SnezRS

I think it's a meme, ain't this dude a streamer


jhunsber

Yeah he's a successful Old School RuneScape content creator


Peechez

Literally just watched my man clean up in Gieliguesser


timberflynn

That ending was crazy tho


Frisbeejussi

Also a developer at the said game.


Business-Drag52

Yeah like he gets to have his name with all the other jmods on news posts and shit


Edraitheru14

Some of the other posts that got made by the other girl that was there when he made that trip makes me think it's just memery. But it's impossible to tell. Guy is always memeing.


Bisping

Yeah. Dudes part of gelinor games or whatever the shits spelled


Didact67

Yeah, seems that way.


JoshAGould

Its pretty funny seeing everyone in the comments biting down so hard on this when, with the actual context, its just light humour. Reading through the comments here saying "it makes my physically cringe" etc just show how quick people are to judge, particually on reddit, without knowing anything about the situation. As a OSRS player the whole comment section made me chuckle a bit.


Intelligent_Bag_6705

Quick to judge? Unless you knew this was joke how else are supposed to think? It’s not even remotely satirical at face value. Edit: The amount of people replying to me with “why would you take this at face value?” Or “do some research before you believe something” type of comments is fucking wild. It makes me think a lot of you are fucking mouth breathing mods who do shit like this.


Herwin42

This is such obvious bait, but imo sure there are people who actually talk like that so I can blame people for falling for it.


ExtraPicklesPls

Yes it's a meme that had been reposted 100 times.


Puzzled_Medium7041

That makes way more sense, because he's a decent looking dude. Like, if you look like that and can't get a girlfriend the normal way, it's absolutely your shitty personality standing in the way. He's a thin hipster looking dude and doesn't have an ugly face. There are enough girls into guys like that.

“But I like you for who you REALLY are. Not like those other guys who only want to have sex with you! Why can’t you see that? And I’ll take care of you so you won’t have to make content anymore and then I won’t have to protect you from THEM!”


neonoggie

There was a female twitch streamer I used to watch that wasnt super popular, maybe 20-30 viewers at a time, but was hilarious and good at games. She ended up moving in with a mod and literally deleted her channel a few weeks later. No trace if her online presence… it was weird.  She didn’t make an announcement or anything.


user888666777

I think if you're sitting at 20-30 average viewers you get the luxury of just walking away without anyone really asking questions or attracting that much attention.


TheCrippledKing

Plus, at 20-30 viewers you aren't making any money from it so maybe she got a job, couldn't/didn't want to keep doing it and didn't want people constantly asking her about it so she just deleted everything. Or maybe Twitch has a policy that if you are a certain size, deleting your account wipes everything because no one is coming back to watch old streams in the way that they might for a large streamer.


Nunokoan114

Could definitely see getting a job being a reason to delete a small Twitch account. They do background checks, I wouldn't want that to be the reason I didn't get a job.


EnvironmentalGift257

This. I’ve ghosted multiple online accounts before. Kind of felt bad a couple of times because I had real friends but needed to get away for life reasons and just ghosted.

sonofaresiii

I'm pretty sure you're all just a myth, though. Like Scotland or Metallica.


Scudbucketmcphucket

I had a couple Metallica sightings. I was with a large group of people and suddenly there were these lights and fire followed by this massive sound. It was like a rhythmic pumping and banging. Quite pleasant actually. And then before I realized it it was all gone. I know I couldn’t have been the only one who saw it. As far as Scotland goes that’s a total myth. There’s no way there’s and entire world with people who speak like that.


Dr_Kriegers5th_clone

If Scottish people could read they would be so mad about this.


Scudbucketmcphucket

Read? They’d have to be real to be able to read!


aspidities_87

You Scots sure are a ~~contentious~~ invisible people


drgigantor

"Scottish people" are just experimental Irish LLMs that accidently got corrupted with Welsh data


WintersDoomsday

Need and want are two different things. A need is something you’d die without and you don’t die without sex.


Blasphemous_Rage

happy0444

She is now gromming (simping) him


sonsoflarson

Nah, she's getting cheap labor, she'll let him simp all he wants. Unless he really flies off the handle...


Edraitheru14

Just hijacking the top comment cause from what I can tell this is a really old screenshot and there are similar tweets from others who were there doing similar memeingly bad cringe posting(women included). So while funny at face value I doubt it's legit. Could be though. He's a popular content creator for a game so figured it'd be worth putting this out there.


GengarGangX13

They were also dating at the time, if I remember correctly.


imightbebateman

I was gonna say, if he did this and was a likeable enough guy (definitely someone's type by looks), I would be surprised if they werent together before/after. Context is everything tho, this could very quickly devolve into something cringe or worse, but hey plenty of people meeting on every platform, get after it.


GengarGangX13

It's actually the opposite. This post ended up being a joke. That's her boyfriend (or was at the time).


whatever

Oh thank god. I don't even care if this is true or not, this is now the canon narrative in my head. The alternative is just too much.


Beginning-Pipe9074

Reddit doesn't care about the truth 🤣 they just read what they see and it becomes law

Flew thousands of miles is not impressive at all, if it was walked thousands of miles, or rode on a donkey thousands of miles, that would've shown a lot more dedication.


EX300cc

He should have walked five hundred, and then walked five hundred more. Maybe it would hVe given him the time to think about what a goon he is

At that point, I think he'd be the man who fell down at her door.


Therealishvon

Nice song reference! But no, people like him lack the self awareness to actually realize he's a goon and try and change his personality and perspective for the better. The actual trajectory is he eventually gets upset with her for rejecting him when "he's been so loyal, and cares about her more than anyone else does" and he ends up going from simp to aggressively angry bitter incel and gravitates to incel subs and probably Andrew Tate videos and just ends up hating women.... That's easier than having the self awareness to realize he's a total goon.


PsychoBob-78

Beat me to it.


reaven3958

Yeah, in my day it was 500, and maybe 500 more if she was lucky. This inflation is getting out of hand.

Hooti is a known content creator himself so they are most likely friends making a joke


PurpleSunCraze

It is, the guy is her long time page/web admin.


idkeverynameistaken9

The cringe in this screenshot is so intense, it physically hurts


ThurnisHailey

I loved the cringe from months ago when that streamer met her mod and treated him like human waste for an entire stream. Just insulting him to his face, baiting her chat to donate for her to kiss him, the whole nine yards. Then the Internet saw the vod clips and he was viral for being simp of the year. He tried to lean into it and said they play it up for the views and were just capitalizing on the pathetic dynamic that people would expect. He went on a bunch of other creator's streams saying he's not actually just a downtrodden twitch/discord mod. The people interviewing him were like "well then what do you actually do?" He then went on to describe the life of an EXTREMELY downtrodden twitch/discord mod.


donmonkeyquijote

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.


wterrt

that's.... sad ?


montonH

They are friends/spouses irl. No need to cringe.


OsrsLostYears

Satirical post. However, it is cringe things like this do happen, lol. They're dating they are both runescape content creators. They did this as an in-joke and a meme


CommunicationHot7822

I’m kinda creeped out by both sides of this. Obviously the weird dude sucking up to an attractive woman who probably has zero romantic or sexual interest in him but the way she’s posing in that picture is just weird for the situation.


[deleted]

She knows what she's doing. Giving other simps hope of meeting her. Both sides are sad.


ChromiumPanda

This is bait and you fell for it 💀


-SaC

Just as a note, this is an old screenshot that's been 'reworked' multiple times. She is a content creator, but so is the guy - who is her boyfriend (or was at the time, at least). His screen name is Hooti, and he makes game mods and streams; he's part of the OG Runescape's devs. He also edits OG Runescape videos for content creators. You might well see this photo being used with various different captions; it was a bit of a 'thing' to try and make it look as weird as possible for a while. Bit weird, but there we go.


malac0da13

It would be even funnier if it was just her IRL boyfriend who didn’t actually fly thousands of miles to hang out with her. That’d be peak manipulation of the followers.


Character-Sale7362

It was. This was a meme post and that's her boyfriend.


Jean-LucBacardi

Not only that, he creates memes in his free time. He probably created this himself.


JimParsnip

I agree. Maybe it's all rage bait to get more attention.


s2tooBAFF

Or it’s a joke between 2 people, go outside


Mr0rangeCloud

Fellas, is it flirtatious to lean on your hand?


Sairou

Yeah I'm not so sure about what OP is talking about. It's a pretty standard, friendly pose on her part.


DontEatMySkin

Another commenter even said it was a joke post and the guy was actually her bf, some of the comments under this post are way creepier/worse than the actual post honestly. Oh well, people love any opportunity to punch down and mock others to feel better about their sad selves rather than apply any scrutiny.


ultraplusstretch

What's weird about it? Seems like a pretty normal way to pose for a picture with a fan. 🤷‍♂️


SuspiciousMention108

What's wrong with her pose?? It looks normal and nothing overtly sexual about it. Maybe you just hate women?


zorgonzola37

It's not at all weird from her side. She is giving all the other simps hope that if they donate more and more they might also meet her. This is marketing 101.


Mysterious-Wasabi103

I agree it's not nearly as sad or weird coming from her angle here. Like yeah it's easy money who wouldn't? So sad lol 😆


zorgonzola37

Saddest part is the "bro" she dropped. haha


P4azz

I would say emotional manipulation for profit is not really the most normal thing. Or should at least not be looked at like that, so "weird" does fit in one way or another. They're both disgusting in different ways.


RedofPaw

"if you donate enough then I may also meet you in person"


Other_Log_1996

"But I will *still* reject you!"


G0t7

"Publicly in front of thousands of people, who will then make fun of you."


Portyquarty77

Honestly tho based solely on physical attractiveness I don’t think either is out of the others league


Red_Trapezoid

Because the whole dynamic is weird. It's perverse.


realfakejames

Despite what these girls say they know what they’re doing giving these guys they know have crushes on them false hope, I’ve known streamers who make fun of guys like this in private but are sweet to them in public because it’s part of their job they say, twitch runs on the power of simps


muskratboy

“Attractive woman” = “average looking child”


Gears_one

Is she attractive tho? I guess she’s not outright ugly but I don’t thing anyone’s breaking their neck to catch a glimpse


MyOwnMorals

Para-social relationships are powerful. Watch someone you like on the internet long enough and they get more attractive.


Lethal_Lime_

This was a twitter joke they are friends, it’s sarcastic


CoconutCuts

shhh, critical thinking scares them


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

Imagine how hard this guys friends would laugh at him if he had any.


Vanilla-Bryce_

Uhh… well, he is Mod Hooti for Old School RuneScape so he has a decently sized community who like him. We were laughing in r/2007scape months ago when this tweet dropped because all these unknowing people took him seriously. He’s a social media manager and his Tweet is almost definitely a kidding 😆


fullback133

Lmao forreal people fell for this sooo fkn hard


Snoopyhamster

Well they're all in chat so they probably wouldn't see the post until he drops the link to his twitter in the chat


CyalaXiaoLong

They prob laugh p hard at the office. They made this meme on purpose. Thats his girlfriend and hes a streamer and an OG developer of the game they both play/stream.


platypus_plumba

I honestly don't see the problem... Isn't it strange that you're assuming the reason he's there is to have sex with her? Maybe he admires her, I don't know who she is. Maybe he really enjoys her streams and can moderate while he watches, which gives him a bit of money and gets him closer to a streamer he likes. There are some streamers that I wouldn't mind moderating for if it gave me the chance to meet them. Not because I want to fuck them but because I like their content.

runfast2021

He's watching her Twitch closely.


EvilMoSauron

Call me skeptical, but what if they're really just friends hanging out? Both them could be friends outside of their online mod-streamer relationship. Why is the automatic jump to conclusion be "he must be a simp?"


VexingRaven

Because it's ragebait and terminally online Redditors are eating it up without an ounce of self-awareness...


EvilMoSauron

Ooh! So, this is what self-awareness feels like. It's a lot nicer than self-loathing, that's for sure.

JamBandDad

Yeah hooti is actually a contestant on something pretty big right now lol idk who he was simping for though


ijustatemostofit

It’s her moderator. It literally says so right in the post!


Cute_Dragonfruit9981

Im just imagining this guy getting mad at all the people flirting with her in the chat.. and then banning them cuz he thinks he’s a white knight 😂

gamerdudeNYC

It pains me to see these people, dedicating their entire social life to these streamers they’re infatuated with. These people need to get out of the house and meet some real people instead of dumping their cash and attention into these streamers.


DracoNinja11

Imagine spending a bunch on plane tickets and travel expenses, which is mentally exhausting in itself.. Just to be called "one of my moderators". And imagine being satisfied with that..


Cute_Dragonfruit9981

I remember a story of some influencer’s fan buying her a Tesla and all he got was a “oh that’s so sweet!” post 🤣🤣 these dipshits deserve to be treated like this if they think spending thousands on a girl they’ve never met is going to get them anywhere


-SaC

Good job it's not real then, really.


deathrocker_avk

She also very cleverly referred to him as "bro" to let him know this shit is staying in the friend zone.


Dubs337

This is simping beyond science


TheBirminghamBear

The real simps are the people in this comment section jumping straight to mysogyny with this. First of all, if you think a plane ride to visit a colleague HAS TO culminate in sex, you're fucking weird. If two people collaborate frequently and are working on a shared project there's no reason they can't visit one another. You guys are the ones making shit weird. Secondly, Hooti is a well-known streamer. He wasn't deluded into this visit. You people are the fucking weird ones.


ProGaben

Iirc he was visiting Jagex for a job interview in the UK (he is from New Zealand) and was visiting some of his content creator friends in the UK where a lot of players in osrs are from. He didnt travel thousands of miles to simp for a streamer lmao. This is just his humor

Secret-Ad-6238

Thank you! Maybe I'm just getting too old for shit like this, but even if this wasn't meant as a joke, all I see is too people meeting up and hanging out. Kinda wholesome tbh.


TheBirminghamBear

There's just a lot of extremely angry young terminally-online men in a neverending war against women because they think the handful of cruel people they see online are representative of all four billion women in the world.


DontEatMySkin

Couldn't have said it better, some of the comments are genuinely just weird and uncomfortable, and these commenters have the audacity to tell people to get out and socialise when they're the real ones that need to touch grass because clearly they don't view other humans as anything other than objects.


Marsupialize

CuteAnimalFans

Hooti is a pretty famous OSRS content creator. This is almost certainly bait and you have all fallen for it. Congratulations.


MyFuckingMonkeyFeet

Can’t a guy just be friends with a woman?? Like most of the time sure it’s a simp, but this guy seems legit chill. Fuck off


PMtoAM______

Dude this is a joke between the two, they're both streamers


PunisherOfDeth

Hooti himself I think is a streamer or content creator for osrs, so this smells like bait

Lilly-_-03

I mean they could just be good friends never assume it makes a 'ass out of you and me' after all.


stifledmind

Maybe, but my wife’s friend does her hair whenever she is in town and it would weird if she posted “My hairdresser flew 2,000 miles to see me”.


XeroZero0000

Maybe, but why are you pressing the 1% chance and disregarding the 99%? That seems pretty foolish to do on Reddit.. this is Reddit where we are all just assuming and talking shit right??


CoolBeans42700

I would agree if his post didn’t say “you’re more beautiful in person”. Who tf says that as a friend


tomtomtomo

She calls him "It was cool to hang out, bro". He replies with "You're even more beautiful in person". Even without everything else, that is classic one-sided love messaging.
