>>112317000I don't know much about this OneY guy (I know he? makes animations, that's it, I don't butt in artist personas), but if I knew him and knew for a fact he was one of those few who loathe the word and concept of "influencers", and actively told anyone seeking influencing him/their influence to go take a hike, I'd at least respect to sticking to their guns.
With nothing said it just feels like plausible deniability, I acknowledge it might be a bad move depending on whatever makes his fanbase, but I have no strong feelings one way or another, I learned people will be shit one way or another and a good excuse just enables them and gives them a scapegoat, the old "who are you in the dark" dilemma.
