He’s dumbassing his way out of them cuz he keeps contradicting himself, one minute it’s this next it’s that,he can’t make up his mind and he gets pissy when called out,they all do
Oh look it's another one of my Long Posts!!
There's something important to understand about Asa and people like him.
The words he says(types, etc) don't actually mean what their conventional definitions indicate they mean.
When speaking to an ingroup (the leghumpers, in his case), words only mean what the speaker wants them to mean
in that exact moment. In one video, Abbie "learns" the word horse. She seems to pick it up with ease - and, honestly, she probably does in the moment. Whether she retains that word is a whole other subject. In the comments of the same video, he says that just because a word is available to her doesn't mean she'll "learn" it.
There's a separate contradiction in those statements as well. She has every possible word on her app for her to use. She doesn't(can't) use every word on the app.
Now, understand:
He's not talking to us.
He knows it doesn't make sense. He's not trying to convince tattlers or casual viewers.
He's saying these things to keep his ingroup - the core base of leghumpers - engaged and watching and commenting. He spits out contradictions and lies to critics
to give the leghumpers a framework with which to spring to Abbie's(his) defense. Think of it like marching orders; he identifies a target, or the characteristics of a target, then he says whatever he needs to be true in that moment and the leghumpers parrot what he says.
Another facet of his contradictory and imprecise language use is that it keeps his ingroup a little off balance.
It's like gaslighting. The leghumpers are never quite sure what Abbie can or cannot do, and if they see something that doesn't quite sit right Asa's right there to say whatever needs to be said in that moment to muddy the waters. Rather than actually question the blatant contradictions, the leghumpers take comfort in an explanation from Asa that works for that particular situation. Look at how quickly she learned horse, she's making so much progress!! She has access to many thousands of words! She can't possibly learn the meanings of all of those words because she's an autistic typical teenager!!
His words aren't for us. His contradictions aren't for us.
HOWEVER.
It's actually fairly important that the contradictions are pointed out. I don't mean important in any grand scheme of things, but a running narrative documenting these things is valuable for those on the periphery of the ingroup (meaning, those who aren't quite leghumpers yet but are on their way to it) and others who have feelings that something is off. It's how leghumpers get pulled back from the ledge, how things like Patreon subs and merch buys decrease, how people know they're not just overreacting to the discomfort they feel watching this clown show.
