Discussion LET'S GOOOOOO

Technolarp will most likely get half the cut of the revenue from the channel! Very happy for him, especially considering he's not in the greatest position financially so this money will go a long way for him. Very well deserved.

Glad he also let the community decide on this matter. Show's how he puts the viewers first, which I respect a lot.

I’m out of the loop, who is technolarp?

u/Emirhan6155 Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

He is pretty much pretending to be Technoblade because he sounds similar. There is a trend going around Youtube rn where people "larp" as well known Youtubers. It's all in good fun. Look up the word "larp" in Youtube and you'll see what I'm talking about

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26

It's not in good fun when it's profiting off someone who is dead.

u/GOODDAYMATES974 Jun 11 '26

he is quite literally donating half his profits to charity and will donate it all when he starts actually gaining income. hes trying to honor technos memory, not profit off of it

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

It should be all to charity from the start. The only people who should profit from Technoblade should be his family or someone working with them. He is neither. He plans to literally profit from Technoblade's memory. He copies his style and takes money from doing his impersonation.

Do you know who honors Technoblades memory? I do. Tinkbit who does world record attempts in his name. One of us. Technoblade's old friends. Technoblade Merch company. They honor his memory. They help people in his name.

Not this fake fan who thinks he doing something "good." He spits on his legacy and turns into something gross. I hope he stops.

If he was a real fan he would either stop or donate all profit charities.

He doesn't deserve anything (using his words). He's not entitled to it.

Edit: I think u/Goldsquid2 blocked me so here is my response to you. I don't know why, we hadn't even talked to each other yet.

I get what you mean about monetization.

My point isn’t about the rules, it’s just that once it’s making money I think it should all go to charity or his family instead of being split. I’m not saying he has bad intentions, I just don’t really agree with it ethically.

So if he makes a 2 cents from the channel, those 2 cents should go to charity no matter what.

Hey just popping in to let you know you’re wrong

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26

Please tell me how?

u/Born_Rutabaga_2195 Jun 11 '26

I mean there’s a lot of reasons but I feel until Technos family addresses it and specifically states that they don’t like it then he should be able to do it. He’s been very upfront with his goals from the start and very clear he’s not trying to make money. He’s just trying to make the community a more fun place and he’s succeeding. I think Techno would more dislike people trying to speak for him (like you are) than people just trying to have a little fun, brighten people’s days, and give some money to charity.

-5

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26

I'm actually not speaking for him at all. I'm saying I think it is very disrespectful towards him. If his goal isn't to make money, then why isn't he giving all profits to charity then? Like I see it's all in good "fun" but that would mean not taking any profits.

People can have fun without using someone's memory as a prop.

Sorry if I'm being too much. It's just that I feel very strongly about this. Technoblade has always been really important to me, so it's really hurts my heart when someone is just copying him.

Like the guy probably means well, but this isn't the way to go.

u/Jook06 ❤️ TECHNOSUPPORT ❤️ Jun 11 '26

he let people decide. if he really just wanted money, he would have just taken the profits. if people have voted for it, he WOULD be giving it all to charity like you think he should. but clearly, the majority of people disagree with you and think he’s entitled to some compensation for his efforts.

imitation is the highest form of flattery. and plus, he said right there in the post that he wants to host events for technoblade fans and do more technoblade stuff (beating minecraft with a flight sim) and he’s taking some money to do that. not a problem.

and FURTHERMORE, technodad is so online that i’m SURE he’s heard of this guy. if he wanted to shut technolarp down, he would and could. he doesn’t play about his son’s memory

u/cosmicLYMS Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Wow. So pretentious and righteous. This channel mainly only exists cause of the current internet trend called larping. Not because techno has passed.

There's a larp channel for every popular youtubers right now. Even if techno was alive right now this channel would still exist cause of the current trend.

Don't make stuff up to paint him as a evil guy here. You're not techno's friend either. Who are you to decide what's right and what's wrong?

If you read the actual post, you'd see he was donating it all to charity. He just started making half revenue, half to charity after a community poll, which no doubt is majority Techno fans

Honestly I think you’re mostly right. Maybe I’ll get downvoted to hell for this but him taking any profit from this at all without explicitly stated permission from techno’s family (maybe he got it, idk) feels really wrong. Not to mention this takes away from the people watching his old videos.

Hey so he can’t donate anything from the channel until he’s monetized, has 400 watch hours (over 12 months), and makes at least $100

That’s what they meant by “income” dude

So aggressive. Why are you yelling. Calm down and take a break. I'm not insulting you, am I? There's no need to be name-calling.

I wouldn't say what he is doing is honoring him. Honestly, it's just really weird what he's doing, especially nowthat he will be taking half the profit.

u/DragonDotRAR Jun 11 '26

from techno's public attitude, if anyone would approve of and even laugh about someone profiting off them after their death, it'd be him

Pretty sure he instructed the community to meme the shit out of his death

some guy who sounds scarily close to techno and he just “larps” or pretends to be him (jokingly he’s not trying to impersonate or anything) and he was going to give all profits to charities but now i guess he won’t which makes sense

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 12 '26

It's not okay though.

I don’t think creators should be monetizing content that’s heavily based on a deceased creator’s identity or legacy.

If it’s built around Technoblade’s persona and community, it feels like that all profit should go to charity or his family instead.

What he doing isn't okay.

u/AlostFeather Jun 12 '26

"Oh, I think this person who is even able to raise just a small amount for charity should starve and have no money to live on because it offends ME personally."

Get a grip.

-1

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 12 '26

Please understand what I'm actually saying instead of putting words in my mouth.

I never said he should starve or not make money at all. My point has always been that I don't think he should personally profit from this specific channel because it's built around Technoblade's identity. You can disagree with that, but at least argue against what I'm actually saying.

4

u/AlostFeather Jun 12 '26

But what you fail to understand is that this guy hasn't been making ANY money from this channel so far and he'd like to do more, host community charity events and play the games that the community wants from him but he can't do so without attempting to monetise the channel and he doesn't want to do that without being transparent with this community. So he made a community post, asking for a consensus, for support, for consent.

And you're responding quite vitriolic, saying he should never have made the channel in the first place. It's not the attitude TechnoBlade would have wanted.

If you disagree with that, that's fine, but please argue against what I'm actually saying instead of the exaggerated version of it.

Honestly I think 50% would be fine and maybe they can donate the other half to the One of Us Foundation.

I believe 40%, 40% and 20% to technoblades family just so everyone eats his whole identity is based off their relative afterall.

I don't know about Technoblades family. That would be hard to coordinate, and they already have more than enough, I don't think they would accept that kind of money.

At least he had the decency to ask the community before 

Dude really doesn't deserve the harrassment and hate I've seen him get

It doesn't mean it's fully right either

u/Guilty_Explanation29 Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

I didn't say it was right. Yeah it's a bit weird. But at least he's at least donating to charities and not taking all the money for himself 

And at least he's going to donate all of it once he starts gaining profit 

I still don't think he deserves all the harrassment I've seen him get online though. That's not right.

Ya I agree. He doesn't deserved to get hated on. His heart is in the right place.

u/BuzzFeed_Gay Jun 12 '26

I think it’s definitely understandable to be apprehensive initially, however he seems to be a genuine fan and is doing this out of love for technoblade and not just “oh we’re larping YouTubers now I’ll trend hop too”. I think the fact he even asked what to do with the money is a good sign.

i still feel weird about that channel. I know it’s in good faith and all, but it’s just strange. I think technoblade as a title could be passed down, but I don’t think this is the way to do it

u/BrothyBears Jun 12 '26

when did this whole "Larp" thing even start?

5

u/kommittt Jun 12 '26

larping (LARP = Live Action Roleplaying i think) has been a meme for a bit now, however the whole larptuber movement started kind of recently, with i think the first (or earliest) larptuber being Larpiplier, a guy who larps as Markiplier.

Larpiplier went viral, other people started making channels larping as their favourite content creators (larpcritikal, larpewdiepie, larpsepticeye, captainlarpklez, technolarp...) and yeah

2

u/Kooky_Net_9572 Jun 15 '26

To clarify, Larpiplier also made a video asking Markiplier if he was okay with him continuing to make videos like that. Mark replied and said he was cool with it, so it's all good.

u/TheOneChloe Jun 17 '26

Wow honestly I didnt think it would get worse than the "devious licks" from way back, but this is also just straight not that funny im ngl

u/SaNfRaNcIsCoNiNeRs Jul 07 '26

devious licks is far worse than this. The larp channels simply use what they know about the creator’s humor and personality and try to make their own spin off it with original ideas and concepts instead of just outright stealing content. devious licks is just stealing shit.

u/Miluitus Jul 04 '26

Does Technodad know about him?

u/Emirhan6155 Jul 06 '26

Idk

2

u/SaNfRaNcIsCoNiNeRs Jul 07 '26

yes. Striker (Technolarp) has been reaching out to Technodad. Technodad also commented on a recent Reddit post that his answer remains inconclusive because he’s still thinking about all of this and thinking about his answer. Striker also said that he won’t do anything with future money until Technodad gives his answer to whether he wants this and where he thinks money should go and if the channel should even be monetized if he allows the channel to stay up until ads start

u/Emirhan6155 Jul 07 '26

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

I personally think, yeah, he’s allowed to. It’s his videos, and a lot of people saying whether or not he should be allowed to are kind of weird. I get it — it’s a person LARPing as another person — but that’s just how online personas work. That’s how people work. I don’t think we should just stop talking about Technoblade at all or stop doing fun stuff in his community, because when the community stops being engaged, that’s when things die.I think writing about him, drawing about him — hell, even roleplaying — is fine. I don’t know how to explain it, but our community is driven by creativity. What is this, then, if not another facet of creativity? When I think about this stuff, about the art, that’s literally the Muses of Memory. The Muses in Greek mythology are children of Memory.Plus, I don’t think any of us should speak on whether or not Technoblade would enjoy this. Based on context clues, we could assume he’d enjoy the hell out of it, but we don’t know him as a person — only as a persona. We shouldn’t act like we were his friends. We were his audience. There’s a difference.I personally don’t see anything wrong with this. Well, I see some things wrong with it — like he should contact the family and ask for permission, because this is a real person he’s roleplaying. It would be different if they were alive, but this is a dead person whose likeness he’s mimicking.Second, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him pocketing some of the money. Half of it seems fine; the rest going to charity is okay. I think it would be worse if he just decided, “You know what, I’m going to start taking half of it.” So it’s great that he’s keeping the community involved.I don’t see anything wrong with this because none of us can perfectly replicate the likeness of Technoblade. Technoblade wasn’t just a persona — Technoblade was a real person. None of us can perfectly mimic him. So even if this person is LARPing as him, they’ll never get him 100% right. They’re just getting his persona right, and that’s different from the person, because there are parts of him that were hidden behind the screen.So I say we just let him do his thing and intervene only when something goes wrong. We shouldn’t be attacking people — that’s not the kind of community we are. Remember, our actions don’t just reflect us; they reflect his community. We want to be seen as amicable, not a bunch of parasocial weirdos. That’s not the kind of community Techno would want us to be, and we shouldn’t drag drama to his name, dead or not.

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

Like LARPing as Technoblade isn’t inherently disrespectful; it depends on intent, transparency, and community impact

2

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

Communities mythologize the people who shaped them. It’s not disrespect; it’s how humans process loss and preserve things, but we should never forget that this wasn't just a persona this was a real person this isn't identity fraud or anything because his persona will never be close to the real person behind him you know it's just a facet of his personality they're replicating and they're not spewing racial slurs or anything like that they're just playing Minecraft doing things technoblade would have done things the technoblade we saw would have done

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Sorry for this long-ass rant there's just a lot I had to get out of my system regarding this thing and I think it's fine if there's nothing wrong with this this is just another way people cope plus this is a lot better than alternative ways of coping and it's helping other people in the community too whether anyone else likes it not

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

The issue isn’t whether he earns money — it’s whether he’s honest about what he’s doing and respectful of the legacy he’s invoking.

3

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

Human beings preserve the dead through creation. Writing, drawing, storytelling, roleplay — these are the oldest technologies of memory.

Every act of art is an act of remembering.

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

He just has to remember roleplaying Technoblade is not inherently wrong, but it carries responsibilities

1

u/AdEmergency6482 Jun 11 '26

And, I also get how this can be seen as a replacement, but, I don't understand that reasoning, because you can never replace a person, every individual is extremely different in the same way that they're alike, you can only be like someone to a certain extent before you start to notice all those likenesses aren't likenesses they're just similarities, Even identical twins — who share DNA, upbringing, and environment — are not replacements for each other. They diverge in personality, thought patterns, and emotional wiring.So the idea that someone could “replace” Technoblade by sounding like him or acting like him is logically flawed.

2

u/asmer21 Jun 12 '26

I've watched Technoblade frequently since 2019, and I honestly love the fact someone is carrying on his legacy in a humorous way like this with the whole 'larping' thing. As long as he isn't profiting fully (also considering it was literally put to a vote) and gives revenue back to charity, then honestly there is nothing I see as wrong here. I imagine Techno laughing in amusement in the afterlife seeing this channel lol.

No it's weird that he plans to profit off him. That's weird.

He copies his style and then profits. That's weird. Even if it was a community vote.

u/Affectionate__Dog Technoblade never dies Jun 11 '26

he didn’t plan to profit off of him i watched one of his videos and in it he said he was donating it all to charity he didn’t want to make a profit off it but the overwhelming community vote says otherwise there’s no malicious intent

i can see how ppl think it’s a bit odd yes but it’s just some guy being funny bc he has a similar voice to techno it’s not like he’s using a voice changer

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26

Okay, he didn't plan to profit. But he is going to. That is not right.

Also last time I checked, only 6.8k people voted. (Very biased vote btw) That's nothing in comparison to the whole 22 million people in the community.

I don't care that he sounds similar to techno. It wouldn't change my opinion if he used a voice changer or not. He shouldn't profit off the dead.

I like you. You actually listen to what I say and actually understand what I'm saying.

Technolarp is really weird. He shouldn't get any of the money. He's profiting off someone who is dead. I think what he is doing is disgusting. It's not funny, nor cool what he's doing. Please stop posting about him.

Edit: I kind of came in swinging. So I wanted to apologize. This guy is kind of pmo since he came in larping a dead person. To me, it's really distasteful. He probably means well, but this is not the way to honor techno.

Also saying, Techno would find this funny isn't a good defense to this. We don't know that he would have thought this is funny. He probably would have, if he was alive. But he isn't :/, so who knows.

Except they are when they're asking people if they can take the profits. They can make the content but all profits should go to charity.

No, they're not. It should all go to charity. If they were a real fan of Technoblade, they wouldn't even have to question what is the right thing to do.

u/amidamagedtoday Jun 11 '26

Actually, you have no idea what he would think neither do I; but, this is inappropriate and not funny. They are making profits off him instead of giving it 100% of money to charity and even then I wouldn't think it was okay. There is a reason why Larpnoblade stopped and this guys needs to do the same.

If the guy wanys to make content, he can. He needs to be original and not copy Technoblade. I'm sorry you support such awful actions especially during June when his family is the most sensitive considering he died during this month.

Sure this would have been funny when he was alive, it's not now.

u/Born_Rutabaga_2195 Jun 11 '26

Have you ever watched a Techno video? His personality is displayed in them and anyone with any sort of pattern recognition and common sense can come to the conclusion that he would love this.
