Member Thunderf00t? Had to un-sub after he went full misogyny during gamergate, and I've popped in since it's not gotten any better it's still him doing the same shtick hasn't evolved even a little... Usually about Elon Musk, which sounds like it would be good content, but not when you exposed your biases and don't change anything.

Yeah, I liked Thunderf00t for a short time... and then when gamergate hit I felt ashamed that I'd mentioned watching his videos and hoped that no one remembered. I haven't checked back in recent years though.

Yeah, that was an interesting time for online discourse lol, basically peak Anti-SJW.

A whole conversation could be had around how all of that went down

I still go back occasionally to Shaun's classic vids dismantling the sheer stupidity on display.
