No it isn't. This is routine for these kinds of people. It'd be refreshing if rich assholes stopped acting like the rules don't apply to them because they're rich and therefore better than you

I agree that 'rot in hell' in response to his initial twit is excessive but is it just video game? He as an 'influencer' who had many people look up to him and listen to his words spread the notion that if you have power, you shouldn't be punished. That's not video game. That's more than video game. That's an attitude that can be applied to anything in life, from politics to career to daily social interactions. That's why it's such a dangerous and foul thing to read and be thankful that they admitted wrong to saying that.
'Sorry I said what I actually thought.'
Maybe he's really sorry but his original statement is so blatantly self-centered and privileged that it makes me question his motivations even after his apology.
'On one hand you have a content creator with millions of followers. On the other is a piece of **** kid with zero followers.'
Like, I don't have to read deep to infer how he feels about little people.
So is he apologizing because he means it, despite the horrible thoughts he spewed, or is he apologizing because he's seeing blowback after this stupidity slipped from the dark slimy corners of his brain?

The jealousy is so embarrassing. Sounding like boomers raging on nfl players for having it easy.
Haha, I'm not a boomer but I've definitely pointed out to my parents before how I think NFL/NHL/whoever players get paid way too much for what they do.
You can be critical of something without being jealous, expand your mind a little bit. I have no desire to sit at home playing video games on camera all day, and I love my life, thanks very much.
Sorry forgot I can't have an opinion cause I'm not a coal miner
Your "opinion" was calling people jealous and boomers. C'mon man.
No it wasn't, it was saying the vitriol towards streamers on this forum is always ridiculous.
Later I called jealous people jealous. The links between boomers complaining about nfl players being rich for not having real jobs and posters here complaining about streamers being rich for not having real jobs are undeniable. If they make you uncomfortable I'm sorry. Peace, enjoy your "productive" outrage.
Ever think that maybe you're just jealous and can't understand how someone else couldn't be?
Agree.
Weirdest thing this morning was watching a content creator make this same argument all this morning...when his argument was the exact opposite yesterday.
Like, if someone recited his words to him uncredited, he would have called that person a moron.
Ok Mr. "soldiers defending our country are working hard. Anyone who says things I don't like, not so much!"
Holding those with substantial influence and in position of power to higher standard should be the most basic lesson in accountability. At least that's how it should be but celebrities & politicians neutered that basic truth.
That doesn't make any sense, I'm happy for him and hope everyone else in this thread achieves the same success.
Speaking of Ninja...I told ya'll those viewers weren't going to follow him like that.
Mans is getting like 5k-10k viewers, down from 50k-100k daily on Twitch.
At least he got the bag, but man that is an L and a half for his brand.

Of course it does, how does it not? And you can still be happy for someone and still be jealous lol.
Yeah, I don't think people realize how much those fuckers can shape the minds of a generation for the worse.
oh my. I guess you've never ever ever said something that you've later changed your mind on. Look at you Mr. Perfect.
what does one have to do with the other? he's good and successful at what he does, that doesnt mean its hard work...
sure, has to be jealousy if someone doesnt agree with you, right?
I've never said a single bad word about the guy, good for him that he is so successful. Its still not hard work....
i'm riffing on his statement. he said dumb shit then cries fake news when he later takes it back.
Edit: I was wrong

They're about a little less than halved. Shroud is similar when playing Tarkov at least.
They're not doing bad but their viewership is definitely lower just based on casual observation when I jump on mixer.
EDIT: meant to quote the poster above me lol.

Yeah fuck him and this apology if he thought about it 20 minutes after he said it it was already 20 minutes to late.
The things he said were informed by his value system. There's no reason to think that being admonished is going to completely change his world view in a couple of days. He's an elitist.
I know I shouldn't even bring attention to this because that's what they're looking for, but I'm in awe of this shitty take spreading to PC Gamer
