==Politics==
DarkMatter2525 has opposed the Tea Party,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoSxYkH0F_A supported gay marriage,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWPR5Ll3MpU supported abortion, and opposed the border wall.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fgN9wFNOV_g
DarkMatter2525 has criticized feminism, saying that feminists, because they reacted angrily to Richard Dawkins's tastelessly liking a tweet that compared feminism to radical Islam, proved Dawkins's point,https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/696842082175029248 even though those two ideologies clash with each other; feminists in Saudi Arabia have been actually persecuted, such as Loujain al-Hathloul's peaceful protests resulting in harsh punishments.Human Rights Watch. (February 10, 2021) "Saudi Arabia: Prominent Women’s Rights Activist Released". Accessed May 11, 2021. He also believes that activism is being perverted by SJWs, though he admits that the term has been overused.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RM2SuMyYDU
He's also criticized people who don't criticize Islam for being violent, writing, "Why do you believe a white guy who says he kills because of racist beliefs, but not a Muslim who says he kills because of religious beliefs?"https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/666286788248526848 and "Violence has nothing to do with religion? Okay. When was the last time you complained about Buddhaphobia?"https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/666088036791394304 
DarkMatter2525 used not as bad as arguments to state that the world is getting better, not worse, that activism is counterproductive because it consists only of complaining, and people don't know how good they have it, relying heavily on first world problems to make his point.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u04yPWweZO4 (This argument of calling people who want minor improvements "spoiled" is an argument shared by conservatives and indifferent centrists.)
Once Trump was elected, DarkMatter2525 admitted that many YouTubers who made atheism videos had badly succumbed to group-think and been too critical of trivialities done by "the SJWs." He started to call out the threat of disingenuous fascist propagandists like Andy Ngo who would play up left-wing violence and the threat of "Antifa" while hypocritically ignoring the much greater mass murdering coming from the right.https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/1145387406792769538
In 2016, he deleted his polarizing cartoon "If God became an SJW," after a month because he felt he had piled too much unfair criticism on the "SJWs", and later explained that he noticed fascists and highly reactionary conservatives were getting louder on the right and didn't want to add to the fire when they were not being adequately criticized, ridiculed, or reined in by other conservatives.https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/1363298089893826565 In 2020 he made more videos that were political rather than religious, ranging from ridiculing Trump's cult of personality,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgnPsCe106o Christian-nationalism,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtkeTtgbqW4 conservative fear-mongering,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz4Sj_10rC4 the disastrous COVID response by conservatives,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGeSKrKlZJA and the hypocrisy of conservative pundits from Prager University.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ovUbSZcXQ
==Final animation==
On November 18, 2019, DarkMatter2525 announced that his final animationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAQ1GJeYK0A would go live on November 19, 2019 due to the FTC's new enforcement of "child friendly" videos.https://twitter.com/DarkMatter2525/status/1196599225657761794
While it is not known if what he said is true, it is possible to believe due to the nature of the enforcement.
UPDATE: Never mind; his videos are still up.https://www.youtube.com/user/DarkMatter2525/
