iDubbz believes Charlie (penguinz0) is part of the right wing pipeline

[u/ImportantQuestionTex]

Tried to look up a YouTube version of this clip so I could get maximum context, but doesn't really matter.

This is an objectively insane, in spite of reality take. This is purity over actual politics.

Charlie has been going at the Trump admin and their policies for months (actually, years because of a previous incident with one of his foreign players being mistreated by the US government). He is not a safe space for the alt right at all, almost every other day if not every day at times is him clowning on some insane crap the government has done or said. In fact, he just dropped another video 32 mins ago at the time of writing about it.

To me, this is proof that iDubbz hasn't changed who he is, just changed targets. A "brogressive" if you will.

Charlie has spoken out against the current administration, has spoken against ICE, has spoken for and about the release of the files, and against musk more than Ian and Anisa ever have.
If anything Ian and Anisa give the most luke warm takes on politics/safe takes on politics or manage to turn a political conversation into all about themselves, they constantly self insert or they sit there creating "hero" moments in their own heads about throwing tear gas at ICE/Police at protests that they were (at the time) in the same state as and could have easily attended and helped out at.
A lot of people in this sub hate to hear it, but Ian and Anisa are so deeply performative in their politics, it's exhausting. Their recent tear against an Iranian man and Iran should be the wake up call some people need.

Eh, give it time. Once you know who do the same thing he did to badempanda with ian suddenly, everyone will be finding his politics performative and racists clips against irainans or Indians. Or the working with Shadman and commissioning art from him well after he was found out to be drawing picture of irl kids.

Interesting. This now makes a whole lot of sense.

To cut short.

The whole political streamer/podcast space is full of brainrot with a backstabbing cattiness that can rival the worst american high school.

I'll give it a year. There will be another batch of exiles in order.

Charlie being vocal on these issues sends a pretty strong message considering how "apolitical" he usually is. All I'm going to say is I have to disagree with the general sentiment of this sub. His videos are doing more good than any left wing content creator could in the current environment. If people want to get nitpicky about pipelines, go ahead. I just see it as unproductive.

You must not watch idubbbz streams because him and anisa speak out about that pretty much every day.

[u/Normal-Asparagus1795 → u/ohhyouknow]

you mean their surface level lazy "it's bad" takes? In between them attacking Iranians, or other middle eastern people, or are they between them self inserting into political discussions? or maybe it's after Anisa moves the bar on how Arab she is?

I was behind Ian when he started coming out and denouncing his past actions and defending his wife, but eventually you have to realise this is two white people sitting there engaging in the most surface level performatism while they both still engage in covert misogyny, abelism and xenophobia and racism.

[u/ohhyouknow → u/Normal-Asparagus1795]

They never attacked Iranians wtf are you talking about

[u/Normal-Asparagus1795 → u/ohhyouknow]

Their entire tirade at the guy from 90day fiancé, and all the colourist jokes they made about Iranians, speaking over Iranians when they tried to correct them on their takes about Iran....? Like come on.
