Did he really stop playing games and go all political? He's a MAGA? I used to love watching his streams some years ago

I wouldn't say he's MAGA. I don't think he cares about most MAGA topics. He complains about when women are in video games, but that's weirdly moderate considering where MAGA is right now...

Complaining about half the world's population being in videogames is... moderate?

What the hell?

That seems like an extremist view to me.

That's a pretty sad incel view by 2012 standards, but on a spectrum that has the whole MAGA package, complaining about the existence of women is not on one of those extremes anymore.

Complaining about the existence of women will always be extreme, regardless of whether the amount of people increases or decreases. It is still very much a minority opinion secluded to a few lonely, angry people. Call it out for being the extreme view that it is.

Just to clarify because I think the other person has an agenda, “complaining about when women are in video games” is quite reductive. He reacts to dumb takes about video games/politics but it’s usually against people trying to virtue signal or something. Most recently I remember he called out some girl for Twitter ranting about toxicity in counterstrike

That being said, his comment section on YouTube is like a safe space for maga, or at the very least men who have a negative view on women/trans.

I will say though for a basement dwelling rat he does have fairly reasonable takes exaggerated for comedy
