altTom Scott stole anons gf
I hate that idk if I should believe this or not
SubArcticTundraYeah, you could easily make this up, and it doesn’t feel like something Tom would do
Def doesn’t but he does also seem like a smooth mfer
I’ve always wondered what his personal life is like. I really like that he tries to be professional, but still.
HeavybellHe even said something on the lines of “This Tom Scott is a character. Based on the real one, but nonetheless.” I forget his exact wording, or which video it was in.
Oh yeah, he did say that. I suppose it’s natural when there’s a side of you that you show to the public and a side that you show to your friends. It’s like how everyone acts sightly differently around their parents
GoofSchmooferI think any successful, level headed host, actor, media personality has a character they play in public. Actually to expand on that most people that are successful and want to keep sane have a public character.
I think it was in this video: piped.video/watch?v=UaGTFeibOEk
favrionTimestamp?
Oh is that one of the really meta videos?
it’s always very odd to me watching like, an obscure youtube host or the dude at the zoo MCing a dolphin show. like, you know they jerk off and have bad takes, but here they are putting on a face for 50 people
He is literally the poster child for software eng motherfuckers, he’s a nerd and goobs around 24/7, an absolute spaghetti dropper
The man could only ever smooth if he was with someone who likes what he embodies (which is a fair bit of the population tbh!)
It’s 4chan, of course it’s made up. That said who knows what Tom would do. We don’t know a thing about him outside of what he chooses to show on youtube. There have been enough scandals with celebs who seemed nice to show that we don’t know who people really are. Not saying he is an asshole, he could be perfectly nice, just that we don’t know.
It’s probably fake but just because you’re seen some videos of a guy doesn’t mean you know what he’s like off camera.
You might say it’s fake and gay?
You responded to the wrong comment
I mean, why wouldn’t you? Why would an anonymous person on the internet lie for no reason?
[spoiler] Yes, it’s obviously fake. Also, I’m pretty sure Tom is gay, isn’t he? [/spoiler]
I don’t know, isn’t he just British?
what’s the difference?
According to my gay British friend, at least, Tom’s accent is super flamboyant by their standards.
I can’t verify if he his gay, but he did run for parliament under the name “Mad Cap’n Tom” in 2010 After he lost a bet about the New Orleans Saints winning the Superbowl.
I think I can give some insight into this. I grew up in the UK in I think the same sociocultural bubble that Tom did, although a live in another country now. I’ve also been called skinny and not very manly, and people have asked me once or twice if I’m gay. When I was younger I cared a lot about Following the Rules and being liked by everyone. Ie. typical Nice Guy stuff. I was also always quite tense, especially with my sexuality around girls. This is quite common in the UK and after giving it some thought I think what does it is the authoritarian upbringing. I went through the UK school system and their insistence on uniforms, graceless punishments for stuff like forgetting your PE kit, and expectation that you will be a Responsible Young Adult scared the cheekiness out of me when I was 7 and made me into what you see there. I’m 20 and it’s only started coming back to me in the past few years. I have no other childhood trauma so this is what it’s got to be.
you forgot to mention the fact that all most all secondary schools here are single sex.
I barely talked to post puberty women at all until i was in my late teens
you miss out on a lot of primary socialisation in that kind of environment
Depends on where you live. One of my friends at Uni grew up in quite a posh area and went to an all-boys grammar school, but I’m pretty sure mixed-sex is the norm. I mean my first ever friend in primary school was a girl, it’s just that all the ones after that were boys and I just stuck with male friends after that.
LatecoereNo they’re not.
His accent ain’t flamboyant at all.
There are two sexualities: straight and british
I’m abritish
Sexiest gender
Well it’s a spectrum ffs you might be partially British and part straight.
It was mostly a joke. I have no idea if he’s gay, I just know he makes amazing videos
I don’t have any info on this to be honest, but he does not give off het vibes at all. Gay? Aro? Ace? Standard English repressed? Idk, any of those.
Pretty sure he’s mentioned female partners before. I think so, anyway.
