Statements About the Ukrainian Game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

Dedp streamed the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2" by Ukrainian developer GSC Game World, who openly support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, removed Russian voice acting from the game, changed the spelling from Chernobyl to Chornobyl, and ceased sales in the Russian Federation. This drew criticism from the "patriotic" segment, as the blogger was effectively popularizing content from a Ukrainian studio.

Regarding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the blogger commented on his Telegram channel:

.. why the f*ck, when I just decided to buy my favorite childhood game (I'm a long-time fan of the series, a Skif, so to speak), could I be sent to prison?? what kind of nonsense is this, I was always out of politics and I didn't give a damn at all what was happening, who was doing what, or where!!! I deliberately don't read the news so there's no bad vibe!!! and now, just because I didn't read this f*cking news, I can end up in prison for wanting to play my favorite game!!!

Accusations of "Reputation Laundering" for GSC

When Russian channels began receiving copyright strikes for content related to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., many blamed GSC. However, deadp47 conducted his own investigation and stated that the strikes were actually being sent by a Russian hacker named Daniil Nexus to discredit the studio and fuel conflict.

Following this, the blogger was accused of "reputation laundering" for the Ukrainian studio. He was called "GSC's defense attorney" and accused of doing PR for them.

Crimean Bridge Meme

In October 2022, following Ukrainian strikes on the Crimean Bridge, the blogger posted a meme that drew sharp backlash as a "mockery of victims." The post was later deleted.

Later, deadp47 explained that it was an ironic reference to an old internet meme (using a frame of PewDiePie on a bridge), rather than an attempt to mock tragedy. He also admitted that at the time of posting he was unaware of casualties and that the post looked "inappropriate and distasteful."

Advertising Alabuga

In 2024, Rodin promoted "Alabuga Polytech" College, which since 2023 has been involved in the production of military kamikaze drones. The facility has been included on EU and US sanctions lists for manufacturing weapons used in the war against Ukraine and represents part of the Russian military-industrial complex. The advertisement was later removed, and the blogger stated that he had not known about the drone production:

In short, regarding Alabuga, IDK. They pitched me the ad, said it was fine, others have regularly advertised them for years, so I took it. Then I saw they manufacture drones and saw photos of the dormitory after a drone strike, and decided my subscribers' safety comes first. Cut the ad, returned the money

In April 2026, following the mass bans of streamers for advertising "Alabuga", Deadp welcomed the justice and his timely withdrawal from cooperating with the "college."

Conflict with Topaz Against the Backdrop of War Crimes

In December 2025, he posted a message condemning blogger Babay for doing a joint livestream with war criminal "Topaz". Topaz is a radical who recounted on air committing war crimes against Ukrainians (specifically, gouging out eyes):

I knew about the stream with Topaz and gave zero f*cks, thinking «well, things happen,» but when I saw the context for the first time — it honestly made me want to puke. I only posted one clip, but overall it's pretty difficult to listen to. And Bebey was laughing along with him over stories about murders and «gouging out eyes», collecting donations for him, and driving an audience to him. It's hard for me to stomach that. Honestly, any normal person from either side would find that hard to stomach. This is no longer a matter of jokes or post-irony — it's simply sickening, f*ck. Utterly deranged sh*t beyond good and evil.

Statements About Metro 2039

Ahead of the release of the iconic game Metro 2039 by Ukrainian developer 4A Games, Ded began mocking the pro-war "Z-audience." 4A Games officially confirmed that there would be no Russian voice acting in the game. Furthermore, the game's script was co-written with Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, who openly condemns Russian aggression and lives outside Russia.

F*ck, looks like the release of the new Metro will be a powder keg for the Russian internet due to its political agenda and the creator's anti-government stance. I mean, assuming the internet in Russia isn't completely shut off by then. Though maybe that's for the best, so they don't have to see this disgusting «Russophobia.

deadp47 consistently avoids taking a clear political stance, preferring to distance himself from the war and describe himself as "out of politics." At the same time, his actions and remarks periodically trigger controversy — ranging from controversial memes and ad integrations to "anti-Russian" statements and friendships with openly anti-war bloggers.
