I'm speaking of the Democrats, not the media.



You just hate vegan gains because you can't reconcile being an animal lover and killing/eating them. He triggers a lot of meat eaters.


He's an edgelord that gives off a creeper vibe

he's a part of the problem with the youtube vegan community focusing on drama and attention whoring instead of the issues

Idk man seems weird to create motives for people taking a news story seriously when it's clearly the most significant news story of the moment.

Even if they didn't have ulterior motives they'd be doing roughly the same thing.

Not really, cause I dislike the furious pete cancer videos and don't even watch them. He's roundly criticized for them, but his other videos are solid.


It does though, because those views are additive to the amount of revenue he makes. Which is what drives him to continue his videos. I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet tbh.

If it was just a boring defense of veganism no one would watch it. His informative videos are great too. His edge is what makes him hilarious when attacking fake vegans on youtube, or Joe Rogan, or some of the popular youtube fitness people.

Most of his videos have a very high percentage of likes vs dislikes. His furious pete ones don't, it's clear they turn people off. It's like saying you are supporting Kanye's shit albums by buying his solid albums. The creators know what content is more popular.

He's an obnoxious attention whore that does what all attention whores on youtube do which is latch on to the flavor of the week and try to out obnoxious the rest of the attention whores for views

some do with fashion or video games and some do it with veganism. It's a small community that is overrun with creepers like vegan gains and it's not informative it's an injustice to a movement that should be about lessening overall suffering not increasing it with online bullying and harassment and all the other shenanigans that vegan gains is involved with to try to get clicks and views to his channel

Vegan Gains has enough broad appeal that an unapologetic meat eater like myself watches his videos. A big portion of his subscribers are lifters too. I get that his shtick isn't your type of entertainment, but I find it absolutely hilarious. He didn't jump on a bandwagon, he was in the right place at the right time.

I'm not trying to dictate your entertainment I'm just saying that his latching on the vegan movement to do his attention whoring is an injustice the movement

he largely backed away from the bodybuilding part when he realized those shenanigans were gonna get him stomped at a bodybuilding event eventually so he went deeper into the vegan rabbit hole where he was safer from physical retaliation for his shit spewing

It's really not though. His no bullshit videos have convinced a lot of people to reduce their meat consumption or go vegan. I've cut meat consumption myself because of his informative videos on the health consequences of eating meat. Sometimes people need a kick in the ass to change their habits, and Vegan Gains gives it at times.

He still does worst of the fitness industry vids at times and he posts lifting videos. He's no coward, he confronted a couple bodybuilders he talked shit on a while ago.
