Asmongold's mom passed away.

[Vahlnir]

Amazing another Asmogold topic, i already asked myself if the Asmo hype is still around. Anyway, this is the wrong forum for such topic. If you really want to express your condolence im sure his twitter, facebook etc. channels would be a far better place for this. The chances that he even might read your post there is way higher than here.

There's always that one person I guess. Sure, he's not my favorite guy in the world either, but I'm still empathetic. Losing a loved one is one of, if not the hardest thing to deal with in life. The pain never really goes away. It just gets easier to manage. Maybe you should consider all of this before being a bit insensitive.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy left to give on these topics. Because quite frankly the only reason anyone on here cares to make a topic or give their sympathies is because he's e-famous and known. And yes it' sad he lost his mother. But the memorials? Spare me, they wouldn't be around if people didn't know him from some streaming or e-fame, they wouldn't care.

I know this from experience who has lost the parent that raised them, and had an entire community not care at the time.

So don't fake your sympathies to the person just to suck up to them as a fan that pretends they care, as that's worse than not saying anything at all.

This objectively just isn't true; There are frequently posts and vigils on community boards for this game regarding peoples FC mates or friends who have passed away, which receive outpourings of support from a community who never actually knew those people.

You were complaining in another thread about how you've removed your chatbox in-game because you feel other players treat you badly. Maybe you should do some introspection and actually try to consider why that may be, as this kind of post implies an extremely bitter attitude and pattern of behavior.

Unwanted lecture.

That's nice.

Unwarranted lack of sympathy

Okay. What did this bring to the discussion other than letting people know you don't care?

Damn someone is really salty today. I know you might have troubles understanding that but just for example, we would also be sad if Soken had passed away or Yoshi P. or any of the Devs or any other person, no matter how famous, that brought many people happiness and joy.

So yeah, people care about other people that give them something. We would be sad if Soken died cause we love his music, many people are sad cause Asmons mom died cause he brings entertainment and joy to literally hundreds of thousands of viewers, people are sad when close relatives die cause they are close, friends feel with you when you suffer cause they are close to you and you give them also something back.

So yeah we are selfish creatures, we care about people that we root and bond with and the starving child on the other side of the planet doesn't concern cause if we feel with everyone our lifes would be only made out of suffering but heck you might wanna stuff your nihilism somewhere else cause you are way too yellow and bright colorwise to be a goth.

Apathy is an addicting state, for some I think. I am not some huge Asmon fan (nor do I dislike him), but the news made me tear up a little (the kind which a deep breath settles). There is an unfortunate nature that everyone is having problems all the time and we can't, at least reasonably, address everyone and so the 'popular' people do seem to be the only one to catch the result. . . Yet... I think there is something good in people coming together to share a pain, not just for "the person" or the "community" but for the self as well. It helps re-center and remind people, it's not a pleasure but may have an element almost like catharsis.

If you feel bad simply because he is popular then I suppose that is a bit weird... but as a community feeling for others as a loss and reminder of life. I think it is good for everyone who is involved. Which isn't to be confused with I think we should always be in a state of sorrow... and doesn't address the awkward element that it will only really trigger for those who are more well known.. but I think events like this can be something to transcend the issue itself. Like when we are all laugh together, I think there is something interesting on the other side too (though both can be corrupted for other purposes, I suppose). There are those who may feign pain but whatever.. I can imagine most don't.

Most here will probably have zero direct impact on Asmon himself (if not everyone), but I think the legitimate sorrow felt at a major loss impact each other and that may have indirect consequences that ripple back around indirectly as a more self and community conscious unit. In a more happy tone way, events like people lining up chocobos or bonfires gives a sense of unity and community that even without actually being in contact with each person you still feel and that can be an important element to others. I can only imagine someone having a really bad day and they login to find giant walls of chocobos, joining in, and just feeling good for something so silly and silent (but it being silly doesn't mean the feelings are any less helpful).

My 2 gil at least on that even if you don't directly impact the person with the pain that the sharing of pain (or joy) can be valuable still.

I'm not a fan of his and really don't like his content or some of his past views on things but my heart does go out to him. I know full well how it feels to lose your mom and best friend. It's a sucky feeling and you truly never stop missing them v.v

I literally gasped when I read this thread's title. Losing a parent (or any family member, really) is an ordeal I dread greatly, so I can't begin to imagine what he must be going through. Things have been very tough for him for a while, but I was really hoping his mother would pull through May she rest in peace, and may he find the strength to recover and heal.

They just wanted to make themselves look edgy.
