Jack Saint (YouTuber) did a take down vid on Shad that revealed his real nature to me. I also had previously enjoyed his historical content.
The thing is, as another poster pointed out, once people started looking, he's actually not historically accurate either and is barely more knowledgeable about it than your friend in the SCA who won't shut up about long swords and katanas.
It's a pattern with bigots: you can't trust their information or expertise on anything. Because either they aren't willing to update their views with facts, or they're willing to lie to cover up facts they do know but dislike. Neither are good qualities in any person, but especially not in historians and educators.
I also just found out that Shad has been less then civil to another youtuber who's a HEMA & Stage fight instructor who criticized --one-of-Shad's-videos.-- never even mentioned Shad specifically.
