Un Tío Blanco Hetero

Biography

Candanedo started his YouTube career in early 2018. Before that, he had worked as a bald consultant before moving to Canada, where he studied for two years before returning to Spain.

His first video, which addressed the consequences of the Me Too movement, was uploaded to YouTube on 2 February 2018. He introduced then his characteristic visual style, in which he monologues to the camera while wearing a white lycra mask (nicknamed by himself his "human condom" and based on Batman's attire), As he explained later, he chose this appearance not only to hide his identity and stand out, but also to divest himself of his individuality and to represent ironically the "white heterosexual" collective in the gender perspective's own terms.

In May 2019, UTBH became mediatic after his participation in the Free Market Road Show in Castellón was subjected to an escrache. The incident's authorship fell on feminist association Subversives, which had previously called to boycott the act on the saying it was "fascist and misogynist," and whose members had to be driven outside by the National Police Corps. Some days later, the YouTuber uploaded a video about the incident to deflect the accusations.

The same month, Candanedo released his first book, Prohibir la manzana y encontrar la serpiente, written along with fellow YouTuber Leyre Khyal.

In September 2020, Candanedo started working as a weekly columnist in online newspaper Vozpópuli.

In June 2023, a Spanish court dismissed his defamation suit against a feminist activist and ordered him to pay court costs.
