I mean after the shooting happened, there were a number of articles encouraging people to NOT read the manifesto. There were a few high-profile MSM articles saying it was "dangerous" to read, because it was wrapped in "so many layers of meta-irony". It's still illegal to access, possess or share the manifesto in Australia and New Zealand.
What I'm saying is that most people HAVEN'T read the manifesto. If they did, they would see that his sole motivation was a belief that the Wypipo were being replaced (just cribbed from Anders Behring Breivik) and that young, innocent Aryan girls were being slaughtered (Eka Aklerlund, primarily). But he's also an accelerationist, and knew that leaving tidbits of internet culture and wider references to pop culture could then taint associations with those things, causing the ostracization of normal fans and pushing them towards radicalization.
The media and lefties calling Pewdiepie a nazi is LITERALLY exactly what Tarrant wanted, just like an extreme firearm crackdown was a completely intended result of his massacre. And people act like they're standing up against nazis by doing precisely what the nazis hoped they would do.
So to bring it all back around... Quinton is acting directly in league with the nazis and advancing a white supremacist agenda by partaking in Pewds-is-a-nazi rhetoric.
This shit is actually painful to see because Quinton used to be one of my favorite youtubers.
I used to consider him a regular part of my video essay diet, and his first couple of Fallen Titans videos I found to be really well-done. Things took a DRASTIC turn for the worse quality-wise. He stopped being funny after Caleb left, and he stopped being interesting after he went full breadtube. At that point, you aren't even dissecting a work-- you're forcing an ideology onto a work, and then desperately trying to stretch this ideological membrane over the bones of a creation never meant to hold it. Miss me with that.
Contra I can enjoy about 50% of the content, sometimes purely from a production design standpoint, and I actually quite like Philosophy Tube on the whole, but that's as far into breadtube as I can honestly stand to go. Lindsay Ellis is a once-in-a-while.
