Also fun fact. Another person mere months prior to him in the very same circle of Youtube, someone actually beloved by basically everyone and someone hes talked about watching several times, actually lost a battle with cancer. It was presumably what gave him the idea, so the scumfuck bastard faked his death for money after an idol of his actually croaked. He is genuinely subhuman.

What he fucking deserves.

>> No.74944499

>>74943715
This is the part that's most confusing.
Unlike Jerma or Ster or basically any other old name who used to play TF2 but now barely does, Sonny didn't want to transition to a new type of content. He wanted to STOP making content entirely. Literally all he ever had to do was just say "I'm feeling burnout and wanna/might quit" and nobody would have batted an eye, there's millions of Youtubers like that. But instead he had to add his name to the annals of history as one of the relatively few who've faked a death for... no discernable reason? And even came back himself for also no reason? People were breaking their backs bending over backwards to rationalize his steam account coming back as him "gifting it to a friend after his passing", and that was seen as a completely believable.

The man is just baffling to me. It's hard for me to see him as a person in the emotional sense of him being someone who spits on graves of people he "likes" for money, but I also can't see him as a person in the sense that his mind is a genuine enigma because he had a perfect getaway but instead decided to ruin his own fame. And then come back as a Vtuber 2 or 3 years after his reveal that he faked it all. It's like robbing a bank and then turning around and walking right back in: it just doesn't fucking make sense.

I understand that people can not be smart, but this is just a whole 'nother level beyond any form of understandable autism. If he wanted positive fame then he had it when he "died" and was immortalized as a better youtuber than he ever truly was, if he wanted negative attention then he had it when he resurrected from the dead and people all but called him a faggot, and if he simply wanted to go back to normal life and not be a content creator anymore he had it both when he first left and when he stopped for a few years post-comeback but pre-niji.

Archive of his channel (February 26 2015) showing the support button was there way before he ever announced it
https://web.archive.org/web/20160505074409/https://www.youtube.com/user/sketchek
He removed it sometime in late 2015 or early 2016, right after he left, probably because he realized he didn’t want people sending him money while he wasn’t making content
The support button feature was added to Youtube in late 2014, he probably added it then. It’s even sillier to assume he put it there for the death thing since it was for yen and he never advertised it or talked about needing money

Or maybe it was never that important to him and he never thought to remove it until then. My whole point is that people claim that he added this feature when he announced his “illness” when that’s misinformation and there’s no clue to the idea that he was trying to scam people with it since it was a commonly used feature that he added at least months before.

I honestly don’t care if you think any of that I’m just calling out misinformation when I see it
The guy had it up for at least months before he announced the illness, almost everyone on Youtube had one since it was rolled out late 2014, he labeled it as if he was only asking for yen, and he never put any promotion towards it nor did he ever allude to needing money. To think that this was a scam even if it was left up for a few months after he left, possibly because he probably forgot about it altogether, is stupid. If anything you could say it was immoral of him to accept the money if he even realized he was still getting any, but it’s not some calculated scam and the fact that he even ever removed it so shortly after leaving makes me doubt that assessment even more so

I just realized google wallet, which was required to have to receive money from fan funding, and fan funding itself wasn’t available in Japan at the time he set it up.

It was by definition not a scam, I don’t understand how anyone can insinuate this. There’s more indication towards him just turning it on when everyone else did, maybe he wanted some extra cash for his Japan trip since he was asking for yen. When someone actually wants money to scam people they open a whole patreon and beg for it or make allusions like he needs money for his medical bills or whatever
At worst the only thing you could argue was that it was shitty of him to continue to accept the donations, but there’s no proof that he didn’t even remember it was on since it’s not something youtube would notify you of and he couldn’t even use whatever money because of the stupid Google Wallet thing (which is also what donors would’ve had to use to donate in the first place)

Wait wait wait.
So you're telling us that Sonny set up his donations when he was in Japan at those specific points in time, and he could have only done it in Japan because Youtube determines what donation "must be donated to you" (as if exchanges don't exist lol). So when he went to Japan he had an eye-opening experience that made him decide he no longer wanted to make anymore TF2 content, he had that moment in February of 2015 the latest.

He did close it. It is 100% in the realm of possibility he just left it up for a while because he forgot about it since they don’t notify you of any payments and he was busy fucking around in Japan.

It’s not that you could actually only send him yen (probably) it’s that it seems like HE only wanted yen, because you could either have a default generic description (just look up videos on fan funding) or you could have a custom one, and he edited it to just have the yen symbol. My theory is he just set it up before he left Japan, forgot about it, and that it was never related to him faking his death

I did read it, and it only further confirms you're completely braindead. He had donation avenues open: how many top-earners do you see saying "prease donateru"? None, because saying it doesn't matter, it's the potential to donate that matters. If anything people begging for donations make less.

Two different arguments at play here, anons are arguing that Sonny is a bad person citing him faking his death whilst having donations open, knowing accepting money under that pretense. Being inspired to take this path because of the real death of a peer. The counterargument is that Sonny is not a bad person because no one was really scammed due to extenuating circumstances revolving around the logistics of his donation mechanism and that it wasn't intentionally thought out as a scam. I honestly don't think money was his primary motivator but it would be a "it's nice to skim some extra cash on the way out". Did he ever attempt to return the money he received? That's probably the defining factor on whether he is a malicious soul or just a dumb kid, which is the central argument here right? If he made no attempt to return the money after the fact, that kind of says it all about whether he's a scammer or just a dumb lad right?

Did he make an attempt? Just a broad "hey I'm sorry about what happened, if you donated money and want it back, please let me know and we can try work it out" tweet would've been enough. Intent is important here in grasping someone's character. Dude faked his death inspired by the actual death of a peer and apparently that's an accepted fact. So the onus is on him to right his wrongs if he's not a malicious person. The "ignoring past history and never taking responsibility for previous bad actions" is the default content creator move so I won't pretend I'm shocked if he just moved on as if nothing happened. But it would still make him a trash person and a scammer by definition because it passes from the realm of honest/careless mistake into the realm of "willingly creating a false pretense that leads to potential financial benefit with no intent to provide restitution after being exposed".

And I clarified the misunderstanding, but since you wish to continue I will lay out the timeline as clearly as possible. From December 2014/February 2015, the page was open according to >>74952127, and also according to the webarchive posts we can find proof of the November 2nd 2015 donation page existing, and sometime before May 2016 for its end at the latest. As for proof on when the videos started, there's multiple resources such as a Steam group or >Reddit threads being made saying "on June 30th 2015, he became terminally ill". Thusly, from February 2015 being the latest start to November 2 2015 being the earliest end, we have a span of 9 months of the donation being up, 4 of which since after his terminal illness began, possibly another 6 months maximum to the May 2016 date.

And to give the final nail in the coffin, I will address the argument of "but you cannot prove he ever recieved any donations!" with not facts, but a simple line of reasoning due to a complete lack of evidence for or against either claim, as comments were the only way to publicly show your donation back then and his have been shut off for likely a decade now. A certain member of the TF2 community by the name of Kitty had met a sad end merely half a year prior to Sonny's first admission of his faked illness, and the outpour of support said community member had received was a veritable flood. Multiple creators made videos showing their donations to charity in Kitty0706's name, tributes besides monetary were made, and even just a few years ago in 2020 a donation drive and recreation of his most famous work was made in his name. Even 5 years after his passing, he had made over 2,000 dollars in charity. Now I ask you, even though Sonny was never as beloved, with his illness happening mere months after... would you not believe that he too had received at least a single dollar over the course of those 9 months? Even a crumb? I believe it to be likely, and that is all one can do.

But now I end this post not with a tl;dr, but with a simple message to (you). I shall take my bow and bid you adieu. And always remember sister:

Why is it so hard to assume he just added the feature in December or February at the latest when it was added, left it because he was too busy fucking around in Japan to think about anyone donating, and then removed it when he realized?

He wasn't a teenager when he faked his death. He was an adult already.

Unironically, anyone who is actually a fan would know he didn't get money from YouTube donations because he has talked about this period in his life before. There's no point trying to change non-fan's minds because they already think he's either bad for faking his death or bad for scamming and stealing money from fans. Instead of hyperfocusing on that, why not focus on the fact that he got over $30k for his birthday (this includes his streamlabs which most of fans donate on instead of superchats) and yet he is the laziest vtuber in their branch. Now THAT'S criminal.

Weirdly, this shit never sticks to him. Big named YouTubers have talked about him, drama tweeters have too, and it never gets traction. Probably because he's yab free now and so it all boils down to: that was in the past, he said sorry, he's better and has moved on. If you want them to latch onto him, then there needs to be a current yab.
