All the "Nick is gay" stuff is pretty flimsy tbh. Like it's "oh he answered this question about traps kinda weirdly 3 years ago" and connecting other weird shit. Vaush's video is probably the best put together "expose" video, but it was more of a meme-y joke video "dabbing" on Fuentes.
This new stuff is VERY flimsy in my eyes. It's a, what, third hand account of what Nick said in a DM? With no leaked DM? I'd imagine if that DM existed that it would've been leaked by now with all the media attention Nick has gotten. People want clout and attention, and exposing Nick (someone who has made somewhat homophobic comments in the past) as a fag with 100% legit proof would get a lot of attention.
As for now, I'm going to go with Nick is straight. HOWEVER, all I will say is that I won't really be surprised if he WAS 100% exposed as gay. Like he got caught having sex with a femboy or something. I do kinda get that vibe. I just don't think the evidence is really THAT strong, and I don't think it's fair to assume that stuff.
Also who is this Shawn character? I've never heard of him till now.
