okay it looks like he was driven mad because people on twitter doxxed him (but maybe he doxed them first?)(but maybe he didn't and was trying to de-escalate?). now he's functionally indistinguishable from other popular rightoid accounts (howling mutant etc) and chats with them frequently. sam hyde helped him make a documentary?
and people started noticing that flesh simulator rarely cites sources in his videos, they're riddled with factual inaccuracies, he inconsistently/selectively applies his critical conspiracybrain, etc., etc. but those are not unique traits to flesh simulator. not james somerton-level malpractice.
the interesting thing is that howling mutant knows how to make jokes, and so does flesh simulator. sam hyde thinks he can but he's not very good at it. the former two are better writers, the latter is like what if early tim heidecker was bad at his job.
now the 'selectively-applied conspiracybrain' is even worse. when he's not going after his (tbf from what i can tell very annoying) ops, pretending he's like harlan ellison (i think he has less of a point than he thinks he does, but it's not nothing), or sephirothing, he's making psychology shit up ("my little internet friends talking about rape all the time means we actually do it LESS")*, praising hitler's economic policy (which was the largely privatized, even though he claims to want 'big' industries nationalized) and talking about haiti ("why is it hellish?" surely, the man who spent years talking about da government malicious and bad can think of a few reasons that aren't just 'haitians are uniquely bad at running a country'?). how it's the pinnacle of terror to be robbed, but actually, don't question the narrative, alex pretti totally shot himself.
and actually, guys, you're alienating people when you say it's WEIRD to call other countries 'rapeistans,' you're driving sensible moderates like flesh simulator into the arms of the far right. he's NORMAL! HE'S BASELINE! don't you SEEEEE? he's an epic based schizoposter until you say "hey that's kind of alienating and schizo," at which point he sniffily says, "well, i'm the voice of the people. if you don't like me you don't like regular men." ARE YOU HARLAN ELLISON OR ARE YOU A NORMIE?
*tbc dark humor is fine, and i actually think the 'talking about it all the time means you are less likely to do it' thing has some merit. ocdbrain-type comment. however, the fixation on rape rape rape rape is a big switch from just 10 years ago. like i can't stop you from saying anything, i'm not the word police. mutton dressed as lamb/millennials online who are too old for this shit say 'retard' every other word, and that kind of bugs me, but what am i going to do? ask to speak to the manager? misogyny is old but the rape obsession is new. i wonder why it's big NOW, you know?
