Hunter Avallone

Hunter Vincent Avallone (born: ) is an American internet personality who is known for his political videos and Twitch streams. He was a leading figure in the anti-SJW community on YouTube until evolving his views in late 2019. His channel was rising to 700k subscribers, until he lost over 100k subscribers due to his shift in politics. After a long process of introspection, Avallone left the right and called himself a free thinker, then a Social Democrat. This entailed massive subscriber losses, online fights with right-wing commentators, and denouncement of former acquaintances.
Hunter unlisted all of his conservative content that contains slurs and hate speech, adding them to a YouTube playlist called "old conservative content." He has since criticized many of the videos in the playlist. 
==Early life==
Hunter Vincent Avallone was born in Arnold, Maryland, on November 11, 1996. He is the oldest of six siblings.https://www.tiktok.com/@avallonehunter/video/6813087141413801221?lang=en
Avallone was born into a conservative family, though they were not particularly political.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azi7M7Ueaoo Avallone also had a Christian upbringing; he initially attended a kindergarten at a Christian private school, before being homeschooled.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHKgPSMMCCohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpFgleVyyOg He made videos at a young age,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azi7M7Ueaoo posting videos with his brother on a channel called "Comic Shower"https://www.youtube.com/user/avallonefamily/videos and posted admittedly "cringy" photos of himself onto Google Plus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxILM54d_uw
==YouTube career==
Avallone started his YouTube channel in 2014 and posted his first video in the same year. His videos were initially apolitical, but posted his first political video in 2015. He occasionally posts apolitical videos. His videos almost exclusively argued for conservative views until mid-2019. 
Common series on his videos included his Liberals Ruin…, a series where he argues that liberals have negatively affected aspects of life. Other series include Buzzfeed Bashing.
He has criticized several political commentators from all over the political spectrum - left-wing YouTubers criticized include Vaushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDXBm3robE and Shoe0nHead, and conservative personalities such as Nicholas J. Fuentes and Kaitlin Bennett from Liberty Hangout,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAu7VQguM0U Vaush, Fuentes, and Bennett respectively responded. He has occasionally debated with other YouTubers, most notably Vaush. He regularly does debates with other political commentators, most recently, a live debate with far-right YouTuber John Doyle.
Hunter rejected many of his right-wing views in his 2020 video titled "Why I Left the Right",https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh4yyxtNkPk including his stance on LGBTQ issues. This was in part due to the a conversation with leftist streamer Vaushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-kQGo2rA0U and to the birth of his daughter Rose. Hunter stated that he was confronted by compelling data to support the validity of LGBT individuals at the same time he had his daughter. Initially, Hunter was worried about becoming a father but later realized the joys it entailed. After realizing he was wrong about something as significant as fatherhood, he began a process of self-reflection, wondering what else he might be wrong about. 
Right-wing commentators such as Actual Justice Warrior, Vincent James of The Red Elephants and Sargon Of Akkad made response videos to his transition. Vince alleged that he never had those views at all and called him a grifter. Sargon wished him all the best in the future. 
He opened a subscription service later that year called hunteravallone.tv; however, this failed to take off, and the website was abandoned. As of April 2022, the website is defunct. 
In early 2022, Hunter rebranded his video format into True Crime documentaries, where he would discuss serial murderers who had right-wing ideologies, such as QAnon believers and Incels. This was shortly discontinued. 
In February 2022, Hunter deleted all of his Youtube videos and most of his social media accounts. He later put them back up but unlisted most of his content made before 2020. He lost over 100 million views due to this. 
===Timcast IRL Podcast appearance (2020)===
After an interview with Tim Pool on December 14,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO4eERLrZzY viewers were dissatisfied with the manner Hunter presented himself, and his take on recent events, most notably the Hunter Biden-Ukraine scandal. Hunter has since acknowledged his poor performance and promised to use this mistake to learn and eventually grow into a better debater. 
==History==
===Initial neoconservative and anti-SJW commentary (2015-2019)===
He rose to prominence through his videos mocking progressive talking points. Around this time, he has expressed anti-feminist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_bVR7FyVEg and anti-sjw beliefs. He has argued that fundamentalist Islam is a greater threat to women’s rights and that Western third-wave feminism was useless. He opposed beliefs that are regularly associated with feminist and progressive beliefs, such as cultural appropriationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h617sTkCpQ8 and the Fat Acceptance movement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-pjMBJYvtk Consistent with conservative views, he said that he is pro-gun, though believes that access needs to be stricter to an extent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGwmuioKmo4 He has expressed anti-abortion views,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuJJowJikdk drawing parallels to Hitler’s Nazi regime.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UmxkYIEZIk He was generally opposed to Democratic candidates and politicians, including Hillary Clinton,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCkd9uf7QdM Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ESF5TV2nb4 and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUdrAliJWY In contrast, he was initially pro-Trump with reservations.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJYN0V8uIh8 He agreed with some Trump’s reasoning - to an extent - for his ban on transgender people on the military.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MLBNCvi_j4
He has expressed pro-LGBT views.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbDXBm3robE Although he has expressed disapproval for transgender people in the past, he has since disavowed this belief, and ridiculed his own previous beliefs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urWq8128H-c He has said in the past that the Black Lives Matter movement is racist, pointing out that certain members of the BLM movement had celebrated deaths of police officers. He did not believe that the movement was peaceful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OpYHE5dFII However, he condemned George Floyd's killing, believing it was indicative a larger systemic issue regarding the policing of black people.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_o2dvYgwA He has also accused certain feminists of being man-hating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjb1ZeDj3X4 He also has criticized corporate and progressive leftist news and opinion outlets such as CNN, The Young Turks, BuzzFeed, and Queer Kid Stuff for several reasons, including perceived hypocrisy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEwKjPTCwrs
===Shift away from conservatism (2019-2020)===
In 2019, at a Turning Point USA conference where he was a speaker, Hunter stated that he believes that Big Tech censorship was not targeting conservatives, which sparked outrage across the right wing and much of his then-fanbase. Sargon Of Akkad was allegedly shocked to the point where he refused to give his speech. Hunter acknowledged that conservatives might get banned disproportionally, but claimed it was due to their violation of TOS rather than their conservative beliefs. He also said conservatives should "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" and claimed that they were "playing the victim." Hunter points to the fact that while conservatives are banned, their posts and videos tend to do far better than left-wing content on social media. Hunter would double and triple down on his belief that conservative censorship by Big Tech was being misrepresented, which partially devolved into criticism and mockery of many popular right wing channels. This generated another firestorm of controversy among the right wing and his fans. Hunter stood by his beliefs despite the backlash, and cited an alleged Twitter admission of them favoring right-wing accounts such as Fox News and The Daily Caller. 
Andrew Anglin, the lead editor and owner of The Daily Stormer, wrote an article criticizing Hunter's speech in which he said that censorship on the basis of conservative beliefs is rare. Hunter then called him a "closeted meth addicted fairy" in his response video. Nick Fuentes, the host of America First, responded to him on a live-stream, citing that Hunter's channel had been temporarily deleted years before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPusrHuk8sk Hunter repeatedly called Lauren Chen a 'Fascist Barbie Doll', due to her traditionalist views. Lauren, who was friends with Hunter and his wife, said that she felt betrayed, after she attempted to recommend him a job at BlazeTV at his request. Lauren also accused him of picking fights with right-wingers for attention. 
On October 14th, 2020, Hunter declared he was voting for Joe Biden as president in the 2020 election. Following claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, which Biden won, Hunter made several videos debunking them. 
On April 12th, 2020, Hunter posted a video called "Why I left the Right" in which he clarified his more recent political positions and why he had changed. He stated that he now identified as a centrist, despite hating the term. The response to the video was mixed. Those in his historically conservative audience unsubscribed from his channel. Many conservative channels also made videos discussing his new political views. 
This decline continued into 2021 and 2022. Throughout November and December 2019, he claimed that all paleoconservatives were neo-nazis, and compared the ideology to Autism, which provoked controversy. 
====Feud with Nick Fuentes====
In 2019, Nick left a comment on Hunter's Instagram account, making fun of his statement about LGBT rights being a conservative value. Hunter then implied that Nick was an antisemite in a video titled "'Conservatives' Call Me Out!". Nick made a response to Hunter's video on a live stream later that month. Multiple debates were set up between the two; Hunter kept backing out, but stated in a 2021 interview with Michael Alberto that he did not want to expose his audience to Nick, due to Nick's reactionary positions. Hunter also attempted to get Blaire White and other unnamed anti-SJW YouTubers to team up and dogpile Nick, according to screenshots he presented in his "Exposing Blaire White" video. 
Hunter continues to call Nick a neo-nazi whenever he is discussed among left-wing communities. He also claimed that Nick was obsessed with him and "couldn't stop talking about him", providing multiple instances where Fuentes complained about Hunter, his wife, and his mini-van. Ironically, Hunter made multiple videos about Nick in 2021 and 2022. 
After Hunter reacted to an iceberg video about Nick and called him a neo-nazi multiple times, Nick called him lazy, irrelevant, and a grifter on a Cozy.tv stream. 
Finally on July 9th, 2022, Hunter and Nick confronted each other on a Modern Day Debate panel about the "war on men." Hunter and Nick insulted each other repeatedly, with Hunter mocking Nick for having "cat boy porn" and arguing that Nick's existence justified abortion. Nick called Hunter's wife ugly and further mocked the fact he drove a mini-van. 
====Feud with TheQuartering====
In April of 2020, he had a brief feud with Jeremy aka TheQuartering after he called Hunter an SJW on twitter following his departure from the right. Jeremy took great exception to what he thought was Hunter lumping right wingers with neo-nazis and other far-right elements. Hunter went on to explain he never called TheQuarting a neo-nazi and explained that Jeremey's defense of Hunter when he was banned did not shield him from valid criticism. Hunter would denounce TheQuartering tweet as an ill-researched lie. He said that he was a 'centrist', not an SJW. He also maintained that he was a 'free thinker', unshackled to partisan talking points on either side. He also accused Jeremy of being 'the thought police', acting exactly like an SJW, and slandering Hunter as a whole with out of context clips and the like. For his part, Jeremy would denounce Hunter as a grifter who never actually cared about right wing politics in the first place while maintaining the veracity of his evidence that Hunter was in fact an SJW. 
====Feud with Blaire White====
At the beginning of January 2023, Blaire White responded to criticism she'd received from her Joe Rogan appearance. In this response, Blaire included one of Avallone's criticisms before divulging into a twisted recollection of meeting Avallone at an event and witnessing him being transphobic to another speaker. Avallone fired back at this, explaining which details Blaire got wrong and why her attempt to smear him backfired.
====Feud with Matt Walsh====
In early March 2023, Daily Wire co-host Matt Walsh called Avallone out on Twitter. The feud began after Hunter claimed children could consent to puberty blockers so long as they have parental consent, doctor's consent, therapist's consent, and exhibit gender dysphoria for a minimum of 6 months. Walsh responded by stating that puberty blockers are "chemical castration". Avallone and Walsh went back and forth, with Walsh attempting to label Avallone as a hypocrite and Avallone defending his stance as well as calling Walsh "ape-brain" and a "retard." Finally, the feud ended when Matt asked for evidence and Avallone provided two separate studies seemingly confirming that puberty blockers are beneficial for mental health. Matt Walsh never responded. 
===Centre-left Views (2021-present)===
Following the Capitol Hill Riots on January 6th, 2021, Hunter condemned the riots, further criticized Trump and defended his ban on Twitter. He sarcastically mocked the murder of 77-year-old police officer David Dorn, claiming that he was too high on fentanyl to defend a pawn shop. Although many were offended by these comments, Hunter was attempting to draw a parallel between conservative excuses when black people are victimized by police - notably, the fact they invoke past crimes and drug use. YouTuber Actual Justice Warrior criticized him for this. He also made an Instagram video in April of that year, exposing how the conservative excuses made to justify black people being unjustly killed by cops could also be applied to the crucifixion of Jesus. This received heavy backlash from Christians.
In late 2021, a feud began between Avallone and Twitch streamer, BXBulletTV, after she made a video about Hunter. Hunter has since debunked her video, and called it 'poorly made'. Hunter nick named BXBullet as BXBitchFace and BXBackTrack. They still feud to this day.
He also debated YouTuber Gothix. Afterwards, Gothix claimed she would no longer do debates.
On May 27th, 2021, Hunter discussed politics with YouTuber Eristocracy, where he stated he was a Social Democrat.
===Departure===
On February 3, 2022, Hunter announced that he'd be indefinitely stepping away from social media. In this message he cited declining mental health and severe depression. He stated that his hiatus would end either a week or a year later, depending on his mood. He would however return to Twitter on February 11, 2022, and the following day announced that he'd purged his 'conservative' content by putting it in an unlisted playlist. Xanderhal congratulated him for sacrificing a huge chunk of algorithmic amplification. After deleting the videos, Hunter lost over 100 million lifetime views, which went down to 16 million. 
===Return===
On March 9, 2022, Hunter returned to making YouTube videos. He has since dedicated himself to streaming, despite his massive channel decline. He also found success on TikTok, garnering well over 100,000 followers and millions of views. His account was later banned for "violent extremism", a justification Hunter laughed at. Hunter has since created a new account where his videos have received millions of views and millions of likes. One video went viral, receiving over 6 millions views and 1.4 million likes in less than 24 hours. 
==Debates with notable figures==
Besides debates with Nick Fuentes and Gothix, Hunter Avallone has debated multiple notable figures. 
===Former Fox News contributor and BlazeTV host Jon Miller===
On April 8th 2022, Hunter debated Jon Miller. Jon is a former Fox News contributor and BlazeTV host. They debated diversity and the military after Hunter claimed diversity strengthens the military. Jon called Hunter "retarded" on Instagram which subsequentially led to a heated debate. 
===Karlyn Borysenko===
Karlyn Borysenko rose to popularity because of her feature in a PragerU video. Hunter and Karlyn originally started off on good terms, but the bridge was later burned after Hunter confronted Karlyn on her take that "Hitler went to heaven" and "people who died in the holocaust chose to die in the spirit realm." Months later, after Hunter debated Karlyn's friend, she showed up on Hunter's stream unannounced. The debate lasted less than 40 minutes as Karlyn refused to engage in good faith and Hunter called her "retarded." 
=== Debate with Young Don the Reborn (formerly Young Don the Sauce God) ===
Hunter debated Don on religion, the creation story, and LGBT validity on July 25th 2022. The debate went for over 3 hours. Multiple clips of the debate went viral on TikTok. 
=== Keffals drama and debate ===
Keffals is a transgender Twitch streamer. On July 20th, Hunter confronted Keffals on her stream, originally to apologize. Earlier, Hunter made an error in which he showed a KiwiFarms thread on his stream which included Keffals' alleged dox and her deadname. Hunter deleted the VOD and apologized publicly for what he called "one of the biggest fuck ups" of his career. Keffals tweeted about Hunter repeatedly until she agreed to talk with him during her livestream on Twitch. Hunter attempted to apologize and donated all SuperChat donations made during the apology stream to the Trevor Project. Keffals refused to accept Hunter's apology, accused him of gaslighting, and labeled him as "not sorry" due to Hunter's previous criticisms of Keffals. The apology soon devolved into an argument before Keffals hung up and wrongly labeled Hunter "alt-right." Hunter still acknowledges the mistake but consistently attacks Keffals for her political views. 
As of February 2023, Hunter and Keffals finally spoke face to face and squashed their beef. Despite still disagreeing with each other on multiple issues, they both agreed it's more productive to set aside their disagreements. 
===Debate with Sneako===
On November 6, 2022, Avallone debated popular red-pill content creator, Sneako. They primarily debated toxic masculinity. Hunter cited multiple studies suggesting that enforcing adherence to strict "traditional gender roles" can contribute to higher likelihood of suicide among men. Sneako continuously referenced the fact that Hunter takes anti-depressants to try and suggest that Hunter shouldn't be giving "happiness advice." Hunter claimed he was not giving "happiness advice" and accused Sneako of "virtue signaling" about masculinity while leading men down a path that's ultimately detrimental to their well-being. The debate received mixed reviews, with most suggesting Hunter won, while Sneako fans called Hunter a "soy-boy." Several clips went viral across multiple platforms. A Sneako fan account received over 1.2M views and 80K likes on a clip of the debate. Hunter's TikTok clip received over 2M views and 380K likes in less than 24 hours. 
===Debate with John Doyle===
On May 11, 2022, John Doyle attempted to ambush Hunter during his livestream. Although Hunter was caught off guard, many agreed John didn't perform well, and Hunter was better prepared. They debated diversity in the military. On November 14, 2022, Hunter debated John again on traditional gender roles. This time live and in person at the University of Tennessee. Similarly, this debate received mixed reviews. Some didn't think Hunter did well due to the fact it was his first time debating in real life in front of a live audience while others said Hunter did well. Most of John's fans claimed Hunter got destroyed and most of Hunter's fans claimed John got destroyed. Hunter said he could've done better but overall was pleased with his performance and thought it was a great experience. A clip of John and Hunter debating whether or not women were irrational and more emotional went viral on TikTok, receiving over 15m views and 2.1M likes. Later, Avallone was banned from TikTok. 
===Bryson Gray===
On January 4, 2023 Hunter debated conservative rapper, Bryson Gray. The debate focused on Hunter challenging Bryson on his recent T-shirt reading, "Make America Straight Again". For obvious reasons the debate soon turned hostile. Avallone told Gray his "values are worthless" after Gray argued for the outlawing of gay couples adopting children.
===Former Fox host Jedidiah Bila===
Jedidiah Bila is known for her frequent appearances on both Fox News and The View. She's now doing her own podcast hosted on YouTube. After Jedidiah Bila responded to Avallone's anti-redpill content, he was invited to appear on the podcast live and in person. The conversation remained good faith; however, Bila and Avallone clashed on a number of issues from female body count, religion, and toxic masculinity. Although his main TikTok had been terminated, a clip of Avallone arguing with Bila about whether or not being gay was a lifestyle went viral on Avallone's atheist page, accumulating over 4M views in less than a week. 
==Accusations of defending pedophilia==
Throughout August 2022, Hunter argued that society should destigmatise pedophilia. Hunter argued that pedophiles who haven't yet harmed children (non-offending pedophiles) are less likely to seek therapy due to the intense stigma surrounding the condition. He cited several studies and academic opinions to support this claim. Hunter said that if someone is a pedophile, the response should be "that's disgusting, you need to seek help", rather than "you're disgusting and deserve to die." Hunter agrees stigma needs to exist around the condition; however, people are wrong to assume "pedophile" and "child molester" are synonyms. He argued that if people truly cared about preventing child abuse, they'd agree the stigma needs to be reduced enough so to allow these people with dangerous attractions who haven't yet abused a child to seek help. Finally, he claimed that when non-offending pedophiles are isolated, they're more likely to abuse a child. He also claimed that a non-offending pedophile (also known as a MAP) are less dangerous near children than unvaccinated people.
His comments received massive scrutiny and led to accusations of him defending pedophiles, though he disputes this.
===Feud with Shoe0nHead===
As Hunter was being attacked for his take, Shoe0nHead criticized Hunter's comments, calling it a push to "de-stigmatize child rape." Hunter strongly denied this, claiming he only wanted to reduce stigma around non-offending pedophiles, saying "I don't support the death penalty but if you rape a child, I might change my mind on that." Hunter went onto call Shoe0nHead a "bad faith bimbo" and a "sub-human piece of trash." He also nick named her "Shoe-Gives-Head." After exposing her lies regarding his opinion, he claimed to "burn the bridge" and blocked her on Twitter. 
===Victim blaming Tweet===
Hunter faced additional criticism for allegedly "victim blaming" on Twitter. During the controversy, a Twitter user claimed she was sexually abused at the age of 8 and that she disagreed with Hunter's opinion. Hunter accused the alleged victim of "virtue-signaling" and "contributing to more child rape." Hunter claimed in his response video, that someone being abused is terrible but does not automatically make them an expert on the subject of how to best prevent future child abuse. Hunter continued to defend his Tweet during a debate with another Twitter user who accused Hunter of mocking a victim.
== Anti-Christian videos ==
Hunter was raised Christian with religion being a heavy component to his upbringing. Although Hunter announced his departure from Christianity in 2017, it wasn't until 2022 when Hunter began heavily criticizing religion, spirituality, and most commonly, Christianity. Hunter partially credited atheist talk show host, Matt Dillahunty for his solidified stance against Christianity. Hunter commonly cites God's supposed condonement of slavery and other actions committed by God or commanded by God throughout the bible to justify his belief that "The Christian God is immoral." Throughout early 2022, Hunter engaged in several debates with laymen Christians as well as more experienced Christian debaters such as Zen Shapiro.
On August 1st 2022, Hunter published a video titled "Why I left Christianity." Hunter explained his personal experience growing up Christian and how it negatively affected him, followed by criticizing the theology of Christianity. Hunter commonly takes issue with God supposedly being perfectly just but only judging people based on belief. Hunter claims that "God has failed to provide adequate evidence of his existence, yet requires you believe in him in order to obtain eternal life. God requires unjustified belief in order to go to heaven. Not only is that illogical but judging someone based purely on belief is NOT just." 
Hunter has battled several individual Christians as well as crashed various Christian panels to challenge believers. In a particularly hostile debate, Hunter struggled to debate a German Christian woman on God's un-just behavior involving the slaughter of the first-born sons in Egypt. The debate ended with Hunter claiming, "you are broken, your brain is broken, and apparently God when he killed all the first children also killed your brain!" 
Other Christian debates have been productive with Hunter offering valid feedback and challenging good faith Christians to re-think their beliefs.
His anti-Christian commentary receive criticism, with some comparing it to r/atheism posts. He embraced the stereotype and began wearing a fedora (which is popular in online atheist forums) in some videos.
In 2023 he tweeted why he had some positive thoughts about Christianity.https://twitter.com/HunterAA6/status/1673752926265679885
== CNET Feature ==
On June 22 2022 CNET published an article titled 'Meet the YouTube Streamers Who Deradicalize While They Debate.' The article primarily focused on Hunter and his success with debating anti-vaxxers. The article explains how Hunter debated an anti-vaxxer in 2021 who believed the vaccine was "the mark of the beast." After the debate, the anti-vaxxer changed his mind and got vaccinated thanks to Hunter's convincing arguments. 
For more than a half-hour, the two argued back and forth in a debate that was as biblical as it was scientific. Avallone threw out facts and dissected the meaning of biblical passages Argenti presented him with. The debate ended amicably, and a week later, Argenti got vaccinated. 
Avallone said he receives messages from people who say his debates and videos changed their minds about conspiracy theories or pulled them away from far-right conservatism. He said it's encouraging and satisfying to change people's minds. 
"I take very seriously realizing that I've turned one more person away from conspiracism or bigoted beliefs or hyper-religious beliefs that are leading to harm," he said.
The entire article can be read here.
== Social issues ==
Hunter is progressive on many social issues such as gay marriage, systemic racism and vaccines. 
Hunter has stated he has always supported gay marriage despite his earlier anti-LGBT videos and his early opposition to trans rights. Between 2015 and 2018, he attended several Pride parades and marches where he attempted to make fun of them and troll them. Beginning in 2019, his political views on LGBT issues shifted and he openly criticized conservatives who were against gay marriage, calling them authoritarian. He stated that as a conservative, he saw no reason why the government should interfere with the rights of gay people, which resulted in conflict among other conservative YouTubers. He also began defending transgender rights around this time as his political views changed. 
Hunter originally considered himself pro-life, which clashed with many of his other center-left positions. In 2020, Hunter stated that he was still personally opposed to abortion, but he thought it should remain legal as he is against government opposition, citing illegal and unsafe abortions taking place. In 2024, Hunter shifted to a pro-choice viewpoint, expressing that based on research and the points at which most abortions occur, those getting abortions would not be terminating a life as there is no sentience. 
Hunter has claimed to be consistently supportive of gun-rights. His opinion on this has not changed much and he continues to maintain that Americans should be allowed to purchase guns. He has expressed support for universal background checks and having a gun license to have a gun. 
Hunter's opinions on Donald Trump have shifted greatly between 2016 and 2020. In 2016, he posted several videos in support of Donald Trump in the upcoming 2016 election. Following his surprising election victory, Hunter continued to make pro-Trump videos. He largely remained supportive of Trump until 2020, when he began to question his support for him. On July 29th, 2020, Hunter stated in an interview with The Serf Times that he was not sure who he would be voting for, but it would probably not be Trump. Throughout the summer he released several videos critical of Trump, where he focused on his anti-free speech rhetoric and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. On October 14th, 2020, he announced his reluctant support for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election, claiming that Joe "was the lesser evil". 
Following Biden's victory in the election, he made several videos debunking Trump's election fraud claims and was very critical of his role in the January 6th Riot on the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. Hunter supported his ban on Twitter and numerous other social media companies, stating that they had a right to do so. 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hunter was supportive of social distancing and mask wearing. In early March 2020, he released a video called "I have coronavirus" where he provided an update on the developing outbreak in the US. Hunter didn't actually have coronavirus and the title was clickbait. Throughout the remainder of 2020 and in 2021, he released videos critical of anti-mask and anti-lockdown activists, debunking false claims about the virus. He also released a video debunking false claims about the vaccines developed against COVID-19 and encouraged his viewers to get the shot. He then later called people who refused to get the Covid-19 vaccine 'braindead', as well as debating several anti-vaxxers. 
== Religious views ==
Hunter Avallone once called himself a Christian but has since identified as agnostic. He has argued repeatedly against Christianity, citing the fact that Christians oppose Homosexuality, one of multiple sexual activities considered abominable in Leviticus 18. Hunter has also argued against God's morality, citing bible verses which he believes depict God acting maliciously and immoral. 
==Personal life==
Avallone was married to Carissa Keely from 2020 to 2023. He proposed to her in May 2019 and got they married on January 2nd of 2020. The couple have two children. Hunter announced in June 2023 that he and Carissa agreed to have a divorce. 
In June 2023, Houston based photographer Kingston Hawke, made a video alleging Carissa had cheated on Hunter. He also leaked nude photos Carissa sent to him, as well as comments he interpreted as flirting. What was meant to be anonymous was then leaked, leading to massive rumors that Hunter got cucked. This was primarily because the leaked Discord DMs showed Carissa expressing interest in other sexual endeavors, most notably a gangbang porn video with five Black men, as well as mocking Hunter's sexual performances. 
Hunter disputed this, claiming that these leaked messages were dated past the point of the divorce and nobody had been cheated on. Still, people continue to allege "Hunter's wife left him for a gangbang" despite screenshots showing the couple discussing divorce late last year. Hunter also reported Hawke to the authorities for his involvement in distributing revenge porn. 
He later deleted his tweets and videos disputing the situation. 
On December 8, 2023, Hunter's girlfriend was shot in the leg by her ex-boyfriend while attempting to enter Hunter's apartment in Martinsburg, West Virginia. When police encountered with the suspect, he engaged in a shootout with officers before turning the gun on himself. Hunter posted video of the events to his social media pages of her ex-boyfriend attempting to enter his apartment and the ensuing shootout. His girlfriend was treated at the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Hunter has said the event had left both him and his girlfriend with mental damage.
