If he were an actual pedo he would use the exact same excuses. [...] We're charitable to Vaush from watching him for so long, so of course we're willing to believe when he explains the situation.
Jesus Christ can you imagine writing this and not realizing anything? This is some cult shit, and a cult led by a pedophile probably won't end well.
I honestly don't get the dedication to the guy. If you like his content, whatever, but I struggle to think of a single current interweb celebrity I like enough that'd I'd go THIS HARD to bat for, this includes people who put way more effort and craft into their work than fucking Vaush. The dude just streams himself pontificating for hours, and you're this dedicated to him? Wtf is wrong with you?
At least other parasocial relationships are with people who make shit that's GOOD. I kind of get viewing like, a funny group of podcasters are make-believe bros after listening to 200 episodes. This is just one guy who thinks Cyprus is part of Greece babbling for hours. Worst fake friendship ever.
Seriously I kind of understand parasocial relationships if they're with people who are like, funny or smart or something. This just seems like the gamblers fallacy except instead of playing blackjack it's for spending time with an annoying pedo bore.
I didn’t see that one but I feel like that has to be transplants from the fediverse. I remember in 2022 or so he came up and most people were dunking on him. Idk he’s one of those people I notice people cyclic getting softer on during election years so who knows
I don't want to sully your pure mind-palace if you don't already know about NJR, go forth in the world unburdened by the knowledge of yet another chauvinist cracker
Hot take: obsessing over e-celebs is marginally better than obsessing over celebs because at least there's a slim chance the e-celeb will actually acknowledge your shitty chat spam.
Real celebs have to walk about and go shopping which means you can stalk and harass the shitty ones. Whereas e-celebs don’t have to reveal their face or location which makes it harder when they’re real motherfuckers like destiny
"It sure looks, sounds and seems like this guy is 100% a pedo but I've watched his YouTube videos of him arguing with other assholes for a long time so, actually, no."
