I need to think on this.

    Ooh, probably all the gun youtubers, whomst are varying levels of problematic. From most to least I watch Garand thumb, who I clock as a legit chud, demolition ranch and his buddies tend to be more liberal of the chuds, mostly staying away from bs unless its a shitty gag, and Brandon Herrera is the cool AK guy who is deffo not a liberal or lefty but tries to keep whatever he thinks on the dl. He had a super cringe dude on recently though and they did cringe nazi german bits while they shot german ww2 guns, which in a vacuum is kinda neat history wise but goddamn. Then of course theres gun Jesus, who may or may not suck depending on what hes talking about and his buddy Inrange who from what I understand may be a leftist of some ilk.

    It's just a case of that therapist meme: I just like to watch dudes blow shit up with weapons of war, and who doesn't

      The Inrange folks including gun Jesus seem to legitimately hate police officers and support community defense and such. Which is based lol

        While true, Ian has made a few videos that are a bit iffy, including several that are about and maybe edge on the line of lionization of Rhodesia, worst was the one recently before the war broke out, I bet he's kicking himself because he was trying to push a biographical account of the Donbass war from the PoV of some Azov pig literally a month or so before the war in Ukraine broke out. Only after people kicked up a storm did he walk it back, but I dunno, I respect his intelligence a little too much to think he wouldn't know whats up with Azov.

        I got no particular qualms with Inrange, he seems on the up and up

          I just watch my Gun Jesus videos and try not to think about his politics, because yeah, he's way too fucking smart to profile an Azov guy without knowing what Azov is about. He has exactly the background in history to understand what Azov is and where it came from.

        I thought they were doing so from more of a libertarian angle, but yeah not the worst place to be

          Some libertarians are like half way to getting it, they just can't grasp that no one else cares about their NAP bullshit and you do, in fact, need coercive violence to get anything done in this world.

      Check out Tacticool Girlfriend for, as far as I am aware, an entirely unproblematic guntoober.

      Garand Thumb is absolutely in the cadre of Epic Operator media climbers, without a doubt. Brandon is easily the most 4Chan of the big guntubers. His build videos are at least filled with content that lets me ignore the stupid comments he makes, but I avoid his meme review videos.
