And now if I revealed that, oh I have depression/anxiety issues, so I lash out, then what? Sure call me a cunt, but at least I'm consistent and not fickle like the rest of you. If TB wants people to stop calling him out on his shit, then stop giving them shit to get called out on.
[QUOTE=Mabus;43947752]My hair is going grey and falling out too at 22, it's actually pure white in patches at the back and I get strands of it in my hands when I wash my hair. Its not stress that does it its something else entirely, a mix of hereditary and vitamin deficiency (Along with a history of alcohol abuse in my case) I can see how its scary for the poor guy, if I wasn't comfortable in my current situation It would have a serious effect on my well being.[/QUOTE] The most annoying thing about having grey hair for me is when people tell you that over and over again like it is something hard to remember. Well I will have charm way before others I suppose. Anyway I kinda don't get all this internet drama. Is it hard for people to remember that most of web users are idiots? Or for the most the gaming community is for sure. Seems like nobody can act normal in a non face to face situation. I never really understood that
[QUOTE=EcksDee;43948567]Facepunch isn't a hivemind. Though to be fair I probably called him some unsavory words too but at that point I had no idea what kind of stress the dude was going through[/QUOTE] That's why I said consensus and just linked to the thread without any rating or statement whatsoever.

If TB wants people to stop calling him out on his shit, then stop giving them shit to get called out on.[/QUOTE] If you're talking about the times he lashed out at people, he said he REGRETS doing it, and offered an explanation as to why he did. He doesn't excuse himself from lashing out, otherwise he wouldn't regret it. Seriously, what do you want from him?
[QUOTE=ijyt;43948420]social websites literally have block/ignore buttons[/QUOTE] You are so fucking clueless it's amazing. It's not one of your stupid friends on facebook that you can block. It's thousands of people, some of them flat out harassing you, making new accounts. When numerous people are actively going after you constantly for weeks or months it takes a toll. This is not getting depressed because you have poor working conditions in a factory that you have chosen to work for or something. It's not a natural drawback of your job. It's strangers going after you for doing the job you like.

If TB wants people to stop calling him out on his shit, then stop giving them shit to get called out on.[/QUOTE] there's a difference between TB defending himself and you taking potshots at someone that doesn't even matter to you why are you so insistent on [I]calling him out[/I] anyways? do you have something to prove? has he personally offended you by being famous? or do you just enjoy pointing out flaws in people (to people who are already aware of them, no less!)
My heart goes out to both Genna and TB, hope he gets help.

Being able to say something negative about the person but realize in a time of plight they're human just like the rest of you, and show sympathy towards them.
[QUOTE=The golden;43948455]I bet you're one of those people that thinks the victims of bullying should just "ignore it" too. Did something happen o you when you were younger or something? You seem to seriously lack empathy and compassion.[/QUOTE] I honestly think he's trolling. I have a total lack of empathy for people I don't personally know and even I'm sympathetic with TB's situation. [QUOTE=ijyt;43948420]social websites literally have block/ignore buttons[/QUOTE] Reddits only works on PMs. You ignore someone there you can't be PM'd by them, but they can still shit up your inbox by constantly replying to your comments. Which is stupid, but something Reddit's administrators refuse to change for some reason.
Holy fuck ijyt, I'm not insulting you here, but you need to get professional help.
[QUOTE=ijyt;43948420]social websites literally have block/ignore buttons[/QUOTE] You know what? Yes, cyberbullying is about 9/10 times over-exaggerated and it's really, [I]really[/I] fucking easy to ignore literally anything on the internet, but this is more about TB's self-esteem issues and less about some assholes on the internet making fun of him. I know it may not seem like that, but trust me, it is.
ok well you all enjoy the rest of your nights
[QUOTE=garychencool;43948776]On the Internet you can be a complete asshole, troll or send hate comments and get away with it.[/QUOTE] Indeed, the Greater Internet Fucktard Theory, otherwise known as the GIFT. If you ask me it's a gift from the deepest most primev[B]i[/B]l recesses of humanity's darkest instincts, a perverted extension of the will to weaponize whatever they can find and use every weapon they have to destroy what they perceive as a threat, whether consciously or unconsciously. In terms of this whole internet hatred thing, I think that the whole hating of those who are popular and/or powerful is that some of those without power feel threatened by the presence of a powerful and popular personality, not trusting them to use their power and influence for what they perceive as "the good of us all", and thus they use the Gift to do what they can to deal damage to what they perceive as a threat. The Dark Gift may have helped us to fend off genuine threats in the aeons before the written word, dealing with unthinking beasts that could not be reasoned with, but in a world where mankind is on top, a species that is capable of higher thought and can be swayed by reason in certain circumstances, the Gift comes across as a primevil remnant, some old relic left in the attic that we should leave untouched. If we can reason with something to resolve a conflict, even if it requires time, aggression becomes the quick yet messy option that we should be loathe to consider, since with aggression things can escalate far beyond what is necessary for a clean and fair resolution. One of the main reasons why video games and sports are so popular is that it is a way for us to vent our latent stress and aggression into an unreasoning, unfeeling heatsink so we don't scald people with our steam. However when other people are involved the gouts of steam we unleash may end up scalding others regardless, and when the internet is involved some people think anonymity is enough of an excuse for them to sear flesh straight off the bone since they're many many miles away. In body yes, but in mind and spirit you are essentially right there in the room putting out a cigarette in their face.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;43947670]Well maybe if you weren't a dick to your fans you wouldn't get a lot of hate. How does he have a thick skin? He through a guest off a podcast because the guest's roommate called him an ass after he said something rude.[/QUOTE] It is not TB's job to be your friend.
[QUOTE=garychencool;43948776]On the Internet you can be a complete asshole, troll or send hate comments and get away with it.[/QUOTE] Yeah sure but think it about a second, what kind of piteous human being can you be if you find any kind of satisfaction in mocking someone you don't even see? What kind of failure can you even be? How low can you reach with your pathetic acts? How can you even not kill your self knowing what you really are? Anyway a good strategy is to reply with random things like "gg" "sure! np" "so you like Obama?" "i can fly!!" Or you could even go with things like "you sure are a sad person mate, have a nice day" but it's usually less effective. But the real solution is to prepare your mind in the proper way. You just need to see things like they really are: words from a little kids. I'm not talking literally, I'm saying that you need to dissociate the message from the importance you give to it. Things are relevant when YOU personally perceive them as relevant! It is hard because usually a person tends to answer with an emotion which then affects your mental status and the way you reply. Oh I forgot the last thing! You always need to be the good guy! And from what I head from that podcast tb seems like in the "redemption phase". I don't really like his reviews but I'm kinda curious about this meltdown

[QUOTE=ijyt;43949083]yeah, i mean, after an entire day of being a normal, productive member of society, why not throw shit around anonymously with other shit throwers and unwind[/QUOTE] yes why not just have a good ol' time perpetuating someone's depression totally normal! it's always good fun to have some entertainment at the cost of other peoples' well being (as long as it's not me, right! haha :~) )

No. Would I ever? No. Unless one of you is secretly TB then nothing I say here matters one little bit.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43949083]yeah, i mean, after an entire day of being a normal, productive member of society, why not throw shit around anonymously with other shit throwers and unwind[/QUOTE] Well if you're gonna act like an animal, do it where you don't degrade yourself in front of people. You belong to one of the most mentally sophisticated species on this half-acre backwater of a planet, so you better damn well start acting like one, monkey. To do otherwise is to undermine your own birthright and shoot yourself in the foot in terms of social status and intellectual sophistication. It's called being a person, you might wanna try it sometime, since just being human is sooo passée and overrated. Plus it just ain't enough nowadays since we have enough monkeys on Earth already, it just isn't special anymore.

How about we ignore ijyt from this thread and lets talk about how is this going to get resolved.
I'm trying to point out that ijyt's not being the best he can be at the moment. I suggest that he take a break and grab a banana, since the current quality of his posting indicates he is rather low on potassium. That shit's really important for brain function, I shit ye not.
[QUOTE=ijyt;43948945]ok well you all enjoy the rest of your nights[/QUOTE] Please do everyone a favor. Stop posting. Our hero <3. Thanks Craptasket.
I hope we won´t lose TB too soon.
We love you craptasket
Guys, just PM craptasket and everything will be fine. These things do MIRACLES.
