I can see how one idiot can pick on a kid without realizing. But don't any of vades friends call him out on this crap?
No, they wouldn't dare. Because calling them out would result on the rest of their friends turning on them. Friends who call Vade out don't stay friends with them.
Vade's friends don't actually like them, really. They fear them, and the control they wield. Vade is manipulative and conniving as fuck, and will play people against each other to suit their purposes.
I was friendly with one artist that got sucked into Vade's cult, and when I warned her to stay away from them, I was faced with complete denial, pleas that "he's seriously a nice guy, he's just aggressive at times!", and an insistence that if I just talked to them, I'd understand and wouldn't feel this way... and that I was being a big meanie because Vade was an otherkin. Shortly after that, I was blocked.
What drove me up the wall was that not a few months earlier Vade had singled out and attacked this artist for her version of maskless Pyro being a white, cisgender dude, because her version had gotten popular, and that people who made white cisgender male Pyros were boring and trash.
This argument was actually the catalyst of Vade getting known in the fandom and getting ahold of some clout, and they ended up running people out of the fandom over disagreeing with this.
It was fucking ridiculous.
