you’d think this @snazzyq video would be about how he's sorry for having praised TRMNL, a company whose CEO turned out to be a homophobic, transphobic, pro-Trump, Charlie Kirk-loving douche

but nope, it's actually about how much he still loves the product as well as the company's newer models that he was offered to review by that very same CEO -- oh and he’s also promoting his affiliate link for TRMNL purchases

@snazzyq yes, you owe us a follow-up. Ideally one that’s not a middle finger.

edit: looks like Ryan Kulp tried hard to scrape his hundreds of incriminatory tweets and blog posts from the internet. Thankfully the Internet Archive lives: https://web.archive.org/web/20251006150239/https://www.ryanckulp.com/how-to-stand-for-charlie-kirk/

why you deleting comments mate? @snazzyq

Niléane 3d ago

lol I don't even know why I bothered looking up his old posts in the Internet Archive, because this is still his profile pic on X today:

@nileane To give him the benefit of the doubt, it could also have been the youtube auto moderation thing. Wouldn’t put that past youtube.

@nileane (That benefit of the doubt and my good will are dwindling with every hour that he refuses to even acknowledge this while people are backordering trmnls because of him tho)

@nileane cause the affiliate link makes him money

@nileane @snazzyq even if you think political violence is not acceptable, how this guy frames religion should make you uncomfortable.

@nileane Here’s also a few screenshots from his twitter I posted when people first became aware of his views. https://chaos.social/@fi/114959701828726496

@nileane @snazzyq That article was so hard to read. So many things wrong with what he said in that article.

@nileane he must be smoking crack or something

@nileane Thank you for pointing this out. I bought the original model before any of this came out and every time I look at it, I want to chuck it out the window.

Sucks I gave him money in the first place but it won’t happen again.

@nileane @snazzyq I literally thought it was about the CEO when the thumbnail popped up in your toot.

@nileane I didn't hear about the CEO and saw that video as it was recommended in my feed.
You just saved me from potentially buying it.

@schwa @nileane @snazzyq @BenRiceM Yea, I had ordered the followup product a few months ago and found out he was a hard Trumper. Nope’d out and cancelled.

@nileane @snazzyq @BenRiceM @schwa can you link some evidence of this? I want to know but I can’t find much googling

@nileane I was wondering why people were saying he was a bad guy, thank you for bringing this up!

@nileane people talk, but as soon as there is ANY money to be made…

@nileane @snazzyq @BenRiceM honestly, I expected better of Quinn.

I think it’s now hard for me to recommend his channel, and certainly not this product.

I can’t excuse support of a company has an anything phobic CEO, but far much so for transphobia.

I owe at least that much to @jae and any other trans person.

@nileane @snazzyq I saw your original toot about this right after buying one. They send a follow-up email asking how you like it and I told them it went straight from the mail to the trash due to that prick. Thanks for the heads-up, Nileane.

@nileane I wrote some comments about it under his video in the best faith I had, and they mysteriously vanished. I also wrote to him here and haven’t gotten any reaction from him. :/

@nileane @snazzyq Yes! 👏

First thing I tooted about this morning after I saw the video!

Extremely dissapointing take from someone I thought was better than this.

@nileane I remember back when he had a podcast on relay he set off some piece of shit vibes. this tracks

@nileane some people have no morals, especially when it comes to selling their own soul for money.

I admit I bought a TRMNL in the early days, but as soon as I found out about the CEO I disconnected it and took it to the local recycling centre for electronics.

Niléane 3d ago

@daj I got one before I found out as well. I'm still using mine because I paid for the damn thing but yea I'm never giving that company money again

Raphael Rychetsky 3d ago

@nileane I thought the same. Very disappointing @snazzyq

Joel Parker 3d ago

@nileane @snazzyq @BenRiceM 100%. I started watching the video and bailed when it became clear that this wasn’t going to address the laundry list of problematic. I thought it was going to be “I helped make this company $1M and the CEO said wut???”

Matt Foster 1d ago

@nileane all I can infer, based on his silence, is that @snazzyq agrees with all of Kulp’s ideas. That’s enough for me.
