The 8-bit guy is controversial. From VICE's article ( https://www.vice.com/en/article/8-bit-guy-ibm-7496-executive-workstation-computer-reset/ ) "[...] touting open carry in Texas, antagonizing the anti-gun Moms Demand Action nonprofit, and statements about gun control that have made many fans question whether they can keep watching his computer content."

    Only thing is he is very aware of this and has since stopped posting content like that, nearly a decade ago, and has removed any of it from his channel, and never talks about it.

    He went overboard, seemingly realized his screw up, and stopped with the gun crap. I wouldn't be following him if he was still posting the gun stuff, but that was even before I found him in 2017.

    Unlike a lot of those kind of gun people, he at least seems self aware. Again, this is only since I've started watching his content in 2017. No idea how had it was prior to that.
