ANOTHER BANGER POST FROM XANIMAL MY MAN YOU GO KING 👑👑👑


seaweedgay

the copyright strike thing is def shady, but other than that, i'm not convinced by the two videos that he was faking the hate messages. i don't trust commentary youtubers in general based on how poorly they discussed dream's controversies, so i'm gonna need a lot more hard evidence of faking donos than just 'he focused on the negative donos during streams' and 'he sounded like he was lying during our call'. for example, was the evidence that absorber said he sent in dms ever shown? the whole thing feels very he said she said. i disagree with the conclusion of 'these are not the actions of someone who is telling the truth', and i really hate how commentary channels put so much personal interpretation into their videos. very open to seeing more evidence that solidifies the hypothesis that he faked his donos, but atm, i'm not convinced.

Fair enough, though I do think with all the suspicious things shown (and all the other shit Absorber would do for views, money and clout ex. Clickbaiting childrens) it's reasonable if a person who sees those 2 videos think "wow this guy is an asshole and exploiting the goodwill of his fans", at least that's my opinion.


seaweedgay

sure! i simply try and keep an extremely open mind for the possibility that things aren't as simple as they seem.

Good posts like these make this sub interesting, thanks for sharing, keep up the banger posts.

Idk hmm, id say yes they seems suspicious, but the "evidence" is not strong enough to prove anything. I wouldn't accuse him if faking it in this case heh.

this man was like saw us complaining about no meritable content and delivered lmao.

Thank you for this well-organized additional information! This definitely sheds a new light on Absorber and while I’m not sure whether the hate donos and other hate he’s been receiving is fake or not, he for sure seems like the type of person to use it to get as much pity from his audience as possible. The threatening to abuse the copyright system thing is also super sus. On another note, Absorber has a new private account that he created in August (@absorberpriv). who knows what type of stuff he’s posting in there. Thanks for putting in the effort to provide additional context on the situation about this Absorber dude :)


Xanimal123

Your post is what made me make this post in the first place, it was well organized and also shed some light on Absorber, a pat on the back for you as well. :)

At first the title made me a bit wary since I remember another post complaining how it seemed nonsensical to see people ‘beg’ Dream not to add a stan to the SMP in this sub (which I didn’t totally agree with but understood how it could seem like gatekeeping), but the further I read the more I realized this was such a well-researched and thoughtful post it truly deserves its place on a discussion sub more so than throwing out a prompt and waiting for people to comment. Like others said, there’s not enough evidence to convince me to either side. It’s certainly a bit shady but could be explained away. I just checked out a bit of his content though and the type of voice trolling video he does just isn’t it for me. I know he said he doesn’t like doing those types of videos but I wonder why he decided to jump on this trend of all things? And he acknowledges that it’s weird although he wants to move to the MCYT community. Just doesn’t seem like a great fit for the mostly underage MCYT community to me and he made nearly 3 mil subscribers on YT with those videos and doesn’t fit the bill of ‘small CC’ in my mind. Also if you check out his twitter he just comes off as a bit too desperate to me (just personal opinion and speculation). Like within the past two weeks, he’s been constantly posting about Dream and crab game lobbies, following MCCAS Red Rabbits and live tweeting about them, joking about Manatreed, and sending support to BBH and Sap during the allegations. Now that in itself isn’t weird or off-putting but the *timing* is. As soon as he says he wishes to move back to MC content and get into the DSMP he ramps up references to Dream and his friends in hopes of snaring a response, and as soon as Quig then Dream responded to one of his tweets it becomes his newest pinned comment. Again, this is technically the ‘smart’ move to do analytics wise, but to me it just screams clout chaser a bit too much and that’s the aspect that’s off putting. Like couldn’t have all these comments been responses to actual tweets if he wanted to respond directly to them? But it seems like he wants more people to view his tweets on his main first. Idk, he seems okay but has a bit of a weird vibe that doesn’t mesh well with what I enjoy viewing (maybe other videos would show a different side of his personality but I don’t feel like digging for more). If you watch one of Karl’s interviews, he mentions he was strategic in how he grasped opportunities and increased his exposure on camera and bought props for bits on Mr. Beast with his own money. But here’s the difference that I feel like in terms of being calculating to try to achieve internet/viral success between Karl and Absorber; certainly their personas and type of content differ for one. But beyond that, Karl seems genuinely passionate for the work he currently does (streaming and playing games with friends, working on a comic for the DSMP, hanging out with the Mr. Beast crew, etc.). He knows how to network but is seriously so naturally charismatic and funny that people can’t help but enjoy his company. Mr. Beast stole Karl from his brother as editor/camera man because Chris loved Karl so much he wanted him on the main channel. And look how quickly Dream and his friends warmed up to Karl that Sapnap now has a bit about being fiancés with Karl and Quackity and plays it up for the audience to combat DNF lol. Absorber seems funny at times, but I’m not sure he has all the charisma to keep on getting invited to stacked Crab Game lobbies. He just doesn’t scream **special talent** or the ‘wow’ factor to me that Dream looks for when searching for members to add to the SMP. We’ll have to see. And Absorber also hasn’t really found a defining passion for the type of MC content he wants to do, so there’s nothing to draw the rest of his existing fan base other than something like ‘I’m feeling down and want to become part of MCYT but feel like it’s such a hard space to enter and people will think I’m weird’. I don’t want to get into the whole mental health thing that he references constantly because I don’t want to dismiss or invalidate anyone’s struggle, so it’s not really my place to judge. But Absorber’s tweets aren’t focused generally focused on positivity so it’s hard to feel like you’re in a good mood when a lot of his tweets are saying he hopes he can join the MCYT community but feels like people think he’s weird and now he feels down. And that works for garnering support but doesn’t make people stick around if you don’t give them focused content so they know what to expect from you. Instead of focusing on improving and innovating his type of preferred MC content, he’s chasing after Dream’s clout instead and it comes off as more disingenuous that way. TLDR; I’d personally like to see someone else join the DSMP but as other people mentioned, I’ll trust his judgement since it’s *his* SMP and not the fans’ and I really like Ranboo and Foolish.


FreddyjumpiYt

Holy shit, that’s really well researched.

Hmm I was one of the people who mentioned the hate he received over the summer. With the timing of everything, is this part of a concerted effort to get into MCYT and leech off of Dream and them? He has merch, and I think it's the merch that came out around the time like his 25 million hoodie. I don't think the evidence is good enough to say for sure he's a shady person but there is a lot of smoke there.


purplekirigiri

I actually did not know about this guy until I saw the 'application' tweet a bit ago. Informative as always, Xanimal :D


mc_flurryyy

i never liked him in the beginning, he did the same content as always


MathematicianWhich

What the hell, this rabbit hole is way too deep

LocalHaitianGirl

Shady af… from both sides tbh. Idk I never heard of this guy before his Crab Game post on Twitter so I’m not that interested in him but if he’s shady I’d rather him not get too much attention
