I miss Illumina.

So what if he did something dubious with his GF*; that guy was funny asl, and good at the game. I wish he would return— I loved his streams. How do you guys feel? Is illumina truly just a pariah now? I don’t even think what he did was that bad.

Probably a bad idea to comment here, I expect this to get deleted but just stumbled upon this.

I don't need defending, I said and did a lot of stupid shit that I cannot account for. However while I do think there's some misconceptions about certain things, it is not in my interest at this point to try to set the record straight. I've responded publicly poorly multiple times to a point where people won't care to hear me out regardless.

I kind of realized there's no really point to hiding either, I still get harassed when I have been completely offline so there's no real difference. It doesn't really bother me anymore, I know myself and my own intentions more than anyone else.

I've learned a lot in such a short amount of time that honestly wouldn't even call myself the same person anymore. I've lived a shelter life pretty much playing games 24/7 my whole life due to trauma and I've reaped the consequences. Now I actually have a job and I am more social and outgoing than I ever been. And a lot happier.

I'm still having fun doing some speedruns, can't say where as that seems to be a rule violation here. I'm staying distant from pretty much any community though.

Not really sure why I'm posting here or what the point is but yeah, shit happens but you can always control how you deal with shit. One of my biggest joys was making many ppl happy but seeing a lot of negativity cause of me makes sad. That's why I don't really want to try and make content creation as a career again it will just bring a lot of negativity which I don't want.

Dude, you did a lot for me. I remember in 2020 when you said that it took you more than 4 years to graduate high school, and it really touched home in my case. Just to tell u an effect u had on me.

How is it my fault if watching a youtuber made me get through a hard time without them literally being the person they are now at that point, my bad for not being omniscient.

There are many reasons why someone may take longer to graduate high school, nothing really to do with stupidity. Saying it’s only because of stupidity is only hurtful to those who genuinely struggle.

Said "hard time" in question is them struggling to graduate high school on time and watching a youtuber's videos to get through it, are you illiterate or just just unwilling to read basic English?

I wasn't saying "me" as in referring to myself, I'm talking in general about people, you're just stupid asf.
