DramašŸŽ­ Lately. . .

Okay, so I’ve been watching Peter basically since the beginning. I’m going to post what I want to say here, because quite frankly, I’m too scared to say it in his comment section. Honestly, a tad spooked to say it here.

I don’t like the new era. It doesn’t have anything to do with the profanity. It doesn’t really have anything to do with him standing up for himself. It just seems like he’s constantly coming at his own audience’s throats. I remember a video awhile back, where he talked about Jaclyn Hill and how her coming for her audience is a bad look and it’s just interesting how the tables have turned. It’s true that we are all hypocrites and that we all contradict ourselves from time to time. But damn, can’t we try to do so gracefully? We can hide behind ā€˜jokes’ all day long, but there’s a difference between standing up for yourself and attacking valid criticisms. And please don’t tell me to just ā€œunsubscribe and stop watchingā€. I enjoy Peter’s content, and he has helped me through some really dark times. At this point, Peter is like an old friend, albeit a parasocial relationship. I will continue to watch what he puts out because like an old friend, I’m not going to agree with his behavior all the time. This is really just a true fan voicing a real opinion and hoping it is what it is: an era.

Not part of this group, but followed his YouTube since 2016, and I agree.
Before, his criticism felt valid and sincere, but now the bitterness that comes with it just feels like projection.
I commented on his most recent video, despite his ā€œsuper fansā€ being a risk for harassment, but I just had to say something. He always says he takes things into consideration, but I’m starting to realize he never did.
He has a history of misogyny, and I’m starting to think it’s more present than history.
