    Btw, Shad is unfortunately a closeted alt-right nutcase, just not on his main channel. I used to watch his vids until I learned that and now I feel gross about him. At least I still have Skallagrim. Shad does have another channel where he shows his true colors, but I don’t remember the name off hand.

          Thank you. Watching just a small subset of the channel, I’m not seeing alt-right stuff. He’s certainly not liberal, but “alt-right” doesn’t jump out at me. What am I perhaps missing? I’ve watched a bit (but not all) of the Mario review and the way of water for context. Do you have a specific idea he brings up frequently, or a specific example of something that was alt-right?

          Edit: to clarify, he does talk about “appeasing the woke” and things like that, but I don’t think anyone who talks about people being too “woke” are alt-right.

            It got more questionable the further I scrolled. /shurg Perhaps it’s just marketing (thumbnails decrying feminism/diversity/etc) but bare minimum he gives off vibes like he’s trying to cater to a far-right crowd.

        Gotta say it’s hard not to get bad vibes from Jazza just because of that fact. He hasn’t said anything about his shit bag brothers shit bag opinions, which make me deeply suspicious he’s just as much a shit bag but knows where his bread is buttered.

      Closeted? Nah, he’s loud and proud about his bullshit. Fuck that guy. I hope his multi hour rants about the “woke mind virus ” finishes obliterating his already dog shit reputation.

      When will you stop calling anything not in the left “alt-right”?

      Americans are so stupid

        “Right” is “capitalism is a good economic system” (degree of acknowledgement of current problems variable), and “traditional values have value, so care and caution should be taken before change is made.” IE, the modus operandi of most (American) parties that brand themselves as left wing. :P It shouldn’t be fucking screaming about things being “woke” or too feminine or too diverse. As soon as it’s about hate, instead of policy, it’s alt-right. The problem is that nowadays, that’s all there seems to be.

        I’m not terribly keen on watching any of the vids on his second channel; maybe the titles and thumbnails are just click bait and the actual content is more level-headed, but I’ve got better things to do. /shurg

          I’ve honestly just watched the content of his 1st channel, I had no idea he had another one.

          TIL that some smart asses think of him as “alt-right”

          I’m kinda tired of american “democrats” labeling anything they don’t like as literal nazis.

          That’s getting old
