Some people have more sympathy for Kayla because they believe Nick is worse.
Is that flawed logic? Yes.
i wouldn't say that it is flawed logic.
most of what little we 'know' about kayla is second hand information from nick or aaron, or just speculation.
meanwhile with nick we have a fuckton of reliable information, straight from his own streams.
for example we know for fact that nick is good friends with drexel, he finds the guy funny and keeps defending him even in the face of the grooming story.
but do we know anything at all about what kayla thinks of drexel? not that i know of, people speculate but there's no hard evidence.
we also know for fact nick is a degenerate pervert, he talked openly about stuff like the balldo on numerous occasions, in public.
but do we actually know kaylas thoughts about the balldo? no, all we have is nick claiming that "she enjoyed it" which is second hand information at best and a lie at worst.
it's like this with almost everything bad about this situation: we know for fact that nick enthusiastically supports the bad shit, while kaylas position on it all is mostly unknown and can only be inferred based on hearsay, circumstantial evidence, and speculation.
