@Null I feel this story may be worth covering on Mad at the Internet on Tuesday.

Australian YouTuber, Pretty Pastel Please, died suddenly at the age of 30. She was mostly fashion/travel YouTuber with a gimmick that she did videos with her pet parrot.
Cause of death: Currently Unknown.

It gets a bit weirder though the more you look into it. She started to go downhill mentally around 2020 and it in a culminated trip to Tasmania where she stayed for 2 months. Comes back and immediately separates from her husband, cuts ties with all her friends and takes her stuff back to Tasmania. She then starts hoarding pigeons and other animals in her new home and they start shitting everywhere. And now she's dead.

Here is a couple posts from a fan subreddit that explains her story in a bit more detail.

I have no idea who that person is and I don't know anything about Tasmania but I know what this is. this is psychedelic-caused psychosis, probably ayahuasca.

It's deep yet simple enough that I don't think you need several hour long video essays to explain it. Clearly by the output of the youtube people I'm not the standard.
oh well.

That's a good way to put it. I meant you have to autistically track down info across decades of references in obscure games, sometimes only existing in paper Japanese manuals. Then you can add Kirby to the Superman vs Goku schoolyard arguments and win.

Kirby doesn't need that to win, he just has to be driven enough and have the right tools on hand to beat em. Knowing how kirby plot shit goes if he was in a goku superman three way fight it'd end up getting interrupted by some fucking malicious alien showing up after kriby gets kinda batted around a bit. YT video essayists and power scalers either intentionally misconstrue shit or just straight up make shit up in terms of scaling kirby's power especially compared to when they do that shit with superman and goku. He's just a small funny pink alien guy from a country that was so fucking apathetic and lethargic they let a fucking penguin move in and assert himself as their king because they just were like "yeah whatever". Meta knight is the same race as him (but blue) and shown as generally more powerful/skilled which is why defeating him or him being defeated is framed as a serious achievement or threat even though the bossfights are the same as other bossfights in the games. You don't see power scalers doing this shit with meta knight as often as kirby despite them making video essays on the "lore" which has always kinda been funny to me.

You can't have it both ways. You can't say all Japanese Media is inherently bad, then say XYZ don't count.
You have to either say that most Japanese media is bad but they aren't inherently bad because there are exceptions or you have to say that ALL of it is bad.

Idubbz eventually settled on the "none of it is" on a lot of stuff, and look how he turned out. Not saying that's the guaranteed endpoint but there's like 2 other guys that followed the same path I don't think dealing with absolutes ends well on shit like this. (except for south park i guess they chose everythings ok)

Either the Septuagint, John's Apocrypha, and the codices of the Library of Nag Hammadi are legit or the Book of Enoch is bullshit. You can't have it both ways and say XYZ doesn't count.

That's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. She had a fairly active thread on PULL back in the day, around 2016 maybe.
Wish I could say I am surprised but it makes sense. She never came across as being particularly grounded and always was a bit off in my memory. Combined with her lifelong affliction of stubborn defiance and career as a youtuber, it was a matter of time until there was some form of downfall. Pretty sad it ended like that though.
