In a YouTube livestream that was uploaded in 2016 , Bertke stated that he has a " fairly robust resentment of the gay community " . On the topic of the Orlando nightclub shooting , a terrorist attack at a gay bar in Florida in 2016 , he said , " It amazes me to see the West welcoming a culture through the floodgates that wants gays dead . I think that 's fantastic " . Bertke later claimed to have no hate for the gay community and also cited his Asperger syndrome and bipolar disorder as contributing factors . He stated that the video was made in bad taste and that he never intended for it to go public , although he also stated that he was trying to " impersonate the far-right and create hysteria " , noting that the video was made around the time of the 2016 American election . YourEDM compared his " homophobic rhetoric " to the 2015 video , which he similarly tried to explain as a social experiment . Writing for '' The Verge '' , Megan Farokhmanesh saw this explanation as a transparent attempt at plausible deniability . As a result of this video coming to light , Disney removed Bertke 's songs from a restaurant playlist at its California Adventure location due to pressure from fans
