And there it is. Vordrak is a sperg just like Josh, but even he's done better in life than he has. And why does he even give a shit about "muh teen girls being harassed" when he's buds with Lamarcus?
If I could get tangential, it was Josh's behavior in regards to Vordrak and Zoom that made me start questioning things.
•Josh has taken a hardline stance towards not speculating who is swatting or DDoSing, so why does he insist up and down that Vordrak was calling in bomb threats? Why are we supposed to care about Vordrak messing with a forum of teenagers and why is it the very first line of attack he goes for when discussing someone he'd have you think is the Devil incarnate? Surely his crimes are so bad that'd Evanescence would be a footnote instead of the lede.
•Josh had a Discord call with Zoom in 2019, after he'd stopped adminning 16chan and the Zoom thread had already been up for ~ 6 months. So why didn't Josh bring up the infamous stream a single time? Why was he still defending lolicon as a human right when he now says that he changed his mind while still admin of 16chan?
•What about these two people makes Josh change long established patterns of behavior? Why does his version of events surrounding those two hinge on the viewer having complete and total faith in him and never looking too closely behind the curtain?
Because they've been his most effective trolls, he's so desperate to get back at them by any means necessary and he wants to use his trusting audience as a personal army. Josh is a delusional shut-in who has repeated this shit so many times that he's probably fully convinced by what he's saying but I know manipulation when I see it.
Ultimately I don't care if Vordrak or Zoom are actually guilty of what Josh claims because I still resent being manipulated. The truth doesn't fear investigation, it doesn't rely on blind faith, it doesn't waver in it's presentation.
But Josh's version of events around key moments certainly does.
And I don't mean to ride in on a moral high horse. I'm not a great person, I was still quite enthusiastic in my support of Josh despite knowing this stuff. But the Lamarcus shit was enough for me to decide he's indefensible, as is anyone still refusing to get the picture.
I felt a certain sense of pride in being able to say "lol yeah but we haven't actually killed anyone". The same could be said of SaSu but you have to do some Talmudic redefining of reality to get there and you'd still be wrong.
Apparently Josh would sleep perfectly well at night if a Kiwi killed themselves as a result of allowing Lamarcus to advertise and advocate there, and for that he can go fuck himself.
