Part 5/11:
Further fueling the controversy, Pascal's interactions with fans and critics have been described as dismissive and mocking. One supporter, a streamer and moderator named Steph, shared a screenshot of Pascal mocking her after she circulated the post and a video commentary criticizing his remarks. Pascal’s response was sarcastic, further polarizing opinions.
Critics accused him of appealing primarily to a young, impressionable demographic characterized by profile pictures of fictional characters and pronouns in bios—an observation some interpret as a commentary on the nature of his current fanbase. This demographic, critics argue, lacks the maturity to engage in nuanced political discourse, and Pascal’s rhetoric is seen as encouraging mob mentality and tribalism.
