Thank you, Mister Tanguay. And so close to my birthday, too. I thought your distorted reflection looked kind of thin, but don't get me wrong, I don't mind your size at all, since as you said there was so much buildup that I was ready for anything. Plus it lends credence to my theory that Videogamedunkey is your evil twin.

Glad you've gotten healthier! Got a lot of respect for people who can do that and keep on track.

raocow has a face confirmed, previous estimates based on reflective plastic updated. Evaluation: cool face, cool video.

I'm glad to see the end of the "does raocow have a face" arc, but man I hope you're not talking about actually adding a facecam to gameplay videos. I've never seen a facecam that wasn't terrible (nothing to do with how the person looks or anything), but I guess other people's opinions may differ. Also I'm a little disappointed this video wasn't the super-casual thing like "oh hey someone asked to see my face; nobody's ever asked before, but, uh, sure, here you go". But that's okay, still very good delivery, very rao :)

Well, this was totally unexpected. I was always thinking that you wanted always and forever to be pseudonymous, but I guess I was wrong about that notion. And tbh, I stopped caring about your face when I got to adult (yes, it's that long ago). It feels weird, like after least 7-8 years of watching your video every day and stopped caring about your looks long time. I guess I don't have that much opinion other then that.

Never thought the day would come! I hope you understand everyone's feelings on the whole thing (though this is coming from someone who isn't really a part of the community). I'd describe wanting to see your face as part-curiosity, but also part... wanting to be trusted with it? I'm having a hard time putting it into words, but I think that the fact itself that you were finally comfortable and willing to share your face with everyone is what puts a lot of value on it. You share such a close connection with your community both in your direct interactions as well as in your overall attitude in your videos that it's like knowing someone for 10 years and talking to them all the time, but not knowing their face. Wouldn't you want to see at that point as well, not just out of curiosity, but wanting to be entrusted with it? Anyway, thank you!

That Guy If

I started but didn't finish. As the person who sent the luchador mask for the Advent calendar last year (did that ever fit you, by the way?), I felt a sense of kinship in the sense of trying to remain private and anonymous. So I felt a little sad when you decided to reveal yourself. I work in a field (won't name which) where everyone uses a pseudonym and people have a certain level of privacy they maintain. It also allows them to create a persona that's different from their own, and allows them to detach from the field should they ever try to leave. There are only three people out of the thousands who know of me that know my real name, and of those three, only one knows what I look like. I try to keep it that way, partly due to the nature of the field (and the stigma it possesses), but partly because I am a private person, which is a hard thing to be in this day and age. (I mean, that's why I don't appear on Discord, despite being mod for a server on there: I can't completely detach from my field while on there, due to being unable to change avatars) For what it's worth, I do respect your final decision, and I'm happy that you found some solace in doing this. I guess it's just sad because I feel the greatest pressure from people to be more public. There are a lot of problems with that, namely running into conflict with social norms and conformities that you do not represent. At least with being private, few will go out their way to bother you...

Just strip the first two words from the title and you'd have a haiku!

raocow

it's worth mentioning that this 'reveal' is stricktly here with a very select few people. Ain't gonna be any facecam or anything. I get what you are putting down. In my case, this is strictly due to a few key things happening.

slowly rocking back and forward ^-^

How dare you have a face you human!

Mikkofier

I hope you're still going to do that "randomly in the middle of a normal lp with no fanfare" type face-reveal, too!

raocow

got a fresh 'raocow shrugging' bit of footage that I can insert anywhere

Kinda a spur of the moment thought I had, but it would be kinda cool if the patreon question thing became a live action thing--- I suppose the issue with that would kinda be the file size with everyones questions I suppose-- I don't know, just a thought :p

Crispy

This story hit home a bit as I too am a pretty big guy. I'm glad to hear your taking care of yourself, raocow. As for the face reveal, after so long of watching, my only real surprise is you look younger than I had expected!

lgndx

Wow this is amazing raocow, good on you for having the confidence and deciding to show your face, ive been watching for like 8 or 9 years and even ive wondered what you look like. Now i know and it was such a crazy experience, definitely a spur of the moment video raomancow. nah but seriously good for you and screw anyone who wants to try and talk crap about you!

That's a lot of parking space in front of your house!!!

Ohai raocow! I've been off the patapons for a bit, but was rummaging around today, and found you'd made a video thing. Nice to see you, and may your healthy endeavors continue. :)

(Commencing nervous comment I think too much into) This changes nothing for me, you're still that cool guy I watch play the Rom hacks and so many other things these days. Glad the community feels like a group of friends for you and I hope everything continues to get better in the health department too. I myself am having to make strides to better health and stuff even though they're unnoticeable. I try to be proud of any positive changes I make so I feel you should be too. Okay that's all I can handle for words lol. Cool video 🖒

Sketchy

You look like you're a very expressive person. I don't know why, but just seeing that you are a human with a face and normal expressions and not an actual android robot programmed to play video games and say English words at the same time is pretty cool. I think It's awesome that you had the confidence to shrug at us after all these years.

Is it just me or are the nicest people on the planet the people who've been alienated and have worked to overcome that? Honestly from having gone through so many coming out experiences myself this just makes you an even more awesome person to me. :3 Also maybe this just put me in a good mood, but I quite like you're face too. It's like when I found out that the makers of the Matrix Trilogy are trans. I mean how cool is that!
