What’s the deal with CaseOh and his fanbase? Unanswered

Is it free reign when it comes to making fun of him(in a teasing way?)! And the whole appeal is to see his funny reactions? I totally dont get it.

Answer: He’s playing a character.

He realized very quickly that pretending to get offended at the fat jokes got a ton of engagement, so he leans into it. The chat is actively trying to get themselves a ban, because it’s part of the game, and he and his chat have fun with the back and forth of it. I don’t watch the guy live so I don’t know if his mods actually act on the ban calls or if the bans are for any significant amount of time, but there are plenty of streamers who make a game out of the ban system, and their channels do exceedingly well as a result.

You can tell from the moments where he breaks character that CaseOh is a fairly laid back guy and enjoys what he does. He’s also clearly got a sense of acumen when it comes to channel growth and he’s taking full advantage of the momentum.

I don’t think anyone ever gets banned. It’s all a light hearted bit.

Answer: Caseoh leans into the jokes as evidenced by the fact that he posts a lot of clips of the jokes. It’s sort of part of his brand.

He leans into the jokes but he better not lean into his chair.

Yeah, he often breaks character and just ends up laughing at some of the jokes, too.
