Why that teen shouted out Bill Clinton at 2022 Game Awards (Los Angeles Times)

The Game Awards came to an odd close Thursday night when a teenage boy crashed the stage and nominated former president Bill Clinton for an honor.

He claimed his Clinton reference “wasn’t intended to be a dog whistle for far-right conspiracies.” Instead, it came off as a convoluted way to “just praise Bill Clinton.” [Review: The Game Awards celebrate growth in video games, but the ceremony still needs to evolve](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-12-09/the-game-awards-recap) His image was a screenshot of developer Miyazaki making his way to the stage, with Even close behind. The YouTube personality explained that his message was about people being “as good as Bill Clinton,” and the prospects of living in a “good country where we all have the freedom.” [antisemitic](https://twitter.com/byletri/status/1601071308787224578), citing his Clinton comment and [Yeezy shoes](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-10-26/la-yeezy-resale). But he then rushed to catch up with the “Elden Ring” crew, blending in with developer Hidetaka Miyazaki. Clinton, who has been referenced in a handful of video games — including the “Political Machine” franchise — was president from 1993 to 2001. “If I didn’t think it would happen, I wouldn’t have bought a ticket,” Even told The Times. The Times spoke to Even on Friday about his Game Awards moment. He confirmed that the suspect was detained, but not arrested, for “theatrical exhibition.” California-based YouTuber Matan Even admitted on Friday that he was the ceremony’s crasher. Thank you, everybody,” he said, stealing the shine from the “Elden Ring” team, which However, the evening came to a baffling end when a teenager sneaked onstage to shout out a former president.

Meet the 15-year-old prankster who crashed the Game Awards (Polygon)

Thursday's broadcast of The Game Awards got crashed by a 15-year-old prankster named Matan Even. In a phone interview with Polygon, Even failed to justify ...

At some point in the past, Matan Even may have thought this too, when he was making YouTube videos about police brutality in Hong Kong – or perhaps he was always doing it for the clout, and the only reason he abandoned pro-Hong Kong activism in favor of this new bullshit is that he never really had any cause other than his own desire for attention. I asked Even whether he thought his words would have an impact on other people and their views, especially in light of the many anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that have circulated online, some of which involve Bill and Hillary Clinton. It was just a huge waste of time, and also, a statement that could lead to continued discrimination against Matan Even himself. But the difference is that I actually give a shit about saying something that matters – or at least something clever. And the fact that he was not even nominated, not won any of them – I was completely devastated.” But I think if we want to look at somebody who is very knowledgeable on politics, I think we should look at —” “And I think that, you know, we can look at him as somebody who should be running every government in the world.” The Los Angeles Police Department told Polygon that although a police report was taken, “there is no arrest related to this incident.” Even declined to comment on the specifics of his detention, admitting only to having been escorted offstage by security guards. This resulted in invitations to appear on the far-right, conspiracy-spreading broadcast InfoWars, hosted by Owen Shroyer, who [interviewed Even in 2019 and 2020](https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3pj5w/the-kid-who-crashed-the-game-awards-was-on-inforwars-when-he-was-12). When asked about his own political leanings, Even insisted that the only future candidate he would vote for is Bill Clinton, although Even is currently too young to register to vote and Clinton cannot run for president again, having already served two terms from 1992 to 2000. Or was it simply a wasted opportunity to tell millions of viewers something else that mattered – or even something that might be funny to anyone other than six of his friends on Discord? When reached by phone on Friday (and with his parents’ permission), Even refused to break character and dodged questions about everything from his political leanings to the circumstances of his removal from the Game Awards stage.
