After his TikTok account was deleted and his YouTube channel de-monetised, pro-Palestine content creator Rathbone migrated to right-wing Rumble. Seems like an odd choice based strictly on ideology, and I figure it’s probably only a matter of time before Rumble kicks him too, simply on the Palestine question alone.

So that begs the question - how capable is Tankie Tube of absorbing a popular content creator? Assuming this is going to continue to happen more and more (Hasanabi seems like he’s on the Twitch chopping block at this very moment).

        By pure luck I can answer some of that, basically he had a 14yo bandmate that he said was his ‘muse’ and stuff like that, he used to give her music lessons then they formed a ‘band’ and he wanted to run away with her I think? It’s just a very weird situation. Last I heard she left the band, I think this was before he started making tiktoks, don’t know if they’re still in contact.

        Tbh rathbone is wrong about a lot of stuff all the time and he’s a patsoc.

      iirc he was working in a private school as a music teacher and then quit to start a band with one of his 13 or 14 year old students. In the article about the band i read he also described her as “very mature for her age”
