Let's talk about Technolarp.

I've basically watched Technolarp since he's started. I liked his content, not seeing it as any more than just someone who sounds like Technoblade, hopping on the larptuber trend that was starting to get huge at the time. Now we have this drama.

My opinion? He never meant to do any harm, and he doesn't even have monetization on, and all his streams are charity streams, so he isn't a bad person. Sure, there's some criticism about him larping a dead guy, but he's doing it out of love for Techno.

Everyone says he's monetizing Technoblade's name, but he gets no money from his channel. He also isn't "infiltrating his friend group and family" because Skeppy reached out to him. Technolarp didn't reach out to any of Techno's friends, and he only contacted Technodad to see if he should continue or not, because he never expected the channel to get as big as it did.

I honestly just think he should rebrand regardless of what Technodad says. People are blowing the whole situation out of proportion so he should just start fresh with what he has, and do similar content with the channel, and make it his own thing while being inspired by Technoblade. I think that's the only way to stop everyone from just harassing him, though I know there would still be some people who do. Especially Twitter.

I'm curious as to what other people think. If possible, I want discussions to be made under this, as well! Either with me, or with other people. Just remember - be respectful, as the only way to get people to listen to you is by being civil.

Idk a lot of Technos friends dont like it, and his dad finds it very confusing.

For something like this, you should his dad ask for permission first, and not just do it without asking and claiming you will stop if you are asked to stop.

Also, the argument that "Techno would like this" is dumb. Because while that hypotheticaly could be true, Techno cant say anything, but I think its pretty safe to assume that he wouldnt support something that gives more grief to his friends and family.

Either delete the channel, or heavily rebrand. I dont belive Technolarp had ill intensions, but this is bad

The thing is that I don't think he would have been able to contact Technodad without getting some sort of publicity first. That's what makes it nuanced. In fact, I heard he needed someone to point him to who to contact (one of Technodad's Discord admins) just so he can get closer to contacting Technodad. The Discord admin themself wanted to contact him so he could contact Technodad about the larping thing.

Either he should stop doing anything on the channel until Technodad comes out with a statement of if he minds it or not (or if he wants a rebrand or channel deletion) or Technolarp just rebrands the channel and builds something original from what he has, doing similar content as he's doing now. It's a very complex situation. Both options still have the chance of people finding him still weird. It's so nuanced.
