He dropped most of his videos regarding on atheism to focus more on social issues such as providing support for feminism and calling out anti-feminist videos from acts like BurnCoalition, NateTalkstoYou, and The Amazing Atheist. Despite his channel name being Libertarian Socialist Rants, he's more of a social anarchist who believes in a society where workers should have control over their own work rather than to be forced to exist in a society dominated by an obey or starve mentality.
- BadMouseProductions(link): Not a fan of religion, but, much like Cammehyabams, grew out of the same arguments that other atheists have made over the past few years to focus on issues like social justice and feminism. Also, he was an AnCap before becoming a social anarchist.

Is friends of Hannah Witton and even made a video with her regarding feminism. Said she loves who she loves in a video regarding her sexuality, even going as far to say, "I don't fall in love with men or women. I fall in love with people." She is also willing to discuss things such as depression and the insecurities that happen in her life, such as depression and sexual abuse.

- Maja Anushka(link): Feminist YouTuber who came under fire from Undoomed and his fanboys when she made the video Feminism Also Helps Men. The point she was trying to make in that video was that if you get rid of the gender roles, which is what feminism is fighting for, then men would be able to open up about their problems and be able to have a shoulder to cry on... and Undoomed completely dismissed her solution. Because of the personal attacks made on her, she was forced to take the video down because of how unsafe she felt. In another video she made, in regards to the Undoomed situation, she even said that she didn't mind if people disagreed with her as it makes things interesting but she doesn't like physical attacks made on her, such as how she looks or her voice.
