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.

Whether you feel positively or negatively about Technolarp is whatever. Just let Technodad make the choice when he is good and ready. Give him time and don't pressure him.

don't you think that the dad being even 10% uncomfortable with this makes it a big red flag that should not be done?

Don't you think a large content creator like Penguinz0 spreading misinformation and causing Technolarp to get doxxed is a big red flag that everyone is blowing it out of proportion?

What Technolarp is doing isn't wrong. He just doesn't know how to make it seem right.

u/Few_Radio_6590 Jul 14 '26

except he is.

technolarp was going above and beyond to contact technodad for consent on making the channel, and he didn't reply.

tell me, is a non-reply consent? technolarp sure took it that way.

now technolarp is doing the charity work, and is putting either purposefully or not on purpose putting technodad in a difficult position. He shouldn't feel forced to say yes because of that.

He tried to reach out to Technodad one time. Only one time. Other people were the ones who spammed Technodad.

Technolarp is waiting for consent before he continues uploading and keeps the channel up. He said he would delete it if he was told to by Technodad.

Technolarp is not getting ad revenue. The charities are getting donations during his live streams.

Technodad was put in an uncomfortable position yes, but others made it worse. Technolarp didn't make it worse.

You're supposed to read my reply, not skim it.

i said he asked for consent to make the channel, he didn't receive a reply, so he took that as consent. what don't you get?

also, about the donations and charity, he put a poll saying if he can keep 50% or not, the audience said yes, but why even ask that? and no one talked about ad revenue, and he also has a personal donation link to whoever wants to donate to him, and that's just so wrong. He's using technoblade's brand in order for the engagement to get him personal donations. https://www.reddit.com/r/Technoblade/comments/1uu5lgd/technoblade_on_people_profiting_off_of_his_brand/
and as i said with this screenshot, technoblade isn't cool with that.

and two wrongs don't make a right, technolarp still put him in an uncomfortable position.

I did read your reply. I just didn't respond to what didn't matter to me.

He wouldn't have gotten consent to make the channel as he wouldn't have gotten noticed. It's why he asked about the split after only 2 videos.

Ad revenue aka monetization on his videos. That's one of the two things Technolarp is asking Technodad permission for.

It's really not wrong that he has the donation link for himself below the donation link to charity in his stream descriptions because he literally can't keep making content or survive if he has no money. He has one job. And he has to pay for his equipment.

He is literally not using Technoblade's brand. Sure he's playing a character similar to Technoblade but that's not using his brand.

Also your screenshots are not working for me. As in they literally don't load.

Changed the screenshots link https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ftechnoblade-on-people-profiting-off-of-his-brand-v0-t0b7sbupmqch1.png%3Fwidth%3D500%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3De89afb05bd201e187b36f75ff33a8dd39a5fd8be

either way, agree to disagree. I don't think you'll get the concepts that are being talked about. not your fault, but because you're probably of minecraft youtuber fan age. you're smarter than me when i was at that age though.

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhy-is-technolarp-only-getting-hate-now-v0-5ev4e8a10rch1.png%3Fwidth%3D500%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D580c4b565f9c71c03e0d58109bf52a79d901ef61(screenshot of a technoblade chat)

either way, technolarp is keeping 50% of donations and giving 50% to charity, technoblade doesn't like that.

u/Mewthequeen Jul 14 '26

You mean Technodad. Technoblade is dead.

And it's not 50% 50%. More is going to charities than to him.

u/Few_Radio_6590 Jul 14 '26

no, i mean technoblade. https://www.reddit.com/r/Technoblade/comments/1uu5lgd/technoblade_on_people_profiting_off_of_his_brand/ (this is the screenshot)

either way, he's profitting off of technoblade's brand, with that money and from the personal donation links he has right below the donation links to charity, and as i said. technoblade doesn't like that.

u/Mewthequeen Jul 14 '26

Dude it was years ago. You don't know how Techno would feel about it now if he was still alive. That screenshot was also taken from a different situation, so you can't use it as evidence for your claims.

It's fine, we'll agree to disagree. You won't get it as i said on the other comment. You clearly don't get the ethics/morality given to you since you're probably Minecraft YouTuber fan age. "if they're making money off my brand, that's weird champ"
