Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out
AvE started praising the trucker convoys
Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.
Yeah AvE was a punch in the nuts
Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother's an actual artist too so it's hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very "anti-woke" and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.
The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he "gave them" a child, while the ones that didn't get pregnant were jealous.
He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn't the protagonist's viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.
Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.
His brother (Jezza) is a great artist and while I don't know much about him I don't think he's anything like shad. I regularly see him cooperate on a warhammer channel called tabletop time and they have videos about women in the warhammer scene (made by one of their female members). So I highly doubt those two have much in common.
Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.
All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he's just as good an artist and Jezza doesn't have the heart to call him out on it.
i watched demo ranch for a while but figured it would only be a matter of time before that guy would dissapoint me with blatant fascism apologia. guess i wasnt wrong.
Same deal with ave. It's fine, his content also started going downhill.
Shad is constantly trying to get one over on his co-hosts to the point where it's difficult to watch. Always has to win. I liked learning about how castles worked a hundred times more.
