This isn’t a defense of Ian, but I agree super hard with you and I think people forget this about ian.
He seems out of touch because he is out of touch. Like, really bad.
Imagine becoming a millionaire in your teens/early 20s. Like holy shit you’re basically just a baby at that age. And his parents fully, fully supported him up until that point.
He’s never had a job. He’s never had to interact in the real world.
Ian is a piece of shit back stabbing snake.
But the better part of me does sometimes think that it could have been different if Ian actually….. didn’t grow up in a millionaire bubble.
he’s learning some real fucking hard knocks about life now that he’s becoming….. not even broke. Just middle class in his 30s.
But it’s almost like a cruel experiment.
Take a kid, make him super rich and addicted to the internet, introduce a slut that ruins him, and then watch him try to cope being functional and middle class 20 years later as the fame and cash is stripped away for him.
Watching a dude that’s never had to live among the common people become common in his middle age then add on that a bunch of weird drugs and therapy brain washing.
I mean it’s like doing a bunch of weird fucked up shit to a lab rat for entertainment.
Except it’s a retard named Ian.
