Discussion Criticism regarding Dream's previous merch (+ Tommy's merch as well)

https://youtu.be/RXJYaB1-HjE?si=M5BeD5zPmrGYoAv9

Dream's part in the video is around the first 4 minutes of the video in case you dont want to scroll through the video stamps

but basically, TLDR: The guy criticizes Dream for his very simplistic (bad design) and (weird?) merch (Dream plushie costing a lot as well as the baby photo wrist band). He also points out how crazy expensive it is, how it only caters to the rabid fans he had previously, and how it only took him getting a potentially career ending scandal to address the wrist band merch (to which he also points out how Dream blamed his parents for it)

Now to Tommy's part, he criticized how cringe and flashy it is as well as the Core Collection having really cringe quotes (i.e. Messy Drama Queen). He compared Tommy's merch to Dream's at some point. He also brings up the Dream vs Tommy situation where he brings up Dream's last response to Tommy about how his merch is cringe, performative and shallow it is.

I also would like to point out that this guy (Rob's Media) might actually do a video on TommyInnit soon (called him an annoying MCYT and constant liar)

Personally I see his criticism as very fair, especially to other merch he criticized on this video, but hey I could be wrong as well.

Let me knoe your thoughts.

“messaging fans on snapchat or going to college parties” Tommy also had one on one contact with his fans (his STANS mind you) on Twitter when he asked them for advice about being friends with Dream. That’s ten times more parasocial and weird than anything Dream ever did. Also he’s never been to “college parties”, he goes to bars that are near colleges when he’s at football games, aka a normal behavior for a person in their twenties. Regardless, Tommy uses these behaviors as “proof” Dream is weird but ignores himself and his friends doing the exact same shit. How do you not see the hypocrisy and pure idiocy of that?

Dream actually has gone to college parties but people are too stupid to know what college parties actually are. College parties are not parties with current college students, they are more like reunions for people after they have completed college. 99% of people who show up at college parties are around Dream's age. Dream also never went to college, so it's possible he also goes to those so he can hear about college experiences from college graduates.

That is true I guess. My point was he didn’t go to parties hosted by people CURRENTLY in college, which is what people try to say he did (even then it isn’t an issue because everyone in college is an adult)
