Ik Ppl Keep Talking Abt Him But Scythe Audios Seems To Be More Interested In Pissing Off His Own Fans

Passages from audios that have stuck with me, pt. 2

Scythe Audio

"Think of a time when you achieved something that made you proud... think of that moment when you told someone that you looked up to, and their face lit up with joy. Or when you smiled to yourself with a feeling of fulfillment because of all the work you put into something. Think of it... what was it? Yes, child, you see? That head on your shoulders possesses one brilliant mind indeed. I'm proud of you for what you have achieved. Don't compare it to anyone else. Your success is yours. Revel in it." (Comforted by the God of recovery)

"What I have created, what I have been through- you think silly thoughts and paranoia would stop me? I'm not going anywhere, because there are still people out there who enjoy my work. There are still people out there that make art of my creations [...] I still have people saying how much of an inspiration I can be to them [...] and how my work has gotten them through tough times. [...] There is one thing I do have, and that's the loyalty and love of the beautiful and brilliant fucking niche community who are just as wacky and weird as I am! And that's just the way I like it. [...] If my work makes one of my wacky family smile, then I've achieved my goal." (The Reddening 6)

"Twinkle? It's been an honor to share a bit of time with one of my favorite listener characters. You are truly wonderful, and it brings me so much joy to know how loving and caring you are, despite the endless shit that you've had to endure- kinda like my audience! It won't get any better for a while, but I promise you one thing- you don't get any colder as a result. Your heart stays warm. It is in fact your warmth and kindness that will save you... and save us all. Goodbye, Twinkle." (The Reddening 6)

V kinda gives me so much like older sibling syndrome due to one of em is him always putting others first most than himself idk 🤔

Comforted by the God of Recovery will always be one of my favorite audios 🥰

Sorry I was late I was I going through my saved tiktok sounds and imagining redacted edits to them in made up scenarios

I watched Deadpool recently and I thought this exact thing! He'd love those movies for sure

I’m not saying V as Deadpool

but I’m saying V as Deadpool

the acting in voice acting is crazy because its the same dude and you KNOW LOGICALLY it's the same dude because he sounds like the same dude but no this blonde haired loser and this vampire slayer and this mafia bookie and your husband from the future are all different people to me when it's the SAME FREAKING GUY

I'm so happy you're doing okay now! We love you ❤️

I'm not going to be here for long If or when l'm gone l have my reasons and if l'm back what l tried to do didn't work

Binary out.

Yapping about Ash and Lexi

Did you notice! In Ashley's depression playlist, every song relates to his relationship with Lexi in some way and his stages of letting her go. When he's speaking to Denny's, the last song that plays before Risk by Metric is A Pearl by Mitski and the order was very intentional. Listen to them side by side and pay attention to the lyrics! You'll see both Ash and Lexi's mental progression play out between the songs.

The previous two songs that play before that (while Denny's is listening to Ash and Lexi through the door) represent Lexi's point of view. They are Don't Speak by No Doubt and Baby Teeth by Flower Face. You can see her perspective through there, and you're meant to empathize with her. It's the first scene where you see that under all her malice and her seemingly unbreakable confidence she is human and vulnerable and filled with regret. You start to understand why Ash had such a hard time letting her go when you see that there's more to her than the antagonistic and manipulative side of her that you've been exposed to. There are layers of unseen complexity to their relationship.

She really was a bad person, but she also really loved him. I might do a flashback sometime depicting them pre-breakup to examine her more. Her downfall came from getting a taste of the feeling that she possessed and controlled him, and enjoying the feeling of pushing the edges of what he would tolerate a little too much. When she loses Ash, she pretends not to care to uphold her image of control, but in private she grieves. When she greets Ash with a smile at the audition, she feels actual pain when he groans at seeing her, but she hides it to keep appearing confident and in control. She's terrified by the idea of someone taking her place by simply deserving what she wants more than she does. She cries in secret to the exact same songs Ash does and checks her phone waiting for a missed call or message from him that never comes. After their breakup, she grows and changes for the better, but it's too late and she still has to suffer the consequences and regret of loss.

Anyway I love Lexi. Partly because I have a soft spot for humanizing the glittery mean girl stereotype, but also because she's so ripe for character work involving becoming a better person just for the sake of it and not because you have anything to gain. She will be back in Thad's series playing a very different part in the story, but still being her iconic self.

I want audio roleplays to be main stream SO BAD, like I wanna look up on YouTube “Audio roleplays analysis” and have like a million videos come up, I want their to be so many fan theories if fills my feed, I want everybody talking about the latest installment of whatever they have been listening to, I want to be able to mention something about a series to a friend and then have even the faintest clue of what I’m talking about😭there needs to be like a turn around on how the community is viewed so bad

I thought we were over the whole "V is abusive" thing omg 💀 people truly have no media literacy anymore

not to cause drama or anything but I HATE SCYTH ASMR! (Tw fictional domestic abuse, and fictional abuse of power)

Hate is a strong word, and my feeling might be a little over the top but, I do wanna talk about some of his stuff. I was a big fan of his when his first V vid was made. I joined the discord and followed all his posts. And then he posted a video that happened to have domestic violence in it, MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING FOR THAT PAST THIS!!!! this vid has the listener character “cheeky” (I will not be calling her that cus that’s is a cringe ass nickname btw) and V, the romantic interest training, then after some flirting (one sided on V’s part, I’ll get into this later) a cargo truck full of scientists drives by! V quickly gets into the trunk and kills everyone in there, the listener character tries to stop him from killing what she think is an innocent person, he kills the guy in front of her, and then throws her out of the car, chokes her, talks about how he’s going to kill her and pin her death on the people in the cargo truck, and then says “how about one more kiss before you go” before letting her go. He then afterwards explains that the reason he killed all of them, was because of some in story lore about werewolves. It’s explained that what they did basically caused a werewolf to go feral and become evil and kill people. So obviously! These scientists who were probably forced by the government to do this, deserved to die! That makes sense! Anyway the moral of this vid was that the listner character should always listen to V no questions asked! I hate this vid for a number of reasons. The biggest one is the number of comments sexualizing and romanticizing the fucking horrible and traumatic abuse this listener faced, even bigger then that was the fact scythe audio fed into it.

The worst comment (trigger warning, victim blaming)

As you can see, scythe not only condoned this behaviour, he feed into it. This comment makes me sick. I accidentally watch this video without reading the description and became very triggered at the video. (this is not scythe audios fault, I must make this clear) seeing people make jokes like “I asked to be choked but not like this” and talking about how the listener character deserved and even enjoyed the attack was and still is repulsive.

The relationship between V and the listener character was also extremely abusive, but it was always shown as loving, or something like that. The listener has to stay with V and basically do whatever he asks (including kissing and I assume sexual favours) or be tossed to the streets to be picked up by either the evil shadow government or the actual government. Both wanted her dead. So, she’s trapped staying with a man who threatens violence if she doesn’t follow his every whim, who sexually harasses her daily, who diminishes her trauma, and who treats her like trash, just so she doesn’t her tormented and eventually killed. My issue with this isn’t the fact he’s an abusive ass hat, my issue is that instead of giving him any actual character growth, V was given orphans. He was made into an adopted dad to a shit ton of orphans cus he has ZERO REDEEMING TRAITS OTHER THEN HOT. Scythe audio must have realized this guy was his money maker and realized he had to make this guy actually redeemable if he wanted to have him to keep Marlon him money. Anyway it was unconvincing cus right after introducing the fact there were cute kids in the equation, he dropped the domestic abuse.

Another thing, less about the videos and more about how he interacted with fans. His discord sever had rolls for age! They specifically had one labeled “16 and under”, now, I’m not against having minors in asmr fandom spaces, but having minors especially such young ones in a sever he made? It just felt like a weird choice, especially seeing as he had and still has, and I’m going to say it bluntly, porn up on YouTube. Now you can say “but the video said 18+!” We all know that has never ever stopped a minor from doing anything. With this said, a large amount of his fandom was under 18, I’ll give him this, I don’t think i ever saw Scythe interact with an under 18 fan, but he knew they where there, he knew they watched his content. And yet knowing this, he wrote stories that glorified domestic abuse as a way to teach your partner how to fall in line he wrote stories glorifying the horribly toxic relationship that was V and the listener character. This type of thing affects kids greatly, especially if they have no clue it is abusive. Even in the video with the domestic abuse the description says “this may be triggering to listeners in regards to domestic based violence” not “Trigger warning, this video contains Domestic abuse!” It says it more like “it’s kinda domestic abuse, but only if that triggers you”

In Redacted, the description will always tell you what to expect. “Gaslighting, manipulation, toxic relationship” he will make sure you know that a toxic relationship is toxic, he makes sure your aware that the abuse shown, isn’t love. The most scythe does is say “well V is a villain! He’s not a good guy!” And yet her tries to make him redeeming so people like him.

Now, I get that this was over 2 years ago, scythe audio could have totally moved past this weird glorifying abuse thing, who knows! I mostly wrote this as a vent cus my friend reminded me he existed. Anyway if you made it this far have a nice day. If you where or still are a scythe fan, tell me what you think of all this (without being mean please) if you happen to be scythe himself block me I don’t want you near me. Anyway have a nice day!
