I skipped through that GH stream. His reaction to Gabbers' recent part was pretty fun and on point: just blown away and in awe of his gnarliness. I could do without the constant talk about his fits, but that's it.
His reaction to Christine's post and everything that's happened around it wasn't all thát bad I thought. But maybe I watched a second cut or something, because some of the things mentioned here I didn't hear.
He took the subject seriously (tone, careful reading, stopped the jokes, etc.), and seemed pretty disgusted by it all. I liked how he mentioned a few times, in a somewhat surprised/puzzled manner, that ten years ago a story like hers (the one told on that Weekend Buzz episode) apparently didn't get the appropriate reaction it possibly would have got now (even apart from the fact that ten years ago we didn't have a context that includes, among others, Christine's IG posts). I get a little boost of optimism whenever a younger person is weirded out by these kind of signs of a fucked up (underlying) cultural attitude that was commonplace when I was around their age.
He did go off on a tangent a bit about Slap at the end there, but most of it didn't really bother me much. He got angry/frustrated about the '.....and Zero loves him' part of the original title of this thread, but he didn't understand the reason why this thread got that title to begin with. Plus my brain automatically switches off whenever a twenty year old dude even as much as hints that he's thinking about giving his opinion on how X or Y event is indicative of the poisonous turn that 'cancel culture' has taken, so I didn't fully take note. And he got most angry/frustrated about that post complaining that Cole one time was friendly to him and his mates at a skatepark, and left some decks etc. for them, but he got too worked up about it to read that that post (rightly) got criticised by quite a few people here, and wasn't the official Slap policy position he made it out to be. His point there was fair (that it's silly to pretend now that literally everything that Cole has ever done, like giving away decks or tre flipping Wallenberg, always was wack, awful and repulsive) but like I said, pretty much no one said that, and he isn't picking up on something that everyone else is too blinded to see or something like that. Plus, he didn't grasp that sometimes this kind of piling up of negativity on someone works to just vent some of that disgust out of your system, and everyone with a half decent brain knows that his awful style or persona isn't actually the important point here and shouldn't obscure the actual topic at hand.
He might have got high there at the end on the feeling of being uniquely smart and courageous enough to speak truth in the face (made up) mass delusion, but again that's basically obligatory behaviour for a twenty year old dude on a YouTube channel, engaging with the outside world through his screen. He kept it all to a decent minimum, and I got the impression that he was aware that he got himself so worked up that he couldn't really think straight at the end.
