He has lately made a habit, during his recent streams, of telling anyone who mocks him over the voice chat in Mortal Kombat 1, Injustice 2, or Street Fighter IV Ultra to meet him in person and fight, and the same has happened when someone has taken his photo in public. It is probably in poor taste to do so, and his complaints should not extend beyond a basic respect for his privacy, but he instead likens himself to a celebrity so famous that people photograph him as they would Bigfoot, though this does not bode well for his future career in acting if he cannot handle even a lighter form of the paparazzi.

Needless to say, he undermines his “New Age Black” persona the moment he panders to the very stereotypes he claims to oppose with being so outwardly rageful that he dares people to fight him.

It hardly takes a world-renowned psychologist to see that Dale holds an opinion of himself so high as to border on delusion. Though he has admitted to bouts of depression<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t39OP3ZNhbFh4UtaIBZ_xQwIh49oTDVI/view?usp=sharing</ref>, he considers everything and anything only insofar as it affects himself.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CgLfV8Yr7I2wQiLuYNq25yXYffiyDZVT/view?usp=sharing</ref> Taking the easiest example first, he bans people often and for almost any perceived slight against him and even a comment made in good spirit will offend him when he is in a bad mood, or when he chooses to read it that way. His ego, which is rather fragile, often proves his own worst enemy where success is concerned, for he makes himself plenty of enemies among chat, fellow creators/streamers, and others who would rather not associate with him because of his explosive temper and lack of professionalism, and he does little to hide his contempt for people, who happen to make up most of those out there. Dale often mocks those who make such statements and argues that he should not have to become a “nice guy squeegee” streamer to gain fans, as though that were even remotely the point. Which is that he need only improve himself slightly in patience and continue being his antagonistic self in an entertaining rather than genuinely hateful manner to find the same success he enjoyed in his early days. Yet he has done nothing to improve himself and arguably has grown worse.

Dale seems incapable of imagining that a person might hate someone and still find him entertaining or psychologically fascinating, since he loves calling his detractors gay for “obsessing” over him<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/166HoVyzWqRH2hHGJy8F5GyeJuVY0A0o6/view?usp=sharing</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HgZEurDWp0SmTud8nQQosBf27cadOVbu/view?usp=sharing</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YTEyC223tMbUaTMvedzlBKMs12KGhC44/view?usp=sharing</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u157JkIjFZAkDY9guud5OBhVykwsAzRq/view?usp=sharing</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EpqXiSq0EebBnYnx5Ovoq-1H2ZuXkkna/view?usp=sharing</ref>. While this may apply during certain periods<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nToUruaCX6wpVdP4Uw33XQgb0BHvok8S/view?usp=sharing</ref>, there are also times when he calls people trolls or “obsessed weirdos” even though there is no apparent evidence beyond his paranoia and violent temper, and sometimes the claim of trolling only as a way to excuse his loss to someone.

=== Greed ===

Thanks in part to his $121,000 debt, Dale regards money as the ultimate goal toward which every man should strive<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BiGFWSATL22iqpl4Y6Ea4gzfPjZ0jxXT/view?usp=sharing</ref>, and this leads him to make decisions that, if anything, yield less money over time. He challenges detractors to hand him $50,000 up front if they wish to fight him (the winner does not receive that sum), he bans or times out supporters in his chat, and berates viewers who would become supporters were it not for his toxic attitude, on top of alienating nearly anyone who might toss a nickel at his feet. This overlaps somewhat with his ego, since he will boast about having more money than he actually has to save face with what remains of his audience, even though trolls mock his attempts to save only because he so readily pretends that he is secure and not living paycheck to paycheck on the charity of strangers.

It also goes without saying that this obsession with money has given him the most self-destructive case of tunnel vision, but in practice his ego keeps getting in the way of any decision that might actually pay off. It’s been a common talking point among lolcows that they should capitalize on their infamy and squeeze out whatever benefits they can, whether that’s money or something else, and while Dale has made a few attempts, he refuses to go the extra step, such as not banning people who make fun of him, or honing his acting skills enough to fake being rageful for the streams. Keep in mind that all it would take is an ounce of self-control to rein in his actual rage before it spirals out of hand, and to dramatize it just slightly enough that it comes across as entertaining.
