A prominent YouTuber specializing in FromSoftware games and Soulslikes appears to have deleted his X account (formerly Twitter) after a sleuth of Discord comments surfaced in which he allegedly attacked migrants and spouted right-wing political views.
An Aug. 25 X thread brought YouTuber Ziostorm‘s apparent Discord rants to light, which are still actively being discussed at the time of writing. In one reply, Ziostorm allegedly endorsed Trump and said he doesn’t think people realize “that globalism is literally just Islamic conquest.” In other posts, he allegedly said “the UK is already on the brink of disappearing” and that “[Sweden] is being destroyed by migrants.”
In a June 2 Discord post, Ziostorm allegedly endorsed a user’s suggestion that people should “just burn the place down when no one is inside,” referring to migrant accommodation, saying that’s “How it should be done.” He allegedly followed up by writing “Ask yourself: what does your government have to gain by treating savage ‘migrants’ better than their own people?”
Replying to the Aug. 25 X thread, users banded together to criticize Ziostorm’s views and support his disappearance from the platform. “I don’t even watch this dude, but now I’m glad I don’t,” one user wrote on Aug. 28, while another said “he’s gone hollow.” Others chimed in to call Ziostorm a “scumbag” and a “weirdo.” All it takes is a brief glance at the comments to see most of the community doesn’t support his views.
Ziostorm’s X profile is still nowhere to be seen, but his YouTube account is still active. We’ll have to wait and see if Ziostorm apologizes for his comments, ignores the criticism, or doubles down.
