Watched some random video of his a couple years ago and my went bonkers, glad to know it's calibrated well. I think what set me off wasn't even anything explicit but some kind of chanbrain phrasing/shibboleth that immediately made me uneasy. Good riddance another kkkrakkker down.

EVERY internet personality is a nazi until proven otherwise. Youtube is CHUD Hollywood

Yeah? Dude was obviously a 4chan chud, just look at his old videos.

He was pretty openly alt-right adjacent earlier on. A friend of mine who eventually stopped talking to me because I asked him to cool it with the fash rhetoric recommended him to me, lol

Yeah he's 100% 4chan brained. He did do a little housecleaning for the sponsors though!

Oh you didn't know? I knew immediately after watching his breakdown of that thing Shia Lebeouf did after Trump got elected.

this was so unsurprising, i knew this immediately after the bike lock fugitive video that justified the guy's doxxing because "lol he looks like soyboy cuck leftie beta nu male!"

A shit ton of whites are Nazis. You just have to say the right thing about white people to get them to show themselves

anglo accent + le classy affect is a dead giveaway

I mean I watched one of his videos once and immediately could tell that.

There are so many of these "barely hiding their fash levels" YouTube commentary accounts. EmpLemon, Oki, Turkey Tom. Those are just off the top of my head.

Tucker Carlson watch parties

I honestly got pretty excited when he uploaded that Man in Cave video. I thought he was going to leave making videos about 4chan raids behind and talk about real history

then this motherfucker came along last week and threw all that in the trash

I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.

Pretty much yeah. I enjoyed a number of his videos since it was sort of nostalgic to relive Kony 2012, fyre festival, leroy jenkins, some of that pre-gamergate 4chan stuff, but yeah I pegged him as a 4chan nazi immediately just based on what he chose to cover. idubbbz, joji, tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt - that's really the way to do it. Recognize you were wrong but also young, and move forward.

You forgot the most damning fact

I really enjoyed his Man in Cave video, so I took a look at the other videos on his channel. Clocked him as fash within seconds, and asked Youtube to not recommend his channel again. What a shame.

For the record, The Story of Tetris was made by Gaming Historian, not Internet Historian, so that video is unscathed

Unsurprised. My first encounter with Internet Historian was a recommendation by a Nazi I knew. To be clear, I knew them and then they became a Nazi (and trans, go figure), not that I knew them because they were a Nazi.

If you call yourself an 'internet historian' there's no way you're not a massive fucking loser.

Remember seeing his Tumblr vid on recommended and could tell from the thumbnail that the guy was probably part of the alt-right.

Oh wow, I remembered seeing those Tucker Carlson comments like years ago, didn't realize that they since deleted those comments and it wasn't public knowledge or something. That being said I only found those comments because they were immediately clockable as a fash from their content/thumbnails and googled them to see if they said any explicit non-dogwhistle shit publicly

like I'm surprised people are surprised? Their entire channel from the get go absolutely reeked of 4chan, their biggest hit videos outside of gamer content was "eww, tumblr queers" and "eww, furries"

reddit admins appear to have hidden the post. mods said they weren't removing it but the post is gone from the sub anyway.

is it possible to be a pop-history youtuber and not be a reactionary?

That much was obvious. I've heard that Wendigoon is also pretty fashy which is a lot more disappointing for me.

I knew it from minute one of watching one of their videos. Fuck it feels so good to be this good at making snap judgments.

Just so I can say I called it in a few years: I am 100% sure Value Select is a Nazi too. Something about him just strikes me as fashy.

I didn't pick up on the dog whistles throughout my time watching his content, but I'm not exactly the target audience for them. I also have a habit of not watching videos, just listening to them.

I stopped watching his content when he platformed JonTron. Out of his associated group of creators, I only follow OrdinaryThings and Fredrick Knudsen.
