Great video! I agree with that point and that point, totally watched it and am not a minute into the video

i laughed at the title but it's true. his story is similar to mine, except i am not 300lb

​@@cruelworldhappymind Damn, you making a mini-documentary on Nikocado Avocado is inevitable. THANK YOU, Cruel World (your channel).

I feel the same

Agreed. I struggled to even watch the short clips of him in this video, I can’t imagine how anyone could sit through an entire video of his

He's repulsive. Whether it's all an act or not, I don't understand why anyone would willingly choose to watch it.

@@kayk480 I had to skip through them, my CPTSD says absolutely not

I can totally relate... These videos are just too hard to watch. Also, I'm quite "shocked" by the wasting of the food... We are in a time in which ressources shouldn't be wasted like that

Yes! Also the fact that people think he was one of the healthiest people alive because he was vegan. I think he has never had a healthy relationship with food

@@-Desire People conveniently like to forget that the whole reason why he left being a raw vegan in the first place was because he was deficient in a lot of essential nutrients that he needed. It's so much easier to use fatphobia to pretend he was ever healthy. He never was. What he did wasn't healthy and wasn't any better than what he's doing now. Just because he looked better doesn't mean he was healthier.

Yes exactly. I know from experience with myself and with others who have done extreme vegan diets, that most people who do it already have an unhealthy relationship with food. I even dare to say that extreme veganism can cause some kinds of hallucinations or psychosis. I know all the vegans are going to come for me. This is just my personal experience and my experience with what I've seen from people I know personally

Yesssss scream it from the rooftops!!! Ex vegan here and there is so much raw vegan rhetoric out there that's so harmful. I almost started feeling bad for eating cooked vegan food bc it wasn't "healthy" enough.

I mention in this video how he had health problems during his time as a vegan.

SAME i had to pause for a while because i was so disgusted by the noises lolol

I had to skip some scenes, mouth noises are gross to me.

I didn't watch. Why can't people blank out eating noises like they do for swear words? Unlike people who choose to be offended by swear words, people with misophonia and other auditory processing disorders don't have a choice.

yeah as someone with misophonia, i had to be on alert with the skip button. it took less than a millisecond of mouth noises for me to want to curb stomp my own laptop and chuck it out of the window. i wish there was consideration for people with auditory disorders when editing this video

I had the same problem! When it was showing them idk eating noodles and you could hear them chewing I had to move past that, lol.

No he wasn't he was a Vegan and you don't put on much fat with a Vegan diet. At least if you are a raw vegan who doesn't eat things like corn syrup.

@@snapchatsnacks3154 he literally spoke about his eating disorder in his older videos.

@@snapchatsnacks3154 Being a raw vegan is still not good or healthy in anyway. He also mentioned having an ED during his time of being vegan as well

@@snapchatsnacks3154 most 'raw vegans' have eating disorders and don't even know it. Besides, he opened up himself about having an ed

That’s very common unfortunately. I’m sure he never got help for this restrictive Ed, resulting in his disordered eating to continue differently. Binge eating AND anorexia are BOTH disorders. Important to remember that

I believe, after watching TRO's video on him, NIck has indicated that he may take his channel into a weight loss channel at some point.

i beilieve he could. he's very entertaining. very dramatic. and back in his vegan days he was also very authentic and vulnerable at times. he's really got a lot going for him.

Hes not scared of losing weight nor is it an issue. He even said once he gained his goal amount , he's going to do a weight loss journey

honestly to the point he's gotten to now i believe that's something the masses would flock to see. it's essentially the same thing he did but backwards. i'm sure it'll attract just as big of a crowd.

I disagree look how much hate Adel got for losing weight. It would be worst for Nick because his weight is a big part of his fame.

Anything in those quantities is disgusting.

Chickencurry , that's because he is repulsive

Same I hope he gets the help he needs.

Agreed

People like myself enjoy seeing train wrecks. It’s normal to look at others in a fucked up situation and think “glad that’s not me and I better learn not to end up like that”

@@Sarah-qx4vz 100% valid

Some of them are reasonable who just talk and says whats going on and are calm and composed. Although some are not, like Nikocado's. I too choose not to watch his videos.

absolutely. he is not well. he is caught up in it

He does definitely know. But yeah, I think he's also too far gone. It's so hard to pull back after something becomes a habit, even if it was just for attention.

whats a raw vegan

@@lillysparrow A vegan who doesn't eat processed foods, like fries and stuff like that

He wasn't really healthier back then either though, and he said that himself

I get paid to smoke weed on my KZfaq channel lmao😅 i got ads on my videos .. The pandemicc showed alot of people you can’t rely on a 9-5 solely on its own💯🙏

I agree, as always, body weight doesn’t always indicate health. Obviously with Nick it’s definitely not healthy

@@cruelworldhappymind Very true! Seriously though, your editing is

Yeah, that intro made me tear up. I do feel for this guy, junk food is designed to be addictive, without even nourishing your body. In a way, he's starving, even as he gains more weight.

I'm wondering why anyone wouldn't feel sorry for someone in such obvious pain.

@@cruelworldhappymind right on!!

it's definitely the way dramatic mukbangs the west have created. mukbangs have existed long before this drama of shock value in other countries where it was just talking and enjoying food with your viewers

@@viviana8368 I haven't ever seen anything like that, it might be nice to see one that isn't western

Watch Mukbangs in their original form. Westerners like Nick bastardized it to the point of making disgusting ASMR videos and not bringing any cultural value.

@@lkundercover I just might do that, thanks!

Yeah, real Mukbangs are nothing like what he does.

Thats my theoruly too

When that dude was dumping cake and avacados on his face, and talking down to him as he did it, I thought to myself that this is either a very toxic, loveless relationship, or he has some sort of humiliation fetish

@@chickencurry420 I hate when they do that. It's so toxic and gross and disturbing

I almost feel like it goes too far even for a simple humiliation fetish, though I agree with you on the other parts. The fact that he is very obviously fighting his partner as there is food dumped on him, act or not, makes it seem like there's more going on. Even if there isn't it's not a good message to broadcast. People can be into whatever they want, but the problem with the content is that there is harm being done, there's no point where they seem to genuinely have the other's best interest in mind, and there's no disclaimer or evidence in the same video to suggest that they made sure the other person was ok. Humiliation is one thing, but if you have to wonder if the people in question GENUINELY hate each other that's not ok. Edit: Grammar

His "gainer" profile was found at some point. A gainer is someone who purposely gains weight for self arousal. I kid you not, its a real thing. I didnt believe it at first either.

I mean, it was an act.

@@nisarojas2869 ...of God?

@@homeric29 no. I just learned him throwing fits was a character

@@nisarojas2869 yes, an act for views and attention. By leaving him alone/not giving him views and attention, he will probably stop. That's the whole point of the comment lmao

Sure it may be the simplest solution but an unrelastic one because you forgot to mention that he has a BIG (No pun intended) following. You can't just simply tell his audience to stop watching him. That's like saying, stop following the Kardashians in order for them to stop apprearing in mainstream media but with their amount of followers. That is next to impossible.

To me you bring up the most frustrating point. People won’t stop watching. The internet has let us arrive to the circus and stay anonymous. No one even has to know we attended the “freak show”

I totally agree with you. I can't understand why anyone would go to that extreme to get some fame and fortune. I could never jeopardise my health just to make money

That's gonna be a problem for sure tho. A lot of people watch him because he's unhinged, ordinary and entertaining. Craziest part about all of this is that, even if "regular" people stop watching him, he'll still probably get views from fetishers/feeders. They LOVE those types of video. The bigger someone gets, the more it pleases them. Just sick.

as a ex nikocado fan i agree

agreed this is why i dont watch him also anytime i hear about this guy it reminds me of the south park episode were everyone was glorifying obese people the episode was called raising the bar i think cant remember the title

Especially after seeing how talented he is with violin playing. So sad.

According to him, his health has always been a concern, even when he was skinny and vegan. He literally used to eat nothing but avocados everyday for months straight, which is extremely unhealthy and dangerous. He's clearly not healthy now, but he also wasn't back then either.

@@toomessy yup, he said himself that he wasnt healthy back then aswell

“massive“ indeed !

I don’t think he was healthy before either. He has an eating disorder. Both sides were too extreme.

This. I can't contribute views to self harm of any kind.

I also have never and will never look at his channel. Just the clips of him make me nauseated.

Period!! I cannot support him. But i can support the facts in her videos 💯

Yes!!! I relate so much. Though I wasn’t gifted or anything like a prodigy I was considered very advanced for my age group. Dr K from healthy gamer has some great videos on ADHD and on gifted kid burnout.

If he has ADD emotional regulation is such a challenge. It is also very difficult to regulate eating. Sometimes that can get overlooked especially if he's not being treated for it. Picking a musical career is such a disciplined career so it could be a way to gain control

Classic people pleaser syndrome

Hmmmmm….me too! Just got on ADHD meds and am so fucking boring now. Normal is so boring but it’s nice to be calm and in control of my emotions and actions.

This makes a lot of sense. Also us adults with ADHD have a higher incidence of binge eating disorder

I was trying to figure out what Erectile Disfunction had to do with all this for a good 5 minutes before I figured out what you meant by ED

@@esco4L that'd make the situation even more complictaed.)

Thank you! I feel like A LOT of people forget that he wasn't healthy physically and mentally when he was vegan at all. That man was eating nothing but avocados for MONTHS straight, how is that healthy? He isn't healthy now, but he sure wasn't back then either. Unfortunately for Nick, he was truly never given the chance to "step out" of his unhealthy eating habits. He got rid of a horrible one, just to enter...ANOTHER horrible one. He needs therapy and rehabilitation quick, especially before It's too late.

And how sadly he became a meme from crying on camera all the time

100% this - NEITHER lifestyle is at all healthy. I'll admit to having done this exact same cycle in university (very different circumstances, but unfortunately similar outcome). The malnourishment seriously screws up your metabolism - your body learns to conserve energy because it's used to not getting enough, so when you suddenly start eating all kinds of food that you haven't been eating before, you gain & retain weight much more easily. That's why crash/starvation diets don't work - your body learns to retain calories in the lean period, so when you start eating normally again, you just gain all that weight right back. It's not an easy cycle to break - and honestly, he's so far down the hole at this point, I don't know if it's even breakable.

Hope you enjoy the video love!! ❤️

I was in the exact same boat! Finally caught up on the most recent Boglim Chronicles videos and was worried I’d have nothing to watch today @ lunch

@@cruelworldhappymind I am indeed 😊 thank you!

Same here!!! Nightmare day at work and suddenly everything is better! Not for the subject of the video but for Madison that always does a PHENOMENAL job at her videos and has a soothing voice and beautiful face. 🖤

I have friend who died from malnutrition from a vegan diet and he wasn’t restrictive except that he was vegan, (I would argue that veganism is an ED, although I respect your different view point on that.) His name was Marlo Ousterhouse (which is Dutch for Easter bunny❣️✨🙃) He got a type of scitzophrenia that is caused by a vegan diet that doctors don’t often mention anymore because vegans don’t want to hear it 9 times out of 10 (or more.) I had to watch a beautiful soul starve to death after having already watched his life fall apart: all from veganism. 🥺🤭😭 He went from a happily married father of 3, to a malnourished man in alone in a trailer, despite all his best efforts (he just couldn’t bring himself to believe the doctors that his diet was what was causing the issues, & blamed himself & just isolated more and more,😖😣😭) and then finally starved to death completely. It is because he is not here to speak for himself that I speak for him now. I apologize if this seems an unfair burden to share with you, but I assure you I only share this with you because I feel it is important wisdom that needs to be shared, especially in this context. What you are implying isn’t accurate, though I believe you about your personal experience; that is accurate, you are the only authority on your own life and I respect that and you. I truly wish you well in all your endeavours, you seem a wonderful person from what I’ve seen of your comments. 💖✨ Thanks for listening (if you chose to read this.) Many blessings and I hope you have a wonderful day. 💖✨🙏🏻🥺✌🏻

@@aradialefae4777 I am truly sorry for your loss. But veganism doesn't cause schizophrenia nor does a balanced vegan diet cause a person to starve if their body is compatible with veganism, and most bodies are. You should maybe deal with your grief in some other way rather than spreading misinformation of a lifestyle that has been around since humans have been around.

@@aradialefae4777 Sorry for your loss but I'd like to remind you that correlation does not mean causation.

Agree, my fibromyalgia is so much less restrictive from eating vegan. I do not do smoothies and salads, but a well balanced diet with fake meat and beans. My vitamine levels and energy improved so much. I never ever watch vegan youtubers, because they always go all in to an extreme. It is really disturbing

Your comment really connected with me, as there are three vegan members in my family ALL of whom had previously been diagnosed with eating disorders.

Absolutely, it's true and you should say it.

100% on the pandering note. There are tons of people who like seeing stuff like this

Bingo!!

THANK YOU! I’ve been saying this for years. Especially that clip of him, Trisha and that other man, where they are looking at the camera making what they have been trained to believe are attractive faces while making as much noise while eating as possible and Orlan throwing food on him and shaming him and the creepy videos where he’s eating massive amounts of like cheesies or summat, all wet, while Orlan screams at him to eat more while shaming him and humiliating him?!

theres also a third group of fetishists he panders to but idk if i should explain that on here

I know this is an old comment, but I just want to let you know that I'm proud of and rooting for you. I hope that you are able to meet your weight loss goals and can work towards a healthier life.

People love to see a trainwreck when it's about to derail and Nik is self-aware of that. He says he'll stop when he's 35 but as long as he gets attention and get that YT money, he won't stop.

Especially since this doesn't seem to gel with her type of content literally at all.

I wish KZfaq would just take down his channel

@@Hollyy_0 Sad to say this but i don't think so. He isn't really violating anything except for his health. YT doesn't take down ppl based on controversy. If anything, YT loves it. Brings in more traffic

exactly!! i find it disturbing that people like to compare photos of him during his raw vegan days where he was deeply unhealthy to now. he wasn't healthy then and isn't now, but people like to glorify him then bc of fatphobia.

Absolutely. As a vegan, it sickens me when ppl think of veganism as a "health diet", and take it to extremes, when in reality it's an ethical concept. It's for animals. It has nothing to do with health or losing weight. All the ppl who make videos "why I stopped being vegan" are generally the ones who thought that eating spinach goop with carrot juice is "veganism". When in reality it's just unhealthy diet. Veganism is just another biologically normal way for humans to eat. It's also not healthy just cause it's vegan. There is vegan junk food after all, saying it as I'm eating large pizza. There was a research that compared health markers of omnivores and vegans, and apart from vegans having lower bad cholesterol, there wasn't really any other differences.

There's nothing wrong with veganism.

@@rene9406 “and we shouldn’t glorify his *extreme* veganism”

@@iknowwhatyouare102 What is extreme veganism?

THANK YOU!!

Agree!!

Also, I feel people keep buying into the idea that he was a nice and emotionally adjusted person before all this when it seems he wasn't. I guess suggesting that people watch The Right Opinion's 4 hour video on him may be much, but even people who have watched that video miss the point. Nik's cycle is to get angry at something someone said and then either exaggerate or lie to tear that person down. He has always done strange things and he has admitted to being especially sensitive to rejection.

YESSSSSSS

Yes! Thank you.

Raw veganism requires orthorexia. When I was vegan and whole food plant based I was obsessed with food. You’re so right.

Your mentioning of orthorexia makes me think of another KZfaqr that I'm very worried is going down that path. He's not vegan at this point, but he has a tendency to completely give things up for a year to see if the habit sticks. I'm really concerned that this year's task is going to start him down the path of an ED.

Absolutely, in the heights of my Ed I would watch an unhealthy amount of mukbangs, just to get satisfaction through witnessing other people eat monstrous amounts of trash food that I was restricting myself from. I stopped watching around the time I decided to get better, but I've met a lot of people with Ed's who watch this kind of content for the exact same reason. Nowadays I only click on mukbangs where the person is eating healthy amounts of food, and shows an appreciation for it. But I will be the first to say, that definitely, at least a small chunk of the audience who keep watching these are people who struggle with their relationship with food.

Interesting

@@fersaid1582 TW: ED I never rly watched mukbangs but amberlynn Reid who is a very overweight individual, I did watch her kinda for shock value? To see what I could turn into yk, to scare u off. I think that’s also why so many ppl with an ed watch supersize vs superskinny- also for the feeling of superiority. I can also imagine some people watching it as it’s something they can’t have yk with all the food

I would ask a guy I was dating to eat the food I wanted and it was so cathartic but yeah luckily I'm in recovery

Interesting insight..thanks for sharing it because it genuinely had never crossed my mind but it makes sense. Thanks, Cherry.

Yeah I don't even like watching people eat in real life 🤢 Like you said, CWHM does great research though and I needed something to watch.

Same. I honestly can’t stand it. I also hate ASMR things, it makes my skin crawl 🤮

the noodle slurping for like a minute straight almost killed me eewww… how can anyone listen to that for 45 minutes to an hour!?

@@DDoubleEDouble Same it's like hearing it feels like bugs are crawling everywhere it's so uncomfortable.

@@laurenmarieroman I got about 10 seconds before I noped right over that. I couldn't do it. I was starting to gag and it's like okay no.

its the sound of his videos. the slurping and mashing of food like that drives me up the wall and makes me lose my appetite.

i can understand asmr of a nice, well-dressed, and balanced meal, because sometimes people are hungry or bored and want to gawk at food, but these mukbang videos are just binging heaps and heaps of food. it's more a spectacle than someone wanting to watch a meal being eaten.

Yeah I could barely watch this video tbh with the eating videos inserted in

i always felt that approach was a much healthier way to raise adopted children, tbh, the open transparency seems so important.

😭 I’m glad you have such loving parents. They really make a world of difference, don’t they? I’m sorry your birth mom felt the need to let you go because if she has a conscious, I’m sure it kills her, but she put you in a better situation ❤️

not everyone has as good of an experience with adoption, i for one.

My high school bestie was adopted too and with her papers is a note from her bio mom about how much she loves her but is too poor and unstable to raise a baby alone. Your mom loved you a lot

This comment gave me warm fuzzies. Good on your parents

This is a common defense mechanism. I hope you’re doing ok now.

I hope that you are doing well. No one deserves to go through something like that.

How when orlin will be right beside him, they weighed themselves and orlin is only 10 pounds lighter than nick and lies about being a vegan....he is gross

I feel the same watching Eugenia Cooney (sic) videos. She's obviously suffering from anorexia, yet receiving no treatment. I check in just to see that she hasn't passed away. This saddened me.

I don't think it's a fat shaming to tell people the truth. My mom is and always has been morbidly obese and every single health issue she has is due to her weight. Being fat is not healthy. It's not good for our bodies and especially Not good for our heart to have to work so hard because it is a muscle and it's trying to keep us alive and when it's surrounded by fat it just has to work that much harder. There's a reason we don't see really fat old people. I don't think there's anything wrong with promoting healthy eating and healthy lifestyles such as working out a few days a week. I don't think it needs to be anything extreme but we are the fattest country in the world and that includes childhood obesity as well and that definitely isn't OK.

Telling someone their destroying themselves by binge eating isn't fat shaming. I say this as a big girl. What he's doing is severe self harm and he needs the brutal truth and some serious help.

@@dethmetelchik this this this.

@@CrustyUgg You think fat people don't know this? It's one thing to talk to your mom about her weight, but telling others "the truth" is unnecessary and yes, fatshaming.

@@CrustyUgg How do you know there aren’t any really fat old people? That’s a silly generalization.

Exactly! Skinny does not equal healthy. Nick said that his vegan diet was not good for him. I wish more people acknowledged this.

It isn’t necessarily easy to consume calcium, vitamin D, and K2M4 when you are vegan though. You are right that things were toxic back then too.

Yeah veganism I get, but I'm sorry, not cooking your food is just braindead asceticism.

@@kimberlyw2591 the chokehold freelee the banana girl had on the dietary/vegan community needs a deep dive investigation. convincing people that eating pounds of banana and dates was a normal standard diet with no cooked foods, fats/oils and discouraging people from taking supplements. really caused massive eating disorders and health issues amongst so many people. the vegan community on youtube was really cultish in the 2010's. I’m not surprised Nick went from one extreme to another without seeking and help

@@abbygibbs9735 nothing wrong with veganism done right. Basically anything meat or dairy based you can get plant based now. Everyone should take a B12 supplement. Only been doing it 33 years. Raw veganism is too hard and ridiculous to say the least. Hopefully his obesity/cholesterol levels doesn’t kill him before he can and will turn this around.

The clips of Orlen slapping the shit out of Nik and smearing food all over him always sneak up on me and I end up having a PTSD meltdown. As much as I dislike Nik, it breaks my heart when you can almost FEEL each hit.

@@Reng7erychncr3 thanks!

Honestly, I think we can all look at him and come to the conclusion that this is not an act. Not the obsessive eating part at least.

I tend to think everyone on KZfaq has issues

KZfaq enables family "prank" videos full of abuse disguised as "comedy" so it's not that surprising

And don't forget and binge eating is a form of self harm. But they allow eugina so I'm really not shocked

KZfaq is a cesspool of making no sense. One of the true crime channels is having issues with KZfaq taking their stuff down even though the videos don't show any footage of crimes (some videos have crime scene photos but so do TV SHOWS and I've seen worse real crime scene photos on tv), but then KZfaq is fine with domestic abuse (which is being played for laughs maybe??) or the channels like 5 Minute Crafts which are aimed at children despite encouraging some really dangerous things (like cooking something in a toaster that's sideways, or microwaving eggs). Fuckin KZfaq.

@@FrenkTheJoy Which true crime channel is this, if you don't mind naming them?

Yeah and they allow Eugenia Cooney videos to stay up where she looks like she's having seizures and about to pass out. Grotesque and shameful of KZfaq.

he needs to take a sabbatical and on that sabbatical...do some DEEP therapy... like you can tell that he's never had a good relationship with food whether he was vegan or not...

Said the same and then saw your comment. I totally agree. If he wants to be greedy he can reform it into something healthy

I don't think a publicised weight journey on KZfaq would even be helpful as it would be exacerbate the issue given there would be pressure to lose weight. In as much there are some people that would give him support there are plenty of trolls eager to see him fail. Just look at Jaclyn Hill's documented journey as an example.

I think that is far more a telling pattern of behavior to discuss than speculations about his health or watching clips of a bunch of other KZfaqrs who all happen to be thin and also, oddly enough don’t know him personally beyond mocking him for other things, speculate on his health in relation to his body size. Nick is deeply problematic and is worthy of discussion but seeing people here in the comments and those other KZfaqrs (not CWHM) speculate and feign concern for him simply because he’s fat is highly disappointing. CWHM isn’t being shaming or fatphobic but all these people who have zero access to his medical records expressing “concern” simply because he is in a body that unsettled them personally is not the vibe for me.

@@Sarajean913 discussing the health issues he has disclosed and spoken about being related to his weight isn't speculation. I know some people do indeed speculate outside of that, though. It is ok to be concerned for someone who is choosing to gain weight when they have stated they have already caused health issues by doing so. The internet is going to discuss the most sensational parts of the story and of course the outrageous behaviour of a man who is choosing to make poor health choices takes precident over his abusive actions, sadly. He plays into and profits off a lot of negative and cruel stereotypes about fat people - the trope of a fat person bingeing a lot and claiming to not understand their weight gain, the "it's just water weight" denial. Yes, fat people are often treated poorly and it shouldn't be that way, but NA is complicit in upholding that very standard himself.

Exactly. He's just a overall shitty person. It's sad, but he's doing it all himself knowing full well of the implications.

@@Natalie-wr3iz I am aware of that being how the internet is - I’m pointing out that isn’t how it has to be. Someone with a platform could actually do a lot of good dismantling the harmful fatphobic stereotypes about large bodies and myth that fatness equals unhealthy. People could be more responsible and simply not talk about his weight gain, because as you mentioned he is weaponizing his fatness. It is telling that after everything he has done, such as promoting abuse with his partner on screen or stalking someone, THIS is why people are suddenly super concerned. With the Stephanie Soo thing, some of these same people in the clips were like “I dunno, both sides blagh blagh, we can’t speculate, it’s not our place, he’s an actor so who knows what’s true”. But now that he’s fat and saying he has health issues, with a known history of constantly using toxic bullshit to get clicks, NOW it’s okay to take the situation at hand as true? Now it’s okay because they can pull the “I’m just concerned because of his health” even though they aren’t doctors, they aren’t weight specialists, and have no basis to medically diagnose him? (Again, want to reiterate that I don’t blame Cruel World Happy Mind, and I don’t think she is part of the problem. It’s the KZfaqrs in the clips she showed.) I’m aware that most people think fat = unhealthy, no matter how many studies come out that prove otherwise. I’m aware that saying you are concerned about someone’s health is generally seen as free pass to talk about someone’s body size. I know the internet is a toxic place and thanks to a billion dollar diet industry & for-profit healthcare system, fatphobia is so deeply ingrained in us. I know it runs deep and most people don’t even realize it. I know all this, that’s why I’m taking time to point out that maybe people can pause and ask themselves WHY all of a sudden they are concerned about a extremely problematic person who has a history of fabricating things in a dramatic manner. Why is it now, after every other thing he’s done was dismissed as drama, that there is concern? Especially when the drama is about his weight when like you mentioned, he is openly and purposefully playing into fatphobic stereotypes. That’s all, just wishing some people will have some self awareness of why now are we all concerned and what that means about our own internal assumptions about fatness and health.

@@jaelyn1630 Therapy. 5 years and still counting. I was using food as a comfort instead of searching for the root of the problem. Sure, a nutritionist and keeping a healthy diet help, but it wasn't until I started seeing a psychiatrist that I got better.

I get what he was saying about it being hard to get into the business if you don't know someone, but he IS a talented violinist. I don't know why he couldn't just do something else with that. I mean KZfaq is full of different string quartets and stuff. Also I get that he wanted to be the pit orchestra for Broadway, but there are loads of community theaters that also use orchestras. Just seems stupid to go "well I can't be a Broadway musician because of nepotism, guess I'll make videos where I eat myself to death". I do think that despite what he says he's just spiraling downwards. He's pretending it's all an act so he can appear to be in control but he's just slowly losing it. Which is why it's nice that so many people seem genuinely concerned about him. But I'm not going to be surprised if/when we hear that he died of a heart attack at age 32 or something, unless someone slaps some sense into him soon.

you’re right, i’m in therapy, seeing a psychiatrist and doing group therapy i just have to be more patient with myself i still have a lot of trauma to work through and everything isn’t going to change perfectly overnight i’ve just been binging the last couple days in the middle of the night and feeling really gross. but you’re right just gotta keep doing what i’m doing. congrats to you for overcoming your pain though!!! and doing the work.

I have BED too and if you still have triggers then you haven't beaten the disorder yet.

It might surprise you to discover that 68% of all firefighters suffer some form of cancer in their lifetimes. Sumo wrestlers shave an average of 20 years off their lifespans. The average lifespan of an American mine worker is 64 years; in Hunan, it's 49 years. There are a lot of jobs in the world where years of life are traded for a paycheck. Internet mukbanger happens to be one of them, evidently. It's a choice some people make, just like running into burning buildings for a paycheck, or Sumo wrestling.

He is triggering af. So hard to watch.
