Why KSIOlajidebt Is The Biggest Arsehole On YouTube

By M00kyst @mookyst
I've never done an article 'hating' on someone before for the simple fact that if someone pisses me off, I will keep my contact and interaction with them at a minimum and be done with it.

But there are a few reasons why I really want to point out why Mr. KSIOlajidebt is the biggest arsehole, piece of shit on YouTube. 
There are many YouTubers that I dislike. However KSI is different. The thing with him is he is actually affecting you even if you don't watch his videos. Yes, his arseholism is reaching further than YouTube itself.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for writing this, especially from his fans, but do note that I am not doing this because I'm 'jealous' or I've got 'nothing better' to do. I simply want to express my opinion on why KSI is a total dick.

1) His Pranks Cross The Line

I like watching YouTube pranksters like Vitaly and PrankVsPrank because what they do is funny. The thing about KSI's pranks is, well, they're not funny.
Recently he did a video titled 'What Did You Call Me?' and it was a prank featuring himself dressed up in a monkey costume along with Callux (another YouTuber) who was holding a mic. Oh and the anonymous camera man too.
So KSI (dressed as this monkey), along with Callux, would proceed to approach people and talk to them. Callux invited them to do a little test and asked them basic questions like 'what's the capital of England?'. After a few of these easy questions, Callux then pointed to KSI in the monkey suit and asked: 'What's this?', to which almost everyone replied: 'A monkey'. Cue the extremely predictable and dumb 'climax' where KSI rips off the head of the costume in order to respond in an angry fashion, like some kid that has just had his World Of Warcraft subscription cancelled and found out that he isn't going to Burger King for lunch.
KSI basically starts getting angry at these people for calling him a monkey, because he himself is black. Obviously any normal human can see they're not being racist. He just happened to be wearing a monkey outfit.
Now this probably just sounds like a shit prank, right? But there are a few things that the infamous KSI did that were just downright stupid.
Number 1: He started squaring up to everyone like he was about to beat the shit out of them. One guy looked like he was going to shit himself. In fact, KSI was so close to the poor man's face he couldn't even look straight at him. Is this supposed to be a 'joke'? All you're doing is threatening people with your body language. If he'd done that to me I actually would have nutted him. And I'm not just saying that. I hate people that get up in my face and act like, well, pricks. I'm really surprised he didn't get into a fight over it. And remember: these people weren't even being racist. He is pretending to be offended by them. Apparently that's the prank. Or something like that.
Number 2: He called them out as racist. Yes, in the middle of the street he called a guy out as being a racist.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he called out obnoxiously, "This man called me a monkey!"
Little tip, KSI, you can't do that. You can't call a white person out for being racist in public. Do you know how bad that looks? What if people actually thought the guy was being racist? Do you not have ANY maturity?
Number 3: He insulted them. He called one girl a bitch, which she seemed pretty insulted by. And all of this for what? Where is the prank here? I don't GET IT?!
Getting angry at someone - or at least 'pretending' to - is not a prank. The prank should be the OTHER way around. When Russian prank pro Vitaly does a prank, he pushes people's buttons. "Hey," he'll say to a body builder with clearly massive muscles, "You're a bit skinny in the arms aren't you?". And then the body builder is pissed at him. The audience can go "Woah, Vitaly, you gonna get hit one of these days!", and it's totally brilliant! And then, at the end, Vitaly usually tells the guy it's a prank, they bump fists, have a laugh and then everything is cool.
There is nothing funny involved in getting angry at some poor people for something they didn't mean and squaring up to them, insulting them and calling them out as racist. Where is the prank there? A GOOD prankster makes it the other way around. He/her makes the OTHER person get angry at THEM and then at the end they chill it down and have a laugh about it.
What KSI did was irresponsible and obnoxious.
2) He Doesn't Show Any Subscriber Appreciation 

Oh, would you look at that, KSI reached 2.5 million subs! Does he even know? He hasn't said anything....
KSI doesn't show any sub appreciation at all. It's like he can't be assed to do a video saying "THANKS FOR THE 2.5 MIL SUBS GUYS!".
Maybe he's the most grateful guy normally, but he doesn't show it on his channel.
3) KSI Army

So this one is actually about his FANS, not him, although he doesn't help this issue. His fans and his 'army' are some of the most obnoxious, stupid and rude people on YouTube.
No one, not PewDiePie's bros, not Syndicate's fans - NO ONE - is as freakishly obsessed and as nasty as KSI's army. Say one bad thing about him and you'll have all the little weirdos threatening to kill your family. Apparently this man is God and you can't say a bad word about him.
Here is an example of the type of shit these bastards say (and by the way this comment got 49 thumbs up): "spam that fuck with hate and reports.. *EDL iJamesi*" 
EDL James was just a guy who beat KSI at FIFA. And now he is going to get spammed just for that. Why even bother playing KSI at FIFA if all you're gonna get is hate, spam and probably a few death threats too?
His 'army' is pretty disgusting in my opinion.
4) He Ruins FIFA & Takes Credit Where It's Not Due

This is where you can't avoid the wrath of the serial dick KSI. His influence is so large that when he says something, people do it. He says you should buy this player on FIFA Ultimate Team? People buy him. He says NOT to buy a player? People don't buy him.
That's not a big deal, but KSI influences people to play the game like arseholes. After he made a video titled 'Being A C*nt', in which he showed how to play the game in an incredible unsporting and cheap way that involves playing for time and not giving the other person a chance, everyone started doing it. He could have come out and said: "It was just a joke everyone! Don't really play like that!". But he didn't. He simply started playing that way himself. And so everyone on the game copied him. Now FIFA is full of people who play the game like total douche bags. Nice going KSI!
He also takes credit where it, quite frankly, isn't due. He claims he 'invented' scoring sweaty goals and playing 'like a c*nt'. But that's a ridiculous thing to claim. There have always been people that score cheap 'sweaty' goals and play for time in a cheap manor. All he did was give playing those ways titles, so people could identify them easier.
5) He Can't Take What He Dishes Out & He Has ZERO Maturity

After making this 'Being a C*nt' video, where he showed everyone how to play FIFA 13 in an incredible cheap way, he began playing like it himself.
Recently he made a video called 'Road To $100 - Great Start!' in which he was thrashed by his opponent and lost a total of, I believe, $5. Yes, he lost $5. Remember that: this match was for FIVE. DOLLARS. And he makes an extremely high amount of money from each individual video he puts up.
During the match, after embarrassing KSI and scoring a couple of goals, the opponent, who goes by the name of 'EDL James', began giving KSI a taste of his own medicine. In the 65th minute he began playing 'like a c*nt'. What did KSI do? He. Went. Mental.
He was swearing his head off at this guy and then said: "Do people actually play the game like this? My video was a joke."
.....
Apparently KSI's video about playing the game 'like a c*nt' was a joke. OK, I can accept that. But he himself played that way for several videos afterwards. And in these videos, not only did he play 'like a c*nt', but he also sent his opponents messages afterwards saying things like "You are bad." and "Break your disc.". Really promoting being a good player aren't you KSI?
Anyway, it's clear he is a hypocrite who can't take what he dishes out.
While playing EDL James, KSI got SO mad he actually gave the other guy death threats.
"I'm going to kill you" is part of what he said. And "I'm going to find you and shove a screwdriver up your arse". I don't mean to be all 'prude' like, but what the fuck was he thinking? You can't send people death threats - even if it is online. He even went as far as saying "Someone find this guy's IP address". Oh great, poor EDL James will probably be found dead now because your silly little 'army' are so dedicated to you they will probably hunt him down and murder him. And I'm not joking either. That could easily happen.
Anyway, EDL James, I salute you. You, Sir, are a legend.
Ultimately KSI has gone from a friendly teen who makes funny videos to an angry, immature, extremely irresponsible serial areshole. It's a shame, because he seemed such a nice guy a year or so ago. Now, however, he calls people in public racist, gives people death threats on FIFA over $5, can't bear having people play against him how he plays against them and turns the FIFA community to shit. Well done, KSI, you're officially the biggest piece of shit on YouTube.
