GypsyCrusader

Still from a grainy video showing GypsyCrusader, real name Paul Miller, in his signature Joker costume. He is laughing. Over the footage are the words 'Never let em take ur smile'.

Paul Miller, better known by the moniker “Gypsy Crusader”, was an internet personality known for wearing Joker makeup and espousing extreme hate speech to unsuspecting users on Omegle. Miller was arrested in June of 2021 on firearms charges and sentenced to 41 months in prison. Paul Miller’s brand relied on offensive degradation to strangers on Omegle and extremist rhetoric presented alongside absurd satire. Miller would advocate for white supremacy and use props like bulletproof vests to scare subjects, some of whom were children. He would also personally bully subjects by belittling them, targeting them with hate speech, and sometimes telling them to kill themselves. His likeness and clips from his Omegle streams are often shared in far-right spaces that rely on irony to mask a political agenda. His videos also serve to desensitize audiences to an environment of extreme bullying.
