Yeah, true. However, why does he use his persona in his public announcements? Even AVGN leaves his angry act aside in all his non-AVGN videos.
PS: I find funny when people say "I'm going to be devil's advocate", when it's just that their honest opinion is the unpopular one in the discussion.
I guess the whole angry persona thing is partialy his own personality aswell as somthing done for youtube, if that is true then it explains the use of the angry persona in "public annoucements". Pure guess work but it makes sense to me.
As for the devilish advocation i personaly don't have much of an opinion on joe which is why i used it, like i said earlier i just found the irony of people being angry about a guy famed for angry stuff kinda funny.
I think it is pretty understandable why people would 'hide' behind being a devil's advocate in order to voice an unpopular opinion. No one wants to be ostracised for relaying thier opinions, but the internet and the nature of communication on it make such actions far too easy, if many other people have already voiced the counter opinion then it will probably happen sooner or later to the first person who disagrees.
Forums in particular are pretty much just echo chambers for one type of opinion, very few people go into them seeking to change thier views on a topic, instead they go in to reafirm that they made the 'correct' judgment.
That last part is just my own experiance about forums talking, so take that with as much salt as you want.
Good day sir/madame.
