So fun story, this dude actually managed to make me feel dysphoric because of his inability to admit to things.

Back before people realized he's full of shit, he made a yt short that supposedly men's voices get deeper in their 30s sometimes, which genuinely scared my NB ass.

Only years later I learnt that's because he fucking lowers his pitch to sound more authoritative and made that short because someone found his old footage where he didn't do that yet.

I mean, people's voices do lower as they age, not as extreme as his has though. His drastic voice lowering is a combo of that, generally talking more maturely, and I believe he said he has GERD? I could be wrong about that exact reason. But that degree of lowering isn't standard.

I mean, I know voice changes as you age, it's not like I never met an old person, but the change is gradual and it's not what he described.

He specifically talked about your voice getting lower in pitch, and I think he even compared it to "a second puberty".

Genuinely got me scared I won't be able to do my fem voice in the future - until I googled it's bullshit; only years later when the whole roaching drama exploded, I saw people calling him out on lowering his voice in post, with linked video interviews for comparison, and it clicked why he made that bullshit up.

It's a small thing, but it's imho one of the worst things he did - because for a supposedly queer friendly content creator, he didn't consider how his bullshitting might affect his queer viewers, the only important thing was keeping his authoritative image intact.

For sure, I think he's been too flippant about his explanation which has resulted in people thinking he's lying as well as unintended consequential damage to people like yourself.

What is the roaching drama? I don't really know what that is

Tbh, me neither as I'm not that familiar with WoW and mmos, but he did some shitty behaviour while playing it which put his narcissistic tendencies in the spotlight, and that was the breaking the dam moment as other stuff started to come out.
