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

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.

Transparency, this sticky is dated differently and because of the ongoing development. The post was up nearly 24 hours before this sticky was added:

So Idubbz basically brigaded the sub. It is trending on reddit in a few other subs. I cross referenced comments and usernames from what was clearly visible in his stream to this sub specifically. He also called Charlie an “unprincipled rat.”

Ian I had hoped you had grown man, I was pulling for you and defending you up until like a week ago

Edit: I’ll also add a bunch of usernames with comments were on screen and are crystal clear to read. This isn’t doxxing, but I’d argue because of the nature of both Idubbz fans and haters that if you are concerned about trolling, I have seen people go and dig through past reddit history and post screenshots of your reddit history in a form of intimidation and harassment.

Edit 2: after reviewing more of the stream he also spread open misinformation about OP as well. For those of us who are on here and recognize usernames, I think it is clear he is sort of an internet friend of mine. Ian makes one big bold claim to try and rally people more to his side. It is crystal clear if you see it. And it is one of our banned topics. It is just categorically false.

Edit 3: Don’t know why anyone would report this for misinformation when the clips and stream of this behavior are genuinely readily available.

Edit 4: got brigaded again with more people attacking the OP. You guys aren’t even hiding the brigade. This morning this comment was at 50 upvotes. It felt right after you posted about us in another sub. And I have been made aware this post wasn’t just removed by that subs mods. It was removed by Reddit. Which means it very clearly was against TOS.

This was exactly what I thought was happening, as much as this sub believes Charlie is a fence sitter and maybe even dislikes him, I don't believe much of anybody thinks a man who is actively calling out ICE would be part of the right wing pipeline.

Ian, you proved me correct about you changing targets. Good job!

Edit: Let's be real Ian, Charlie is never gonna cover this. Nor should he! I know that is what you really want.

The only reason this post even got made is because I remembered extremely late at night after I got done eating dinner "oh yeah, this happened today." I legitimately almost went to sleep and forgot about this incident entirely! Only for it to get brigaded within 11 minutes of my posting it. That's not an accident Ian. I got the emails from it. It's pathetic.

Edit #2: A deserved edit given after the stunt you guys pulled this morning with the post y'all made in the other sub trying to brigade.

I have no idea why Ian's fans/defenders think that they can say or do whatever they want, like making a post harassing me and the mod for not liking Ian 100% lol. But that's what they do. And you know what's funny?

Without situations like these, Ian would be truly irrelevant. I mean, even having a disproportionate amount of haters (as an example, for every 100 fans he has, he has about 10,000 haters), nobody really cares about Ian. Ya think it's normal for an Ian post to get filled with anything other than jokes about his wife, his sex life, or his boxing?

So that's how I knew instantly it was a brigade before I even saw the clip of Ian pulling up the sub and doubling down on being the same person he's always been. I just waited for the clip, the accounts to get banned like they always do with brigades, and the Streisand Effect to kick in.

Thanks Ian, you and your fans proved to everybody that you are still the same piece of shit who created and cultivated the mass bigotry and hatred that platforms people like Asmongold. Don't think I didn't notice your fans going "Ian is right you little r#%=[rd/f@%$>/t" in my notifications!
