The battle-cry for a block feature or banning was initially started by MrsEliePhant around January. She's a Mormon, former Navy, married to a Marine, multitude of autoimmune issues - hates leaving the house. I made fun of her one-note moronic takes on everything from parenting to God to politics. The fact that I compared being a military wife to a welfare mom was VERY confronting for poor Elie. Apparently she'd never considered that she's an entirely government supported family for a military that doesn't do much anymore.
Funny thing: her initial issue? The lewds (she hated them).
So, Elie got up in Nick's DMs on some pretense of being a journalist (she's done the same with Megan Fox). Elie's not a journalist, trust me.
I became her target vs the lewds. Why? New found friends! (She has none IRL) She got plenty of support. It was around Jan/Feb and I'd already gone to battle with ArtTheClown (a worthy opponent, tbh), ACompleteRandom, and MrStirFry. I'd compiled a file of all the rape threats in chat against me, Megan Fox, Faran, Elissa, some randos in chat who would quickly leave. That file still exists, and it's robust.
Dissenters were increasingly being bullied out. I was open about the fact I was screenshotting and they FREAKED.
Around Feb. Art got up into Nick's DMs to join Elie with the battle-cry for my banning. Meanwhile his wife (EgalitarianBtch - big lewd poster) got up into Kayla's DMS. They were open about this - in fact, Art and Egal rode on their "intimacy" with the Rekietas. Their chat cred was for posting lewds.
BORING, RIGHT? My point: This is all very personal with Nick. I'd love to say it's more intelligent or interesting. It's not.
Comes down to this: For Nick, it's easier to blame me than to put on a STRATEGY hat.
With or without me, Nick's fragile coalition of trad Christians, normie Republicans, alienated liberals, and simply smart people - were already leaving Locals. Why? Because it was being dominated by waitresses and hairdressers (not usually moms, actually, Sally just got a lot of air time) who were posting lewds, almost daily rape and torture threats, anarchist retardation (Cari), Biblical retardation (CrusaderJoe), and Xino & Cookie's ebonics flirtation that would last for hours.
Meanwhile, for those who had Nick on a pedestal, it was quickly burned to the ground when watching him ask for BasedFromMars to post more lewds with her pole - etc etc. Cue her whining for Xanax recently. Cool crowd.
ANYWAY, He seems to forget that his initial boost on Locals was due to his banning on YT and Twitter. Fans came in droves to support him... That was always gonna be temporary.
Y'all know the rest. I was banned. Monty lawsuit, spending spending, Drex grossness, GSG and Rendazza, Hydro banned.
Again, I have never touched the cow. Oh, I've thought about it. The reason I didn't? Because
@Himedall All-seeing Waifu and Elissa - unintentional heroes in this messy mess - were already documenting the disaster by the time March rolled around.
We all watched it in real time. His Locals chat numbers went from 100s to around 40 between Nov. 2022 and March. 2023. His regulars have scattered to Discord.
I mean, I'd love to take credit. But it was WAY more than me.
