I am not weighing in on that. I am simply saying that the situation with the shock collar has been blown out of proportion. People who go on and lie about the guy aren't much better than what they're complaining about. I don't like Twitch streamers in general, so it's not like I'm trying to defend the dude. I could not give a less of a shit about his existence or career. Also, if this sounds antagonistic towards you specifically, I do not mean it that way. Tone is just very difficult for me to get across via text.

I think instead of the "happens to be pro-palastine" could be replaced with "disliked for a variety of different reasons.

Though that is nitpicky and I mostly just wanted to avoid me being associated with him in that way TBH

The Pro-Palestinian is a very important point to touch on though. He was pro-palestinian for a while and it got him an obscene amount of hatred and toxicity that follows him around. Like a staggering amount. While he is a dick, he wasn't really on anyones radar or known about until that.
