Steven Williams, the man who plays Boogie2988 on YouTube, had a mini-meltdown last night on Twitter. The reason? He thinks Donald Trump is going to take away his violent video games.
Does anyone even make violent video games anymore? Rockstar last put out a Grand Theft Auto game in 2013. When I think of so-called violent video games, I think of the Grand theft Auto franchise. Games like that aren’t my thing, so I don’t know if there’s anything out there right now that rises to the violent equivalency of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Boogie began to sperg out yesterday with the following tweet:
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON.
THIS WAS THE ONE THING I TRUSTED TRUMP TO DO RIGHT.
LEAVE VIDEO GAMES ALONE. https://t.co/rqf1ozALpq

People then began calling Boogie out for not criticizing Donald Trump for any of the other retarded things he’s tried to do until now. I guess some people assumed Boogie was a supporter of Donald Trump since he’s never said a negative thing about him or his policies until now. Plus, Boogie is a Republican. Not just any Republican, he’s an Arkansas Republican.
That’s one of the problems with being a middle of the road fence sitter, something Boogie always take great pride in being. People never really know what you believe in.
My guess is people see Boogie, a white guy in his forties living in Arkansas who makes a lot of money from his YouTube videos and has never criticised Donald Trump, assume he’s a Donald Trump supporter. Considering how he sperged out yesterday, I think he was a Donald Trump supporter. His tweets and the emotion behind them reminded me of something you’d expect from a jilted lover.
By far my favorite Boogie tweet was this gem:
Gonna log off twitter for a while. You guys can burn down whatever straw man version of me that you need to while I'm gone. My fans, and friends, and family know what I've done to defend this country in this lifetime. Its ok if you insist on being obtuse.

What’s G. I. Boogie ever done to defend this country?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
