Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers (separate video linked here) have accused Jirard Khalil of lying to viewers about his charity.

Jirard is a YouTuber who runs a channel known as the Completionist, where he plays games to 100% completion and reviews them based on how enjoyable the experience was.

The Open Hand Foundation, which was co-founded by Jirard in 2014, was set up to raise money for dementia charities after his dementia-stricken mother passed away. However, their yearly filings with the IRS suggest that none of this money has been donated to charity.

Jacque (Jirard's brother) responded to Karl's emails to the Open Hand Foundation claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner with and disburse these funds, whereas Jirard claimed that he was only aware that none of the funds had gone out last year, yet is still openly promoting Open Hand on stream and claiming they support the UCSF, Alzheimer's Association, the AFTD and many other charities.

Lemmy isn't supporting Nazis, you're being downvoted because making accusations without sources is just yelling into the wind. "Just Google it" and "do your own research" is synonymous in practice and adds nothing to the conversation and only is rumormill level gossip.

Provide links to some sources if you have some legit concerns, because that's definitely news to me.

i guess supporting nazis is more important than typing two words into a search engine

https://imgur.com/a/X7qLRXa have fun, i hope you regret at least a little

I want to be clear, and you should too - RWhiteGoose is a legitimate nazi, and Karl Jobst is his friend and supporter.

edit, yes lemmy supports nazis. here's your links and yet still.

Firstly, these screenshots are from The Elite's and RWhiteGoose's own Discord servers. He was part of the site's council that effectively moderated Goldeneye speedrun records and set precedent for new rules, hence why they didn't do anything until this all came out.

Secondly, Karl barely took part in discussions on these servers. Of the 150 screenshots, he appears in a grand total of one where he debates the taboo surrounding white people saying the n-word with Goose. He even addressed the interactions he had with Goose and all the allegations made against him by Tomatoanus and others in a video.
