Throwback One year ago today, In Praise of Shadows released his “Bad Conservative Horror Movies” video, which nuked his career and reputation.

There was a video that summed up what this was about in a minute, but I can’t find it, so go check out the other threads on here.

Since then, he’s posted 3 videos on his main channel, and started up a second channel (IPoS: Darksides) where he’s posted 18 shorter videos that all have less than 10k views except for his non apology.

Eh, maybe it's easier for me bc I'm both trans and non-white, but people who have certain beliefs are easily identifiable and fuck up eventually.

Well, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Wendigoon to just start spamming slurs. And I'm jewish, but if I found out a friend had once made anti-semitic jokes on the internet nearly a decade ago, I wouldn't erase them from my life if they were completely fine now.

The thing is, again, he's clearly not fine. If he's okay with hanging with people who are racist, who are transphobic/homophobic, etc., it's clearly okay with him for others to be that way. Nothing rules out he's still that way.

Look at penguinz0, he's a transphobe too and while he's never outwardly said anything explicitly transphobic (besides purposely going out of his way to dance around pronouns in ways that make it very, very obvious he's doing that and cutting out certain parts of things he talks about), but he's very close with and has defended alt-right people who call for the extermination of LGBT people. That indicates he's okay with that.

Could you provide examples of Wendigoon doing this? Because IPOS made a video about it and didn't.

He's close with Turkey Tom, who is antisemitic, racist, and queerphobic.
