He's the streamer that went on a rant acknowledging that Palestine is facing a genocide but how Palestinians are all terrorists so it's actually a good thing?

Why the fuck anybody listens to what a guy who plays videogames for a living says is beyond me.

That's like saying no one should vote for Raegan because he's just come actor.

Oh, makes sense. I’ve never watched him.

He's been a ludicrous f*ckwit for a decade, are we really that surprised?

It's a pool of common sense, with some rather extreme poor takes on occasion.
