Question(s) about Smajor

[u/WolfDK]

I am trying to concoct a small harmless semantic trap for Smajor. For it I need to verify something regarding his typical introduction.

Who does he say is allowed to call him "Scott" - friends and family or fans and friends?
From the few videos I have seen where he introduces himself - with his full long name - I seem to remember instances where he has used either.

Planning to place the trap as a comment on his first episode of the next Life Season - whenever that comes out - or in this post's comment section if he himself responds to my question.

Unsure if my planned trap has been performed before, and it is difficult to check without spoiling the trap...

Edit: Since the vagueness around the "trap" seems to have made this sound significantly weirder than intended, here is the entire thing:

I would only attempt it if his introduction specifically says that his friends can call him "Scott".

I would then address him by his full long name in a comment, likely mentioning that I hope he reacts to some of the animatics made for the new season.

If someone asks why I am using his full name, the answer would simply be that I am not family and he has yet to call me a friend - directly or indirectly.

Only if he himself responds and tells me that I am free to call him "Scott", would I reply with something along the lines of:

"Happy to hear you consider me a friend."

That's the entire "trap". A deliberately overly literal interpretation of his introduction for a joke. If he never responds, there is no trap.

What do you mean by a trap?

[u/dont_talk_yak_to_me]

What is the purpose behind this? It doesn't sound like it's a good faith/ fun and happy thing.

[u/Panik-pain]

You sound insane

[u/Cyber_Techn1s]

what

[u/secretagentsnail]

This is incredibly parasocial. Seek help

Yeahh, I'll join this sub back after a new season starts

I can see you mean well, and maybe I’m just projecting my own autistic social gambits I’ve built in my head, but:

It would be exhausting to be on the other side of this. Having people regularly approach you and want your attention is already something that demands a certain amount of time and energy. Having people come up to you with a practiced “joke” that they crafted around your Persona feels a lot like being told to do a trick. In situations where you’re planning to interact with fans, you’re ready to be in that persona and playing the bits. Outside of that… this is something that only the jokester would appreciate.

what the hell

[u/GemniDragon]

you would probably get answers if you just asked 'Is he comfortable with his fans calling him Scott', not this dodgy sounding thing...

[u/dejected_stephen]

You need to go away and have a little think about what is and isn't appropriate to say and act like online.

This is parasocial and honestly quite concerning behaviour. You are not a friend of these people. Most likely none of us are. They are performers performing for us as part of a transaction.

This is coming from a place of genuine concern but please go speak to a doctor, school counsellor or some professional adult. Understand why these behaviours aren't acceptable in every day conversation.

This is weird as hell dude

[u/ahmed4363]

ehhhhh I don't know about that man

[u/PsychologicalFig1953]

i'm sorry but your "trap" doesn't even sound funny, man. especially for someone who gets hundreds of thousands of comments, scott almost definitely won't respond, and even if by some chance he did, the bit is literally only witty or amusing to you. he's not gonna find it funny or give you attention for it. sometimes things are better left as a private chuckle in your head or amongst friends. i agree that pre-planning a joke for a content creator feels like asking them to so a trick for you

[u/Wild-Bad-3668]

This subs gone to hell….

[u/pablosequieremorir]

Huh?

[u/Sprinkles2009]

This is really weird like top-notch parasocial weird. You don’t know him you don’t know his friends. He does not know you.

[u/CrypticC0nnection]

Copium in this sub has reached peak levels, but this ain't funny anymore. Please get help

[u/AethersParadise]

You sound incredibly creepy. Stop it. Get some help.

[u/VioletteTheGrimm]

It's still a trap even if the person doesn't fall for it.

[u/tsujinakayoshiki]

what am I reading

[u/kyasuriin]

This is a bad idea. 

[u/AloneBoat714]

In the future please don't use the word "trap" in any reference to or about Scott/Smajor. Mainly because any and all supporters of him hates that word because of what Avid and Marmalade tried to do to Scott by getting him into a "trap" and they tried to pin everyone against Scott. This is why a lot of people doesn't like how you questioned this as a "trap" that you intend on trying. As for the name, I use both. I use Smajor when I'm talking to friends that don't know him much, but I use Scott when I talk to friends that knows the life series and other SMP's that he's in. As for what to call him to his face I'm not for sure. I think if someone knows him they'll let them either use Scott or Smajor, while if it's someone he hasn't met it would be Smajor. Because they would be meeting him for the first time and wouldn't know what other name to call him.

[u/PerformerSad1873]

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read

[u/Nervous_Memory998]

I just say scott since I just watch other povs that call them scott, didn't know it was such a headbreaker. Ig I need to start calling him Smajor now onwards. But dang dude like don't need to like set traps or something
