Later, he retweeted a post from X user @DramaAlert, adding the sarcastic remark, "Oh, NO!!!! BWAHAHHAHAHA."

The accusations against Buechler, a well-known fandom advocate and former comic book retailer with over a decade of experience, began on August 3, 2024. X user @MinuteNerdNews posted a series of tweets accusing him of being a "piece of s**t" and a "grifter" who has "operated for far too long." 

They claimed he is guilty of "selling outrage and anger" and only praises Marvel Cinematic Universe films featuring "white, male, and straight" protagonists. @MinuteNerdNews also accused him of promoting racism and "hatred and negativity," with a ten-second clip from one of his videos used as evidence against him.
