Halfway through, Wendigoon does the modern sin of forgetting how bad the cold war was that makes the CIA shenanigans justified at the time. Well, except the shenanigans involving doing experiments on their countrymen.
I just finished the story, and I think the rape/not rape subplot was sloppily done because they had Not Scott go in super hard with the weird misogynist stuff and making weird comments about Christine early on. When he kidnapped her and chained her up, it makes little sense as to why he is nice to her when he was cruel to Not Christine as he was still in the corrupted world. Either go all in on evil Scott or tone him down a bit more.
That's something that deserves its own video, imo, I think if they went off too much onto Cold War era of American history I think it would weaken it.
So you're saying Goon has the makings of an insecure balding, commie faggot who has to pay people to get anyone to agree with him?
Lolbert not commie
No "so"s needed, if you want clarification, just ask. I'm saying I've seen harder crash outs and upsets in my life to a point where I can't rule any possibility out.
I've been thinking about this over the last couple of days since as I mentioned that was my biggest problem as well. I don't know how quickly all the parts came out. If they were written all at once and released immediately/over a few days and just formatted to fit within Reddit's post limits then it's just dumb writing, but I think he might have gotten some negative feedback or just chickened out thinking that'd make Not-Scott too hard to redeem. Personally I think murdering a child is worse than rape but they're both pretty bad and the murder was at least arguably necessary, if selfish, whereas it's basically impossible to justify rape
Given that all we really know about the two is that the man is an accountant and the woman was a recluse that has a trust, my interpretation is that the man was her accountant who was over at her home to deal with her trust and finances when they got possessed by two entities that wanted to play house. The entities started roleplaying as husband and wife, got bored, then switched it up mother and son while really amping up the weird. Once the entities' "dollhouse" was destroyed they were free of their influence.
That's more in line with my theory.
I'm like that with Wendi. He's on a downward trend with videos I actually care about over the last couple of years, but he'll still throw out some bangers or at least something I can watch in the background. He doesn't seem like a bad dud and I enjoy his content, but if it comes out he's insane like so many other internet personalities then it's just "Well darn."
I don't really worry about Wendi going insane, in fact a little insanity would do him some good because he lost some of that eccentric Sunday School teacher energy from his older videos.
As far as I can tell it's just that he's not leftist and that he's massively successful. That's literally it.
The way someone reacts to troons is a good measure for their personality.
Wendi goons his videos hitlerly.
I agree, but man I just want some nice separation between fun content for a good time and political/culture-war/identity shit because that’s how it’s used to be. We used to have the fun content creators and the political content creators, but then they all started to mix together and things got less enjoyable overall on the Internet because of it.
I blame the internet. Especially twitter, gave too many a "voice" and far too many of them thinking their voice fucking matters.
