'''Brittany Venti''' {{lived|1997}} is an [[alt-right]] [[troll]] and [[fascist]]-sympathizing [[YouTube]] personality.<ref>[https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/brittanyventi.html Brittany Venti], Famous Birthdays.</ref>{{efn|She literally got the name 'Venti' from drinking too many Starbucks Lattes.}} She has accumulated hundreds of thousand subscribers on YouTube and maintains a presence on DLive, [[Facebook]], and [[Instagram]].

==From "feminist" streamer to alt-right troll== 
Brittany Venti started her online streaming brand in 2015 on the streaming site Twitch (which she is now banned from) by broadcasting herself playing [[video game]]s like ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]''.

Venti became a [[lolcow]] after freaking out on stream and claiming another player was [[rape|raping]] her in-game, which prompted a number of online debates about her behavior and prompted her to develop a character around her perception as an unstable YouTuber and game streamer.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV/comments/4n8sq1/how_did_they_get_the_dong_on_brittany_venti_in/ how did they get the dong on brittany venti in GTA V]. Reddit thread, c. 2016.</ref>

[[File:Venti-charlottesville.png|thumb|right|200px|Venti at the [[Unite the Right]] riot.]]After [[Trump]]'s victory in the [[2016 U.S. presidential election|2016 United States general election]], Venti, like many other internet personalities, began socially and monetarily capitalizing on the rise of a much younger, energetic and online far-right by [[grifter|joining in]] on the real-life trolling at Shia Labeouf's art show in 2017.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wLnYxoDoToo Brittany Venti gives a speech at HWNDU - He Will Not Divide Us // *stream highlight*]. Josip on YouTube, c. 2017.</ref> This resulted in her gaining followers from [[4chan]]’s [[neo-Nazi]] infested board [[/pol/]] and being named "The Queen of /pol/" by some of its users. It also resulted in piggybacking off the fame of far-right commentator and ''Vice'' co-founder [[Gavin McInnes]] and failed far-right rapper "[[Baked Alaska]]". She also was in attendance at a local May Day Rally in New York City with far-right agitator [[Laura Loomer]] where she ended up being arrested<ref>Ryan Beckler, [https://archive.is/TetC2 Alt-Right Provocateur Arrested At May Day Protest]. Archived from vocativ.com, 1 May 2017.</ref> and marching alongside Tiki Torch-wielding fascists at the deadly and violent neo-Nazi rally "[[Unite the Right]]" in Charlottesville, Virginia. Venti is seen on (a now-private livestream) defending the white nationalists in attendance and even justifying the actions of convicted domestic terrorist [[James Alex Fields Jr.]]<ref>[https://youtu.be/AkTAGzh7h6s Neo Nazi Brittany Venti (Dier) at Charlottesville]. Venti Archives on YouTube, c. 2021.</ref>

However, many have debated whether Venti actually believes the stuff she says or is just riding the rising wave of fascist alt-right politics and beliefs online. This has caused some to believe that Venti is just a "clout chasing e-girl" who latches onto any far-right e-celeb that enters her vicinity for content while throwing them under the bus when socially convenient.

In one of her streams, Venti compares meeting internet personalities within alt-right circles to [[Pokémon]], which in her words she needs to "Catch 'em all."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3DqYu6ywoc Brittany Venti clout chaser]. Venti Archives on YouTube, c. 2021.</ref> 

In recent years, however, Venti has adapted her image, taking a strong (yet [[ironic]]) stance against [[pornography]] and has since regularly been attacking and starting internet [[flame war]]s with other more popular women online such as famous Twitch streamer "Pokimane", [[anti-feminist]] YouTuber [[Shoe0nHead]],<ref>[https://thegoldwater.com/news/27160-Brittany-Venti-vs-Shoe0nhead-Round-Two-Internet-Drama-Continues-To-Heat-Up Brittany Venti vs. Shoe0nhead Round Two: Internet Drama Continues To Heat Up]. thegoldwater.com, 26 May 2018.</ref> and Anisa Johma, the girlfriend of famous YouTuber IDubbbzTV while gaining a fringe [[misogynistic]] [[incel]] audience along the way. Venti has attacked these women merely because they do not fit her (or shall we say, her audience's) views on women, traditionalism, and conservative [[Catholic]] values. Something that Venti is clearly a massive champion of.

==Views on race==
[[File:Venti-Mother.png|thumb|right|200px|"I have an [[Nigger|n word]] pass whether you guys like it or not"]]
Venti, being born from a black mother and white father, is of mixed-race heritage. Venti's views on race are not consistent and tend to contradict each other at times; however, it can be assumed that she has some symptoms of [[Uncle Tom|internalized discrimination]].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/7tg0b8/brittanyventi_banned_from_twitch_again_for_doing/ BrittanyVenti banned from Twitch again for doing an African inspired cooking stream]. Reddit thread, c. 2018.</ref> 

In January of 2018, Venti was given a 24-hour ban when a video she posted about "African cooking" was deemed to contain [[racist]] and offensive [[stereotypes]] of [[Africa]] and [[Haiti]], claiming to call people from those regions "[[Geophagia|dirt eaters]]" and her (now ex) boyfriend in the background could be heard mocking Venti's "African [[IQ]]" and proceeding to make clicking noises as a form mocking some African languages. As a result, this deeply enraged her as she said that she is half-black as her mother is black. She even attached her [[DNA]] results in order to prove her claim.<ref>[https://ganker.com/twitch-forces-black-streamer-to-submit-dna-analysis-over-african-cooking-show/ Twitch forces black streamer to submit DNA analysis over african cooking show]. ganker.com, 28 January 2018.</ref>

Venti's views on race can contradict and fluctuate at times, whether this is a way to "troll the libs" or she is just that incompetent. She seems to [[Identity politics|only care about being black when it socially benefits her or helps her to get out of problems she created herself]].<ref>Erina Rose, [https://web.archive.org/web/20200419123838/https://sausageroll.com.au/entertainment/internet/youtube-banned-brittany-venti-for-reading-a-book-on-livestream/ YouTube banned Brittany Venti for reading a book on livestream].

==Antisemitism==
{{main|Antisemitism}}
Anywhere /pol/ goes, the [[International Jewish conspiracy]] and '[[Alt-right glossary#Jew|Jew]] jokes' aren't too far behind. Many of these kinds of ideas have managed to seep themselves through the crusty cracks of Venti's fanbase and out of her mouth. Despite some claiming "[[Just a joke|it's just a joke she doesn't REALLY believe that]]", Venti has been seen on multiple accounts espousing the common antisemitic [[talking point]]s, such as calling donations from her viewers "Goyns" (a mixture between "[[Goy]]im" (non-Jewish) and "coin"), having members in her own stream chats saying "Gas the Kikes!" and is also seen rubbing her hands together after receiving a huge donation from one of her viewers like the "[[Evil Jew|Le Happy Merchant Meme]]", an antisemitic caricature drawn by Neo Nazi cartoonist "[[A. Wyatt Mann]]", and is a common [[meme]] posted by neo-Nazis and fascists on /pol/.

Whether Venti actually believes these things or is just [[Alt-right#The dawn of shitposting|shitposting]], it is very clear that some alt-right elements seeped into her audience, and she has adopted or explored these beliefs at some point.

==Hypocrisy and inconsistency in logic==
Despite admitting to be of mixed-racial heritage<ref>[https://ganker.com/twitch-forces-black-streamer-to-submit-dna-analysis-over-african-cooking-show/ Twitch forces black streamer to submit DNA analysis over african cooking show]. ganker.com, 28 January 2018.</ref> and being the recipient of racist attacks on her mixed heritage by the white nationalist elements of her follower base online, Venti has proudly aligned with many white nationalist and neo-Nazi social media figures and YouTubers such as Lauren Rose and Nick Fuentes.

Though claiming to oppose pornography — which is ironic since she has made money showing her breasts to incels online — she has previously suggested that she would consider doing pornography in the future<ref>[https://youtu.be/DgWxuKsvIXs brittany venti admitting to porn in her future being ok]. Venti Archives on YouTube, 26 January 2021.</ref> and even started an OnlyFans account.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200225164234/https://twitter.com/BrittanyVenti/status/1232345123356315648 I made an onlyfans account where I post my pussycat I now have 200 paying fans And what do you know..
