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 just gonna repost a comment I made on a thread about YouTubers you don’t watch anymore:

    Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother’s an actual artist too so it’s hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very “anti-woke” and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.

    The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he “gave them” a child, while the ones that didn’t get pregnant were jealous.

    He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn’t the protagonist’s viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.

    Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.

      Yikes. It’s times like these that I am glad to not follow any particular celebrity fandoms. Not everyone who is widely known is a shitty person but, a lot of them are. And they’re less interesting than most other people you’d meet.
