Autistic screeching aside, as a long time lurker from the Vic era it seems like it is more than that. They seemed normal late Gen X to me who were into home schooling. It's still jarring to me everything post Depp. Just can't tell who is at fault
Maybe nobody.
There are those of us who believe he was always like this, to some extent, but hid it really well from most people. I myself was an early(ish) proponent of him being less than genuine in how he presented himself to people. That there was a disconnect between what he said, and what he did. Hardly the earliest though. I know people on the Farms who tagged him as a grifter, or otherwise less than honest, since practically day one. In either case, it wasn't considered widely acceptable to criticize Rekieta until late-2022. When his outward persona changed.
Because I believe as I do, I think it's a wild goose chase to try and find out exactly when he turned rotten. It could have very well been sometime much earlier in his life. Before he did his first video back in late 2017. You can really only pinpoint when he started to
appear rotten to the point where most people, including long-time fans, began to see it.
I mean, I somewhat agree with that those who say losing Vic appeal hit him particularly hard, but I think that shattered a mask more than changed who he always was at his core.
That's my opinion, anyways. I'm sure the argument that he was at one point a real actual genuine trad Christian family man on the Internet has it's share of proponents too.
If posting lewds and bottles of booze up your ass was fine and only offending the incel prudes, then why did he stop?
I think what he's lamenting is the fact the thots stopped posting their lewds. And
@Himedall All-seeing Waifu was the one who inadvertently (but quite effectively) stopped it.
Sure, he could ram another bottle up his ass, and post it to Locals, but I don't think that was the endgame. I think he did that to prime the pump. Which worked. For a while anyways. Not sure it would work again.
