I just realized why I feel more comfortable watching the McElroys than most other internet/youtube people: They strive to be good people instead of just being “harmless”.

While the boys usually refrain from being political in their content, they don’t refrain from being political in real life. We’re living in a time where politics is changing everyone’s lives in a major way, and while it’s fine to not have a public opinion on certain issues, I do like that the McElroys are unambiguous about which side they’re on.

Also, they call shit out when they need to. Griffin even directly addressed the Nick Robinson situation in their first Awful Squad without him. It always bothers me that so many internet celebrities can’t seem to call out their colleagues on shitty behavior.

I’m not saying we’re only allowed to like “unproblematic” things, and I usually avoid putting people on a pedestal, but I do wish more people I admire would act like the McElroys.
