Her videos were all devoid of anything terfy, that's why it took me by surprise but once Tom's video with her came out people got rightly mad and produced receipts and the video went down, and she left Standard.

Whatever became of Skalagrim of however you write it? I remember dropping him when he started getting very guns rights and whatnot. Can't remember the mass shooting that triggered the convo at the time.

I thought somebody here said he publicly broke with shad over right wing poo poo and was like way better or something. Or maybe that was the gladiator school dude and Skallagrim was one of the "women aren't meant to hold a sword" guys. IDK, I confuse all of those white european/commonwealth bearded/long haired sword nerds, they all look the same to me.

(also lol at shad's ongoing public embarrassment over AI art and his "talents". I don't know anything about Jazza's politics or beliefs and I assume that they're probably not great given the notable family relation, but he deserves a "world's best brother" award for how diplomatically and lovingly he handles Shad's delusions and obvious complex)

Moon posted a bit about his thoughts after seeing the call.

quote:

Happy New Year folks!

So, the last video on the Jobst-Completionist conflict has proven to be just a touch controversial, and I, as not a YouTuber really, underestimated how much people care about YouTube drama. We've talked about religion, and politics, and economics, and law, and gender on this channel, but only Karl Jobst is a topic worthy enough for brigading and harassment, which is as puzzling to me as it is amusing. That said, I should also have expected the outrage from Jobst's fans: I kicked the wasp's nest, and now I'm covered in wasps.

I've received some complaints concerning the last video from, we'll call them, well meaning Jobst enthusiasts, and have had the chance to talk to Jobst directly via Reddit. Jobst was quite pleasant to talk to, which I consider a credit to him.

My video doesn't include any evidence taken from a long, unedited discord call between Jirard, Mutahar, and Jobst. After watching it, I can see why that's upset some people: it does make Jirard look quite a bit worse, as he fumbles his words and contradicts himself quite a bit. As the former director of Open Hand, naturally, his not knowing things could be a strong indicator of negligence.

I won't get into the details of the call, as I still think my video's legal analysis holds up without it. I will say, it makes arguments of charity fraud more plausible, and more likely, by a healthy amount. I don't think it changes anything regarding embezzlement.

That said, of course, my video makes no claims as to the morality of the situation, and if one finds Jirard is guilty of Jobst's definitions of charity fraud or embezzlement, that's alright too.

My video didn't get into details concerning Jirard's family either, because that's just not something I'm comfortable with, and because there isn't enough for me to add anything to the discussion legally.

Regardless of what happens next, I won't be making a follow-up video, even if Jobst responds. Sometimes you're the fire extinguisher, and sometimes you're the fuel. This time, it seems, I've been fuel, which is disheartening, and contrary to my intentions.

I'm washing my hands of this situation, as I'm content to allow the future to either confirm or deny my analysis, and if I'm wrong, if Jirard is convicted of charity fraud and/or embezzlement, I'll donate the whole income from the video, sponsor included, to the Alzheimer's Association. I withdraw any challenge for Jobst to donate his income, as well.

Speaking of donations though, the silver lining to this cloud is that Moon Channel viewers have raised, as of the publishing of this post, $2,338 for the Alzheimer's Association!! That's an incredible amount, and something we should all be proud of. Seeing as how we smashed through my contribution-match ceiling (amazing, seriously), I've donated the $500 as of this morning.

Altogether then, we've donated nearly $3,000, and the number keeps climbing! Thank you all for your support of the Alzheimer's Association, and all of the good work that they do.

good guy.

For those who don't know, shad is convinced that he's already close to being a "pro-level" graphic artist and illustrator on his own merits (absolutely not, he draws like a fairly talented middle schooler) and that AI "art" and writing/refining AI prompts is just as creatively and cognitively valid/strenuous/whatever as somebody cultivating actual artistic talent and practice/development/training (it's obviously not).

So if you want to see a notorious youtube bigot and fascist publicly humiliate himself, there's a ton of content and a lot of compilations/etc featuring shad debating the merits of his position and the merits of his "work", usually getting defensive/insecure/irate, including one especially painful conversation between shad and jazza at some card game thing where shad just gets increasingly aggressive and belligerent and his poor brother does everything he can to help him save face and self-esteem and also not torch their relationship.

Shad's literally like "be honest, I'm as good as you". Like it becomes insulting to his brother's career. Just proving the whole thesis about chuds fundamentally not respecting creative work, etc

iirc that clip is from before genAI was even a thing, so shad was aggressively defending his not very good drawings as being up to a professional standard even before he started using AI as a crutch

That was Matt Easton/scholagladiatoria who cut ties with Shad. Skallagrim has his wife help him show off weapons and weapons techniques so that's probably Shad again you're thinking of - not sure on that one. Not sure about the gun thing but skal does like guns though and Easton has also talked about moving to USA to have guns so that might just be all of them.

Oh that wouldn't surprise me at all. I only got into watching these channels in the middle of last year and have only watched Skallagrim, scholagladiatoria, and Tod's Workshop and haven't run into that sentiment but maybe it's in some older videos.

There is something incredibly lame about sword dudes also trying to talk about how much they are into guns, though. lol
