YouTuber H.Bomberguy raised hundreds of thousands for trans charity Mermaids by streaming a Nintendo classic. On 18 January, YouTuber H.Bomberguy began streaming Donkey Kong 64 on Twitch, with the aim of fully completing the game while raising money for UK trans organisation Mermaids. H.Bomberguy, whose real name is Harry Brewis, was motivated to undertake the challenge after a recent campaign against Mermaids that was spearheaded by television writer Graham Linehan. The campaign, which has since been deleted, had called for UK National Lottery funding to the tune of £500,000 to be recalled from Mermaids. The organisation had been labelled an “aggressive group” and the National Lottery chose to undertake a review of the grant in December 2018.
