Expressing his disbelief at those who defended the YouTube fan channel owner, the streamer remarked:
"I cannot believe there's anyone that's defending him. Yeah, you can farm the hate-watching people. That's fine. Whatever. I don't care. But outside of those people, how do you even agree with him?"
Erobb221 also stated that he wanted people to make videos about him and was unconcerned about them making money from the content:
"Like f**king LimeLights (another YouTube fan channel) can make all the videos he wants. I don't care. I want people to make videos. Like, make your bag, I don't care if you make money off of me doing that s**t. It doesn't matter to me. But don't threaten to f**king sue me."
