Steven Jason Williams (born July 24, 1974) also known by his online alias, Boogie2988 or just Boogie,[4] is a YouTube personality best known for his video rants about video games and nerd culture as a character named "Francis".[5][6] The Francis character is based on stereotypes of video game players and often parodies trending video game news, reaction and culture. Williams based the character on his early life experiences and has said that he wants viewers to hate the character for embodying gamer stereotypes.[7] Boogie2988 videos range from absurd rants to serious discussions on daily life,[8] such as the ethics of paid promotion on YouTube channels.[9][4] He won the Trending Gamer award at the The Game Awards 2016.[10]
