Bizarrely enough they made a video about wizard game a month or so ago talking about how buying it is supporting Queen Terf yet they then go and spit this shit out.

    Why...do this? Like some people eat the homophobic chicken, some of those people are gay people, capitalism bad, Chick-fil-A more bad than just capitalism bad, no ethical consumption, etc. But like...why do this? Why dick ride truett Cathy's proudly southern Baptist ass restaurant? I'm almost genuinely asking, I don't really want to watch this, but I can't fathom like, what the rationale could possibly be.

        I skipped around the video a bit and he goes in depth about the all the hate groups donated to and what they do, why they are considered hate groups etc so I don't think he's trying to be anti-woke

        I guess, and that's as good as I'm going to do because god, I thought this was just his YouTube show, no, it's a 80 minute fucking podcast.

          I do seriously suspect that the reason an "influencer" might endanger their brand is because of personal stakes in the culture wars, which in this case involves performative anti-wokeism.

              I don't know enough about him to have known that. Even so, some people do have petty personal stakes in culture wars and being not a chud in one front doesn't mean he can't be a chud in another one.

              Maybe he does actually like eating there, felt personally threatened by criticism of that particular consumer product, and took it upon himself to be a righteous guardian of it because he's got Main Character Syndrome and no one is coming between him and his meme sandwich.
