>>62221500Yeah! That's what I'm saying! It's very much like him to go pretty far for lore and it is a pretty mean thing to do. But that's the thing! It's hard to get mad at him because he did say he's an evil demon. And the part of him realizing that his deception (lore wise) was wrong of him and he doesn't deserve forgiveness for hurting people also lines up with it too. Maybe it's copium, but I just refuse to believe he kept up the lewd stuff and creativity for almost two years just to suddenly say "oh actually I didn't like it", ESPECIALLY when he's been blatantly open with other things that made him uncomfortable like the Vottom thing and the Voxanne voice begging. He knew the ASMR thing would kill us the most. I've seen his membership streams so I know how he is with noticing buildup, details, and director's decisions to convey a certain feeling with the audience. So it's not at all unlike him to do the exact same thing. He can be passive aggressive to Kindred too and I noticed him being especially irked by people's lack of media literacy. Some people get the things he does, some don't (there were some people thinking Jiro was still alive lmao). So it's just like him to make reflections of himself and his actions in the content he makes (a big yet simple example being his love for BDSM being a theme in some of his lewd ASMRs like the professor one, tattoo ASMR, etc.). That's why I believe it was all part of just lore. It lines up too perfectly for it not to be.
Also thank you hehe I love thinking about theories and lore and stuff. I'm such a huge film nerd just like my oshi. I have a lot more theories and lore speculations but I'll type them up later. I'll think about renewing my membership sometime.
