Shoe is a weird one. Her whole anti-sjw phase was years ago, and I'm pretty sure quite a few people on here had those, too. She grew out of it I suppose lol.
Nowadays she's pretty much Bernie levels of left, but she's really online-poisoned. Often feels like politics for her (and many others) is about being against what the other side is doing rather than having any actual goals. Her videos have the same tone they always had, except instead of cynically cracking jokes about sjws and political correctness, it's about capitalist america ("hellworld") and anti-sjws.
She's also great buddies with V**sh and when you look at her replies, she still has a conservative following (although it's definitely outnumbered by left-leaning libs).
My impression is that she has the right idea about what's wrong with society (escalating wealth inequality, systemic oppression etc) but she like... doesn't really care too much whether or not something is done about it? She seems content tweeting and making videos.
So like, she's definitely not "good" now, but no doubt it's great to have someone with her platform (and her audience) spout vaguely left-wing, anti-capitalist ideas. Lots of left-wing youtubers are overly wordy and thorough, so someone whose videos are just like "man, aren't these capitalists cringe? lmao jeff bezos will be a trillionaire we live in hell lmaooooo" are good to reach the apolitical gamer crowd.
I mean, the people on her probably didn't make a living from spreading the bigotry of their anti-sjw phase and then danced around that elephant in the room for years to come while still having a ton of shady fucking takes.
