If you have been a fan of Babish Culinary Universe/Binging with Babish/whatever you want to call it for any amount of time now and just heard about him supporting the TERF Wizard Blood Libel Simulator Hogwarts Legacy, and are, reasonably, displeased and disappointed, PLEASE DO NOT:
- Click on the video to do whatever (dislike, comment, etc) if you found out the news through outside sources. This just gives him more views.
- Preferably, if you've clicked on it as a frequent viewer of the channel, and didn't expect to see that as a sponsor, do not watch any more of the video. YouTube has statistics for the average start and end times of viewers, the team will definitely know somethings up if a large portion of viewers just. Stop watching a few seconds in. You can dislike if you want, of course this hardly does anything unless people have plugins on their browser or use Vanced, but if you're already there pressing the..largely useless button is fine.
- Please refrain from commenting, at least more than once. Don't reply to anyone. This boosts it. Also, for your own health, don't doom scroll the comments. Babish's page has become a safe haven for bigots and TERFs who like to reply to like every comment telling people shitty, nasty, transphobic things. It's not fun, and it will hurt. Just don't look.
It's a really shitty scenario, yes, but we should do what we can to avoid boosting it any further than it already will be simply because of the popular subject (The Full English breakfast) and the amount of bigots flooding in to "support" Babish. It's hard, but we just need to accept that we lost one.
Other channels to watch (from my own subscription list);
- Adam Ragusea (he's just released a podcast where he stands firmly against Rowling)
- JunsKitchen
- Nino's Home (this one and imamu room don't have any real talking in them, just subtitles, but they are cozy)
- You Suck at Cooking
- imamu room
- Life of Boris (channel currently suffering and inactive, but a sizable backlog of easy to make recipe videos.)
- Atomic Shrimp (he also Scambaits!)
- J Kenji Lopez Alt
- Cooking Haru (ty @eganov I knew I was forgetting someone)
- How to Drink (more closer to Babish humour, but only does bartending/drink vids)
- Tasting History with Max Miller
- delicious day (like imamu room, Nino's Home, and Cooking Haru)
- 효뎡 Dyeong (more of a vlog, but still plenty of cozy recipes and cooking!)
-more to be added

Honestly the whole Babish wizard game sponsorship thing is pretty disappointing. The sponsorship is one thing considering the political climate right now. But seeing that criticisms and expressions of disappointment in the comment section are being deleted. And the rampant transphobic comments going on are wild. The worst part is not even making a statement? Not address anything? Such an easy situation to somewhat rectify, and now people are getting told to join the 43% in the comments. I feel like you have to address it at that point if your community is doing that shit. I don't know man, I unsubbed personally cause that's a bit too suspicious for me. Bad taste sponsorship with pretty bad inaction afterwards.
