Talk:Are The "Psycho" videos fake or real?/@comment-28477841-20160516222410

BOTH fake and real.

- Obviously, some events and scenarios are staged for the drama.

- Like reality-tv shows that find a weakness and relentlessly push subjects over the boiling point, Jessie has an idea of what will make for a good drama and then exploits the weaknesses around him for a reaction. I think he often hasn't fully thought it through and the horror on his face is both at the physical destruction, a genuine reaction, and realization of consequences. For example, when he takes Jeffrey Jr's laptop to his father while he is splitting wood and it gets destroyed. Or, when Jessie pressures Jeffrey Sr into a conversation about converting a bedroom from the shed despite repeated protests that he is tired and does not want to discuss it right now.

- I believe that some of the choices Jessie makes are more heavily influenced by potiential youtube drama ($) than logic or healthiness, like many of the unnecessary confrontations, plots for "revenge".
