“We have seen a HUGE uptick in footage of [Roaring Kitty’s] household, together with his spouse/sibling(s),” the neighborhood submit learn. “They’re completely unrelated to his exercise as an investor and streamer, and his household and associates deserve their privateness. Posting their pictures… actually it is slightly creepy and violates their privateness. Do not do it.”
Followers of the GameStop investor are clearly getting carried away.
The submit explains that the moderators aren’t positive whether or not the posts are supposed to be “candy” or “malicious”—however both method, they’re unsuitable. His followers are likely to worship him like a monetary deity, posting that they miss him solely hours after he final posted.

This principle is compounded by the viewers noticing that Roaring Kitty was carrying the similar hand wrap which Bruce Willis’ character wears in Fortunate Quantity Slevin.
Whether or not theorists imagine that Roaring Kitty is the one behind this bait-and-switch is unclear, however they’re persevering with to dig. This features a close to 50-minute YouTube breakdown of the AMC inventory and Roaring Kitty’s involvements.
