Well, for one, calling people "braindead" is not behaviour that everyone can appreciate, either
I think I got misunderstood, I was referencing Kamiya's online behavior and the fact that some say it's based and some don't. Also I never implied you were part of that bandwagon and therefore never meant to call you personally braindead, hope that clear things up and sorry if there was any confusion.
The banner existed before the VA thing happened.
My bad on that one, I thought he started to call people insects only after that.
How anyone can call the man "based" because he got undeserved hate for a particular issue is beyond me.
It's really not that complicated and that's in part because he allows himself to be insulting to some people. I guess you're going to disagree but that's totally fine.
The thing purely resides on the fact that he handles his socials the way he wants in a manner that is sure totally weird and unusual, but he still does it because that suits him. It's based because it's really on the opposite of what a PR team would do.
From what I can see, he started to call people insects when he already stated his « rules » about not talking in english and stuff, and he got mad at people for not reading and just posting.
So I can definitely see how he could interpret that as a form of disrespect even tho I wouldn't feel the same way he does. I personally think I'm not one to say to somebody what they should interpret as respect or not, especially not somebody who literally lives at the other side of the planet. So sure, he doesn't seem « respectful », but maybe it's because he thinks that most people don't respect him that much either.
Now one would probably say that it's because of his insufferable rules or calling fans insects or it could be the opposite and honestly, I don't really care which started what, my opinion is that it's really not a big deal anyway and there's no really matter to feel insulted, but I can respect one's sensibility. Personally I don't even interact with the guy since he seems pretty heated, I don't want to translate each tweet he posts and I don't want to translate mines either. I'd rather avoid the fire than burning myself and blaming it for not being cold enough.
Tldr : He's based because he's « unusual » and basically says whatever tf he wants.
