Nyk's histrionics was really on display in that last video. In all of his videos, but it's just becoming absurdly blatant and beyond plausible deniability. Is Nyk twutroon? I doubt it and I think it has more to do with a some pretty extreme histrionic traits:
- Individuals like this are uncomfortable or feel unappreciated when they are not the center of attention. Often lively and dramatic, they tend to draw attention to themselves and may initially charm new acquaintances by their enthusiasm, apparent openness, or flirtatiousness. These qualities wear thin, however, as these individuals continually demand to be the center of attention. They commandeer the role of "the life of the party." If they are not the center of attention, they may do something dramatic (e.g., make up stories, create a scene) to draw the focus of attention to themselves.
It's only just started to annoy some of his fanbase, but his videos have less and less content in exchange for utter shamelessness. Since he uses self-deprecation as a foil, it gets written off as woke-self awareness (the leftist Millennial brand) but he's sincerely begging for attention.
- The appearance and behavior of individuals with these traits are often inappropriately sexually provocative or seductive. This behavior is directed not only toward persons in whom the individual has a sexual or romantic interest, but occurs in a wide variety of social, occupational, and professional relationships beyond what is appropriate for the social context. Emotional expression may be shallow and rapidly shifting. Strong opinions are expressed with dramatic flair, but underlying reasons are usually vague and diffuse, without supporting facts and details. Individuals with this disorder are characterized by self-dramatization, theatricality, and an exaggerated expression of emotion.
I don't think I need to defend the sexually provocative thing. But it's also that he talks a lot to say very little. Endless performative valley-girlisms and Drag Race taglines.He is extremely dramatic (even though his Lexus plastic surgery face now betrays that). He makes a big deal about facts, but doesn't really present much reasoning that isn't pseudo-introspective navel gazing (which is now 99% about being trans).
- Individuals consistently use physical appearance to draw attention to themselves. They are overly concerned with impressing others by their appearance and expend an excessive amount of time, energy, and money on clothes and grooming. They may "fish for compliments" regarding appearance and be easily and excessively upset by a critical comment about how they look or by a photograph that they regard as unflattering.
The amount of time and design that goes into his production values, not only on his videos but how he's carefully presenting himself in them has increased, and towards an unsettling parody of hyperfemininity. He uses extreme lighting and makeup and aesthetics to best present himself as what I'm assuming is a Donatella Versace impersonator, making sure even that in the background/costumes you always feel that he's wants you to believe that he is authentically living his best life on fainting couches like he wants to wear Katharine Hepburn's corpse like a skinsuit. He used to try to come off as more of an eccentric philosopher-intellectual but that was just as insincere. It's just another rhinestoned-encrusted version of the same thing. He's like that old Sprite ad. Image is everything.
- Their opinions and feelings are easily influenced by others and by current fads. They may be overly trusting, especially of strong authority figures whom they see as magically solving their problems. They have a tendency to play hunches and to adopt convictions quickly.
He's already alienating his fans by asserting opinions that veer closer to red/blackpill than they'd like, as well as transmedicalist and not being an ardent communist and I'm wondering if he's making a new identity shift or will kowtow back to the transcult. But I think this is why Nyk believes he is trans, and also now spends all his time talking about being trans. He's trusted other trans people that his crossdressing made him twue twans, which is why he's abandoned any pretense of genderfuck or androgyny in exchange for grotesque parody of femininity. Also the trans as fad thing, which allowed him to rise to the top of Youtube and make a lot of coin doing so. I do think he believes it sincerely, or has at least dug his head in the sand about it. I mean, he's a sad man craving attention and suddenly are making tons of money just prattling on about himself and being as dramatic as possible, and people are suddenly calling him a goddess and giving him all the attention that he so dearly craves. Maybe because he's getting what he wants out of it, he feels like it must be true.
There are some other known traits like excessive public displays of emotion that can be turned on and off at will and considering relationships more intimate than they actually are which I can't speak to since I don't follow his social interactions that much.
