    Thanks friend, I’ll listen to that tonight. Obv Idk yet if I still hate him or his community, but I’m sorry if I’ve said shitty things to you based on stuff that didn’t turn out to be true. I’ve never heard of him reviewing old clips before even after getting involved in multiple posts like this, all I’d seen is him doubling down on or trying to recontextualize shitty takes

    So that’s the tactical slurs everyone’s talking about x3 Idk if there’s ever a good reason for a white person to say the n word besides explaining it to a child or something, but I’m glad he made them look like cowards and that the tactical slur meme isn’t just 100% him wanting an excuse to say slurs

      Well i appreciate you apologizing, I did feel shitty about the whole post and conversation and all, but I accept your sincerity and its okay now. Vaush isn’t perfect, he tries, but at some point it’s just… he accepts that he is abrasive and polarizing. He admits he has burnt bridges where maybe he could have done better. Maybe not gone thermonuclear on other creators or annoying twitter users. Vaush is not the “big tent” leftist, and as a fan, I follow the rule that when I am in a big tent space I just don’t bring him up, rofl. I watch him because he’s funny, and that keeps me in the game. The laughter keeps me from being burnt out on being actively leftist.
