I was grateful that at least posts of him would generally have people bringing up how he's a transphobic shithead. I honestly think that everything he says has been said better by someone else and there's almost no reason to ever post him given all his shit takes. I think, though, that this will more likely just be added to the list of things people who dislike him (based) bring up when he's posted, along with transphobia and believing imperialist propaganda.

Yea, I guess being able to educate people about it is nice. It always feels to me like the poster doesn't think his transphobia was/is a big deal.

He's apparently ableist, too? It never ends, lol.

TBH I think he's rarely worth posting unless he makes a point in a particular unique or important context (rare, I think, he's a streamer and most of his interactions seem to be with equally unserious people), and in those cases it's good that his bad takes are discussed too. If it's just him having A Take, we'd be better off posting takes from people like Finkelstein or Mohammed El-Kurd instead.

lots of folks genuinely don't have any idea about his bad takes, they just see him be correct on Palestine and go from there
