Yeah, this is the sucky part about the modern internet. It used to be that the internet was a place for discussion and we've twisted it to a place to enforce conformity.
I don't know anything about this guy, so maybe there's a more established pattern here, but ideally we don't jump down someone's throat when they do one or two unpopular things, but instead wait for a pattern to emerge before getting out the pitchforks. But everyone needs to be first, because the first one gets the eyeballs and there's not much downside to ruining someone's reputation unnecessarily.
It's stupid and I hate it.
I think I'm just tired of being handed a pitchfork whenever I browse YouTube or read about Stop Killing Games.
Yeah, that's why I generally avoid the more popular channels. I just don't care about internet drama and just want to watch some decent content.
