It's always been a spark of joy to me that Yahtzee somehow never became a chud incel gamer fascist who whines about cancel culture, even though he was precisely the correct demographic at exactly the right time. He even wore a fedora.

He seems like he's become more mellow with age and seems like an overall nice guy. His videos about game design are really thoughtful and well made, more than his rantsona videos would suggest

Around the time of GamerGate he was kind of edging on that territory

I remember him getting mad at "Social Justice Warriors".

I think the specific criticism was that they were only posting online and without doing anything in real life.

Yeah of course, but he somehow escaped. Good on him.

I'm always surprised tomfind out he's not terrible. It's nice ya know for once to look at gamer content you enjoyed long ago and not just cringe at the chud transformation
