    Ahhh, Dovahhatty - the singlehandedly most bigoted YouTuber I saw, who checked every singly offensive checkbox there is, but damn were his videos about the Late Empire epic

    (And still I wish he would’ve made them not bigoted)

      Was it just bigotry against barbarians, or real people actual ethnic groups? I only know Dovahhatty by some kerfluffle where he ended up taking down some video on the Jewish-Roman Wars because neonazis were flooding the comments and using it for their own, less civilized purposes, or something like that.

        Mhh, he used basically every Jewish stereotype known to me to portray the Jewish Uprisings. But Jews were pretty prevalent throughout the history of the Empire anyway, so even through he took down some of the videos the stereotypes still are present in his videos.
