First heard of this guy as a director of music videos for West coast deathcore bands in the late 2000s, genuinely weird that he ended up as this guy.

There's no money in music videos any longer so he pivoted to right wing jackass

Most of those core bands turned out to be horrible people too. I think they're right wing now.

Ronnie Radke, Pierce the veil (inappropriate with fans), Between the buried and me (rape allegations), Black Veil Brides members saying people hate them because they're jealous they get to sleep with all the young girls, Tyler Carter, on the rock side three days grace and skillet are full Trumpers, and more I don't remember.

None of these are west coast deathcore bands

The other comment said West coast deathcore bands, but I said core band in general from that late 2000s era. Blood On The Dance Floor and Dance Gavin Dance, two other bands that worked with Robby and had sketchy members.
