Here’s a few examples:

The Popcast (recently made a video warning of the “dangers” of the Barbie movie because it’s feminist. Now Im going to go see it lol), Midnights Edge (general right wing conspiracy theories regarding media, occasional delving into new age crank too), Nerdrotic (thinks Hollywood is engineering a communist Red Guards plot to kill conservatives), The Critical Drinker (typical edgelord anti feminist), Dave Cullen (extreme anti feminist who believes in all the QAnon, Agenda 21 conspiracy theories).

And it goes on and on. I know there’s popular left wing and liberal reviewers too, but for whatever reason so many of the ones I run into are far right. Is there some sort of draw for conservatives to geekdom or is something else going on?

    Could be because everyone can enjoy fiction. Project their own selves into the fictional world. So fiction is where you intersect with people of different political views.

      Normally that’s a fine explanation, but these are the types who complain about any liberal message in fiction, yet seem to ignore it in this big case.

        Conservatives have no media literacy. Most of these channels don’t actually analyse media, they just get mad at it when a critical mass of conservatives are also mad at it.
