In a new interview, Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard opens up about Michael’s reaction to an Eminem diss and addresses the [FALSE] narrative that Jackson bought Eminem’s music catalog.
Criticism of co-streaming often comes from people and organizations that failed to build a community despite having all the necessary resources and opportunities. The primary concern should be ensuring that co-streaming supports, rather than harms, Riot’s ability to market the product. There are plenty of other great teams and organizations in Europe that collaborate wonderfully with content creators and build strong communities. Maybe it’s time to stop complaining and start doing something. Spending investor money without creating anything isn’t responsible.
So,
- Sykkuno was living with his girlfriend (who he struggled to actually break up with, even though the relationship was already dead)
- He didn’t initially tell people who were highly interested in him and actively seeking him out
- A ton of people wanted to sleep with him… and apparently wanted to move in after like two days of talking
- He cheated on said girlfriend (who, from what Sykkuno himself said in the voice call, was basically a girlfriend in name only—we’ll probably learn more as this unfolds)
- The accuser still wanted a relationship with him afterward but got cut out of his life
- And then came the very coordinated effort to turn it into a full hit piece against him
So… Sykkuno is a cheater and a player. He flirted with and got with consenting adults, but he was living with his kinda-sorta girlfriend and didn’t disclose it—which is nasty
He’s an asshole, but calling him “dangerous” or a “predator” is straight-up defamatory. That word is heavily associated with pedophiles in everyone’s minds and feels like an intentional buzzword to sensationalize this and do maximum damage, rather than an actually honest take from the heart
What seems to me should be the takeaway: the VTuber space needs to chill on being horny 24/7. We gotta stop ripping our clothes off within days for people we barely know… Streamers in general need to be more professional, and be way more skeptical of other content creators in general. When money and fame are involved, people (women included) are willing to accept or even participate in some wildly sketchy shit because it’s beneficial
I’ve seen so much diabolical shit from women and men in this space over the past 5 years—all in the name of pride, greed, lust, envy, etc. It’s not even funny
Tons of streamers do predatory shit. Some of it gets condemned, but the vast majority gets accepted, rewarded, and fiercely defended
Also, big streamers almost NEVER lift up smaller ones—so when a massive creator comes at you, bells should be ringing immediately
The VTuber space is an incredibly predatory place. Entire careers are built on inherently predatory dynamics for money and clout
The problem here is that he cheated on a girlfriend he didn’t have the balls to break up with, and wasn’t completely honest with girls who were seriously interested in him about his situation. Motive seemed lustful in nature—which is something we see everywhere, ESPECIALLY in the VTuber scene, from a lot of women as well. Seems he wasn’t coming from a space of romantic interest. It was just lust from everyone all around
He’s an asshole and a player—not a pedophile, not a rapist. He’s an ass and wrong for what he did, but he doesn’t seem to be the only one in the wrong. His girlfriend is the clear victim here, however
TONS of streamers (women and men) are nasty and predatory. It should ALL be taken seriously, but it never ever is and likely never will be
The one thing this whole drama with sykkuno proved was that people like Mujin has become patently untrustworthy.
You cannot have a hour+long video ready to go as soon as the Google doc was published without some back channel coordination. Of course cheating is wrong, but they are making it sound like he is some kind of actual predator who causes dangerous physical harm against women.
No.
Simply, he is just a player who likes to keep multiple women around. Please do not dilute the definition of predator and dangerous, just because you wanna maximize rage bait.
Players like him are a dime a dozen and painting him as some kind dangerous person who preys on smaller CCs I just lazy lazy framing.
By that logic women who monkey branch and cheat are also dangerous predators...
No. They are simply cheaters, nothing more.
But I think that this year was also the most mentally draining one in years. I have mentally blocked myself once again and unblocked the moment I told my parents that I am dropping out of Uni. From that moment I was just a mess that fixed a bit every day. Still quite a mess tho
This year was full of painful memories and struggles that ended up being what made me grow a bit more than any year before. Finally becoming independent from my parents and exploring the life from a perspective of an adult. Met a lot of people. A lot of humbling experiences.
