Yeah, dunno if I'm being melodramatic or whatever, but feels like this dude's getting an overwhelming amount of negative attention for some fuck ups that are pretty minor compared to some lately (nazi shit, homophobic shit, predatory sexual shit, etc). It's like a full blown character assassination on the grounds that he's a bit of a kook.
I think it's easy to assume he's an arrogant fuck, but it's also likely he's pretty insecure and lacks self-awareness. Especially going by his reactions - disabling comments, pulling out of the panic rematch etc... Seems like he doesn't know how to deal with this. Considering the growing awareness of mental health shit in skating lately, I reckon people should think twice about this kind of lynch mob shit. How someone acts in one situation/is portrayed doesn't necessarily reflect their everyday behaviour, much less their true nature. We have no idea how stable this dude is. And anxiety, depression, and suicide are getting way to common.
Not targeting Slap either, more the Youtube clips and apparent social media abuse. Having an opinion is fine, but this lynch mob shit makes me worry about the dude. Hopefully he just gets a reality check and pops his bigspins and wraps his impossibles in future.
Luan vs Asta is gonna be dope. Almost jarring after these Joes and influencers.
