the more time passes and the more I grow and mature as a young man the more I can actually articulate exactly why an internet celebrity targeting an indie game by "think of the children-ing" about comical violence on the level of the average looney tunes cartoon, subtle - likely unintentional- reinforcement of normalized ableism in society, and devolving into a tangent about how irreplaceable the nuclear family is (because the main character is implied to have a single mother) was so shitty. Then to go on and claim the game's fans were attacking him for pointing out that everything he said was a reflection of his own issues, even though his fans were the ones engaging in harassment.
#text post#negative#apparently this dude is in hot water recently for alledgedly stealing charity donations#people wanted my two cents on this because parasocial fans keep going on about how#'oh he's such a wonderful nice person he would never do such a thing' *gag*#and while I don't think he's the type to steal donos his weird issues could very well be a sign of familial trauma#and from what I've looked up the charity he founded was to find a cure for the condition a parent of his had specifically#so this is a more delicate issue that needs more tact than just parasocialism and hostility#seldom are real people black and white#he's not your ray of perfect sunshine but that doesn't mean he's a master manipulator either#as far as I know he just has shit taste in video games and is the internet gaming pop culture equivalent of a nepo baby#nothing about that would confirm or deny the capability of stealing from a charity#entirely different ball game#if I had to guess#there's been mismanaged funds because this is a guy who didn't know what the hell he was doing starting a charity on such a personal matter#and he ended up getting overwhelmed with stress trauma or grief#which brings back my point of him being an online gaming culture equivalent to a nepo baby#some rando who got famous for screaming about games won't necessarily know how to manage money even if he truly wants to use it for good#people who run nonprofit organizations generally will train for it you know? get like a business degree or some shit#if I suddenly became a billionaire I'd start a charity for lymphoma research and if I tried to do it all by myself I'd fuck it up so bad#not susen g pink court cases actively malicious bad but in a I'm 12 years old do I look like I know what a treasury is bad
