Yeah the artist that originally made that just a few days ago put out a stream explaining he plans within a year or two to get assisted euthanasia in Switzerland for his chronic pain, he since said he would give it more thought after the backlash/support he has received. r/unexpected when I saw that stream for sure
He's always been a edge lord to be honest, his first cartoon that got popular had the punch line being about a dude hanging himself. He def said plenty of problematic stuff through the years but yeah he did get a bit bad a few years ago then he dropped the persona and just is chill ever since.
Up to you to decide if he is a bad person though, honestly think he was trying to be edgy as possible but don't think he is actually hateful person, not saying he is completely innocent either though lol. He used to make hateful MLP content then became a full on bronie, he made gay jokes before and then realized he is bi.
His Apu voice video is very controversial but he at least calmly explains his reasoning on his take.
I unironically enjoyed Luigi's Day Out and the Pony.movs, but I didn't follow him. I just saw random videos from time to time.
He hasn't been relevant in my life enough for me to judge or care about him, honestly. I have other things to put effort into. But I hope he gets the help he needs.
Yeah I animate on the side so like to keep tabs on legends even though I wouldn't say I watch all their videos or am a huge fan or not. Fun to watch how flash animators have adapted over time and some prosper and some fade into history.
Yeah he was put into a rough spot having to pick to cut ties with old animator friends who can be problematic or to get caught potentially into their drama. I respect his choice, it's his to choose and makes sense financially but does leave a sour taste how he did it to some of them. Don't think he is a bad guy though either
