A lot of people who go through trauma try to rationalize it by convincing themselves that it helped make them stronger and more independent, and they tend to attribute future perceived successes to their ability to overcome their trauma. Ultimately, however, that is just a mechanism we use to protect ourselves emotionally and to provide a sense of closure to our experiences. Hence we are all too willing to project those experiences onto others and give them a positive spin, even going as far as feeling thankful for that experience. Hardship is a part of growth and learning, but let us not lose sight of the fact that there's different kinds of hardships.

EVS appears to be projecting his own shitty experience with junkie parents and having to take care of siblings without parental guidance onto the Rekieta children. He has protected himself from that trauma by seeing it as a net positive, re: "it made me self-reliant and thus paved the way to my future success". I don't really have the energy to get upset at someone like that. It's simply a sad situation all around, and what he is saying is a direct consequence of his own lamentable experiences.

At the end of the day, it is hard to argue that pushing children into that situation of traumatic hardship, even if it forces them to learn useful skills or become stronger emotionally, over healthy and able parenting, is preferable. Nobody would say that children should have junkie parents at a certain stage of their lives, but that is the implication of saying that there is nothing wrong with the situation. There is a scenario that was obviously preferable, and the parents' actions are the only reason that scenario was not possible. No matter how you look at it, it is at the very least a prime example of parental failure.

 

[残念。]

EVS is now directly blaming the children.

So he wants the children to act like they've been abused for years and become self reliant, or maybe he thinks they should be more mature and do their own laundry? Either way that behavior relies on the parent's behavior, whether it was to abuse them for long amounts of time or to teach them to do their own laundry. You can't blame children for this drug fueled downfall their parents had just in recent times.

It's crazy what these people will say to defend the clearly fucked behavior balldo is exhibiting.

 

[Red_Cap]

Nick was raised Catholic. Kayla and her family are Protestant and he went along with them, assumedly because he never actually cared.

Many such cases.

 

[Beard_Chan]

Guess I loved my siblings more than you.

People like you say things like this to cope and pretend like you don't have past trauma. No, its not normal for kids to have to take care of other kids in a house, that's the parents job. I had friends like this in high school and they ended up sleeping in class from being so tired, dropped out of after school activities to work to help the family, and got stuck in a very bad position, never given the time you need in youth to chart your course in life. Being responsible for others is a heavy burden... Only adults should be making that choice.

Like holy shit the autistic highlights I've had to skip past of people defending this. What the hell is wrong with you?

 

[Fully Eshay Skits Bruh V4]

Says alot about Nick and letting EVS trash talk his kids, he might be worse than Ralph.

 

[Balldo's Gate]

I still think his whole "Kiwis actually came through" thing is gay and insulting.

Am I alone in this? I think insulting to all the hard work people put in in this thread for months and years. People like @Balldo's Gate, for example (it would take too long to type out a full list, but you all know who you are).

Should I just go with the mindset (no pun intended) that a W is a W?

Legal Mindset was the greatest Balldowasher of all time. It's not even close.

When Nick was at his peak, Andrew was there as his attack dog going after other legal streamers who weren't willing to defend 100% of what Rekieta did.

He appeared laughing on the infamous Faran drunk stream where Rekieta not-so-subtly tried to recruit Faran as a swinging partner.

He regularly had Drex on as a guest, with predictable topics.

According to Legal Mindset, he now regrets dragging his content into the sex stuff, but that is with the benefit of hindsight. If Nick's brain-hole-fueled idea of how he would pivot his channel had succeeded and Nick was still popular, I'm sure he'd still be doing that shit.

In reality Legal Mindset only distanced himself from Nick after finally deciding to branch off onto his own content, the Disney stuff and then whatever VTuber thing he brings TheGatorGamer on for. I think around November or December of last year he started rejecting appearance requests from Nick, because there was something that prompted unhinged seething from Balldoman. It's also conspicuous that when the initial news of the arrest broke out, Andrew played it "neutral", while only going after Nick when it was clear what way the wind was blowing.

The least Andrew could do is admit that KF was right about everything.

The second thing Andrew could do is come clean with what he knew about Rekieta's activities. Camelot says he knew Rekieta was a coke addict and also addicted to prostitutes. It's clear Nick only came clean to people who he viewed as part of the "cool kids" - Kurt knew nothing - but through their interactions, Nick did include Andrew in that category.

What did Andrew know? He was with Rekieta at Anime Matsuri in 2022, when Nick was 40, which was when Aaron says Nick told him he first did coke. We know Nick did molly on that trip (which he still does, according to Aaron), but what else happened?

 

[WelperHelper99]

I think you're all forgetting that before the GTFOing there was the 'threatening to murder them both'.

I mean yeah... but he didn't do it! Nick actually smoked crack around his starving children and got his door knocked down in front of his daughter. Threat vs action. Pat still wins.

 

[JackoVerde]

And who is buying the supplies? Does he need a full time job now too in addition to being a full time parent and full time student at 16 years old?

You people really are irredeemably retarded.

Nick: son you’re in chemistry class now right
Son: yes dad.
Nick: make me methanphetamine son, I really need it, and the stream money won’t come in until Friday.
Son: but dad, isn’t meth very illegal.
Nick: okay you Scandinavian incel prude, I guess you’re not cool like us.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

capable of cooking (if there's food to be cooked) and doing laundry. 100 years ago 13 year old girls were raising families, doing laundry (the hard way), cooking, cleaning, etc all by themselves with no access to the internet.

Nigga with what groceries? What means of transportation? You realize most of those 13 year olds 100 years ago were sold off to marry a Vito who managed to have a few zeros under his name. Do you really want to advocate for pedophiles? I highly doubt it's both 13 year olds making a home it's more like a 30 year old man with a 13 year old.

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

My 11 year old daughter makes her lunch for school every day and does her own laundry among other chores

I’m assuming she’s doing that in the context of a functional household where she is given a limited and clear scope of what is her responsibility while the adults make sure everything else is running smoothly enough to empower her to start to take responsibility for herself, and that at some point you had a discussion with her about taking up these chores, you didn’t just stop giving her lunch and let all the household laundry pile up without bothering to explain anything.

 

[sum ting wong]

Aren’t 16 year olds taking high school chemistry.
If you can mix elements in the classroom, you can DIY laundry detergent.

And who is buying the supplies? Does he need a full time job now too in addition to being a full time parent and full time student at 16 years old?

You people really are irredeemably retarded.

I know we're all a little autistic, but I'm like 99% sure that guy was making a joke mocking the balldo-washers like EVS

 

[VicarWig]

Is it? Again doesn’t apply for nick but normal families 16 is when you start practicing driving, perhaps find a high school sweet heart, you’re only 2 years away from adulthood. I know when I was 16 it was when my parents started asking I do some little things around the house like dishes or laundry. If you have really younger sibilants you might be asked to assist so it’s not all that crazy to think 16 year olds have some capacity

Again this has no bearing on nick especially since the parents are crackheads and they had a nanny until recently would not expect any kid to be doing much in that scenario

Everyone seems to be missing the point that although the kids are capable of such simple tasks that they actively chose to be hungry and smell and hide in their rooms, rather than be out in the common areas of the house and risk interacting with their cokehead parents.

 

[JackoVerde]

Nigga with what groceries? What means of transportation? You realize most of those 13 year olds 100 years ago were sold off to marry a Vito who managed to have a few zeros under his name.

I’m pretty sure 100 years ago in most western countries, the vast majority of parents didn’t sell their 13 year old daughters to some rich Vito.
Maybe in Africa or some shit.

Are you guys for real arguing that 12-16 year olds can't do their own laundry and make their own food? Nick is a piece of shit and so is his wife and the kids did not deserve any of this, but jesus christ guys kids aren't helpless. Where did you guys grow up and how was your upbringing so sheltered if you didn't do laundry or cook food? Literally everything has instructions on it AND everyone has the internet, for one thing, and that's a step up from when even I was growing up in the late 80s/90s. My 11 year old daughter makes her lunch for school every day and does her own laundry among other chores. YES, Nick hasnt been a disaster for that long and YES a 16 year old cannot go from 0-100 in a couple of months, but are we really sitting here saying a 16 year old can't figure out how to do laundry if they need to? Come on guys. Even if they didn't have laundry detergent, you can throw them in there anyway and just do the wash with water only.

Don't mistake this for taking Nick/Kaylas side at all. And I do not think kids should be totally taking care of themselves or unsupervised all the time. But to act like a fucking 16 year old is incapable of figuring out how to do laundry or make some food is ridiculous. Maybe I am way off base here but I hope I'm not, because if teenagers can't even figure out how to eat for themselves then I guess society is just done for. I am absolutely convinced that even for these upper middle class and sheltered kids, it's far less that they "can't" do this or that and far more that they "choose not to" do this or that. Again, shitty situation, and I HATE that these kids went through this, my only point here is that they could do things for themselves. They shouldn't have had to, but they could.

I really don't wanna sound like I am defending Nick OR belittling the situation these kids were in...I am just baffled at the lack of agency you guys seem to be saying teenagers have.

I'll take you in good faith and just point out that those on your spectrum are vastly underestimating the psychological damage these kids are going through and the environmental influences on them. Also, who is buying the laundry detergent and who is buying the food? You're assuming they had a fully stocked house.

There's a lot wrong with your guys arguments, but just start there and work your way logically. You're speaking solely from the perspective of a stable household, which this is not.

My brother in Balldo, I don't think anyone is arguing that tweens-teens are incapable of doing chores and preparing food. The point is that they shouldn't have to. Of course children can be parentified, and that's generally considered a bad thing.

 

[gang weeder]

Regardless, I'm not sure where the idea that it'd be cool if he was kicked out of Christianity comes from. It's fun to watch the trainwreck but from a Christian perspective, it just does not make sense to turn people away. The faith has multiple prophets and 1 apostle who used to be complete and utter trainwrecks.

I mean yeah there's not really any such thing as being "kicked out of" Christianity as a whole. You might get kicked out of individual churches but you can just go to another one of the 5 billion Protestant denominations and/or non-denominational Protestant churches.

april hasn't popped her head up one bit? seems to be the only one being smart right now, doing what nick should be doing but apparently can't because "muh oppositional defiant disorder"

April isn't a professional Internet grifter like Rekieta. She was already complaining to Aaron that she wanted to get completely off the Internet before this whole situation blew up. I think women in general are more likely to retreat and hide from something like this as opposed to men who more often feel some kind of need to defend their honor or whatever.

I can, because the church is his only foreseeable path to "redemption". They will likely accept him back if he cleans up and then he can spin that into this whole redemption arc. Honestly if he doesn't go in that direction, then there IS no direction for him to go, imo anyway. It's that or death/prison. His whole IRL social circle are either criminals or the church people and his whole online persona is based around drinking liquor for money now. He's like a shitty version of ShoeNice.

Going back to his church and begging forgiveness would be the smart and mature thing to do. However he does not by any means need to do that in order to spin a redemption narrative. Nick Fuentes grifts as a Catholic "Christ is King" guy while never actually going to mass. Nick could easily do the same and/or just go to a different church.

I don't see him doing this anytime soon though. He's pretty committed to his "incel prudes" narrative and is still denying that he has a problem. He's not going to come out and do the Christian redemption thing if he's still refusing to go to rehab, saying that his children were fine, etc. Because to do so at this point would be to admit fault, to admit that he has sinned and needs to repent, and his ego won't allow that. Not yet at least, maybe at some point in the future after he's been buck broken a bit.

 

[East_Clintwood]

The only thing I hate about the Balldo is that it doesn't vibrate.

Boy do I have some good news for you friendo:

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

TUG deserve an OP rewrite at this point. I wonder what other skeletons he has in his closet.

The wife he recently divorced was 17/18 when they married & he was her therapist or had a clinical relationship with her before marrying her. He was born in 75 & she was born in 87.

You truly are fucking retarded. Seriously. Real talk. This family had a full time live in nanny and mother. I've seen households where nobody knew how to use a microwave. Things just happen around these kids. Someone is hungry? Mom or nanny will make it. And I'll bet it wasn't Spaghetti-Os. Laundry just happens. Beds are cleaned and made. Bathrooms magically clean themselves. This is what happens with that level of help. Nanny disappears while Mom and Dad are getting deeper into Columbia's main export. Two fucking degenerates show up. The only thing done is cocaine now. If these kids couldn't sneak past the orgy to do laundry (the nook is through the sexatorium), what do they do? Make a washboard and air dry it?

 

[datura_binge]

Is she also cleaning up your messes

See that is a strawman, because I was not saying these kids should have been cleaning up for Nick and Kayla etc. My only point was that they could have done their own laundry and made their own food if they wanted to. I am not saying they should have had to do it, or that they deserved any of this, or anything. ALL I am saying is that they could do these things and people are in here acting like a washing machine is beyond the intellectual capacity of a teenager. I feel unbelievably sad for these children and the lifestyle they have now lost, ultimately.
