    It’s pretty well known and easy to verify, but I have no interest in googling this reprehensible being. If you’ve listened to him in the past, then I do wish you a swift recovery. Cheers.

      That was incredibly petty and rude of you. Sounds like you just don’t have a source. Take care then.

        I did the Google. He apparently used child porn and pedophilia as rhetorical devices in arguments about other topics, which have then of course been taken out of context and weaponizsd by people who hate him.

        It’s a good example of why you shouldn’t use certain topics to score debate points and why no one should be live on the internet for multiple hours a day.

          Thanks! Checking this out. But yeah, being online too much can cause a lot of lost perspective

            It’s just one of those topics you want to avoid unless you’re making a specific point about it, for example how right-wing nutjobs now believe that literally anyone they don’t like is a pedophile.

              Yeah I just finished reading it over and watching clips - and while he was very sloppy/arrogant to even try to wade into those waters, he’s definitely not defending child porn or pedophilia. That’s pretty clear. Anything where you have to heavily explain how you’re not _____ is generally a bad idea.

        Not only do they not have a source, Vaush has actually addressed basically all the controversies about him in a long list of ways.

        Here’s a link to a GitHub page that has a large collection of Vaush’s responses to his various controversies over the years.

        And if it wasn’t clear Vaush is a staunch trans ally and anti-racist. Any honest viewing of his content on either subject would show that to be the case.

        Oh get off your high horse. You’re well aware that everything I said is accurate. I simply don’t respect you enough to engage with you further.

          I have no clue why you’d think that. You’re just grinding an axe man. You are also not the kind of person whose respect I’d welcome, let’s be crystal clear here.

          This is a very sad attempt to deflect from having no credible sources for an incredibly disgusting accusation. Feel free to not engage further.
