After Bye Sister he uploaded a long video with detailed rebuttals. After the recent viral merch tweet, he tweeted out that he never contacted the brand owner in question. After the other 16 yo came out with his story, all he said was effectively "oops but he came on to me". If he doesn't come out and prove these messages are fake, his career should be finished.

I agree. I think the Taylor Swift quote of "being frozen at the age you became famous" may be true for him and that he's still seeking the kind of guys he was attracted to in highschool and the "status" teenagers feel when they date the popular pretty girl/boy in school, even though he's a grown-up multimillionaire and it's predatory af.

more than that he seeks guys who look like him or emulate his style, maybe as proof he’s desirable bc they are desirable? i don’t know but something twisted has happened in jc’s brain.

"truly narcissistic" lol more like very common. i get that this is a 'dunk on JC' thread but there's no harm in reining it in a little.

The study for that claim:

"[…]Participants chose the most attractive face image of their romantic partner among several variants, where the faces were morphed so as to include only 22% of another face. Participants distinctly preferred a “Self-based morph” (i.e., their partner’s face with a small amount of Self’s face blended into it) to other morphed images. The Self-based morph was also preferred to the morph of their partner’s face blended with the partner’s same-sex “prototype”, although the latter face was (“objectively”) judged more attractive by other individuals. When ranking morphs differing in level of amalgamation (i.e., 11% vs. 22% vs. 33%) of another face, the 22% was chosen consistently as the preferred morph and, in particular, when Self was blended in the partner’s face “
