I think it's wiser to consider that said decade+ old video is the product of a pretty young person at a period of time where managing fanbase interactions as an independent online entertainer was, well, just as exhausting and toxic as it is now, but without the intervening years of collective experience.

ok, but-

-you were actually specifically making fun of his voice just now. like just a moment ago, on the same page of this thread.

Linkara is still pretty prone to being hostile towards people who watch him, so I don’t necessarily think he’s changed that much.

Linkara has been the continual target of Kiwifarms-type freaks for over a decade so I think it's reasonable for him to block people who log on just to insult him.

It's interesting how this thread culture can talk about different public figures. There's a sort of "dignity uncanny valley" where if you're not respectable enough but also not cringe to the point of, like, near-criminality, it's like all the gloves are off.

I don't think it's good to make fun of people's voices, for example.

KiwiFarms is terrible and I 100% condemn their harassment. This does not change the fact that Linkara has Big Kid Even The Teacher Shoves in a Locker Energy

This is a forum built on making fun of people online

And some of the best things to come out of the forum reject that entirely.

i dont think you should log onto twitter and @ linkara to make fun of his voice or post the running gif at him. however, lightly mocking someone in a forum they will never read, with no intention of pushing that mocking outwards, is not harassment or bullying.
