1. I have no idea and no interest in knowing anything of the sort.
2. Like him? No, not really. To be perfectly honest, there are few internet personalities I genuinely like, at least without a fairly long list of conditions. Just like in the rest of life. I need to, as a frequently tired introvert, limit my number of close relationships, so I've developed some fairly high standards (as a feely, perceiving person, they're fairly fluid) to be met in order to be genuinely liked. Or at least what I consider "genuinely liked." I appreciate his internet existence. To be perfectly honest, there are few internet personalities for whom I do not appreciate existence.
The thing about feely types (are you one?) is that they are not incapable of understanding logic. It does not confuse them. I am not confused by logic. It makes perfect sense to me. I just don't find it that convincing. I'm also not scared by logic, I don't give it enough power to scare me. Sheep, you are deceiving yourself. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's generally better to recognize one's own self-deception, I feel. Just like in the rest of life. I appreciate social interactions for the understandings they can afford me, but will not pursue stronger friendships with the majority of the people I meet or acquaint myself with.
Anyway, Pseudo isn't some god. He's just a person. Fragile like the rest of us. He should be treated as the equal he is, not as some superior entity. That is how I feel, no logic necessary.
I'm an INFP, by the way, if that clarifies things for you.

I'm perfectly fine with him being fragile. What I'm not fine is with him using it as an excuse to ignore other peoples feelings.
Hmp.

Savvy, how you feel about Pseudo now is understandable and unproblematic, in my opinion.
How you felt about him in the past, on the other hand, where you elevated him above yourself, was not, and is greatly contributory to the intensity of your current feelings, the way I see it.
If you had only treated him as an equal from the beginning, skeptical of his powers of insight and empathy, you wouldn't have experienced nearly the shock to find he has terrible flaws that are not just pitiful but personally offensive. The pity was in no way detrimental to the kind of deification that Pseudo has been allotted, but the offenses tear down the facade fairly quickly.
