He can definitely speak with a lot of vitriol :/ It’s why I stopped watching his videos. I’m glad he’s pushing for right-to-repair stuff, but I just couldn’t handle the anger and negativity.
I wouldn’t expect him to lol. Every time I watch one of his videos, I’m reminded of one of The Onion News Network’s greatest creations: The Autistic Reporter.
Note: Whether Rossman is on the spectrum (I assume so) I’m not throwing shade at all. He’s a powerhouse.

According to one of his other videos, he took an internet autism test and it determined based on his answers that he was probably autistic. No idea if he was properly diagnosed by a doctor though.
It was pretty much just an online quiz in a livestream he did fairly recently, I think.
Iirc it was something along the line of ‘I have friends on the spectrum, and I’m not unlike them’, and that online quiz coming to a similar result. I don’t think he’s been officially diagnosed, he just has a fairly high margin of similarity.
It was a couple of years ago, just after he had hooked up with a gf, and he was doing weird AMA videos while wearing a smoking jacket. The general gist of the rant was his political beliefs on racism, wokeism, and ‘there are only two sexes’, it wasn’t a full on hate-speech-apoluza, and probably not enough of a red flag for him to continue gaining in popularity.
For me, it coming a little while after Cody going a bit too RWNJ after Kanyon left him, it was enough for me to nope-out of his channel, but I have a very slim tolerance of youtube celebs anyway, I find most of them unbearable.
edit: given the ‘My Girlfriend owns a macbook, F my life’ video that was posted a week or two after his rants, I’m going to say it must have been 2019.
What bothers me is the stereotyping reddit mods as pear shaped basement dwellers that cling to pretend power and go through DTs if they don’t have their mod authority for three days.
I am on a… .LOT of shit lists with staff on many locations for legitimate and non reasons. To the point you’d expect me to be agreeing with the assessment, but nope. Those are volunteers that make the network go 'round.
It’s the FIDO admin clusterfuck yet again. 'Shit talk the guy while he’s there. Guy steps back for mental wellness reasons. sudden outpouring of ‘you made everything work! You were the greatest!’ etc etc.
Typical Rossman to think anything but the platform shutting down (before 3pas actually stop working even) is a failure.

Pretty much where I’m at. I appreciate him for all he’s done, but his recent content is so bleak and hopeless. Can’t handle it.
I think reality is a bit bleak and hopeless now, at least for Rossmann and his causes. He doesn’t seem like the sugarcoating type.

That connection will live forever in my head now lol, also how do I get to live in prison?
I think he hinted in some recent reddit video that he’s somewhere on the spectrum, or he thinks so.

But is the train okay?
I stopped when he went on a transphobic rant about 3 years ago.
Yikes, I wasn’t aware of that. I’m already avoiding his videos, but I’ll probably completely hide his channel on Youtube.
EDIT: Do you have a link for that video? I’m searching for it, but trying to find it without clicking on Reddit links is a pain :(

What did Cody ever say/do to give you “right wing nut job” vibes? He basically just started homesteading and pretending he’s on Mars.
That’s the same reason I switched to cinema wins from cinema sins. They went from good natured driving to the next best thing to pure vitriol.

Of course I can’t speak for him but I think he’d rather Reddit change course.
