RE: TotalBiscuit's Reddit Post -- Battling Stress As A Content Producer - General

[QUOTE=be;43938492]Um no because that isn't relevant to the discussion right now, but go ahead and make fun of me because I have an opinion on something that you clearly don't even understand. Anyway, I'm out of here, this thread is full of fanboys incapable of understanding different viewpoints[/QUOTE] ahaha, you make a bad post and step down the moment you get dumbs, oh my god. what the fuck are you thinking? being famous and making money doesn't automatically mean you are any less of a human being / have no excuse for being stressed, that's such a sociopathic and shitty thing to say about someone. what a god damn embarrassment it is to say that.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;43939016]I agree with almost every word of this video and feel that the way internet celebrities get treated is absolutely disgusting, but I have to ask: why is the gaming community choosing [i]this[/i] as the point where people finally start to agree? TotalBiscuit sure wasn't a saint. He doesn't deserve even half of what his shithead "fans" throw at him, but he could be downright antagonistic toward anyone who doesn't agree with him. It was only a few months ago that the gaming community put Phil Fish and others through even [i]worse[/i] than what TB has been through, and I've yet to see any introspection, apology, or heartfelt support for him like I'm seeing for TB, despite both of these people being, well, assholes. I'm willing to bet that half of you guys nodding silently at the video in the OP were on the forefront of the shitflinging directed at Phil Fish, Anita Sarkeesian, etc, and you're hypocrites if that's the case. I see this video as a good first step but it's all talk and no substance at this point. I'll be willing to believe that gamers have grown up when they actually fucking grow up. I'm not directing this at [i]all[/i] of you but if you're angry at this post you're probably one of the ones it [i]is[/i] directed at.[/QUOTE] I've critcised the likes of TB here on facepunch in the past, but I've never gone onto his youtube videos or twitter and started harassing him. The people who cause the likes of TB stress are the type of sad twat who actually go onto their videos and comment or send them messages and personally harassing them.

[QUOTE=Grizz;43939098]You can still hear about 'TB being a dick' from the man himself. [url]https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/nonsense[/url][/QUOTE] I feel really bad for him. it sounds like he's struggling with a bad self picture

I'm not saying that he isn't human, I'm just saying that I don't feel bad for him at all, he has almost no right to be upset, just like any other rich/famous person. Get over yourself

[QUOTE=be;43940246]he has almost no right to be upset, just like any other rich/famous person.[/QUOTE] Are you some kind of weird space alien? 'Cause you clearly don't understand people.

[QUOTE=Skyward;43940255]Are you some kind of weird space alien? 'Cause you clearly don't understand people.[/QUOTE] Internet personalities aren't human, they're entertainment robots with no emotions.

His suffering is next to nothing compared to the suffering of others, he's at the top of the food chain so I really give no fucks

Get over yourself[/QUOTE] "not saying he isn't human" "has no right to be upset" so if a severely depressed person who is only alive because of his anti depressants was in TB's position, would he have no right to be upset? [editline]17th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=be;43940264]His suffering is next to nothing compared to the suffering of others, he's at the top of the food chain so I really give no fucks[/QUOTE] every human is different. just because other people suffer that much doesn't mean a person who suffers less should be treated differently. it all boils down to how well the person takes it

[QUOTE=PredGD;43940276]"not saying he isn't human" "has no right to be upset" so if a severely depressed person who is only alive because of his anti depressants was in TB's position, would he have no right to be upset?[/QUOTE] Depression is uncontrollable unhappiness, TB isn't depressed

[QUOTE=be;43940264]His suffering is next to nothing compared to the suffering of others, he's at the top of the food chain so I really give no fucks[/QUOTE] And now I know you're not even remotely worth arguing with because you clearly have no understanding of empathy or the capacity to recognize someone else's frame of mind. I can only hope you'll learn mature even a little bit and realize how wrong you are.

[QUOTE=be;43940264]His suffering is next to nothing compared to the suffering of others, he's at the top of the food chain so I really give no fucks[/QUOTE] Are we going down the "you can't complain, theres people in africa worse off" route? I thought people realised this was a stupid logic after they stopped being a child.

How doesn't it mean they should be treated differently? Their issues are nothing to even first world people.

[QUOTE=be;43940264]His suffering is next to nothing compared to the suffering of others, he's at the top of the food chain so I really give no fucks[/QUOTE] someone getting bullied constantly at school every day of his life isn't as bad an african child starving to death therefore he's not allowed to feel bad about it? that's not how emotion works. its very unrealistic expect him to be completely content with the state of his life at all times just because his life isn't as bad as others. there's always going to be someone worse off than you, why does that mean anything?

[QUOTE=be;43940291]Depression is uncontrollable unhappiness, TB isn't depressed[/QUOTE] how do you know if he isn't depressed? for all we know, he could be suicidal (unlikely, but hey it's not like any of us know that). speaking of stress which he obviously struggles with, that's very uncontrollable as well. you don't decide if you're stressed or not

[QUOTE=be;43940311]How doesn't it mean they should be treated differently? Their issues are nothing to even first world people.[/QUOTE] Everyone has their own problems, if he's going fucking grey at 29 then it's pretty fucking bad, worse than most people.

How come you guys can't argue without insulting others? And you call me a child, I just don't have the same opinion as you, Christ.

[QUOTE=be;43940332]How come you guys can't argue without insulting others? And you call me a child, I just don't have the same opinion as you, Christ.[/QUOTE] It's not an insult, your point of view is literally childish.

[QUOTE=be;43940332]How come you guys can't argue without insulting others? And you call me a child, I just don't have the same opinion as you, Christ.[/QUOTE] your opinion is dumb besides, wouldn't call it an opinion, would rather call it basic sympathy which you clearly lack.

Kind of bullshit how he says singers/actors have no interaction or feedback. A lot of them use the same social networking that internet celebs use and to be perfectly honest you don't hear about people stalking internet celebs or trying to break into their house. Remember that guy who had planned to kidnap Bjork? I mean really the death threats are just immature kids incapable of doing anything but throwing harsh words around. I'm sure as hell not saying that the stress is easy to handle or it's not as bad as he makes out because it truly is crippling him evidently, but the threat to TB versus huge name celebrities elsewhere is a world apart.

[QUOTE=be;43940332]How come you guys can't argue without insulting others? And you call me a child, I just don't have the same opinion as you, Christ.[/QUOTE] People have opinions of opinions it's because your opinion belittles a HUGE number of issues people face. It's extremely arrogant to think that just because you have fame and "Money" (I doubt he even has THAT much) you can't complain. You can be homeless and still be happy you know.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;43940341]It's not an insult, your point of view is literally childish.[/QUOTE] Because I don't feel that bad for tb and I don't think his strife is that big of a deal? Not really

[QUOTE=be;43938439]Some famous guy who has a steady source of income and upwards of a million fans is not someone I would EVER consider feeling bad for. In the first world there are millions of people severely depressed because they feel worthless due to their having little impact on the world, but people like TB have NOTHING wrong with their life.[/QUOTE] Depression has nothing to do with how much money you have you clod.

[QUOTE=be;43940353]Because I don't feel that bad for tb and I don't think his strife is that big of a deal? Not really[/QUOTE] Yes really, you either have a serious problem with empathy or you're very fucking naive. Having people constantly tell you you're shit will have a nasty psychological effect on you, very few people in the world have to deal with that outside of those with fame.

[QUOTE=be;43940332]How come you guys can't argue without insulting others? And you call me a child, I just don't have the same opinion as you, Christ.[/QUOTE] There's opinions, and there's spewing frankly insulting crap that offends and demeans people who struggle with issues that are anything short of being targeted for genocide. You are showing a complete lack of sympathy. You're looking at psychological issues and stresses in the most binary way imaginable which is just fucking stupid. So yeah, we're calling you childish. Lacking the capacity to sympathize with people and their plights is a sign of immaturity and naivety. It's fucking childish.
