The same thing that made Dylan Mulvaney do it. CLOUT
Before Dylan even got big he'd yearn for attention through celebrities and ex-porn stars.
That's why I wouldn't be surprised he'd troon out like Dylan. The dude already was on OnlyFans with Orlin. He'll definitely troon out for Keffal like gooners.
Nick doesn't do things hoping people will fall for it in earnest, he won't "troon out"
i still think it's a retarded term that doesn't work in regard to individuals outside of Something Awful but I guess the modern web just thinks it's a more 'offensive' version of Tranny or something because he knows nobody will fall for it, and if they do, that's worse, they'll just believe he's being earnest and the humor will stop- if he DOES pretend to be a transsexual, he will pick something weird and unlikely like "sloth-gender" and wear a really shitty dollar store clown wig and demand people use pasta-pastaroni-pastaself pronouns for him or some shit
It's the same way he could've done the whole "fat acceptance" thing if he wanted to, he could've pretend to be a true and honest delicate fatty and try and milk actual sympathy, but he knows those are a dime a dozen, so he went for the bombastic super obviously fake act to farm rage instad
Here too, he won't just stuff a bra and say "I'm Cathy now", he'll do something that attempts to be full blown crazy, people will immediately see through as being fake, it'll fly for maybe 3 days at most like all of his other tricks, and fizzle out
Because he already blew his load with the fat thing, he can't do much more shocking than that short of getting a fucking unicorn horn installed on his forehead
