A lot to unpack here
between the 5 discords for this show and the reddit it seems everyone is hyper aware of both The Stan/parasocial angle and ben's own animosity. this idea started around the "Ben's Mortgage" era and I don't think ben ever understood the whole thing was a troll, I doubt a single person was sincere in that. Ben has hinted that he's borderline being stalked right now But Im starting to wonder if it's legit all in his head
He goes out of his way to interact with the discord and read what people say here. Almost thinking the whole thing is some survivorship bias. But honestly he should just stop interacting with the fans at all at this point.
Iv'e noticed this a lot in my life with various people I've met. Always the super silly jokester who can seemingly not comprehend other people doing it.
