I do remember everything that happend, thatistheplan was a vlog channel for Fantano and the reactionary stuff started firmly with Fantano butting into the Sarkeesian conversation with an entry to theneedledrop written blog where he claimed that, while he was no gamer, gamers were right to chide Sarkeesian since she didn't have experience with games. From there the thatistheplan channel just kinda sinked into a weird hole where he took aim at occupy protesters and socialists with a #ResistCapitalism character, started cozying up with the rational youtubers and everything eventually culminated with him featuring Sam Hyde on the main needledrop channel, Sam Hyde was a well-known fascist by then and his upcoming Adult Swim show was riling people the hell up. If it was a joke, it wasn't obvious because he even started getting video responses addressing his anti-communist stuff.

At the end, I assumed he SLAPPed the fader since his claim that the entire channel was irony was hard to contend against in court and history got rewritten. There was indeed a lot of stuff in thatistheplan that was obviously not made in earnest. The Hopsin Rules stuff is Fantano scoffing at Hopsin, but he pretty much was in-line with what most of /mu/ felt like at the time. If you knew you knew.

I mean at the end of the day it doesn't matter, it has no bearing on his reviews, but it does weird me out that Fantano wished to fix the record by arguing that it was a "mixup" or whatever, a significant departure from first claiming that the amazing atheist wasn't "alt-right". Why not just argue that he was a bit of an anti-feminist and has since changed his outlook?
