The Kid Who Crashed The Game Awards Was on Infowars When He Was 12

TL;DR

Even’s online history paints the picture of a very young person with a penchant for stunts becoming wrapped up in the right-wing online media ecosystem and seemingly encouraged by it.He has appeared on Infowars, which praised him as a conservative star and egged on his antics, and he has said that he is a longtime fan of the show and its hosts, although he denied this in a chat to Motherboard.At the height of those tensions, Even appeared on the fan cam at a Clippers game, holding up a T-Shirt that said, “Fight for freedom stand with Hong Kong.” Also in 2019, he appeared at BlizzCon and yelled “Free Hong Kong” during a World of Warcraft panel.Shroyer describes the shockingly young-looking Even’s Clippers stunt as “trolling and free speech activism all rolled into one.” Even—sitting in front of a background of Star Wars posters and a sign that says, “Fight for Freedom”—says he’s glad then-President Donald Trump sanctioned China over the protests, and tells Shroyer, “Thank you just for putting me on the show, I’ve been a big fan of you for a while,” adding that the host is his “favorite person on Infowars.” In the 2019 Infowars appearance, Even said he came to know Shroyer through another YouTube channel that regularly features right-wing content from Shroyer, Savage Facts.“Some of them will just go with what their parents or favorite celebrity says, or what the news says, even if it is biased, and if it’s not telling the truth, and that’s not really good in today’s generation, especially people my age who are so gullible and they’re just falling for all this fake shit.” In a 2020 appearance on Infowars, when Even was 13, Shroyer called him “one of the young stars of the conservative movement.” Notably, in these appearances, he does not have the thick accent he spoke with at The Game Awards."
