What is wranglerstar controversy?

As an AI language model, I am designed to be neutral and cannot provide opinions or perspectives on current events. However, I can provide some information about the controversy surrounding Wranglerstar, a popular YouTube channel dedicated to homesteading.

In early 2021, a controversy erupted over Wranglerstar's past membership in a far-right group called the Proud Boys. Wranglerstar, whose real name is Cody Rhodes, admitted to being a member of the group in 2017 but claimed that he left before the group became a more prominent part of the alt-right movement.

Many viewers were shocked and disappointed by the revelation, and some called for him to be deplatformed from YouTube. Wranglerstar has since apologized for his involvement with the Proud Boys and stated that he does not support their current actions. However, the controversy has led to some backlash and criticism of the channel and its owner.
