(dunk tank for the alt-right youtuber, not the OP who collected the information and posted it)

TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler’s b’day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.

Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I’ll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc’ing the channel now.

Whew. 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.

Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its “wat about hummus tho” and both-siding it till you’ve purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.

Can you tell I’m disappointed and still bitter?

    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.

        yeah I was just naming people who I associate with edgy humor and “shock humor” who have drastically changed their images. Those 4 were the first 4 who came to mind

            tbh I don’t know that much about him past his edgy era. I know he has apologized for some stuff though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t change his opinions on things behind the scenes given how his music and image has changed over the years, but maybe not? I don’t think earl has explicitly apologized for anything either outside of offhand suggestions that he regrets certain things, but it’s pretty clear his opinions have made a complete 180 since EARL.

              Okay but Tyler The Creator isn’t a nazi, he was a total dick. Those are different things. He isn’t a white supremacist just because he was a misogynist or because he made fun of people with mental health problems.
