I want to elaborate on this because I’ve been thinking about it a bit.
Sam has cultivated a very particular image. He is a wignat very open about his views on Jews, gays, troons, etc. He’s said specifically to resist the corruption of modern Hollywood, avoid making degenerate or pozzed content and reach for some kind of ideal. You know, artist guy stuff. He wants to teach self-reliance and masculinity, encourage people to seek life offline.
But in Fishtank, arguably his most successful venture, he has created something that is the exact opposite of all of those things. There’s puking, gay black dudes masturbating, porn stars, multiple pedophiles, open paypigging, a community made up of exactly the kind of hyper online NEET that Sam apparently wants to rehabilitate, and I think it’s impossible that he doesn’t recognize that disconnect on some level. So every once in a while he has to go out of his way to show that he’s still the guy that made Jews Rock!, position himself as better than the freaks, and try to restore his image a little.
The best example of this is relentlessly bullying the S2 OnlyFans girl during Bitchtank. Poking her stomach, telling her no one wants to look at her. Even Ben seems nauseous. The fact is that his show is full of black faggots, promiscuous women, and chud NEETs, and it comes off as super disingenuous and sometimes even cruel when he acts like that’s not the case.
