Those of us who've been fans of Nick since before Rittenhouse, and some of the audience who've come after, have always understood that his show is a night show. We're there for the fat jokes and dick jokes and for the drunken read-throughs of legal documents.

Despite the claims of internet autists and other cringetubers who are frankly jealous of his success, Rackets never tried to portray himself as a serious attorney, but a lot of the audience he gained during his trial coverage fall into the moralfag / tradcuck / boomercon / unemployed soap-opera bingeing housewife category, and have decided they disapprove of his drinking, swearing and sex jokes.

And because the tradcuck crowd, much like leftists, have never really understood the "if you don't like the content, just don't watch it" principle, this has led to constant moralistic, church-lady handwringing about his behavior, when it really hasn't changed much in the years since I started watching him.

He does talk a lot about his personal life, and he tries to be friends with literally everyone, including some people that the kiwifarms have a serious hate-boner for, like Ethan Ralph. And those things have created a situation where the farms have generated a huge thread about Nick full of completely unsubstantiated claims about his personal life, and this has got worse as it's become increasingly clear that almost none of what they say about him is true.

Since internet autists absolutely cannot tolerate being proved wrong, there's now a whole subset of cringetards actively rooting for Nick's marriage and family to fall apart, in spite of the fact that everything seems to be fine, and bombarding his chats and comment sections with bullshit drama whenever he tries to talk about anything else. He doesn't do himself any favors by engaging with them as often as he does, but it's understandably upsetting to a people-pleaser like Nick to have dozens of accounts in his comment sections actively cheering for his life to fall apart and trying to sabotage his family.
