i got zero 'queer' vibes from that guy and 100% 'this guy should not be allowed near kids' vibes, which makes sense given that the main character is a literal child

the idea i was getting is that the game is more like VR WWE than an actual pro gaming situation, though part of that is a consequence of it being a story told as a narrative inherently making it more like the narrativised WWE than an unscripted tournament. either way, the audience is repeatedly shown to be interested in flashy, cool stuff, and the black magic is consistently described and explained as being either outright undetectable or just not something a watcher can parse.

the whole 'x player is the only person who does y' is running into the issue a lot of classic fairy tales and other morality fables have, where some supernatural force offers some guy a regular thing or a very shiny thing, then rewards them for being humble enough to take the regular thing by also giving them the shiny thing, except this is supposed to be an impressive and unique display of their character, except substitute 'is the only person with even a basic degree of honesty' with 'is the only person that is actually playing this game' and then factor in that the average mmo, vr or otherwise, has more people than some small countries did back when those fairy tales were being written it's a decent conceit but the suspension of disbelief required is. great.
