0:00So, there's very few people on the
0:02internet that are notoriously known for
0:04their lack of skill when it comes
0:05[music] to playing video games. Like so
0:08bad they make the in-game NPCs look like
0:11the next Faker. One name that I could
0:13think of off the cuff is DSPGaming, who
0:17yes, does have gaming in his name, but
0:19don't be mistaken because he's so bad at
0:22games, he's literally only known for and
0:24watched for that fact. And there are
0:26multiple [music] compilations showing
0:28how bad he is at games. I would even
0:31take it as far as to guess he would
0:32probably struggle at a simple game of
0:35Tetris.
0:39>> I jump like a bunny. I jump like a
0:41bunny. I jump like a bunny. Oh, I have
0:43an overpowered shotgun. One blast,
0:45you're dead.
0:45>> He's also known as the guy that forgot
0:47his stream was on and started, one could
0:50say, choking the chicken, marinating the
0:54sausage,
0:55beating his [ __ ]
0:57>> Oh, [snorts] the camera's on.
0:59The camera's been on the whole time,
1:00huh? I don't even know.
1:03Hello.
1:04>> I guess in some capacity, you could put
1:06pirate software on this list, but you
1:08would have to make him admit that first.
1:10>> One of you
1:12pulled the ocular. Why?
1:16Now, half the raid is dead. Oh, I swear
1:19to god, I'm going to go back in the
1:20video and find out who pulled that damn
1:21thing and kick him out of the raid. That
1:22is insane [ __ ] Sabu got left behind.
1:25Sabu was not paying attention.
1:28The lightning ball pulled bef- I cast
1:30lightning ball before that Oculus
1:31appeared, and half the raid was in the
1:33back because they pulled the wrong pack.
1:35I'm not at fault there. I'm correct
1:36there. And I worked at Blizzard for 7
1:38years.
1:38>> And the last name I could think of is
1:40probably Asmongold, who yes, is very
1:43good at things like MMOs, but when it
1:45comes to anything else like first-person
1:47shooters, he performs like he's
1:49purposely avoiding the enemies or just
1:52has permanent stick drift.
1:54>> This is my game now. All right, let's
1:55play.
1:57Wait, why did I just throw?
1:59Okay, here we go.
2:04Wait, where is he?
2:07>> One more down.
2:09>> Okay.
2:10Is he dead?
2:12What am I getting shot from?
2:15Who's shooting me?
2:16>> But quite recently, I came across
2:18someone through my Instagram Reels that
2:20I believe potentially outdoes all the
2:23entries on that list. Yes, there is
2:25someone that is worse at games than even
2:28DSP. And he is known by many names. Some
2:31call him Overwatch's worst player and
2:33content creator because he was mainly
2:36known for the way he played Overwatch.
2:38But some also called him the hard-stuck
2:41platinum god because despite the amount
2:43of hours he put into the game, it took
2:45him a very long time to get out of
2:47platinum as a DPS or tank. With it
2:50apparently taking him actual years to
2:53get out of platinum rank.
2:55Yeah, he was a grandmaster when it came
2:58to healing though, which says something
3:00about your average Overwatch healer. But
3:02he was in platinum for so long and was
3:04so well known for his gameplay that in
3:07one case, he was granted the also
3:09prestigious title of the Austrian
3:12painter with a funny mustache of
3:15platinum. And that person's name that
3:17I'm going to be speaking about today is
3:20Gaming for Hope.
3:23>> Oh, that's a big mine field.
3:29I mean
3:31that we got the point.
3:32>> Gaming for Hope eats crazy grub and
3:34activates German stare.
3:39>> Gaming for Hope is someone that is
3:41primarily known for the way he plays
3:43games like Overwatch, more specifically
3:46how objectively bad he plays them
3:48despite his content mainly being about
3:50improving in games and being outfitted
3:53with the latest tech like a gaming
3:55sleeve. And on top of being known for
3:57being bad at the games he plays, he's
3:59also known for his reactions when he
4:01does play bad like blaming his team.
4:04>> No, no, no, no.
4:07Get out.
4:14Why are we all the way back here?
4:17What are we doing?
4:20No way I walk into that. Come on.
4:23Oh!
4:28Your mom. No, bro.
4:34Uh
4:35>> In fact, he was so well known for his
4:37gameplay and refusal to take
4:39accountability at times that the title
4:42of internet lolcow was added to his
4:44name. And people eventually started
4:46going out of their way to stream snipe
4:49him and make sure he stays in these
4:51lower ranks, which apparently at one
4:52point even included his past mods. And
4:56on top of this, he has unfortunately
4:58become a target for things like doxxing,
5:01which we'll talk about later. He aspires
5:03to be a high-ranking esports player as
5:06well as a content creator, and he's
5:08sacrificed a lot to reach these goals.
5:11He's sunk thousands of hours into games
5:13and even apparently quit his job to do
5:16it full-time despite having a family.
5:19But before we get into the meat and
5:20potatoes, who is
5:23has he been getting a lot of attention
5:25lately? And is he really that bad at
5:28games?
5:29>> Why don't you duo with your wife? Oh, I
5:31do. That's why we have three kids.
5:35>> So, GamingWithHope, or David Oh, born
5:38March 16th, 1996,
5:40registered with his online presence all
5:43the way back in January of 2018. And a
5:46few months later, he would make his
5:48YouTube channel. He did have a YouTube
5:50channel before this, but he deleted it
5:52for unknown reasons, and he does mention
5:55it in his first video on his new
5:57channel, but refuses to elaborate.
5:59>> Today, of course, will be the very first
6:01video log that I have probably [music]
6:03ever done. That's just kidding. I used
6:05to have a YouTube channel and I've done
6:07that before. We deleted [music] that. We
6:08don't talk about those days.
6:09>> However, at the start of this new
6:11YouTube channel, he wasn't known by the
6:13name everyone knows him by in the
6:15current day. Because when he first
6:16started that YouTube channel, he went by
6:18a very similar name, GamingForGod.
6:21Which, if you couldn't tell from the
6:23name alone, his goal was to bring his
6:25beliefs in Christ as a Christian into
6:27the gaming world. Now, I know what
6:30you're going to say. I can see those
6:31little microscopic cogs in your small
6:33brain rotating because you're thinking
6:36he's exactly like Dr. Witnesser, or as
6:38he's more commonly known as The Fearful
6:40Sheriff, which was the guy that was
6:42widely known for forcing his religion on
6:44people in Fortnite lobbies, and for some
6:47reason being really gassy.
6:49>> You want one more?
6:50>> One more? Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it.
6:52Sniff them out.
6:55>> [snorts]
6:58[laughter]
6:59>> Sorry.
7:01Sorry. Little bit gassy.
7:03>> In my opinion, he's not like The Fearful
7:05Sheriff. If anything, he's significantly
7:08tamer, at least when it comes to
7:10spreading his beliefs. And GamingForGod
7:12previously has voiced his opinion
7:14against the way Fearful Sheriff spreads
7:16his beliefs. He even made a full video
7:18on it 5 years ago.
7:20>> He did, in fact, tell a Muslim child
7:23that he was going to hell.
7:24It's not just a tabloid thing.
7:27He's been clipped multiple times saying
7:29this.
7:29>> You guys will never catch me
7:30collaborating with Dr. Witnesser. I'm
7:32sorry.
7:33>> I know you guys have talked about The
7:34Fearful Sheriff. I don't know much about
7:35him. Dr. Witnesser is Fearful Sheriff?
7:38He rebranded? That's the same guy?
7:42>> Bro, he's just desperate at this point.
7:47>> [music]
7:48>> But despite their differences, these two
7:49did have at least one thing in common,
7:52which was their origins. [music] You
7:54see, GamingForHub only started making
7:56content after he was laid off from his
7:58job and given a severance package. And
8:01with that money, he decided to pursue
8:03something he always wanted to, which was
8:06PC gaming so he could play games like
8:08PUBG. And
8:10through with that decision, he then got
8:12inspired to make content and start live
8:14streaming through watching other content
8:16creators like Shroud and Dr. Disrespect,
8:19which is a very similar story to Dr.
8:21Witnesser, but GamingForHub didn't copy
8:24his entire thing and then move on to
8:26copy another streamer while still
8:28forcing their religion down people's
8:29throats that just so happened to be in a
8:31Fortnite lobby with them. But anyway,
8:34with his new PC and newfound
8:36inspiration, he would start streaming
8:38things like PUBG and Fortnite to a small
8:41audience mainly consisting of family
8:43members like his cousins. And from what
8:46he briefly showed in his video going
8:48over his content creator journey, I can
8:50quite confidently say even back then, he
8:54was still bad at games. Like I'm pretty
8:56sure an elderly person with a severe
8:58case of cataracts probably could play
9:00better. By April of the same year, he
9:02had reached affiliate on Twitch and he
9:04eventually started making content on his
9:07YouTube channel where he would talk
9:08about anything from his beliefs to how
9:10his life is going. the same time, he had
9:13found another job working at a Christian
9:16radio station, which he did whilst
9:18pursuing his dream of being a content
9:20creator. Because despite working
9:22full-time, he would still average around
9:2440 hours of streaming a week to 10 to 15
9:27viewers per stream, mainly playing
9:29Minecraft, PUBG, and Fortnite. Around
9:32the start of 2019, he would make a hard
9:35pivot to a game called Apex Legends,
9:37which was his first ever hero shooter. A
9:41hero shooter that still probably hasn't
9:43fixed its audio, but anyway. From his
9:45own mouth, he was apparently in the top
9:4750 Pathfinder players in the United
9:49States for the game, but I couldn't find
9:51anything to prove that, so I guess take
9:54that claim with a grain of salt.
9:55>> Hostile spotted.
9:58What are YOU AIMING AT?
10:00WHAT ARE YOU AIMING AT?
10:02RELOADING.
10:08>> IN ADDITION TO THIS HARD PIVOT AT THE
10:09START of 2019, he would also leave his
10:12job at the radio station, which was down
10:14to him wanting to focus more on content
10:17creation, which I don't think was the
10:20best idea in my opinion, because as he
10:22said, he wasn't making that much from
10:24content creation and he had a family,
10:27but I digress. He continued streaming
10:29Apex, but apparently found that he was
10:31getting too toxic, so he started to mix
10:33games like 7 Days to Die in his blunt
10:36rotation of games to stream. However,
10:38around 2021, he made another drastic
10:41change. He actually stopped streaming
10:44because he started focusing more on
10:46video production, rebranding as Bearding
10:49for Her.
10:50Yeah, his naming conventions could use a
10:53bit of work. He mainly did this because
10:55he was once again inspired by other
10:57YouTubers and was more interested in
11:00things like photography and cameras
11:02around this time. Even saying later on
11:04he was going through a bit of an
11:06identity crisis, but this was only a
11:08short phase because he quickly snapped
11:11out of it and went back to spreading the
11:12gospel with his streams and gaming
11:14videos and he rebranded perhaps for the
11:17final time, going by the name we all
11:19know him as today, Gaming for Her. When
11:232022 came about, he drifted away from
11:25Apex Legends and started creating
11:27challenge videos surrounding 7 Days to
11:30Die and he would see a small spike in
11:32viewership from this. But after that,
11:34after switching from multiple games and
11:36after rebranding multiple times, he
11:39finally found his calling, the thing
11:41that he was going to be most known for,
11:44which was being absolutely terrible at
11:46OverWatch.
12:04>> Hey Anna, I have a question and it's
12:05like a a genuine thought. You hear?
12:08>> Yeah.
12:08>> You said I sounded like Game and Froak,
12:10right?
12:11>> I did.
12:12>> That would be because I am Game and
12:13Froak.
12:14>> Awesome.
12:15>> I'll be a good sport and say
12:17GGs. Good luck next.
12:18>> This man just has too much aura. Now as
12:21a previous unofficial OverWatch pro
12:24myself, and more recently a Dead Look
12:27God, I know, I know, it's very
12:29impressive for a 30 moist nerd in an
12:31oyster, but I can say with confidence he
12:33wasn't the best at the game, but he was
12:35constantly trying to improve at it. And
12:37he was pretty good at things like
12:39healing, just not the other two roles in
12:41the game, DPS or tank.
12:45>> You're just freaking
12:46>> This ends now.
12:53>> Three people sitting on the [ __ ]
12:55point and throwing the team like them,
12:57then you [ __ ] lose the fact
12:58>> But Game and Froak was hooked on this
13:01game. So hooked he started his most
13:03popular series in May of 2023, which was
13:07his road to pro series where day by day
13:09he would document his journey to the
13:11OverWatch Pro League, because he wanted
13:13to be so good at the game he would
13:15eventually be signed to a team as a
13:17healer, the only role he was good at
13:19around that time. This involved daily
13:22videos where he would analyze his own
13:24gameplay, the pros, cons, and what he
13:26could do better. And he was so dedicated
13:28to this goal and content creation in
13:30general that he would eventually quit
13:32his next job, which was working at a
13:34bank, so he could pursue it full-time.
13:37Which, as said earlier on, wasn't the
13:39first time he did something like this.
13:41On more than one occasion, he would get
13:43rid of all of his debt at the time, save
13:45up money for an emergency fund that
13:47would last multiple months, and do
13:49things like Uber and Lyft on the side if
13:51they needed extra income. Also, he could
13:53spend more time on his content creator
13:55journey and his goal of going pro. And
13:58this would later become one of the main
14:00critiques against him, as many would say
14:02he was being irresponsible and putting
14:04his wife and three kids at risk doing
14:06things like this. But even with said
14:08criticism, he kept pursuing his goal of
14:10potentially becoming an Overwatch pro.
14:13But there was one problem. The Overwatch
14:15League shut down, which meant Gaming for
14:18Hope no longer had any hope to become a
14:21pro. And although this was a major blow
14:23to his motivation, he kept going and
14:25kept playing to at least get a good rank
14:28within the game. Unfortunately for him,
14:30this would work out as the replacement
14:33for the Overwatch League would soon
14:34come, which was the Overwatch Champions
14:37Series. And it would once again provide
14:39him with a goal to reach. But this time
14:42he didn't want to do as a healer, he
14:44wanted to do as a tank because tanks
14:46were more important. But as I've said,
14:48the problem with that is he wasn't as
14:50good as it as he was at things like
14:52healing.
15:02Oh my gosh.
15:12What? Okay.
15:14Holy. In 2025, this is where Gaming for
15:17Hope began getting noticed. Not for how
15:19good he was at the game or his
15:20willingness to improve, but how bad he
15:23was at playing tank. And people began
15:25clipping said terrible moments en masse,
15:28clearly making fun of him, and it got to
15:30the point where Overwatch pros even
15:33began taking notice of him, and they
15:35would start analyzing his gameplay, and
15:37in some cases criticizing everywhere he
15:39was going wrong.
15:40>> I have 4 seconds to that cool down
15:42there.
15:44Okay, give him a punch.
15:48They they have they've stopped trying.
15:50They've Look at this Look at this
15:51position.
15:53>> What do you mean they've stopped trying?
15:56Their tank hasn't done anything the
15:58whole game.
16:02Okay, we're still looking at our team,
16:04but the thing is is all this time where
16:07we're we're we're people watching is
16:09time where we could be going in. Every
16:12time we're looking at our team is time
16:15where
16:15their team is doing something, and we're
16:18watching a TV show. I know what he's
16:20probably I know what's going through his
16:21big bald head. I know what he's
16:23thinking. Well, how can I go in? We keep
16:25dying. But they can't shoot your team,
16:28and they can't go for nades.
16:30>> Bubble on your Cass would be nice here,
16:32not on your Kiriko.
16:33>> Yep. I have both my supports there and
16:35still die.
16:36>> Yeah, okay.
16:40Let Let's watch this sequence of events,
16:41Mr. Gaming for open, tell me it's on
16:43your supports.
16:45Super early, take a ton of damage from
16:47this Reaper.
16:48You are already 300 HP. You bubble. You
16:51bubble at actually at 230 HP. Your
16:53Kiriko TP's on you and Suzu's.
16:56You bubble her.
16:57You are still half HP. You're actually
17:00getting healed. You are not concerned at
17:03all about taking cover right now.
17:05>> He was getting a lot of attention from
17:072025 to early 2026, and he was making
17:10enough money around this time to once
17:12again quit his job and do it full-time.
17:15And he even made a short video talking
17:18about it.
17:18>> What did I do for work prior to being a
17:20full-time content creator? Many of you
17:22have asked me this question a little
17:23over a month ago when I quit my job
17:25initially. As I started to transition
17:27into doing content full-time knowing
17:29that was on the horizon, I wanted to
17:30baby step it. I needed a source of
17:32income that would allow me to slowly
17:34lower the hours spent working and
17:36increase the hours on content. Driving
17:38for platforms like Uber, Lyft, Amazon
17:40Flex, and Instacart accomplished that
17:42well.
17:43>> Also, around this time he got noticed by
17:44Overwatch players he idolized like Flats
17:47who complimented him on his microphone.
17:50>> Yeah, it is really nice mic. I love this
17:51mic. This mic goes hard.
17:53>> But obviously, not all the attention he
17:55was receiving was good attention because
17:57in typical LoL cow fashion, a lot people
18:00were only watching him to make fun of
18:02him. They liked when he was doing bad at
18:04the games he played. They liked when he
18:06took no accountability and would blame
18:08other people for his bad plays, and some
18:10would even organize entire Discord
18:12servers dedicated to stream sniping and
18:15trolling him in his Overwatch games so
18:17he would stay at a lower rank even if
18:20they were on the same team as him. And
18:22people really like to focus on the fact
18:24he dropped almost everything despite
18:26having a family to chase the stream,
18:29which yes, maybe from the outside isn't
18:31the best decision especially when he has
18:33kids and was the only one working in the
18:35family. And he has stated previously
18:37they did struggle financially at times.
18:39They had to stay with their in-laws for
18:41some time. I don't know if they still
18:43are. It's been a while since he last
18:45talked about it.
18:46>> And I wanted very badly to be a
18:49full-time creator. So at the time, I had
18:50made a lot of sacrifices and decided to
18:53basically eliminate as many expenses as
18:55I could. And by doing that, it allowed
18:57me to be a full-time creator way earlier
18:59than probably most people get to. I was
19:01also living with my in-laws at the time,
19:03so things were just in a really good
19:04spot to do it. And then, things went
19:06fairly poorly financially because I made
19:08some very poor financial decisions, and
19:10I ended up needing to go get a 9-to-5. I
19:12worked for a local bank for a little bit
19:14and found myself more irritable, deeply
19:16unfulfilled, and despite the fact that I
19:18had a lot more money than I did before,
19:20I was just miserable and I needed to
19:22make a change. So, I went back to being
19:23a full-time creator very recently and
19:25we're still living with my in-laws.
19:27>> But to be fair, it's not like he just
19:28dropped everything at once to become a
19:30content creator. He did supposedly save
19:33up money, got rid of his debt, and
19:34slowly transitioned into it. At least
19:36that's what he says because he does
19:38contradict himself sometimes like the
19:40time he said he was completely debt-free
19:42before he jumped into content creation,
19:45but in later videos he says he's not
19:47completely debt-free at that moment.
19:49>> a stay-at-home mom and homemaker and I
19:51had a heart desire to be back as a
19:54full-time creator. We paid off all of
19:56our consumer debt and had a 6-month
19:59emergency fund. fact that I had a lot
20:00more money than I did before, I was just
20:02miserable and I needed to make a change.
20:04So, I went back to being a full-time
20:05creator very recently and we're still
20:07living with my in-laws, but we're
20:09working on getting out of debt so that
20:10we can actually move out very
20:12comfortably. I think
20:12>> And he does have a pattern of going back
20:14and forth between being employed and a
20:16full-time content creator because as
20:19said he will often see a bit of
20:20attention online and he will try to go
20:22full-time with it, but then it doesn't
20:24work out. So, he goes back to work and
20:26he will do the same thing again later on
20:28when he gets more attention. I think
20:30right now he is trying to do it
20:32full-time again and I think he's
20:33repeated this cycle like two times
20:35already that I'm aware of. So, yes, I
20:37can see why he is criticized for this
20:40and you can at least say in hindsight he
20:42should have made some better financial
20:44decisions before jumping headfirst into
20:46content creation, especially since he
20:48has a family, but that's just my outside
20:50opinion. If we believe him at his word,
20:52supposedly everything is fine
20:54financially, I guess. But even with all
20:57of that said, when he receives hate for
20:59his choices, he just makes it
21:00significantly worse at times by focusing
21:03on said hate when he doesn't need to. He
21:06will make entire videos about the hate
21:08he receives. He will focus on people
21:10making hateful comments in his stream
21:12chat for a full minute, which just makes
21:14them want to troll him more because he
21:16gives them so much attention.
21:18>> Number two, how much time do I actually
21:21spend with my family? And this one's
21:22really again one of those rephrased, you
21:24know, hate-filled comments where someone
21:26said, "Quit doing this, spend more time
21:28with your family. Just hang up the
21:29mouse, sunk." It's really funny they say
21:31hang up the mouse cuz my mouse is
21:32wireless, so jokes on you.
21:35Okay, that was a stupid dad joke.
21:36>> So, with everything combined,
21:38GamingforHub mainly got attention and
21:40the label of lolcow because he's bad at
21:42a game yet wants to be pro in said game,
21:45at times doesn't take accountability for
21:47the bad plays he does and blames his
21:49teammates, he has a bit of an ego
21:50sometimes, and he is constantly feeding
21:53the people trolling him, and many people
21:55believe he has made terrible financial
21:57decisions all for the goal of wanting to
21:59be a content creator and pro player.
22:01Those are most of the reasons why people
22:03make fun of him and call him a lolcow.
22:06And some of it is very true, but
22:08probably the thing working in
22:09GamingforHub's favor is his attitude.
22:12Most times when he's not blaming his
22:14teammates, he's very positive and just
22:16wants to improve at the game he plays so
22:18his dream can come true. That's one of
22:20the good things about GamingforHub.
22:22Despite everything, he's still a
22:23somewhat so-called wholesome chungus.
22:27However, there are a few allegations
22:28that have been made against GamingforHub
22:30that paint the opposite picture, and
22:33there were quite a lot to be honest.
22:35>> aware of at this point are that I
22:37neglect my children, I'm anti-LGBTQIA+
22:40I'm a Nazi, apparently I'm still
22:42considered to be a member of the KKK.
22:44>> Now, I'm just going to get this out of
22:45the way. A lot of the allegations made
22:47against GamingforHub are false, and some
22:50were clearly created with the intention
22:52of just making fun of him. But because
22:54GamingforHub is GamingforHub, he must
22:57give attention to everything and
22:58anything said about him, even if it is
23:00clearly false, even though that just
23:03lags against him and just makes people
23:05want to troll him more. He did make a
23:07response video addressing some of these
23:09claims, and there are some claims that
23:11do have some meat to them that he didn't
23:13entirely cover in that video, which we
23:16will go over. But before we get into
23:17them, let's go over the false claims
23:19that for some reason he took very
23:21seriously. There was a claim he tried to
23:23meet up with a child to do illegal
23:26things, but I don't think there was any
23:28evidence to this claim, but he still
23:30responded to it anyway.
23:31>> Important thing is, no, at no point was
23:34I ever going to meet with a 13-year-old
23:36boy.
23:37Absolutely insane that I even have to
23:39say those words out loud.
23:41>> There was a claim that he was a Nazi
23:43because in one of his videos he reaches
23:45for the camera that looks like a certain
23:47salute, and it was being circulated
23:49everywhere, especially in Instagram
23:51reels and TikTok comments. But he
23:53addresses this claim that probably
23:55nobody thought was true by saying he's
23:58not a Nazi,
23:59and even saying if it wasn't to be a
24:01salute, he's doing it with the wrong
24:03hand.
24:03>> That a simple Google search of what a
24:05Nazi salute looks like would have
24:06answered for you. I used the wrong hand.
24:09If it was an actual Nazi salute, it
24:12would have been my right hand.
24:13>> There was a claim he was a part of that
24:15one clan with the three Ks, yes, the
24:18people in the white robes, all because
24:21the tiers for his Patreon were all
24:22misspelled but all started with the
24:24letter K. Like the tier of contributor
24:27was replaced with a K, and there was
24:28supposedly three of them, so people
24:30thought he was trying to show his
24:32support of that group. But his excuse
24:34for all this was that his community is
24:36called the kinship, hence why he changed
24:39the words around to match that, and at
24:41the time he didn't realize what this
24:43represented until people pointed it out
24:45and started claiming he was a part of
24:47that group.
24:48>> My old Patreon tiers used to be starting
24:51with the letter K, and there were three
24:53of them, so people kind of associated
24:54KKK. Now, the reason for that is my
24:56community is referred to as the kinship
25:00as in a brother and sisterhood.
25:02>> I don't think there is any other
25:03evidence to prove he's in that group all
25:06racist. Some have found past tweets he's
25:08made and rants regarding his political
25:10beliefs which they do think supports the
25:12claim he's racist. But I don't think
25:13there was any hard evidence to prove the
25:15claim he's a white supremacist all pets
25:18certain races except for what I assume
25:20was a Freudian slip at the start of his
25:22response video.
25:23>> The allegations that I'm aware of at
25:25this point are that I neglect my
25:26children, I'm anti LGBTQIA+
25:29I'm a not apparently I'm still
25:31considered to be a member of the KKK.
25:33>> What do you mean people think you're
25:34still a member of the KKK? There was the
25:36claim he neglects his children which is
25:38still an ongoing thing because people
25:40think he prioritizes his Overwatch rank
25:43over taking care of his kids. And it's
25:45mainly sourced from when he was
25:46streaming Overwatch and you could hear
25:48his kids screaming in the background and
25:50he kind of just does nothing about it
25:52and just continues playing.
25:53>> Keep your sights on it.
25:58Mini corner.
26:01I hit something.
26:02>> From what I can see this is the main
26:04clip people use to support this claim
26:06apart from the claim he puts his family
26:09at risk trying to do this full time. But
26:11he provides context to this clip saying
26:13he streams in his bedroom where his baby
26:15sleeps and his kid was being put to bed
26:17at that time by the mother who is a stay
26:20at home mom. So the baby was supposedly
26:22being taken care of.
26:24>> Basically what was going on there is my
26:26kid was crying. So my youngest son
26:28Cassian was crying in the background. My
26:29stream is actually in our bedroom and
26:32he's 6 months old. So he has a bassinet
26:34that's next to our bed. So he was being
26:35put down for bed about that time and my
26:38wife was with him. So he was not being
26:40neglected. My wife is a stay at home
26:41mom.
26:42>> The next claim he addresses that many of
26:44you probably struggle with is
26:45unemployment where he talks about the
26:47criticism he's received about quitting
26:49his job to pursue content creation which
26:52we have talked about multiple times
26:54already. It's very hard to trust Gaming
26:56for Hope when he talks about his
26:57financial status because he does
26:59contradict himself at times. One minute
27:01he says his family are fine, he's a
27:02full-time content creator, completely
27:04debt-free, and then in the next minute
27:06he says he isn't completely debt-free
27:08and he isn't a full-time content creator
27:10anymore, but keeps saying he is. And
27:12once again, it's that cycle I talked
27:14about earlier where he drops his job to
27:16become a full-time content creator when
27:17he gets a bit of attention and then he
27:19eventually has to go back to working and
27:21then rinse and repeat. From what I
27:23believe he's done this multiple times.
27:25First when he got the severance package,
27:27then when he was a radio host, and then
27:29when he was working at the bank. And in
27:31my opinion, once again, it's not the
27:33best financial decision, especially when
27:35you have a family. I feel like you try
27:37it once or maybe twice and you learn
27:39your lesson or do it more on the side
27:41instead of just full forcing it. But
27:43within his response video, he tells us
27:45he is once again employed and he says he
27:48always prioritizes providing for his
27:50family. When he needs to get a job, he
27:52will get a job. And in between being
27:53unemployed when they need money, he will
27:55do things like Uber. So if we believe
27:57him at his word when it comes to
27:58providing for his family, he will
28:00provide. But the thing is, 6 months
28:02after this video, he made a short
28:04talking about being a full-time content
28:06creator again and quitting his job. So
28:08I'm at least guessing he quit the job he
28:10talked about in his response video. So
28:12the cycle is repeating again. And this
28:15is either a 500 IQ rage bait tactic that
28:17has given him a significant amount of
28:19attention or he just genuinely keeps
28:21repeating this cycle hoping it works
28:23out, which is an impressive mindset
28:26or just straight up insanity. There was
28:28the accusation that he was boosting his
28:30rank on Overwatch, which did have some
28:33truth to it as on more than one occasion
28:35he would party with known Overwatch pros
28:37in comp games instead of quick play. And
28:40at one point he did have a duo that on
28:41their main account was a high-ranking
28:43DPS player that was helping him win
28:45games. But when it was proven his duo
28:47was smurfing, he claimed he never knew
28:50despite everyone telling him.
28:52>> It's time we discuss the DPS duo you
28:54guys have been questioning recently.
28:56Unfortunately, I found out that in some
28:58ways you guys were right about him.
28:59Facts was an alt account, and the main
29:02account of the person is upper GM lower
29:04champ regularly. As usual though, I
29:06don't want to focus on that person's
29:08behavior. I can't control that.
29:09Ultimately, it was up to me to better
29:12vet the people that I queue with.
29:13>> So yeah, he was a bit boosted and
29:16actually managed to get off platinum
29:17after a year around this time. The next
29:20claim was a rather serious one, which
29:22was that he groomed his current wife,
29:25which is primarily a thing because he
29:27has three kids and one of the kids is
29:29significantly older, and if you do the
29:31calculations considering his wife's age,
29:34she would have been a minor and Mr. Huke
29:36would have been an adult around the time
29:38their eldest was born, which led a lot
29:40of people to believe he groomed her, but
29:43the eldest child isn't his biological
29:45child. His father is someone else, and
29:48he met his wife when she was 18 and he
29:51was 23 around 2020 to 2021, which some
29:54people also questioned trying to prove
29:56he met her at a younger age, but there
29:58has been no evidence to prove that, and
30:00there's been no evidence in general to
30:02prove he groomed anyone that I know of.
30:04>> He was conceived in a previous
30:06relationship my now wife had. [music]
30:08Biologically speaking, to be very clear,
30:10my oldest son isn't mine. My wife and I
30:12met when she was 18 [music] going on 19.
30:15>> The last accusation is the one that has
30:16the most meat to it, and that is the
30:18claim that he is anti-LGBTQ.
30:21And from what I can tell, this started
30:22because of a video he did about the
30:24Overwatch character Venture, who is
30:26non-binary. And for some reason, he adds
30:28within the video that as a Christian, he
30:30doesn't agree with gender fluidity. He
30:32thinks God created us as either a man or
30:34a woman, but he adds that despite this,
30:36he will continue to be kind and
30:38respectful to others, which includes
30:40using people's preferred pronouns
30:42despite being against it.
30:44>> At this point, we've all likely seen
30:45videos about Venture's kit, some
30:47gameplay, and even some [music] opinions
30:49on their current state. What no one
30:51seems bold enough to talk about,
30:53however, is their identity. I'm sure
30:54you've noticed at this point in the
30:55video that I have been using Venture's
30:57preferred pronouns. I personally don't
30:59[music] agree with the concept of gender
31:01fluidity as I think God was very clear
31:03when he said that he created us both man
31:05and woman. [music] However, for both
31:07Venture as a character in a video game
31:09and people that I know in my personal
31:11life, I will continue to go out of my
31:13way to be humble, kind, respectful, and
31:15[music] loving to everyone I meet. That
31:17includes using preferred pronouns even
31:19though I don't agree with the basis of
31:21their use. Overall today, I held a 66
31:24>> Now, some people would use this video to
31:26say he hates certain parts of the LGBTQ,
31:29which I don't think there's enough there
31:31to claim that. Yes, he did say he
31:33doesn't really want to or believe in
31:35using the right pronouns, but he said he
31:37will do it anyway to be kind and
31:38respectful, which in my opinion, I don't
31:41think is that bad or outright
31:43anti-LGBTQ.
31:45You could argue it is definitely a bit
31:48performative and he really didn't need
31:50to add that in the video. And later on
31:52in his response video going over this
31:54accusation, he would say the same thing,
31:56but also adds context to another video
31:58people use, which is an edited clip of
32:01him jumping up for a pride crosswalk in
32:03game, which wasn't even done by him.
32:05Someone made that and just put his face
32:07on it.
32:08>> Venture now, I still use their preferred
32:10preferred pronouns even though I don't
32:11personally align with it, which I said
32:12then and I stand by it now. Just to
32:14reiterate, you can live your life the
32:16exact way you want to live it. I will
32:18not be against you in that. I will not
32:20vote against you in that. You will not
32:22find me in the opposition despite my
32:23personal beliefs because my personal
32:25beliefs are what I align my life to,
32:28not yours. Also, I will say there is a
32:31relatively funny I have to I have to
32:33admit I had a good laugh. Funny clip of
32:36me jumping over the rainbow crosswalk at
32:40Midtown. Uh I thought that was quite
32:42funny. It was completely out of context.
32:44>> But later on there would be more events
32:46that would take place to further support
32:48this claim against him. So GamingForHope
32:50at the end of the month was going to
32:52donate to a charity and he was also
32:54telling a lot of his viewers to check
32:56out and maybe donate to said charity.
32:58This is something he regularly does. He
33:00chooses one charity per month to donate
33:03to. Also around the same time he had
33:05just got a sponsor with a company known
33:07as Wall Hack, which also came with a new
33:10high-tech gaming sleeve so he can
33:12probably throw more games as tank.
33:14Anyway, this all sounded pretty normal
33:16and you know, good for him. He's
33:18donating to charity and actually getting
33:20noticed by sponsors. But as it turns
33:22out, everything wasn't so kemochi
33:25because people looked into that charity
33:26he was advertising for that month and
33:28found that they do things like
33:30conversion therapy for those that are
33:32gay or trans, which as I understand is
33:34where they try and convert you to not be
33:37gay or trans. But fans of his didn't
33:39like that he was advertising and
33:41donating to said charity. Since you
33:43know, he's stated before he is
33:44respectful and kind towards the LGBTQ.
33:47So a user going by the name XYLZLOL
33:51would get in contact with GamingForHope
33:53to inform him about what the charity
33:55does providing all the necessary links.
33:58And in response, GamingForHope basically
34:00says, you know, most charities if you
34:02look into them all do some things you
34:04won't like. I mean, he's not entirely
34:06wrong there.
34:08>> [clears throat]
34:10[cough]
34:11>> The person then provides more
34:13information and GamingForHope basically
34:15says they will agree to disagree and he
34:17wants to move forward despite saying at
34:19one point he couldn't see any public
34:21information about this regarding the
34:23charity and he was provided with said
34:26information eventually. But then things
34:28escalated because they would get in
34:29contact with his new sponsor letting
34:32them know he was supporting this
34:33charity, which resulted in them dropping
34:35him out of nowhere and Gaming for Hope
34:38somewhat crashing out on stream.
34:40>> who dropped the sponsorship with no
34:42conversation, no warning. Just so you
34:44know, Wall Hack is a pathetic excuse for
34:46a company and I will no longer be
34:48endorsing. I dodged a bullet that they
34:50bailed out so early.
34:51>> Pathetic.
34:52>> Celebrate Recovery believes that
34:53transgenderism and homosexuality is a
34:55mental disorder. I do not believe that
34:57at all and I would never agree with
34:59that. I think that's the most disgusting
35:00things that Christians say all the time
35:02and it drives me nuts as a Christian.
35:04There's nowhere in the Bible that's
35:05going to substantiate that at all. I
35:07still support the charity because the
35:08charity overall is a net positive on
35:10society. There is not a better charity
35:12that does better job in getting people
35:14sober in this area. And a company broke
35:16a sponsorship over that. How are they
35:18judging you for something someone else
35:19did? That's exactly my point. I would
35:20not support Wall Hack and I'm going to
35:22come out pretty heavily against them on
35:23that. Well, for Wall Hack to not want to
35:25support that after all they give money
35:26and then you give it to the company so
35:28it almost seems like an endorsement if
35:29they were to continue. That's a
35:30reasonable point. I'm going to give you
35:31that. Cuz at the end of the day, I have
35:33a huge issue with the fact that we
35:35started our partnership together 10 days
35:37ago. I was supporting the charity then.
35:38So to me that just screams it screams
35:41they don't actually care. This is a
35:42virtue signal. But even with all of that
35:44said, he would then make an apology
35:46video basically saying he didn't know
35:48what conversion therapy was despite
35:50someone providing him with all the
35:52information. He then says he no longer
35:54supports this charity and what they do
35:56he doesn't agree with and that going
35:58forward he will be doing research on the
36:00charities he chooses to support and
36:02donate to. Finishing off by saying he
36:04will be supporting the Trevor Project,
36:06another charity which is for supporting
36:08young people a part of the LGBTQ that
36:10are struggling. Seriously apologize. I
36:13misunderstood what conversion therapy
36:14is. The way that I understood that term,
36:16just by the words themselves, was that
36:18it was effectively assisting someone in
36:19a de-transition process, which is not
36:21true even a tiny bit. And a basic Google
36:24search would have taught me that. So
36:25it's completely my fault. I am not
36:26blaming anybody for but myself for this.
36:28I will no longer be supporting Celebrate
36:30Recovery, to be very, very clear,
36:31financially or otherwise. I think that
36:33they've helped people get out of
36:33addictions, but knowing that they
36:34support this, I I can't I can't continue
36:36to support them now knowing what it is,
36:38especially. I will be more thorough in
36:40my research with future charities to
36:41support, adding a layer to what I
36:43already do. All donations that I'm going
36:45to do from April's revenue will now be
36:47going to the Trevor Project. This is
36:49going to come across like a virtue
36:50signal. Frankly, I don't care if that's
36:51how you see it. I know it's not. Trevor
36:53Project is an organization that helps
36:55people that are in the LGBTQA+ community
36:58with the mental health effects that come
37:01with being largely discarded by the
37:03world. And I think that's horrible that
37:04you guys are discarded by the world,
37:05regardless of my religious beliefs. This
37:07organization is a very big part of the
37:10movement that's helping lower the rates
37:11of fill in the blank here. That needs
37:13That number needs to go down. I went to
37:15several funerals in high school that
37:17were a byproduct of people choosing to
37:19end their own lives. I don't want that
37:21for anybody.
37:21>> But once again, after saying that, he
37:23makes a discord announcement and a
37:25YouTube video saying he now won't be
37:28supporting the Trevor Project because he
37:30doesn't agree with everything it does,
37:32despite just saying he has learned his
37:34lesson and he will look into charities
37:36before he supports them.
37:38>> you guys a little bit of an explanation
37:39on the Trevor Project. I had intended to
37:41not say anything about it because I
37:42feared that it would create a spiral of
37:44things that I would have to answer
37:45forever, but I'm going to keep it short
37:46and to the point. The primary mission of
37:48Trevor Project is still something I
37:49support. There are some secondary and
37:51tertiary beliefs that they hold that to
37:53them kind of help their main mission
37:55that I just can't support. I'm not going
37:56to go into it more in this video.
37:58>> In the fallout of this, he removed his
38:00apology video for whatever reason, and
38:03moderators of his stream left the team,
38:05including some that were trans. With the
38:08one saying they didn't like the things
38:10he did and all the backpedaling he was
38:12doing lately. And this is why people
38:14think he hates the LGBTQ. He is still
38:17insistent he doesn't have a problem with
38:19them, and in my opinion, I don't
38:21necessarily think he outright hates
38:23them. I just think he is a bit, dare I
38:25say it, dumb. And I think it was more of
38:27an ego thing where he didn't want to be
38:29wrong, but he did completely fumble the
38:31ball here, going back and forth on his
38:33reasonings and stances. At least that's
38:36what I think. Continuing on from this,
38:38Gaming The Row Boat actually come out
38:40with an announcement that he is no
38:42longer going to be streaming Overwatch.
38:44With his reasoning being it's too toxic,
38:46and since streaming it he has been
38:47receiving harassment such as doxing,
38:50which is pretty bad.
38:51>> I have officially decided to quit
38:53playing Overwatch, and it's important to
38:55me that my fans know why. However,
38:57throughout that time being on social
38:58media, I have garnered a
38:59disproportionate level of hatred for a
39:02creator my size. There are Discord
39:04servers all over the place with a
39:05ridiculous amount of people in them for
39:08this purpose. They're a breeding ground
39:10for people to meme, mostly, and hate on
39:13me as well. A little over a year ago, my
39:15family and I, as many of you know, were
39:17doxxed and then harassed by a hater.
39:19What I haven't told you is that it
39:21hasn't stopped.
39:22With two different moves in between then
39:24and now. It's one thing for people to
39:26make memes and stream snipe my games. I
39:28can deal with that. But threatening my
39:30family over it is a felony.
39:32>> Some people, upon hearing that he was
39:34leaving Overwatch behind, would rejoice.
39:36Some were upset by the decision, and
39:39some were confused because he was mainly
39:40known for playing Overwatch. It seems
39:43like he was shooting himself in the
39:44foot, but he probably just wanted to
39:46minimize the harassment and keep his
39:48family safe. Some think he will return
39:51since he stopped playing Overwatch
39:52before, but came back. But to this day,
39:55he has stayed away from it. He's now
39:57actually playing Marvel Rivals, which is
39:59very similar to Overwatch, and now
40:01people make fun of him for being
40:03terrible at that game.
40:04>> Listen, just because you're not a voice
40:06actor.
40:07>> I AM A [ __ ] VOICE ACTOR.
40:10I'M STUCK HERE MAKING SHITTY [ __ ]
40:12Instagram reels because someone won't
40:13get off THEIR FAT [ __ ] ASS AND HELP
40:15ME.
40:16>> IN CONCLUSION, YES, Gaming Varb is
40:18terrible at games. It can be said he is
40:21a bit egotistical. Some even call him
40:23slightly narcissistic and say he has a
40:25victim complex. He has made a lot of
40:28questionable decisions as well and the
40:30title of lolcow is very much appropriate
40:33for him because unless it's a lap, he
40:35unknowingly keeps feeding trolls and
40:37most times it looks like he doesn't know
40:39when people are clearly making fun of
40:41him, which inevitably leads to him
40:43giving a lot of attention to things like
40:45false allegations and people making fun
40:47of him more, which also escalated to
40:50people harassing him, which is uncalled
40:52for. Once again, in my opinion, I don't
40:55think he's an outright terrible person,
40:57just very naive at times. But he's still
41:00going and still making content to this
41:02day tracking his journey in competitive
41:04games and still being fairly positive,
41:07at least when it comes to recording the
41:08videos. I don't know about in game and
41:10if he's still blaming his teammates. But
41:12who knows, maybe in the future he'll hit
41:14gold in Marvel Rivals or whatever the
41:17rank system is in that game. I don't
41:18know. I only play Deadlock right now and
41:20that's probably what I'm going to do
41:22after this. But yeah, that's just
41:23something I wanted to talk about today.
41:25Don't forget you can manually breathe
41:27and that's all I had to say and bye-bye.
