Since creating his YouTube channel in August 2013, Roman Atwood\u2019s videos have been popular with fans of all ages. He launched a self-named podcast in April 2022 alongside his wife Brittany, with the most recent episode on May 31 sparking backlash. Roman and his wife are under fire for a clip of them making what many have called \u201ctransphobic\u201d comments, which went viral on Twitter. Roman Atwood criticized for \u201ctransphobic\u201d comments In the clip, Roman and his wife were talking about the ongoing controversy with Bud Light using trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna use a female, why not use a female that was born a female, that\u2019s capable of birthing children and raising them,\u201d Roman said. \u201cBud Light would thrive if they did that. What\u2019s the agenda? Why? If I was a woman, I would be pissed.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve seen people comparing the transgender women to like, doing blackface. It\u2019s literally making fun of women.\u201d Users quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the video, with one user saying they find it \u201cextremely hurtful.\u201d \u201cHappy Pride everyone. This man seriously with a straight face said what he said. F**k Roman Atwood,\u201d one replied. \u201cThis is so hurtful to watch. As a long-time fan of Roman who promotes acceptance and positivity, this rubbed me so wrong I am so disappointed in you guys,\u201d a second person replied. A third user commented: \u201cshocked about Roman Atwood wtf. so comfortably and publicly being homophobic and transphobic?? and during pride month on top of that?\u201d Neither Roman nor his wife Brittany have responded to the backlash since it began to go viral, but we\u2019ll update this article if they do. In April, Dylan Mulvaney made a return to TikTok, and addressed some of the controversy that had spiralled out from the Bud Light campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roman Atwood under fire for \u201ctransphobic\u201d comments during podcast YouTube: RomanAtwoodPodcastYouTuber Roman Atwood is under fire for comments he made about transgenderism during the May 31 episode of his podcast with wife Brittany Atwood.
