Markiplier - Part 11

[Guest]

I know wiishu already had a social media presence (which is how her and Jack met). I'm not sure about Marzia but she does do her own thing and has her own business (I actually have one of her shirts and it's genuinely one of my favorites so props for that). But with Amy, it went from I don't do the youtubes I just do graphic design to...well the opposite of that, which is strange. Although I will say that Signe and Marzia are good examples of dating a fan working. But I think him dating another youtuber would actually not be a bad idea, since they kind of get what's going on with all that. Hm.

I think Amy is literally doing anything Mark does, just because Mark does it. It has nothing to do with what she wants for her life or any of her aspirations. Especially since, and I believe it was Monkee who mentioned this originally, that Amy's ex-boyfriend was in graphic design, and all of the sudden she got into it too.

Now, normal people introduce their friends or partner's to things and their friend or partner becomes interested in it and makes it a hobby or career. That's fine. But Amy has a pattern of behavior.

In other news, Mark is now playing slime again. I wonder why he is picking up on the game. When it came out it was such a huge thing. Now his making more videos with that game. I'm kinda wondering if there are no games to play, or if nothing is out that his interested in.

[Eeveelutions03]

Was Amy a fan of his before they started dating? I remember him saying in a video that he wouldn't date a fan (slightly crushed my dreams there Mark....ouch.) so i would wonder what changed his mind. I figured he said that more because he had met some of his fans and they are either under age (surprising amount actually), or probably give off the impression that they would just be "yes" girls and the power dynamic would fall drastically in his favor. Or are only after him for some selfish personal gain.

Also im pretty excited for the upcoming slime rancher videos!

I know Jess was a fan, but I'm not sure about Amy because of the whole weirdness around how they met, but I don't think so.

[NukeApoco]

Yea.. Crushed my dreams too. I just kinda see him being a regular celebrity. He always says; "Why don't I keep my promises?" Or "I believe in you." And really, I just feel like he's trying to gain more views by saying that. I feel likes it's all a little scheme because I know that there's never gonna be a chance where'll i'lll meet him. I'm a pretty big fan girl of him, not gonna lie, and I probably do just sound like a petty jealous fan girl..

[cosmix]

Honestly, I think it's okay to be jealous sometimes, it's natural, as long as you don't let it get the best of you. And him saying that sort of stuff, I don't really care anymore if it's genuine or not. For me, he's a stranger who doesn't know a thing about me which is okay, but it doesn't mean much. But for some people (usually on the young female side XD) it makes them feel better, which is good as long as they don't form some creepy intense attachment. Extreme parasocial relationships aren't good either, and I feel like there's a lot of fangirls who do think that way which makes me sad.

[Eeveelutions03]

Nah nukeapoco i get where you are coming from (welcome to the unrequited crush club) but i can definetly see it. I was watching his reading your comments series (wish he would bring that back soon) and i would hone in on all the things he would "promise" he would do but ended up not doing. Like the super episodes of undertale (one pacifist and one genocide). How he was probably going to do a Christmas album, and so on and so forth. The only things he really committed to after promising them was working out and the improv tour.

Also you ain't alone of the fangirl situation. For me i fell for him when he was still rocking the little mohawk/shark fin style and the no beard baby face. Like what? 3 or 4 years ago maybe even 5? Man it's been a long time now. Like i know nothing will come from it and i probably won't ever meet him either. So its more of an "I admire him" crush. Would i love for the chance to date him? Sure, but im alright with just supporting him as a fan.

[cosmix]

Yeah, I never really had a crush on him, he's just not my type and I don't really get celebrity crushes since I don't know the person. But he is an attractive dude with an interesting personality, so I get why people find him so appealing in that way. And I think it's perfectly normal to have crushes like that, it's just how you handle it that can be a possible problem.
It's a little funny because when I first started watching him (like early 2014), he seemed like the kind of dude I'd want to be friends with, a squish if you will. Not so much now though.

A little off-topic, but I saw Ryan tweet about this and I just gotta say this video makes me sick.

Bad enough you are profiting off of the suffering of others like the loss of a friend or pet, but to actually rate them like one person's pain is worth more than another? And to even add the kicker, you put Ryan's heartfelt speech about his best friend as an honorable mention?

Also cute of you watchmojo to break your rule of 1 video per youtube channel by including both Mark's Draw My Life AND his speech about Daniel in your list.

This is seriously trash, why would you do that over a friends death? I don't understand why this is even made. Making a profit over this crap that should be honored instead of being show cased on a damn stage.

Not to mention I understand Mark was Daniel friend...but Ryan had it way tougher. That was Ryan's best friend. Why is it all focused on Mark when it was Ryan who lost his best friend. I mean, come on! This is utter bullcrap

[AcidicAngel0]

-.- Really to whoever suggested that on WatchMojos website. Though the fact that WatchMojo ACTUALLY made the video, to begin with, is sad. I mean I could understand if it was top saddest youtube videos and on the list was stuff like the Taiwan commercials that really get to people. Or you know something like that where it is just an in general kinda of sad video. Similar to the don't cry challenge but just compiling the top 10 of those that get people. However, to suggest and then ACTUALLY make a video about YouTubers personal videos expressing their sadness over something tragic that happened in their lives in just wrong. Add-on the fact they are monetizing it, it's just - it's just wrong.

[cosmix]

Yeah, I saw that and it made me want to throw up. To take such a tragic thing like a friend's suicide and putting it into one of those damn top ten video...that's horrible. And yeah, Daniel and Ryan were best friends since high school I think, and the whole thing had to be so rough on all the guys to have their friend do that in their house, but I'd imagine it hit Ryan the hardest. I mean, it's pretty damn clear that Mark hasn't been quite the same since the incident, and the same for Ryan. I hope that he went and found proper support, the poor dude.

OH FFS...JUST WHY!!!!!

[Tigerlilly360]

Mark said on Twitter he would stare at the solar eclipse if he got a certain number of likes. Seriously Mark?

[Oywiththedrama]

Mark said on Twitter he would stare at the solar eclipse if he got a certain number of likes. Seriously Mark?

He also posted a pic of him "doing so". Like I get it's a joke but come on dude. Probably not the time here. You've got kids following you who'll think it's funny, will wanna try doing it and could seriously hurt themselves.

[cosmix]

Yeah, it was obviously a joke, but just with the eclipse thing in general you know there's going to be those few kids who take off their glasses and go blind and shit. Especially since like the high schools especially are doing school viewings and let's face face it high schoolers are idiots. Same with middle schoolers. XD
And where I live it was 98% totality so me and my family drove up to where it was 100% and it was absolutely gorgeous. And I tried taking a few pictures on my instant camera because I was curious how it would show up. It's small but you can see it and it's cool.

Mark is not responsible for someone else's stupidity, no matter what age they are. He shouldn't have to worry that every single thing he posts on social media could potentially influence someone to do something harmful to themselves or others. It's one thing if you take a photo of yourself holding a severed head that resembles Donald Trump, and it's another thing when you make a joke that is obviously a joke.

[Tigerlilly360]

I will say this, Mark is being extremely quiet. He usually posts a lot on media. It just seems this past month his been laying low so for reason. Even his Facebook page has not been updated in a while.

Not sure but I honestly think his getting tired of YouTube.

[cosmix]

Yeah, he isn't responsible if someone takes off their glasses and goes blind from the eclipse. If it's a kid, the parent should be making sure they keep their glasses on, and if it's not then it's their responsibility to not be an absolute idiot.
And nice reference buttercup. That thing was an absolute shit show. You'd think people have more common sense than that. XD

I understand exactly why this was made.

Views. Exploiting a person's emotional distress for views. Absolutely no regard for the people involved, just a pathetic cry for attention.
