* Alastor Hacon: Another largely anti-woke reactionary pop culture review channel, generally doing content based on whatever similar channels like and dislike at the time ("My Problem with Shipping: Everything is Gay Now"). This includes defenses for The Critical Drinker, Eric July, and [=MauLer=] ("Organized In Bad Faith"). They express genuine interest in Doki Doki Literature Club, but the videos hardly get comparable views. He has a smaller side channel, Alastor's Gun Channel, doing informal reviews of his arsenal.

* The Bonebridger: Another anti-woke reactionary channel with a glaring distaste for women characters in modern media. They claim to be a channel about "movie rumors, entertainment and parody".

* WebVideo/DespotOfAntirm: Another anti-woke reactionary channel created by a UK video essayist currently living in South Korea. They originally started off doing low-viewed book reviews in 2019, where they suggested the climate change denial book "Inconvenient Facts" as a "must-read". This eventually spiraled into videos about alarmist rhetoric about his recent visit to UK and complaining about the lack of "hot women". This has lead to one of his highest video videos, "Worst of Woke Awards". Since then, he's realized his most popular content is explicitly appealing to the anti-woke crowd and pursues this angle. Is pro-capitalist or at the very least despises people who hate capitalism.

* [=FritangaPlays=]: Another anti-woke gaming channel with clickbaity thumbnails, with console war rhetoric against [=PlayStation=]. Their Twitter account was suspended for hate speech violations. Likewise, the same reason they received a strike on their "Spider-Man 2 Wokeness is Too Much Even for Angry Joe" video, featuring an unflattering caricature of the caustic critic. With that said, he frequently makes fun of Synthetic Man's anti-woke rants, and also mocked [=HeelvsBabyface's=] Starfield pronoun meltdown.

* Jedi Brooks: Another timely reactionary anti-woke channel, generally talking about Disney properties, through various series like "Why "X" Sucks - A Scene Comparison", "The Desecration of 'X'", and "A Critique of X".

* Jonny Law: Another very anti-woke pop culture reviewer. Best known for their "Why Everyone Hates..." series, which goes after the usual grifting targets of the early 2020s (Marvel, LOTR, Star Wars) with unflattering thumbnails of their subjects. In late 2023, they proudly became associated with The Critical Drinker after being invited to their After Hours channel.

* Jonas J. Campbell: Another anti-woke and conservative American channel with the goal of trying to trying challenge media companies' "never-ending quest to destroy traditional values". The titular [=YouTuber=] analyses "woke media" through a WebVideo/CinemaSins-like format, to give them "all the credit they deserve" with social political tropes and commentary that could be perceived as "harmful to future generations". Barring a ironically self-aware April Fool's video on ''Top Gun: Maverick'', their opinions in their videos and Twitter are played straight. Campbell is also a columnist for The Park Place, and assocaites with likeminded [=YouTuber WDWPro=] and [=ValliantRenegad=].

* Nerdsfeed: Another pop-culture reviewing channel, with a recurring interest in ''Transformers'' (with a couple of video essays dedicated to analysing ''Transformers: Prime''). They're expressingly anti-woke and queerphobic, which is the subject of on their video on ''We Baby Bears'' entitled "Baby WE Can't Bear to Let YOUR Kids be Kids". In reaction to a brief conversation of friendly pirates addressing themselves to the Baby Bears with preferred pronouns, they claim to "logically" retort with misconstrued studies about gender dysmorphia. They further double down on this sentiment regarding ''Transformers: Earthspark'', "Manipulating Kids and Destroying a Legacy", which is currently their most popular video at 97k views.

* Price of Reason: Another reactionary anti-woke film and television review and pop culture news channel, littered with pushing misinformation about whatever media falls under the culture wars of the week. In response to ''Picard'' Season 3, a titular Star Trek spin-off that quickly healed it's mixed reputation through its release, he argued it was "annoying" that playing to their usual rhetoric wouldn't work in this instance.

* Thinking Critical: Another podcast-style comic book critic with sympathies towards the [=ComicsGate=] movement, including videos dedicated to talking about [=SJWs=] impacting Western media.

* Think Before You Sleep: Another reactionary anti-woke commentary channel hosted by Sean. Starting off with [=#IStandWithVic=] with in 2019, the channel has grown to focuses on critique, "debunking", and shaming people who identify as queer, varying [[HollywoodPudgy degrees]] of being overweight, feminism, and "woke culture". Rarely, they have branched out with videos like "Reality Shows That Were Faked" to appear more like non-social political factoid videos. "Why You Don't Support Addicts" has been their most viewed video at 7 million views.

* Working Jellyfish: Another informal pop-culture reviewing [=YouTuber=], through the avatar of a blue cartoon jellyfish. Majority of their videos tend to focus on culture war talking points about Disney-era Star Wars (and [=LucasFilm=]) and Halo. While generally having sub 1,000 viewed videos, their most popular video is "Why Do People Hate Disney Star Wars?" at 175k views.

* "Woke": A term originally used by progressive and left-leaning individuals to refer to being alert to racial prejudice, as in "''waking'' up to injustice". The term has also been appropriated by those on the right in general to refer to anything even remotely progressive or inclusionary, but some moderate individuals have used this term to describe media that they view as marketing itself as progressive or diverse [[DontShootTheMessage at the expense of quality]] or [[TakeThatCritics through talking down to the audience]]. It is a ''very'' popular word amongst anti-woke [=YouTube=] channels, often getting emphasized in their video titles or thumbnails by using CapsLock. e.g. "New WOKE movie flops hard at the box office".

* Blair White: A Republican trans woman who is highly critical of the far-left and many topics in the LGBTQ+ community. She voted for Donald Trump in 2016 though has been quite critical of many of his policies. She is anti-authoritarian and very anti-woke. Self-identifies as center-right. She was exposed as a grifter after being caught lying about her political compass test results as well as deliberately cropping off a medical article about trans women getting cervical cancer.

* Creator/BrendanBlaber: Better known by his channel name [=JelloApocalypse=]. Mostly keeps politics out of his videos, but infamously made a now deleted video in 2018 titled "vote," which quickly devolved from a politically neutral encouragement for his fans to vote, no matter the inconvenience, to a hardcore endorsement of left-wing causes and disapproval of right-wing causes.

* The Canipa Effect: Callum May's anime-focused channel that talks about Japanese animation (2D and 3DCG) and its related industry, informing and debunking misconceptions. Occasionally talk about Korean animation in the case of Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender. Social media presence is more progressive-leaning, with opinions towards better workplace treatment and anti-monopoly.

* Shane Hummus: A college and vocational school YouTuber who aims to teach people prospective career choices with or without college. On the surface, the content is fairly neutral (though occasionally short-sighted), but Hummus' political opinions about Art and Gender Studies in various ranking videos (The Most Useless College Degrees) tend to leak out. While he argues that college is too expensive to be pursuing an art degree when there are better low-cost options, he's more concerned about the "cringe [liberal] talking points you're going to hear from the media, Hollywood and social media...to be a good little NPC student for college institutions" for taking them.

* STRANGE ÆONS: Canadian nonbinary lesbian Youtuber who mostly covers social media and fandom history. Is clearly of a progressive bent and will criticize drama that is misogynistic, queerphobic, or otherwise bigoted in nature, but will also call out online SoapboxSadie types who engage in misplaced, excessive, or bad-faith social justice activism.

* Veritas et Caritas: History Youtuber. Identifies as a Christian Anarcho-mutualist and a leftist, and prefers to cover topics often under-explored by other history channels. In addition to making videos debunking bigotry and rightism, also has some videos dedicated to criticizing leftist Youtubers who perpetuate misinformation.

* WebVideo/TheNeedleDrop/Anthony Fantano: Music review channel. Fantano is an outspoken liberal who often highlights and praises socially progressive music and artists while condemning those with regressive, anti-woke, and/or hateful work, though he does criticize those on the left he feels are disingenuous or have bad intentions (he's been openly critical of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump since the 2016 US election, but also criticized his Democrat opponent [[UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton Hillary Clinton]] as being corrupt). He used to frequent (and became popular on) Website/FourChan during the channel's start in the early 2010's, and occasionally indulged in its style of edgy, meme-based humor on his personal side channel "thatistheplan", but gradually distanced himself from the scene, finding it to be "toxic and problematic". In late 2017, he was subject to a hit piece by music magazine ''The Fader'' which accused him of pandering to the alt-right by sourcing "thatistheplan" and its humor, which Fantano would refute (leading to a private settlement and the article being removed), and he directly cited this incident as having led him becoming more outspoken about his actual politics and advocacy for social justice issues.

* Adam Blampied: ProfessionalWrestling journalist, former [[Wrestling/DefiantWrestling WCPW]] personality, and host in multiple wrestling and {{Board Game|s}} channels, most known for his {{Top Ten List}}s and fantasy booking videos. Generally apolitical and often voluntarily skirts around discussing modern, politically-charged controversies (such as the personal politics or actions of wrestlers or other talent), but is often critical of regressive attitudes throughout wrestling culture, from destructive machismo that enabled ruthless hazing culture and unnecessarily dangerous spots that shortened the lives of pro wrestlers, to casual racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, especially during the Wrestling/AttitudeEra and the Wrestling/RuthlessAggressionEra. He was also one of many vocal critics blasting Wrestling/{{WWE}} doing business with the Saudi Arabian government in light of its poor human rights record.

* WebVideo/RebelTaxi: An animation and video game-focused video reviewer hosted by Pan Pizza, an artist and animator known for ''Loki IRL'' and the unproduced ''Mortal Kombat Ultra Girls''. The channel is stylized after Creator/Toonami's review segments, and general 2000s aesthetics, covering various mainstream, nostalgic, and/or obscure media (sometimes lost media, via the "The Midnight Society" segments). Despite his predilection for self-aware immature and edgy one-liners, he doesn't engage in an anti-woke mindset or share those talking points. Covering controversial content, especially caught in culture war talking points, is usually when Pan is at his most tactful and constructive ("How Disney's "OYE PRIMOS!" Pissed Off Everyone").

* E;R: Edgelord whose gimmick is being edgy so intentionally says offensive things. Unclear if he believes them. His political views are highly ambigious are subject to much debate.

* EZ PZ: Edgelord animation reviewer who infamously spread allegations about the animation industry from a blacklisted source. Similar to E;R, it's unknown if he believes any of the offensive remarks he makes.

* Three Arrows: Leftist

* Toy Galaxy: A nostalgia-focus [=YouTube=] channel that covers the history of various franchises from the 80s-2000s, especially toys. Their videos tend to be on the political center, but both creators express progressive stances on social media.

* Raging Golden Eagle: [=ComicsGate=]-affiliated comic book author who regularly hosts livestreams on his [=YouTube=] channel discussing political and pop culture-related news. Aggressively anti-woke and supportive of movements like [=GamerGate=], [=ComicsGate=], and ISWV. Has very unfavorable views on marriage, LGBTQ+ people (trans women, especially), feminism, abortion, BLM, and people/organizations who hold/agree with progressive views. Regularly shouts out fellow anti-woke commentators/creators, and often cites news sites like pre-2021 One Angry Gamer, Bounding into Comics and Not the Bee for his news stories.

* WebAnimation/GradeAUnderA: Started out as a somewhat anti-woke centrist [=YouTube=] rant comedian, commentator, and animator ([[{{Minimalism}} of the minimalist kind]]) who often makes apolitical observational comedy videos. At one point took a deep dive into politics wherein he expressed his dissatisfaction with both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton during their presidential election. He's made a couple of jabs at "[=SJWs=]" in a few of his videos. Despite a few jokes at their expense, Grade seemed very pro-LGBT. However, his videos in 2019 and especially 2024 revealed him to be an anti-woke reactionary who despises political correctness and started expressing negative sentiment towards the LGBT community by criticizing neo-pronouns and disagreeing with trans women being in women's sports. Also makes several fatphobic jokes throughout his videos.

* WebVideo/MrBeast: Apolitical but appears to be a capitalist based on how he runs his channel and handles his wealth. Pro-LGBT, as he posted a tweet defending one of his friends from transphobia.

* Nerdsfeed: Another pop-culture reviewing channel, with a recurring interest in ''Transformers'' (with a couple of video essays dedicated to analysing ''Transformers: Prime''). They're expressingly anti-woke and queerphobic, which is the subject of on their video on ''We Baby Bears'' entitled "Baby WE Can't Bear to Let YOUR Kids be Kids"
In reaction to a brief conversation of friendly pirates addressing themselves to the Baby Bears with preferred pronouns, they claim to "logically" retort with misconstrued studies about gender dysmorphia. They further double down on this sentiment regarding ''Transformers: Earthspark'', "Manipulating Kids and Destroying a Legacy", which is currently their most popular video at 97k views.

* The Wolfe Pit: A casual food-centric channel that reviews prepacked commerical meals, alongside low-cost cooking recipes. Most of the time, the videos are largely apolitical, aiming towards low to middle viewers to teach transparency about the foods they eat. He has occasionally made a social-political joke or explicit American patriotism regarding businesses. In "Who's Eating Red Lobster Frozen Parmesan Crusted Garlic & Herb Stuffed Shrimp", an inoffensive critique praising the product's usage of real whole shrimp goes into discussing how major companies outsource seafood processing overseas to save money, at the expense of American jobs. He urges and links viewers to support small American seafood businesses, and goes on a defensive rant assuming he'll be called a "racist, Trumper, etc..." for this viewpoint. "Kellogg's CEO Says If You Struggle..." is the rare recipe video centered on a socio-political topic, in response to the titular cereal CEO suggesting lower-income people eat more cheap cereal for dinner, due to rising grocery costs in the USA. He makes a implicitly positive reference to the conservative backed Budlight protest in 2023, as a reference point for what people should do to Kellogg's products for their tone-deaf response.

* WebVideo/{{Asmongold}}: Very openly a centrist who despises the extremes of both sides. He believes the term "centrist" shouldn't be a pejorative. Eventually shifted to anti-woke content somewhere around 2023.

* WebAnimation/GradeAUnderA: Started out as a somewhat anti-woke centrist [=YouTube=] rant comedian, commentator, and animator ([[{{Minimalism}} of the minimalist kind]]) who often makes apolitical observational comedy videos. At one point took a deep dive into politics wherein he expressed his dissatisfaction with both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton during their presidential election.

* [=EmpLemon=]: Centrist, may lean right. In his video titled "Jimmy Kimmel Represents Everything Wrong with American Entertainment," he says that he's not a fan of Trump, but applauds his attempt to make peace with North Korea, and blasts late night talk show hosts for their relentless anti-Trump coverage fueled more by bias and anger than by any desire to make funny jokes.
