That and the fact that it's easier to lie about a distant past and obscure shit. The more I see him, the more I learn, the more it looks like he doesn't know much.
I would argue that "play it safe" is a sure way to become stagnant and boring in the long term, which has happened to pretty much everyone in CA. But I get your point. Even avoiding politics, critiquing all the bad SJW comics is a sure way to get into pointless fights on twitter.
This reminds me, maybe a nitpick, about how I find super annoying the way Linkara overexplains why he won't do something before an episode.
"I won't review anime/current comics because... (insert +5 minute tangent that wastes everyone's time).
The thing that kills me about Lewis was him doing that meet up review on Killer7. Motherfucker had all that time before the convention to not even play the game, but look up a damn Let's Play or tread through the Suda51 Wiki for information. I get that Killer7 is a confusing story at times with a lot of loose ends and symbolism that has to be digested to get the overall theme, but the base of it is: You're an assassin with multiple personalities working for the US Government taking out suicide bomber terrorists, in a still socially dysfunctional world even in a new era of peace; kill them all and their associates. If all you can do to get by in your reviews is to mention constantly just "how bizarre things are" in the story, then that's an obvious sign you didn't take the time to reflect and ask how and why said things are bizarre and makes said story bizarre, and should turn in your critic card and hang yourself. Critical thinking skills are crucial for reviewing, but Lewis and his kind were most likely the motherfuckers in high school who never took a clue to shut up in class before the teacher issued extra homework for everyone just because they never listen.
I've been to some of his manga reviews at conventions, really. While I did get a good laugh from his Tandy Computers comic review because the nerds in the story were just outright Orwellian to where they didn't even act like children, Lewis evidently shows that his teenage years were full of cuckery. If Yu Gi Oh weirds him out because Yami Yugi is an outright diehard gambler who stakes out grievous punishment to the scum that faces him, that Joey lets Yugi borrow his porn, and other things teenagers do as adolescents, don't let him read anything else with extreme violence, exploring sexual curiosity mildly or let alone show him hentai. Dude is so thin skinned it's embarrassing to know how much of a snowflake he was during high school.
