908457I'm just jumping into the thread and know nothing about the guy, but semantics can be important.>no close familydoes not imply lineage but rather... well, closeness. he could have kids who were estranged and they had children he doesn't even really know.>>281905596no homo allowed
>>281905576Only pre-election 4söys know who this is
>>281905576I got his videos all downloaded and still watch some of them if I need a recommendation, funny enough.
>Old 4söys take this old kek seriouslyKekk..................................................
>>281908317>one of the estate photos showed that he bought the Gunbuster Blu-ray by DiscotekThat came out only a few months before his death. He really did stick with it til the very end. God bless.
>>281905576I bet he is still alive, shitposting on /a/ and AniDB
>>281909396It makes me happy to know he remained mentally intact enough to keep up with hobbies, even if his body was giving out on him. Much better to spend your final years that way than the reverse.
>>281905576All this walking in the wild did not improve his health.
