This is all sad. so sad. but his discord community was filled with spergs that got too attached to him. he really was a modern jim.
I think the best I could put it is, Jim and Rogue both tried to avoid leaking who they really were, but whereas Jim at least let some of who he is as a person leak out into the streams, laughing at stupid shit and just having fun, Rogue, as I stated in the Commentary Community thread, seemed to repeatedly reinforce to even his own fanbase that his personality on screen was completely fake, and that he was "playing a character". And judging by the drama discovered so far, in private chats and other situations where he'd let his mask off he was apparently rather unhinged.
This just makes me think on Jim's creed of no internet friends. Jim does his streams and shit and then does whatever in his own time. Rogue chose to surround himself with people that were either fans who worshipped him or associates that sucked up to him due to his cult of personality. A particularly interesting thing to me too was the larp.
iirc, Rogue and co, mostly from what I could tell Rogue, Asterik, Propainkey, and occasionally Mel I think would infrequently do bits where they describe things like working hours, acted like they worked in an office building, described different areas of the building, some of which were just made up nonexistent areas(as in sets/locations that haven't been made), and I think even occasional workplace incidents. And going by Karen, he demanded everyone have stills and sets. To finish off, his Discord server was actually organized as such, each host and inner circle member had their own special channel like "Liz's Armory", "Propaine's Tank", "Rogue's Bedroom", etc, and all of the subsections were organized by floors like "Floors 10-20".
A lot of effort was put into this organization and setup and coupling all of this with the seemingly real and corroborated by multiple people knowledge that Rogue was very controlling over when who could stream and other such stuff, it really feels like he wanted him and his inner group to be some kind of actual talk show studio with work hours, sets, a fictional but seemingly important office building location, etc. When from what I could tell he still had to maintain at least a part-time job, Asterik seemed to work part if not full time, and now finding out that Liz has supposedly been working a full time job as well.
You can only rely on streaming gig income so much, so if he really had this vision of them being a real studio that's honestly a little delusional. In line with that though, props on Pro, I didn't know he had a greenscreen or any of that stuff, so if he's going solo and planning to do his own thing I'll tune in to whatever that is.
