Depression, mental illness and social media are such a toxic combo. Someone suffering can be lifted up by the well-wishing of others, but they can also be shoved into very dark depths by those that are inconsiderate and hateful. Sadly, the power of hate too often seems to overwhelm any positivity that comes with…

A couple of my coworkers are content creators on the platform, and while we weren’t familiar with his work until a few months ago, he seemed to be a beloved YouTuber and streamer amongst his peers.

...I feel like expecting contrition from those folks requires that they possess either the empathy or introspection to realize that their attitudes and words were fucked up—and I imagine we’ll be left wanting.

I doubt very much you’ll hear a word of contrition from most of them.  The type of asshat who feels the need to say, “But he did this before, and he probably just wants attention” lacks both the introspection and empathy necessary to realize that their cruel jibes are part of a culture that exacerbates mental health…

I feel like the people that tried to imply this was a publicity stunt should be ashamed of themselves.

Ugh, that’s so terrible. All those of you who were talking wild about how he was just out for attention, what now? Will you ever give mental health issues the respect they deserve?

Here’s hoping Amofah is found alive and well—and gets the help he needs. It’s not looking good, and dragging that kind of body of water for one person is very much the epitome of needle-in-a-haystack work, but until his whereabouts are confirmed one way or another, all anyone can do is hope he set his stuff down and…

Geez, that is not good news. Here’s hoping he is somehow still out there unharmed.

You’re suggesting that if he hid his struggles with mental illness he’d be doing a lot better? 

What is it you’re trying to say here? 

Can you at all fathom that someone with mental health difficulties might not make the decisions you think are proper?

I was literally just watching his E3 2019 Nintendo reaction not too long ago.

This is incredibly asinine. It’s a subscription based MMO - so not only are players dropping $60 on an expansion, but also signing up to play for another two years @ $15 a month. You make it sound like their only options are to a). shut up and cough up the money or b). don’t play the game and move on. But these are…

A game that people pay 50 bucks for up front and 15 dollars a month to play is absolutely something that should be catered to them, henny. There's nothing wrong with criticizing a corporation for delivering against their consumerbase's wishes

The lore excuse is also bullshit when you consider that Lore-wise we should not be seeing almost any Male Miqo’te. Lore wise, Male Miqo’te are very rare because there is just a higher birth rate of female than male. They are also described as very territorial which lead to solitary life. Or they are use mainly for…

Sounds like you’re being a spoiled child about other people’s opinions.

I would change races immediately if I could play that.

See Iv been under the impression that FFXIV is Square’s piggy bank that they keep breaking into and not filling it back up.

wait for it: they’ll announce the hrothgar actually have no sexual organs, as they are not mammalian and reproduce asexually through a ritual at the age of 22. Those who violate tradition and do not perform the ritual are cast out, and THOSE are the playable hrothgar.
