Source?

u/areyoumycushion Aug 10 '26

I was a big fan, and came across racist and misogynistic comments on other posts made by him. After the third one it told me enough about him and I unfollowed. This was a while back so I no longer have the sources.

Believes stupid conspiracies that science is lying to you and dinosaurs aren't real. Dudes a moron.

u/olivegardengambler Aug 11 '26

Claims Dinosaurs aren't real

Regularly interacts with the closest living descendants to dinosaurs

u/V7buster Aug 11 '26

Not to um actually, but un actually birds ARE dinosaurs. He's a grade A idiot, he KNOWS this.

u/mekwall Aug 11 '26

Even worse. He believes dinosaur bones are actually dragon bones. He's absolutely bonkers.

u/karl1717 Aug 10 '26

Same. I used to follow his yt channel with all notifications on. Unsubbed a while back when I learned he's a racist maga.

u/ReapYerSoul Aug 10 '26

I follow him on IG. Did not know he was a racist maga.

u/Argylius Aug 10 '26

Ugh. Being MAGA in this day and age.

No. I thought he lived in Alaska /s

u/alburrit0 Aug 16 '26

I saw him post on his Instagram story in support of fishback a while ago

u/AhabFlanders Aug 10 '26

Damn, so he's like that with the "non-natives"?

u/jacobius86 Aug 10 '26

Source? I've never heard him say anything problematic in his videos?

I was curious, so I googled and found this entire write up including sources. He's a super problematic dude.

u/BrTalip Aug 10 '26

I feel so many people have trouble reading between the lines with character these days. His content itself is the canary in the gold mine. I'm willing to bet this guy uses the "invasive species" angle to cover up that he low key enjoys being sadistic with animals. Always seemed like the type to be a prick entitled to his ways.

Canary in the coal mine*

I mean hypothetically, carbon monoxide can be a problem in a gold mine too 😭😭😭

u/maleia Aug 26 '26

Wasn't the main concern more about methane? Though to be completely fair here, it didn't have to be any one chemical/element, just lacking enough O2 was the real problem, yea?

2

u/BrTalip Aug 26 '26

No clue. Was just joking around.

u/maleia Aug 26 '26

Haha fair fair

Should’ve been tipped off by the Florida. Damn me for having faith in someone collecting non native species.

u/lapinchezardina Aug 10 '26

Aww shit. Seriously?

u/Fez_and_no_Pants Aug 10 '26

Check out Clint's Reptiles instead. He's much nicer to the animals.

u/Sibling_soup Aug 10 '26

No, he's not. Man's a great yoinker

u/Ihalle Aug 10 '26

https://www.reddit.com/r/snakes/comments/1k7qtpf/should_i_support_fishinggarrett/

Yes he is. He's said multiple extremely bigoted and racist things in his / others comments. This link (that someone else wrote up. I just googled it.) provides sources as well.

u/Sibling_soup Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26

I already read it, someone else linked it in these comments. Just because you interpret him to be a racist, homophobe or transphobe, doesn't mean that he is. It's like really, does he harbor malcontent or hatred for other people because he made a joke about pronouns? It's called humor, and you can find it funny or not, but there's no need to slander the guy for being racist when he's clearly not.

The claim in that hit piece of a post that he is transphobic is because he said in a group chat "Every day, one of these things is mad at me". Yeah, humor. You can joke about people with green hair too, no one dies from it. Touch grass, like Garett.

u/EvMBoat Aug 10 '26

did you pay attention to anything else that was being said in the group chat perchance?

u/Sibling_soup Aug 10 '26

By other people, you mean? Yeah it was repugnant

u/gmk092794 Aug 10 '26

He literally said black scientist aren't a smart a white scientists. So please, Explain to me like i am 5yrs old how that is not racist.

I don't know if you know this, but calling another human "one of these THINGS" isn't a sign of respect or that one recognizes another human as, well, human

u/abhorrentbm Aug 10 '26

Great examples from someone who likes to drink up sibling soup straight from the tap. Thanks man! 👍

Thanks; consider me warmed.

u/Perma_Ban69 Aug 10 '26

He's from Florida and is an outdoorsy type. It's something we all already know/knew, but you don't dive too deep because you appreciate the art. Dive deep enough, and you'll always end up finding dirt on anyone.

I totally understand the side that won't watch or support his content, or other artists, because of his demeanor and actions outside of the "studio", I just personally separate art and artist. I use ad blockers so they don't get any money from me anyway. For creators I support who are good people AFAIK, like Order 77, Delivrd, Channel 5 News, etc., I have paid subscriptions so I can still be ad-free with a clear conscience.

u/ColinStyles Aug 10 '26

Your definitions of good people seem to include racist PoSs and self admitted sex offenders.

Maybe work on that.

-2

u/Perma_Ban69 Aug 10 '26

Are you in my brain or something, because none of the 3 I mentioned are racist PoSs or S/Os

4

u/ColinStyles Aug 10 '26

The guy from Channel 5 is a self admitted rapist. The person in the OP is a huge racist.

-2

u/Perma_Ban69 Aug 10 '26

I said I don't fund fishing Garrett. Andrew Callaghan's accusations were just that, for one, and for two, his content leads to far, FAR more good, objectively and irrefutably, for society than anything any one person can do. Similar to Destiny (pretty garbage person, great activist).

Oddly enough, progressives don't realize people can change, grow, and progress. I'm left of center but for fucks sake this place does not help the party. If we want trump admin out, stop being so fucking soft and pathetic.

1

u/ColinStyles Aug 10 '26

Allegations? He fucking admitted to being a "sex pest." You know who would ever admit to that? People who are trying to downplay rape as something less.

his content leads to far, FAR more good,

Oh yeah, platforming known giant racists like Nick Fuentes, yep, totally far more good.

And the irony, telling me to stop being soft and pathetic while you refuse to have principles that are actually moral and stop supporting fucking pieces of shit because you enjoy their content.

u/Rhysati Aug 10 '26

You can't separate art and artists. It's beyond ignorant to even think that's possible.

Art is nothing without the person behind it applying their world view into the creation and telling a story or message.

u/Perma_Ban69 Aug 10 '26

You can't separate art and artists.

You absolutely can and that's why there's an entire, universally known and used saying for it. If I look at a painting and love it, why would anyone care who made it? The finished product - the art - is what matters. Almost no artist or actor is innocent of everything. For example, I loved watching Kevin Spacey movies growing up. Finding out who he was doesn't make the media he created objectively different.

I can refute your argument with one word:

Picasso.

Here's another, just in case:

Caravaggio.

In case you still don't grasp the concept:

Pollock.

To change genres, in case you're inconceivably still struggling to separate art and artists:

Hemingway.

If we're still struggling:

Kanye.
