EDIT: I mixed up two retro gaming YouTubers. The below refers to Bisqwit, not Bismuth. His personal views aside, I hope you find Bisqwit's other videos interesting. I really respect this guy as an engineer and a retro gaming enthusiast, but he has some videos explaining his personal irrational Islamophobia that really make me wonder about him as a person -- here's one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVxSAi4sueQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVxSAi4sueQ

Say what? Watched the video and it did not even mention Islam?

  It's a great video, that must have taken hundreds of hours just to animate, not to mention the research. That the author has opinions I don't agree with or are unpopular is another matter. I can have more than one thought because I'm not 4 anymore. This reflex to stigmatise and virtue signal annoys the freak out of me. Just enjoy the video.

  He's probably referring to this comment Bisqwit posted in the comments on that video: > I believe there is an incredible number of counterfeit doctrines and antichrists (Greek word that literally means counterfeit messiah), some more obvious and some more subtle. Islam being one of the most obvious ones. (It's a reference to Islam at least. Not sure how calling it a false doctrine is Islamophobic; seems like a pretty standard Christian take.)

You appear to be mistaken. The video we're discussing is by someone called "Bismuth", but you've linked to a completely different person called "Bisqwit".

  I admit the error. They both post videos on speedruns, and I mixed them up.

  Bisqwit has some videos that are definitely worth checking out as well. I really enjoyed his NES memory visualizations: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hqDGWfZhitc https://youtube.com/watch?v=hqDGWfZhitc
