Idk
I'm pretty much completely unwilling to forgive him for the way that affected me materially, meaning I legitimately had people comparing me directly to him because of his ambiguity and flippancy with joking about things that I torture myself over, like getting bottom surgery.
He hasn't done anything positive for me, and I can only say that he possibly helped the community by being visible, but I would be lying to you if I said I really believed that. He can do better, and I hope this is the start of him trying, because as it stands I've only been hurt by the things he's produced.
Good to see you again, Cromalin. Sorry that it's always me with the depressing takes.
I mean I feel like it's a little more than disappointing since for years I was asked by people why I could just "be like him" and asked "oh, are you a trap like finnster?" He's genuinely fostered so much fetishization of my identity and existence that I cannot and will not forgive him until he shows the community support for once in his career, and in a consistent way. He's built a career on sexualizing downplaying transness to a decision you just make one day, and the "I decided not to get the surgy today guys" meme is genuinely unforgivable, considering that it wasn't even a one-off. I've tried watching his streams, but the chat is so toxic that I get blinded by the Hitler particles. That's not a mistake. He fostered a toxic community for profit. If I bring up these issues, I get replies that tell me I'm being "too woke" or that is should just not be offended, oftentimes alluding to the idea that I'm an illegitimate woman. Maybe it's changed since the announcement, but I fucking doubt it.
I'm so fucking tired of being told I should sell sex or do live streaming, and I think it's pretty fucking evident where they get the second idea from.
