Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Ian Danskin / Innuendo Studios
Innuendo Studios (power name being Ian Danskin), is an up-and-coming breadtuber, and by far one of the worst ones on Youtube. His videos typically go the route of constructing the largest strawman known to man, and trampling on it until it's simply a pile of straw. Despite this, he has gathered acclaim from various different news outlets, and it doesn’t seem like he’s going away anytime soon, with 264K subscribers and growing. His shrill brand of white wokeness was reason enough to deserve a thread, but while looking around for info, I found a few other things that are noteworthy about him.
I may as well begin with the obvious. Ian is polyamorous, which was one of the first red flags and reasons from me making this thread. He used to be in a loving relationship with Aida Manduley, and with quotes like these (archive), how could they not be made for each other?
He's not exactly quiet about wanting to defend his own degeneracy either.
Aida Manduley
His girlfriend, Aida Manduley, looks like a literal troll, but according to her website, she is actually a self-proclaimed SJW. Looking at her twitter, her bio says shes goes by they/them pronouns, and that she is nonbinary.
Twitter Twat
Speaking of Twitter, Danskin is also the type of person to block people on Twitter he disagrees with, and then bitches about it to Twitter Support. His Twitter header actually says “the block button is self-care.” Really says it all, doesn’t it? Be sure to post any other instances of him getting salty about the block button here.
Going through his Twitter gives us a lot of insight into what he's like as a person.
Here he is outright admitting he doesn't browse 4Chan. (Archive)
And here he is complaining about twitter's block system again. (Archive)
Here he is admitting that he wants to radicalize people to the left, despite saying that he wants to deradicalize right-wing people in his previous videos. (Archive)
And here we see him biting the hand that feeds him, while calling anyone who disagrees with him Nazis. (Archive)
And of course, he's a communist. (Archive)
Gamergate Oppurtunist
He used to be a relatively unknown content creator. After dropping out of the California College of the Arts, he worked on a few relatively unknown short films, until his YouTube channel gained momentum after a video where he talks about Phil Fish.
Enter his Kickstarter campaign, where he somehow got $10,000 from only 200 people. (Archive)
He has ties to people like Lindsay Ellis and the infamous Zoe Quinn, (Some links may not work, Archives 1, 2, and 3) and has talked to people involved in Gamergate. This makes me believe that one of the main reasons he is popular to this day is because he talked to the right people at the right time. Think about it, what benefit wouldn't people in Gamergate have by supporting this no-name creator in his quest to strawman every person who disagrees with him?
Miscellaneous (So, why else should we care about Ian?)
He is a self-admitted creep, who sexually harassed a game developer via email some time ago. (Archive)
He got exposed by people for this a while ago, and couldn't handle the heat. (Archive)
He also thinks that the Alt-Right is like an abusive relationship (also not making this up). This brings us to...
The Alt-Right Playbook
The Alt-Right Playbook is a series in which Ian interprets the strategies of the alt-right. Thing is, he has no idea what he's talking about, and that's what makes him funny.
Let's go through an example, his introduction video. Usually, you'd want to set a good impression on your audience, who come from a range of different backgrounds, and might be a bit skeptical of anyone who is perceived as an expert on the alt-right.
At around the three-minute mark, he literally labels anyone he personally dislikes (white supremacists, 4chan users, "people who use SJW ironically", etc.) as the alt-right. Already, you look like an imbecile, and you've alienated a lot of people from your content right off the bat. I think that this is intentional, because Ian isn't so much looking for public discourse, as he is looking to infect poorly argued propaganda into the heads of already liberal leftists in order to radicalize them further.
Don't believe me? Remember a tweet from earlier in this thread where he says he aims to radicalize people?
In the same comment section of that tweet, he said this:
Fortunately, he has such bizarre and outlandish takes on the alt-right that it's hard to take him seriously. Such as how in the first few minutes of a video, he insinuates that the alt-right are indoctrinating the furries. Other lines from the same video include calling people like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson the "future" of the alt-right, and trying to convince people not to engage with the alt-right, despite the whole crux of his video being that the alt-right need to be deradicalized.
No this is not a joke.
I highly suggest watching all of his videos, because it's a goldmine of either misinformation on the alt-right or easily manipulatable clips.

- He’s a Brianna Wu white knight who made an entire series about how everyone who is pro-gamergate is some fictional character made up in his head. Not only that, he has a history of sucking up to and talking with people from Gamergate.
- Said series and a lot of content on his channel was mostly funded by his Kickstarter campaign, which received $10,272 from 201 different people. That amounts to 50 dollars per person, which makes you wonder how he exactly convinced so many people to donate that much.
- He has a second series called The Alt-Right Playbook, where he fantasizes that the alt-right is this all-knowing power. It’s serious tinfoil hat conspiracy theory bullshit, and the worst part is that people are taking it seriously.
- He can dish out criticism, but can't take it (par for the course for Breadtubers, see parts of the Twitter compilation).
- He is also a cuck (no I’m not making this shit up).
I may as well begin with the obvious. Ian is polyamorous, which was one of the first red flags and reasons from me making this thread. He used to be in a loving relationship with Aida Manduley, and with quotes like these (archive), how could they not be made for each other?
Unsurprisingly, they've broken up a while ago.
He's not exactly quiet about wanting to defend his own degeneracy either.
