    I was actually wondering if they were saying he was lgbt or he just had a disproportionately gay fan base presumably because of his Leftist views.

      Little of both. He made quite a few references to being bi in the plagiarism video because the meat of it was about a very popular LGBTQ+ YouTuber. I know, still sounds dumb, but the internet being what it is, he probably felt somewhat pressured to mention it lest he be accused of being homophobic. Thankfully, most of said YouTuber’s fans who had much to say about it didn’t level too much ire at Hbomberguy for the callout.

        Also the guy Hbomberguy was going after had dismissed criticism (and been supported by their fanbase) because the person doing the criticizing wasn’t LGBTQ+.

        The whole video is very conscious of “if you try to shoot the king, you better not miss”, and holy shit he didn’t just break out the atomics he showed all the math.
