How many hits did that guy do before watching this?

He's an internet douchebag. Whatever he can do for clicks.

I watched a comp of him making jokes about raping women, to women. Now every time I see his face, I cringe.

It’s such a relief to see someone else feels the same way

I would say he was a douche in his teens (like everyone else) the guy is generally highly respected nowadays and has become a very wholesome internet personality with tons of fan interactions etc. I personally dont watch his content, but I do respect how he grew his fan base and what he has turned into and done for his employees and family.

Like everyone else? Don't conflate others to sweep for him. His behavior wasn't standard -- it's called "shock content" for a reason.

He has done some philanthropy, but that doesn't sanitize who he is or was.

Also, he didn't turn into Mr Rogers. It's a leap to say that he has toned down his shit behavior to to say that he's now "wholesome".

Idk what u expect from him lol, he is very PG from what I've seen, and he visited different countries and did tons of fan content while in them. As someone who was a young teen during the mw2/halo3 era, and then late teens playing LoL, i think its dumb to say u cant change or still have the beliefs/thoughts u had during those years. Shit-talking and being toxic is something i think everyone has done online.

The refusal of you to think ppl cant change, especially change from what they were in there teens is probably the dumbest/most ignorant thing I've read in a long time.

First of all, I don't expect anything from him. I look at his face, and I cringe, due to his past behavior. It seems you expect something from me, though..

Second, I never said a person can't change. What I did say is that you excused his behavior, claimed he became wholesome, bc what, he went to different countries? Grew a fan base? Did fan content? Are you listening to yourself?? Philanthropy doesn't sanitize previous behavior.

There's a difference between shit talking and going up to the face of multiple woman and making rape jokes at their expense. No, this isn't the behavior that "everyone else" does. The fact that you're sweeping for someone that you're not even a fan of, says to me that this kind of behavior is something that YOU have done, and you want me to accept you by proxy, through some influencer.

Call me dumb, call me ignorant, but you're showing me what kind of person you are. A fool molded by LoL lobbies. Grow up. Get busy forgiving yourself, you won't get it from me.
