Wilbur did an update video:
He said he wanted to bring some clarity to the situation that happened last year but doesn't want to dig at old news
But if you want to dig up old news then why say anything?
Then he states that he does not like the labels that are being used surrounding him and that his family and friends know that he isn't an abusive
And to prove his point he'd have to share personal information about himself which is isn't comfortable with, so we should just trust him
To which, the genuine counter argument is:
1. We knew what the inside of his old apartment was, because Fundy showed it in a vlog
2. We know the city he lives in. THE CITY
3. We know his age (roughly), gender, date of birth, full legal name and his physical looks
4. We know what he would have named his first born child if they were born AFAB
5. People know where he's going to be because of his tours
6. We know his preferred brand of clothing, his style of clothing etc...
7. We know what he did/would have done at University, as he used to say on the dsmp that he was an English major. Since we don't have "Majors" in the UK, the thing he was most likely to be referring to is his pursuits for an English Language and Literature degree.
7.5 we know it was an English Language and Literature degree because he himself recounted learning and being interested in Hamilton and The Odysseus (being English Literature) and English Language is creative writing. Like the script of the dsmp
8. People know what trains and tubs he takes (idk how but they do)
And ALL this information was shared by him, in either his blogs, videos, live streams or collabs. So to say he doesn't share personal information yet have all this out thier is a lie
Furthermore to say that "alot of influence have to share personal information with fans for XZY" is a lie, because content creator like Ethoslab, Zombiecleo, Okaysoheresthething, Ranboo, MANY vtubers and other have all been able to keep both their likeness and personal information out of public spaces by just choosing not to share it, and taking the necessary steps not to have it public
But anyways, then he said he still stands by what his statement said in February of last year but people "misinterpreted probably due to his wording"
To which I'll point out again he's an English major/was a uni student for English/has a degree in English. So he either lied about his academic pursuits or his wording was somewhat intentional, because their ain't NO WAY-
Then he states that he doesn't the "sides to fight each other"
To which, I would like to add my own personal accounts of his fans. Not one single Shubble supporter or victim supporters did or said anything negative or harmful to me even when I asked questions.
His fans on the other hand... Yeahhhhhhh.
So this is coming a bit too late. Like 17 months late
But sure it's a good message to stand by, and no one should be sending death threats or "fighting" each other.
And then he got to the main bit about the video.
Not to further update his fans
But to promote his band and to say he wants to do more videos. Leading many to realise the first 30% of the 5 minutes long video was just engagement baiting, into getting more people to see, spread and recognise that he's coming back to content creation and his band is preforming again
TLDR: the most useless video I've seen this week. He says he wants to give clarity but then doesn't do that and spends 30% of the video contradicting himself and then promotes himself and his band.
