The other comments have the right context, an added part is that no one dropped Dan (who was also the winner of the second season of big brother and then went into streaming games, wild world right?) outright until he did some kind of "apology stream" where he went "I didn't know the US army was so political :/. oh well, someone will hate me for anything anyways right? lol".
I'm surprised that this is a lightning rod for the cockroach though given that the piece NL said was so like- measured and calm? Just explained why they weren't streaming with him and left it there. I didn't think much about it.
I guess it makes the stink wizard nervous that people online don't tolerate the empire doing genocide and that streamers who are normally seen as non-political can launch valid criticisms at the US and be taken seriously.
I apologize for making you recapitulate more drama slop but I still don't have a clear idea of what is happening here. I am familiar with NL and Dan and the rest of them but, being that I dislike all involved, I haven't really followed recent events. So Dan does a military recruitment stream, NL and the others object, then Dan does a fake apology stream (what did he actually say?) and now the others have severed ties over this matter? Am I understanding right?
Iirc BaerTaffy was openly some shitty libertarian-ish conservative and everyone tolerated him just fine. I don't really see what the internal logic is unless the perception is that Dan is specifically now in effect a serious Trump apologist and that's bad for the brand.
They didn't really mention Trump at all from what I saw it was pretty much "We've done a Gaza fundraiser before, what's happening there is a genocide, the US army is complicit, it's fucked up to try and convince your audience of impressionable teens and young adults to help carry that out".
For the other stuff... if you don't like any of them I just wouldn't even bother wasting time on it. We're just both going to get into the streamer drama weeds and get ticks or something (this isn't an anology I just love using time to hate ticks).
The US military tried to do some recruiting and ended up shitting the bed while also accidentally continuing to normalize opposition to the ongoing genocide against Palestinians. That's good enough for me to be a little happy IG.
Fair enough. Thank you for the additional comments.
The roach guy is just a bottom feeder, I don't think he actually believes much of anything, other than deep selfishness and misanthropy. He's politically ignorant, can't actually explain his case on any topic, he just gets performatively mad at the same things his audience is mad at. It's ironic he accuses everyone else of audience capture. But none of that makes him less of a piece of shit.
Nah, he's a deeply racist far-right asshole. I mean you're right that he doesn't know shit about politics, but that's standard for Americans, especially racist white American right-wingers. He's pretty much just a standard Republican
