    I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.

          He was an edgy teenager deep into his 20's.

          Others have pointed out how people keep growing up in their 20s and 30s. But also as a media personality, you can't ignore the possibility that he's playing a character on camera. It could legitimately be he just kept acting like his younger self while recording because that pays the bills

            If this was a calculated act, that sort of makes things worse.

                What's he done to earn that title really? We live in a world of genocide, pointless wars and rapists.

                  He annoys me, which is arguably worse.

                    Slightly right of neutral on a moving train is pretty bad.

                      he pretty much "retired" from youtube because of some drama that occurred, very typical of these types youtubers. and suddenly trying to come back as one. at one point he was shilling for youtubes intense aggressive advertisements(but this wasnt what caused his departure), and then his allegedly support of nazis.

                        and then his allegedly support of nazis.

                        The nazi one IMO was pretty BS. Largely it came from him playing a game, and commenting that other people were trolling putting up swastika's etc...

                        Which I'll admit, he handled the criticism poorly, did mostly the wrong things because he found it more of a joke than a real thing. He rightly noted that one of the critics was JK Rowling, who he fairly pointed out had no business calling anyone such. When Charlottsville happened is when he actually gave what I considered a pretty sincere fair apology where he basically noted, "holy shit I thought I was being accused of something that didn't exist, I didn't realize that nazi's are actually still so prevelant in modern society so I wasn't taking things seriously.

                        Now afterwords him dropping the n bomb on a stream was pretty damn bad, though he apologized and admitted it. Still kind of falls into the fact that he'd been paid for years to join in games with a bunch of edgy teenagers, and at the end of the day if you spend too much time with a group of people, you are going to slip up and talk like them.

                        Again not calling him a great guy or anything, but I'd say everything in him strikes me as a kid that never grew up (because his life was basically set up encouraging him not to), didn't understand the weight of a lot of the things he was around, and made a bunch of childish stupid mistakes.
