Shaun (born 16 June 1988) is a British YouTuber. Video essays by Shaun have covered popular culture and politics, specifically to critique neoliberalism, anti-feminism, and the alt-right. [4] [5]
Shaun began his current YouTube channel in 2016, and it is primarily funded through Patreon supporters. [6] Shaun has made left-wing videos about the 2017 Unite the Right rally, [7] [5] the 1994 book The Bell Curve, [8] the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, [6] politics in video games, [9] Native American history, [10] feminism [5] and white supremacy. [4] [5] He has also created a video series called How PragerU Lies to You, which criticizes and responds to videos created by American conservative YouTube channel PragerU, [5] and response videos to a controversial BBC article on trans women. [11]
His video "Doom: The Fake Outrage" was named by Polygon as one of 2018's best video essays, with Polygon describing him as "quite possibly the most droll human on the internet". [9]
Shaun has been included in an informal group of leftist YouTube essayists sometimes known as "BreadTube" [5] [12] or "LeftTube". This group also often includes Kat Blaque, ContraPoints, Hbomberguy, Lindsay Ellis, and Philosophy Tube. [13] [14] [4]
In 2025, Shaun raised $453,112 for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. [15]
So, in 2050, I will be, for example, 62 years old.
