    He has a large trans fan base and is a staunch advocate for trans rights in spite of looking the part of a meathead. He’s pretty respectful about disagreements that aren’t disgusting in nature (racism, homophibia, etc). I think you probably just have a clipped caracature in your mind that likely doesn’t match well with reality.

      I don’t care what other things he’s doing that might be good. Other people are also doing good things while not doing the bad things. The image of him I have in my mind was formed by just watching his videos and seeing the way he behaves. I’m tired of his fans coming around to talk the same boring meaningless shit and gaslight me every time I say anything bad about their golden boy. I’m going to just start blocking you all on sight.

        What same boring meaningless shit?

        Genocide? Electing Dem Socialists? Pulling the Overton back to the left? Holding our reps accountable?

        What same boring meaningless shit are we talking about here?

        Considering that the first of your two complaints was entirely incorrect, it sounds like your entire complaint is that he yells at Twitch chat a lot. You’re completely within your rights to dislike him for that, but it seems pretty petty compared to the anti-genocide activism that is the subject of this post.
