First off, I wanted to say I rather enjoy Jason's commentary on serious news. His videos helped me get into Marxism back around 2011-2012. This is NOT intended as any kind of shitpost attacking him.
However, I've been growing weary of him ever since he made a video back in 2013 claiming he was going to analyze "the trans issue" from a "dialectical materialist" standpoint. He never made the video itself as he chickened out after being pressed on it. Recently though, a few incidents regarding his behavior on Twitter have irked me to the point where I have to ask: why the FUCK doesn't he just give his opinion on gender? The two incidents in question were 1. his bullying of anarchopac (who recently came out as a trans woman) and 2. the fight he was having all last night with Muke where Muke (being as annoying as he is) did the right thing by asking Roo to clarify his stance on transgender issues.
Roo used to have TERF fans, and one would think this is where his reluctance to talk about the subject comes from. However, Roo has also made videos in recent months attacking feminists, defending masculinity, and writing off "SJWs" as "first worldism". Now, while their theory definitely has its problems, when TERFs attack trans, they do so out of the position of gender abolitionism. They see gender (masculinity and femininity) as inherently problematic. When right-winger attack trans, they do so for the *opposite* reasons in that they want to make the gender boxes stricter. If Roo isn't advocating gender abolitionism, than his "critique" of transgender identities is nothing more than bigotry, not feminism. If he wants to write off concerns for trans people as "first worldism" then he's also wrong given that the gender binary as we know it was virtually non-existent outside the West until the advent of colonialism, and even today you see flourishing trans rights movements in several third world countries.
So again, what the fuck is he hiding if he's gone this long without revealing his actual views?

Roo is trash.

It's so obvious Jason is the brocialist version of a TERF. He's totally okay with degrading and objectifying women, but he still holds to his old transphobia, and not within a "gender abolitionist" framework, as TERFs do. Jason's "critique" of trans-politics is super right-wing. RadFems base their critique of trans-politics and the Butler brand of gender theory on their radical "gender abolitionism." Some RadFems also say that they'll accept trans-women as women but not as females, for example.
Jason's transphobia stems from his former friendships with notable outspoken TERFs like NuclearNight, aka Terri Strange, whom Jason is tweeting at in this screencap, and DollSnatch. I'm surprised Jason has stuck with his transphobia to be honest. He's not much of a feminist these days. Again, he'll degrade and objectify women and defend the virtues of masculinity and the gender caste itself, but he'll bash transgender people for reinforcing gender.
Jason still claims to be a feminist though, albeit a "Third-World feminist," i.e. fuck First-World women.
FYI, I'm a trans-woman myself, so please don't accuse me of defending TERFs. I'm just explaining this so-called "gender abolitionist" position: they see gender as being a kind of societal caste system, designating certain roles for males and females from birth. They seek to destroy this "gender caste system" entirely. Jason, on the other hand, appraises masculinity.

*Roo is trans.

He conveniently came out as bisexual after he was called out for making homophobic remarks over FB.
Nathaniel Hall
I'm a former friend of Jason's, and I can confirm that Jason expressed an interest in cross-dressing to me. He wanted to wear one of his mom's skirts and experiment with makeup. He could very well be in the closet.
Noah Hernandez
Sounds more like a fetish.
Jackson Mitchell
Jason has a trap fetish, he was really into Bailey Jay, so I wouldn't be surprised. Jason came out as bi because of his trap fetish, which shows that he sees trans-women as men.
Jaxon Garcia
To be honest, Jason doesn't seem all that mentally stable these days. I mean just look at most of his recent videos. He can barely speak in a linear fashion. He flubs over and over, pauses abruptly, has tone problems with his voice, and so on.
If I were him I'd just take a break from youtube.
Charles Phillips
Wanted to add, several of his videos from the past month (including today's) concern Youtube and other social media sites deleting/censoring content. It's almost as if he's terrified his channel will be shut down sooner or later.
