Career
Shaun began his current YouTube channel in 2016, and it is primarily funded through Patreon supporters.[6] Shaun has made left-wing videos about the 2017 Unite the Right rally,[7][5] the 1994 book The Bell Curve,[8] the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,[6] politics in video games,[9] Native American history,[10] feminism[5] and white supremacy.[4][5] He has also created a video series called How PragerU Lies to You, which criticizes and responds to videos created by American conservative YouTube channel PragerU,[5] and response videos to a controversial BBC article on trans women.[11]
His video "Doom: The Fake Outrage" was named by Polygon as one of 2018's best video essays, with Polygon describing him as "quite possibly the most droll human on the internet".[9]
Shaun has been included in an informal group of leftist YouTube essayists sometimes known as "BreadTube"[5][12] or "LeftTube". This group also often includes Kat Blaque, ContraPoints, Hbomberguy, Lindsay Ellis, and Philosophy Tube.[13][14][4]
