happy birthday to rusty cage

yeah he old af

like he's almost in his 40s now

so yeah, i just want to make this post nevertheless wanting to talk about him.

this man has ruined my life. forever. ever since i knew him, my life would never be the same. the first time i heard his songs, which was the funny song "the curse words song", i just laughed and shocked at the same time. "this man is unique," i said. "i've never seen anyone act like him on youtube before."

and i just.... continued my life as normal. i wasn't really into him that much at the moment...

that was until around feb 2023, i started to watch him again. oh wait, he had a series about him building a fucking guillotine. a fucking guillotine?! you had to be out of your mind! this was trutly someone that nobody on youtube have ever done before. and it's not like he gave a fuck about youtube potentially demonetized him: he already had to deal with that shit multiple times due to his contents being not suitable for advertising. also he discussed themes that can be described as anti-government, anti-capitalist, and some conspiracy theories sprinkled to it as well. let's just say, very weird, very bizarre, but it makes you think about everything around you. can you even trust people anymore? what kinds of dark secrets do the higher ups people are trying to hide from us people? lots of unsolved questions to ask for.

and after he finished building his guillotine, he knew what he was going to do it. yep, he was going to chop his head off with it, and going on livestream for everyone to see. and wow, he really did a spectacular moment. everyone started to talk about the incident, trying to decipher if this was staged or not (it's the former btw). the whole scene was a total chaos. i remembered the first time i knew the story, scrolling down at the know your meme website in my school's computer lab room, and immediately i was jumpscared by an article about the incident. my god, i got goosebumps! i already knew that the whole thing was staged anyway, but i was so worried about him. someone on twitter doxxed him, for fuck's sake! 

worst things in this case is that i checked some reddit threats about it. this right here, is something i regretted to visit by because so many people on there that definitely never watched a rusty cage video before treated him more of a "4chan edgelore" kinda way. i hated it. i hated it so fucking much. do you think that he did the whole guillotine thing just for the sake of being "edgy"? i mean, yes, i can consider him to be "edgy", but he's so much more than that. by that, they were basically disrespectful to his arts as a whole, treating it more of a gimmick than actual art itself. he's different from your average youtuber who was making slops after slops with those uncanny mrbeast style thumbnails for money and attention. he's an artist who wasn't afraid of telling anyone the truth about the state of the world. he did all of this for art and art only. stop disvalue his shits, or else... well... it's not going to pretty for you and me, okay?

anyways, after all of this, he released a song about the wealth inequality named "sweet lemonade", basically confirming that the whole thing was staged once and for all, clearing up the air. he then moved on his arc and now, staring his new persona as a corporate entity of a company known as "cage-tech". once again, a jab of corporate peoples. he's doing "the rusty cage show" with emplemon on his another channel right now, so feel free to check it out if you aren't terminally brainrot (it's a long live stream).

overall, he changed me. there's no undo button. i think i have gone insane. it's there a purpose in life right now? hahahaha no way you're crazy. you're just a lonely girl with no purpose in life, still trying to figure out your identity. your life is nothing but useless. then, you started to relate to him, treating him as a father figure, and developing a crush on him. you realized that he made connections with a lot of ytubers that you watched before. suddenly, it seems like... everyone knew who he was. why did he have so many connections? how did he do it? what attracts people from a guy like rusty? was he a crazy maniac, or a genius that fools everyone into believing his rather schizo rants about the society? you started losing your mind, and couldn't find the answers to it.

welcome to the rusty cage cult, where 'till dead you'll always thinking about our lord rusty cage 24/7, like a dead pixel.
