Quote: "In Jean-François Gariépy's (JF) Guns, Germs, and Steel stream he confirms a series of scientific 'truths', each falsely [presented as having been] debunked for being too controversial. They include IQ as the most predictive measure of human potential, Samuel Morton's skull size research, and Herrnstein and Murray's previously mentioned Bell Curve research." ethnostates, and other reactionary views. From 2012 to 2015, he was a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience at Duke University,Jean-Francois Gariépy ResearchGate. but was allegedly fired due to sexual misbehavior.https://www.thedailybeast.com/alt-right-youtuber-accused-of-luring-autistic-teen-in-pregnancy-plot He claims that he left on his own accord.http://archive.li/pXnecColleen Flaherty (September 8, 2015). "Public Good-byes". Inside Higher Ed.
Gariépy rose to prominence as a paid co-host of Andy Warski's YouTube show. After getting into a spat with Andy over antisemitic comments made by a guest, Gariépy lefthttps://youtu.be/aP9AuXFT_RM the Warski show, and started running his own show called "The Public Space", where he frequently invites guests associated with white supremacy, such as David Duke and Richard Spencer.
==Jeffrey Epstein==
Gariépy's early YouTube presentations were neuroscience lectures, and in 2014 he received $25,000 funding from Jeffrey Epstein for them.(August 27, 2019). "Dirty Money". GenomeWeb."NeuroTV, A New Channel on the Brain, Sends Waves Across the Internet." Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. He was at the time aware about Epstein's conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor (which was decided in 2008). However, Gariépy defended himself by stating he would "cash a check sent straight from the devil" if it allowed him "to advance science or science education".Peter Aldhous (August 26, 2019). "Jeffrey Epstein’s Links To Scientists Are Even More Extensive Than We Thought". BuzzFeed News. He also commented: "As a Jewish millionaire, I think he didn't expect my channel to turn the way it did."Jared Holt (December 14, 2018). "White Nationalist YouTuber Says Jeffrey Epstein Once Gave Him $25,000". Right Wing Watch. After Epstein's death was disclosed in mid-2019, Gariépy released a stream titled "He Was a Great Philanthropist Though": in which, he asked Epstein's lawyers to send him Bitcoin, stated he was "50-50" on whether to believe Epstein truly killed himself, and discussed the logistics of hiding a dead body. He added he found many of Epstein's actions "immoral".Jean-François Gariépy (2019). "He Was A Great Philanthropist Though TPS #493". Internet Archive. (IMDb entry).
==Ethnostate support==
Gariépy has explained several aspects of his ethnostate beliefs. For example, he sees ethnostates as realistic:
He thinks that an ethnostate is most likely in the West:
And he thinks that ethnostates should both provide equal rights to all ethnicities while restricting immigration by ethnicity:
Gariépy claims that he does not advocate for establishing an ethnostate by force and claims it is a strawman to claim that he advocates for force. (Ironically, Gariépy has strawmanned his opposition as believing that multicultural states should be imposed "by force", rather than believing that migration and multiculturalism are natural events that do not require force.) However, Gariépy has appeared on The Right Stuff podcast The Daily Shoah,Between Two Evergreens: Mike and JF a platform that wholeheartedly endorses genocide of nonwhites, and has shared an article from The Daily Stormer. Even though Gariépy may not believe in establishing an ethnostate through force, he is willing to work with with those who do.
==Jew-baiting Destiny==
After streamer Destiny accused Gariépy of statutory rape (see below), Gariépy claimed that Destiny was Jewish and was orchestrating an ongoing brigade of his Discord server:
Later, when asked about whether Destiny should be able to comment on the "sexual assault" allegations, Gariépy stated:
On a livestream with YouTuber Bunty King, Gariépy again stated that Destiny was Jewish:
However, Destiny's Twitter description is obviously sarcastic:
In a Twitter thread after the stream, Gariépy doubled down:
The most reasonable conclusions from this saga are either that Gariépy is really, really, really bad at analyzing sources for their intent, or that Gariépy is willing to project "Jewishness" onto his enemies.
==Sexual history==
==="Mentally retarded" "fiancée"===
On a 27 October 2017 Drunken Peasants livestream, Gariépy discussed his relationship with an autistic Drunken Peasants fan-girl who had an intellectual disability. Gariépy stated that "unfortunately, the state of Texas has ruled that she could not decide to be with me".Transcript of :
 On an 18 December 2017 Andy Warski livestream, Gariépy further described the girl as being 19 years old, as his fiancée, and as being autistic and being "mentally retarded". Gariépy also asserted that the girl's father kidnapped her in order to prevent her from living with him and was intimidated by the court system.Transcript of :
Since he claimed the incident happened around 2015, that means he would have been dating a disabled 19-year-old when he was about 31 years old. His claims about sex with autistic women are especially concerning when you consider that autistic women are about 3 times as likely as non-autistic women to experience sexual abuse.Girls with autism at high risk of sexual abuse, large study says
On 28 December 2017, Steven "Destiny" Bonnell read aloud the entirety of a court document from Gariépy's 29 August 2016 petition for writ of to the Texas Ninth Court of Appeals. Afterwards, he reached substantially different conclusions from Gariépy. Destiny asserted:nier Very Hard, .
===Rules about pornography===
On his Discord server, Gariépy allows straight porn but disallows gay porn and porn that females enjoy (except from "confirmed women"):
We at RationalWiki find it wonderfully odd that Gariépy allows porn (which everybody knows is produced by degenerate Jews to produce emasculated males) in his Discord ethno-state.
===Sexual assault allegations===
Gariépy has admitted that seven women are accusing him of sexual assault in court.https://youtu.be/L8dsxRJp14w?list=PLStm4vMay33mBTOa6VRGnJcIGyHpMSeUC&t=20
==Strawman understander==
Gariépy believes that strawmanning is literally censorship:
While strawmanning can certainly have the same effect as censorship (if a person hears the strawmanner's misrepresentation but has not heard the strawmannee's original opinion and chooses not to find the original opinion, then the strawmannee's position has not been heard at all), it does not use the same methods as censorship does. Strawmanning neither removes the strawmannee's opinions nor prevents one from seeking out and identifying the strawmannee's opinions. In short: If someone's been strawmanned, you can still read their book; if someone's been censored, there's no book left to read.
==Missing girlfriend==
Gariépy's girlfriend Élora Patoine (known on his streams as "Mama JF") went missing in June 2023 after Gariépy dropped her off at a gas station.Kevin Yarr (October 6, 2023). "Missing P.E.I. woman Élora Patoine last seen in Moncton, police say". CBC News. Days after her disappearance, Gariépy said he was "now in charge of keeping the home clean" so took three days to renovate and "sterilize this home" after she left.(June 20, 2023). "'False Declarations of Love' | JFGT #876". Odysee. In response to a media inquiry about the case months later, Gariépy called her "a free woman who has decided to travel". According to him:
As of October 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were still investigating her disappearance.(October 6, 2023). "Update - Missing person: Élora Patoine". Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Concerning the situation, Gariépy claimed it wouldn't have happened if men "owned" and "controlled" their wives:
Such a comment is not highly out of character since he has previously streamed alongside Roosh V. Additionally, on his October 24, 2023 livestream Gariépy stated that he did not commit murder but that if he was imprisoned for murder it wouldn't be that bad since he estimated he would only ultimately be in prison for about two years under such a scenario.Jean-François Gariépy (October 24, 2023). "Gad's Disbelief | JFGT #975". Odysee.
===Unrelated trivia===
Around this time, a clip resurfaced from 2019, which was uploaded back then to mock Mama JF; the video shows her interrupting Gariépy's stream with another online personality while crying and saying "you tried to kill me". Gariépy reacted by stating she was confused.(February 19, 2019). "Mama JF goes full retard on live stream". YouTube.
In February 2024, Gariépy responded to an interview between Taylor Lorenz and Libs of TikTok, stating: "But if I was an anonymous person, and you were to be a journalist of The New York Times that doxes me, there is no circumstance under which I would make an interview with you. There is only in fact one circumstance which I may be interested, which is, if I have the impression that we will get a moment alone where I have the occasion to chop your head, wrap your body in plastic, and bury you in a place where I can never be held accountable for the murder."(February 25, 2024). "Controlled Opposition | JFGT #1067". Odysee. In August 2024, Gariépy positively reviewed the game Crime Scene Cleaner, commenting it was a "stunningly realistic game experience."Jean-François Gariépy (August 17, 2024). "A stunningly realistic game experience. 👌 5/5". Twitter.
