I've never heard of this guy and I do like well made Youtube history videos so I looked it up.

I did find a reddit thread. I think this comment sums up the sentiment there (although I haven't seen his specific words):

https://old.reddit.com/r/Shadiversity/comments/10sbcts/tldr_...

> Personally: his prejudices against gay people and his tendency to jump to the conclusion that something is "woke" simply because it mentions a subject left-leaning people are concerned about.

> (See the "knights watch" reviews of the new The Last of Us series for examples.)

> I (a bisexual man) always found his material on historical practices and weapons, as well as his fantasy theory videos to be extremely entertaining and convincing.

> But his views when it comes to pop culture are often his prejudice worded in a way that deflects criticism.

> Comparing gay representation in the last of us, as if it was a foot fetish and having someone suck and/or lick toes in media. (see episode 3 of knights watch the last of us review)

> I'm not going to claim hes homophobic 'because' he's mormon christian conservative. But he is homophobic, and a mormon christian conservatve.
