His comment about Cynthia in her saying he could be the next Joe Rogan. I found that oddly hilarious.
She does have a peculiar willingness to want to get involved in the real lives of the people she comes across online, doesn't she? The business with wanting to lend Elissa the money to buy Faran's channel was hugely peculiar to me. It was a pretty significant sum of money, as I recall.
So I can see Nick freaking out when he realizes that he's surrounded by the online equivalents of Kathy Bates in Misery. It wasn't clear to me quite how obsessive and deranged she was until she started posting over here -- perhaps because we were just reading the highlights and not having to wade through the totality of her madness.
Edit: I just watched a couple of those 'Clip this bitch' videos. I watched the 'What went wrong with locals' and 'Josh Moon convo'. It's apparent to me that the man is falling apart. For all his repeated insistance that he doesn't read Kiwifarms and people can think what they like, he really seems to have been shattered by the recognition that his audience doesn't like him any more.
One of the things I think is interesting is his repeated insistence that 'if people no longer enjoy his content, they can just shut the fuck up about it and move on. Find something else to watch.'
Because Nick's the only one who gets to have an opinion about things. He shares *his* opinion, it's just jokes. He calls Monty a paedophile, he's just a content creator making edgy and humorous content.
When we point to the hard evidence of Nick's swinging, soliciting lewds in Locals, hanging out at the gay bar and acting like a complete cuck in general, that's not 'content creation'. That's not 'jokes'. That's people trying to actively harm him. That's people trying to destroy his career.
The man has no capacity for insight or self-reflection at all. Also, the Monty business must be really killing him now. He thought the whole thing would be done and dusted by this point. But it isn't. It's already cost him a fortune. Costs are still mounting and the he's killed the goose that lays the golden eggs.
He's fucked.
