I am tired of this faggot not having a thread so I thought that I'd do it myself. There was a time not so long ago where I not only would have objected to him having a thread but would have actively defended him. Should have listened to my Kiwi brethren on this one because they were 100% right about him. In fact, not only is he a douchebag grifter but these last few months he has proven that he definitely is 100% lolcow material.
Introduction
Who is Steven Crowder you may be asking? Steven Crowder is a conservative YouTube personality known for his podcast "Louder with Crowder" and even better known for the meme "Change my Mind" which comes from him in his "Change my Mind" videos where he talks to liberal students and has them debate why they think that his conservative topic is wrong.
He self identifies as a "comedian" despite not being all that funny. While being a fairly popular voice amongst conservatives, Crowder has had a growing reputation as being hard to work with and someone who constantly burns bridges with people who he has been associated with.
Unfortunaelty because this story is moving so fast I will prematurely post this thread without my OP being complete. For things you would like to add post here, or DM me. The stuff in yellow is what I am working on.
This needs to be talked about now because the fact that people like Ben Shapiro and Anthony Cumia (who aren't even that bad imo) have a thread but Crowder doesn't is ridiculous.
Let me summarize what is going on real quickly.
Crowder is trying to manipulate the situation and somehow justify the footage we can see above. (Archive) Whatever context there is to this, there is no way you can make this situation look better.

History and Early Life
Steven Crowder was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 7, 1987. Coincidentally, 1987 is a year infamous for being very grim during the AIDs epidemic as many people died that year due to the disease and also the year Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS himself after his HIV got worse. Around the time he was 3 years old, his family moved to Montreal, Canada where he would live the majority of his child and teen life till he moved back to the US in Vermont at 18 years of age to attend and eventually drop out of Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont.
Earliest known facts about Steven Crowder working in entertainment is that at 12 years old he voiced Alan the Brain from PBS's hit show Arthur from Season 5-6. Yes, I'm not joking this is a real confirmed fact. Why and how he got that role I am not really sure. He might have talked about it before and if he has I will add it to this OP.
I have it timestamped to 1:16 his character talks about being interested in being a comedian and his friends not finding him funny which is interesting as this is a running theme in Crowder's life.
In the early 2000s a new hot thing began to sweep the internet called YouTube. Steven Crowder was one of the first people to hope onto that trend. Steven Crowder created his YouTube channel on June 2nd, 2006 but didn't post his first video till January 4th, 2009 entitled "GO TEAM ISRAEL! (featuring Obama's moons)". As far as I know this is his first video unless he had any older videos that he deleted. He would continue to this 2009 style comedy sketches for the next few years and the first one on the list I see to hit 1 million views is The OBAMA Song! (Official Version). Most of these videos as you can see are his salt of Obama winning the election in 2008 and making jokes related to the administration and political climate of the time. Steven would continue his YouTube channel and began to work with some conservative voices like Pajamas Media and Andrew Breitbart. Crowder eventually became a contributor on Fox News in 2009. Here is the type of stuff he mostly did on Fox.
On 2012 , Crowder quit Fox to focus more on his growing YouTube channel. In the next 3 years he would continue doing what he had been doing but of course updating with the times, with making the skits higher quality and using click baity thumbnails on his videos. 2012 was also a big year for him as he married his now ex-wife Hilary Korzon in August 2012. He and Hilary claim to have remained virgins until their marriage. During the years 2013-2015, Crowder would focus less on his skit videos and more on interviews, interviewing and debating random people in public, and his short political talking head videos. He did a few of those through his early YouTube days but this part of his channel became more prominent and be the bases of what became the Louder With Crowder Podcast and Change My Mind.
The Rise of LwC
On November 21, 2014 Crowder's life changed forever. Steven Crowder posted his first episode of his Louder with Crowder Podcast entitled "My French Mom Calls on Immigration! + Guests!" which was audio only. Ironically, the first words ever spoken on this show are an ad sponsor. In the first episode the Arthur intro plays as a joke as a reference to how he played Alan Powers. This first stream is very much a product of its time and has a lot of the humor millennials used on the internet during that period like saying "interwebz". Other than that it is pretty much your standard Louder With Crowder episode minus the visuals and higher production value.
First time I could find the podcast being visual in any form was December 23th, 2014 where he posted a clip from his show entitled "Michelle Malkin EPIC Teardown of Michelle Obama! || Louder With Crowder". For the next year Crowder would post clips just like this with most of them in a room with a dark blue sheet in the background. His stream intro for a while was still the Arthur into following a record scratch and changing into a song that says "STEVEN!" That would change on #24 Gavin McInness and Mrs. Crowder Guest! where he first uses his well known theme "Strange Animal" by GOWAN.
On Feburary 26, 2016 Crowder would post his first full all live podcast on YouTube entitled #60 Ben Shapiro, Milo and Iowa Coin Toss Czar | Louder With Crowder. Crowder eventually began to have all his podcasts in this form while still having an audio version as we are familiar with today. Wasn't till episode #100 TRUMP SCARES FREELOADERS! Tommy Sotomayor and Dean Cain | Louder With Crowder on December 2, 2016 that Crowder got his studio that most are familiar with today.
Over the next 7 years, Crowder would continue the show in this same format with many changes to the cast over time and a couple changes of partnerships. As of March 20, 2023 Crowder has moved the show exclusively to Rumble and his YouTube channel is now once again reduced to sometimes showing off segments from the show but is mostly still shown on his secondary channel CrowderBits.
As of today on April 25, 2023, Steven Crowder has on:

Like him or not, Steven Crowder is a huge voice in the American conservative movement rivaling prominent figures such as Tucker Carlson and the late Rush Limbaugh.

List of controversies (GROWING!)
Now into the meat of the whole thing and why Crowder has a thread in the first place. This list is a big one and it is ever growing. I will post them in their respective order.
Here are the most recent and relevant controversies. This is the stuff that caused me to make the thread in the first place. The real big cowish stuff begins here.
Dave Landau is a comedian who joined LwC in 2021. Dave was who got me hooked to the show.
Steven's Questionable Sexuality
At first I ignored this aspect about him and left those claims to be typical leftist schizo posting. Now that I am no longer a Crowder fan I began digging into those claims and learned not only is there credence to it, but it isn't only leftists saying this sort of thing.
Deboonking Crowder's "It isn't about the money" claims
Like any good grifter, they will claim that everything they do is all %100 genuine.
My Personal Favorite, the Kyle Rittenhouse stream
I didn't put this in the list of controversies because Kyle Rittenhouse is controversial in any situation. My issue has nothing to do with Kyle, he seems like a good kid and would make a good Kiwi. My issues is how Crowder handled the interview and how freaking weird and uncomfortable it was. When I initially saw this interview I was still a huge fan of the channel but this interview made me cringe and you can see how uncomfortable Kyle was during the majority of the time.
The kid probably thought he was going onto a stream that would help his image and spread positively on his court victory he just had. Instead Crowder wanted to have a conversation about tits and for some reason told him about a 30 something year old weird female fan who was lusting over Kyle.
Crowder's View of Hypocrisy
This was always something that bugged me about Crowder. Crowder projects the fact that he is a hypocrite on everyone else and says everyone is a hypocrite. It's a weird pseudo intellectual take Crowder a
Crowder's Failed Comedy Career
Finally, I think it would be appropriate to end
Other Notable Bizarre and Autistic Behaviors
Here is a list of miscellaneous bizarre and weird things Steven does that do not need a whole section dedicated on them in the OP.
Now into the meat of the whole thing and why Crowder has a thread in the first place. This list is a big one and it is ever growing. I will post them in their respective order.
Jared Monroe, most know as "NotGayJared" by his fans was Steven's original cohost and was his only cohost the first couple years of the show. Not sure when he first joined and other information about him. As someone who didn't watch this show around this time let me know what I could add in this section about him, whether it is facts, information, or even why you enjoyed him if you were a fan of him.
From what I've heard about him was that he was always the best part of LwC and his departure was a tipping point for many of his original fans. Based on the stuff I have seen from his Twitter he does seem to be a pretty chill and funny guy.
Anyways, on August 10, 2018 it was announced Jared would be leaving the show (timestamp 1:09:40) and claimed that he was leaving because his son was about to be born. Few were skeptical at the time but most believed what they heard on face value because up till then, Crowder seemed like a good guy who prided himself on being honest and transparent to the audience. The acting from Jared was good and as for Crowder is probably the best acting he has ever done. Both seemed like they were separating on good terms and made it even sound like he would return as a quest sometimes. That of course never happened and they only had people suspicions grow whenever they never talked about or mentioned each other.
People theorized there was some sort of NDA and after a bit another person who was formally on the show named Owen Benjamin would begin to talk about his time on Crowder and answering the many suspicions people had. I am not sure when he started spilling and when his time on Crowder was and what he did if someone could help me out with that part of the information I would appreciate it.
What separates Owen Benjamin from the others is that he is one of the only people who didn't sign an NDA with him. Because of the lack of NDA, Owen has for years spilled information on what kind of person Crowder is and how he treats his friends and staff. However, he had been ignored for a long time and treated as a crazy disgruntled ex-employee and for good reason because do not be mistaken, Owen Benjamin is a cow himself and even has a thread that deserves a lot more traction. When Owen Benjamin isn't sperging out and talking about his belief of retarded things like Flat Earth and dinosaurs being fake, he is sperging about Steven Crowder who he has been proven time and time again that he is spot on about despite Crowder living in this guy's head rent free.
If someone could provide some examples of Owen calling this out I would appreciate it. Again this thread is a work in progress and I do not have every single detail on hand.

I am sure most of you have heard of the original YouTube Adpocalypse, but not sure how many of you know as familiar with the Sequel dubbed as "The Vox Adpocalpse". Many in this sphere of the internet will most likely have some familiarity of it but long story short, some fat white woman and Pajeet got angry at the type of stuff YouTube

Dave Landau is the most recent host to leave LwC and was my personal favorite from the show.

Here is a list of miscellaneous bizarre and weird things Steven does that do not need a whole section dedicated on them in the OP.
- To prove how patriotic he is, Crowder makes it at least at one point made all his employees do the Pledge of Allegiance everyday of work. The patrotic virtue signaling hilariously falls flat when you don't even do it in front of a real flag and salute a TV screen with a flag picture instead.
Unfortunaelty because this story is moving so fast I will prematurely post this thread without my OP being complete. For things you would like to add post here, or DM me. The stuff in yellow is what I am working on.

Let me summarize what is going on real quickly.
- Dave Landau who was great and am still a fan of revealed how much of douche Steven Crowder was to him
- Leaks got out about Steven's divorce
- Steven gives a lame response blaming his wife for not being his right choice
- Steven blames Candance Owens for the info getting out
- Video of Steven sitting on his butt smoking while wanting his 8 month pregant wife to do chores surfaces with him threatening her and emotionally manipulating her (Archive)
- Here is the full story (Archive)
Crowder is trying to manipulate the situation and somehow justify the footage we can see above. (Archive) Whatever context there is to this, there is no way you can make this situation look better.
