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.
I was a teenager when he made the turn and started “owning” feminism. I sat there thinking that all his criticisms where not only adressed by femenist writers 40 years ago, but often even integral parts of some strains of femisms, and i had just begun reading entry level stuff on the subject. That’s when i learned what a unintellectual dunkhead he really was.
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.

First 300 Elon videos were a banger, after the 1000th it got kinda boring /s

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.
