Whether or not you agree with the trend, I don’t think doxing some kid is OK because not only would Technoblade not like that but I doubt his father would either
i don’t think technolarp is comparable to michael jackson or elvis impersonators because those people, while maybe using the likeness, aren’t actively also profiting from making songs in the style of the artists then naming themselves similar to exploit the audience.
“you guys were okay with technolarp at first” probably because of new stuff coming out? like technodad never actually giving him full consent, technolarp not giving a fuck about the situation (or at least not taking it seriously), and techno’s friends not being okay with it?
I dont care anymore im just going to say it, skeppy is weird for being perfectly fine with the technolarp situation. its clear he's either using this to cope or for views especially because from the looks of this it seems he has plans to continue making content with technolarp
oh this technolarp shit just made me so MAD, its SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT FANTASY LIVE ACTION ROLEPLAY
NOT SOMEONES DEAD SON AND AMAZING PERSON WHO MANY LOVED. MYSELF INCLUDED
Oh im so fuckin MAD, this larp shit needs to GO.
I feel like what rubs me the wrong way about this is that he’s doubling down in the face of pushback.
If Technolarp was only doing this out of love and respect, at the first sight of people (especially Techno’s friends) calling it weird and disrespectful they would stop.
i didn't know technoblade personally, but i know his family meant a lot to him and seeing this technolarp ass wipe put his family through this grief again would make him hate you on that alone.
& NO FREE CLOUT !! THAT WAS LITERALLY HIS WHOLE THING !!! fake ass fans everywhere !!
hey so forming your entire persona around impersonating someone who died of cancer is incredibly lame, and donating half the revenue does not absolve you of that
Technolarp has publicly admitted that he never received permission. Technodad says he has been contacted several times, has avoided answering because he does not know how to react, wants some peace, and remains “inconclusive.”
Inconclusive is not consent.
Continuing anyway reverses the ethical burden. It forces a bereaved father to either bless an ongoing imitation of his son or become the person who shuts down a channel after roughly 190,000 fans have attached themselves to it. That is a consent trap created by building the audience first and asking for approval later.
A fan poll cannot authorize the use of Alex’s identity. Fans do not own his voice, persona, branding or relationships. A future promise to give 50% to charity may benefit a good cause, but charity changes where some money goes. It does not create permission.
The channel has already gained substantial private value from imitating Alex, even with AdSense disabled. Technolarp’s older channel has roughly 2,600 subscribers. The impersonation channel reached about 190,000 in five weeks. That does not prove malicious intent, but it plainly shows where the momentum came from.
This is also different from fan art or a one-off impression. It is an ongoing first-person performance, marketed with language such as “He’s back in spirit,” that copies Alex’s voice, mannerisms, Minecraft appearance and video concepts while interacting with people who knew him.
He may sincerely believe he is paying tribute. Sincerity does not supply consent. The responsible move is to pause, stop placing this decision on Technodad, and either obtain explicit written approval with clear limits or transition the channel toward his own identity.
Do not harass him. But stop pretending that charity makes the consent problem disappear.
A tribute remembers someone. It should not turn that person into somebody else’s growth strategy.
