This is the second time I've asked this question, since I was not answered previously. What is the evidence of Sam Hyde being connected to the alt-right? It's not demonstrated by the sources. Several of the news sites repeated allegations made without evidence by BuzzFeed News (which is now defunct due to multiple credibility issues) and the Hollywood Reporter interviewer came to an opposing conclusion after talking to Hyde. RockabillyRaccoon ( talk) 08:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
andthe network's marketing department produced billboard proofs with over-the-top tag lines such as "World Peace is Racist, Hateful, and Takes No Prisoners." Hyde claimed this sabotaged the marketing by forcing him to reject the marketing team's ideas resulting in no billboards for the series. Hyde also claimed that one of the Williams Street production staff was fired from her position after a failed attempt to break into the show's editing suite to delete the show's footage, and that Million Dollar Extreme members were confronted at an Adult Swim company party by someone saying she was going to get them fired
and was able to deny the allegations of coded racist messages needing to be removed? Also if all these statements from him were actually somehow part of the character he never drops rather than responses from Hyde the person, why are we repeating them as if they are responses from Hyde? I.E. You can't have it both ways, you can't imply that perhaps he never denied he donated the $5000 etc because he never drops character while simultaneously claiming we should mention these statements from Hyde. Nil Einne ( talk) 20:26, 10 June 2023 (UTC)According to Hyde, despite Adult Swim executives' apparent interest to pick up the show for a second season, Turner ultimately decided to cancel the show.[12] Hyde also accused Tim Heidecker of being against the series due to his political views, and using his influence with network executives to prevent its renewal for a second season,[3]
Looking through the talk archive, I noticed that this issue was previously brought up before I did. How is there still not a resolution? I'd just like a basic answer, like "although there's no evidence that Sam Hyde himself is alt-right, his comedy is enjoyed by some people in the alt-right, so we think the categorization is appropriate". Is that the reason behind the categorization on here and Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace? If that was the reason I would at least understand. RockabillyRaccoon ( talk) 16:41, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
3O Response: I agree with Pokelova here. RockabillyRaccoon, BuzzFeed News is not BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed News is an entirely different branch of the company with their own totally separate managerial and editorial processes. They were very good and always were. They were shut down due to budget issues, not credibility issues. If a lot of reliable sources report something, we say it. It doesn't matter that you are personally unconvinced by the sources, because we report things that are verifiable, not the truth. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 16:35, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
He's also a member of the alt-right -- his twitter account @Night_0f_Fire spewed hatred for Hillary Clinton, support for Donald Trump, called Lena Dunham a "fat pig" and mocked Black Lives Matter before being suspended -- and was involved in the Gamergate.[1]
In fact, one of the show's creators and star, Sam Hyde, has espoused many alt-right views on Twitter. The Atlantic described the show and Hyde's tweets as "peering inside the mind of a far-right Twitter troll."[2] [3]
The six-episode run of "World Peace" received steady ratings and aired the sort of sketches that, in the parlance of the alt-right, "dropped red pills." One sketch cast Hyde as a pickup artist training a wheelchair-bound man in his ways, which included buying sweatpants from "the black person mall" and bestowing the secret name "David Duke."[4]
Its creator, Sam Hyde, is also an outspoken proponent of the alt-right. “Million Dollar Extreme” was canceled after one season.[5]
Earlier this week, Adult Swim confirmed that they’ve canceled their new show Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace not long after Brett Gelman severed ties with the network over the “alt-right” show as well as their treatment of women[6]
Mr. Hyde is a real person, an absurdist comedian whose jokes often lean far right politically.[7]
So we have high quality RSes (NYT, WaPo, Atlantic) backing this up, but also popular culture-focused RSes like Vulture, Mashable, and Pitchfork. I would say this passes muster pretty handily. — Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 15:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
but he says he is disinterested in politics
Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves.It's not called "WP:ABOUTOTHERS". The issue is the editing, question design, and editorial judgment of the source. We also don't use ABOUTSELF to contradict what RSes say. Because people are not necessarily reliable sources for information based on how others describe them. E.g. Authors don't actually get to decide what genre their books are published under, publishers do that. — Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 22:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
"Bob Smith was accused of motor vehicle theft by his grandparents.<news citation> Smith denies this.<ABOUTSELF citation>
When dealing with a potentially biased source, editors should consider whether the source meets the normal requirements for reliable sources, such as editorial control, a reputation for fact-checking, and the level of independence from the topic the source is covering.— Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 17:58, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I watched this piece on Hyde's career resurgence and it brings up the Anglin donation as possibly have been made by someone else in Hyde's name as a prank similar to how his fans send news organizations his picture and name every time there is a mass shooting. The maker of the video even pointed out that Hyde never actually confirmed or denied that he had actually made the donation and that he may have simply been messing with the interviewer who called him to ask about the donation by wording his response in a way that simultaneously implies he did it while offering him plausible deniability.
