Doesn't his surgery not allow him to do extreme diets, and heavy exercise. Sure we can talk about "oh well we don't know" "all we can do is support him" "oh I love Amy X Mark"
But is like..no one concerned about his health as a human being. I have only seen like a handful of people on here actually talk about Mark as a person and are worried about his well being. While others seem to want to be ignorant about it or want to direct the conversation to topics, no one actually cares about. We are here to talk about Mark, not some other subject. Most of us signed up to have convos about mark and his youtube life. Not whatever i've seen with other people on here.
And its not even like i'm hating. This forum is about Mark, but too many times i've seen the conversation move to other subjects having nothing to do with him.
Like what the hell is Mark thinking getting a pervert white van sand drawing a penis on it.
What kind of message is he sending to people. Younger audience members are going to be attracted to the vans, thinking its Mark only to see its some pervert or worse.
Yeah, personally I don't want to jump the gun on the diet thing based on my own experience. I don't think I've ever straight up said it in the thread, but I'm a recovering anorexic. And at its worse, my daily net calories were constantly in the negatives. So this sort of thing really worries me, but even though he looked fine before and didn't need to lose the weight, he doesn't look unhealthy. And with diets (or "diets" depending on if there's a problem or not) there's SO many things that go into them that I just don't know, and can't make a judgement on. So I'd say he's fine physically at the moment, but if he loses much more then it's gonna be going into the range of unhealthy weight. I'm a bit worried now just at the possibility (and mentally speaking, it wouldn't necessarily surprise me), but as far as I can see there isn't a clear and definitive problem at the moment. I just hope he's not going down that road and never does. Those things develop in a way where you don't even realize you have a problem, the invasive thoughts just seem completely normal.
As for the van...yeah, it's just like...why? I'm not saying much on that because to be honest, I don't even really know what to say. Also having people get into your van and selling ice cream and stuff...like I said, parents, you done fucked up. I don't think he'd do anything but that's still really creepy.
And as for this forum being about Mark, I agree. I'd say as far as stuff with Amy goes, she has her own thread so for the sake of organization and all that, stuff relating to her should probably be kept there. Honestly, I'm just kind of done with the Amy topic. For me it just feels like I'm saying the same thing over and over and it's honestly not even an interesting topic anymore, it's just annoying at this point. So I'm kinda done with that.
