Youtube Lets Player. (real name Damien Jennison) Plays a lot of retro games with witty and self-defaming humor at his gaming skills and/or himself in general. Generally tends to play games in their most vanilla format, hes grown out of that over the years allowing for some expansions of game play. Avoids cheating or using past saves almost to the point of self-abuse.
For the most part a wonderful community in the YouTube comment section for his videos. He has recently branched out onto other platforms like Twitch playing XCOM UFO Defense. And he has ventured into Discord which is where the less-than-flattering aspects of his personality come through a lot more and some of the less-than-great members of his community tend to congregate, despite this mostly a good guy and a very good community.
"Did you see the video Kikoskia uploaded?"
"Yeah. It was very amusing when Kikoskia accidentally let that entire village get slaughtered."
"The hero of Veidar!! Kikoskia!"
Proper noun, as in it was (maybe still is) an online community for ultra-traditional and ultra-conservative Roman Catholics who like to imagine themselves as renovating Catholicism for a modern world like through rap-music and other pop-culture references. Members express virtually outright anti-democratic, anti-human-rights, or even fascist sentiments and get applauded or minimized when objections/concerns come up with the concern/objector being the target of bullying or outright trolling of one kind or another. Anti and pseudo science, philosophy, and intellectualism. They have several pseudo-intellectuals who will sometimes pop up to give very intellectually dishonest ramblings that any criticism or disagreement with is met again with bulling or trolling.
Of course the normal traditional Catholic stuff too like anti-sexuality, anti-contraception, anti-LGBTQ+, and so on is the norm. But to say that this is just a traditionalist and conservative message board would be an extremely misleading imagining. Even from a Catholic point of view they are disagreeable to the Second Vatican Council and most modern Popes, especially Pope Francis it would seem, the ordinary form (or the common mass in English). The community climate itself is at very best unhealthy and normally just toxic and abusive. Moderators do very little to curb this and do a lot more to protect their ultra-traditional and ultra-conservative haven that has driven away most of the members of the community.
"Did you read on Phatmass how they were saying democracy is immoral?"
"Yeah, Phatmass is a disaster."
"Thankfully I know that Phatmass isn't really Christian or Catholic."
"Phatmass taught me how hypocritical Christianity is."

The mass as celebrated by Latin rite Roman Catholics till ~1962 when the mass was reformed to what is called the 'ordinary form'. The (traditional) latin mass is sometimes called the Tridentine mass. The mass is in latin, mostly inaudible to the attenders, the priest faces away from the people, much more solemn and ritualistic. Now it tends to be an SSPX or RadTrad fixation who are ultra-conservative and ultra-traditional. Despite that there is some actual Roman Catholic usage, and increasing usage like with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, but it remains the 'extraordinary form'.
Person 1: The Latin Mass is very beautiful and solemn.
Person 2: But I couldn't hear the Priest at all. Also I was at the back so I couldn't even see what was going on.
Person 3: The new mass focuses on community and participation, like the early church, maybe the new mass doesn't have the solemness and beauty of the former but we can keep working on it.
RadTrad: You ALL don't even have the real mass anymore, you aren't real Catholics, the Pope is an imposter, and you all should be afraid because Jesus came to dispense justice just like the movie "Judge Dredd" (1995)
Person 1, 2, 3: You need help RadTrad.
Troll on Phatmass who is always having homicidal ideation and ready to support the murder/killing of people.
Person 1: KnightofChrist literally just said he wants all non-Catholics killed.
Phatmasser: Technically he said after they are rightfully convicted of heresy, apostasy, or paganism
Person 1: You can't seriously think that makes a difference
KnightofChrist: I can see Person 1 is going on the chopping block
Person 1: See what he wrote right there?
Phatmass Mod: Person 1 you are trolling.
Roman Catholics who enjoy or adhere to a more traditional practice of Catholicism. This tends to be more strict and within a Catholic context more legalistic. The traditional latin mass is admired for its solemnity and reverence. Morally they take a more traditional and harsher stance on contraception, extra-martial relationships, cohabitation, legbt+ matters, divorce, and so on... not necessarily 'radtrad' or 'sedevacantist' or 'sspx' or 'schismatic'.
"As a traditional Catholic I would rather the mass be in Latin to preserve the reference to the mass."
"You traditional Catholics lose sight of the social and communal nature that the mass was in the early church. Also how the church needs to exist in the modern world."
"That is a traditional Catholic family. See all the girls are wearing veils at mass."
