Comment: If "making tech destruction content" means "destroying phones and game devices", say so; if it means something else, then what? Hoary (talk) 03:57, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

YouTube career
Liang makes videos in the tech destruction niche of YouTube, like TechRax. These videos include destroying various home electronics in his videos.[5][better source needed][6][better source needed]
After Liang made videos destroying both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 for his "Bored Smashing" series,[7][better source needed] a Facebook post which took a frame of King's video out of context went viral.[8][9] Both consoles are considered durable,[10][better source needed][11] but were ultimately annihilated via gimmicks such as using a mini-fridge[12] and a router[13] as projectiles due to their visual similarities with the respective consoles. He had later received backlash due to the perceived "waste of money".[14][better source needed]
On the early hours of the 5th of June, 2025, Liang was presumably banned[15][16] from Nintendo San Francisco after he destroyed a Nintendo Switch 2 in front of patrons waiting in line for one.[17][better source needed] He did so by slamming the console onto the pavement[18][19][5][better source needed] followed by using a hammer.[6][better source needed] After store employees watched, Liang was informed that he'd have to leave.[20][better source needed] As a result of the antic, Liang received backlash, particularly from Japanese nationalists[21] who mistook him for an anti-Japan[22] protestor.[23] This resulted in "copycat incidents" throughout the Chinese speaking world.[24] Liang had previously destroyed multiple Switches and Switch Lites.[25][better source needed]
Liang also makes vlogs on his second channel, including having been to an AirPods meet up where he reiterated his preference for Apple devices.[26][better source needed]
Personal life
Liang was born on 4 February 1999 in Yakima, Washington[27][independent source needed][28] to Cantonese-speaking Southern sea immigrants.[citation needed] His family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona where he resided. By late 2022, he bought a house in Las Vegas, Nevada.[29]
Liang is a registered Republican, having endorsed Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign.[P 3] Liang has been banned from Bluesky since 2024 as a result of posting Republican-aligned media.[30] During the attacks toward Tesla vehicles throughout 2025, Liang, an owner of a Tesla car himself, went to local media to announce his disapproval.[31]
I just hope they get to the bottom of it and I hope the max penalty goes to the people who did this... Enjoy jail, enjoy it,
Notes
- Normally, his surname would be pronounced [ljɑŋ˧˥]. However, he pronounces his surname using a more Cantonese pronunciation,[P 1]: 02:04 despite said surname being transliterated in accordance to Pinyin, which is used for Mandarin. He consistently seems to use a rising tone and a level tone for his first and last name despite speaking English in his content.
