He had racist and anti trans jokes in all his videos. I wrote them off as just innocent friendly jokes for a while, but they were in ALL his videos. I unsubbed and blocked him after I realized it was a pattern with him.
I didn’t watch him regularly enough to pick up on a pattern at the time. The one trans joke I do remember sounded more like he was making fun of himself for not being able to keep up. More of a yellow flag then a red flag for me.
Yes I started to notice it pick up in frequency and stopped for a while because of that. Gives me the ick. Then when he went on the tirade I realized his intentions. Ugh.
Para social relationships are hard. You think you get to know someone over the years watching their videos. I would even watch the videos he would put on his daughter’s channel. The videos of him just cooking.
I thought he was a smart guy even with some of his gruff persona.
Oddly enough, one of the first cracks in that facade was a BOLTR video taking apart a Hitachi wand or knockoff. He was so weirdly prudish about the idea of a woman actually using one in a way that didn’t feel like a joke. But I convinced myself it was probably a joke, because…why would he be weird about that?
But the trucker protest videos hit me like a cement truck. It actually really bummed me out. I texted my dad and he said something to the effect of, “Oh well, his videos have been shit anyway.”
Yep he was always a bit off color and said some eyebrow raising things at times. I wrote most of it off as banter and general crude joke style. Hell… my trans friend is the one that showed me the channel. It made me really question peoples’ true intent when they pull that crap now.

Yeah, I know some tradesmen and have some backwoods family. Most of them walk the line on crude step over here and there. About the time he started rallying with convoy and antivax, I realized he could both be smart and really f’ing stupid. I can’t watch him now, just gives me the ick. Everything he says is hey look at me.
That completely caught me off guard and I was super disappointed.
