Why is Zesty Jesus such a controversial figure

[Anter84]

I don't watch Zesty Jesus or a lot of TF2 YouTube for that matter I just heard many people dislike him and I'd just like to know what he did.

Edit: Guys please stop arguing I just wanted to know what Zesty Jesus had done.

He holds the views of the majority of people on topics the majority of the modern internet disagrees with them on. The hatred is often tied to his acknowledgment of basic biology or political opinions. When it isn't related to that, it is largely for not being always jovial and a suck-up to Valve. This covers about 99.5% of the hatred he faces, the rest may be somewhat reasonable people.

"Basic biology" mfs when they realize there's more to biology than the basics

Gamete size is more advanced and proves the same thing. Not that you need to know that if you have eyes and a brain.

i just find him annoying and also think it's weird that he's friends with a diaperfur.

And so are the many other factors that determine sex, the existence intersex people that inherently disproves the notion of a sex binary, and the interactions between sex hormones and the human body. Not even mentioning how several aspects of sex just... don't matter as much as the "basic biology" crowd likes to believe, mostly because you can't see them and, in the case of hormones and their effects on your body, because you can just change them. The only aspect of sex that actually matters are the ones used for reproduction and those don't get used too often, hell society literally shames you for showing them off and flaunting them around. Seriously, find me a practical application for gametes and chromosomes that matter even a fraction as much as genitalia and hormones.
All of this isn't even taking Gender into account. As much as I like to say it's pointless, we live in a world where people don't recognize the fact that it's just a label we put onto people give it way more power than it should reasonably have. In the interest of time, let me just say for you that you don't want me to list off all of the things Gender affects that ends up making it infinitely more impactful than Sex will ever wish to be.
If you want to act better than me, do that on your turf.

i don't know that he is uniquely outspoken or a controversial guy.
weak people just can't handle being disagreed with.

[Jenkem Junkie]

Yeah I'm not very well-informed about this guy, either. From a surface level he doesn't seem too bad.

[Guard 2(Never Retired)]

because he's not a milquetoast reddit libtard like half the people that play this game

[† hanako :3c ♡]

idk

team fortress 2

[Bad Medic Buddy]

he's not toxicly positive about everything and he has a few boring, milquetoast conservative opinions on the trans.

The venn diagram of people who are offended by these things is a circle, so to a bunch of mentally unstable freaks he's the worst person ever. A couple of youtubers went after him on twitter once their fans sent zesty's coworkers cp (according to zesty at least)

[Cranky Kong Gaming]

Here's my best guess:
Because the TF2 playerbase is slowly becoming the Hello Kitty fanbase of gaming (UwU on the outside, spite-driven and feral on the inside)

Zesty, over his many years of playing TF2, hasn't changed to adhere to this adjustment, so he has been seen as more and more of an outcast from the playerbase.

[Storm User #BringBackQuickplay]

From my observation it's a combination of a few things:

1. The J-Peg can of worms (there's numerous videos about it)
2. His views are seen as contrarian and he's fired back against his critics
3. Lots of references to anime

[UNCLEWOKIAN DANEBOT MIND-VIRUS]

zestys dating app matches tanked from three to nothing the moment he was tricked into putting being a tf2ber in his bio and you know what i say its deserved

[Sam Hydes Christian Grift]

He is one of the few “honest” tf2 content creators, so of course people complain.
