I used to listen to this guy’s work (Pogo) before he went full racist, homophobe, and misogynist.

Bertke was criticized for a 2015 video that derided feminists as gold diggers and “making misogynist arguments against women’s rights”.[16] He later claimed that it was made “to impersonate the radical right”.[17]

In a YouTube livestream that was uploaded in 2016, Bertke stated that he has a “fairly robust resentment of the gay community”.[18] In the same video and on the topic of the Orlando nightclub shooting, a terrorist attack at a gay bar in Florida in 2016, he said, “It amazes me to see the West welcoming a culture through the floodgates that wants gays dead. I think that’s fantastic”.[19][20] Bertke later claimed to not have any hate for the gay community and also claimed Asperger syndrome and bipolar disorder as contributing factors.[21] He stated that the video was made in bad taste and that he never intended for it to go public,[21] although he also stated that he was trying to “impersonate the far-right and create hysteria”, noting that the video was made around the time of the 2016 American election.[22] YourEDM compared his “homophobic rhetoric” to the 2015 video, which he similarly tried to explain as a social experiment.[17] Writing for The Verge, Megan Farokhmanesh saw this explanation as a transparent attempt at plausible deniability.[16]
