Watched Mysta's stream and caught up with everything that was going on last thread (didn't wanted to interrupt listening to my oshi to post /here/).
That's true that he's one of those people you listen to and wonder how they're surviving at all. It's honestly really interesting to listen to him and he never fails to disappoint.
Knowing the reputation Mystakes have as either saviourfags, underage girls or retards, I just wanted to give my opinion on what I see as appeal since it doesn't seem to be voiced anywhere. Maybe a few uncringe Mystakes in the thread would've find my thoughts on this matter relatable too.
I like that he's just saying this all those stories about himself even if he understands that he's going to be inevitably put in a bad light. It just seems really honest to me. There are a lot of things of what he's saying that I can relate to or what I was also struggling in the past. It's really embarrassing to voice all those issues, even if you make it as a joke, and yet he does that. I also found that I, as Eastern European, relate a lot to British humor this way of telling awful situations in a fun way, relate to bitter self-aware comments - it could've be cultural thing, but I'm not sure. To me it's not about pity at all, if anything, gotta respect man showing his weaknesses and joking on himself, admitting he fucked up.
People seem to point out that he takes criticism badly and can't stand people having anything they don't like in him, but if that would've actually the case I don't think he'd tell such embarrassing things in a first place, right? It's the Mystakes that like to shelter him for no sane reason from everything. I like this brutal honesty and how straightforward he is, it's really interesting to listen to and try to understand.
And I've been in similar pathetic situations and state of mind before, and the way concernfags are reacting is pissing me off a lot. I've talked to a lot of unironic schizos in my life too. And I don't think that he, or anyone in this matter, needs pity and concern. It's honestly retarded because the best reaction on it, in case something like this is happening to the person close to you, would've be to just listen to them, talk and help if they ask themselves. Shit like: "I wanna help.....", "ooohhh you poor thing owo", "gotta save!!!" - is just retarded and doesn't help anyone, people should learn their way on their own and take responsibility for how they are. I think Mysta is taking himself in rather healthy way and doesn't pander and call for pity - that I really do respect.
