What sets Iskall apart (if him and EAGLER5 are different people) is that he would never have had access to so many people who looked up to him without his platform. That makes this an abuse of power. In a corporate job, personal behavior in private life typically doesn’t lead to dismissal. However, in this role, Iskall is in the business of monetizing his persona. In this case, fans and community members are directly swindled, hurt, and traumatized by someone they regard as special, often before he is even aware of their existence.

He’s not being “fired” because of cancel culture; rather, HC and VH are taking steps to protect members of their communities from experiencing similar manipulation in the future. This is about upholding the safety and trust of the community—not punishment, but prevention.
