Well, this isn't our first rodeo with Johnny Somali, but what comes next might actually let you question your own sanity...
As we all know, Johnny Somali has been in the headlines multiple times by now. He's currently held in South Korea, with no passport so he can't flee the country while he's waiting for his multiple charges to be decided in court. With his new takes, he once again shows that some jail time might do something good.
"Free Johnny Somali"
This does not refer to the country, by the way. This isn't one of Johnny's priorities at the moment anyways. What matters the most is that Kick finally unbans him after two years. At least in his opinion.
Jack Doherty and Vitaly both unbanned from Kick and even SJC. Unban Johnny Somali. It's been 2 years.
That's what he wrote on January 20 on his X account. It seems like his focus clearly isn't on learning from his mistakes. He begged Kick to give him a second chance because "people should be allowed to change and move on."
In his opinion, he hasn't hurt anybody; he just got reported for hate speech. Kick quickly responded to his attempts, attaching four clips in their response email, stating that he can appeal again in four weeks, but for now the ban stays (hopefully forever).
Learning = Pretending To Have A Mental Illness
Even if Kick hopes he will "reflect and learn from past incidents," his behavior regarding his trial paints a different picture. His great master plan is to pretend to be mentally ill. Not sure if he's aware that a Korean judge might also speak English, but he explained this plan in detail on stream.
When I go to the judge tomorrow and say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm mentally ill! I don't know what's going on. I have a bipolar disorder! What may I do? I left my medication in America!
While he's actively pushing to be cleared of his charges and his ban, he's still uploading the same content as before. In a recent video of his, he dressed up as a Black KKK member for a festival in Korea, obviously trying to provoke people to generate content.
All while he's saying that "he's canceled anyways" as soon as someone openly criticizes his behavior. All of this stands in complete contrast to his claims about his reflection and that he changed something about himself and hopefully Kick and the Judge see it the same way.
Well. This festival appearance might be another charge that he can add to his list. At this point he just keeps reassuring himself that he won't serve time, even though it would probably be for the best to push him off the public stage for a while.
But what do you think? Should he go to jail, or is it enough that he stays in Korea? Let us know in the comments!
