RE: Technoblade being roleplayed by a YouTuber. This is horrifying, and I do not see it ending well. “I only answer to him” is an incredibly unfair position to put Technodad in. He is grieving, and any answer he gives carries major consequences. If he says yes, it could encourage thousands of others to do the same, creating even more pressure to accept this as normal. If he says no, he is forced to publicly confront someone using his dead son’s identity. He should never have been put in that position. And a future “rebrand” for the YouTuber would not fix this. If you build an audience by roleplaying a dead creator, then change your name once the backlash becomes too much, you still used that person’s identity, fame, and fanbase to grow your own platform. From the outside, it looks like an attempt to become a pseudo-replacement for the real Technoblade. I knew Alex before he had an audience. He helped us during the early days of Hypixel, spent time talking with our team, and was simply a good human being. He was the only creator we ever held a ceremony for when giving out YouTube rank. I also made videos with him, something I rarely did over the past 15 years. The week I learned that Technoblade passed away was also the week my first son was born. I remember holding my newborn and thinking about Alex (Technoblade), and telling my son that one of my friends had just died. That is how personal and painful this is for me. So yes, I am upset and angry. Watching someone roleplay as our dead friend while showing so little regard for his family, friends, and legacy is deeply disturbing. The leaked chats make it even worse. I have seen more than has already been shared. To me, this does not look like a tribute. It looks like exploitation. I can only imagine how the people closest to Alex are feeling right now.
