Leon comes up every now and again on the TGWTG thread, he's honestly pretty lame. I was around when he was doing Heart of Gaming before Renegade Cut, and he bordered on edgelord, talking about it being okay for women to be cum dumpsters, about how he robbed a game store he worked at, ect. All a bunch of edgy stories he made up to talk about vidya. Now all those videos are gone & you can't watch any of them, as is typical with any sub-viral web content.
Heart of Gaming is a self-described "dark comedy" show on Blistered Thumbs. It is a mixture of old radio, noir and jazz. It changed from radio format to live video with episode 36. Accompanying out of character Audio Blogs can be found on the show website, but are not posted to Blistered Thumbs...

After a while, he started repeating his own points & decided to end the show on the character getting an HIV+ diagnosis & killed off the character.
Renegade Cut happened and it was good for a while, then Leon started declining into the aforementioned SJW shit he is in now, which goes back to at least 2013 (innovative). You may not know this, but Leon Thomas had actually plagiarized a Cracked article for his review of Predator to talk about how bullets don't create sparks (referring to muzzle flashes in his review whereas the article talks about bullets throwing sparks by making impact with objects.)
Page #1, topic #4: Bullets Make Everything Spark | Paragraph 4, sentence 4
Renegade Cut: Predator | Topic at 3:00 minute mark | Plagiarism at 3:14
Here is the only remaining evidence I have that this video even existed.
How well does Predator fit into 1980's action tropes compared to other popular films of its genre and era? Topics discussed: Bechdel Test, guns and the cheesiest lines of all time.

You can't see it now because Leon yeeted the video off of his channel (as many of TGWTG alumni are want to do) but I'm certain that as an old fan of his you probably have seen the video.
This was around the time Leon's content began to dip in quality as he had already dipped his toes into SJWism.
Thomas likes to either delete or make Stalinist edits to his own videos. So if you see something worth talking about, archive it.
One such example is his review of the Dark Knight Trilogy. When it was still on Blip.tv & TGWTG, Leon went on a tirade condemning Batman for being unmistakably Republican. Note from this archive that the original video was only 9 minutes long, whereas the new Youtube replacement is actually 25 minutes long.
Someone's Archive of the original.
The Stalinist remade video.
And now here's our archive.

Ironically, this is a case of going from clowning on a subject matter to actually taking it more seriously. He still clowns on it near the end with an "Ugh, Batman is good because he's got the best car" strawman. This is the first sign of him being a contrarian, first taking a generic, inflammatory, politically motivated (leftist; calling Fox a "false liberal", condemning Batman for being "neo-conservative", ect.) swipe at Batman, then taking a more sophisticated approach by actually discussing different moral models before condemning Batman. What this amounts to is "I don't like people liking Batman & want to flex how smart I am by tearing him down."
It also shows at the very end of the original review that Leon Thomas is one of those retards who believes that the movies you watch actively brainwash the viewer with such lines as "Because Batman, that's why, just hum along to his theme song and stop thinking about the implications of what we're watching."
And then of course it came out that Leon is now nothing more than a smug contrarian weaksauce troll who makes his voice sound congested on purpose with the release of his Fembusters review.
And now we come to current Leon Thomas. I have not watched even one of his videos since the Fembusters defense video, and now it seems his channel has shaken off the pretense of being about movies & is now just about politics.
Leon is also known for purging comments he doesn't like off of his channel.

I guess we can also count Leon as a
false liberal neo-con since he so liberally yeets opinions he finds disagreeable.
Something tells me I just posted everything that was worth talking about.
