Emvee doesn't seem like he had much of a social life which is probably what led him to find friends through Pokemon on Smogon.
Inside the fajita group Emvee was the most faraway person, hanging out only with Chimpact and Pokeaim, with some of them like Blunder even seemingly disliking him. He was not part of the strong core of aim/blunder/ctc/cbb or aim/blunder/jamvad. The only reason Pokeaim ended up collabing with Emvee so much is because pokemon is his only job, everyone else kinda grew out of pokemon and Emvee is the only one that's always available.
Pokeaim has some sort of a superiority complex over Emvee. During the group recordings, they all tend to gang up on Emvee and criticize every thing he does. They blame him for losing games even though they're doing it for fun, but nobody dares to say anything to blunder when he chokes. I don't remember what video it was but there was one time when Pokeaim was unusually aggressive to Emvee, shouting at him for the tiniest thing and shutting him down. After a point Emvee went silent during that recording. Even his fans in the comments were calling Pokeaim out and he tweeted later something like "we're friends and Emvee knows I'm saying this for fun".
There was also that tag-team draft tournament where again Pokeaim would criticize Emvee for everything and always shift the blame to him. But the biggest red flag is how salty Pokeaim gets whenever he loses to Emvee in a draft league. There was one in particular wyhen I think Emvee 6-0ed him and aim was fuming unnaturally. It wasn't simply that he lost badly. It was that he lost badly to Emvee as if Emvee is some inferior player to him whereas he didn't care that much that chimpact whooped his ass multiple times.
