When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc… some things bug me off. What do you think of it?
He’s certainly unaware that his funny takes form opinions in young people’s minds.
Whatever political stance he may hold, or whether he is conscious about it, he is an entrypoint.
His content is uncritical dogpile reactions and no-fact-checks perpetuating drama. Combined with zero effort community weeding.
While theoretically neutral, such hate cesspools are the culture that fuels the alt-right.
Oh look. Another “if you’re not directly supporting my goals, you’re the political opposition” person.
A vote not for x is a vote for y, amirite?
That’s literally how the alt right works. Spot the right environment where things can gradually escalate from a comment or a private message.
As a Louis Rossmann fan I don’t generally like the slippery slope fallacy, but goddamn are you worried about some nothing. You seriously think dudes watching him do his gamer sleaze bits are gonna be all “yeah I think I’ll be a right winger now.”?
Haven’t watched it, looks like room-temperature IQ reaction content. Which can be really popular, I guess.
The dude’s whole brand is “I’m just a lazy dirty gamer guy”. He’s a spectacle, not a leader.
Honestly don’t think he thinks much about politics
His audience definitely leans that way. I don’t get the impression that he has any agenda or conviction, but he consistently reacts to content that enables the alt-right. He’s been quite candid about getting into the react meta just for the money. Even so, he does seem to have unwittingly become an alt-right entry point.
I once saw him being an utter piece of shit. A Bethesda writer got harassed on Twitter for being a writer on Fallout 4. Long story short, some jackass manchild on Reddit shitposted something utterly wrong and it made sense to other menchildren and they attacked said guy which hurt him a lot. So this assmold guy made fun of him, calling him pathetic and acting like being hurt is something disgusting. And it dragged on forever.
He is a piece of shit. So are his viewers for still watching his stuff.
Don’t know if he is alt right tho. But it doesn’t matter. Shit nonetheless.
