Maybe its getting older,but all this is just really sad to me. I know hes not a good role model in any way and has done some absolute low shit online, but when it gets escalated to violence, its hard watching somebody whose obviously going thru some sort of mental breakdown,in the throes of addiction, get the shit kicked outta him and him sitting on the ground bloodied with 2 middle fingers to the world. I hate playing armchair psychoanalyzer but the behavior hes been engaging in the past year is somebody living like they wont live long enough to face the consequences. I know hes unhealthy and death is certaintly possible very soon, but I have first hand experience with living like that,and when you end up living longer than you planned and get smacked with all the consequences of your actions....it just fucking ruins a person.
I hate that I feel so much empathy for somebody that most would say doesnt deserve at all. But the dude obviously has some mental illness either born with or developed from the vices.
Its like watching somebody die in slow motion. Its awful.
Not a bad thing you can feel that way, especially if you have personal experience with a similar situation. Dude started with the handicap of being some incest spawn from West Memphis with a broken home and not much prospects. Yet despite that, he managed to land into some level of success with his show and could have at least secured enough savings so he could build on towards something.
Instead he chose to rage out against the people who helped him, cry over the hypocrisies he himself commits and has committed for years now, neglect his family over and over again, threaten rape against people's spouses and girlfriends, and allegedly at least one rape. Man is a cancer who has worsened the lives of all those who have gotten into a personal relationship with him, even his Internet friends like Gator and Flamenco must regret to have wasted so much of their lives associating with Ralph, and even if they don't their lives are poorer because they did. All of this and more is underscored by Ralph's genuine of hatred towards seemingly everybody who doesn't enable him. I agree that he looks to be (obviously lol) loosing his fucking mind, but all his poor choices going years back have led him to this road.
He has chosen to seek a retarded death and to live his life carrying and spreading his petty hatred around, and at least I can see how it is both fascinating and hilarious how he manages to destroy his life in the most ridiculous of ways.
I didn't follow Chris-Chan because dude always seemed too mentally ill to be anything else but than a source of laughter, and it felt low to laugh at an obviously mentally ill fatso who draws bad Sonic shit. Obviously that ended up being a very wild ride for those who followed him and thus the enduring fame of CC.
Ralph is like my Chris-Chan, except I can laugh away and feel no sympathy because most of his failures have been his fault, and if he was always mentally ill at least he had enough Cognitive level at one point to function in society. It has been him who is most responsible for hi own mental breakdown. Grew up with some guys like Ralph and the one thing I learned from those experiences is that they CAN NOT be helped. At best you stave them off from your life with token gestures until they no longer are a factor in your life. They are dead set on their path like a train, and its best to not get caught up in their tracks.
Gunt will die,
Some will laugh
Some will cry
All he brought
Was some sighs
