TAA was also big into the whole anti-feminism/anti-SJW garbage a decade ago, and fuck everyone who was ever involved in that.

He actively spreads misinformation, as most of his videos are based on a single source, and he never actually examines how legit the source is. His stuff always "makes sense" and sounds well thought out, but it actively makes its audience dumber, while think they are learning something.

His worst offender is his Americapox videos, in which he literally says Native Americans "are at the bottom of the (video game) tech tree." because their native animals were too hard to domesticate. Treating development of cultures and technology as a linear video game style progression is bad enough, but the source for his pair of videos is "Guns Germs and Steel" a notorious pop-history book that has recieved a lot of negative criticism from historians for its inaccurate and infantilising depictions of native American civilisations, amongst other things, painting the conquest of the Americas as an "us or them" style thing, portraying it as "inevitable" and making absurd and insulting claims about native American groups, like the Inca being too stupid to know what an ambush was, because they didn't have horses.

And when the innacuracies and downright racism of his source was called out, CGPGrey doubled down, instead of admitting fault, first he did the standard youtuber tantrum of "if you don't like it, make your own video/I have more subscribers than you which means I'm right" sort of thing, and then when that didn't work, he declared his videos were a "joke" and he was just trolling historians with them.

Dude claims to be an intellectual, but can't ever admit the possibility that he is wrong or did poor research, in turn I think that means we can't really trust anything he produces. It's the "guy with a vaguely British accent says a thing with authority, so it must be intelligent and correct." sort of content.

Futakuchi Mana is a comrade though and makes some bangers

But that's also why she doesn't like being called a vtuber lol

I still can’t believe that I used to watch this piece of shit for years. I only stopped because in one of his videos he called trans women disgusting.

oh god that joshua weissman video thumbnail grin. we need that as an emoji, it's at least as iconic and awful as the mr beast death grin

Watch one kenji lopez video and your reccos will be full of orange shirt minstrelism and a four eyed fuckhead who thinks playing the pornhub sting beneath a montage of diced heirloom tomatoes is the last word in comedy

On the note of brownlee speeding, everyone who is recording dangerously while driving should be on everyone's shitlist. Several of these twitch and youtubers have gotten into accidents and its a miracle no one got killed

theprimeagen is loud and annoying, but he's been very loudly and annoyingly AI sceptical imo. Ngl I like a lot of his takes wrt coding, but you just know that mf has terrible politics lol

I used to watch reaction channels a lot, and yeah 99% turned out to be either radlibs or straight up chuds…

But I still watch and enjoy Drew Gooden. He’s just funny, and seems to not be completely brainwormed. Correct me if I’m wrong tho lol

Based. They are living, breathing, soyjaks.

Hank green always ruins everything he guests in for me. I don't like his smug face. Whenever he was on lateral with Tom Scott I would just skip it, and I really like lateral.
