“I always thought he was weird. I never watched much of his content, I thought some of the streams he did in cosplay were cool but he got kinda annoying after a while from the clips I would see of him. I never thought he would go this far tbh but I recently found out he did a controversial cosplay. Glad he was arrested the whole thing sounds creepy af and he just seemed like a very weird person,” one detailed comment on reddit read.
