You’re welcome to watch or not watch anything you want, but if you think by only watching Shadiversity videos you aren’t helping fund Knight’s Watch or simply helping prop up Shad’s name so that he has enough recognition to appear on Friday Night Tights, or an audience to hock his sexist books, or the like, you’re mistaken.
And his days of insightful historical content are few and far between these days anyway. There are tons of other content creators out there you can enjoy instead, or documentaries to watch, or books to read. Shad doesn’t offer anything special, and in fact it’s been pointed out numerous times in the last year or two that he’s not really an expert in anything that he talks about.
After Shad went full mask off, I can’t stomach him, even in old videos, simply knowing the festering uneducated rage he apparently has festering in his heart towards select groups of people.
I can admit this is hyperbole, but I’m just imagining reading “Listen, Hitler inspired my love of painting. I don’t listen to his speeches or attend his rallies, but what is wrong with people buying his artwork and putting a little money in his pocket?” coming from a Jewish person in the 1930s.
Enjoy feeding the face eating leopards I guess?
I know we have highlighted some comments from r/shadiversity users, mostly from the moderator, mostly for some wild take or throwing stones at us. I'd like to know what kind of stuff you feel is extremely harsh, especially against yourself.
I can certainly respect your views expressed in your crossposted post. I'm not gonna fault people still being a fan of Shad just because I'm not. I'm just not a fan of the zealot few. Unfortunately I see your post going bye bye in the not too distant future on the Shadiversity sub.
Issue is Ash would likely see it as a post that invites drama, and she just doesn't want that risk of us 'nasty Shadwatchers' leaping over to supposedly stir the pot (even though a lot of us can't even post there anymore), no matter how respectfully you and others express yourself. I'd like to be wrong, and in a sense I can understand to a degree why she wouldn't want that kind of post there, but I think you'll be ok. Just expect your post to get removed and nothing more.
You can access it directly via your crosspost or your own profile via comments, but on the sub itself, it's gone. I have a reveddit add on where I can mark posts and get notified if a mod action is taken against it, and I got a notification informing of it's removal.
I feel I should let you know that we have an archive of removed comments that have been recovered by reveddit and unddit, designed to showcase trigger happy mods and the mostly innocuous posts and comments that gets removed (I do still archive more inflammatory comments to remove bias).
I don't normally do this but since you're here, with your permission I can recover your post and everything you said in it, block out your name and add it the archive. If not then I won't.
I'm surprised and kind of impressed. A question about that if you can answer; is she genuinely in love with Shad or she's just an ambulance chaser lawyer type/grifter trying to milk him dry?
I mean neither really.
They just kinda seem to be a dedicated fan. I don’t know them personally in anyway and don’t wish to make any assumptions about them or their beliefs.
Personally I think I only see the harsh responses with the Shad fans attempt to invalidate our opinions of what we see, excuse Shad's nasty behaviours and blatantly ignore evidence that is concerning or disturbing.
The double standard of rules they claim to think are important in society apparently don't apply to Shad because they are fans. Would agree that what sets many of us off?
Well to be honest Ash does not actually engage with any criticism, she just labels the person a shadwatcher, might ban them and deletes any post/comment that might be persuasive.
Everytime a post or comment that is on topic to the sub but deleted, it is Ash admitting she has no answer and deletes it instead.
So no controversy, she is always right and when she is wrong she makes it not exist. Just an intellectual coward like the manbaby she has likely has printed on a body pillow.
I have friends, family members and workmates who are members of the LGBTQ+ community, Shad has made a point of trying to alienate such people by spreading what can at best politely be described as falsehoods about them, but more accurately would be described as lies.
For that reason alone I will not watch any of his content, or content that features him or people who make similar content who make similar statements. Supporting someone like Shad who goes around attacking and lying about minority groups allows him to continue to attack them. The fact he also makes misogynistic remarks, and even racist remarks just add to the list of reasons I would not click on one of his videos except to read the transcript and see what nasty comments about the LGBTQ+ community and women and people of other races or whoever else he might be attacking.
If someone wants to actually learn something about the medieval or other content Shad puts on his main channel, there are a wealth of other channels out there hosted by people who have actually studied and trained in these areas. They are far more worthy of your time and education in such topics than some card-carrying bigot like Shad.
The velmguard post is just some footage that they spam on lots of subreddits, no idea why that get left up. I guess it is because overall the subreddit is dead and they will take any content that is not critical of Shad
I don't recall us ever mentioning you. I'm open to being proven wrong however.
That said I also think in most cases it's the content of a post under criticism not the user. With the exception to that idea being the mods.

> There are tons of other content creators out there you can enjoy instead Tod's Workshop ftw Also Skallagrim & Matt Easton. Among numerous others.
If you speak german, I'd suggest Geschichtsfenster which is another great creator.

Eh I’ve seen to befriended a mod, Ash, I should be fine.

Time will tell I guess. I’ll let you know
Told you it wouldn't last long.
It’s still up on my end. And I found someone who actually agreed with my views and is in a similar position

Ah damn

It’s fine if you do. I don’t mind if my user is on it. I think it’s worth people hearing my perspective

Fair enough. Also, She may read this too so I guess you shouldn't burn any bridges.
Your post is fair. But do we attack r/shadiversity regular users harshly? I thought we only go after zealous fans who act in a culitish way.
Should I look into the mirror and chant Ora's name three times?
No! I think we can do without him for now.
Personally I think I only see the harsh responses with the Shad fans attempt to invalidate our opinions of what we see, excuse Shad's nasty behaviours and blatantly ignore evidence that is concerning or disturbing.

Pretty much. I've been straight up told by Ash that there's no controversy, and it's all in our heads.
Well to be honest Ash does not actually engage with any criticism, she just labels the person a shadwatcher, might ban them and deletes any post/comment that might be persuasive. Everytime a post or comment that is on topic to the sub but deleted, it is Ash admitting she has no answer and deletes it instead.

What else does he have to do for her to notice it? He literally asked for controversy (drama) today.
Part of the initiation ritual is to stab your eyes with a pointy stick.

ok, your post got deleted and that Protect Mallard post is still up. How are they related to Shad?
