Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Not exactly the question, but there's no way I can enjoy Internet Historian now that we know he's a Nazi.

[–] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit. He's a Nazi? Fuuuuck. I thought he was just a plagiarizer.

Unfortunately not:

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah. Sorry for the reddit link but that's where a lot of the info is aggregated.

Wow. Someone over there is defending him being a fan of the Proud Boys guy because he claims the Proud Boys aren't a terrorist group (despite having been declared as such).

He says they're "very extreme right at worst", as if there's some sort of sliding scale on the right wing that eventually gets to "extreme right", "very extreme right", "terrorist organization" just naturally...and he isn't aware they crossed the line years ago.

As if 'very extreme right' (not a thing, they're nazis. The word is nazis) isn't like. Bad. Like apparently that's a respectable position for the simple idea that it is on a 'scale'?

And yes, fully agree. Even if there was a 'scale' (this is debateable) they crossed that line waaaaaaay long ago. Like 2016, maybe even before.

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Oh wow did not know this. What a d*ckbag

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I’ve never heard of this guy until reading your comment, and I’m glad I never consumed any of his content.

[–] casmael@startrek.website 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh man I thought this guy was a bit sus but no fucking clue he was a literal fucking nazi wtf ☹️

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lots of evidence a d clues that were missed or given the benefit of the doubt. But yeah, it's bad.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anything in particular? I'm really curious now.

[–] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I've got it linked elsewhere in the comments.

Anyone else I can watch instead?

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This sucks. I really liked his content.

[–] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm right there with ya, bud.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago
