Fishtank season 1 was decent but I don't get the appeal in the rest of his stuff excluding an occasional funny here and there

Is this how far the bar has fallen for e-daddies?

Sorry if I enrage any autists by reactivating an older thread (tried to find the newest one). I didn't think it was worth making a new thread but, I am genuinely puzzled that there aren’t more questions asked about Sam outside of the political shit.

I don’t personally dislike him, but the material from my perspective is just really not strong enough to justify the level of dick sucking he receives. I love absurdist humor but MDE came off as a mediocre Tim and Eric ripoff. I can count on one hand the number of times it made me laugh, and that was just cheap repetitive shock humor.
Fishtank had some amusing moments but knowing how much of it is staged due to some of the contestants having loose lips makes it less funny.

The gaslighting of idubbbz was probably the funniest thing he’s done and even then, him reading the document of ideas they had was 10x funnier than watching him actually do it. I just don't understand where this intense obsession and white knighting for him comes from, although maybe I'm just the retard here.

But what I really want to know more about is the Marky allegation (although, understandably, no one wants to touch that with a ten ft pole). Since her birth year is 1997 (assuming that’s true anyways, source is a "trust me bro" so idk) nothing illegal happened but it def did not look good if any of it was real. If it was all fake I would expect him to have said so but afaik he’s never said a word about it (if I’m wrong please correct me on that though). Is there even any archival of the original post(s) about this? The only thing that seems to exist is a collage of cringey screenshots that is nearly impossible to read and could easily be fake.

To reiterate, I am not accusing Sam of being a pedo or claiming this is real, cuz I have no idea what I'm even looking at. I just find it weird that there are literally no answers on where/who these images originated from and wtf this was all about. If these are fake screenshots and false allegations, why? He was widely not known as “the Nazi guy” then. MDE hadn’t aired. Who would have fabricated this and why? Who is the girl in these pictures (Marky?)? Who IS Marky anyways? wtf is with the (fake?) nosebleed? I just want real answers for once instead of only speculation from people who hate Sam, or dismissal of the topic by his fans, with neither side providing anything verifiable.

He can be funny but I think the overwhelmingly positive reception from his fanbase is mostly because his style of humor is very "us vs. them" . I've met lots of guys like this who do the "I'm being ironic and making fun of X group and either you'll be offended and thus part of that group of 'get it' and thus be in on the joke with me" thing and he does this all the time. It makes people feel like they've accomplished something or got his approval by finding him funny.

At this point unless someone who is remotely mentally stable with the capability to slap together actual proof comes forth we'll probably never get an answer.

The only break in that was some chick claiming to have proof who went on Null's stream but she was completely sloshed causing Null to end stream because she wasn't even coherent.

Yeah it was his ex Channing Creager.

She later went on Killstream instead…. so people obviously took it less seriously than they already were.

I liked College Cunts and B&E Cribs back when neither he nor I were old enough for that to be pathetic, I think because that was the era where they just said things they meant sometimes instead of perpetually existing in a quantum superposition of irony and post-irony to preemptively delegitimize criticism or whatever it's supposed to accomplish. Also the "the weak should fear the strong" meme. I didn't watch World Peace because Adult Swim isn't funny if you don't smoke weed, and everything since has been pretty unbearable. I think Paradigm Shift is both the best and worst thing he ever did because it opened a lot of eyes to how disreputable TED and TED Talks are, but it also made him think he's the next Andy Kaufman. The Hasan Piker call-out was good actually. He has his moments. He just always seems weirdly joyless and mean spirited for somebody who's supposed to be a comedian.

Also I choose to believe the ABDL allegations just because it makes me laugh.
