I've ordered a few bottles from Gallivant in the past, and always found Nick to be super friendly and helpful. Nice guy.

I was a fan and familiar with his work. This changed when he was involved in a scandal a while back where he displayed a framed Charlie Hebdo image mocking the Islamic Prophet Muhammad during a live stream with a YouTuber. It was purposefully placed during frame for the entire stream. I have Muslim friends and felt this was in very poor taste. I also felt it odd considering the influence he draws from the Islamic world.

He’s not too friendly. He was involved in a scandal mocking Muslims a while back. Displaying pictures mocking their Prophet. Whilst I believe in free speech I don’t believe in freedom to insult.
