I feel like monetizing Youtube videos should also include the requirement of being at least 18 years old if that's not already on there. It'd definitely prevent a lot less Tommyinnits in the future from becoming celebrities at way too young of an age to handle it.
You have to be 18 otherwise it is going to need to be linked to your parent/guardian. He can still make money, but it will be going through the parent/guardian first. I do not think this rule would stop these situations from happening because he is okay with being an e-celeb, when there are children way younger than him that probably are not okay or cannot really understand what they are doing, are opening up toys because mommy and daddy want money.
The saddest part is that the chick who started all this is fat, ugly and looks like she would smell terribly, so it's not like he even threw his life away over a quality bit of skin, which would at least make the entire situation a little more understandable.
This whole thing feels like some strange kind of hit and run. It has taught me a few things though:
the pettiest thing i saw which is hillarious to me is youtooz had a carson figure ready to ship and they included it on receipts for a while, as a teaser
was that not the crying one? did they make a 3rd or 4th one?
im pretty sure it wasn't the crying one because one of my friends paid real actual money for that, (he now makes it face the wall lmao)
No one who matters has called him out so he'll keep doing it , that's how all these things work.
I mean, if I were him I would've dipped too. Probably the smartest thing he could've done tbh.
GiantWaffle was straight up recorded saying "she's drunk so she'll be easy" or something along those lines. He just stopped streaming for 50 days and returned to no hate or attention given. Actual king move.
The only issue with that approach for Carson is that his "friend" group very loudly and publicly cut ties with him. Even if he did return at least 50% of his content was his friend group, as he's the type of person who isn't really funny on his own but plays well off of other people. I don't think he could make it solo, his fans aren't as ravenous as someone like Dream and he's already been publicly shamed for being a "pedophile".
I'm pretty sure we've established in this thread how those messages Carson sent wasn't pedophilic.
I mean....he does look like a school shooter though.Here's a grain of activity on his Steam profile as he has updated it as of Valentine's Day, so of course Carson has not an hero'd. We'd most likely hear if that happened though. Making bipolar decisions like that feels like it could be a possibility. He has been talked off the edge of many things multiple times. I feel like he may not be trying to come back, but a proper response might take a while too.
This almost perfect radio silence since everything happened has been killing me. The sheer fact that nobody has actually checked up on him regardless of everything ever since the outing is very concerning. Him not even making a public initial response makes this so much more worse. Everyone has effectively left him in the public eye.
His troubled past with mental health makes this situation even worse as this thing is still technically ongoing. Aside from what his ex-friends have had to say, back when I followed him for a bit he used to talk a lot about himself on his alternative Twitch channel back before all this happened. Most of it was about being lonely with no friends in his school years and when he was enrolling college before full-time YouTube. Watch how he lashes out on a donation calling him a school shooter a few years back. I feel like the comment is not distant to him.
What he did seems like a buildup of possible neglect which I'm not going to get into (because it's honestly a reach, a theory and not relevant), all that mental strain over troubled past and the abrupt rise in fame resulting in being hungry for any kind of love and a sweetheart.
