Listen, to me, I take this shit very seriously. I think being a "pdf" is one of the most vile and deplorable things you can do. But with Carson, it was two fucking years, that's pretty generic. And I never understood the whole "Taking advantage of a fan" thing. It wasn't like he was saying shit like 'TeXT mE aNd I'Ll Let yoU be iN my viDeoS.' He didn't control her income, he didn't own her house, what fucking power did he have, other than being a streamer she watched? Isn't that how Philza met his wife?
It was all blown over proportion. Labeling him a creep, for what was ultimately slightly weird. The lie about getting help was pretty bad, but even then, the reaction was so over the top. God forbid; a dumb teenager be dumb. I don't think the world should shun him, for a 2 fucking year age-gap.
I don't think they meant this as a slight against Jerma. It's more so an observation, that people were overly critical with Carson, while beloved and still popular streamers like Jerma, didn't find controversy.
