Watched some random video of his a couple years ago and my 
went bonkers, glad to know it's calibrated well. I think what set me off wasn't even anything explicit but some kind of chanbrain phrasing/shibboleth that immediately made me uneasy. Good riddance another kkkrakkker down.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

EVERY internet personality is a nazi until proven otherwise. Youtube is CHUD Hollywood
lmao never thought of it that way but you're right. All the big chud names and burnouts that couldn't make it into Hollywood go to Youtube.
Critical support to Hollywood.

Yeah? Dude was obviously a 4chan chud, just look at his old videos.
Yeah, I mean you can say the exact same thing about Stonetoss. Stonetoss is a nazi and we all know it, but I doubt everybody that shares his comics is aware that he is a nazi. Having a list of evidence to show people is good.
Fair
He was pretty openly alt-right adjacent earlier on. A friend of mine who eventually stopped talking to me because I asked him to cool it with the fash rhetoric recommended him to me, lol
Yeah he's 100% 4chan brained. He did do a little housecleaning for the sponsors though!
Oh you didn't know? I knew immediately after watching his breakdown of that thing Shia Lebeouf did after Trump got elected.
I've just seen a few vids here and there that YT recc'ed so I never caught any dogwhistles. Hope other internet animation comedians don't turn out to be bad (Jaiden, Casually Explained - I watch those two a lot).

this was so unsurprising, i knew this immediately after the bike lock fugitive video that justified the guy's doxxing because "lol he looks like soyboy cuck leftie beta nu male!"
A shit ton of whites are Nazis. You just have to say the right thing about white people to get them to show themselves
If you're white yourself you don't even need to say anything to them. They'll proudly show it off completely unprompted. And my (white) friends wonder why I don't try and make more (white) friends.
anglo accent + le classy affect is a dead giveaway
I mean I watched one of his videos once and immediately could tell that.
There are so many of these "barely hiding their fash levels" YouTube commentary accounts. EmpLemon, Oki, Turkey Tom. Those are just off the top of my head.
There are so many "barely hiding their fash levels" in television too. And newspaper media. Wherever there is media and money they're always around.
Honestly actors are an outlier that the right uses to claim television and movies are "liberal" and that outlier seems to be because they were all weird drama/theatre kids.

Tucker Carlson watch parties
Evil, yes, but also just a very flaccid energy
I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.
Pretty much yeah. I enjoyed a number of his videos since it was sort of nostalgic to relive Kony 2012, fyre festival, leroy jenkins, some of that pre-gamergate 4chan stuff, but yeah I pegged him as a 4chan nazi immediately just based on what he chose to cover. idubbbz, joji, tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt - that's really the way to do it. Recognize you were wrong but also young, and move forward.

I honestly got pretty excited when he uploaded that Man in Cave video. I thought he was going to leave making videos about 4chan raids behind and talk about real history
then this motherfucker came along last week and threw all that in the trash

You forgot the most damning fact
spoiler
Australian
He's from New Zealand actually
I really enjoyed his Man in Cave video, so I took a look at the other videos on his channel. Clocked him as fash within seconds, and asked Youtube to not recommend his channel again. What a shame.
This is very apropos because (if you didn't know) the 4 hour hbomb video the other day had a section on how he stole the man in cave script word for word from an old article about the incident. All he did was, presumably, pay the animator. The only video which isn't some encyclopedia dramatica shit was just stolen from a much more talented writer.
At least you can take solace in the fact that he hardly wrote a word of Man in Cave and the article he stole most of it from lacks the same taint.
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/544782/1925-cave-rescue-that-captivated-the-united-states-floyd-collins this is the article the other 2 comments reference btw which Man in Cave was stolen from
For the record, The Story of Tetris was made by Gaming Historian, not Internet Historian, so that video is unscathed
Unsurprised. My first encounter with Internet Historian was a recommendation by a Nazi I knew. To be clear, I knew them and then they became a Nazi (and trans, go figure), not that I knew them because they were a Nazi.
If you call yourself an 'internet historian' there's no way you're not a massive fucking loser.
he's a loser because he's a nazi, not because he calls himself a historian of the internet.

Remember seeing his Tumblr vid on recommended and could tell from the thumbnail that the guy was probably part of the alt-right.
Oh wow, I remembered seeing those Tucker Carlson comments like years ago, didn't realize that they since deleted those comments and it wasn't public knowledge or something. That being said I only found those comments because they were immediately clockable as a fash from their content/thumbnails and googled them to see if they said any explicit non-dogwhistle shit publicly
like I'm surprised people are surprised? Their entire channel from the get go absolutely reeked of 4chan, their biggest hit videos outside of gamer content was "eww, tumblr queers" and "eww, furries"
reddit admins appear to have hidden the post. mods said they weren't removing it but the post is gone from the sub anyway.
is it possible to be a pop-history youtuber and not be a reactionary?
Historia Civilis is a "Rome guy" and yet their last video is all about how the rise of capitalism stole everybody's free time and quotes several socialists on the topic.

That much was obvious. I've heard that Wendigoon is also pretty fashy which is a lot more disappointing for me.

I didn't pick up on the dog whistles throughout my time watching his content, but I'm not exactly the target audience for them. I also have a habit of not watching videos, just listening to them.
I stopped watching his content when he platformed JonTron. Out of his associated group of creators, I only follow OrdinaryThings and Fredrick Knudsen.

Just so I can say I called it in a few years: I am 100% sure Value Select is a Nazi too. Something about him just strikes me as fashy.
