    I rarely click on YouTube links. For some reason I gave this one a try. Turns out she’s bigoted.

    That’ll teach me for clicking

      At one point I was looking for some help with implementing something akin to UE’s Metahumans but in Godot.

      Somehow I stumbled across this one, single person on youtube who had a half decent implementation of what I was looking for…

      … and after watching some other videos on her channel… yep, she’s an open NeoNazi.

      That was enough internet for me, that day.

        In the interest of not giving a potential neo nazi any more views, what made you think this? Apart from if she said “I’m a neo nazi.”

          Well it was pretty much just openly saying it.

          Her YT channel was a mix of fairly long, sort of livestream clips of development progress and notes… and then just clips of her livestreams where she wasn’t really developing and was just responding to chats, going off about political topics, ‘white genocide’ this, ‘every democrat is a f@g communist’ that, a whole bunch of other dogwhistles or overt references to memes and slogans of various extremist right wing militia type groups…

          Also, for clarity, I am not talking about OP’s link, I’m talking about some very obscure other person I found months ago. Much , much lower view/su count, not even monetized. Also unlike OP’s link, this person actually wrote code instead of just having opinions about things.

          There is a difference between being on the conservative side of a culture war and being balls deep into extremist right wing ideology.

        YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.

        So it’s more likely to be bad than good.
