Hero Hei

Hero Hei is an American YouTuber known for making anime/manga fandom commentary videos.
==Content==
Hero Hei started out making RWBY reviews, theories and discussion videos on the characters. He would occasionally review other shows like Samurai Jack but stick to RWBY as the main focus of his channel. When RWBY volumes ended, he would focus on anime like Darling in the Franxx and Attack on Titan. However, he decided to make commentary videos when the Vic Mignogna controversy arose. Where a voice actor, Vic Mignogna, was accused of being inappropriate following a wave of accusations under #KickVic. This caught his attention as Mignogna had voiced Qrow Branwen in RWBY. In his opinion there was a lack of solid evidence against Mignogna and he made multiple videos defending him and criticizing Funimation and Rooster Teeth (the dubbing companies that cut ties with him). From then onwards he would focus his channel on commentary. 
He also makes videos about Twitter drama and controversies in fandoms, particularly topics like sexualization of characters, racebending, fanart, voice acting and Japanese culture (this is not limited to anime as he has also made videos on Western Animation and Genshin Impact amongst others). He is critical of social justice advocacy on Twitter but he is not completely against the concept of social justice. His criticism of it, is that to him, it is too often used for self-serving interests on social media instead of increasing the quality of life for people at large. Hero Hei is also an avid fan of hololive, making videos about news/updates on their VTubers. He congratulated Mel Yozora on her debut video, and he was greatly saddened to hear about Coco Kiryu's retirement, making videos on her too. While Hero Hei has gained a lot of popularity on YouTube he has also been criticized by some for his clickbait thumbnails and low effort style of videos. Nevertheless, some Twitter artists have thanked him for standing up for them and bringing light to their harassment.
