@justabinerd13@phovulation yeah its wild. from looking on YT it looks like kurtis has now deleted all of his content with dean, but i dont think he ever walked back what he said supporting him in general
@justabinerd13@phovulation he was a close friend and frequent channel guest, eventually some not great stuff about him was revealed (its been a hot minute so i could be misremembering but iirc it was prior blackface and mistreating his gf). when it was revealed he stopped showing up in kurtis's videos +
@justabinerd13@phovulation + but he wouldnt stop being friends with him, which kind of exposed to a lot of people that most of the stuff he preaches is entirely performative and not actually meaningful concepts to him
@justabinerd13@phovulation + but i think still toured with him and they remained just as close privately, which a lot of fans felt was weird considering how kurtis talks online about people who do that kind of stuff. eventually kurtis made a statement of some kind saying he didnt agree with what dean did +
@justabinerd13@phovulation he had all that stuff surrounding him silently supporting dean after his ousting and then when people thought it was weird he did the whole "i wont stop being friends with someone because of that" spiel and overall is very performative, but that was a few years ago +
@UchCfr522@lullabystarlust this movie sucks but i just watched it for the first time and that literally happens. they find a way for her to go back into cryosleep and she decides not to (stupid writing)
his wish also didnt include wanting nikki to be possessed by a new nikki or anything else that happens. his other actions are far more hard to defend but his wish was fine
i need to watch it again to catch more nuance but one part of obsession i simply wont concede on is people claiming Bears wish at the beginning was evil or bad. nothing before that in the movie gave any inclination that the willow was anything other than a novelty collectible.
