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.
