The one thing I don't get is why admit Sam gets under your skin like this?
The same reason he was dumb enough to think starting shit with Sam with his "documentary" and booting him from CC1 in the first place wasn't a terrible idea.
I wasn't sure of how much Ian believed his own bul
lshit with his self-flagellating 180-degree turn he'd taken on his content and views. Part of me thought there was a very good degree of just pure-clout chasing fakery combined with a bit of simping thrown in there to seal the deal. But the fact that he feels the need to triple-down in the most unnecessary way like this seals it for me. This dumb motherfucker
actually thinks people are gonna take his side.
He hates Sam because he's everything that he isn't. Sam didn't sell out and clean up his act to fit an advertiser/woke friendly image, and he
ate shit for it. Guy managed to fight his way, all the way to a real-deal network TV show and was willing to give it up and be blacklisted, branded an alt-right Nazi. Ian did the exact opposite and sold himself and his own fanbase out to the LA hellmouth. And Sam is
winning.
If you've ever wanted a whitepill, this is it:
On one hand you have Creator Clash: A boxing event that's all about not having any actual hostility. Run by an absolutely pathetic cuck who's entire career at this point is a public apology tour for saying nigger on the Internet, and his OnlyFans whore wife (and there's nothing wrong with being a whore, but you're a bad person if you acknowledge her career in any way). You've got people like Ethan Klein, Amouranth, and Critikal involved in this. If they got Mr. Beast, Hasan and some big Minecraft YouTubers to show up to this, it would be a literal perfect encapsulation of everything shit about modern, safe and liberal e-celeb driven mainstream Internet entertainment.
One the other hand, you have the guys who brought you such classics as "Peanut Arbuckle" and "Jews Rock" back, livestreaming on YouTube, reaching a bigger audience and making bank. Sam's running a show that's got a house full of autists being tormented from everything to paid-for TTS messages, a homeless black guy, a retard blasting Bible-passages through a karaoke machine, Goldstriker himself just showing up and smashing shit, and God knows what else. It's basically the exact kind of thing you'd see online if we had 2020s tech in 2005.
Guess who people unequivocally like more.
Ian's a nobody in the grand scheme of things, but I think this would've played out differently 5 years ago in terms of public perception.
We may very well be witnessing the first domino to fall, right in our own little corner of the Internet.
