His comment history is literally just arguing with people online, multiple comments per day for years.
Dude we fly V-22s over Tokyo. There are no cities that ban V-22 overflights.
The V-22 is one of the safest rotorcraft we have.

If you actually look at aircraft destroyed rate in Air Force service for example the HH-60 comes in at 1.88 per 100K hours and the CV-22 is lower at 1.7
Deployed to Japan
Most people involved in a V-22 crash walk away from it.
Oh no no no

Except you just made that up. Only two V-22 crashes have killed more than 5 people. The H-60 crash two weeks ago killed 5 people, the 60 crash in April killed 10, and the 60 crash in March killed 9.:

If you hear that again, you can tell them that the V-22 is actually less susceptible to VRS than a legacy helo. The higher speed downwash makes it so you need an even higher rate of descent at low speed to get into VRS in the first place. It's also easier to exit once in the conditions::
