Yes, in addition to repeatedly platforming Larry Vickers (an incredibly racist Rhodesia stan) and a book by Azov Nazis, he ended up breaking a longtime friendship with InRange’s Karl Kasada because Ian tried to stay apolitical and ended up throwing Karl to the chud wolves, refusing to back his friend up when he was getting attacked on some gun forums because it would jeopardize a deal with the company that owns the forums
I just think it’s interesting how he collaborates with a Rhodesia larper and has connections in South Africa. I recall a twitter thread by Karl InRangeTV where he talked about this, but I dont think he mentioned Ian ForgottenWeapons by name, but it was heavily implied.
There was a falling out after ar15.com’s owner who also owns Brownell’s backed transphobic bigotry on the forum after Inrange Karl took issue with it. Brownell’s was selling the What Would Stoner Do rifle that Forgotten Weapons guy and Karl collab’d on, but during this drama they dropped the deal, and liquidated the WWSD rifles with promo code “triggered”. Karl asked FW guy to back him but all FW said was something lik “i look forward to doing business with brownell’s in the future.”
Is Forgotten Weapons guy a chud? Really hope not.

Garand Thumb also regularly collaborates with a Rhodesiaboo
If it’s the dude whos username is a play on “Executive Outcomes” then it’s the same guy.

KKKrakers don’t romanticize racist failures challenge.
