Karl Jobst: Still Racist (and Fash), in 2025

Posted on by Persephone van der Waard

In 2021, Karl Jobst was exposed for having ties to Neo-Nazi speedrunner, RWhiteGoose. He not only never apologized for this; he’s still racist/fash in 2025 in ways others—including various racial minorities—won’t investigate, and I want to document that collective issue among the wider gamer community, here. Despite my gender oppression and trans emasculation trading my male privilege for male alien status, I have relative white privilege in regards to racial privilege, so I’ll blow the whistle!

Note: Blowing the whistle extends to popular media and those who consume it uncritically; e.g., Doom: the Dark Ages (2025) and my own review of that game critiquing its fascist consumer base alongside it. Rebellion happens onstage and off!

Summary

To summarize, Karl was exposed in a court of law on April 1st, 2025, for—among other things—lying to defrauding his audience. To it, I’ve looked more into his racism and other bigotries; i.e., by investigating him, but also anyone (token or not) who defends him. There’s a lot of findings/persons to keep track of—e.g., “Karl Jobst Is RACIST in 2025 + Full Evidence!” and “Token Racist Who Defends Karl Jobst Is Sexist and Queerphobic, Too?“—which I’ve compiled into this larger compendium. Said compendium summarizes my research and findings, but also various works by other people; i.e., those who have also investigated Karl and his friends, the entirety of our combined materials going back years (to at least 2018, but frankly further back than that if you also consider Karl’s pick-up artistry from the mid-2010s and Golden Eye speedrunning days from the early ’00s).

Most of My Work on Karl (and Karl’s Obiters/Defenders)

Note: I will update this piece if any further information comes to light. I will also provide my own coverage, listing it at the top of the page for any who are curious; i.e., this page is a summary of the findings surrounding Karl’s racism, whereas I’ve written and recorded quite a bit more about Karl’s bigotry—his racism, sexism and cryptofascism—than is being shown here; i.e., this page merely records the base findings, reporting my overall conclusions regarding said findings. Alongside those, here are my extended writings and videos those conclusions are based on:

(source: “BACKSTABBER,” where Gen-X censored the images himself and complained about them to his audience. Please the image [above] is originally censored by him, but censored even more by me [elsewhere] because he couldn’t even do that right—accidently showing labia and butthole to his own YouTube audience! Here is my original community post on YouTube about it, as well as my video response to him [“Intraracial Bigotry from a Token Pimp!“] attacking not just my friends, but also his own non-white friend for defending me.)

Token Defenders of Karl (feat. Gen-X Gamer, Tommy Tallarico and Potion Sword Run)

  • YouTube: “A Token Bigot Goes Full Mask-Off Fascist!” (May 11th, 2025): Gen-X Gamer goes full mask-off*; i.e., this time saying he’ll prove that I’m a “fraud,” only to employ witch-hunt and conversion therapy arguments while deadnaming me and misgendering my friends and I. He also: apologizes for sexual/sex worker abuse, slut and kink shames myself and others, hates on artists/poor people/service workers, denies the validity of my arguments and relationships, calls me a coward for talking about my own rape, and attacks my professions (re: sex worker and erotic artist fundraising for sex workers and disabled people, with him literally comparing me to Andrew Tate while confessing to his own wife being a sex pest)—all while still being racist, sexist, and transphobic as he brown-noses Karl Jobst! Dude straight up is asking Karl—a broke cryptofascist who misled his own audience to fleece them (now a matter of public record; re: the Billy Mitchell lawsuit judge calling Karl out)—to sue me for calling Karl and Gen-X racist. The point, here, is that abusive persons like Gen-X are precisely the sort that Karl’s own behavior attracts; i.e., those from his own community who emulate him (token or otherwise): Karl is a bad actor who lies to actively harm minorities; e.g., trying to get LUS to report on a false claim about The Completionist that originated from Karl (LUS’ “Karl Jobst ‘Jirard Bait’ Failed After Lying about the Completionist Suing“).

*Please bear in mind that Gen-X initially acted like he didn’t know about Karl’s racism; i.e., that he asked me for sources (re: “My Final Say“; timestamp: 34:43), then insisted that the sources I gave him were “made up” (re: “Token Racist Who Defends”)—doing so despite Karl acknowledging them back in 2021 (Karl Jobst’s “I’m being SUED and CANCELED!“; timestamp: 3:59) and me pointing that out to him (re: “Token Racist Who Defends”). Gen-X and Karl are cut from the same cloth, with Gen-X feverishly defending Karl despite being shown irrefutable evidence that Karl is racist (e.g., the Nazi salute, below). He’s the Roman fool stabbing himself for Karl’s benefit, insisting as he does so, “I’m pure intelligence, you’re not” (Sublime’s “Raleigh Soliloquy Pt. I,” 1994).

To it, Gen-X’s fatal, us-versus-them vision equates to a pimp-like view of the world—one projected onto his whore-like victims (mirror syndrome), but one we can expose him with after he goes mask-off (reversing abjection); i.e., once he unmasks himself, he can’t go back (crossing the Rubicon, as it were). Gen-X is a race traitor and traitors, race or not, classically harbor a contradictory worldview—one instilled into them by capital, and which he and others like him want their audience (and their victims) to believe is both total and enforceable without question. But the fact remains that some people will question it—and all while still being fair in their own criticism; e.g., Potion Sword Run viewing me as human and recognizing Gen-X’s police-like behaviors against me (“Gen Ex Gamer Exposed By Persephone“).

According to Potion, both men even come from the same struggle around which a “marginalized community of misfits” was built: a videogame grifter called Tommy Tallarico who stole everyone’s money during the Intellivision Amico Scandal (indented for emphasis):

I was thinking about how Potion and Gen-X met during Amico (merely because it gets mentioned by both men a lot). Given the size of the scandal and the pedigree involved, it feels on par with saying you met someone at Woodstock or after the JFK Assassination, and that’s fine. People argue about Stalin’s validity as a ruler or whether or not the moon landing was faked. Though not quite on that level (the theatre of nations), the Intellivision Amico scandal is definitely more upper-class/white-collar crime than anything Karl committed (though Karl’s crime is still white-collar, just smaller). The person who asked me to study the scandal explained, “It’s like the Fyre Festival or Theranos of video gaming.” While Theranos was a billion-dollar scam, I’m nonetheless beginning to see what they mean; i.e., Tallarico was “the cousin of Aerosmith Singer, Steven Tyler, and someone who has worked in the videogame industry for over three decades on 250 titles” (Slope’s Game Room’s four-hour 2023 documentary, “The Intellivision Amico Scandal“): a con man who duped Intellivision donors out of a cool $17 million (versus Karl’s relatively small-time $200k GoFundMe con and ~$1.8 million legal fees):

[source: “Intraracial Bigotry”; though Potion would go onto explain Amico further during the opening to his video, “Why Defend Persephone Against Gen Ex and Not CPE From Cueya!?” Said video also discusses factionalism; i.e., echoing the half-reality of rival social clubs not just in the so-called “real world” but on the Internet, therefore within media as an extension of said world; e.g., the theme of familial drama, generational rivalries, unaddressed trauma/dueling revenge fantasies, and forbidden love: the Montagues and the Capulets, from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (1597); the Hatfields and the McCoys, romanticized by Mark Twain (1884); and the Sharks and the Jets, from The Westside Story (a 1961 adaptation of the 1957 musical, effectively being a racialized star-crossed lovers narrative for white middle-class Americans to “slum” with); etc.]

Crime is crime, and size doesn’t matter insofar as Karl is fash; i.e., someone who wants the power of the upper crust like Tallarico: as a more gentrified (and notably non-white) blowhard (echoes Beowulf and his own kayfabe-style tall tales; see: Beige Frequency’s “Hulk Hogan’s Most DESPICABLE Lie(s)” or Behind the Bastard’s “Part One: Vince McMahon, History’s Greatest Monster“). In any event, the fact that Potion and Gen-X met during Intellivision—and that they covered its multi-year development alongside the likes of even larger channels like Smash JT (“Is the Intellivision Amico becoming a SCAM?“)—doesn’t strike me as especially profound, historically. Neither man ties directly to the events in question, but rather remains caught in its colossal wake. In short, neither Potion nor Gen-X knew Tommy (as far as I can tell, anyways), but instead were friends with each other who wrote about him in the same community of fans/orbiters; i.e., two folks living in the same general area from different political stripes who covered a big-time scandal surrounding something they both cared about: videogames.

Videogames, like most popular media in the West, are classically male and white, leaving people not just like me, a trans woman, but Potion and Gen-X stuck on the outside, alien. The key difference (for us) is, one of them is a token bigot and the other is not (re: Gen-X misgendering me and Potion asking him not to). My investigation could be entirely about underwater basket-weaving versus videogames and the takeaway wouldn’t change: racism and other bigotries pursuant to fascism are wrong. AFAB! All Fascists Are Bad! So are con men in general, white skin or not—capital an endless conveyor belt of kayfabe-style bread and circus run by hauntological strongmen (or at least silver tongues) obsessed with the imaginary past. Like the Hulkster’s throbbing shaft banging his friend Bubba the Lovesponge’s wife (Behind the Bastard’s “Hulk Hogan vs Gawker“), the profit motive is ‘swole and vain (that was a pun); it leads to systemic abuse of all kinds—of women, children and minorities—by status-quo ringleaders in popular media of all kinds (not just videogames). As Tommy and Gen-X prove, sometimes the abuser is big, famous and awful, but sometimes just awful*. Little abusers want to be big abusers, and they’ll punch down at anyone who gets in their way (or reminds them they suck, below).

*Watching hbomberguy’s “ROBLOX_OOF.mp3” (a documentary about Amico), I couldn’t help but think of Gen-X pulling the race card when I called him out for being token and defending racist people like Karl Jobst; i.e., acting in ways eerily similar to Tommy Tallarico, also an ethnic minority and someone who hung around white supremacists while calling anyone who dared critique his shady dealings “gamer racists” (timestamp: 14:54). “History repeats once in tragedy and then in farce,” Marx wrote, in 1852 (source: “The Eighteenth Brumaire”); and the best predictor for future events are past clues. Use these clues to spot and denude future fascists, including race traitors (and class traitors at large, who almost always are sex pests in some shape or form).

Note: I’ve written a lot about Amazons and Metroidvania on their own, but also about fascism and kayfabe vis-à-vis strongmen (or strongwomen; re: Autumn Ivy and “The Nation-State“), fascism and videogames. Start with my PhD (and its online promo, “The Total Codex“) for tons of in-depth discussions about such things (e.g., “The Quest for Power” and Tolkien and Cameron’s monomyth refrains, the High Fantasy treasure map and shooter). Consider Volume Three’s “Inside the Man Box” for something more dedicated to bigoted, pimp-like streamers; re: Caleb Hart and people like him aping Pygmalion by acting strong but, in truth, being afraid of everything and having to coerce and cover up their own abusive relationships (re: with Caleb having his mommy and daddy coerce Barbie Edge, a woman of color sex worker, into aborting her child after he got her pregnant; source: “My Story,” 2020). The only time such persons are happy is when they’re in control and harming others with said control, so we must take it away from them: through our voice as the antidote to silence, thus rape and genocide.

Notice a pattern, here? Private property is theft and videogames have embodied privatization for the status quo since the neoliberal era (re: “Modularity and Class“; see: “Those Who Walk Away”); i.e., men like Karl (or those imitating him) imitating OG entitled sex pests and bigots like Bill Gates (Behind the Bastards’ “The Ballad of Bill Gates, part one“). Fascism recruits from broken homes, but some homes are more broken than others (and operate on the usual American redlines).

In other words, while people with privilege can still be oppressed (re: me) because privilege and oppression—while modular—are relative and intersectional, crossing to varying degrees of relative intersection, the inverse is also true. So while privileged people like Karl Jobst (or Tommy Tallarico, above) betray mostly out of convenience, many oppressed people tokenize out of desperation for privileged people they de facto serve. This breeds a kind of cruel, “pick me” loyalty even when one side largely isn’t aware of the other’s existence. Instead, it’s merely taken for granted (as Karl does with token fans like Gen-X defending him, a cryptofascist, no matter what).

The fact remains, Gen-X tragically embodies the faithful “loyal one” who will lick the boots of those who kick him even when it’s staring him in the face; he’ll attack the marginalized—his fellow oppressed, including sex workers, racial minorities and/or GNC people—in effect becoming a de facto token cop/vigilante (which he’ll call “self-defense” in bad faith); i.e., he was fine with milking Karl after the lawsuit, and even with me acknowledging Karl’s “alleged” (according to him) bigotries until I started to suspect (and openly accuse) Gen-X of being token (thus a racist grifter who, when confronted with accusations thereof, starting calling me one to [badly] cover his tracks): an aura of protection that Gen-X Gamer has been conditioned to think will protect him, a priori (re: Force of Will/might makes right).

(source: left and right)

Again, fascism cares about nothing except theft of power and will lie about anything—however obviously not true it is—to acquire power (often money* but not always). As such, those who defend the system defend it despite the toxic leaks; i.e., trying to keep up appearances (and maintain a sense of normality through the abjection process denying any wrongdoing) to let the exploitation continue until someone blows the whistle (usually more than once). Silence is genocide, including willful silence and repression of evidence by keeping mum. This silence is bought and paid for (e.g., YouTube monetization), which I’m presenting here to speak for itself: in proverbial volumes (with a commentary of mine to obviously spell things out).

*I.e., power takes precedence over money, price being no object; e.g., Karl literally bankrupted himself over the Billy Mitchell lawsuit (LUS’ “Karl Jobst Filed Bankruptcy According to Billy Mitchell | Complete WIN“), caring more about about controlling his fans that keeping himself afloat (or thinking about his family, who are dependent on him). By comparison, Gen-X not only defends Tommy Tallarico and Amico by using words like traitor to attack former friends like Potion (who is disabled from a failed kidney transplant, making Gen-X ableist on top of everything else), but Gen-X wants Karl to sue me and keeps defending him despite said bankruptcy. Such absurd shows of loyalty show how both men would rather die on these hills; i.e., perishing for their racist values than admit they were wrong and try to move on/change (re: assimilation is poor stewardship, but so is betrayal of any kind, because the state rapes nature and workers by design). They’re Roman fools, falling on their swords!

Further Notes on Karl’s Community (fellow conspirators; e.g., Smash JT and RazörFist)

Why all this work not just into Karl, but also those orbiting him? For starters, he belongs to a racist, sexist, transphobic and anti-sex-work community (re: gamers) where he has more privilege than anyone (re: Gen-X Gamer defending Karl) but also notoriety (re: Smash JT and others historically covering Karl as “news,” but also covering for him to a certain extent, even after he was exposed repeatedly in the past and present); Karl is friends with Smash JT and Smash JT* is friends not just with Gen-X Gamer (according to Gen-X; re: “BACKSTABBER: THE WORST AMICO HATER“; timestamp: 32:04) but also avid transphobe, loli consumer and former Blizzard employee/grifter Grummz (MLYP’s “Goonernomicon: Grummz | Part 2,” 2025). They’re all cut from the same cloth—the cloth of fascism pimping the rest of us through layered toxic gamer culture as the same-old bread and circus (re: “Those Who Walk Away”). Fascists wear masks, including white moderate ones—all of which defend the structure of profit (thus genocide) that is Pax Americana.

*Smash JT is a conservative (ostensibly white, straight) grifter who only outs members of his own broader community (the Manosphere, essentially) when they personally attack him. And when he does so, he blames it on “the Left”; e.g., saying that Razorfist—an alt-right metalhead whose formerly underaged girlfriend accused him of abusing her (which is automatically true because Razorfist was in his twenties when dating this person, making it statutory rape, below)—isn’t on the Right but the Left, according to Smash JT (“RazörFist Threatens to SUE Me for… Reacting to a Video,” 2025). He says this because—again, according to him—the Left censors free speech and the Right doesn’t, to which I respond:

Sweetie, you’re high off your ass if you think RazörFist is a leftist. Like, for real—do you seriously think Trump, Musk or anyone else on the Right is about protecting free speech? But way to use one of your own to come after your politic enemies; i.e., as a proxy to scapegoat and blame the Left for (source).

i.e., these are same cancel culture arguments that Gamergate types like Gen-X and Karl Jobst have used to protect them and theirs, but also capital (with Elon Musk advocating for such matters on Twitter before buying it and turning it into a Nazi-infested hellscape: “boundaries for me, not for thee” and reactive abuse kettling the usual victims by the usual cops playing the victims). In short, Razor was ignored for his behaviors until those behaviors couldn’t be ignored—i.e., it was reported that he was abusing his then-nineteen-year-old girlfriend back in 2020 (the same year Caleb was abusing Barbie Edge and Karl’s own abuses came to light), except they were already breaking up by that point; the two had actually been dating since she was fifteen (back in 2016 during Gamergate and Trump’s presidency). That’s statutory rape. Except no one bothered to report on it until the statute of limitations were practically up (seven years in Arizona where Razorfist reportedly lives, though he may have committed the crimes, elsewhere).

To it, things leak when society is toxic (and capital is toxic by design; re: “Toxic Schlock Syndrome“), but the legal system and canonical media more broadly historically serve to protect white straight men and have since Antiquity into the Middle Ages and beyond (whose ancient canonical laws [re: Foucault vis-à-vis Broadmoor’s 2021 “Camping the Canon“] have been camped by Neo-Gothic writers, including conservative ones; e.g., Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian; or, The Confessionals of the Black Penitents, 1797). The Scooby Doo villain is always an insider (re: “Radcliffe’s Refrain“). Meanwhile, one hand washes the other, the white moderate lying for the white reactionary—with Smash JT only covering Razor’s rape allegations in 2025 after someone else talked about them (“The Fall of ‘Razorfist’“). He likewise hasn’t discussed Karl’s racism at all (to my knowledge; i.e., keeping mum despite both men having been friends for years).

On top of that, Moistcr1tikal and Some Ordinary Gamers—a white chud and token Zionist (re: Noah Samsen’s “The Genocide Supporting YouTubers Responded“)—both threw Karl under the bus after the suit, each man denying prior knowledge; e.g., Moistcr1tikal playing dumb despite being a witness in the actual lawsuit (Iotku Alt’s “Moistcr1tikal Reacts to Karl Jobst LOSING to Billy Mitchell“); i.e., despite their lawyers having to have known the same information I did: publicly available information that Karl himself confirmed that was, itself, available for years and requiring only a quick Google search to access. The fact remains, racism, sexism, and queer phobia go hand-in-hand with sexual abuse (which includes rape denial/apologia); i.e., to protect the white straight man as the center of history to defend and uphold since the founding of Capitalism out of the Enlightenment (see: John the Duncan’s 2025 “Woke Is Dead,” which I respond to: “A Gothic Researcher/Author/Sex Worker/Activist Responds…“; timestamp: 1:01:15). The system, by design, enables white straight/token liars to police itself with, forming a cone of silence that is nonetheless plain to see during the cryptonymy process: capital infantilizes its defenders and victims alike, breeding a culture of abuse that—you geussed it—favors the men; i.e., insofar as it expects them to toxify and become completely dishonest, untrustworthy and harmful to everyone around them, yet convinced they’re God’s gift to women everywhere. Capital, out of the ancient world into the new, has always been Patriarchal.

(source: left and right)

To that, “free speech” is a cryptonym for capital, which people like Smash JT and Karl stand in for and use to attack minorities with, DARVO-and-obscurantism-style; i.e., during moral panics that just so happen to center entirely around them: the white straight male sex pest being the perpetual victim (that token examples emulate; re: “black skin, white masks” and Man Box). It’s cops/robbers, except Smash JT is no better/more of an investigative journalist that Karl is. Karl lied in court about being one despite making money off it (LUS’ “Did Karl Jobst Lie About Being an Investigative Journalist in US Court?“), and Smash JT’s own verification methods are so poor that a troll saying so decided to prove it: by faking a corporate e-mail, sending Smash JT false info, and then reminding everyone afterwards that it was bullshit from the start (which Smash JT missed because he didn’t do his due diligence; see: Quazar77’s “Smash JT is a Grifter,” 2025; timestamp: 20:09).

And yet, Smash JT’s own bad reputation is—similar to Karl’s—something to mask, his doing so allegedly going back years (Toploaded Gaming’s “Fake AF: The Many Faces Of Smash JT,” 2020). “Impunity is the apex of privilege” as something that breeds stupidity through the privileged, who police themselves for profit—failing up, as it were (source: “Valorizing the Idiot Hero,” 2021). That’s how the system, ergo fascism, works; form follows function, white men taught to harm others for profit, including by lying—in short by acting like a fash (crypto or otherwise).

Analyzing the Evidence (re: Karl is still racist and fash in 2025; feat. Ersatz and LUS)

And for anyone saying in 2025 that Karl Jobst isn’t racist/fash, or not wanting to discuss it after his failed lawsuit defense (source: Smash JT’s “Fans Are PISSED At Karl Jobst After TRUTH Comes Out In Billy Mitchell Lawsuit”), this image of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute (from Trump’s inauguration rally) was on Karl’s Discord not even two weeks ago, 4/22/2025; i.e., after he lost in court (and despite him investigating Musk for cheating):

This is racist, because the Nazi salute is racist, period. Using it makes you racist, ipso facto, but especially in light of past events that involve Karl and various racist people—most notably a Neo-Nazi named RWhiteGoose. To that, there are some additional clues if the above image by itself is not convincing (for ye of good faith):

  • One, Karl’s defence fund against the Billy Mitchell lawsuit (which he lied about) was funded by Notch, a billionaire with alt-right views (see tweets, listed on Reddit). Said views align with Elon Musk, also billionaire with alt-right views (and the person in the meme Karl used last month). To that, LUS goes so far as to defend Notch, a billionaire with alt-right views, for being “a really nice dude” (“Karl Jobst + Billionaire Notch + $700,000 Legal Team = Bankruptcy“; timestamp: 1:48); i.e., for Notch defending Karl—a known cryptofascist—by literally paying his defense fund. This effectively makes LUS a token lawyer, specifically a moderate GNC race traitor turning a blind eye (Persephone van der Waard’s “Token Asian GNC Lawyer Defends Alt-Right Billionaire“); i.e., LUS has denied and defended Karl’s racism before; re: by calling Karl’s behavior “racism” only to tone-police himself, including by calling it “past behaviors” despite having access to Karl’s racist discord where Karl has done the Nazi salute in 2025 (re: “The Relative Tokenism“).
  • Two, the original leaked messages (CW: racist slurs), which I’ve covered at length in a previous YouTube video, “Karl Jobst Is RACIST in 2025 + Full Evidence!“:

  • Three, that said evidence from those messages was confirmed by Karl himself, despite others suggesting otherwise. For example, in my latest video, “Token Racist Defends Karl Jobst’s Racism?” Gen-X Gamer insinuates how the Discord screencaps from back in 2021 were “fake.” He says, “But now you guys want to expose him for things that you claim are on the Internet, that you claim he put up there, and I believe that you believe that” (timestamp: 4:37). The problem with that is, Karl himself already responded to the messages in question, back in 2021; i.e., responding to each of them in turn and verifying they how were, in fact, real (Karl Jobst’s “I’m Being SUED And CANCELLED!”; timestamp: 3:59).

Regarding point three, lets remember a few additional subpoints:

  • Karl doesn’t even deny that Goose is a Nazi (nor was Goose quiet about his beliefs); he says that he, Karl, was “being canceled” during guilt by association—in short that Karl’s innocent (according to him), essentially being caught in a server run by an out-and-out Neo-Nazi while having conversations with said Nazi about why it’s ok to say racial slurs (re: the evidence from the screencaps, discussed in “Karl Jobst Is RACIST“); i.e., that it’s “just a coincidence” and that racial slurs, according to Karl, “aren’t used by anyone he knows in Australia” (despite him and Goose having conversations about when and where its ok to use slurs, Karl breaking his own rule). In other words, Karl used his usual “I’m the victim and I’m being canceled by the woke mob” nonsense (standard fash DARVO), along with “it can’t be bigoted because it’s all an inside joke between friends who aren’t racist” because… Karl says they’re not racist. In fash systems of argument, this is called the Force of Will.
  • Goose was a bonafide Nazi, and banned for it in December 2018 (source: Dopefishblog’s “Why Banning Nazis is Good, Actually”). Not only that, but Karl knew about his beliefs before the ban, saying as much in the 2021 confession; i.e., saying they were actually planning to do a public apology for Goose (to get ahead of things) before someone blew the whistle, beating them to the punch. Karl had already cleaned up his side of things, but Goose had gotten caught with his pants down. And from there, Karl just denied and downplayed everything in his usual style. But despite his additional explanations back then, he’s still racist and sexist in 2025 much like he was in earlier times—all on top of now also being a proven cheater himself who defrauded his audience and lost in court over false allegations against Billy Mitchell.
  • LUS himself, a non-white lawyer, has previously explained how Karl Jobst’s discord is still to this day full of racist material that LUS—if they were in Karl’s shoes—would have deleted by now (LUS’ “Exposing Karl Jobst GoFundMe Scandal 2 Years Ago”; timestamp: 16:03). So, the stuff from 2018 and 2019 that Karl said “wasn’t racist” back in 2021—including about his Chinese wife—LUS, an Asian American, thinks is “disturbing” and “a little racist”; i.e., to the level that it made him vocally feel upset and lose a lot of respect for Karl. Maybe LUS was referring to the “J*P” comment instead of the one about Karl’s wife, or the hip-hop stuff, but it doesn’t really matter. Racism is just as much about how someone’s conduct makes a racial minority feel as it also pertains to the academic side of things (though LUS is a lawyer and weighs in as a lawyer*). And to that, Karl is racist because he made LUS feel discriminated against in 2025 based on older material.

*As a lawyer, LUS does not think highly of Karl (or his friends; e.g., Ersatz, who—say what you will about him from a legal standpoint, including the wisdom of writing a 97-page, 35,000-word article with 568 citations dragging the judge for Karl’s case after Karl lost—at least has the decency to speak out against genocide, above).

Of Karl, LUS says in a recent follow-up video (to summarize): “If Karl doesn’t appeal, he’s done an incredibly, incredibly bad thing to the Australian YouTuber community […] Karl is not a hero; he should never have gone to trial/to verdict and, after he did, he should have settled. It was never to late to settle. This sets a very bad legal precedent for all YouTubers in Australia, and that is Karl’s fault” (LUS’ “Lawyer on How Karl Jobst Losing to Billy Mitchell Will Hurt Youtubers”; timestamp: 17:03).

  • Even here, LUS—a token non-white queer person—tone-polices themselves; i.e., by saying that Karl’s behavior has been racist in the past and the present, but also that they find the word racist “distasteful” (re: “The Relative Tokenism“). Instead, LUS would rather say that Karl’s “not very nice, let’s say, to racial minorities” (LUS’ “Karl Jobst ‘The Completionist Just Filed a Lawsuit Against Me” Clickbait’; timestamp: 1:07); i.e., while refusing to show Karl being racist on his own Discord to demonstrate said racism. To that, LUS is doing some seriously heavy lifting to play devil’s advocate for a cryptofascist—all while acknowledging that Karl’s fanbase, in their opinion as a lawyer and Asian person, is racist towards Asian people (e.g., Karl’s wife). Even so, I want to stress that—while LUS’ tokenism is less overt than Gen-X Gamer’s—LUS still defends Karl (to a lesser extent) by refusing to investigate Karl’s racism. Yet, LUS is also more conflicted, because he keeps addressing said racism; re: by calling it racism and reminding people where they can go to find it despite LUS burying the lead.
  • But also, on the academic side of things (my domain), dude’s racist as hell, has alt-right ties tied to capital (re: a billionaire paying his legal fees), and not only refused to apologize for his bigoted past, but actually insisted it was a conspiracy against him; i.e., making DARVO and cryptofascist obscurantist arguments against his accusers being “cancel culture.” That’s what a Nazi—specifically a cryptofascist—would do. Furthermore, Karl loved to speak in medieval language, labeling himself a knight and going on spurious crusades in bad-faith while conning people in the process (another Nazi trick); i.e., using various smokescreens and distractions (e.g., investigating Musk in public [Karl Jobst’s “The Elon Musk Cheating Scandal,” 2025] while endorsing him in private) to lie to his viewers’ faces.

Conclusion: Unrepentant Fash (and friends; feat. LUS, Gen-X, and EZScape)

For a man that says he’s “not racist,” Karl Jobst is lying because: one, that’s what cryptofascists do, but also being racist in plain sight despite the lies. He is, and his friends are, too. They don’t care about anything but keeping up appearances and holding onto power (moderates) or stealing power in bad faith (reactionaries). There’s bound to be casualties.

For example, Karl is now attacking LUS for LUS’ coverage of Karl, which Karl thinks is ban-worthy. On 5/16/2025, LUS got really mad and did a three-hour livestream talking about it (“Karl Jobst Threatens to Report My Channel“):

Couple things of note in this stream:

  • around 44:44, Gen-X—a person who originally asked Karl to sue me because I called Gen-X “token” and which I replied, “Karl ain’t suing anyone; he’s broke”—shows up in LUS’ stream to show his support (for which LUS thanks him and tells people to go subscribe, not apparently realizing how bigoted Gen-X is)
  • around 1:28:36, LUS—after some prodding by me in the audience—brings up Karl’s racism, including examples of Karl’s racist behavior I hadn’t seen before.

So, props to LUS for mentioning Karl’s racism (and shame on Gen-X for turning coat, but reactionaries don’t believe in anything but power as something to steal for the state). That being said, LUS also repeatedly asks Billy Mitchell on-stream to show Karl mercy. To be fair, it’s more for Karl’s wife and son, but all the same, the “human shield” approach still applies; i.e., get married, use spouse as shield from criticism. And while I think preventative justice is what we need to push towards, moving away from punitive justice in the US and elsewhere, the fact remains that LUS talking about “family values” and defending one’s family seemingly no matter what demonstrated just how non-impartial they are—like, to the point that LUS repeatedly says that they didn’t want to discuss Karl’s racism but that Karl “had left LUS no choice”; i.e., that they won’t discuss racism unless forced to. This “cover for each other” approach leads the heads of different families to only criticize one another if they attack each other—to turn a blind eye until then, that is. And that’s largely what LUS has been doing with Karl; i.e., “being neutral,” in their own words, and feeling betrayed by Karl because of Karl attacking LUS anyways.

In other words, LUS knows that Karl has been racist, but has been hesitant to discuss it because Karl, like LUS, is a father, a family man; and because of this, LUS has largely been keeping quiet about Karl’s racism (re: “being neutral” in their coverage of Karl). My fellow GNC person: even if you keep quiet about it, it’s still there, and now Karl is attacking you in bad faith. Stop defending racist people like him; re: by keeping quiet (even part of the time) about racism. You spent all this time during the stream (and elsewhere) saying that Karl’s bad news—including puzzling over his willingness to go after other peoples’ families despite you protecting him. Except the answer is right in front of you and always has been: Karl is fascist, which perfectly explains his behavior towards you and others. But you’re still trying to Return-of-the-Jedi his ass, appealing to him in good faith (debating the Nazi, in other words): “There is still good in you [Karl], I can feel it!” My dude, Karl is fascist and has fascist/alt-right friends (re: RWhiteGoose, but also Notch). Stop covering for Karl, LUS!

On that note, here’s more evidence of Karl being racist, which LUS knew about; i.e., saying “Hey, did they delete it?” when searching for the below image, then insisting “I didn’t want to go here, Karl; you forced me to do this!” This information has been available for years, and keeping quiet only enables people like Karl to stew in their own bigotry (read: echo chambers). Scolding him after he’s gone toxic ain’t gonna do shit, LUS, and now Karl’s attacking you (which Notch only enabled by funding Karl’s defense, but also you for covering for both men). Fascists are loyal to no one but themselves; don’t debate Nazis:

In times of crisis, the self-styled “righteous beyond reproach” are systemically the most guilty and dangerous—demonstrably kettling the women, children and minorities they fear to pimp them as alien. But revolutions go both way, the Medusa speaking through us on the Aegis, and us to our enemies through our nude flashing of the Gorgon’s power to have the whore’s revenge (re: “Rape Reprise” and “Chapter Five: Rebellious Subterfuge“). We can’t rely on the police to protect us because police pimp whores to defend property. We must be our own Valkyries, defending our homes from these cheap creepy thugs; i.e., by exposing them as the dorky pimps they are, licking the state’s boots. So when the Man comes around, show him your Aegis and let him testify to his own treachery when trying to closet you; segregation and silence are no defense, so no pasarán!

Note: My book series Sex Positivity is all about challenging this. I recently released my fourth volume/sixth book on May 9th (re: “My Sixth Book Is Out!“), and will be celebrating the entire series on June 1st (my birthday). When I do, I will link that celebration, here! —Perse, 5/14/2025
