Phil needs an editor more than any youtuber but there's some really sobering stuff here.

    Did this guy stop being a right winger or something? I remember him being a part of my youtube alt-right spiral as a middle schooler.

    Edit: No he didn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqMm0U-ZKog

    Edit 2: Apparently the video is anti-brexit, which is a huge shocker to me considering this guy used to make "feminist owned" videos all the time

      I'm assuming I missed something.. How is deriding Brexit as a total failure and Farage as a grifter, alt-right?

        I didn't watch the video, this guy was pro brexit just a few years ago.

        This is one of his most popular videos, he used to be right alongside people like Sargon

          Yeah, thunderf00t was part of the "new athiest" bandwagon that morphed into gamergate. Just like he may have made a decent video or two criticizing right wing Christian fundamentalism, it doesn't wash away the countless "removed" gamergate videos where he went full frothingfash himself. Unless he put out something where he explicitly denounced and apologized for his years of misogyny, racism, and overt chuddery, I would never consider him someone worth paying any attention to.

      His science stuff is solid, he seems to understand that capitalism doomed us. He's far from perfect but his hatred for melon is funny to me. Unfortunately his "Why people laugh at creationists" series was my first introduction to YouTube and despite clearing it he'll never stop popping up.
