Like a lot of people here, mine's JonTron.
Legit loved his videos so much, probably one of the few YouTube personalities I watched and enjoyed. Like when the news first started coming out, I thought people were overreacting simply because I knew the dude was kind of an asshole IRL, but then when all the shit about blacks being more disposed to crime than whites, needing to preserve our genetics, etc. started happening, I knew I couldn't support his content anymore so I unsubbed and haven't watched any of his videos since.

Moriarty was someone I disagreed with, but he articulated himself well and took an educated approach. I can disagree with someone who takes an educated and well thoughout approach, but still like or respect them...
Then he bought too much into his own hype and started taking "Atlas Shrugged" a little too far, resulting in his views becoming less educated and more spoiled brat. His echo chamber support didn't help and him leaving Kinda Funny to form CLS, which I am assuming is more echo chamber bullshit, just sort of shows where he exists now. Just a shame no one on Kinda Funny cared enough about politics to actively engage him and call him out on his shit.

The Krystal shit was annoying, the Me!Me!Me! thing soured me even more, and the Overcooked solidified the fact that he's an overgrown spoiled child in my mind. The sexual harassment stuff pushed me over the edge even more, now I regret ever watching or listening to his shit.

I didn't know much about these views (although I caught some hints in his really weird tangents when reviewing "Dishonored 2".), but damn, this is a fucking bummer.
That bit about the "Hero/Damsel" trope. Like, what? The men have it worse in that trope? What?

Growing up gay is just a series of shit like this. You come to realize that a lot of the people you liked/looked up to as a kid fucking hate you for something you have no control over.

Same here. I was a huge fan of his work.
I found out he was shit person after he made his Trump remix last year. People in the comments section were criticizing him, saying that he was making light of a horrible human being. He started replying to those comments with the usual alt-right bullshit, calling people "SJW's" and making "lol libtardz triggered" comments - and all this shit came outta nowhere. Up to that point he seemed like a really cool dude. I was really, really bummed out about it, un-subbed from his channel and never looked back.

Most of my coworkers, especially the operators.
I'll walk into the control room, see Drudge Report or Breitbart up on their laptops and then just sigh inside.
Coworkers who seem nice like to talk politics on drives for no really good reason at all and then I find it's basically just FOX news talking points as usual which I debate on a good day and just ignore on a bad one.
Ech.

I didn't even notice Pogo's Youtube URL was "Fagottron" until someone here pointed out the name of his link.
That Picard and Data remix used to bring me so much joy.
When he first started on YouTube, "Fagottron" was his the actual name of his channel too (though he still went by "Pogo" as a DJ). It wasn't until a couple of years ago that he changed the name of the channel itself to Pogo.
I thought Sam Hyde's fake TED talk, and a few other things by MDE, were funny and rather evocative of Tim and Eric, whom I also like.
I always had an inkling that they leaned conservative but the 2016 election and whole Adult Swim controversy pretty much removed any interest I had in them.

Came here to post these. Dan Simmons turning out to be a complete nutjob was especially disappointing, I loved Hyperion.
Wow, Pogo is my new milkshake duck of the day I guess. I remember his slightly odd YouTube username but I never really saw him work any homophobic sentiment into his work. Apparently his blog is like a keyword grab bag of right wing fear mongering labels. The snippet posted here reads like it was copied verbatim off of r/T_D.
Even crazier that Disney lets him personally manage his social media accounts where he's openly attacking people. Dude should stick to his blogs.

still bummed about R kelly, yeah we knew about gross shit for ages (how did the aalyiah thing fly under the radar so long?) but like with burress & cosby, it's all out there in the open.
i love dude's music but fuck is it tainted now
yeah this is true for beck & others but while i hate the balls off scientology i don't view these celebs with the same contempt as actual bigots, since a number of them were indoctrinated at a young age. getting into it when you're older for connections & such and pushing their abusive shit like you don't know any better sucks though.

That sucks about Elisabeth Moss that she's a full on Scientologist. I've seen her in person at a Queen Of Earth Q&A and asked her a question. What a shame.

Wait, Hannibal Buress? What happened with him?
think he just means hannibal brought cosby's shit into the mainstream
He made jokes about what was essentially an open secret in Hollywood circles about Cosby.

exactly right - you might've heard a thing or two before, but after hannibal's stand up about it, the floodgates burst open & anyone that's not kanye has to know the truth at this point
Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice and many Japan related (especially yakuza) articles on the internet. I read the book thinking it was pretty interesting if a bit embellished, but a few years back I read some stuff that made it seem like he was a giant liar and a creep - and looking more closely at some of the stuff he writes, it really does come across as nonsense and fabricated.
There's this "yakuza playing Yakuza 3" article written by him linked on GAF sometimes that I get irritated when I see now because it's most likely BS.

I think this might be the reason I don't have many milkshake duck moments. Being in the closet kind of trains you not to trust people's personalities at face value.

He went under the main moniker of 'Faggottron' for so long before getting contracted that that doesn't surprise me.
Laci Green for sure. Figuring out that she was one conservative boyfriend away from what's she's doing now was incredibly disappointing.
On a similar and more personal note, my older sister. She's dedicated the last 20 years of her life as a defense attorney for battered women and children, and it's something that I've really looked up to her for.
My mom told me last November that she supported Trump in the election, and that she thought Hillary was "just too terrible" to support.
There have been other ducks, but these two really helped me understand why PoC in the US can't trust white progressives to have their backs.

I'm aware of the Overcooked stuff and harassment fallout after that, but wht about those earlier things?
The Krystal stuff was him openly acknowledging to masturbating to Krystal from Star Fox as a kid. I don't know the latter, but it seems to be some anime meme thing.

Yeeeeaah, that's a cop out and I'm gonna have to call bullshit on it. Please show me which comic anywhere in 2005, on the internet or otherwise, was using the terms "nigger" "spook" "chink" "slant-eye" "sand nigger" or "spic" and make sure your example isn't from the back of a Klan newsletter. All these terms were lifted from that one single comic page. Mike also claims he tried to get them published but no one "had the balls" to publish them. He thinks this shit is totally acceptable, as if the complete lack of any punch line wasn't offensive enough.
And that's not even touching his fascination with HIV/AIDS jokes:

I definitely did not know about these comics before this thread.
There's literally no point to them other than trying to shove as much racist stuff into eight panels. If "PC culture" is supposedly killing "humor" like this then I'm happy for it.

Same, for a moment I though "oh fuck no, he's a right wing dirtbag too? noooo"
also do some googling to find more.
He apparently has a thing for hiring young women with no experience to work as his "assistants" (which I'm sure is totally innocent) and tried to sue National Geographic for some reason.

He shills HARD for the government. Chan has a history of parroting the Communist Party's stances on many things (for example, by claiming that Beijing's air pollution doesn't exist).
Oh.
Well does he share any biases towards any particular races?
Long as he doesn't have any beefs with any kinds of people I can probably tolerate it.
The type that goes on Alex Jones to talk about chemtrails, fluoride in water and any conspiracy that involves systemic control of a population. He went full new-age weirdo in the early 2000s.
Not to mention in his private life it seems obvious he is just kinda shitty in general to people around him since his stable of yes-men changes every year or two lately.
Made some damn good music though.
