Scoots may deny it, and he may damn well believe it, but it's more than obvious that being Nolan's eternal shield has affected him in one way or another. Just take Proctor's stream, for example - when he called in, I was half expecting to hear Nolan coming out the other end, finally rising up to confront le evul bullies and give them what for... except the total opposite happened; Scoots came off as an average forum autist who was just happy to be there and whom I don't think anyone would object to having a chat with over some drinks. He didn't even allude to Nolan at all despite him being discussed earlier. Fast forward to Kirsche hoping into the call; scoots has long since left and only chats in the call in server(? group? I don't know. discord's confusing and gay) here and there. Then, the topic of Nolan comes up; Proctor gives his admittedly lacking summary and Kirsche offers her take, we move on. A while after they had already moved on from mentioning Nolan at all, Scoots, either prompted by the EVO champ himself or out of the misguided kindness of his heart, felt the burning need to tell Kirsche that Nolan's incident regarding his sister was just "normal sibling squabbling" and that he felt oh so bad about it (despite Nolan himself admitting to being a repeat offender. Though I'll give Scoots the benefit of the doubt and assume he hasn't seen the logs yet) . When she didn't acknowledge this, he pinged her. When that didn't work, he asked to be allowed on vc once again to defend Nolan's good name. When that too went ignored, he pinged Proctor, once again pleading to be let back in the call. No one else in the group other than superduper acknowledged it either. Once again, I must stress that they had moved on from the topic of Nolan at this point. It was, in all honesty, hard to watch. Thankfully he stopped after superduper's support got
'd twice, so autism didn't win that day. Praised be Allah.
Now, this is not meant to be an indictment of Scoots character or behavior - even if that little episode was hard to stomach - but an example of how he seems to blindly and willingly deprive his brain of any and all sources of oxygen whenever Nolan comes under fire (which, as we've discussed, is his own fault 99% of the time). It's fine if he considers him a friend and doesn't want people shitting on him, deservedness be damned - as scoots himself has admitted to being the case - But to put on such a display, on a stream no less... @Scoots , you're too nice for your own good. You're better than this. Nolan shat the bed and hung a neon sign over the pile. it's not your job to clean while everyone else just laughs at the retard who shat the bed. At that point, it's just as retarded to try to pretend it's okay that he shat himself as you desperately scrub the mound of tard filth.
