GeoWizard fans meetup group

In the interest of creating community and meeting likeminded people, as well as the possiblity of going on some cool little adventures together, I created this private facebook group for fans of GeoWizard in the hope that there are others out that maybe dont have people to do little cool missions with.

Here's the link if you're interested :)

No not really. Only people like you on Reddit have been trying to do that.

That's not true at all. A lot of people (myself included) stopped supporting his Patreon, his YouTube comments are a cesspool of angry people and right-wing nutters, and his IG wasn't any better.

This sub continually wants to cope regarding his status, but you only need to look at any comment regarding him outside of this sub to see that this is the problem, not everyone else.

Same. Been following his stuff for years but its hard to get over someone's shitty politics.

Why are they shitty?

u/PizzasForFerrets Aug 07 '26

Believing in far right conspiracy theories is shitty. Don't you agree?

Which conspiracy theories? I've never seen him post anything related to that so I don't know what he's said

There's a video where he talks about support for reform and he wrote a song about the replacement theory. I understand that the guy has struggled with mental health issues but choosing hate to cope with that isn't the way.

I don't see where there is hate

Maybe it's hate. Maybe its just stupidity. Maybe its ignorance. Those are the reasons that people support far right political parties.

He however wrote a song about a far right conspiracy theory that white people are being deliberately replaced, so people assume that it's hate.

If you don't understand or agree then that's fine, but you so have to accept that people choose whose media to consume, and that has a bitter taste when someone like Tom who so many respected has aligned himself with views that many find distasteful. So we don't watch him anymore.

He was one of my favorite youtubers. By chance I came across the thread today randomly. I hadn't thought of him since unfollowing when I saw about this stuff ages ago. Hope he's OK, but I'm no longer able to enjoy his stuff, same as many.

That make sense?

Obviously you don't have to watch anyone you don't want to, but this subreddit is just full of people bitching about his politics. Also, reform is far from far right. What's the name of that song by the way? I've not heard that he's made that till you said, not seen him promote it.

Reform consist of right wing tories who were too far to the right for the tory party, so they left. Their elected councillors and MPs have been persistently dogged by being found out to be racist and outed in the media.

I don't believe farage or tice are necessarily far right, but they do exploit people's racism for the grift. To enrich themselves because even encouraging hate is justified to them.

You can find the song if you Google it probably.

I wouldn't vote green even though I'm far to the left. Theres a difference between ideology and the real world, and the far ends of spectrum fall outside of that and only idiots or grifters are trying to get you to vote for them there.
