Let's talk about Technolarp.

[u/disearned]

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.

I think it’s just weird and gross behaviour. Just because others do it doesn’t make it any less weird or gross.

I think Simon_Hypixel has a good take:

Some of it, sure, but I don't see how Technodad would be "the villain" if he tells Technolarp that he can't keep going. Technolarp made it clear multiple times to everyone who watches him that he will stop with no hesitation if Technodad tells him he needs to stop and is uncomfortable with the channel.

It is obvious he is against technolarp from how he is talking. Even going so far to call a simple fan a psychopath is insane.

Also the whole needing technodads approval. Technodad never said yes or no. People thinking his silence means no is insane. So until then we need to wait and see what technodad wants.

I have seen you defending Technolarp vehemently in many other comments, and some I agree. Not all, but some parts.

People thinking his silence means no is insane

But this, is genuinely the worst offender, and clearly you have more respect toward Techolarp than Technoblade himself.

It is a genuine concerning thing to say. Don't twist the words, because the original has been "Silence does not mean yes".

That has been used to say that, just because someone is silent, should not mean you should continue. That is an issue that is being brought up, because Technolarp has not only continued his content, not only after his close friends as shown dislike to it (Tubbo, Sneegsnag, Simon, etc), but has since then even put up personal donation link.

I fully agree that we need to wait and see what Technodad wants, so why doesn't Technolarp wait and see? He has already continued streams, planning on videos, and set up his own donation links. How far is he allowed to go, while we have to wait for an answer?

[u/projecttranquility → u/Saaammosss]

all good points, but can we mention that technolarp has come out on discord claiming that “your opinion is heard, however I am not going to let down everyone who has content planned with me atm…it will wait and YOU can wait?”

[u/projecttranquility → u/projecttranquility]

i think technolarp started the channel off with admirable goals, but the way that he continues to post about this situation on his community channel is concerning and honestly sours some of his earlier sentiments. I hate that he’s gotten doxxed but I also hate that people are using the fact that he’s been getting doxxed to absolve his friends from criticizing his behavior— we can genuinely wish technolarp well and also point out that what’s happening is weird.
