This guy is just playing a character at this point, assuming he was ever legit to begin with. I used to watch his stuff back when he seemed like he was genuine as watching his channel was like looking into someone's life. Everything was raw and unedited and he just said whatever random shit came to his mind. Then as his channel grew he started just making up shit or saying outrageous stuff just for attention. It became like a scripted soap opera, albeit a really weird one. He got exposed by Nobita ("Find your love in Japan"), who showed a screencap of his (HIMR's) discord where he outright said he was planning on making stuff up just to start drama with him.
I sort of feel the same way about Eggman, although not to such an extreme extent. Back in 2015-2016 he was a very blunt, genuine guy who was putting himself out there for all to see. He felt so relatable. But these days it's obvious he's faking a personality and he streams instead of making videos because he makes more money streaming. He's basically just another e-celebrity now, albeit one with just a small (albeit highly engaged) audience.
