When was the last time you watched him? I started following him less than 1 year ago, and didn't get that impression at all. I did watch some of his old content, and found it pretty obnoxious, but he's one of the few commentators that addresses his past failures, faults, flaws, and outright fuck-ups. If you haven't seen recent content, you might have your perspective changed.

I pretty much agree with this assessment. My take from watching Vaush is that he is young, passionate, bull-headed, and sees himself as a protector. Vaush instinctually lashes out before statements are completed, leaving him open to critiques of straw-manning. ((However)), he is also honest and brutally self-reflective. He casts full videos attacking his past self. More recently, in his debates, I dare say, he seems constructive in his arguments. A sign that he is not starting from the childish notion that the other participants are of ill intent.

Vaush's comments about Kyle seemed to be more about attention seeking than genuine concern. Disappointed to see Kyle is humoring the toddler behavior.

I can take another look; however, I recall Vaush praising Kyle on multiple occasions. No matter the result, I predict this episode will expose far more agreements than disagreements.

Don't bother, I've watched plenty of him and they're just upset he dare challenge people they really like. I've been there myself, but he's been right on wayyy more of his arguments than the opposition has

EVERYTHING vaush does is attention-seeking. watching him debate literally anyone else on the left is painful. he just constantly spews ad-hominem, "gotcha", self-aggrandizing horseshit. i look forward to him reiterating to krystal's face his opinion on how how she (and rising) is a GaTeWaY tO tHe aLt-RiGhT since he's one of the terminally twitter addicted morons who's been loudly humping that bandwagon as well. anything to get himself more clicks and more engagement from the horde of emotionally stunted children who watch him religiously.
