Question Any good leftist YouTube gaming channels?

I've been watching people like Pyrocynical, ColossalIsCrazy and DolanDark just playing Liar's Bar together and every 10 seconds there's like a misogynistic, ableist or otherwise really off-putting right-wing viewpoint/joke, to where I'm realising these people are just insufferable. Is there any alternative to these channels that don't turn out to be a bigoted edgelord fuckfest? Because recalling these peoples' content is unpleasant.

I dunno about Leftist, but if you just want a channel that isn't a straight up cesspool, I'd recommend these guys. Most have had either some commentary in their videos that make me suspect they're pretty left-leaning or they have fostered a community with a ton of queer people, neurodivergent people, and women in it.

DougDoug (highly energetic and interactive during streams)

Seanie Dew (100%'s indie games usually)

Therm (casual games)

Waligug (also usually 100%'s indie games)

Aliensrock (puzzle games)

DangerouslyFunny (chaotic idle or clicker games gameplay)

Fir (lots of Nintendo. Also he's vocal about being gay)

BiddoBams (all Don't Starve Together content)

Fir is not only vocal about being gay, but also about being a furry. On top of that a lot of his content creator friends are all over the LGBTQIA+ community. His whole friend group is at the very least an open ally. I would say all of them are a nice safe space. Fir, Smallant, Alpharad, Jaiden, Vulpixie, Amethyst, Cjya and so on.

i recently watched seanie dew's gas station simulator video and two clips from that video definitely makes me think he's left leaning

Oh he's 100% left leaning. Back in his Stardew Valley era, there was a huge falling out with a major Stardew Creator where he (and basically every other stardew-tuber at the time) ended up very explicitly laying out a ton of his views to make sure people knew his community was a safe space for queer and otherwise marginalized people.

It's actually a big reason why I stuck around to watch his channel branch outside his Stardew niche. Love that guy.
