    No need to play it up, it’s fucking vile and if you don’t see it you should get the fuck out of queer spaces. It would be better if he ever acknowledged his shit takes, but he always doubles down, and then later hopes people just forget or tries to act like he meant something different

      Vaush constantly goes over his shit takes. Literally I’ve watched him break this clip down live on stream more than 5 times. And all of the other clips, too. After explaining what he meant, he often does double down. He aims to become more rhetorically effective, without ever compromising his moral consistency.

          No, the source is a fucking livestream. His VODs are on youtube, and you can search like “vaush reviews clip from 2015” “vaush reviews thoughtslime clip” and probably find some of his explanations. But no Im not here to make you a vaush viewer, Im talking in this thread so that vaush’s bullshit doesnt reflect too poorly on his community members that make this instance home.

              Yeah I think this probably the best one. He actually recently re-reviewed this segment but I don’t think much was learned from it. Btw, I was there when he said the N word. He used it on a far right stream, and basically they wouldn’t say it, and then admitted to using it at home in private all the time. It made them look like complete pussies in front of their ravenously racist audience. I was in that far right audience, and that was the turning point for me getting off the alt-right pipeline.
