That's too bad.
Nick's going to flip at Andrew big-dogging him like that though.
This strategy also doesn't work with Nick either. He starts by being passive aggressive and ramps up the aggression slowly until you can't ignore it anymore.
Agreed. However, Andrew posted his response on 11/14/2023, and Nick's divulging of what Nick perceives as embarrassing information about Andrew was on Thanksgiving evening (IIRC). So I'm wondering if Nick saw or heard about Andrew's Locals on 11/14/2023, and his retelling of the story as Andrew's wingman during the Anime Matsuri convention was his response. Andrew has likely seen Elissa's clip or was told about it through someone in his community. So now the question is will he stay quiet. I think he will probably go the path of Sean (Potentially Criminal) and make jabs where he can, but otherwise will not come out overtly swinging.
Personally, I would be horrified and enraged if someone I considered a friend shared anecdotes regarding my sexual interactions with strangers. It was so clearly an attempt to humiliate Andrew. With that being said, I think it's very possible this friendship, or whatever you would call a predominantly online friendship, is done. I find most all of what Rekieta says gross, ultra negative or stupid these days, but the sharing of this anecdote added another layer of despicable. Not because the information was damning - I don't give a shit about who these creators are banging. What made it so despicable was the fact that Nick was actively trying to humiliate Andrew - someone who had white knighted for him in the past and someone he had on his show many times and purported to be a friend. Friends don't air one another's laundry. It wasn't for Nick to tell. In the end, it just made Nick look like an even bigger asshole (again). I hate how Nick throws a bomb in a room and then runs away. What a pussy move and a show that his inability to act like a fucking adult and ignore dumb adversity or commentary is damn near nonexistent, if at all.
I believe that bad family and friends co-sign on your bullshit, and good family and friends call your ass out. Nick doesn't seem to understand that people providing him with even an ounce of input regarding his behavior (that seems to regularly insult his ego) isn't always given for the purpose for dabbing on him. But for whatever reason, he sees any critique as anti-Nick or disloyal. His psychology makes mine look normal.
Yeah, sure Nick - you don't burn bridges. You prefer explosives.
What about all that debt he's dodging? "man of his word" pays his debts. Not fleeing from SEA country to SEA country.
At least according to what was dug up about mindset not too long ago.
I was merely giving the TLDR of the Locals stream and his response. I was just sharing information I found from the mouth of one of the involved parties with the thread.
