But here’s the thing. He said some things in that video that are going to piss off a lot of gatekeepers: that he’s most comfortable with queer, that the word he has trauma around is gay, that acephobia is bad, that we should respect microlabels (”mogai labels”). What this means is that there are probably a lot of very angry exclusionists going through all his past activity as we speak to dig up something they can use to discredit him. If he’s had a significant internet presence since 2009, they will find something.

The reason I’m saying this is that you may very well see some extreme and sensationalist accusations about him suddenly coming to light. Before you believe or spread them, you have to find out what the evidence is, what the context was, whether the facts actually support the specific accusations that are being leveled, and whether the op has any motive to fabricate it, exaggerate about what happened, or exclude important details. 

We’ve seen this happen to other queer youtubers after they said things that exclusionists didn’t like, and I don’t want to watch it happen again. Be careful.
