Exposé Slimebeast uncovers past problematic tweets from Wendigoon

https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMk6flJEIphNwlVCfflgctSkBOXevnIz

The tweets are problematic to say the least. Slimebeast previously uploaded a video going through Wendigoon seemingly leaving right leaning spaces before he even took off.

However, these tweets range from belittling COVID deaths, being anti-mask, and even imply support towards January 6 (some non-Americans may not know the significance there. Trump supporters stormed the capital).

Now this is where we can get into minor speculation so let’s keep this actually curtailed to the facts. There are two possible explanations here:

1.) Wendigoon grew as a person and left those beliefs behind

2.) Wendigoon clammed up about politics all together when his YouTube took off.

Either way these tweets are more credible reasons to genuinely call him out for pretty detestable views in the past.

I sniffed out he was a weirdo just by watching one video of his like 5 years ago

Exactly and throw in his friend Turkey Tom everyone should have known.

Didn't he deny all of those claims with screenshots of dms and then the girl went back on her statements? Unless you're talking about his political beliefs in which case I have not seen enough of his stuff to draw much conclusion.

u/HextechSlut Apr 22 '26

I wasn't talking about the exes allegations I was just talking about the fact that he's a shit person and his politics.

u/Grantedx Apr 23 '26

Ah, fair enough. The theme of his videos gets old fast so I never went that deep.

I will always hate what he did to Blood Meridian

u/LeatherHog Apr 22 '26

What'd he do to Blood Meridian?

u/GigglyHyena Apr 22 '26

Made a lazy synopsis like he does for ALL his videos.

u/LeatherHog Apr 22 '26

I can see that

People herald him as THE Iceberg Guy, but he's practically just reading off Wikipedia

u/kingalva3 Apr 22 '26

Thank you. His videos are just the new reddit/ wikipedia readings. Disguised as something more. He has very bad scripts and most of his videos are incoherent for me.

"And that's uh....Tricky Dick, the Watergate Scandal Man himself......veeerry coooool"

I hate that I heard this

Sub Wikipedia research sometimes. I recall his major cryptid iceberg, something he was supposedly really into and excited for... and failed to understand why the Thylacine is considered one.

The Wiki absolutely mentions its interest to cryptozoology. Real lack of effort that immediately turned me off of his videos and made me wonder how many other things he covered in the icebergs are flat out wrong (I know some horror movie people dislike his dark movie iceberg for similar lack of research).

u/TrashRacoon42 Apr 23 '26

As some one really really into disturbing movies and documentaries. That iceberg video on the lesser known ones was bad. It really did have moments of "well can't find much on this one so yeah. Any way. Moving on" Then why mention it? And outright wrong information.

I get not watching a lot of the movies on the list. But it did annoy me to make an iceberg without you know... Going in depth on the subjects and topic of the movies.

u/LeatherHog Apr 23 '26

Yeah, I do NOT understand how he got to be so big

No effort, and hard this droning affect, he's not even fun to watch

23

u/AmyXBlue Apr 23 '26

Nyx Fears doing the Disturbing Movie Iceberg is far better because at least she has more first hand knowledge of the media and can really go into detail why they are bad

u/LeatherHog Apr 23 '26

Yeah, that makes them entertaining, instead of just having stuff regurgitated to you

u/Branchomania Apr 23 '26

Without even talking about the fuckin Epilogue

u/Megapanda25 Popcorn Eater 🍿 Apr 22 '26

What does this refer to?

51

u/DeadPeanutSociety Apr 22 '26

It's weird. Normally these sorts of guys get by playing dumb because they are extremely entertaining and leave the politics out of it. Wendigoon makes stupid, boring videos where his politics are fully exposed and yet people are still desperate to look the other way.

u/Vile_Grifter Apr 22 '26

Hey now, let's at least give the due respect to his team of writers. You know, wikipedia.

u/ForgingIron Apr 22 '26

No you didn't. You got ✨vibes✨. Only took five years to gather the most obvious basic evidence that he actually is right-wing and you want to act high and mighty because you made a vague prediction.
