That would seem to be a simple thing to get accused of here, just in general across the board. A person must advertise themselves as having a "low investment" energy slash take to be taken even remotely credibly. Otherwise it's very easy to be seen as a fool for having committed the faux paux of unnecessarily drawing attention to one's soapbox. Cynthia avoided the majority of that stigma (good for her, really), but I think it's because people knew what they were getting and she was unofficially(?) invited after her main fray. Seemed only fair to give someone like that a proper onboarding before they knew what they were coming into.As such anyone afterwards had to beat the claims of being yet another fucking drama queen.
Nicks' lolcow moment for me was when I noted the dreaded livechat was going to be a 24/7 thing and he was beginning to sort himself out with his fans on the daily (pre-lewds). (Something about Locals just advertises and encourages parasocial trash) Then there's the constant theme of alcohol and his words being a bit too slick for someone who just abhors being a source of drama. How could we even imagine him as being remotely emotionally invested in other people's affairs! Opening a chatroom that puts attention seeking fans at your doorstep to bring all the daily community rumors to your doorstep screamed community control (in the sense of protecting himself and his brand). Add in the narcissistic
There's also the "I'm a narcissist!!!1" (edit) drunken confessional during the Legalbytes rant that he later claimed he couldn't remember. I comfortably attached the final nail in the coffin simply by recalling his own words and so that moment helped stitch it up.
