February 2025 vs. August 2025🥹
Suffocate City means a lot to me. It's my own personal anthem for college. So, not only getting to hear it live during my first year of college, but I heard it live AGAIN before I started my second year of college meant a lot to me❤️🩹
Me when I tell the guy who lost his son to cancer he’s the only one who can stop me from puppeteering said son for money and also he’s gonna stop me from giving to charity also one of his friends is delusional and said it was chill so like obviously I can do all of it back off
RE: Technoblade being roleplayed by a YouTuber.
This is horrifying, and I do not see it ending well.
“I only answer to him” is an incredibly unfair position to put Technodad in. He is grieving, and any answer he gives carries major consequences.
If he says yes, it could encourage thousands of others to do the same, creating even more pressure to accept this as normal. If he says no, he is forced to publicly confront someone using his dead son’s identity. He should never have been put in that position.
And a future “rebrand” for the YouTuber would not fix this. If you build an audience by roleplaying a dead creator, then change your name once the backlash becomes too much, you still used that person’s identity, fame, and fanbase to grow your own platform. From the outside, it looks like an attempt to become a pseudo-replacement for the real Technoblade.
I knew Alex before he had an audience. He helped us during the early days of Hypixel, spent time talking with our team, and was simply a good human being. He was the only creator we ever held a ceremony for when giving out YouTube rank. I also made videos with him, something I rarely did over the past 15 years.
The week I learned that Technoblade passed away was also the week my first son was born. I remember holding my newborn and thinking about Alex (Technoblade), and telling my son that one of my friends had just died. That is how personal and painful this is for me.
So yes, I am upset and angry. Watching someone roleplay as our dead friend while showing so little regard for his family, friends, and legacy is deeply disturbing. The leaked chats make it even worse. I have seen more than has already been shared.
To me, this does not look like a tribute. It looks like exploitation. I can only imagine how the people closest to Alex are feeling right now.
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.

BANANA FISH is coming to Netflix in the US on August 12 with exclusive English and French dubs!
Dub voice cast:
• Ash Lynx: Brandon McInnis (English), Sébastien Baulain (French)
• Eiji Okumura: Jonathan Tanigaki (English), Grégory Laisné (French)
No amount of money donated will ever get you away from taking the work of someone who poured their soul into it and just start pretending to be him without any sort of thought towards his family. Reanimation of a corpse except it’s some dude who clearly does not actually care
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
THEY GOT FUCKING DAVE GROHL THE DRUMMER FOR NIRVANA AND VOCALIST FOR FOO FIGHTERS ON THE BIG SCREEN FOR THE GREEN YURI ANNOUNCEMENT IM LOSING MY MINDDDD LMAOOO
