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

My father used to love saying: “It takes two to tango”
Did your mom cheat a lot?
No. His father was an amateur dancer.
Always bragging to his son about how good he was at dancing.
… It takes two to tango … Yes! We know you are good at dancing dad!
He used it in the context that whenever either me or my brother complained to him about something, it was because both parties usually were guilty of starting shit and just one of us was complaining about it.

I’d be quite miffed at both but way too British to make a scene or likely even say anything.
I’ve had this happen to me as the guy supposedly stealing the girlfriend.
Except that until her boyfriend came looking for a fight, I had no idea she was with someone else and she made no indication as such.
And this was after going on several dates with her.Suffice to say, I haven’t spoken to her since. I’m not a cheater and I don’t want to facilitate cheating.
And when I notified him of the fact I had no clue they were together, he was level headed enough to not be pissed at me anymore for what happened.
Him, I have actually seen and spoken to since then.
Are you dating him now?
Here comes the plot twist folks
What if we are?
Just need to know how the story continues
This is how two adults act.
The good ending.
Either way, his face would remind you of the incident.
A tale as old as time
I suspect it was a chance of liberation for the girl that she needed to act on. Kudos, it appears to have worked for her and I hope she’s doing better now.
My friend, it’s a greentext which means it’s entirely and unequivocally real. Your assessment is correct.
His latest video begins : “I am just outside your girlfriend’s apartment …;”
3 million subscribers instantly start calling their girlfriends
“To you or I it looks just like a regular girlfriends house. But there’s a secret.
Hidden behind this door your girlfriend has built a complete tank plane submarine rotating house simulator.
Why? -scoffs- why not? It’s just cool. And when I heard about it, I had to come and see it for myself.”
“I got an email asking whether I’d like to come and see it. raises eyebrow… Yes??!”

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.
Still a pretty shitty one. The blame is on her though
To be fair, the question wasn’t about the girlfriend. They could hate both of them.
Y she kiss back doe
Alcohol is often served at parties. Alcohol makes decision making ungood.
She from and for the streets
Like if he would refuse a kiss from Tom Scott himself.
He was actually at university the same time as me. He never guessed my girlfriend, I’m offended.
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.
Also a lot of these people reckon that “a girl that they know and spoke to once” is their girlfriend.
Will never not be amazed at the life of anon away from the keyboard
Or having a girlfriend
If Anon from 4chan has a girlfriend then I pity the girlfriend.

Is this his real response?
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.
The actual Tom Scott here. OP literally loves nothing more than to constantly deepthroat donkey dick.
- Will you date me?
- Haha, sorry, Tom Scott stole my phone and typed that!
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”
It’s a hacker, right?
The person claiming to be Tom Scott? No, but 4chan is.
Yes, please contact the cyber police.
Nothing on the internet ever happened, but that’s at least doubly true on 4chan.
Man 4chan in the late 00s was some good shit. I miss it and Mootykins
sage
In every field tho
There is no way in hell he would ever post to 4chan.
He made a long weepy post on his site how he would never use Reddit of all places, and how embarrassed he would be if “real world people” ever thought he was on it. He is exactly as insufferable and self righteous as you can imagine.
I mean he’s got a point tbh
The Tim Traveler is pretty good, I enjoy his videos more that Tom Scott’s.
I agree. Personally Tom Scott is not my thing. Tim Traveller is more approachable (for Europeans at least).
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
Sounds like him. He doesn’t have a subreddit for fairly similar reasons.
It’s probably his response copied from someplace else. Notice the holidays bit that doesnt fit the context.
Yea but it was posted on Dec 21st

I don’t think it was Tom. That sentence starting with “While” is not a complete sentence, which is suspicious because Tom is very precise with his language and is a nerd about grammar (he has made videos about linguistics). There are also a few other questionable grammar choices like the comma after “though” (I think there should either be no comma, or a comma both before and after?) Also, the comma after “thanks and regards” either needs to be followed by an “and” or it should have been replaced by a period or exclamation point.
I hate that idk if I should believe this or not
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]
I don’t know, isn’t he just British?
There are two sexualities: straight and british
I’m abritish
Sexiest gender
Well it’s a spectrum ffs you might be partially British and part straight.
what’s the difference?
According to my gay British friend, at least, Tom’s accent is super flamboyant by their standards.
I think I can give some insight into this. I grew up in the UK in the same sociocultural bubble that Tom did, although a live in another country now. I have also been called skinny and not very manly, and people have asked me once or twice if I’m gay. When I was younger I cared a lot about Following the Rules and being liked by everyone. Ie. typical Nice Guy stuff. I was also always quite tense, especially with my sexuality around girls. Mine and Tom’s thing is quite common in the UK and after giving it some thought I think what does it is the authoritarian upbringing. I went through the British school system, and their insistence on uniforms, graceless punishments for normal human mistakes like forgetting your PE kit, and the expectation that you will be a Responsible Young Adult (and not a wild teenager) frightened the cheekiness out of me when I was 7 and made me into what you see there. I’m 20 and it’s only started coming back to me in the past couple of years. I have no other childhood trauma so this is what it’s got to be.
you forgot to mention the fact that all most all secondary schools here are single sex.
I barely talked to post puberty women at all until i was in my late teens
you miss out on a lot of primary socialisation in that kind of environment
Depends on where you live I guess. One of my friends at Uni grew up in quite a posh area and went to an all-boys grammar school, but I’m pretty sure mixed-sex is the norm. I mean my first ever friend in primary school was a girl, it’s just that all the ones after that were boys and I just stuck with male friends after that. Doesn’t help that I started getting crushes on the girls in class when puberty hit so it was even harder to approach them normally
No they’re not.
I can’t verify if he his gay, but he did run for parliament under the name “Mad Cap’n Tom” in 2010 After he lost a bet about the New Orleans Saints winning the Superbowl.
His accent ain’t flamboyant at all.
It was mostly a joke. I have no idea if he’s gay, I just know he makes amazing videos
Pretty sure he’s mentioned female partners before. I think so, anyway.
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.
Yeah, you could easily make this up, and it doesn’t feel like something Tom would do
Def doesn’t but he does also seem like a smooth mfer
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.
I think it was in this video: https://piped.video/watch?v=UaGTFeibOEk
Hmm, no not that one. Tho it is a good video and says the same kind of thing :)
Oh is that one of the really meta videos?
Timestamp?

He is literally the poster child for software eng motherfuckers, he’s a nerd and goobs around 24/7, an absolute spaghetti dropper
The man could only ever smooth if he was with someone who likes what he embodies (which is a fair bit of the population tbh!)
But on the standardized smooth scale, Imma go on a limb and say that that man has no chance of pulling at the local salsa club
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.
You might say it’s fake and gay?
You responded to the wrong comment
You come home and there’s a red shirt on the floor.
“Im in Anon’s bedroom”
what it say “i dont think loose slut” ???
Probably something like don’t blame him, blame her
It says “I don’t think she was ever your girlfriend. I think she was a loose slut.”
Anyone know how to find a link to the original?
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.
Thanks

Why are they bullying him on there? It’s not even ironically like on r/roastme
Have you never been on 4chan before?
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
They feed on toxicity, it’s the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It’s addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.
Now realize that this describes 99% of angry people on the internet, and you will be one step closer to enlightenment my son.
Yep
Yeah, pretty much. There’s a reason it’s called the Internet Hate Machine.

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.
I read this in his voice.
Yeah. Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
And yet anon’s girlfriend still cheated…
