Dude, his writing style is fucking obnoxious. I was reading
this event regarding an ex-volunteer, and that plus the shit regarding that girl who was being severely bullied really brought out how little he's grown over the years. Not only does he misuse words, and is generally a prose-y writer in an attempt to sound intelligent, people familiar with psychological manipulation techniques can see
right through that shit.
The way he interacts with the volunteer artist for Fun-chan is infuriating. He's this spoiled brat, and acts like a child who wants something NOW, so he tries to play it off like "ohhh, I love your art the most BUT I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR IT? HMMM I REALLY WOULD LIKE IT NOW- OH LOOK! SUDDENLY OTHER VOLUNTEERS CONVENIENTLY CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS PROJECT, I HAVE A TOUGH CHOICE, BUT I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO IT BECAUSE I LIKE IT BUT I WANT IT NOW." It's so fucking transparent he's being a prick and trying to guilt them to get free art from a person who actually makes money from their work. His writing is so passive-aggressive it's infuriating.
Then when the artist posted the concepts because they didn't receive credit when he put them in his shitbox, he came to her saying "ohhh I won't DEMAND you remove the concept, but it's takes away sooooo much allure of the character when you just post the concepts, guilt guilt guilt." And when the artist contacted him(twice mind you), he had the audacity to claim that wasn't him being passive-aggressive on tumblr, that it was an IMPOSTER, and "did mean people sway your judgment because I'd like to explain myself, I'm a nice person etc. etc." Instead of just writing brief replies for such a "busy developer", he HAS to pad out his writing with manipulative bullshit to try and get people to do what he wants.
He has a Martyr/Victim Complex like I've never seen. When that whole shitstorm happened with the girl being harassed, he NEVER owned up, he constantly twisted everything to make himself seem like people pointing out him being a pretentious asshole were portraying him as a literal monster. Everyone saying meanie poopy things were trying to ruin his life, and he hates when anyone else was getting more sympathy pats than him. Acting like people talking shit is literally life destroying is hilarious, and his claims of "2017Dev is brooding, and doesn't care, and haha justice!" is the
natural descent from people saying mean things is asinine. Celebrities deal with more shit than he does, and as far as we know, they handle it OK, and manage to not be total assholes.
Everyone has flaws. We all know it - it's uncomfortable for some, but it's normal knowledge. He's not a monster like he exaggerates in order to get asspats. He's just a prick who hates when people point that out instead of actually taking the time to improve upon it. His parents must have spoiled and neglected him simultaneously in order to make this concoction of narcissism and approval seeking. Things which can be improved to better yourself. And he could take steps to improve that, but he prefers to do jack shit and reeees when people say anything bad about him instead of looking in the mirror.
