Well, if this arc has proven anything, it's that DSP hasn't changed a single bit. For years he has tried to create this image of being "that positive, changed guy" who hates talking about drama and who has stopped trying to attract hate and being abrasive, but this King stuff has actually shown how extremely toxic and hateful he still is and has been all this time. And the best part: it's purely because he's receiving money for it in exchange.
In the longer term, I can see at least of part of his unironic long-time fans getting off this toxic ride, because they fell for the fake positivity these past years, and this current "felting" arc is what they're getting in return. Now his streams are him talking about drama and shitting on everyone and anything with a massively inflated ego at least 75% of the spends streaming.
He now kind of is a prisoner of a self-made prison, because what will happen if he drops the "felting" meme, and goes back to just being a bad-at-games hermit who says dumb things?
I already saw someone in chat complaining, who has been supporting DSP financially:

@johnkimble123's post until now, but the example above doesn't seem like the only one.

Can't verify if the 2nd example is a sock account or anything because I can't find the specific account on Youtube, but the FelixtheMaid account seems legit (account from 2015, filled with autistic anime content).
There was, however, an interesting reaction to Luthais' statement:

Again, grain of salt, since I can't find the actual account on Youtube to check if it's a sock/troll/ironic "fan".
