How Rude

A video from one of my popular projects:

A comment posted today: "Like if you think the LPer has ADD"

Like, what? LOL

 

For some reason, this is how I read the thread name.

 

I usually think of Jar Jar Binks

 

Youtube comments are a cesspool. Don't bother getting upset.

 

Oh, I'm not upset. Just found it funny.

They might be referring to the fact that I went out of my way to collect all the crowns, pretty much like the wumpa fruit in Crash Bandicoot.

 

...

I think you have your generalized perceptions of mental disorders mixed up.

 

Then I don't know what they're referring to with ADD.

 

Everyone who is upset says this, y'know.

 

But I'm really not.

 

Pro-tip: when arguing about whether or not you were/are upset, don't keep insisting that you weren't/aren't. It doesn't help your case.

 

This is just going to lead to him insisting more and more that he's not upset and eventually he'll freak out in anger and we'll need to get him a straitjacket and lock him up in a mental institute

Scratch that, I just played the video to see what was going on.....and I'll take a straitjacket and mental institute myself.....THOSE EYES ARE CREEPING ME OUT LIKE THAT MAN'S BUSINESS!!!

 

except maybe he actually wasn't

It sounded like you were describing what people usually think of as OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). People think it's stuff like having to separate your M&Ms by color or something. It's more like: 'I have to wash my hands five times and then I have to turn the lights on and off exactly five times.' And if you can't perform these tasks, it's the end of the world. OCD is characterized by thoughts and fears(obsessions) that then lead to repetitive behaviors(compulsions). A compulsive behavior might be comforting to ease anxiety.


ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder) is usually stereotyped as 'omg I am so ADD. I couldn't focus at all in class today'. Yeah, okay. We all have times where we just cannot focus. I can admit to that. But when it's more like: 'Yeah, I had trouble focusing in class today and everyday. I can never sit still and I interrupt my friends when they're talking. And I think it's starting to have an impact on my everyday life.' Then you might actually have ADD or ADHD(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

So you thinking you have to perform an objective in a video game is not necessarily either of these. Or wanting to get 100% completion in a game. I haven't watched any of your play throughs so I don't actually know how you sound though. But I know a lot of LPers who get enthusiastic about the games they're playing.

 

You're missing the point.

Arguing about this specific thing never works out because both parties (the one who may or may not be upset, and the accusing party) will never agree.

Or have you never had this situation?

 

That makes their comment even more weird, LOL!

Most of my projects are walkthroughs, not let's plays, that project being one of them, which means no voice.

 

i have
but you started it
and then started preaching against it
what even is your intent

 

I've been there a lot.

"What are you upset about?"
"I'm not upset. Thanks for your concern"
"Oh you can tell me come on"
"Tell you what? How not upset I am?"
"Stop denying it, there is clearly something"
"Well there is a desire to punch you coming along..."

 

Just gonna agree to disagree and end it here.

 

but that's
but i
but you
ookay.
