I just decided to check the Technoblade tag and apparently there’s people claiming “he has had no narrative losses”???? But not just that, there’s people attacking cc!Techno over it like they have a right to tell him what to do with his character. Sure, have your criticisms and critiques. You’re allowed to have those. But trying to tell a content creator what you think they SHOULD be doing with their character in a bossy “I know better” way, is ridiculous. It’s his content. He’s just having fun.
And so what if he hasn’t had any losses?? That doesn’t automatically make it a bad narrative. Sometimes in stories, there are characters who don’t lose anything and it’s about what they gain because they started out lacking.
But, also, have they watched Techno’s POV? Right after the battle for La’Manburg he literally lost all of his friends and teammates when they formed a government right in front of him. Story wise this went against everything his character believed and he lost them. Sure he sorta gained Phil, but that is one person. And yeah, his sorrow over the loss of friendship and burned partnerships could’ve been played up a bit more. But it’s a minecraft roleplay for goodness sake, not a Hollywood mass production.
Also I would like to remind everyone that this series often plays out like a dungeons and dragons campaign. But instead of dice, random outcomes are dependent on player skill. Some of it is scripted, yes. But, for example, take the fight between Techno and Quakity right after the failed execution. Wilbur and others have said that situations like this are entirely dependent on player PVP skills. Quakity really tried to kill Techno. But skill wise, cc!Techno is just better at PVP. Wilbur has said that there was certainly a chance for the story to go a very different way if cc!Techno lost the fight. But he didn’t.
Techno may not have lost too much in the way of material things or his life. But he has been used, betrayed, betrayed again, etc etc. Techno as a character is seemingly meant to be the OP character that may have all the skill and items, but suffers from being constantly alone. His loss comes in the form of friendships and mental stability. Yes his own actions can be to blame for a lot of his lost friendships but that’s what makes him a character with flaws. And here recently, just when he has started to make new friends, Ranboo dies. And that was not shrugged off. (Unless you count using Ranboo’s death as a way to sell merch lol)
I will end this little rant by saying this: it’s just a minecraft roleplay. You’re allowed to have critiques and gripes with the story and characters. (Lord knows I do) But at the end of the day it’s just friends having fun and you shouldn’t go insulting them just because they didn’t write a story you like. And if you don’t watch his POV, you could start out by saying so. Because that means you don’t have the full story. I don’t watch Tommy’s POV so I’m not even gonna pretend to know what is going on with him other than what I have seen from Techno’s, Ranboo’s, or Philza’s POV.
TL;DR: Please don’t insult Minecraft YouTubers just because you don’t like their content.
