I'm honestly surprised this thread descended into such a tohubohu so quickly. Debates aside, it's rather clear that gage deceived james charles by having james believe that he was sexually interested.
And he knowingly leveraged the ambiguity of his sexuality to cozen gifts and trips from james, as well as other men. Gage consciously gave himself enough plausible deniability to say that he was merely experimenting, knowing full well what was covertly expected of him.
He knowingly ingratiates himself with whomever he believes to be sufficiently affluent to support his lifestyle, and alacritously accepts their gifts of 'friendship,' knowing well the unspoken implication of these gifts.
Beguile and deception are his nature, and as he has done in life with the likes of his wealthy friends in making them believe that his intentions are more pure than they truly are, he seeks to do online with the likes of this thread and whoever may read through it.
The evidence put forward by his ex-girlfriend in her old tiktoks alone is enough to make certain that he indeed does sleep with old rich gays for money. And that his attempts to portray such relationships as platonic are merely a way to save face. And it cements the fact that he lies like most other men breathe, endlessly and without thought. So much of what he says is to be taken with a grain of salt.
His ego put him in much denial as to what he really is, a somewhat dullard call boy living off of his fleeting looks. His bread and lifeblood is the image of heterosexuality that his most moneyed clientele pay for, and so he must defend that image in even the most obscure of places like this thread, from even the most random of people.
Irrelevant as his detractors on this site are, myself included, this random lot of strangers has the truth as to much of who he really is beneath the façade. And for he who lives off lies, the truth could possibly be the end of him.
He hopes to switch the narrative here as much as he does in real life. But the truth of his nature is already known. He merely hopes to convince those blindly enamored with him that up is down and left is right, and that he is not the deceptive and vain character that this thread makes him out to be.
