And on the other hand, Karl Jobst has always been very well researched in his videos, so I'm a big torn here. Definitely going to keep an eye on this and see where it goes before making my own conclusions.
He's also someone who hangs around with nazis which is wild. He backed away from them when it all came out but then got chummy again so I got the fuck away from his content. Which is decidedly in the outrage bait genre these days.

Are we talking about RWhiteGoose here?
I mean... Goose is still prominent in the Goldeneye speedrunning community, and was only banned from The Elite for about a year before he was welcomed back. Jobst made his name speedrunning the same game, even managing to get some uncontested world records.
edit wild how lemmy supports nazis now
Lemmy isn't supporting Nazis, you're being downvoted because making accusations without sources is just yelling into the wind. "Just Google it" and "do your own research" is synonymous in practice and adds nothing to the conversation and only is rumormill level gossip.
Provide links to some sources if you have some legit concerns, because that's definitely news to me.
i guess supporting nazis is more important than typing two words into a search engine
https://imgur.com/a/X7qLRXa have fun, i hope you regret at least a little
I want to be clear, and you should too - RWhiteGoose is a legitimate nazi, and Karl Jobst is his friend and supporter.
edit, yes lemmy supports nazis. here's your links and yet still.
Firstly, these screenshots are from The Elite's and RWhiteGoose's own Discord servers. He was part of the site's council that effectively moderated Goldeneye speedrun records and set precedent for new rules, hence why they didn't do anything until this all came out.
Secondly, Karl barely took part in discussions on these servers. Of the 150 screenshots, he appears in a grand total of one where he debates the taboo surrounding white people saying the n-word with Goose. He even addressed the interactions he had with Goose and all the allegations made against him by Tomatoanus and others in a video.
Which he's already debunked?

https://youtu.be/3_jcpig-C2s?t=245 as I said before, debunked. Understandable you got swept up in the fray but he was just as disgusted as you are.
none of that is debunked, he's just trying to worm his way out of it. the correct thing to do when you find out someone is a nazi is to cut them out. he doesn't, then he tries to say i'm just trying to help him be a not nazi by promoting and featuring him in my videos.
you're a fool to believe that for a moment, especially when it comes from him.
i want to be incredibly clear here, nothing is debunked. he said what he wants to say, you choose to believe him at face value.
You have been incredibly clear, and so has he. He is clear on his disgust and why he chose to help him rather the cut off all ties and whilst I would not do the same myself I do not condemn others who try to.
But so far there has been no evidence that he supports or sympathises with any Nazism ideals or ideas which to me is the breaking point.
If there is something I have missed then please show me but I have not seen anything to the contrary.
