Man, I’ve been following this drama since Kevin’s huge meltdown on Facebook years ago. I’ve known Kevin for probably over 10 years now but we were really only close for maybe 1-2. We hung out irl a couple times and played games online together for a while.
Since it seems like Kevin is becoming a cow himself I thought maybe I could vent about what he was like before this whole Lori thing.
He honestly never seemed like a bad guy. He had a ton of passion for skating and eventually cosplay and it was awesome watching him pour himself into those hobbies. Dude had ambition. He was nerdy and weeby.. and yeah, definitely awkward. Looking back, he seemed really desperate for a girlfriend or female attention. This is all totally normal behavior for a 16-17 year old or whatever we were so it’s a huge bummer to see he hasn’t really grown out of it. Or at least he seemed to be ~normal~ until Lori came along and his mental state regressed to being a dipshit teenager again. Now he’s obsessed with e-fame and is super vapid and empty, just like she is.
Hooking up with Lori has pretty much destroyed this kid and any potential he had. When he got into cosplay it really seemed like he was going somewhere and making a name for himself, and then she came along. Words cannot explain how sad it is watching him try to convince himself he’s making a good decision and that he hasn’t wasted the last few years being her lapdog. Like, I don’t want to excuse Kevin because he is kind of an idiot, but Lori has brainwashed the fuck out of him. It’s just sad.
I personally think he’s just terrified of admitting to himself and his friends/family that he’s made a giant mistake and also terrified of being alone/starting over. Lori fits his girlfriend preferences perfectly (appearance wise) so I think he’s convinced he can’t do better.
but anyways yeah tldr Kevin has always been awkward and nerdy and kind of retarded but he was a perfectly capable and talented/passionate young man before he got involved with Lori and he’s been spiraling down ever since. Sad to watch as an old friend but it does make for good entertainment I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also I see a lot of people thinking Lori types some of his replies/statuses because of the way he talks with weeby emotes and poor grammar and stuff (reminiscent of early 2000s era forums) but that’s honestly just how he talks lol. He’s always been very xD ^_^ in text. I do think she probably manipulates him into sperging out over stuff but I don’t think she uses his account to post.
I might be able to answer some questions about him but we were really only close during our teenage years so idk if my information would be relevant. I wish I could talk about some of his old spergouts without outing my identity.
