What does everyone really think of kickingmustang

The thing is, he may be scraping a living from it, but he doesn't seem happy about it.  Having to constantly generate more and more drama by travelling further and further to fewer and fewer sites doesn't seem like a winning strategy.

If he wasn't giving such a piss poor impression of the hobby, I'd almost pity him.

He mostly only plays the same few sites that let him in (Phoenix is one I think). Doesn't matter where he plays really, as long as he can generate enough footage to convert into click bait then he's fine. He's always been quite open about how little of a shit he gives about airsoft as a whole. I did see him pop up in a couple of Savage Actual videos on YT about one of the big milsims but I think that even they got the arse with him talking a good fight but not really being there for the game so much as the chance to get some clicks.

Don't pay too much mind to Social Blade - it's good for collating all the public info about a social media personality (e.g. subscriber count and trends), but its algorithm for how much money someone makes is a mere guess at best and likely to be very wrong for all apart from the biggest names.

I remember KM tweeting about pushing back against his landlord trying to increase his rent. So despite Social Blade reporting his income that high, he's not got onto the property ladder?

Oh I am sure the financial numbers are miles out - I was comparing to the other Channel where I know he is supporting his family from his YouTube income despite much smaller subs - although I forgot to mention he does live streams with extra Superchat revenue too.  I assume too that his missus also has at least part time work.

According to Social Blade, I get between £3 and £41 a year - which i can assure you is a massive over exaggeration. 

At least we are all united under the opinion he is a hateful POS doing the hobby more harm than good. ?

Absolutely right. To me, airsoft is about a bunch of (mostly) grown-ups playing dress-up and running around like toddlers on tartrazine, shooting each other and having a bloody good laugh at ourselves.

I like seeing new players at site get bitten by the bug, learning off the experienced heads, showing off guns and gear, and generally being huge nerds. I don't see us as any different to model railway enthusiasts, stamp collectors or any other hobby that has a passionate, niche following.

Boasting about hurting people, especially "noobs," generating drama where there is none or generally just being an obnoxious tit does nothing to take the hobby forward.

Makes you wonder why phoenix, & the very few others that allow him on site, still do so ?. 

His crap is well documented, as is the large scale site ban, I would think most of his YouTube following are initially noobs that don't know better & as their experience & community knowledge grows they mostly soon give up watching his shite (only to be replaced by the next wave of naive noobs, akuna mattata?) 

I would imagine that knowing he's a regular at any site is likely to deter more players than it attracts, yet still they entertain his presence ?.

I can only think that they're banking on his "celebrity" status to pull in the newbies and fan boys. I can't see being a good long term strategy though unless there's no other sites in the area

 
Agree, his so called "popularity" must be close to it's expiration date. 

Speaks volumes though for the site owners integrity, or lack of it. ?

Lets put it another way - would people watch his videos and defend him if he got into rugby purely to try and high tackle people? Or football if his aim was to two-foot lunge everyone in sunday league (albeit this happens anyway)? Would people still want to play in a league that allowed this to carry on?

 
I think we have collectively given the oxygen thief enough of our time, ignore him he will eventually go away, get bored, run out of places to play or someone will twat him one.

That's the bit that really bothers me. We know there are plenty of nob-goblins out there, and we're relying on sites to identify and deal with them.  That Phoenix seems to actually welcome this sordid sociopath - knowing full well that he's revelling in breaching the first rule of airsoft - means that they don't give a stuff about any of their other customers.  They're fully complicit, and it's not a site that I'd ever visit on that basis.

The man is a bell-end of the highest order. The only thing I can recommend absolutely is his Twitter, which is a collection of nuclear hot takes and some of the purest, most concentrated cringe ever to splatter across the face of the internet. Some recent highlights include:

Have you considered forging COVID-19 certificates?

personally, I think he's a massive twat. 

he has a really punchable face. he sometimes makes it look like that he hit someone, even though the BB is very clearly going towards the next county over. and like everybody has mentioned, unnecessary headshots. yes, this is a sport where you shoot people, but hitting someone in the head on purpose is just being another level of bellend (I usually apologised for headshots, accident or on purpose), but then complaining about it when it happens to him is the one thing that gets to me. 

my last reason, when he doesn't shoot women. they paid to get shot at, and you have a clear shot, and yet you don't shoot them because they're a girl. sure, its "polite", but again, they paid to get shot at, and it doesn't get you any closer to getting a touch from them. 

i also find the "tactical voice" he does REALLY annoying. that voice that he does when he explains a mission/objective. just talk with your slightly less annoying, normal voice.

He's a sadistic bastard who profits from causing misery and getting a rise by provoking people into a justifiably angry response.

Deliberately making face/headshots when a large part rest of their body is exposed is bad sport.

Emptying a full mag of an auto pistol on a player who has already called their hit then having a go later at another player doing the same to him is hypocrisy of the highest order. He could have taken it on the chin and said "I deserved that" or "That's karma getting me back" but instead he launched a verbal assault as if he had always acted in a virtuous manner.

Singling out people who criticise him and calling on his followers to dox them is scumbaggery and cowardice.

Short of stealing from other players, he could do little more to damage the image of airsoft to the layman. Boasting about the sites he's banned from isn't the flex he thinks it is.
