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

      It’s not that much of a shame because even without his bigotry, the substance of his videos is severely ill-informed and lacking. He mostly makes it up based on vibes and what feels right, and he gets very grumpy when the people who have actually studied and practised based on historical manuals point out where he’s wrong.

      But yeah, he’s got a whole second channel that’s your typical right-wing reactionary media critic, whinging about how Star Wars got woke or whatever.

        Ah. I didn’t know his videos are actually factually inaccurate. I was mostly entertained by his videos on castles. I wonder if there are any other YouTubers who cover castles and such who are decent people.

          Yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve seen his videos, but I think his ones on castles are probably mostly ok. It’s the times he’s done direct HEMA stuff that he’s shown a more ignorant side.
