"I should have sold Vito out a long time ago."
Something about this phrase doesn't sit right with me. Dax wouldn't normally describe himself as a sellout. Is it all a 'werk'? Is it a Freudian slip, because he really is just selling out his former LGBTQPedo ally, now that it's convenient? Or is it really Marie's push to expunge Vito, hoping that her babydaddy will magically become less degenerate?
I guess I think it's #2, he accidentally referred to this as selling out his pedobuddy, saying the quiet part out loud.
It never sat right to me how Vito latched onto Dick's universe. I do remember Vito's introduction, he had (supposedly) bought and vaped Belle Delphine's bathwater that she was selling at the time, and a lot of when the first Vito the Pedo stuff started coming out, the people he was friends with, many people, myself included, thought this was some sort of trolling op, or Vito was just a poor judge of character.
I stopped listening to The Dick Show several years ago but I still listened to WATP, in which Karl befriended Vito and Dick, and around September 2024 Karl said something like "I think Vito might be a lolcow" because Vito and Riley got in some beef when Vito was sperging about something or another. I thought being friends with Vito reflected poorly on Karl (and especially Vinnie, who had the whole "pedo hunters" obsession on The Creep Off, which I have since dropped), but Karl has had a tendency to come around on some of the bigger losers in that universe, distancing himself from people like Digibro, Elisa Jordana, and Ethan Ralph.
As for Marie's influence, I had a crazy theory that it was Sean that was the bad influence (after all, he
was the one that exposed Dax to drinking, if not drugs) that despite his calm, collected demeanor that he was the worst one of them of all, and now that he's gone, Dax is finally coming around.
I was thinking about it and I wonder if this is mostly a tactical move for Dick. That Asmongold guy brought up both him and Null when talking about payment processors. He then considered talking to them both which would be a pretty big promo for Dick. Problem is that as it stands Null and Dick aren't on good terms and Dick Masterson, cool guy that he is, doesn't want to get called "Juju the Cow" in front of a massive audience that could potentially watch his show. So what does he do? Throws Vito under the bus in the hopes that the slobbermutt will be appeased.
Thing about that is Null didn't burn that bridge because of Vito, he did because of Riley and Digibro, who is also a pedophile. If you squint your eyes a little bit you can see how he's trying to sweep some things under the rug. If you haven't followed the whole thing you'd miss it, very subtle.
That's an interesting theory but assumes two things that I'm not sure are true or not.
- It assumes he's still on good terms with Digibro, when I don't think that's the case anymore...when was the last time "Trixie" was even on the show?
- It assumes that Dick remembers the reason for the split but Null does not. Who is more
likely to remember the real reason? A drug-addled alcoholic, or a paranoid ex-pat who archives everything?
