As a kid I used to think Rob hating on others was funny. But as I’ve grown up I just see a bully. He constantly makes fun of anyone who has a disability, struggling with their weight and peoples looks. It’s just not funny it’s called bullying. I miss him ranting about video games. That’s the Rob I like
I am starting to think his distain for Autistic people is purely projection. I mentioned this on David's video, but Rob has said numerous times that he is a very shy person, and that he was a big nerd growing up amongst his peers. Hell, his whole Silent Rob alter-ego reminds me of a cowardly bully who punches down to make themselves feel superior. A few people have said this already, but I think seeing a therapist would really benefit him. The man definitely has talent at storytelling and improvising, and it is a shame at 38 years of age, he still thinks that acting like a edgy middle-school boy is the way to go about things. When he made that video opening up about his ordeal regarding drugs earlier this year, he mentioned that he wanted to let go of the Silent Rob character, and just be himself and shoot the shit. I was proud of him for taking the step to improve himself, and I always preferred it when he would just casually talk about games and movies, rather than rely on using his outdated Silent Rob character to keep peoples attention. Funnily enough, that 2 hour long live stream he did a few days ago was pretty much what everyone has been wanting for him all this time, and it looked like he enjoyed it as well. It is just too bad he took a bitter shit all over it beforehand with the childish antics he has expressed over the last month.
It’s definitely projection. If you watch the Cloudy With a Chance of Tism video he did on me, he spends half the video crapping on me for being awkward and having a hard time talking to people. And he’s not wrong. But you know who else is awkward and has a hard time talking to people? Him! He was very shy and a bit awkward around all of my friends when I brought him to Phoenix. He was only really talkative around me and Asa. Not to mention he actually apologized to me and Asa several times for “not being like Silent Rob” in person. And we had to keep reassuring him he was fine!
This is why I waited to release my dms of him admitting all this stuff to me until AFTER he posted his "answering questions/future of this channel" video. Out of respect of him getting clean. But no, he refused to pay me back and blocked me.
I made a video on Rob a couple years back saying how much his streams helped me get through Covid and now he’s doing shit that I don’t even recognize, was this always how he was? Or did the drugs alter his chemistry so much that his brain is just fried? Well, one things for sure is that, I won’t support him if he’s going to do this shit.
I like the cut of your jib. I'm really sorry you supported Rob and got met with THAT. I remember when I got my first donation while playing Dead by Daylight....I actually spent SO much time thanking and showing appreciation to my donator that I ended up losing the match lol. I'm grateful for every fan I get, one thing I would NEVER do....is beg them for money. If they find my stuff funny and they want to tip me for it, I'm always grateful. But this isn't a job, I knew it would NEVER be a full-time job, not without talent AND luck. TL;DR - You seem like a good dude, you were more than fair in this video, and you're absolutely justified in your disappointment, I'd be ashamed of myself if I EVER treated my subscribers the way Rob does.
Wow, this couldn't have been more relatable. I had the same thoughts: Rob's personality was sending up huge red flags, but I enjoyed his content so I just sucked it up any time something he said personally offended me. I, like many other fans of his, was never part of the FDU so I didn't see the cracks starting to show until all of this inevitably boiled over onto YT. And I can say beyond a shadow of doubt that I'm _very_ happy to have not given that cretin a cent of my hard-earned cash. I was pissed when I found out he basically manipulated everyone, including me, to hate on Asa and David by purposely omitting their side of the story and only telling us a warped version of his own. I'm glad they came out to tell it like it is so now we know. See, Rob is the king of projection. He projects out his own insecurities onto others, lies, and manipulates to further his own goals. In other words: a malignant narcissist. Had we all realized this sooner we wouldn't have given this washed up hasbeen the time of day. Sadly, it seems like you took the brunt of his shit. I'm sorry about that. No one can sit here and say you didn't care about the dude. To look past all his ableist statements over the years and still donate to him must've been a lot. I know the feeling of not wanting to lose a buddy. Wishing you the best for the future, bud.
I admire that you came out and told your story knowing how cruel the internet is and potentially subjecting yourself to Rob's ridicule. Let's see how long it takes for him to "not watch your video". For my part, I would like to hear you make videos on subjects you enjoy and see if there's any interests (aside from videogames) that we might have in common!
Rob response be like: *makes fun of your speech impediment* Yeah, honestly Rob wasn't a great guy before the incident. The drugs just showed him who he really is.
Glad to see someone else share their story! I wouldn’t worry about Psycho Rob seeking revenge or anything. I think people finally see him as a joke now. You might hear from his sock accounts though!
I’m on the spectrum as well. A few years ago I talked to him briefly on FB Messenger and he was cool with me then. I just said how I liked his satirical vids and gaming streams and he thanked me for the support. I never gave him any money but I was a regular follower of his, and this is how he repays us. This pathetic drug addicted shell of a person is what he’s become. I left FDU earlier this year after Rob brought up old shit with Asa and King Knowbody out of nowhere, it really pissed me off that he did that. Why anyone is still loyal to him and actually watch his newest shit is beyond me! Thanks for speaking your mind in this, it’s appreciated.
He's clearly on drugs and abusing those around him. He literally hasn't grown as a person in 20 years. It's sad. We all know those people who are always in trouble, and falling out with those around them. It's borderline boogie behavior. Somehow he is the victim and entitled to others support.
People like rob are just a nightmare to be with. I don’t stand with people making fun of autistic people especially when they mental problems on their own. I been watching rob since 2008 and yeah his GameStop rant was good but to be fair it was HIS GameStop that was bad. I mean bro couldn’t just go and transfer somewhere else? 😂
I’m sorry you gave him money. I was shocked when I saw his new stream and people were throwing 20’s at him. There are so many content creators out there who are so kind to their fans who don’t get any donations or as many viewers. The loyalty between Silent Rob and his fans only go one way.
I’m all for free speech and discourse but if you make it to this video and you just comment making fun of things i can’t control like my voice, eat a dick. Your comment will get deleted or you’ll get banned depending on how much of a dick you were. No one has to put up with that. You’re a child.
I swear to God I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything but at first when I heard your voice, I thought you were doing the Alpha Omega Sin voice that Silent Rob does in his videos. But yeah dude I’m sorry he put you through this crap, I really hate that he’s gone down the path of drugs and talking down to his fans. God bless you bro!
Disappointing. That's how I surmise the whole Silent Rob situation. Don't beat yourself up over this, you couldn't have known what his character was going to become. I have ASD, I didn't realise Rob had such a disdain towards people like me. I think Rob said in a video he suffered an injury which required pain medication and it's never really healed. This is course led to other substances. I do hope Rob sorts himself out.
He's always mocked and ridiculed people with mental disabilities, one of his favorite ways to make fun of his enemies or anyone he doesn't like is to talk in a "stereotypical mentally challenged person" voice. Plus he also loves do what he once called the "r***** face" facial expression in his videos and streams. I started noticing that a few years ago and it was really unpleasant and unsettling.
Rob fan since 2009 here. I admit, I was on Rob's side, but I never was in FDU, so I had to do some digging to understand your guys' perspective and now I get it. Seeing him stoop this low is just sad and makes the old $5 website seem like nothing by comparison. I guess all these old school angry reviewers were wayward souls and they either grew out of their edgy phase or they became nastier with time. I knew there was something fishy since he hasn't honored a superchat game request since his NYE stream in 2021, not to mention he was so intermittent with streams and so avoidant with the people who only follow him on youtube like me. His story from April made sense but I thought he was clean. The AI videos were stupid but I thought maybe his taste in humor had changed and I decided to just let him have fun while he (supposedly) was recovering. I thought the sports betting video was a joke making fun of sports betters, but I guess I was wrong. All this to say, it's a pity that he throws away all his money on meaningless stuff and he takes away any reason for fans to trust him or keep tuning in to the odd video. I'll still love the old reviews, chronicles, skits, streams, etc but he needs to clean up for real and apologize. With him so set in his ways while pushing 40, I know this isn't likely to happen. And to be clear, this doesn't mean I'm on Eric's side here. I haven't seen his vids about this and I'm sure there's truth in them, but I'm sick of him too. While I liked him back when his first channel was still up, I know he's done a lot of nasty stuff since then, some of which is honestly worse than this. All things being equal, though, this specific situation is only the fault of Rob and Anni, so Eric is the lesser evil here unless the Diddy allegations against him are true.
He dunks on people for drinking alcohol but does all types of drugs (which is way worse). I can never be around a druggie (been there, done it, it's not pleasant).
Your experience is similar to mine. I know it does suck letting go because he has entertained for so many years, but life is about change, both good and bad. He hasn't responded to me, or he has but locked it behind his poor excuse of a paywall.
Hey, i've been seeing you participating in the streams for a long while. Sorry how things turned out from all this. I think if Rob stuck to an actual streaming schedule, things would be much different however we both know this hasn't been the case. It's a shame but we'll see what happens. I like your input about this, have a good one.
The situation sucks but how tf have you followed him all this time when he's pretty much made fun of your speech impediment pretty much spot on mocking others? The last darksidephil video he made comes to mind. I'm genuinely curious because I wouldn't doubt he'll address this video (if he does) by just mocking your voice and calling you autistic.
let him. he probably won't even wanna address it and if he does and mocks me, that will just open the eyes of more people about who he is and he'll lose more subs. the only device he'll be able to make a video on me with will be with his phone because he sold everything else. hopefully he won't have to sell that for more fent too.
@minuteworld7027 but you still haven't answered my question. He's literally made fun of the exact same speech pattern you also have and you've given him 15k+ throughout the years?
@@militantautist9811 I don't really have an answer to that... I was just retarded with my money and still am to some extent... I grew up on watching his content and found his content great over the years and when he started streaming, one thing led to the other. probably similar to alot of his other fans who gave him superchats over the years. as to why you think I was a fan of a person that talks about people like me negatively.... I have no idea, if I could go back in time and knock some sense into me, i would've. i guess I was hoping he'd use all that money to better himself and that's why I gave him so much but that's not the case and I kinda learnt too late... I'm not exactly proud of myself after learning about his drug habits and personality now but all I can say is I just fucked up bigtime.
Don't give people who don't deserve. When I was living at a 24 hour fitness in my car 2 years ago, a homie sold off all my rare and retro games i gave because I had no space for it. I didn't think about storage for $100 a month.

I'm just waiting to get a negative comment from slappy or fatz 🤣🤣
13:30
I'm not surprised he hasn't sold his couch. It'd be too precious to part with cause there's probably still traces of smack in the cushions.
that couch is his biggest donator! All the quarters he's been able to find over the years, they add up!
Not to mention its his wives OD couch 😂😂

Rob is actively losing likes on that vid
