"Moist Cr1tikal", aka. "pengiunz0", aka. as simply "Charlie", is one of the most popular and biggest "talk-to-the-camera" YouTube commentator and entertainer, with over 17 million subscribers and raking 1-2 million views per video pretty much without fail (and given that he uploads such videos several times a day, he is literally a multi-millionaire by that ad revenue alone, something that he has himself confirmed.)
He has always been known for his rational, smart, level-headed takes and commentary on stuff, be it video games, be it movies, be it some online drama, be it current real world events, be it funny videos, be it scams, and myriads and myriads of other various topics.
One key to his immense popularity is that he has always been politically semi-neutral. Not 100% neutral, not 100% avoiding recent politics and political drama, but what could be deemed as "semi-neutral", presenting level-headed reasonable comments and opinions on more minor political issues and, most importantly and crucially, for the most part staying out of the most controversial divisive current political topics.
But, I suppose all good things must come to an end eventually, and even neutral (or "semi-neutral") YouTube influencers just can't resist the allure, the siren song, of modern controversial politics forever.
I suppose the current infamous death of a protestor in Minnesota was his "Charlie Kirk moment" of sorts, where he finally snapped because of a particular tragic event, where he finally got fed up, where he finally decided that enough is enough, to end his "semi-neutral" take on politics, and fully embrace... you guessed it, the far-leftist side.
He is now repeating the same lies and distortions as every other far-leftist activist, with complete disregard to the actual truth. He finally decided to embrace his inner far-leftist-activist and let it all out. He clearly couldn't resist anymore. And now he is openly a full-on political activist and propagandist.
Sigh. And I used to enjoy his videos.
Well, I suppose nothing good lasts forever.
