I haven't any suggestions I would also like some. Nowadays the only gamer youTuber I watch is a straight spanish nerd called rangugamer. He is a rarity since I can see he doesn't care about clout, and he is hard working and considerate. A genuinely good person.

You are right about gamers only existing in two extremes. Homophobic pieces of shit or rainbow unicorns, no middle ground.

One of my favorites on youtube when if comes to gaming is the Kubz scouts channel. Jay is just a funny dude who likes to play games. No drama, no identity politics, no homophobia. He can be a bit load at times, so if that's not your cup of tea, that's totablly understandable.

I understand your annoyance, I've generally learned to ignore the politics and TRA nonsense, but it can get extremely annoying. I'll recommend a few people though.

Vinesauce: Although his twitch chat is annoying, he generally tries to stay clear from any politics. He does variety of games and is generally just an ok, fun guy. There is a lot of content he has streamed over the years and they are all archived on youtube, so there is a lot to choose from if you're new.

Fitzyhere: This is the only gay guy I've really enjoyed watching. He is really chill and fun and never gets mad playing a competitive shooter. Never really brings up politics of any kind. Downside is if you don't care for Overwatch, his main game (also plays Hearthstone) then you're shit out of luck. Still, I'd say you should check out his '' Fitzy Weekly '' youtube series that's a collection of highlights from his streams. Even if you're not that interested in Overwatch, I think Fitzy Weekly videos are great entertainment.

ZeplaHQ: She is mainly a FFXIV streamer/youtuber who recently got flack for defending herself playing Hogwarts Legacy and generally got the TRAs mad for that reason. She is fun, intelligent, and I think her taking a stance against what is clearly witch hunting and bullying shows great character. She even said she feels better now that she took a stance on the matter, and feels more like herself. Her content itself is pretty great too, if you're into MMORPGs which is generally her bread and butter. She also just does general gaming-related reaction content on her streams and commenting on drama. I wouldn't say she is not an '' inclusive '' streamer who steers from politics, but she took a stance and I respect her for it.

Let's Game It Out: Youtuber who makes videos of him doing ridiculous nonsense in simulator games, trying to break the game or just generally spending way too much time creating stupid but sort of amazing shit. I don't think I've ever seen him bring up anything politics related.

Wilburgur: Youtuber who makes some pretty heavily modded Skyrim and Oblivion content. Don't think there's ever been any politics related there. Just some classic funny youtube gaming content.

A_seagull: Mostly a FPS (Overwatch, Apex Legends) streamer but does some variety as well. Chill dude, no politics, very fun even if you don't care for FPS. Very infectious laugh.

DansGaming: I believe he is gay, and does variety gaming on Twitch. Recently finished Hogwarts Legacy as well. Unsure about how political he is because I dip in and out of his streams, but if you're fine streaming Hogwarts Legacy more or less in full, I feel like that says enough.

Imakuni: Another variety gaming stream, she mostly seems to have a thing for Nintendo and Japanese-made games. I think she steers away from politics, and is just a pretty average geek. I find her content quite fun though, and definitely worth a check.

I can't promise all of these are exempt from TRA nonsense, especially the last two because I'm not an avid watcher, but eh, I think it's a good place to start either way.

I unfortunately can't recommend any variety streamers or YouTubers for that matter, but here are some nicher gaming YouTubers who aren't TRAs.

Marcel Vos - he plays Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 in the most broken ways possible and teaches you how to do the same.

Settled - does ridiculously hard challenges in Old School Runescape.

SummoningSalt - does the history of speed running times for various games.

Josh Strife Hayes - is on a mission to find the worst MMO ever and has played dozens of ancient or forgotten MMOs. Also does video essays on video gaming in general.

WickedWiz - makes videos on games that were critically panned and tries to figure out what went wrong.

SilphSpectre - does monotype Pokémon hardcore nuzlockes (which translates to he plays Pokémon games with only one type of Pokémon, is not allowed to use items in battle, and if any of them faint, they're effectively dead and he can't catch another of that same species to replace them). I've only started watching him recently but he seems pretty chill.
