Here’s a few examples:
The Popcast (recently made a video warning of the “dangers” of the Barbie movie because it’s feminist. Now Im going to go see it lol), Midnights Edge (general right wing conspiracy theories regarding media, occasional delving into new age crank too), Nerdrotic (thinks Hollywood is engineering a communist Red Guards plot to kill conservatives), The Critical Drinker (typical edgelord anti feminist), Dave Cullen (extreme anti feminist who believes in all the QAnon, Agenda 21 conspiracy theories).
And it goes on and on. I know there’s popular left wing and liberal reviewers too, but for whatever reason so many of the ones I run into are far right. Is there some sort of draw for conservatives to geekdom or is something else going on?
Every day I wish the left were as cool as the right thinks we are.
Youtube’s algorithm is really eager to guide people into the alt-right pipeline. You basically have to immediately block any channel that seems even a little bit sus to keep that shit out.
Additionally, there is a draw for conservatives to geekdom in general: antisociality and a belief in one’s own intellectual superiority.
