Btw, Shad is unfortunately a closeted alt-right nutcase, just not on his main channel. I used to watch his vids until I learned that and now I feel gross about him. At least I still have Skallagrim. Shad does have another channel where he shows his true colors, but I don’t remember the name off hand.
Closeted? Nah, he’s loud and proud about his bullshit. Fuck that guy. I hope his multi hour rants about the “woke mind virus ” finishes obliterating his already dog shit reputation.
I knew he was a nut job but I didnt realize he went full on sargon, fuck and he had decent content back in the day.
He is close with Sargon. When YouTube rightfully banned Sargon, Shad made a video about it calling the banning unjust.
It was shortly after than I unsuited and blocked his channel.
His content want very good anyway. Extreamly opinionated and usually wrong and his book sucks.
Really makes you wonder how him and Jazza came from the same household
Some folks don’t make their right/left political allegiance into the entire foundation of their personal identity, and so are able to coexist with others who disagree with them.
I draw the line where one political side wants me to go back to the fucking kitchen and eliminate anyone who’s not straight and cisgender because of their violent imaginary friend
Is Shad one of those people? I’ve only been following his Shadiversity channel and there’s certainly no sign of that in there.
Gotta say it’s hard not to get bad vibes from Jazza just because of that fact. He hasn’t said anything about his shit bag brothers shit bag opinions, which make me deeply suspicious he’s just as much a shit bag but knows where his bread is buttered.
Disowning your siblings for different political opinions only serves to remove a positive influence from their life. No good would come from Jazza publicly dunking on his brother’s beliefs.
Hard disagree. Jazza cultivates an inclusive image for his brand, one that seems increasingly at odds with the branding of his brother’s obvious descent into alt right pandering. When people learn about the two being brothers there is almost ALWAYS a “wait how tf are those two related” moment. Plenty of family members publicly denounce their siblings when they start the descent into shitdom. As Shad gets shittier it’s harder for me - and I know I’m not alone - to not see Jazza as rainbow-washing, virtue signaling, guilty by association unless he demonstrates otherwise.
I don’t see how you disagreed with anything I said. What good would it do (aside from you enjoying the man’s content more) for Jazza to disown his brother, rather than continue to be in his life and try to be a positive influence? Would Shad become a better person because of it? Of course not.
“Plenty of family members publicly denounce their siblings when they start the descent into shitdom.” Is that good? Does it make the world a better place? Or does it only serve to improve how much you enjoy consuming their content?
“Guilty by association?” Guilty of what? This toxic mindset of suggesting that people need to cut all contact with the ones they love because of differing political opinions doesn’t help anyone. I would bet my life that not one single, solitary, individual alt-right shithead has ever changed his ways because his siblings publicly decried him. All that does is push people further into their echo chambers.
On the contrary, embracing the awful people in the world leads to positive change within them. The only reason you might think it’s good to disown bad people is if you think they don’t deserve to become better, and the world is somehow better off if they remain bad.
I don’t understand what you don’t get about what I’m saying. His brand and his business and his audience is at risk because his feel good inclusive brand is negatively impacted by his shit bag brothers multi hour diatribes against the woke mind virus. It will come around to bite him eventually. Clearly distancing himself from those views would be a good thing for him and his business and his community, to say nothing about the tens of thousands (or more) audience members that are look up to him and are constantly being attacked by Shads bullshit. Speaking out against his brothers toxic shit would be good and right.
And yes, calling out your toxic family members — especially before they are YT algorithmed down the far right pipeline - DOES make the world a better place. Who else is going to have that kind of impact?
Yea thats a shame but honestly i just learned to sepreate the art from the artist, the content is good, plus i use newpipe so i dont really support him finantially
I too enjoy disregarding bad things! Woke liberals hate this one simple trick- just ignore anything immoral!
Why are you subscribed to a community that’s running on Lemmy, which is written by Tankies? Just ignoring that part, I guess?
