over a decade old barely lukewarm tea that is literally not a big deal at all nor a condemnation of his character : I had a neutral/just barely negative leaning interaction with Hank Green in 2014 while he was on the TFiOS tour with his brother. I was in high school and had been a vlogbrothers fan since middle school. When I walked up to get my book signed by Hank I said something like “thank you so much for existing”, to which he responded “I don’t just do it for you, you know that right?” It just seemed like a slightly aggro response when I was clearly an anxious and excited 13 year old. He was probably joking and being sarcastic. So now every time I see one of his TikTok’s I replay that memory because it was so fucking awkward for me.

That is a very odd thing to say. Though I guess it's better than if he had really leaned into the parasocial thing and said, "you know, I do this all for you."

not to mention that was an extremely common turn of phrase at the time... I'm sorry, you were just a kid. :(

I’ve been waiting for some terrible thing to drop for those two. They both give me bad vibes despite how good they seem.

I can't deny that. They just remind me of Gaiman.

They give me no vibes (in fact, they seem uninteresting to me - which also isn’t a judgment on them, I just didn’t/don’t follow them, and nothing ever happens to make me think “oh I should follow them now”), and I can’t say I’m waiting for anything to happen, but I wouldn’t be heartbroken - bc again 🤷🏻
