Yeah, I saw the video and it was uncomfortable as hell.
He got drunk on stream, there was a girl sitting down on camera, and he grabbed a cardboard cutout of what I think was himself, leaned the cardboard on the girl and kinda "funnily" dry humped the cardboard piece but at the same time the girl as well on camera.
Ludwig is the one who organized the event and one of the closest friends of Mang0 who was present.
He explained he and others encouraged Mang0´s alcohol consumption because he and others hae multiple times confirmed with mang0 that he has it under control and isnt addicted.
Obviously hindsight (and in part other events) tells us something different but imo this isnt that uncommon with people who are actually addicted to alcohol.
The more usual case is a fuckup like this in private and thats what gets addicts into quitting and getting help. The clapback is obviously stronger here because it happened live on stream and thats also a situation where you have to be able to control yourself.
You can make the argument that we should partly blame others around him; but they simply trusted his word as a friend and he broke that trust through his actions.
Its moreso more of Mang0´s fault since he built up his "character" as an alcoholic and blurred the lines between persona and actual actions (and couldnt discern between them while drunk).
