    Imagine being mad at the dude rather than his girlfriend ditching him like that.

    Why is he angry at him? She kissed him back rather than saying she has a boyfriend.

      Yeah, I always think it’s odd when people blame the 3rd party in these situations. It makes me think this dude looked at his girlfriend like he looks at property and its the same as getting his car stolen. She made a choice.

      Because the guy is actually a POS as he considered her “his” as though she is property, so Tom “stole” her.

      Only an emotionally mature person realizes it takes 2 to cheat.

      I mean, why wouldn’t you? Why would an anonymous person on the internet lie for no reason?

      [spoiler] Yes, it’s obviously fake. Also, I’m pretty sure Tom is gay, isn’t he? [/spoiler]

        It was mostly a joke. I have no idea if he’s gay, I just know he makes amazing videos

        I don’t have any info on this to be honest, but he does not give off het vibes at all. Gay? Aro? Ace? Standard English repressed? Idk, any of those.

          I’ve always wondered what his personal life is like. I really like that he tries to keep it separated – it’s professional – but still.

            He even said something on the lines of “This Tom Scott is a character. Based on the real one, but nonetheless.” I forget his exact wording, or which video it was in.

              Oh yeah, he did say that. I suppose it’s natural when there’s a side of you that you show to the public and a side that you show to your friends. It’s like how everyone acts sightly differently around their parents

              I think any successful, level headed host, actor, media personality has a character they play in public. Actually to expand on that most people that are successful and want to keep sane have a public character.

        It’s 4chan, of course it’s made up. That said who knows what Tom would do. We don’t know a thing about him outside of what he chooses to show on youtube. There have been enough scandals with celebs who seemed nice to show that we don’t know who people really are. Not saying he is an asshole, he could be perfectly nice, just that we don’t know.

        It’s probably fake but just because you’re seen some videos of a guy doesn’t mean you know what he’s like off camera.

      4chan is a place where anonymous people can post whatever they want with no account.

      As they say on their own website - “only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.”

      …I am beginning to realize that 2007 was 16 years ago. There’s a whole generation of people who were born after 4chan had its heyday. People who don’t even know what 4chan is.

      So, uh, no. That’s not him. 4chan just does that stuff.

        Hi, actual Tom Scott here

        I can confirm that this 4chan post was indeed made by me and that the story of me making out with this guys girlfriend is also true. Chick had jugs like you wouldn’t believe it. Bitch as loser just sat there and cried. Anyway, I’m off to Poland to film a video about a really interesting public toilet they have there.

        Tom Scott out.

        PS: Matt Gray is also here with me.

        Hi it’s me, Matt Grey. I also do youtube, sometimes.

          Guys… What if a video about an interesting Polish toilet actually comes out next week? Then we’d have really been pwned.

        Next video, he’s standing in a volcanic wasteland or something

        “I’m here at what is widely considered to be the harshest, most inhospitable, shit hole of the planet. This volcano is irrelevant because I’m talking about…”

        He pulls up a laptop and points it at the screen

        “…4chan”

      I particularly love the random “typical left leaning holier than thou type” dig 😂 Like, how can any normal person be so hung up on someone else’s political leaning that has nothing to do with the content they put out or even the context of the thread

      To the original post? Find an archive site for /tv/ and search using the post number(top right). Don’t be surprised if you come across some offensive stuff, though.

          Why wouldn’t they be? Anons story implies that he’s less attractive than Tom Scott, who’s not exactly a pillar of traditional masculinity. Also it’s 4chan, what do you expect? /tv/ isnt as bad as /pol/ or /b/, but it’s still up there as one of the worst boards on the site.

            I guess… I’ve just never seen so much unprovoked toxicity before though on my whole time on Lemmy/Reddit

    Tom Scott is insufferably uncharasmatic. Sure his content is excellent, but he’s stupidly unfunny, awkward to watch with other people on camera, and I imagine would be an absolute bore to talk to.
