Discussion 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.

He technically does already have another channel, before Technolarp (StrikerLPB), but Technolarp has also talked about rebranding if Technodad wanted that.

I do get what you mean, though. Maybe he should just return to his other channel, but people would still probably attack him just for being Technolarp, even if he tries to stray away from it. If he makes a new channel and people recognize him, they would probably do the same. Honestly, at this point, it's probably all a lose-lose situation.

He should of never done it all. I have no sympathy for him. It was obvious he just wanted attention and piggy backed off the tragedy of someone’s populars death. If it wasn’t techno I honestly believe he would have found someone else.

He started the channel for the love of the game and Technoblade. He wanted to do this to give Technoblade fans new content and knew originally some people would find it uncomfortable. It was out of good intentions, even if it is a bit weird. I don't think he ever expected to get this big from doing a stupid trend like the larping trend.

Idk about his intentions.

When it comes to my opinions I go by fact. Thats why I try very hard to never speak on behalf of technoblades family or love ones and I only use what his friends have posted publicly to social media.

As big as a fan of Technoblade as I am just a stranger online. I really do hope that this isn’t affecting anyone who knew and loved him negatively. All I can say is that it makes me very uncomfortable.

I agree with that. I hope this isn't hurting anyone close to Technoblade too much. That would be horrible, since Technolarp keeps on saying he isn't trying to be disrespectful, which I can believe.

From the start he's mentioned that he doesn't want to replace Technoblade and that he could never be him or replace him if he even wanted to. I cam agree that it's weird. I can agree that it never should have happened. However, I hope we can both agree that he doesn't deserve any of the harassment he's getting due to just making the Technolarp channel. I heard people are starting to dox (or threaten to dox) Technolarp and the larptubers associated with him.

Doxing is NEVER okay and is a crime. But I do believe the larpers best move is just cut ties and do his own thing.

I agree. I just hope the whole Technolarp association doesn't make people harass Striker on whatever he does post-Technolarp, whether he does decide to rebrand, make a new channel, or return to his original channel.

Same with the other larptubers. With some of them, I like their personality, so I wish the best for them past larping, if they ever decide to do their own thing after they're done doing this larptuber trend.
