Is Stuttering Craig Skistimas a bigot?

This is a long ass thread to help you answer that for yourself. I'm gonna cover the past 2 years but theres alot more to it🧵🧵🧵

Dont know who he is? Forgot he existed? Heres some background info....

Stuttering Craig started "Screwattack" with his then friend Handsome Tom before registering the company solo leaving Tom as just an employee. Tom left the company along with a few employees within a couple years after that. SA had a podcast called "Sidescrollers" and some other popular shows like "Hard News" "Top 10s" and "Video Game Vaults"

Years later Death Battle was created with minimal involvement from Craig. DB quickly eclipsed anything else going on with the channel but the company was still struggling financially. Craig sold his company to "Fullscreen" which also bought Rooster Teeth the same year. Fullscreen had RT absorb SA which meant moving most of the SA employees from DFW to Austin..... with a few exceptions.

RT let the remaining people who werent associated with DB create a new brand called "Game Attack" as a spinoff to ScrewAttack. It was Craig and 1 partner and 3 other guys (all nice dudes but they prob dont wanna get tagged in this shitshow). It was under the Lets Play family and they did gameplay vods then streams but never blewup to the size of Funhaus or AH so eventually RT was ready to drop the weight

Instead of firing them they let Craig and his partner go independent aka keep the brand and video equipment but not get salaries or featuring anymore. It was a generous deal considering Craig had spent 2 years being an entitled prick behind the scenes. They streamed on their own for a couple years. Craig burned even more bridges with RT

Then in 2020 the wheels really fell off th cart after the murder of George Floyd. They had a "town hall" stream with their community to discuss the major social event. Everyone opened up.... except Craig who didnt wanna be there. His response was "I dont see color. Treat everyone equal" kindergarten bullshit which completely ignored the reality of the situation that people WERENT being treated equally

Community members took issue with him checking out. They offered him insight and reading material. He in turn told them rudely to go educate themselves. Over the next few weeks he was in fewer streams while using his "parody" account @xxEvilCraigxx to vent his frustration at specific WOKE community members that dared pushback against his apathy

Shit was getting outta hand so Craig and his partner brought the targeted community members into a Discord group chat to hash things out. It did not go well lol. Craig wouldnt work with anyone to get call rolling so they tried talking through text until Craig sent a pissbaby screed and ragequit the group. Then short after that they announced Craig was leaving the company

Craig got bought out by his GA partner

Craig said he was retiring from gaming

Craig started streaming games again

He had privately contacted some of his former moderators, big tippers and other fans telling them about how unfairly he was treated. It was bullshit but it split the community between his loyalists, his "bullies" and the oblivious. He did some interviews with his old contacts from SA/RT but his streams became focused on railing against CANCEL CULTURE every day.

He started a podcast "Weekdays with Craig and Brad" with his brother Brad Skistimas aka FiveTimesAugust. Together they fell deep into conservative rabbit holes and emerged fully anti-vax, anti-BLM, anti-woke morons. Brad made it big with a viral song called Sad Little Man (targeted at Dr. Anthony Fauci) and then soon after that they stopped the podcast

During the 2020 election Craig encouraged people not to vote. He got pushback from some former SA employees who rightfully called it irresponsible. But he deleted his Twitter account abit after that so its lost to time

Craig tried crowdfunding a new idea called "Collaborator Club" which was a creator networking site but he abandoned it and announced he was retiring from video games. Secretly he had got a job offer from "Prairie Fire" a shady ass gun company that thought Craig could build them a social media platform for gun owners. Craig didnt make a social media platform.

He offered jobs to many of his former employees. None of them accepted. Exactly a year into his employment after producing nothing he "quit" and un-retired from video game streaming

After a few months of game streams he announced he was reviving his old Screwattack podcast "Sidescrollers" but this time it was called "Side Scrollers" because RT still owned Screwattack and all of its sub brands. He once again reached out to everyone he knew to be hosts on the podcast. He got exactly ONE former employee to host.... for half of the first episode. Nobody else has touched it

Craig said the pod would be apolitical
Side Scrollers has not been apolitical

And thats where we are now. Watching him jump at every culture war headline and clout chase to stay relevant. The podcast immediately became political and has a very obvious rightwing slant that reaches everything from anti-vax, to supporting Jan 6 insurrection, attacking labor unions, and all of the prejudiced takes listed above

I'm a parody account. I began this in Nov 2022 when he came back on Twitter and started getting political again during midterm elections. Almost every day since then I've satirized something stupid Craig did recently

I'm not selling anything. I'm not affiliated with anyone. I just dont like the asshole or what he represents. Whether you like my humor or not.... in effect my shitposts have created an archive of his controversial behavior

[GumballViking @viking_gumball]

In case people aren't aware, Craig is very much homophobic and is bigoted enough to the point where he's best buds with Yellowflash.

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

SCREWATTACK DIED WITHOUT ME🤔by that I mean rebranded to its only sustainable series. Something I was too nostalgic to do

BUT GAMEATTACK DIED WITHOUT ME😬I mean they rebranded too and are successful despite me poisoning their well for years

SO UHHHH🤤muh Youtube outrage views?

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Oh Death Battle got saved? I barely noticed. I was doing my own thing😏 Shows people will support clear goals, real passion and hard work!

Good to know theres enough room in this industry for 2 equally successful crowdfunds from equally popular former Screwattack personalities🥹

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

This is a special message to my future employees. Yes you're the heart & soul of my brand. But you're a REPLACEABLE heart & soul. Got it?

I'm gonna #SaveDEATHBATTLE with or without you

But if you bitches refuse to work for me I'll say "you dont wanna be around the community"😀

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Congrats to the Death Battle crew but it still doesnt make sense to let experienced self-sufficient talent run a brand. And CROWDFUNDING? My wheelhouse

Dont even bother calling me for advice. Im busy streaming with "guy I only know exists because a Kotaku editor DM'd his wife"🥹

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Ah fuck I said the quiet part about not keeping the Death Battle crew 😬Damage control!!!

CHAD & BEN ARE THE HEART OF DB!!
Yea I talk shit about them all the time and made a PUBLIC OFFER to buy their brand without involving them. But we'd figure things out once I own them again

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Okay I HATE talking about political stuff but can one of my normal men explain this so I don't have to do my own research?🙄

Biden did a thing that everyone wanted him to do? That's a threat to democracy! Retiring is just like January 6th, except I won't defend this because...🤔

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

You all know I'm apolitical
#SideScrollers is an escape from bullshit!
😡This is a GAMING podcast

...but...

😇I was a good boy this year!
I deserve a special treat! So all I want for Christmas is a guest who was at the January 6th insurrection to lie about how peaceful it was!

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Stop saying I changed😠I havent changed

I NEVER and WOULD NEVER root for someones death. Yes I said to #WoodChipper predators on numerous occasions but THIS IS DIFFERENT

Trump was just Epsteins friend, went in teen beauty pageant dressing rooms, and is a civilly liable rapist🤷‍♂️

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Its only $30! Yea you can buy a dozen games in the Steam Summer Sale right now for that much and its voting with your wallet.. but...🤔FOR REFERENCE

The real real award shows cost tens of millions of dollars to produce. So now imagine paying me for no production values instead🤷‍♂️

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@JohnnyLChase Send all your unused codes to the board members

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

We also have our first board members! NO ACTIVISTS! This is a meritocracy, so of course its four white guys🤔

But who better to organize game awards than a podcaster who doesnt play new games, two culture war G+G pricks, and "guy who made a Steam Group for games he wont play"?

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Its the #TakeGamesBack update you've all been waiting months for! No the app doesnt exist, and still no date for the event, and zero funding transparency...

I just rebranded it to "The REAL Game Awards" so everyone can tell I'm so NOT jaded about being snubbed by the industry!😎

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@szahurones Bring together all the grifts under one roof. Advertise his vitamins while talking about buying back Screwattack

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

The REAL Game Awards is an idea that just makes sense especially coming from an industry veteran like me. I created Screwattack by the way. 4 billion+ lifetime views.

So I bet all my former peers and fellow gamers are REALLY EXCITED about me taking games back....
😎🙂😕😦😞

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@MegamanElric18 He interviewed Tommy Tallarico
https://t.co/HWA8bLzoG0

Gave pro-Amico soundbytes at a convention
https://t.co/Oku69LIrgq

Did a reaction stream to a video calling him a shill where he dodged the criticism of course then used it for channel culture instead
https://t.co/0L7MAbpkNR

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@angelestoico He co-founded Screwattack and it was successful in spite of his best efforts

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@AuthorErwin Sponsors like seeing a return on their investment. Grifter simps are less discerning about what happens to their money as long as you tell them its fighting wokeness

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Its the #TakeGamesBack update you've all been waiting months for! No the app doesnt exist, and still no date for the event, and zero funding transparency...

I just rebranded it to "The REAL Game Awards" so everyone can tell I'm so NOT jaded about being snubbed by the industry!😎

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Please stop saying I threw together #TakeGamesBack just to cash in on the current gaming controversy

I WORKED ALL WEEKEND ON THIS
ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME NOW

While you losers were busy playing games I was browsing GoDaddy templates and daydreaming about being relevant again 😎

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

@CanadianxTC Sure but what if you care more about your feelings than public health and safety🤔

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

FACTS ARE THE REAL CENSORSHIP! 😡
Sure we can still lie on all these platforms... but we won't get paid for it and the algorithm will deprioritize our content

But whats even the point of spreading misinformation if I can't even make money off it? I have nothing else.

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Wanna be able to pause a game to spend time with your kid? TOO BAD! YOU MUST KEEP PLAYING! You shoulda been spending time with your kid!🤷‍♂️

Easily implemented accessibility features to help everyone is insulting to real disabled people... like those autistic people we make fun ��

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

We have fun on our non-political gaming podcast😂

Now that Greta Thunberg is an adult we can finally mock her autism. We never made fun of her before!
#ProtectKids

But thats fine! Everyones autistic!😅
Its funny! Everyone finds it hilarious
Except @danvasc2 (((hes foreign)))

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

Wouldn't it be so funny if I applied to be the editor at Kotaku? 😂 It's totally a joke... but also please God someone offer me a job.

Then again, they couldn't handle my high gaming journalist standards of misreading graphs, not checking sources, and never playing modern games.

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

We need to protect Dr. Disrespect from these malicious rumors about why he got a lifetime ban from Twitch and is losing partnerships!

Who better to retweet about this than SS cohost Razorfist! He knows all about grooming teenage girls

#ProtectKids wait wrong hashtag #BelieveMen

[Sputtering Craig ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @SputteringCraig]

We shoulda known the host of "Reading RAINBOW" would support queer books! 🌈

Groomers are ALWAYS the ones you most suspect!

maybe not "always"😬Razorfist dated a teenager when he was in his 30s and defends Michael Jackson and his child porn stash.. but hes NOT a groomer🤔
