Announcement Introducing the r/ShadWatch Discord
We are happy to introduce the r/ShadWatch Discord! Intended as an extension of our subreddit. A place where you can discuss Shad in his different ventures as well as alternative history youtubers (think Swordtuber Sunday), as well as for more casual chatter with your fellow ShadWatchers, whether that be gaming or a shared interest in history and HEMA.
There is one major difference between the subreddit and the discord that may interest some of you:
'Other Subreddit' discussion IS allowed
In the ol' days we as a sub used to discuss going ons in the subreddit we splintered off from (I don't need to name it, you know). It was a big part of our identity at the time and proved to be very entertaining. Since our subreddit and rule revamp we introduced a rule that basically put an end to all such discussion as we looked to streamline the scope of the subreddit. It has not gone without notice that discussion worthy shenanigans are still going on over there and there are plenty of you who still want to talk about it, and lament that you can't anymore. Well NOW YOU CAN.
A small caveat though, discussion of these 'Sub Shenanigans' is confined to a restricted channel within the discord. Gaining access is a simple case of agreeing to some channel specific rules laid out in an access channel. After which, you will be given a role that will grant you access to a channel where you are free to talk about the 'other sub'. This will be the ONLY place where we will allow such discussion.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Fun Q&A
Is this a secret discord?
No, it's public, just click the link and you're in.
I thought this discord never existed before. Are you lying? Did you hastily make it?
It didn't exist before. It was created approx two weeks ago and was announced on 20th November 2025.
Is this discord 'hideout' an 'admission of guilt?'
No, it's a long planned addition to the community.
Are there 'damning discussions' to be found within?
Nothing that you won't find on the subreddit. Secret channels contain topical discussions similar to what was allowed in the sub's infancy.
Are you scared of 'legal ramifications' of your 'stupidity' for creating this discord?
It's...just a discord server. That's not illegal.

Knights Watch You can trivialise Margaret Atwood
This ignorant tool and his misogynistic mate were bashing women's fiction the other day. Apart from the fact that any one of those authors is almost definitely a superior author to Twad, he's got Margaret Atwood in there, and he doesn't even recognise that he's discussing one of the twentieth century's most gifted and influential writers.
The other three might be great, I don't know but to trivialise The Handmaid's Tale as government-involved rape fiction is insane to me and it just shows the true ignorance of these people as they spout off their un-informed rage-baiting non-sense.

Exposed A new low for Shad, both in regards to him using a term like 'soy' (CRINGE) & that this video hasn't even broken 1000 views despite being live for over 24 hours.

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK
I too am having the good ole fun reading through the transcripts and cringing and I know like myself a few of us will definetly be hate reading it. As an Asexual its the only way I get off.
But a reminder, you will be funding a man who is awful in every respects, and worst of all you may convince shad he has a paying fan.
There will eventually be a cool link posted by someone with a special gift, wait for that. For the ethics of special gifts, I remind you most of the chud critics will not only watch but use footage from cool gifts to bash films. As long as Shad considers them good pals and respects their opinions, free is pretty good.
I would also, as a meta topic, avoid talking about the book for a couple weeks. I know a reddit that endlessly shits on shad won't do much advertisement, but it could and we know shad. One of us says "HOLY SHIT chapter 6 he just writes in a plea to vote Pauline Hanson. (Australia right politician.... im not explaining it)." And we are on ahads twitter page.
So just don't wait a week. Remember all this hate is fun and all but remember to enjoy good media. Reading Sandersons yumi and the nightmare peincess and its pretty good. Chainsmoker Cat is something I watched..... its a thing that will make me sound like a maniac if I explain it.

A Tale of Monsters and Men The blurb for Shad's upcoming book - A Tale of Monsters and Men
r/ShadWatch • u/DragonGuard666 • 7d ago
A Tale of Monsters and Men Shad talks about the themes in his upcoming book. Very clearly inserting his worldview into it.

AI "Art" vs Art So out of these three AI images Shad generated his wife's face onto which do you all think is the worst? Supergirl, Barbie or Moana?
r/ShadWatch • u/Kira_Elea • 12d ago
Actual Jake made another one!
Actual Jake made another wonderful vid about shads hypocritical bashing of socialist ideas and projecting his own fascism on his opponents. He also disses on other family forms than the nuclear family, claiming they depend on the state... all the while this sniveling hypocrite is receiving disability benefits as well (or so i read in these pages) and e-begging so his "nuclear family with a male patriarch" is not the magic pill after all it seems.
He is literally the emperor with no clothes on, who is sitting around ridiculing others' fashion choices.
r/ShadWatch • u/TripleS034 • 13d ago
Exposed How have I never seen Shad's AI generated image of his wife as Moana before?!
From Shad's review of Moana 2 where his wife was off-screen speaking with him about the movie.

Knights Watch Good a bonnet for Clavil
Back to the idea that Shad can only enjoy media if he's rock hard. The sniveling little loser has definitely got his toledo salamanca broadsword out for this.

AI "Art" vs Art Smellsword Farts: "Can something that uses AI ever be considered Art?" Okay, with his last video & this one it does kinda feel like he's baiting Shad into doing a response XD
r/ShadWatch • u/TripleS034 • 16d ago
Swordtuber Sunday Smellsword Farts: "I'm mean, and only make Negative Content". No I did not misspell Sellsword Arts as a joke, that is just what their second channel is called now.
This is a video I could 100% see Shad again thinking is specifically about him despite not being mentioned in it at all & responding to it. I mean David does seem to allude to the drama that happened between them but he doesn't outright say Shad's name. Though saying that it does seem like Shad has moved away from responding to people except when talking about stuff in his Culture Crusade podcast.

Shadow of The Conqueror (Former fan here) What should I do with Shad's book?
I made the mistake of ordering Shad's book back when I was still a big fan of him. However, slowly I watched Shad turn from a "medieval enthusiast" into the troglodyte he is now.
What should I do with it now? I never got the chance to read it, nor do I want to. It just stays on my shelve collecting dust.
r/ShadWatch • u/TripleS034 • 17d ago
Exposed When I get to the point in my video essay of proving Shad is anti-LGBTQ+ I might have to use a text-to-speech to read out this tweet. How arrogant, stubborn, unempathetic & demonic do you have to be to defend not wanting to use someone's preferred pronouns?
Also the complete lack of self-awareness that by using his religion to justify disrespecting & dehumanising someone by not using their preferred pronouns that is literally him forcing his beliefs onto them, shoving his religion in their face. Such a narrow-minded hypocrite.
