from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.

Sounds like he's got strong feelings about demographics.

I don't even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.

You don't know he's not depressed. Remember Robin.

I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?

Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

Oof

Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.

So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.

If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 days ago

It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.
