I think he can laugh it off as long as nothing too crazy comes out about him like that one streamer who was exposed sucking dick before he was famous.
The sus stuff can be plated off if he would learn how to ignore it or use it as a joke cause straight men will laugh away the gay even if they know deep down just to keep the peace and be cool with the ones they wanna stay cool with, I see the same thing happening here.
But max has to play it right, if he keep addressing and rexplaining himself it’s gonna make him look even more soft than he already do and the str8 audience will turn on him cause they will laugh when everything is cool and jokes but once he go a bit to long on the same topic or If undeniable evidence or leaks happen then it’s a wrap
