CrowbCat is a YouTube channel known for his videos criticizing the quality of most anticipated/hyped video games, E3 conferences and video game companies conventions.
A large part of his appeal is the cleverly constructed and interestingly arranged videos he produces. There is no commentary, but the videos always manage to explain themselves rather well. He was even featured on Vice.com's 'YouTube Channel of The Week' last year, in the article 'The YouTuber Who Can Make the Inane Interesting'
And here's this thread's entire raison d'etre: his latest video, a supercut of all the random goings-on at E3 this past week.
As a Black gamer, I tend to be more acutely aware of the racial undertones present in the vast majority of any white-produced online content - more so than the rest of the non-Black subscriber base. So you can imagine my surprise when at 4:06, I heard 'It'.
**To me, 'It' has come to mean any number of things that any white person could say at any point that will remind me that in spite of all our shared interests, they are still a white person.
Given enough time any and every white person will eventually say 'It' (See: Pewdiepie, Jontron, Keemstar, or that one Flint, MI Land Bank sales manager that said the water crisis was totally not caused by those 5 white folks charged with ''involuntary'' manslaughter, but instead by "ni**ers not paying [their] water bill").
Suffice it to say the predominantly white audience loved the video, and have vocally maligned any dissenters as oversensitive in this new age of ''political ultra-correctness.''
In the end, the Black audience is once again insulted and used as a prop for the hustlers who in the same breath will ask for their likes, subscriptions and support.
Support your own, Brehs.

And a quick shoutout to @koven for pushing 'Inherently', too.

The video eventually reaches its conclusion but not without a final jab at 18:12, in which the Black character, Bayek, is stereotyped as another gangster by the use of an old Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundbite.
