    For those who don’t know, Wendigoon is a creepy lore youtuber.

    He’s also sometimes been acredited with creating the aesthetic of the boogaloo boys, not sure how true that is.

    As far as I’ve heard, his videos are fairly consistent with documentation of the events he covers, such as the unibomber, the MLK assassination, etc.

    It’s very funny to think he wasn’t radicalized before the printer situation.

      Yeah, he has a… questionable history, what with the “boogaloo boys” memes, but he stopped engaging with that pretty quickly around the time it became associated with Actual Nazis instead of semi-ironic government-hating libertarians.

      He is not exactly radical, he is not a fan of the government and loves a good conspiracy.

      He also is a devote Christian, but not a dick about it.

      He, by all accounts, is a wonderful person that everybody who knows him loves.

      I don’t really know anything about him, but I just checked out his channel and I don’t really think that’s true since its only 3 years old

      I heard it’s taboo to talk about the monster he’s named after outside some very specific cultural circumstances. Can you confirm?
