ScrewAttack is an influential YouTube channel and production company known for its pop culture, gaming, and animated comedy content. Founded in 2006 by brothers Craig and Tom Skaggs and their friend “Stuttering” Craig Skistimas. Initially founded as a hobby channel, ScrewAttack expanded into a successful media production company with a number of shows. The company is most known for having contributed to the growth of YouTube personality The Angry Video Game Nerd (James Rolfe), popularizing the ‘TOP 10’ genre of online gaming videos, and developing the popular web series Death Battle, which features well-loved fictional characters competing against each other in death-defying simulations.

Now co-founder Stuttering Craig has a new platform in his increasingly popular podcast, Side Scrollers; having sit-downs with a collection of notable (and sometimes controversial) internet celebrities with a diverse mindset on pop culture news.

Recently on discussing the Side Scrollers podcast, Stuttering Craig denounced certain “DEI” (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies gaining traction in corporate hiring and monetization online; mostly YouTube. Craig bravely critiqued enforced inclusion quotas that judge applicants based on demographic factors rather than individual merits. This touches on a complex issue.

While deceptively well-intentioned, some DEI initiatives undermine civil liberties by compelling speech, policing thoughts, and fixating on differences. Setting quotas for race or gender is inherently discriminatory, even as those policies aim to promote diversity. Respectfully judging people based on their character aligns better with ethical principles of fair treatment, equal dignity and agency.

Craig’s stance has been met with mixed reactions but mostly gratitude from many fans who want transparent discussion of this issue. As an influential creator, his perspective reaches millions and prompts examination of DEI policies that claim inclusion yet ironically divide. Other internet personalities may follow Craig’s lead in critiquing the unintended extremes of enforced diversity efforts.

As an influencer for millions, Stuttering Craig uses his Side Scrollers platform to spark meaningful debate around complex issues like diversity policies. Fans appreciate Craig and the Side Scrollers podcast’s willingness to speak openly about sensitive topics, making the channel so genuinely engaging.

The founders’ transparency, humor, and ethos around individuality have been core to Stuttering Craig’s popularity for over 15+ years. While the Side Scrollers team may continue expanding into new content areas, they stay grounded by those key principles of honesty, humor, and independent thinking that have defined Side Scrollers since the very first videos.

    Diversity is code word for Anti-White. That’s the goal of Clown World.

    All DEI is anti-White civilization wrecking garbage. Don’t be a mealy-mouthed pussy with lame pre-apologies like this.
