"Yo dawg conservatives were mean to me about my electric car back in the day, so now I can wilfully ignore that a nazi fucker made my current car. Both Sides!!!"
Used to be an interesting youtuber, but he's gotten more apathetic and nasty over the years. Done with this "I'm alright jack!" self centred entitled cuntery.

There was something about 8bitguy that set off warnings in my head for years. He had a few cunty moments and weird takes, but nothing I could point directly at and say “oooh, you’re one of those.”
Last time I had that feeling about someone? Elon Musk plugging a much younger Tesla.
Which makes me think his choice of a Tesla was deliberate. He has plenty of better EV options he can afford to get but he deliberately chose an inferior car that happens to be a political lightning rod. Either he’s incredibly dumb (he’s not) or he’s being a jackass. The timing of him plugging a Tesla on his channel is also very suspect.
Mark Rober has had a Tesla for years. He already had the thing before the rest of the world figured out Elon was a Nazi. He did a video that was critical of the car and explained the way the tech worked. It’s better to avoid a toxic brand like Tesla but he pulled it off. Mark gave a perfect example of how to handle a toxic brand in your content. 8bitguy was practically praising Monsanto.
From reddit, some stuff, I kinda got the same vibes you did a while back, got a shit disturber vibe, does things to intentionally piss people off, which was what I got from that open carry video in that reddit comment.
I vaguely remember him have some gun nutter video
