My friend consuming Candace Owens in apolitical way. I am worried about him

My friend has always been pretty apolitical. In our entire relationship, we’ve only talked about politics maybe four times.

Recently, though, he’s been really into a Hollywood celebrity scandal involving some pretty notable stars. I know he’s consuming content about it because when I visited his place, he was watching Candace Owens’ YouTube channel covering the story. This was the first time I’d ever seen him watching TV alone, and the first time I realized he even consumed social media like that.

At first, I didn’t recognize her because she’s changed her style a lot since I last watched her, and I didn’t expect her to be covering Hollywood drama. I sat and watched for a minute—admittedly, it was kind of interesting. She was throwing out a lot of conspiracy theories about powerful people in Hollywood and even doing some investigative journalism, gathering testimony, etc. My friend commented that she was smart and interesting and said her channel was the best for following the case.

But then, in that same coverage, she started slandering a female actor who claimed she had been sexually mistreated, accusing her of using her Hollywood status and "female victimhood" as a weapon. I said, something like "I don’t think it’s a good idea to frame alleged victims of sexual crimes like that. Maybe she’s lying, but you still have to be careful."

my friend immediately responded, "That’s typical MeToo garbage."

That really caught me off guard. I didn’t know he felt that way about MeToo, and honestly, it made me sad. Now I can’t help but wonder what his YouTube recommendations look like. I’m imagining him slipping further down the pipeline, and I don’t know what to do
