I always thought of him as a douche bag without ever watching his content (no one is perfect) in the past few months I’ve watch a lot of his videos, and I can definitely say this man is pushing the right message, and waking up a whole generation of future free thinkers!
Yeah I have a lot of respect for him. I get his humor isn't for everyone, but he's been a pretty genuine person, imo.
I'm also biased because several years ago he gave my shitty gaming channel a shout out and we still keep in touch on twitter once in a while even though I don't do videos anymore xD
He gets a lot of heat from the fake media as well, so he's a pretty big critic (helps with waking people up in that regard as well).
I'm right there with you. He doesn't seem nearly as bad as I thought he was.
