I don't believe Sam is some kind of evil groomer or whatever. that said, he definitely has one of those auras where something is a little Off. for a while there, before his fucking MMA makeover and shit, when MDE was still obscure and struggling, he was giving off powerful depressed loner vibes, the kind of Bad Place where people end up doing something gross like sending dick pics to a 16 year old online. it wouldn't surprise me if he has some dirt under his carpets, but I also don't really care, not because I think that behavior is acceptable or whatever, but because it's just not part of my interaction with his output. it's not like he's trying to maintain an image of being some kind of moral paragon or leader of any kind of ideological movement. he's always been a weird, cringy, spergy spaz with questionable hygiene and sanity. he's a lunatic painting fascinating schizo murals on the walls of the internet with his own shit. I sincerely doubt I could be friends with Sam Hyde in any fucking universe, but I still think he's cool.
