NorthernLion is a popular Canadian streamer. Dan Gheesling won Big Brother a long time ago and is a popular American streamer. NL and Dan are both friends in real life and have been for a while, like over a decade.
Dan Gheesling has pretty family-friendly streaming content and generally talks about how he's against bringing politics into his stream. Then he did a multi-day sponsored stream with the US military. Basically, he sold out. Dan came back to his normal streaming schedule and people tried to point out how they kind of felt betrayed by this who sponsored US military thing. Some of his subscribers pointed out that for them the US military doesn't mean soldiers who protect "freedom" and the other propaganda but rather invading or occupying forces that kill children and do imperialism. Dan's response was basically, "I'm sorry you feel that way." This obviously left a huge sour taste in a load of people who supported him.
NL, after giving Dan a chance to come back and make his own statement, finally spoke up. He was really mature and thoughtful about it. He explained that as a Canadian the US military represents a very real and direct threat as lately his country is under a legitimate threat of military invasion. That's in addition to the stuff happening elsewhere in the world. He didn't badmouth the guy but basically said Dan needs to think about what he's representing to his community and realize he fucked up. NL honestly handled it like an adult.
Roachman can't understand how a person can be a friend but also say, "hey man, you fucked up and you need to right that shit," because Roachman makes too much money off not understanding it and also probably doesn't because he doesn't have the emotional and intellectual maturity to understand it.
