most unsurprising cancelation ever. His whole schtick was being an impulsive, out-of-control drug and sex fiend.

[engineer_22]

That's not what he does on Youtube. His channel is focused on political and social commentary

[badcppdev]

The rape allegations are from before he was on Youtube. Some allegations date back to 2003.

[sleepybrett]

his channel is focused on woo and conspiracy.

[user3939382]

Yeah definitely not. 95% of what he's talking about is true and correct, it's largely about the systemic corruption in politics. If you think none of that is real your education on US government stopped at Schoolhouse Rock.

I don't know anything about Russell Brand but I am just browsing through his recent videos and yes it's very much woo and conspiracy. His latest videos, chronoligically (I won't be clicking any of them, so some are hard to assess),

* So, this is happening - appears to be about the scenario under discussion here

* Hang on, Biden 9/11 Speech Was A Lie?! - conspiracy nuttery

* Bill Gates Has Been HIDING This And It's ALL About To Come Out - with an anti-vax symbol in the thumbnail, conspiracy nuttery

* Hang On, Obama Did WHAT?! - hard to say what this is about

* So, Trump Just Said THIS About Vaccines And It Changes EVERYTHING - conspiracy nuttery

* So, They LIED To Hawaii Victims About THIS - conspiracy nuttery

* So… They Fcking KNEW It Was A Lie All Along - conspiracy nuttery

Tucker’s Countdown To WW3 Has Started… - doomer nonsense

* The FBI Have Been Harvesting Your DNA?! - conspiracy nuttery

* So… Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING With This Move - no idea

* Shoespiracy EXPOSED: The HIDDEN Truth Of The Shoe Industry - conspiracy nuttery

* So… Tucker Just COMPLETELY FLIPPED The Ukraine Narrative - no idea but sounds stupid as hell

I didn't cherry pick anything, this was purely chronological.

So you looked at a bunch of titles, didn't watch the videos, and then decided what the videos were about?

Is this how you go about understanding the world around you?

[mvdtnz]

If the videos that I listed are about something other than the title I would be interested to hear it. I sure as hell am not going to listen to a rapist talk about 9/11 and vaccines to verify it.

[jahsome]

What are you saying here?

[engineer_22]

Out of control drug sex fiend is not the topic of his YouTube channel.

[jahsome]

How does that relate to the allegations or OPs comment?

[dazc]

Conspiracy nuttery, mostly

[djohnston]

I think he talks about sobriety a lot, pretty sure he’s clean. Have you looked at any of his content or are you just emerging from 2007?

[hermannj314]

His YouTube channel had a bit too much JAQing for me, but definitely was not based on the characters he plays in movies.

[MuffinFlavored]

> JAQing

> Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: ""[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one's opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong.
