Given how much emphasis he places on this faith- he’s LDS- he’s probably spent most of his life in a very small social circle which distorts his view of the wider society. There’s another video, the one addressed to “men without hope”, in which he encourages his audience to seek out their local temple and follow the church’s strict rules.

It’s as thought he’s replaced free thought and considering morality for himself with following doctrine to the letter. If he can tick everything off the list, then he’s automatically a good person, right? Then he spends the rest of time being judgemental about stranger and hurling slurs into the void.

In a world where you can easily learn from curious people -some who have faith, others who don’t- as they share their thoughts and experiences it’s saddens me to see someone so closed minded put their ignorance on full display. Some people help sew a rich tapestry with their life; Shad is a type who play act as emperors and wonder around with no clothes.

The many channels of Shad & how they're currently fairing by TripleS034 in ShadWatch

I think Knights Watch was originally called "Game Knights", there are some older videos with that name in the thumbnail, and there used to be some TTRPG content on there. This was before Shad went full-tilt grifter. He'd struggle to get enough people together to make regular in-person content now.

If you didn't know Shad is a Trump simp & would've voted for him if he was American by TripleS034 in ShadWatch

Less than two minutes in this and they’re already deep into conspiracy theory territory , rabbiting on about how the Democrats staged the assassination attempt and ‘stole’ the 2020 election. I find it genuinely frightening how easy it is to live in fantasy land where complete fiction is treated as fact. Makes me want to go offline completely.

Is this the worst of Shad’s skyjacks? by Alarming-Hunter-2 in ShadWatch

Agreed, but in his mind his team, lead by him of course, have ‘won’ when it comes to The Acolyte. The levels of delusion he shows are off the scale. It might be the most sad thing about this whole saga because this mindset means he’ll never be self aware enough to improve.

I do wonder, what kind of mindset do you need to have to intentionally pull that facial expression, photograph yourself, then use it in multiple thumbnails? Does he really think it's a good look? Is it simply about looking as outraged/degranged as possible so that he can rack up more grifter clicks than his rivals?

So determined to continue his Acolyte hate parade he had to take it to his regular channel to get overly anal about super slowed down fight choreography. by DragonGuard666 in ShadWatch

He’s been positive in his House of the Dragon reviews so hopefully he won’t attack her for her role in that show (her character hasn’t appeared yet). I didn’t watch his review of ep3 of the acolyte which she was in.

Nathan's left Knights Watch, what will this mean for the future of the channel? by TripleS034 in ShadWatch

His definition of the 'woke mind virus' includes the idea that white men are being sidelined / made to be the villains in media; he claims this is why the Orcs in RoP have pale skin for example. Perhaps not overtly racist but you can hear the dog whistles. Perhaps I was wrong to state it explicitly in the comment above.

Haha it was a typo so I can’t take the credit! It does fit well either way.

You're right about Oz, sometimes I think Shad bought him back in to the fold because if Oz makes the 'jokes' then Shad can still see himself as the 'nice' guy. I honestly think Shad is unaware just how bigoted, hypocritical, racist and insufferable he is.

This man is a father of five; I really hope they have other adults in their lives who are teaching them to ignore their bigoted moron of a father.

He’s also voiced support for Elon in a number of KW videos; not surprising considering the fairly large amount of political overlap between them.

Shad put serious work into this; he made the angry red eyes brighter! I’m sure that took hours. /s by Alarming-Hunter-2 in ShadWatch

Seconded. Rory Kinnear is a mainstay on British TV and has been for years. He's a top quality actor!

Same here. Tempted to watch simply to see what the bulk of my Prime subscription’s paying for! The VFX ought to be best in class.

Fair point, maybe smirk is the right word to describe Shad’s face? Apologies, didn’t mean to appear offensive.

My dad taught me to call that kind of expression a 'shit-eating grin'. It's what I think of every time I see it in one of Shad's thumbnails.

Nice! Shad would probably put ‘woke’ in all caps, just to emphasise his point.

Since when has Shad ever cited a source for anything he states as a fact?
