I get the feeling that since he's refused to DFE by now and is
still contacting his old conquests, he literally can't stop doing it. It actually wouldn't surprise me if there's one or two he's successfully charmed or intimidated into silence. He's still trying to salvage and keep his old flames with the hope of it all dying down, when the only smart move here is to DFE, disappear, and rebrand himself as a vtuber under an anonymous new name. (He'd still get caught in the end though, because once he got fans he'd be unable to keep it in his pants)
Mark keeps all his scandals very quiet, and they die fast. I assume this is why despite him being so big he's got no thread (or it's very inactive). What happened with Cyndago and why they stopped doing videos with him only came out much later through, I believe, Cyndago themselves which he confirmed. When Yamimash crashed and burned with his pedo thing or whatever that was, Mark just silently dropped him and hasn't made a statement on it to this day. (Thus, I suspect there's some suppressed drama that happened between him and Mattias, because they were constantly in each other's videos for the better part of a year and now never mention each other) Whatever else you say about him, Mark's smart enough to know how to avoid fanning the flames with online scandals. He's had like 5 mini scandals and 2 cancel attempts (both times because he wore makeup or a dress and made fun of how ridiculous he, himself, looked) and most people who follow him don't even know it.
We've never seen Katie admit that she was going to whore up, but the language Ryan uses is really weird. She drops a partial conversation with them where he's trying to insist on giving her money and she's refusing because "I don't want charity".
Look Ryan - "I'm offended you'd rather have sex with a stranger [for money] than just take your own money back from me." Katie - "It's your money now." Ryan - "Okay then, I'll just buy a massage off of you and it'll be your money." Katie - "I'm bad at that." Ryan - "Yeah but at least you're not selling your body."
And then the discord message Ryan doesn't appear to be greeting her, he's just saying "Katie....I don't know if I can trust you (blah blah)" the way he writes that is different from how he approaches others, and isn't structured like you would structure a greeting. It's written like he's sighing in frustration and responding to something. He's also consistent in saying he thought she was going to prostitute herself, and she tellingly
does not deny it. She also says that she got into contact with Ryan by consistently sending him money every single stream.
I
guarantee you that what we're missing in this conversation is Katie crying to Ryan about how she's broke and she has no prospects but needs money, and she's thinking about maybe just 'going and screwing a guy for money, because I'm not good at anything else and can't get a job'. Ryan reacts to the guilt/attention seeking by saying "Well have the money back that you gave to me" and then she refuses, because she doesn't actually want her problem fixed, she just wants attention. Yes, Ryan goes into creepy territory by going 'lol have sex with me for money', but the fact that he won't get off the subject of 'don't have sex with a stranger for money' tells me she said she was going to do that, meaning she actually brought up the subject first. A woman who was
actually desperate enough to whore herself out for money would not refuse charity 'because I hate charity', and could be convinced to take that money, especially if it were framed as 'doing something in exchange for it' or 'just refunding your money'. Katie didn't want that, she wanted attention from her self-professed dad figure, and only when he threatened to take away what she
actually wanted (his attention) did she take the money that she
very very obviously kept saying to him she needed.
What I keep saying is that Katie isn't in any way a victim, she's just an attention whoring leech who jumped on the train because she has something vaguely connected to the accusations - but even she knows she has to creatively cut out parts of the conversations to make her look good. This has no impact on Ryan being a predator, only that Katie is an attention whore, and if she were the only accuser the Farms would be unanimously mocking her for it, as well they should.
