{{cquote|(inane shrill voice, speaking in full-auto and wild flailing for 10-30 something minutes) GOD FUCKING SPEED|||Every "Razörfist" video ever.}}

'''Daniel Paul Harris''' {{lived|May 31, 1985}}, also known by his [[TV Tropes|Awesome McCoolname]] [[pseudonym]]s [[Internet tough guy|'''Razörfist''' and '''The Rageaholic''']], is a [[crank|"multi-talented"]] [[Fun:Arizona|Arizonian]] [[far-right]] [[pundit]] and content creator, known primarily as a [[Youtube]]r, [[Twitter|"The site formerly known as Twitter"]]-addict, [[gun nut]] [[mall ninja]], {{wpl|Tommy Wiseau}} cosplayer, [[The Fandom Menace|media critic]], [[plagiarism|inventive]] [[author|pulp author]], [[Pseudohistory|getting F on history]] and likely a [[Pedophile|ephebophile]].

Coming from a wide background of miscellaneous hobbies, he started to make his presence known as a [[plagiarism|clone]] of a noted {{wpl|Channel Awesome}}-era content creator; Noah Antwiler alias The Spoony One. His early 2010s reviews were mostly focused on [[music]], movies ([[Ronald Reagan|Reaganite]] [[jingoism|cult-classic]] [[machismo|action films]]) and [[video game]] reviews in which he could barely hide his contempt at everything [[good old days|modern]], {{wpl|Hideo Kojima}} and the things that [[Gamergate]] would later latch on to. 

Although he never made it to the big leagues as a geek media reviewer, especially after it was found out that Harris didn't play the games he reviewed, the year 2016 would pave the way for his true calling. With the ascension of one [[sarcasm|God Emperor]] [[Trump]] and the cultural infestation of the [[alt-right]], Harris could freely air out his [[far-right]] leanings and start singing his praises of Cheeto Benito while preaching oblivion to the Orange One's enemies.

From 2017 onwards, he started to gather more followers with his political [[bullshit]], rising to new heights. And much like everybody [[Eponymous_laws#The_Peter_Principle|rising to their level of incompetence]], the more Harris' [[Overconfidence effect|ego inflated]], the more his [[ultracrepidarianism]] (and by extension [[Dunning–Kruger effect]]) started to surface. [[Crank magnetism]] ensued, declaring himself the '''[[Prophet|Oracle of Arizona]]''', Harris then began to push pro-[[Confederate States of America|confederate]]/anti-[[Lincoln]] views on the [[American Civil War]] and such and other.

As of October 2024, he has 383K subscribers on YouTube. As his profile as a content creator has progressed, Harris has gradually found more and more like-minded [[wingnuts]] to collab with, including [[Styxhexenhammer666]]<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/847101060900540417</ref>, [[Sargon of Akkad]]<ref>https://archive.org/details/youtube-lw-zuBA6g2Y</ref> and [[Sebastian Gorka]]. He also bears the dubious honor (along with [[Michael Coombs]]) of being one of the rare [[Kiwifarms]] “[[lolcow]]s” that are politically right-wing.<ref group=note>Under assumption the site consists mostly of [[South Park Republicans]] and/or [[alt-right]] ass-clowns whose victims are mainly [[LGBTQ]] individuals.</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Due to protecting his proverbial [[Delusions of grandeur|character mysticism]] from [[reality|the truth]], Harris is very secretive about his pre-Rageaholic/Razörfist life. Regardless, select elements have come to light over the years.

Daniel Paul Harris was born on May 31, 1985, in Phoenix, Arizona. His parents are Paul and Barbara Harris, and he has a sister named Kirsten. He was educated at an unspecified high school (where he learnt to speak Japanese), before allegedly completing college-level education at {{wpl|Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication}}, graduating as a journalist with a major in political science.<ref group=note>Allegedly, as in there are people who claim that the class he attended didn't exist when he was studying there.</ref> He has apparently done volunteer work in foreign countries like [[Mexico]] and [[Japan]].

Around 1999-2008, Harris was part of an Arizonian indie black metal band "Mortiferus", under the moniker "Acerbus".<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Acerbus/594498|title= Acerbus|author=<!--Not stated--> |date= 2014|website=Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives |access-date=October 28, 2024}}</ref> In the early 00s, Harris operated a [[DeviantArt]] account titled CaptainSpandex (now defunct). Circa 2004, he tried to mingle with DeviantArt user named Miss Macy (supposedly Japanese) but was shot down by her, as she was already dating another man, funnily enough, named Daniel.

===Rageaholic/Razörfist, the early years===
Harris started his original Youtube channel in 2009, starting his content creation in earnest in 2011. At some point, Harris gained a YouTube partnership. Although he started a pretty swift rise in popularity, the momentum was stalled when, in 2013, somebody in [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] got access to his PSN account statistics, with it being revealed that Harris *barely* played any games he had made reviews of.

Sometime in the early 2010s, he had dated a Canadian girl named Erica Rae Drake, known by her online alias "NocturnalCurves". She left Harris at an unspecified point. Then, circa 2015, he started to date an likely 15-year old Latina girl only known as "Eve" (born April 12, 2000).

===MAGA train===
{{Update section}}
After [[Donald Trump]] won the [[electoral college]] in 2016 to become the President of the United States, Harris had found his [[Saint Ronnie]].

Despite putting more focus on political stuff expanded his following, it caused a rift amongst his older fans, who preferred Harris' review stuff over the political pundit vlogging.

In 2021, Eve and Harris started quarreling, with her taking control of Harris' Twitter account. First using to text that Harris was a disgusting pervert and then later deleting all content on Harris' account.<ref name="EveTweets">[https://archive.ph/gie7K Eve’s tweet, hijacking Harris’ Twitter]</ref> In December 2022, the two broke up, with Eve stating that she had dated a "well-known right leaning asshole[sic] from [when she was] 15-20."<ref name="EveTweets2">[https://ghostarchive.org/archive/Q4zWJ GhostArchive of Eve's age tweet(s)]</ref>

On November 5, 2024, he was guest on [[Right-wing_media_groups#Salem_Radio_Network|Salem Media Group]] coverage of [[2024 U.S. presidential election]] with [[Sebastian Gorka]].<ref>{{a|https://rumble.com/v5lz4gc-from-mcdonalds-to-peanut-the-squirrel-the-2024-election.-raz0rfist-with-seb.html|From McDonald's to Peanut the Squirrel, the 2024 election. Raz0rfist with Sebastian Gorka}} </ref>

While Harris was elated by Trump winning the 2024 elections, there was about to be some heavy rain on his parade. In late January, Harris got involved in the "Goonergate" controversy -- and in doing so, people started bringing up Harris' affair with Eve, which brought this pedophilic relationship to knowledge of wider discourse. At the Side Scrollers Podcast - which Harris had been a frequent quest on - it caused the chat to start harping on the subject. On the January 27, 2025 podcast the host Stuttering Craig had to address the issue after a super-chat asked about Harris' status, with Craig telling that Harris has "stepped away" from the podcast on his own accord to "focus on his own projects".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/8JiccK2RF4s Activision BANNING Based on Race, Real Game Awards Attacked | Side Scrollers](51:00 mark)</ref>

Rest of the 2025 he has spent mainly cheerleading for [[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement|ICE]] and Trump's [[Wag the dog|performative military action]] on [[Iran]]. He has also been very defensive of [[Israel]] and [[Benjamin Netanyahu]], to the point that some have started to use "[[Kosher]]fist" to mock his [[Zionist]] zeal.

His response to US attack on [[Venezuela]] and capture of [[Maduro]] has been essentially to shame "the [[millennials]]" for being "anti-war only for the [[Iraq War]]". He might have recently acquired his third girlfriend, but appears to be quite secretive about it - likely to try avoid a repeat of the Eve controversy.

==Personality and quirks==
[[File:Razorfist TwitterBlock.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Familiar view with Twitter users who are not there to suck him off.]]
Daniel Harris is known to be a massively insecure, two-faced [[narcissist]] with [[delusions of grandeur]] who is constantly projecting his own flaws to others. He is also a star-fucking {{wpl|sycophant}} who, once reaching to/beyond the fame of his celebrity target, will discard them like a used condom. He does not like to be called by his real name, to a point he gets his books and comics published under his "Razörfist" moniker.

As a content creator, his whole shtick relies on [[intellectual dishonesty]] and [[bad faith]] arguments ([[Public relations|optics]], [[quote-mining]], [[Informal fallacy|half-truths]], [[hyperbole]]s and [[deceit|outright lies]]) which are [[Gish Gallop|delivered at breakneck speed]] with histrionic theatrics and a good dose of [[inflammatory language]] to agitate and/or overwhelm [[otherism|the other]]. His own [[stupidity]] (as evidenced by his habitual [[argument from incredulity]]) also factors into his rants. Additionally, due to his proverbial "character gimmick", [[Cognitive dissonance|he will absolutely never admit being wrong]], while celebrating even a quarter-correct guesses as a result of his [[sarcasm|supreme understanding of reality]].

Harris is also a sneaky bastard who tries to delete everything and anything that might dent his imago. He deletes his videos and tweets, as well as closing his older social media accounts, to make sure nobody gets any dirt on him. If caught with the pants down, expect lots of [[snarl word|snarling]] and [[spin|spinning]] around. However, Harris himself has no qualms of gleefully using others' past dirt against them.

===Contrarian hipster===
He has a strong hipster streak and gravitates to niche things 
which nobody cares for so [[Ipse dixit|he can play authority on it]]
 [[Affinity fraud|that he tries to bring to wider audience]]. Because of his niche likes, he tends to be very [[Appeal to the minority|contrarian]] by nature.

===Plagiarism this, plagiarism that===
Harris is prone to accusing everything and anything he doesn't like being [[plagiarism|plagiaristic]]. Maybe the best known case is him lambasting {{wpl|Batman}} for being a "[[hyperbole|rip-off]]" of the 1930's pulp character {{wpl|The Shadow}}.{{efn|This is an [[informal fallacy|half-truth]], as while Batman ''had'' taken a fair share of elements from the Shadow (including Batman's first story being rewrite of one of The Shadow stories), the differences ultimately overweight the influence. Especially since Batman as an IP kept evolving into different direction(s) from its inspiration.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/09/27/was-batman-a-plagiarism/ |title=  Was Batman a Plagiarism? |last= Bailey |first=Jonathan |date= September 27, 2022|website= Plagiarism Today |access-date=October 30, 2024 |quote=Though Batman’s first story was a close copy of The Shadow’s tale, Batman clearly went on to become a very different character and distance himself from The Shadow in many ways. Though the characters still have many similarities, including both being wealthy playboy-type characters that protect a New York City (or a stand in), the two characters have gone in different directions. One key difference of note is that Batman no longer uses firearms or kills criminals, something The Shadow does and early Batman did as well. In the 1970s, DC Comics obtained the rights to The Shadow character (though it’s since been resold) and published several runs of his comics between then and the early 90s. During that time, The Shadow and Batman shared a couple of stories, with Batman acknowledging that The Shadow was his biggest influence. That, in turn, is where we are today. The copycat origins of Batman are largely forgotten and left behind, something that is made as an inside reference when the two share a story with each other.[...] As a result, Batman may have moved well past his copycat roots, but he’ll never be able to completely escape.}}</ref> Additionally, there exists more blatant imitators of The Shadow than early Batman was - such as {{wpl|Spider (pulp fiction character)|The Spider,}} {{wpl|The Phantom Detective||,}} {{wpl|Avenger (pulp-magazine character)|The Avenger,}} {{wpl|Crimson Avenger (Lee Travis)|Crimson Avenger}} (even {{wpl|The Green Hornet}} is considered one, moreso than Batman) - so "being a rip-off of the Shadow" doesn't quite apply to Batman to the degree Harris thinks it does. Ultimately, this factor doesn't make Batman any worse or The Shadow itself any better.}}

===Get out of my mind 
Liquid
 Kojima!!===
Harris has a incomprehensible, [[scapegoat|hate-fueled]] [[Fanaticism|obsession]] with a noted [[video game]] auteur {{wpl|Hideo Kojima}}. How and why is usually one of the topics that are talked about regarding this guy. It is generally believed to be some kind of [[Sin#The_seven_deadly_sins|envy]], as Harris is hell-bent in trying to champion similarly-themed video games such as {{wpl|Thief (series)|Thief}} and {{wpl|Deus Ex}}, both whom Kojima's {{wpl|Metal Gear series}} has quite decisively overshadowed in terms of both visibility and artistic recognition. Another good theory is that Kojima's work tends to focus on the deconstruction of power fantasies and fraudulent identities, two things which Harris is very sensitive about.

He has gone as far as to accuse Kojima's fans of being in a "[[cult]]",<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1170953333915316225</ref> that his games are full of "[[virtue signalling]]" <ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1194058231397568513</ref> and that Kojima is just Peter Molyneux in hipster glasses and a Yoko wig.<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1123087117515575296</ref>

===Shitty behavior on (former) Twitter===
As any egomaniac that's protective of their image and who is on "[[Twitter|the social media site formerly known as twitter]]", Harris is a thin-skinned ninny who blocks anybody who directs even the slightest criticism or [[sarcasm]] towards him.

===Being a terrible friend===
In [[politically correct]] terms, Harris is a fair-weather friend. He has a bad habit of throwing hissy fits and burning bridges with everybody. Despite being timid in real life, Harris has a cowardly manner of shitting on his friends behind their backs.

==Politics==
[[File:Razorfist US Pres Ranked.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Screenshot of Harris' twitter post about his Top 5 best and worst US Presidents. Strangely neither Reagan nor Trump are in his favorites.]]
Harris is a typical [[nostalgia]]-driven [[Libertarian]]-[[Conservative]] with evident [[authoritarian]]/[[fascistic]] leanings, right at home with [[The Fandom Menace]]. He is a sworn anti-[[leftist]], having declared his opposition to [[liberalism]],  [[communism]] and [[woke]]. Like every right-wing grifter, Harris is a fake-[[Christian]], obsessionally spouting distorted religious bullcrap on his twitter feed to bash the "[[atheism]] of the left." 

Harris has personally identified himself as a "[[Goldwater]] [[Republican]]" (see {{wpl|Fusionism}}), which again is a half truth, as while his politics ''are'' a mix of social conservatism and right-libertarianism, Harris clearly holds more [[reactionary]] [[wingnut]] views than Barry Goldwater and other Fusionist Republicans at their worst.<ref>https://twitter.com/bashpr0mpt/status/1178908473980882944</ref> He is also a [[Joseph McCarthy]] apologist.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AhQB6jcsPA The Truth About McCarthyism in Hollywood. THE CLIFTON DUNCAN PODCAST 28: RazorFist.]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/BgUVL5v1aAc Joe McCarthy: Martyred by Marxism by The Rageaholic Jul 7, 2025]</ref> Despite not identifying as a [[Trumpist]], his mancrush on [[Donald Trump|the Orange One]] is quite clear, with him even attacking the other Republican candidates during the [[2024 U.S. presidential election]]s. 

Harris is a [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] apologist and tends to bring up lot of [[Lost Cause of the South|lost causer myths]], including [[Lost_Cause_of_the_South#African-Americans|belittling the effects of the slavery in the South]]. He also really hates [[Abraham Lincoln]]. Other Republicans he really hates are [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and [[John McCain]]<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/980484018251509760</ref>

On the left, he only sees enemies. He claims that [[Bernie Sanders]] is a communist that needs to be dropped out of a helicopter<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO8-cWp4Wc8</ref>

==Content==
Harris' content can be divided into following:
* Politsperging
* Video Games (reviews + RazorFist Arcade)
* Music (Metal Mythos)
* Movies (Rageholic Cinema and Film Noirchives)
* Comic Books/Pulp Fiction
* Miscellaneous ego trips

===As an author===
In 2020, he decided to throw his glove into the pulp novel writing ring and debuted with The Long Moonlight, the #1 volume in the Nightvale series ({{wpl|Welcome to Night Vale|no, not that Nightvale}}), published by [[Vox Day]]'s [[Castalia House]].{{efn|Specifically the Dark Legion imprint, thats part of the trio that involves Arkhaven Comics and Castalia House.<ref>[https://arkhavencomics.com/faqtest/ Arkhavencomics.com - Frequently Asked Questions];<br>'''What is the difference between Arkhaven, Dark Legion, and Castalia House?'''<br>Arkhaven is the publishing imprint for the comics and graphic novels that we create and develop ourselves. Dark Legion is the imprint for the comics and graphic novels that other creators bring to us for publishing. And Castalia House is the imprint for the novels and non-fiction books we publish.</ref>}}<ref>{{cite web |author=Nathan |date=September 18, 2020 |title= Dark Legion Books Preorder: THE LONG MOONLIGHT|url=http://www.castaliahouse.com/dark-legion-books-preorder-the-long-moonlight/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/2ZaPE |website= Castalia House |access-date=January 24, 2025}}</ref> It was quickly pointed out by people that this book was basically glorified {{wpl|Thief (series)|Thief}} fan fiction (which is especially [[hypocritical]], since he's done the same thing he accused {{wpl|Batman}} of doing to {{wpl|The Shadow}}), complete with [[Big words|very flowery writing]]. It is assumed that the Nightvale books are a result of Harris being frustrated that nobody competent would ever arrive to fix the Thief series, and taking it upon his own hands to do so.

He and George Alexopoulos (reactionary Twitter [[Propaganda#Agitprop|agitprop]] comic artist who also notoriously thin-skinned) collaborated together in making "Ghost Of The Badlands" graphic novel. Funded via IndieGoGo, the first issue was released April 2023.<ref name="Bounding2023">{{Cite web |url=https://boundingintocomics.com/comic-books/razorfist-and-george-alexopoulos-comes-out-six-shooters-ablazin-with-hot-new-graphic-novel-ghost-of-the-badlands/ |title= RazörFist And George Alexopoulos Comes Out Six-Shooters Ablazin’ With Hot New Graphic Novel ‘Ghost Of The Badlands’ |author=Jon Del Arroz |date= Apr 25, 2023|website= Bounding Into Comics |access-date= October 30, 2024 |quote=}}</ref>

==Stupid shit Harris has said==
{{hatnote|Harris says lots and lots of stupid shit, so this section is mainly dedicated to the BS that Harris doubles down on.}}
===Michael is innocent!… as well as Bill Cosby?===
Harris is fundamentally adamant that Michael Jackson was completely innocent of all charges of child molestation, claiming the documentary ''Leaving Neverland'' was a total shockumentary that was discredited within weeks<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190811213728/https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1160665989295378432</ref> despite the fact that while the documentary was certainly bruised and battered, there is an ongoing controversy surrounding Michael Jackson's legacy. To take it even further, Harris suggests that sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby are also all totally false,<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1044837612656168960</ref> he asserts that since Michael Jackson was proven not guilty in court he could not be called a child molester yet he claims that, despite Cosby's convection it should also be doubted because the justice system is broken.<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1044813498084192256</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1044829769806827522</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/992098908351311872</ref> If the justice system is so broken to the degree Harris claims, then how could we also legitimately assert Michael Jackson was innocent?

===Nazis are socialists===
Circa 2019, Harris threw his hat at the "[[Hitler and socialism]]" fallacy with a video titled "The Socialism of National Socialism - A Rant".<ref>The Socialism of National Socialism (October 9, 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-SLqdhkvJo</ref>

===Firearms hipsterism and other Mall Ninja antics===
Harris is a gun hipster who trumps the [[Second Amendment]] and gravitates towards 19th century and early 20th century firearms. His favorites appear to be the {{wpl|Colt Single Action Army}} and the {{wpl|Mauser C96}}. Despite them being antiquated designs that do not compare to the facile usability of modern firearms, [[Dunning–Kruger effect|Harris proclaims]] that [[bullshit|they are viable in real-life situations]] and [[delusion|is capable of out-drawing and out-gunning any attacker]]. He's been warned about peddling this bullshit so much that Harris tried to clamp back at them over it.<ref>https://archive.ph/wip/yTsUl</ref>

He has also tried to needle Ian McCallum of Forgotten Weapons fame. McCallum, being a bigger man (and a functional adult in general) paid zero attention to Harris.

===Democrats' electoral fraud===
Harris claimed that there was likely fraud in the 2020 Democratic primaries in favour of [[Joe Biden]] simply because there were so many more people at Bernie Sanders rallies while there were comparatively a lot less at Joe Biden's. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO8-cWp4Wc8</ref> 

Another major talking point of his was that the 2018 Arizona Senate election was stolen. What evidence does he give that it was stolen? [[Argument from incredulity|That there was NO WAY so many people could have voted for a Democratic Senator on the same night that a Republican governor won]]<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1061068023048495104</ref> despite it happening in several other states like Maryland. He has also accused an extremely conservative Democrat of being a literal communist and a "fake moderate" using a poorly edited page from Nate Silver's 538.<ref>https://twitter.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1224926217515626496</ref>

===China funds woke claims===
Around August 2024 onward (if not earlier), Harris has claimed that things like [[Socially responsible investing|ESG]] and [[DEI]] are funded by [[Chinese]] interests to destroy western media.<ref>https://x.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1828683324975730999?mx=2 (Aug 28, 2024)</ref><ref>https://x.com/RAZ0RFIST/status/1866564347964821526 (Dec 10, 2024)</ref> In September 25, 2024, he released a video titled "China: Exporter of ESG", that he tried to private for a moment and claiming that it was "removed by Youtube", only for his fans note that it was only privated.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCQj6KU1H0 China: Exporter of ESG - Razör Rants</ref>

===Civil War Myths and getting dunked by Vlogging Through History===

At some point, Harris began pushing some inane bullshit regarding the [[American Civil War]]. Perhaps most notorious talking point is him proclaiming that [[Abraham Lincoln]] was a [[dictator]], who began the civil war to carry out [[state terrorism]] against [[Confederate States of America|the south]]. Despite vehemently denying that he is a [[Lost Cause of the South|lost causer]] and that he is [[just asking questions]], it is believed that he is parroting points that [[Thomas DiLorenzo]] (a neo-Confederate lost causer) [[Thomas_DiLorenzo#Abraham_Lincoln_and_the_Civil_War|made in his two anti-Lincoln books]].<ref>{{a|https://www.reddit.com/r/USHistory/comments/10f8y3e/youtuber_rageaholic_razorfist_posted_a_video/|Reddit - Youtuber Rageaholic (Razorfist) posted a video about President Lincoln and it might be one of the worst I have ever seen.
}} (January 22. 2025)</ref> On January 14, 2023, Harris published his 1h7m video titled "Abraham Lincoln: American Dictator". As of October 2024, that video has 654k views.

Then, in January 19, 2023, Chris Mowery of the Vlogging Through History Youtube channel decided to go through the video in two parts. Mowery, who has a background as a history professor, professional genealogist and has written multiple books about various families (not to mention American Civil War - along with World War I, and Medieval English history, being his favorite subjects), had none of Harris' shit. Despite Mowery hoping that he would not need to stop Harris' video constantly to address the faults in his argument, he ended up doing so almost every 10 seconds. Although at end of part 1 Mowery said that "he was about to blow a gasket", he remained cool throughout and thoroughly pounded Harris' bullshit to the ground.

{{video|youtube|XZmQ692aXGE}}
{{video|youtube|pi4sYg2LaRA}}

In 2024, Harris broke a new threshold in his Lost Cause apologia with his video on slavery. In January 4, 2024, he published a video titled "Razör Rants - Was the Civil War ONLY About Slavery?."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py5kiAjL59k Was the Civil War ONLY About Slavery? Nikki Failey's FLOP - Razör Rants</ref>

===Belittling religious right censorship / the satanic panic never happened===
{{Update section}}
From January 17th 2025 onward, Harris has started to claim that the [[satanic panic]] of the 1980s never happened, that it was total [[fake news]] [[psyop]] created by the [[media]], with there being no evidence of this ever having been real.<ref>[https://archive.ph/0txPz January 17th, 2025 tweet - Archived]</ref> This whole discussion was apparently set-off by the recent "goonergate", with people discussing the subject claiming that [[religious right]] is coming back to supplant the "woke leftists". Harris, being the ever-gallant right-wing grifter, began downplaying religious right's pursuits in censorship, with it leading to him claiming that satanic panic never happened.

==Other controversies==
===Not playing the games he reviews===
{{Expand section}}
Harris' first real controversy involved his video game reviews, which was one of the things he was known for at the time.

===Relationship with a minor===
Harris became a subject of controversy around 2021-2022, when it came to light that the Latina girl he had been dating was under-aged.<ref name="EveTweets"/><ref name="EveTweets2"/> Turns out there was a method to the madness in regard to Harris' defensiveness towards  Michael Jackson's pedophilia accusations. As Eve was under-aged, this has caused speculation at [[Kiwifarms]] that Harris' previous girlfriend, Erica Rae Drake, was under-aged and being groomed too.

==Relationships==
Harris has quite a social web.

===Amorous relationships===
* Erica Rae Drake 
* Eve (b. 2000)

===Has collaborated with with===
* [[Styxhexenhammer666]]
* [[Sebastian Gorka]]

===Turned against/former friends===
* Eric Gaede (Asalieri)

===Enemies===
* Anybody that's politically left, with [[Heinrich Himmler]] being his idea of a moderate.
* Hideo Kojima: Lives rent free in Harris' head, despite Kojima's post-Konami career with Death Stranding having not been too great.
* [[John McCain]]
* [[Dee Snider]] (Twister Sister): Yes, ''that'' Dee Snider. He apparently one-upped Harris on Twitter/X.
* Chris Mowery (Vlogging Through History)
* GröömerFist: parody account on YouTube, which has archived some of Harris' more infamous moments.
* Alan Moore, who he calls a 'buggy eyed Bolshevik' even though Moore politically identifies himself as an anarchist.

===Stalking targets===
* Noah "TheSpoonyOne" Antwiler
