I would still side with Lupa until Spoony gets the help he needs.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
Sane or not, he still has to own up to actions. Also, I have clinical depression and I've done everything that you defend spoony for. Similar things happened to me: My Girlfriend of 11 years dumped me. I had lost my job too. I had to leave school because I let my temper get the better of me and a situation got bad. My mom died. You know why I'm not a hate filled ball of rage? I got the help I needed and I am on some powerful medication.
Guess what happened in my case: I still had to own up to my actions and accept the consequences of them. I have to spend the rest of my life rebuilding the friendships I destroyed, as well as some of my reputation. Regardless of me being in the mindset or not, I still did them. Spoony is no different just because he's spoony.
Just curious, because it keeps popping up.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
Has he ever confirmed that he´s depressive ?
It´s not that I necessarily doubt it, it´s just that the internet as an entity has a shit track-record when it comes to diagnosing psychosis.
And you can be angry and self-destructive without being depressive.
I guess.TheDrunkNinja said:
Might make my advisor happy. Keeps bugging me about how little my work gets cited in non-internal papers.....
He made a pretty long post on his site a while back when he was barely releasing videos.TheAmazingHobo said:
I think it was back in November or maybe October of last year. Anyway, he clearly states that he's just been diagnosed with serious depression, but that it's not the cause of being "too sad" or something. I'll try to find it.

Here it is.

Don´t need to, I believe you unsourced.TheDrunkNinja said:
I was just curious if there was something to it, or if the internet was simply again taking one of its blind, uninformed, wildly inaccurate stabs at playing doctor.
So yeah, then he really should get help.
Being self-destructive because of a clinical condition is no fun.
Everything else would be a severe disgrace to your name.TheDrunkNinja said:
Noah is a really sound guy and as of late he has not been in a good way. His meds are not working well and he is prone to adverse effect this is one of them. Lupa was clearly wanting a sh&% STORM and that is what she got. To necro an already deadpan issue which Hope mockingly laughed at and even Nash did is just seeking arguments.
sPOONY EVEN THOUGH TYRADING on twitter not the wisest of moves comes off the better man. Lupa however is certainly going to make enemies. Noah through his 4 years of work and being a founder has a lot of connections and friends. Lewis being a very close friend they live a few hours away. Also Lindsay and Todd are EXTREMELY close friends as is Joe.
Lindsay a month back along with Todd and others made it clear that they wished to stop having story to their videos and do what they do best and that is review. Lindsay as many of you know is very astute as is Todd. Lewis has remained quiet due to bias reasons as has Wario another close friend.
In all honesty Lupa should go as well as well as Phalun because come monday they are not going to have friends. Noah has also stated in tweets as has lindsay about parting from CA and focusing on Reviews they've obviously relieved offers elsewhere and Lewis also has his website. Lindsay already publishes her videos on blip before TGWTG.
The sides are now very clear and just all Lewis and Lindsay and Todd and Joe and Wario are doing are defending their friend and colleague. Joe is not in the best of moods and extremely confused on the matter whilst the others have made none.
Tbh I Lewis, Todd and Lindsay left the site I would not bother. I honestly hate Doug his voice is irritating and you can tell he is scripted heavily. He is certainly no stranger to bad jokes either. Lupa is honestly No one knows her and Pealus is just awful the lack of quality shows

You forgot to mention his brother being forced to kill a man in self-defense and a fan sending him goodbye emails before killing himself.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
Yeah, Spoony's had a rough year and a half.
All I really have to say about this is that all (and by all, I mean all that I have seen so far) Channel Awesome producers who have saw fit to comment publicly on the situation have all voiced their support of Obscurus Lupa's actions, in the sense that they feel that she both had a right to be offended and a right to voice her opinion. Now, not all producers have condemned Spoony, but the majority agree that Spoony is a bit unhinged and needs help. Kyle (Oancitizen) has even tweeted (I can't find the tweet, the site is buggy for me) that the situation has never been Lupa Vs. Spoony, it's more Charlie sheen Vs. Charlie Sheen, with Noah unfortunately playing the part of Charlie Sheen.
And let's face it, if you just scroll down Spoony's twitter you'll clearly see something had to give eventually. Besides going of on fans, telling people to f*** off, publicly insulting producers like Oancitizen and JoTron, whose only crimes were to tell him to cool off and try to be more graceful, and even telling Bennett the Sage they were no longer friends, you can see that everything that happened here was his fault, and no one but his.
And don't say being depressed absolves him of guilt. Let's say I have to shoot your mother because if I don't I will die. It rationalizes what I did, but it doesn't mean your mommy is any less dead and that I shouldn't be punished for murder. Same thing here: His depression rationalizes his behavior, but he still chose to pull the trigger, so to speak, and now he's gotta deal with the consequences.

That's interesting.I do recall watching one of Benzi's GameFap videos where he makes(in game) a hentai version of Mars Girl then bangs her.Yet nothing was said or done to him and that was long ago.Also,Rape has been totally desensitized.The act is horrible yet its joked about casually on games and forums. Spoony is awesome but his video's are how he makes his money.So I can see how stressful that can be.I hope things turn out well for him.
I just found out about the first one yesterday. Apparently, about a year ago, someone trying to cross the border pulled a machine gun on Miles.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
As for the second, that's the reason Spoony stopped making suicide jokes.
People are really just making it worse for Spoony. He is in depression and talk like "depression is no excuse" is just bullshit. My best friend used to have deep depressions and he even attampted a suicide once. Blaming person for acting like jackass while he is emotionally unstable is like hating person with no legs for being too slow.
