After being banned from YouTube for six years,
American Krogan, one of the first chud-adjacent video game commentators on the platform, has been finally unbanned on the video-hosting website in November 2025.
American Krogan was known for his critical videos on
Bioshock,
Red Dead Redemption 2, and
Wolfenstein with heavy emphasis on racial politics, and his channel, which was founded in late 2016, grew to around 65k subscribers. His /pol/-tier commentary videos put him on the chopping block, where YouTube banned him for violating Community Guidelines without warning in 2019. Krogan was forced to migrate to YouTube alternatives like Bitchute, Odysee, and Rumble, and wasn't able to let his audience know where he went as he was blacklisted on social media.
Unable to get an audience within these channels with the videos giving out little to no income, American Krogan went into video game modding. Krogan soon put all his efforts and time for years into
developing the infamous Fallout 4 mod Grounded Commonwealth, which turned all the NPCs white and "corrected" all the NPCs' genders to make the game immersive as he refers it as "1950s America," which the
Fallout series borrows its inspiration from. Many of the mainstream modding sites such as
NexusMods and ModDB soon banned his mod, forcing it to be put on niche sites. Dejected and discouraged and unable to make any income, American Krogan quit the Internet in 2023.
In early 2025, with the growing friendliness to the right-wing on social media such as X, American Krogan tried to rebuild his Internet presence under another personality as Wilhem_Ivorsson. That is when in November 2025, YouTube restored Krogan's channel with no notification given. Krogan privated all his videos just in case but intends to publish videos on his YouTube channel as well as support chud-adjacent video game developers and making racial analysis posts as Wilhem_Ivorsson.
Krogan's unbanning on YouTube follows a trend of the unbanning and restoration of right-leaning/politically incorrect YouTube channels
such as Null's Mad at the Internet YouTube channel, which was a result of political pressure by the Trump administration onto Google/Alphabet and YouTube's jeet overlord Neal Mohan for censoring right-wing creators.
