This seems mesmerizingly easy, yet unreachable for the haters.
There are other reasons to watch his videos.
And someone could say to his fans “If you don’t like the thread then don’t read it.” Yet some fans will post here anyway. The only response to that I’ve seen (from his fans) is the suggestion that Trooper needs some white knights in here to defend him.

Trooper leaves clothes on the floor of his apartment and the reaction is "aw hell no, this **** must be stopped, pitchforks and torches man, this guy is out of control".
I haven’t seen that harsh of a reaction from anyone. The harshest reaction is probably from people laughing at him for that.

Now, before you think I'm just arguing with you (I'm not) I'd like to point out that I understand the clothes on the floor thing is just another trigger because they don't like the things Trooper does and says, fair enough, but how people looking past Boski shilling for ACR yet getting uptight over clothes on the floor during videos from someone they don't like to watch in the first place is actually kinda fascinating.
I think what Boski does is irrelevant. Trooper should be judged on the things he does, and not on anything that Boski does.

I don't care for Star Wars, but I don't go on Star Wars forums and constantly bash the movie. Does that make sense, even a little?
I understand the point you’re trying to make, but a problem with analogies is the situation can still be too different. You’re talking about a situation with people feeling indifferent about Star Wars. With Trooper some people really like him and some really dislike him. Some also watch him for the trainwreck factor, and he does try to provoke his haters. He was complaining about haters when he had less than 400 (maybe even less than 300) subscribers and he probably didn’t even have haters yet.
