Large Testicles posted:He's definitely a chud but he seems to keep it out of his videos. Take that how you will. This is what I was gonna say but better. He's like 90% of the car guys I grew up around in the ND/MN border area. He's clearly doing a bit to some extent, and his overboard bootlicking at burnout competitions and poo poo gets tedious, but most of his actual content is pretty tame and fairly interesting/informative. He rides that bubble hard though.

morothar posted:Any thoughts on ViceGripGarage? The backdrop seems chuddy as all hell, but dude’s doing a great job at not offering a political view beyond “USA great” from the videos I’ve seen. Seems very much stereotypical North Dakotan, which means he appears very unassuming, nice even, but makes it a very fine point to "not talk politics" (except for fervent nationalism and worship of veterans and police and hanging out with people with Trump poo poo plastered everywhere.) The whole thing is wrapped up in cisheteronormative patriarchal pandering that makes it really transparent. It's really unfortunatel because he's fairly entertaining (because he reminds me of every domestic car geek I ever knew.) Source: me--someone that spent their first 27 years in and around Fargo before moving to Chicago because it ain't safe being my queer rear end back home. (And of course Derek moved to somewhere somehow more conservative than ND.)

22 Eargesplitten posted:I get this, OTOH it's always sweet to watch him do road trips with his kids and reminds me of going with my dad to grandma and grandpa's house in his old '60s-'70s trucks. Also he reminds me of a real life Red Green but less ridiculous. Yeah that's really it, though: as long as you're in their correctoy narrow band of "people who matter to me personally," your garden variety plains chud will never seem to be a bigot. Blood relative? Childhood friends? You're probably fine as long as you're not gay. But they will at every step support the politics that favor white Christian cis men above all else, even if they don't talk about it. Like, I watch his stuff too, because he's probably the most accurate to my experience of growing up wrenching, but I know full well what the other side of that experience is like.

Tolerating chuds is how you get more chuds hth. If you have one Nazi in your bar, you have a Nazi bar.

I dunno, man, "People who knowingly work with and enable Nazis are actually Nazis" seems pretty straightforward. Because the people who knowingly work with and enable fascists are, in fact, just as bad as fascists. Because that's fascism.

NitroSpazzz posted:Matt's Offroad Recovery - chud or no? I know there's some insurance fraud but I watched the video of their Donut Media luxury RV recovery thing and now 1/4 of my feed is their videos. Nothing outwardly chuddy in his content. Personally I've just sorta burned out on their content, and their crew changed over almost completely in the past year and it's just not as engaging as it used to be. He is Mormon, though, so there a bit of Utah LDS conservative chud built in.

H1KE posted:Alex, and by extension Max and Peter from Legit Street Cars seem like OK guys. They've done some good stuff, helped people out and nothing really stands out as far as I've seen. Watching them rebuild stupidly complicated stuff step by step is interesting to me, even if he does have to do some shilling in the middle, but peeps gotta eat, so can't blame them for that. At least he doesn't have to do mobile game sponsors anymore and his Keeps sponsorship seems to have actually helped him regrow his bald patch. There was a fair bit of kerfuffle when Peter left LSC, it seems like a pretty standard acrimonious split, but Peter has his own channel now and I'm probably gonna keep watching both. I think Alex seriously underestimated both how much the dynamic of the three of them helped the channel and how much his own BS in handling the split has messed up his rep (lawyering up for no real reason and basically memory-holing Peter when it comes to video comments.) That said, that's all drama and not really lovely chud behavior beyond standard capitalist rear end in a top hat poo poo.

Was super unhappy to see one of those drat stickers on Thecraig909's laptop a couple weeks back. I shouldn't be surprised--he's in San Diego, clearly pretty well off, white, got that general vibe and an unhealthy obsession with NASCAR aesthetics, and he makes a questionable joke or vocabulary choice in almost every video--but I'm still sad. The content is usually pretty good, and it's nice to have someone that does old-school Ford stuff.

Mr. Apollo posted:Whenever people do that "technically not a nazi" thing. I just say something like "Well they did whatever they could to support the goals of the nazis so they obviously agreed with them, otherwise they would have resigned their position". I usually get a "you don't understand" type reply. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mr. Apollo posted:He said it's unfortunate but he understands why a lot of people who rely on YouTube as their main source of income avoid topics that are controversial with "certain groups" because they'd lose a lot of their subscribers. 🤔🤔🤔
