I tried to ask a another youtuber Living Anachronism who has worked with Shadiversity if he knew about Shad’s homophobic content & the mod delete my question, told me asking about that was against the no drama rule, that it wasn’t homophobic & proceeded to try to gaslight me with pseudo-intellectual bullshit.
I’m tired of bringing thing up in non queer spaces only to be told that’s it not actually homophobic.
The original video I referred to:https://youtu.be/GiyMDN9j2OU?si=bDqnc1pCG8t3HASp
I’m an elder Gen X. Who are these people? Why should I care about them? Does their limited literacy and obvious homophobia have an impact on the wider world in general?
Edit: Sorry; I didn’t notice the youtube link initially. I am shame.
Anyway, I’m like 30 seconds in now, and it’s two fucking morons in shitty Costume City versions of chain mail talking about issues they’re wildly unfamiliar with, and somehow they’ve got, like, 100k followers? WTF? Am I just taking crazy pills?
Edit edit: So, like, are these chodes like the Australian version of Andrew Taint?
Shad is Australian and his politics are shitty, but he’s not an Andrew Taint if only because his influence is miniscule outside of the niche of people interested in medieval weaponry but not interested enough in that to actually go out and join a HEMA or SCA or similar club (because just about the first thing you’ll learn if you do join a HEMA club is how shitty his opinions about history are…in addition to his modern-day political opinions).
I believe he’s Mormon as well, which is where some homophobia could come from.
That would explain a lot of things. The best thing to do is disassociate from anyone on social media who is Mormon. Every subscriber and like just reinforces the notion that they are doing Gods work in every aspect.
