## Controversies

* Lance was called out by feminists for platforming Jean-Francois Gariépy (JF or JFG) due to his history of using YouTube to predate on disabled teenagers.
* Lance faced off Lauren Southern and Conterpoints with Twin Rabbit as a debate partner and Dylan Burns as the moderator. The debate received widespread condemnations from antifascists and video essayists. Lance and Lauren Southern both confirmed Dylan Burns was the one who arranged the debate.
* Lance has received a lot of criticism due to his support of YouTube creator and fellow Leftist Mafia member, Illuminaughtii. Lance has refused to give additional information despite his current insider knowledge.
