  • For one, self diagnosis can legitimately help people who do not have access to medical professionals for reasons beyond their control. Be it financial, distance from professionals, etc

    There is a case to be made for self diagnosis.

    Second, again until the ends of time I will have to repeat this because you’re stubborn and refuse to read or understand

    This sub is bullying people with actual mental health issues and/or children. These are (mostly) adults going out of their way to bully people who are, more often than not, already vulnerable.

    So anyone advocating FOR the sub and that does include you needs to take a hard look at themselves. One question. Seriously dude?


  • That’s great

    Well others do. On that sub. So. Cool crowd to hang out with.

    Also just. People with ACTUAL disorders get harassed by people on that sub. Basically what it does is it sends hatemobs at disabled people or people with mental health challenges, or literal children.

    Just so they can feel better about themselves collectively. It’s deranged. Some real gamergate shit






  • It feels like a bit of ‘old internet’ died with him, where he’s always been an internet optimist and someone who has lived through basically all of it. He stuck to his principles through all of it. And I guess that has become a rarified breed.

    Him taking a step back feels like a bit of that old internet of the curiosity, community and creativity of the early days of the internet go with him. Mind you he’s not going anywhere except the people he cares about and I completely understand the choice he made, and I only wish the best for him, so this is just me attempting to explain why it feels so confronting and kind of sad. For me it goes beyond ‘oh there just won’t be anymore of those videos then’, which I can live with although it would be sad to see those go. It’s his personality that has, through the entire history of youtube and the many, many changes it went through, stuck to the principles of its first ever users. Be curious, be authentic, and generally just try shit out and see if it works.

    I’m sure that core of the personality he showed on screen will never really go away, other people will carry that torch. But it’s ok to be a little sad to see someone wave off like this. It shows us all how much we enjoyed it all these years.

    Also as a MINOR sidenote on the meme, he never refused to explain, you couldn’t stop this man from explaining if you tried lol
