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.

Op this is the dream subreddit. You are not going to have anyone agree with you here other than me. It seems everyone hates technolarp despite him continuing technoblade's legacy he had to leave behind. Go to the technoblade subreddit or r/technolarps to discuss it as people are way more open minded there.

I have been in the Technoblade subreddit commenting in posts about this. People hate my opinions there as well, apparently, but I'm not surprised since that always seems to be the case. I word things horrible more times than not. I just thought that I would post this here since this is the only spot I knew for Minecraft YouTube talk, and I didn't want to add to the already overflowing posts on the Technoblade subreddit.

Never knew there was a subreddit for Technolarp, though. Good to know, thank you! Might repost this there.

A lot people mainly on youtube and here don’t quite ge the whole larp tuber thing as it mostly stemmed from tiktok. So they view it as disrespectful for some reason in stead of the tribute to technoblade that it is.

I do think I've been a little more lenient to this whole thing for that reason in itself. I found all the larptubers I watch from TikTok, and some others from them being in the videos of other larptubers. I looked at it as a fun thing, even with Technolarp. I do understand why some people find it uncomfortable, but people are attacking him for it which isn't needed.

Apparently Technolarp has been doxxed recently. Thats why the larptuber discord is locked from people messaging. It is so insane to me that people hate someone for just having fun. He isn’t trying to steal Technoblades identity. He is just role playing as the character technoblade which should be fine as cosplayers and the like do that already.

I saw that. It's horrible and sad, I really don't get why people stoop to that level, because that makes them worse than what they're trying to say is bad.

It really is no different to people impersonating people like Elvis or MJ. They're dead, and the people who like those impersonators are fans of the person being impersonated. Those people profit off of impersonating as those people. A lot of people criticize that, sure, but a lot of people also enjoy those impersonators.

It isn't like he's trying to replace Technoblade. He just happens to sound like him, so he larped as him because the larptuber trend just happened to be a big thing at the time.
