    "Your media"? "You guys"? My guy I'm not right-leaning. I'm not even American, and if I was I would've wanted Bernie in charge. But I've seen a lot of times people facing backlash for stuff like that. Those news get on mainstream media as well (talking mainly about Kobayashi, Oyamada fits the definiton too but that's way less excusable). Not to mention, if you follow content creators online you get to know about the backlash firsthand (like with the dumb #Jojisoverparty that luckily didn't gain traction).

      For someone who isn't right leaning, you're pretty good at sharing text book right wing talking points. If the American propaganda machine were a boat, the online content you consume would be in it's wake. Further, it doesn't matter if you don't watch the propaganda directly if you're watching "content creator's" who watch it and then relay the information to you in an easy-to-digest "here's how you should think about this" 20 min video.

        What “text book right wing talking points”? That cancel culture is mostly bad, when they push to ban books because they mention gay people existing? They love it as much, if not more, than the left. Even if they might’ve “coined” the term, it’s very much a bipartisan issue.

        And no, I’m not talking about that kind of “content creators”. I’m talking people who don’t talk about politics at all and get their comments stormed by people complaining because they found a tweet from when they were like 15 using the n-word.
