I used to watch this guy. Then about 6 years or so ago. Then one video he gets on, and starts berating his viewers for sending him gifts, and fan art.

His explaination was something along the lines of him not having enough space for all the stuff. And that's fine. I understand not having space.

But then he just goes ON AND ON AND ON about it. In a pretty disrespectful manner.

He could have just said something like "As a side note, while I appriciate everybody thinking of me, I just don't have the space for it all.

So if you'd like to send me art, I would much prefer digital art over something physical. I love the enthusiasm, I just have nowhere to put it...."

That would have been understandable.

Instead, he said something more along the lines of "I'm getting way too much fan packages from you guys. LOOK AT MY LIVING ROOM!!! I can't take it all! This needs to stop! It's making me angry. You guys are tweeting me that I don't thank you for your hard work. I haven't even opened the box! How am I supposed to know what you sent me???"

And ever since then, I've seen him as an unappriciative dick. I understand the need to stop the incoming flow of packages coming in, but there's a nice way to do that.

I also used to watch this guy very regularly but stopped when I found out he's a political gun nut who open carries his AR-15 specifically to anger people and make them uncomfortable.

There's a video of him inside a store with a rifle ranting about some poor politician and their effort to prevent gun violence. Easy to find if you search for it.

This is his most current views on the subject if you care to watch. https://youtu.be/lGtSRb1q99o

Thanks for posting.

I'm glad he's thought through a lot of his more inflammatory positions and seems to have evolved a more nuanced take on things.

That link doesn't work for me.
