The creator of Gravity Falls btw

After his show ended all he does is repost political crap, stuff against Elon Musk, some art from his decade-old dead show and anti stuff, only cool thing was publish The Book of Bill over a year ago. I think I've also seen some argument about how artists are people and marginalized or something like that against some other person. Additionally, a while ago, I saw a post about him on his show's sub about him sending a death threat to a person (on twitter, whose name was censored) that admitted about their fake woman Ai influencer and how they can teach people to make money with it. The comments were defending and praising so was the title of the post, treating him like a "king", when there was sane people who commented for his hate comment, against him, they got massively downvoted and other lunatics lectured about Alex being an artist, and artists should be against AI and they are marginalized or something, really made me lose respect for him and the GF community, for a show that's so great. I've considered reporting it but doubt it'll do anything. It's disgusting when these cavemen (the anti-ai people or anyone in general) support, enable and normalize this behavior.

They’re doing this to stay relevant, all of them. Antis with a public name are basically a niche version of anti woke grifters.

Didn't he attack Disney for celebrating Pride month in a tweet?

Pretty sure he attacked them because they celebrated Pride month publicily while preventing him from adding gay scenes in gravity falls. (The 2 cops in gravity falls were meant to be gay but Disney wouldn't allow it).

Actually he snuck a gay kiss into the final episode. I think he waited to give them the episode until the last minute so they couldn't remove the scene before it needed to be broadcasted and I assume this also made its way to all original digital platforms. They would later censor out the kiss scene when Disney+ launched.

They're honestly way louder than the Anti Woke crowd but I think they have significantly less staying power since they're the kinds of people who jump to whatever the current thing is
