These days EVS is allied with the Juju the cow collective in their joint war on Eric July. Because of the alliance with Juju, that means EVS is expected to carry water for Nick.
EVS has also sort of admitted failure on the culture warrior and comic book front. These days, he is trying to re-brand himself as an internet drama farmer. Thus he is also doing these hot takes on Nick for attention and clicks.
The real tragedy is Rackets didn't get to introduce his fellow big nose American to the powder.
