i still don’t understand what his point was

"jeez louise" was such a gale reaction tho

I thought it was pretty clear that Rolan felt a huge responsibility towards Cal & Lia, and thought succeeding as Lorroakan's apprentice was the only way to secure their safety & future. So he endured the abuse while thinking it's a test. He's not an idiot whaat 🥲

he says as much immediately after too but neil was talking over him so he might not have heard it

won’t lie as someone who was poor and basically responsible for acquiring a higher education just to end up in a place where i felt like i had little support and most people didn’t understand my background…lmao what was he thinking to say this yt ppl know how to yap

rolan being a racial minority contextualizes his story in a way many white ppl are either ignorant of or not willing to talk about

circling back to call him an idiot too…uh…like i love this man so so much but this whole clip makes me feel icky and upset

yeah i'm not trying to stoke discourse or VA wank i'm just like. so confused what he was trying to say here LMAO

Why would he say this 😭 I’m sorry but that is such a careless remark to be making on a stream to such a big audience, my god.

I have so many thoughts and words, but one thing I'll say as someone who relates to the kind of abuse Rolan went through, my heart broke hearing Neil say that. No one is stupid for being abused and no one "lets" them abuse us. That's not how abuse is. I love Neil but do better.
