I did not know this about Mark Rober. How disappointing.

This was a huge story in the streaming world. Dan Gheesling was really close with Northernlion who is a really popular Canadian gaming streamer. Northernlion had to come out and denounce Dan when they are close enough friends to go like camping together and shit.

There was chatter about this for a couple of weeks online.

Letourneau is Northernlion:

Following the Army broadcast in September, numerous streamers decried Gheesling’s actions during a time when the US is waging a heinously unpopular war against Iran, and the general populace is more aware than ever of the horrors our country aids and abets in places like Gaza. While Letourneau initially did not address the matter (and even seems to have playfully popped into the Army stream’s chat early on before leaving after it became apparent What It Was), he weighed in with uncharacteristic emotion a few days after it concluded, calling the stream “unacceptable.”

“You probably didn’t have to read between the lines to know how I feel about the US Army,” Letourneau, who is Canadian and generally espouses left-leaning political takes in between (or as part of) jokes, said during a September broadcast. “Of course I hate the US Army; they’re threatening to take over my country! They’re actively at war overseas, and with their own citizens.”
