Imagine being like, mildly famous and wealthy.
Kind of at the point of your fantasy where you would start helping others because you're a "good person!" so you will buy your mom a house. She did everything for you after all. You do a couple of those things and then it's like.... you know what I'm going to take money from big oil.
like what the FUCK. You know?
Fuck that behavior. You're supposed to be better than those before you. Be better.
But what if I want to become a streamer and then have a questionable relationship with a teenager half my age (technically legal but still dodgy), while also promoting my own gambling site and energy drink? Oh, and a pay to win Minecraft server.
What if that's my actual goal. It's okay then right?
I think that's fine. Since when did streamers become paragons of virtue anyways? Back when I started watching someone like HotshotGG, they were always thought of as degens living in their mom's basement
Yeah, what could go wrong with propping up a bunch of literal cave people as role models for young people?
Perfectly fine.
