Many years ago he paid like 5 bucks to see if some Indian guys would write “heil Hitler” on a sign and hold it up for a video (they did}. He was doing stupid edgy humor and playing with like like many creators at the time. Many people canceled him “fully” a year or so after that when he had the “bridge incident”. He called someone the n word for camping or something while he was playing PUBG. He apologized and took responsibility for using the word…sorta. He continued to make content for a few more years and then he “retired” in Japan with his wife and child. They post update videos every few months but more or less he got his bag and dipped out after he pulled too many stupid moves and was seen as “toxic” to work with.
I don’t think he’s a bad person, but that’s just as someone who occasionally watched his videos over the years.
Ivkenz I understand being mad at him for sure. It’s they staying mad at him forever that I don’t understand. People make mistakes. People change. He didn’t do anything worse than 90% of the guys I knew in highschool at some point. You grow up and you learn that behavior isn’t correct.
Changing is insufficient. Apologizing is only sometimes sufficient.
Sometimes to undo damage you need to actively push against the thing you did.
You don’t just say “sorry I said the N word, that was bad”. You educate people on why it’s not ok to say and call out others who say it. You put in the effort to make things better, not just good enough.

people here really hate him for something I see in the average TF2 lobby. Also to me it seems like he has taken responsibility and grown from it 🤷♀️

Impossible. You know damn well people on the internet can’t change.
