I remember going to comic book stores and buying manga and none of them were translated to English. I was renting anime from a Japanese video store with no subtitles. I had to keep that on the low because I didn't want to get ostracized. Glad to see black kids fully into without fear of being labeled a nerd.

There's a good number of brehs eating off anime/nerd culture. RDC, Caleb City, YaBoyRoshi, etc are making a killing off YouTube. Not only that but they collaborate. Most of them come through for Dream Con and Caleb has done skits with RDC.

It dawned on me that this man been in the game for a decade and a little bit, yet still manages to not miss a single bit :wow:

This is a prime example of viral comedy done right.

  • Add the culture to the nerdom
  • Don't spread yourself too thin
  • Switch up the topics
  • Don't try to even think of selling your soul short
If black folks moved with such strength like these brehs.....man.....the game would be locked and key behind black excellence without the bullshyt.

He says he's rejected multiple deals because they don't want the whole team. I'm glad he's standing his ground and bringing his people with him no matter what.
