Alyssa Mercante: A History of Being Horrible
On March 18, 2025, YouTube creator Nobody (@NobodyHasSpoken) released an 11-minute video titled "Alyssa Mercante: A History of Being Horrible," which analyzes the work and persona of writer Alyssa Mercante. Initially, Nobody aimed to find a humanizing article about her but ultimately concluded that she has been “a garbage person since 2011” after reviewing her writings.
The video, uploaded to YouTube, combines sarcasm and frustration as Nobody critiques several of Mercante’s articles. He covers her poorly executed piece on marijuana legalization and her self-victimizing take on customer service as a “young blonde woman.”
The focal point of the critique is Mercante’s 2011 article, "My Inner Face Monster Revealed," in which she describes dressing as Lady Gaga for a concert—complete with caution tape and Coca-Cola cans in her hair—and the attention it garnered her. Nobody argues that this reveals her attention-seeking behavior, a theme he ties to her other works, including her harsh statement that “twi-hards need to die hard.”

Nobody Skewers Alyssa Mercante’s Dissertation in Scathing Video Critique
On March 27th, 2025, Nobody dropped an 11-minute bombshell titled "Former Kotaku Writer's DISGUSTING Dissertation! | Alyssa Mercante", tearing into Alyssa Mercante’s publicly available dissertation. Targeting her analysis of the indie game Sabbat—a text-based oddity about mutilating body parts and morphing into hybrid monsters to topple capitalism—Nobody spares no sarcasm. After enduring the dissertation three times, they mock Mercante’s obsession with its queer punk and Gothic horror themes, spotlighting bizarre moments like choosing genitals only to fuse them with goat or wolf traits.
Nobody reads excerpts from the dissertation, including a scene featuring a witch encounter meant to challenge traditional norms, and questions whether such a game truly carries significant revolutionary weight. The video critiques Mercante’s frequent use of academic terms like "heteronormativity" and her reliance on literary references, suggesting that it feels overly analyzed. Presented with sarcasm and incredulity, Nobody frames the dissertation as an unusual academic exercise, inviting viewers to check it out via a link in the description and form their own opinions.
