Pretty recent news so I figured I'd share it here. Battletech youtuber Tex (of Tex Talks Battletech) was invited to talk about Battletech on Arch's channel.
Arch is a 40k lore youtuber and so-called Nazi fascist according to GW's contingent of leftist fans.
The leftists get wind of this video and start harassing Tex over this to the point he felt compelled to write an apology post.
You can see discussion over his appearance on Twitter but in the few minutes I searched I couldn't find any egregious examples. Probably just not looking in the right places because I'm not involved in Battletech or 40k.
Tex isn't pozzed but he's completely apolitical so he was completely blindsided by the "Warhammer is for everyone" crowd
Anyone who gets Tex angry deserves to be shot repeatedly with a Heavy Gauss Rifle at point blank range. Despite (or maybe because of) being a whisky soaked gun nut, his Battletech lore videos are absolutely amazing quality. Seriously, check out his videos if you have any interest in giant murder machines.
Also, I just find Tex to be one of the most wholesome youtubers out there, and seeing the nutjob mob come after someone who seems like a genuinely nice, caring guy is even more disgusting than usual.
On the plus side, he does seem smart enough to realize that trying to appease the mob is pointless. In the response to this on his Patreon he ended it essentially by saying "If you're upset, then just get up and leave quietly. If you want to stay around and keep supporting, thanks."

Never appease the troon goons. Youve already been identified as irreparably damaged and somebody to eliminate, appeasement will only weaken their position and embolden them.
I imagine this must all be a huge shock to Tex. Being apolitical, I'm sure his mindset is very pre 2010s. Apologies actually mean something, you can talk to someone even if they think differently (not that it even matters), and you're just glad someone's into the same thing you are no matter who it is.
I don't hold it against him for apologizing. I would've done the same before Gamergate redpilled me and I'm sure many others here would've done the same. We were fighting under the rules of the last culture war, not this current hellscape we're in.
I will say this at least: It looks like his audience can smell whats going on, and most of them are telling him "You have nothing to apologize for. These people are psychopaths." So I imagine Tex made a sincere apology, but if they keep gunning for him, he will just tell them all to eat shit, since I am sure he can see most people are on his side over this and telling the trolls off.
Well, I found this in the twitter search lmao
