youtube: would you like to watched a six hour, ‘nuanced and apolitical’ essay about the truth behind gamergate me: what. don’t talk to me. go away. jesus

i have enjoyed some of his videos before but 'gamergate had some valid points underneath it all' is where i draw the line. i was there. it was post-hoc from day one. this is weaponising the appearance of nuance to legitimise a hate campaign. no idea why he'd do this but i find it awful

Basically all of his videos on gaming culture end up with the same conclusion of "yeah, sure, the outrage was hijacked by grifters and nazis, but the people had valid reasons for it to start, and don't let yourself be told otherwise". Whether that is true or not... depends on the situation.

not surprised since he already conveyed that view more or less in his gamergate 2 video, which is actually somewhat interesting in the sense that even a guy who thought round 1 was good called out the bullshit on round 2
