TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler’s b’day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.

Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I’ll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc’ing the channel now.

Whew. I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.

Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its “wat about hummus tho” and both-siding it till you’ve purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.

Can you tell I’m disappointed and still bitter?

    Pretty much yeah. I enjoyed a number of his videos since it was sort of nostalgic to relive Kony 2012, fyre festival, leroy jenkins, some of that pre-gamergate 4chan stuff, but yeah I pegged him as a 4chan nazi immediately just based on what he chose to cover. idubbbz, joji, tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt - that’s really the way to do it. Recognize you were wrong but also young, and move forward.

    Watched some random video of his a couple years ago and my hitler-detector went bonkers, glad to know it’s calibrated well. I think what set me off wasn’t even anything explicit but some kind of chanbrain phrasing/shibboleth that immediately made me uneasy. Good riddance another kkkrakkker down.

      I’ve just seen a few vids here and there that YT recc’ed so I never caught any dogwhistles. Hope other internet animation comedians don’t turn out to be bad (Jaiden, Casually Explained - I watch those two a lot).

            I can’t tell if this is a legitimate concern, but with this being so long ago, it feels to me that this would have been during the period where boyinaband was was doing some of their prolific colaborating, before all the context and drama came out, and from what I can see Jaiden’s colab video only exists in reuploads (why do people do this)

            I wouldn’t hold it against them personally, boyinaband is also a decade older than Jaiden which makes it feel even slimier imo

            I feel pretty similarly about Jaiden going to pewdipie’s wedding or whatever

            i’m really tapped out of youtube drama now though so I might be missing a lot of context

            When did he get married? There was a period before he said the n-word on stream where he was basically just some children’s gaming youtuber, just a guy, there wasn’t really much of a reason to hate him if you didn’t have some insight that 99% of people didn’t

    this was so unsurprising, i knew this immediately after the bike lock fugitive video that justified the guy’s doxxing because “lol he looks like soyboy cuck leftie beta nu male!”
