I've dropped a couple of channels because I suspected the presenter was a choad. I once unsubed from a movie-review channel because the presenter made a joke about "games journalism".
Another popular channel had (has) amazing content about historical guns. I first got a bad taste in my mouth because he covered some shit from Rhodesia. But I decided to give the benefit of the doubt. I know that collecting Nazi artifacts doesn't imply politics. Then the channel decided to cover "anti-riot" "crowd control" type weapons during the George Floyd Summer protests. Nah, I'm out.
When YouTube recommends a movie/game review channel, more than half the time I check their history they have videos complaining about "woke" or feminist themes. It's a minefield finding good video essayists on that platform who aren't terrible people.
like the channel owners making "anti-woke comments" or the comments in the seciton, i often see anti-woke comments in the comment section by random users.
Way back in the before times I watched Shadiversity when he was just about swords and nerdy fun.
When he fell down the Choad Hole so deep and hard, I dropped him like a hot branding iron. I'm so happy to see his channel floundering and failing and his constant, pathetic attempts to make himself seem like a victim for it. I will treat myself to a cupcake when his channel finally goes under.
FW has sooo many Rhodesia gun videos, it's such a clear red flag
I disagree that covering Rhodesian arms is a red flag. Rhodesia gets sucked off by a lot of terrible people, but their arms are legitimately interesting because they are different and because they have influenced a lot of modern conflicts.
I also agree that FW is very sus. He famously had a falling out with InRange TV over whether 2A rights should extend to people of all identities or not. If he isn't a bigot, he is at least a coward.
Ah, so that is why they fell out. I've been curious about that for a long time.
I've been on the fence about FW for quite a while otherwise as well. On one hand I like the format (before the self-promotion took over to this degree), on the other hand certain things were a bit suspect. Larry Vickers as a guest, anyone?
I don't get overtly bigot-vibes from him either though, so perhaps you're correct and he's just out to get his and that's that? It would be interesting to know.
