Trisha monetizes her own “insanity” and most of it has been fake/trolling anyway. Remember when she supposedly had DID? How about when she was a trans man? Anyone remember her channel where she trolled being a devout Catholic? Or when she convinced the internet that she really believed dogs don’t have brains... there was also her trolling as a hardcore Republican during the second Obama election and I’m pretty sure she pretended to like Trump during his first run just because she knew her audience would get hella triggered. The list goes on and on and on...She's batshit, obviously, and is lying about and misrepresenting things. But hidden underneath all that is a point.
Ethan brought up her sexual assault in front of her mother, but apologised for it. My impression is the apology was to smooth things over so he could keep milking the lol/cashcow. He's frequently been dismissive of her and insulted her, while wrapped up in a package of walking on eggshells.
Don't get me wrong, you'd obviously have to walk on eggshells around Trisha. She's insane. But Ethan isn't insane, and he deliberately chose to manipulate her. He knew what he was doing. They're both bad people, but I feel like Ethan is worse in a way because he's not doing his shit because of a schizo/bpd meltdown, but because he wants to manipulate Trisha to get money and views while fronting like a good person. He's basically a hypocritical A-log.
Now I guess everyone is supposed to believe this diagnosis of BPD. We’re all supposed to believe that she’s telling the truth about being schizophrenic this time. Now, of all the time she’s been on YouTube, she’s finally telling the truth about everything. Now we should be upset about the exploitation of mental illness, off all the times it’s happened. Not buying that shit for a second.
Is Trisha crazy? Yeah. But not in the way that everyone thinks she is. She doesn’t have any of the things she claims, at least I don’t believe it based on her past behaviors. I think she has some kind of antisocial personality disorder, like a sociopath. She has manipulated absolutely every person she’s ever met and more importantly, she’s done it successfully. She acts normal when it’s beneficial and she also acts crazy for the same reasons. Everything she does is calculated and planned out because she knows what makes money.
Yeah, to some extent, Ethan was taking advantage of that, but not in the “poor Trisha” way that some people are framing it. They collaborated over her crazy, Trisha didn’t go into the podcast blindly thinking that Ethan had good intentions any more than Ethan went into it thinking that he was going to have a 100% sane cohost.
Trisha isn’t a victim of anyone but herself. If anyone has taken advantage of her being “mentally ill”, it’s been her... for over a decade straight. Someone else jumping in with everyone on the internet knowing her history and making money off of the image she built for HERSELF is just being business savvy. Not only did he make a shit ton of money for himself, he made her even more than she could have made on her own. She has promotion links in almost every Frienemies description and they talked about the shit she had going on at the beginning of the show. Plus she was making like half of the Adsense and would have gotten the same amount of merch revenue.
