    Dude basically turned his entire stream into a safe haven for white grievance and alt right echo chamber ever since he streamed the Johnny Depp trial

    asmon really should avoid politics. he's too passionate about everything to phrase horrible shit in palatable ways, unlike western media. he didnt say anything that isnt said daily on fox, cnn, etc. i do think he has mostly fantastic gaming takes and i'd like to get back to watching him cover gaming.

    i will give him credit though, his apology tweet is exactly what i want to see from an apology. "i fucked up, i'll do better".

    election years bring out the worst in everyone and he's pretty susceptible to that sort of thing. there's a lot worse things to be than a misguided texas libertarian.

    but still, get your shit together zack. his 3m+ follower echo chamber absolutely will not hold him accountable. his chat hasnt always been 100% out of control chuds but yeah, election year.

    Its been going on longer than just election years, he pretty much started falling into the rabbit hole ever since he streamed the Amber Heard trial that attracted all the masochistic incels that started flooding his stream with right winged propaganda and now his stream and subreddit is basically indistinguishable from r/The_Donald was. And him thinking he's smarter than everyone else on top of being a sociopath with little to no empathy just made the echo chamber worse.

    he's a chud and his chat and subreddit are maybe some of the very worst on the non-"hidden" parts of the internet. his chat has been awful for years and years now and chats are always, and I mean always, a reflection of the streamer.

    yeah. this is a perfectly good apology video and the comments are completely unhinged. we'll see where this goes (probably right back to where it was). but i do think he's a smart enough guy that one good night of doing shrooms could put him on the right path.

    that being said, what he needs the most is to unironically touch grass.

    "the palestine thing" is horrendous phrasing

    relative to what he was saying two days ago it's a big improvement.

    it's more likely that is his true self than thinking he has changed just to save face in an "apology"

    yeah probably. but making predictions on the future is pointless. either he makes some changes or he doesn't. i'll continue to adjust my stance as time goes on.

    It’s a good example of how modern algorithms turn young men into extreme right wingers. It’s why Donald Trump is extremely popular with this demographic

    WoW players especially. Roger Stone literally singled that game out as a haven for future right-wing men that they should be targeting and turning when he was discussing how to go about getting young GOP voters. there's something about MMOs that attracts chuds and pre-chuds. I've played a lot of WoW and it's unquestionably true, especially when you get on private servers, it just gets crazy how many shit people are out there. and this doesn't happen in other major gaming communities nearly as much. MOBAs and FPS games aren't chud central but MMOs for some reason are.

    Idk about Wow and mmos but of course the fps and MOBA communities are toxic shitholes. Chat/content moderation is different from game to game but I can’t go three matches in Rainbow without someone’s name being a play on the n word.

    Gamers skew right. It’s possible to be well adjusted (just look at me!) but the environment of an inherently isolating behavior creates a perfect chud petri dish. There are forms of social connection (playing with irl friends) but they’re fleeting or just reinforcing the chuddiness in an echo chamber.

    Once you get outside of the casual gamer who sticks with the rotation of Madden, CoD, NBA2K, and GTA,

    I think you’d find gaming trends hard left, especially once you move into the Nintendo and single player game categories. The GDQ series would be a perfect sample size of that

    yea, he already wore out his welcome, especially after defaming the comfort women memorial. it's gone so far that right now K-netizens are crowdfunding attorney fees for anyone who'll go beat his ass. Johnny is rapidly learning Korea isn't Japan and provoking a population where half of the adult population have received two years of military combat training is a really bad idea.

    Dan has always seemed off to me, there was just something about him where I've always been just waiting for the other shoe to drop. there's a skeleton in that closet that will get him fired at best or put on a list at worst, I guarantee you.

    On top of the 10 years he's already facing on drug charges, he's looking at 17 years in prison at minimum (South Koreans are literally comb brushing their entire law book to add more charges to him)
