I thought so. I'm not the most fervent Joel follower, I only watch videos (or put them on as background noise) that interest me, but outside of poking at literally everything lightly, i've never seen Joel swing one way or the other.
The choice to swipe at him is odd, when there are SO MANY OTHER content creators he could have. The first one that comes to mind would be Jontron, this dumb faggot even interacted with him for at least the Human Cake video, and Jon's already publicly labeled as a nigger killing Nazi thanks to the bad press he got from the Destiny interview years ago
