I'll cross-post my reply in that case.

I don't hold Osaka up as an idol, he's a very flawed guy. I wasn't necessarily praising him, I was just saying that I was drawn to his video because he was doing what others on YouTube claim to do, something genuinely different and authentic. There's a difference between an aesthetic that you just so happen to have and aestheticising something. For example most Denpa content, including mine is extremely low fidelity because most of us are poor NEETs who can't afford top of the line hardware to upload our videos, therefore we record at low resolutions to keep our file sizes small, because otherwise it would take literally hours to upload some of our videos. It's not aestheticised, it's just the aesthetic the videos happened to take up due to necessity.

Also I wasn't bragging about not playing video games, etc. As I eluded to in this video and have said in others, I'm quite a fucked up guy, and I have my own vices. I was just saying that I'm not interested in getting past the current slop/entertainment to venture onto new pastures of slop. I'm looking to do away with entertainment entirely to whatever degree I can. Maybe that seems pretentious, but for me it reads more like a drug addict trying to quit an addiction.

I admit that I had a very toxic view of Denpa earlier on and was trying to (somewhat manically) steer it in my own direction. In the video you're referring to I stated how I felt like I became corrupted, maybe I didn't speak about that as much as I should have, but I'm quite frankly ashamed of some of my later videos, before I "left" and the whole direction that I was taking the channel.

OH NO IM PARASOCIAL!

Yeah that whole parasocial thing was retarded to be fair.

But you have an agenda now:

I changed my name because I recognised some of the, more than anything, retarded behaviour I was getting myself into in forwardly identifying with the Denpa label. It was very presumptuous of me.

Honestly from this point moving forward I think I'm just going to stop referring to Denpa or any of the meta on here entirely. Honestly meta itself is probably just a potential pitfall. Not discussing the meta of Denpa would seem like a good way to keep out of the drama.

I apologise for any offense I may have caused to anyone, or any drama I may have started here.
