I believe him, since almost everything else he's done has been one dumb bit or another, though I'm still glad he hasn't carried the Sibylla thing over to the new channel. Even if he's just doing it as a joke I feel his brand of humour along with things involving minors could invite Sharty-tier wannabe edgelords who'd take it too far.
The dude can be genuinely funny in an absurdist sense so I'm glad the main thing's cleared up, at the very least.
