I understand the whole point is this Dad guy is primarily a victim in all this but his patheticness is reaching the point my pity is turning to irrational anger.
He is 44, still renting in LA, desperate for pocket change, will do anything for anyone, both desperately wants to be seen as humble while simultaneously saying he is what makes every event, from the documentary, to the first two creator clashes to the game grumps tours.
This interview really makes me think his wholesome humility thing is even more just a put on than I already thought, there’s so many signs there is a massive ego just barely under the surface he is desperate to hide because it would make his general failure look even worse. The last 30 mins of the interview feels like him desperately trying appear “real” and “humble” because he realised how much of his taint he showed. In that final half hour uninterrupted cope rant he even whines multiple times about being bullied in hs (imagine whining about hs at 44, if anything sounds like he didn’t get bullied enough) and how he is told he has to stand up for himself more, which is TOTALLY the only reason he spent half the convo taking credit for every event he has ever been in. It’s more likely the opposite and the Dad character is why we don’t see his ego even more.
Idk none of this excuses what CC did to him, but his fakeness on display kinda explains how he got in bed with these people to start.
