Most of us here have already seen it, but it does make me wonder how many dream stans have seen it. To anyone who's not a face blind retard, there's a striking similarity between that photo and the 2016 photo. However, I've seen dream stans who thought that the interview from a few days ago was actually dream in a mask despite the fact that it was obviously CGI.
No they do not, in fact, they often encourage or force you to. "You have to have a good and obvious presence online so potential employers can find you and see who you are" is a big one. They/we are/were actually taught that keeping your name off the god damn internet is going to hurt you in life and make you seem like you are trying to hide something dark about yourself, (like a kiwifarms account for instance). Many projects will force you to publish your information online, especially if you do any of the various fairs. If it wasn't for the fact that I decided loosing 10% off my grade was totally aceeptable for my final project, my 7th grade assignment to publish a website would have all of my contact information in it. Fortunately, I could not have cared less and there is a link that takes you to the NSA's website and an Email that directs to James Rolfe on my page in the box where where my classmates self doxxes are.
I think a fair number of stans have seen the image of him as a child. They probably don't see a connection between him as a child and him in 2016 cause "there's no way dream would ever lie to his audience".
In the short term, you might be correct, but long term I think that would destroy him. Not just because he's fat, but because the aura of mystery about his identity gets him quite a few viewers.
Plays Minecraft.
We sure got your troon dox right though, you'll never be a real woman.
Now that you mention it, this is a genuinely missed opportunity. In that interview he did with Anthony Paradilla or whatever the mask reflected his emotions and that is pretty much all he'd need to get off the ground with that. Then his anonymity would also make more sense or at least that's how I see it.
Zoomer moment.
I looked and a good 75% of the comments just said "shat". Judging by how it's spamming and related to Dream, maybe it's stans trying to drown out criticism. They kinda did the same thing on Hugbox's video with that "This is how dangerous parasocial relationships form" copypasta.
Actually, nope. Originally people were spamming “shart” [meaning shitty art]. But then Dream banned the word supposedly so they switched to “shat”
Maybe I'm just out of the mainstream but it seems like people like him who blow up overnight for seemingly no reason are industry plants at worst and astroturfed to make Youtube look good at best.
Unlike Dream, VTubers (specifically those under an agency such as Hololive or Nijisanji) are controlled by managers who have a final say on what they can do. Politics and religion are haram and all of these VTubers had passed background checks to ensure they will not sperg while livestreaming. Most of them are actually cute and normal Japanese girls with talents. To compare them with Clayton is blasphemy, as all Clayton could do is play Minecraft.
Is that the same gf who said he was like 400 pounds? I would hate him too
Clay can’t even play Minecraft, he needs to use cheats
