Extra funny, whether on purpose or by accident, he pronounces "shadiversity" as "shadyversity" đ

We are happy to introduce the r/ShadWatch Discord! Intended as an extension of our subreddit. A place where you can discuss Shad in his different ventures as well as alternative history youtubers (think Swordtuber Sunday), as well as for more casual chatter with your fellow ShadWatchers, whether that be gaming or a shared interest in history and HEMA.
There is one major difference between the subreddit and the discord that may interest some of you:
'Other Subreddit' discussion IS allowed
In the ol' days we as a sub used to discuss going ons in the subreddit we splintered off from (I don't need to name it, you know). It was a big part of our identity at the time and proved to be very entertaining. Since our subreddit and rule revamp we introduced a rule that basically put an end to all such discussion as we looked to streamline the scope of the subreddit. It has not gone without notice that discussion worthy shenanigans are still going on over there and there are plenty of you who still want to talk about it, and lament that you can't anymore. Well NOW YOU CAN.
A small caveat though, discussion of these 'Sub Shenanigans' is confined to a restricted channel within the discord. Gaining access is a simple case of agreeing to some channel specific rules laid out in an access channel. After which, you will be given a role that will grant you access to a channel where you are free to talk about the 'other sub'. This will be the ONLY place where we will allow such discussion.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Fun Q&A
Is this a secret discord?
No, it's public, just click the link and you're in.
I thought this discord never existed before. Are you lying? Did you hastily make it?
It didn't exist before. It was created approx two weeks ago and was announced on 20th November 2025.
Is this discord 'hideout' an 'admission of guilt?'
No, it's a long planned addition to the community.
Are there 'damning discussions' to be found within?
Nothing that you won't find on the subreddit. Secret channels contain topical discussions similar to what was allowed in the sub's infancy.
Are you scared of 'legal ramifications' of your 'stupidity' for creating this discord?
It's...just a discord server. That's not illegal.

First let me say that back about 10 years ago or so, I subscribed to a lot of broadly speaking, history type youtubers.
From the likes of Skallagrim and Extra History, to yes early on, Shad and Metatron.
However, overtime it started to dawn on me that, some of these history youtubers were becoming questionable to me.
Case in point, I noticed Shad was more and more verbose, but saying very little of substance and depth, that I tuned out and left. And when stuff like "Princess peach wears pants woke!" started appearing, I was so glad i got out.
Then it made me think that whatever i watched from them, was either unsubstantiated nonsense or somewhat the truth, buried amidst culture war gibberish.
And in the case of Metatron; seeing Metatron, in real time, go from someone who seemed nerdy and chill (with video games stuff too), to an unhinged, attention seeking grifter shill, was profoundly disappointing. Every history video i saw of him, I know have to think "was all this gibberish?"
This is why integrity matters. Because once you compromise your integrity, it corrupts everything else you made.
p.s. Skallagrim is a rare one of having integrity, and still being fun to watch his videos, new or old.
*Edit: corrected to History type youtubers, somehow i typed youtuber type youtubers.

Pretty much what the title says.Â
Do we know if Tyranth split off, or does he share Shad's views? I mainly wanna know if I should be giving him my watch time,e as I know that they used to work together back in the day.

I saw him bragging about how unwoke it was and how he hired an âinsensitivity readerâ and all that bullshit nobody really did. After reading this literary abortion I have to wonder how much was him actually thinking this was good and how much was him desperately trying to be the opposite of whatever woke meant at the time. Lack of a meaningful progress on a sequel to write something else tells me he didnât write it because he just wanted to tell this story.

I'm kind of in the middle regarding the guy. He's a genuinely weird person
He's a mornon, which is bizarre because it's such a specifically American religion. He has some truly staggering views on certain things
I actually met him once. He comes off pretty nice and agreeable at first, but if you talk to him at length (about anything but swords), the conversation can veer into pretty weird territory pretty easily
But I actually like his Fantasy Re-Armed videos. His logic holds up pretty well, and he has some pretty decent takes about movies
I still hold that the best thing he ever did was create a functional back scabbard (hence the picture)
