True. im always weary of anyone online who acts too sweet and wholesome, even when he was tricking his audience he leaned heavy on the victimhood. Until he got tired and went full mask off.
I saw one video that said "Its easy to hide who you are on UA-cam behind the edits but on Twitch its impossible" not a coincidence that all this started when Boogie started streaming on Twitch.
“The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.”. Beware anyone who tries to portray themselves as “nice” or “inoffensive”. They tend to be some of the worst people on the planet.
@@XxTaiMTxX I disagree. Going around in life assuming every kind person you meet is actually Sgt Barnes instead of Sgt Elias is a quick road to being extremely lonely
@@bigroaststyrone8135 I think you failed reading comprehension. I said, "beware anyone who tries to portray themselves as 'nice' or 'inoffensive', they tend to be some of the worst people on the planet'. Does that say, anywhere, "Treat everyone as if they're terrible people and assume everyone is out to get you?" No? Then, I'm not sure what you're on about. Real people don't "Portray" themselves as anything. They're just people. Good and bad personality traits. They don't try to please anyone EXCEPT people they deeply and personally care about (very good friends, family, etcetera). There's a marked difference between people who "act nice" and people who "are nice". Namely, the people "who are nice", it's just part of their personality and it goes in and out depending on their mood and who they're interacting with. People who "act nice", try to please as many people as possible and typically also try to "shame others" for not being as nice as they are. Or, they try to justify "being nice" to other people when they shouldn't. The fun part about Boogie: The only people that fell for his "I'm nice" and "I'm inoffensive" shtick are those who would've also fell for Ted Bundy's stuff. No self-preservation in their genes. Living with blinders on. Sheep in a sea of wolves. They've dulled their instincts and are unable to see people as they truly are. I'm trying to teach you how to be a wolf so wolves don't eat you.
@@ironmaster6496 It is. I have clinical depression and I don't get his (older) content. People always say he helped them in his earlier YT vids were he talked about his troubles. But it's just too much, feels like a pity party more then some advice ("Ohhh... someone else is in a bad place like me! Yay! Internet friends in suffering!") and because of that he doesn't know when to shut up, resulting in oversharing. Even Francis was always annoying cringe to me and I was a video games loving teen/kid back then when he invented his Francis stick.
It's almost like putting all your eggs in a content basket not only morally degraded you, but also in general attracts degenerates. The people who were once abto social nerds are now designing and creating toxic apps.
"The reddit trolls said I'm a liar! So I lied to someone on purpose so the reddit would prove I'm a liar to show that the trolls are unhinged stalkers!" Brilliant scheme.
@@SMCwasTakenYes ! That just means you're empathetic...which in this day and age is quite rare,especially present on UA-cam comments.Have a good day !
@@SMCwasTaken It's complicated. On one hand there is a lot to pity and feel bad about with him. On the other he often used that to get a hold of people and abuse them. It's ok to feel bad for someone who went through a lot of trauma and developed issues of their own bc of it like his tendencies common with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Just remember that he isn't new to using pity others feel for him as a tool. Pity him from a distance and don't enable his abusive behaviors...
The tale of Boogie is a good lesson for anyone who relates to those posted about on r/niceguys. Being generally "nice" and having a victim complex is not likely to get you anywhere, and if by chance at first it does, you're likely to lose it all once people see enough if you to find out what you're really like.
Boogie didn’t deserve the difficulties he faced during his youth. That said, at a certain point it’s up to personal responsibility to take the steps to bettering yourself. Being a victim as a child wasn’t his fault, but as an adult he actively harms himself with his choices.
This is just depressing. I watched Boogie since 2012 and watched his rise, and always thought he was an inspirational figure. My mother has had her own struggles with physical and mental health and drew a lot of joy from Boogies videos… how disappointed she would be at the state of his channel now. As many others have said, it seems very few of the “OG” UA-camrs from the early 2010’s have their reputations untarnished nowadays. Great video covering this mate 👍
I think part of why so many of the OGs have fallen is because all of the content that wasn't silly nonsense like skits and gag humor was very focused on on the individual themselves vs the content they were creating. People filmed themselves doing things, just living their lives, talking and telling stories. That's very different compared to now when so much content is talking about other things, reactions, commentary, reviews, interviews, deep dives, etc. I feel like because of that, the type of people who made videos to upload on UA-cam were a different type of person, a much more egocentric, self focused person. Self centered people tend not to handle criticism well and also when the content is about the creator, the interest is in the creator so people are more likely to go digging and find out stuff about the creator that they hoped would stay hidden. Im not exactly explaining this well but that's a theory I have for why pretty much all the big youtuber OGs have fallen from grace.
@@dahliacheung6020 What do you think about Travel Channels? I have another channel Sean's Travels, that I started last summer. I took lots of trips in the 2010s and have been slowly editing the footage and pictures to turn into videos for that channel.
Having just watched the segment regarding Boogie's fence-sitting, I would just like to chime-in and say: I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
It's funny cause I don't know if he stole the fake fence sitting from Tim Pool, or Tim Pool stole it from him, or if both stole it from Phillip DeFranco.
Normally I'm often annoyed when centrists are being antagonized as "fence sitters", because sometimes when you have two equally, lunatically extreme opposed choices, not picking either of them can be reasonable, but then Tom's last word on the matter hit a chord with me. Yes, sometimes, when your options boil down to "the giant douche or the turd sandwich", not aligning yourself with either of the two extremes can be wise, but if you do that, you should at least have a better alternative in mind. If you don't, and can't add anything to to conversation, you aren't helping.
@@Horvath_Gabor It's one thing to not align with either side ; it's another to not take a side and say that you don't have strong opinions about a topic either way. Most centrists are the former, while those who deserve to be mocked as fence sitters are the latter.
It's sad because he was an inspiration to me. I'm a cripple, and seeing him battle depression & his weight back in the 201x was inspirational. I thought that if that guy could work it out then I had to try to get better too. I thought that his slow progression was good to see because that's not a "I changed in 3 months, do the same" and it made him more human. But years after years I felt like he was just having excuses & became pathetic. My respect turned to disdain. He became an awful person. The realization didn't stop me from trying to improve myself, but still it's a bit sad to see someone I looked up to fall from grace like this.
I am glad you never stopped improving despite losing your hero. You rock! We are all not strong and sometimes we need to be reminded of what we need to do.
@@darkcoeficient Thanks. It's also part of the stoic way. Others should not get in the way of you (you as in general) evolving. Having inspiration is good but at the end of the day you work for you & you only. He was a good motivation but at the end of the day I only have myself & loved one to keep getting better.
"girl's with no dad are so easy to manipulate, all I have to do is act like a father figure and I've got them" - Boogie2988' Guess, which kind of parent does his current GF who's suffering from depression, anxiety, etc does not have also guess which parent does she have a strained relationship with?
i think the act was the nice guy part; once he exposed his true colors that was the real him. Not that he's an outright monster. He's just an obnoxious manipulative narcissist. ppl say Francis was the real Boogie while the nice guy was the fictional character....which is why he had the fall from grace. Ppl don't react well to being lied to and when his real persona became more obvious they abandoned ship bc of that.
Half of me expects Boogie to respond here saying: "Hey Tom, tough but fair video. I'm hoping to live long and continue to grow and be a better person. Cheers!"
Bro im 12 minutes in, just cooked up some hella bomb stir fry after getting back from the gym What the fuck do you mean he describes his fleshlight What
I'm sorry, but he was never anything more than a desperate lolcow. Had some moments where he fooled everyone, including himself, that things were changing. Dude has a bulletproof victim mentality that's not going away ever.
It's basically impossible to get pure coke anymore since everybody cuts everything with fentanyl these days. At least with meth you can make your own so you know what's in it.
he lied about having cancer. no cancer doctor wouldve approved him for that boxing match. its why he refuses to show any proof he has cancer. if he really had it he would be showing evidence of it daily for sympathy points
Francis was real all along. I have always felt this way. I frankly don't see how others couldn't have seen this coming. Boogie was trying to hide in plain sight. Like Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct - an author who murdered her boyfriend in the same manner that's described in her own novel to escape suspicion. His motivation wasn't nearly as sinister, but by acting like Francis was just a character and pretending to be comfortable with the idea of portraying someone who was pathetic, he wasn't just cultivating a fan base, he was pleading his case to the public and building up a defense for himself. "How can I be the very same type of person I'm mocking? How absurd." He was just chasing acceptance, while at the same time using it as therapy. He was admitting to everyone who he really was, but because of the "humorous" way it wasn't presented, he felt people laughed with him, not at him. I think this gave him some peace. It made him feel better about his life. But ultimately I do think Francis was always there and always wanting out in an authentic way. Sooner or later, we all reveal ourselves. It is what it is. The charade had to crumble at some point.
I think you're spot on, it's just absolutely amazing how much shenanigans people will willingly (maybe unwittingly) go through in order to avoid facing themselves.
i see it more as he was genuinely trying to get over himself by acting out this persona but ultimately failed to do so and fell back into old habits. but what do i know, ive literally never heard of this dude despite being on youtube since like 2007.
On the fence sitting. Its actually a defense mechanism. A ton of people who grew up with low self esteem tend to adopt varying degrees of "nice guy" personas and some times it can go so far as to impact their approach to politics. Basically they dont want to feed into conflict and try to avoid it at all cost due to past trauma going so far as to try to be moderate. The idea is that if two friends as arguing you want to stay on both their good sides because you are so afraid of them leaving you so you try to make everyone happy or at least stop the fighting so the social circle doesn't collapse. It rarely works in practice because when you fence sit politically and on a more micro scale (conflict between two friends) it just makes both sides resent you. Its a defensive mechanism that isn't really effective but the trauma of low self esteem and potential abandonment issues keep them in this trap. Add an audience that you are trying to score points with and the internet in general and you get disaster.
i guess thats true, but in my experience the vast majority of fence-sitting people are just normal people who are either too tired and burnt out or dont give a fuck in general about anything outside their immediate family and friends, so they just take a centrist position on everything to not rock the boat. whenever theres a school cowboy time, even politicians like to say theres blame on both sides. when they have a vested financial and social interest in squarely blaming one side. you know, the one to blame for that particular pow-pow incident
Exactly. I’m a woman and my bios list my portfolio and work info. That would be so cringe if I described myself that way. None of my friends would describe themselves that way either.
"Boogie brought two prostitutes to a friend's party without permission and they drunkenly started fingering each other until they started bleeding on the carpet." It feels like a century since Boogie used to be called the Mr. Rogers of the Internet.
Who knows. Maybe he was a sweet guy. Maybe he really loved that girl and she was his rock in a difficult existence. And when she abandoned him something in him just broke. Maybe his broken heart is why he stopped caring, why he started to hate the world again. Maybe he started to feel anger and shame and confused etc. And he couldnt handle it so it consumed him and he adopted a "fuck everyone else and fuck everything else except me" mindset as a coping mechanism. Just maybe his broken heart soured his soul on this life for good. Maybe his attempts to see the good in things and be compassionate really was genuine but between past trauma and new trauma he adopted a very anti-social mindset to cope and protect himself. Just maybe.
Boogie clearly had some real and genuine hardships and i thought for a while he was on the right path, it sucks that he fell short and then fell apart again
@@Shaddowkhan There was a time he was genuinely respected and well liked by overwhelming majority of people on the platform. For quite some time he was the furthest thing from a lol cow- he was the guy people listened to for intelligent, levelheaded comments about the current goings on. This was so long ago though that it's hard to remember times when he wasn't a walking joke that even his haters are becoming bored of...
@@joshuabacker2363youtubers are like all celebrities. You like what is shown to you. What else are they supposed to do until the truth comes out? Or until they find it? Not that i think people are the smartest but dont get cocky about yourself lol
My favorite Boogie ark was when he lost all his money then gained it all back with crypto just to loose it all again after telling everyone he was rich lol.
although Boogie's life has been re-told many times by many other channels since 2018, it's still amusing to listen to 🤣. it's like a fable being passed on to generations
I lost all patience with this guy when he released that pathetic video begging for money, despite having a sizable house and thousands of dollars of gaming paraphernalia. Telling people worse off than him "You can give a dollar if that's all you've got." A shameless grifter who doesn't care about anyone else, least of all his audience.
Boogie started out as a lolcow, and he’ll end as a lolcow. He was an outrageous novelty once - maybe 15 years ago - but clearly the issues were always there and he’s a textbook example of someone who can’t get out of their own way. Hopefully he’ll finally fade away and disappear completely sooner rather than later, but I suspect he’ll linger on and on until his self destructiveness finally culminates in a mess he can’t bounce back from.
Yeah, I suspect his subscriber numbers and donations will slowly dwindle down until the prospect of him having to seek employment/not being able to just live off pity donations hits him and he has a nervous breakdown and just dumps his remaining money into food/drugs/prostitutes and goes out in a binge that would make Belushi/Farley blush (no disrespect to Farley, I think he was very funny/every bit the great guy "boogie" claims to be, he just had his demons)
@@yellowblanka6058Yeah, Belushi and Farley had their demons but were legends whose legacies are secure. Boogie’s day in the sun has long since passed, but as usual he’ll be the last person to see the writing that’s been on the wall for quite some time. His ultimate implosion will be an ugly one, for sure.
My favorite boogie moment is when he made a Francis video in which he's sitting in a room with crazy phrases written all over the walls with an effigy of his ex wife where he proceeds to scream at it and hit it all under the guise of it being a joke Francis video when it's clear as day how the guy actually feels and literally fooled nobody lmao
I hate that this video exists because I want to love boogie so much. His fake nice side is actually a very compelling person to want to watch. He seems down to earth and normal, then he just fuckin side swipes you with the psychotic side that you absolutely can't ignore. So thank you Tom for all your hard work, I hate what boogie did to himself but love how succinctly you layer it out for us
the way he talks about.. a sex toy and women is disturbing. i hope no woman dates a man like this. he can enjoy his flesh light for the text or his life. also talking about teenaged girls virginities is disgusting.
He was just good at hiding it for a bit, until he could no longer keep up the act of the enlightened centrist and all his demons started spilling out to the public.
@@blacksesamecandies maybe that Francis character was his coping mechanism, once he stopped doing it...well he had to unleash that behaviour in some way
Boogie was initially just your friendly, relatable UA-camr like many back in the 2010’s. I personally just feel like during the presidential election and Covid crisis, these individuals have been blinded by greed and grow such an ego that apologizing for your misdeeds is somehow the nuclear option in their minds. Greed can misconstrue and alter anyone’s perception on reality.
E-begging is clearly too hard to give up. The idea of working a normal job that reflects your competences (zero in these cases) seems worse than death. It's not much different to the person who lies on the coach all day unemployed terrofied of facing realty.
It's crazy how I got feel good vibes from this man in the 2010s. I still kinda like him today, and I'm aware of his faults. He's a character that's for sure.
@@zeejustin6 yeah everyone on UA-cam is a “character” once they’re caught. It’s a sad excuse, everyone on the platform is guilty of it to get out of whatever controversy they’re in.
I think Boogie is a perfect example of someone who lives within the victim card ploy. His childhood is heartbreaking and absolutely not his fault, he definitely was a victim of just pure bullshit. But your childhood is such a small part of your entire life. Most of us by age 16-18 start to understand personal responsibility and choices, and by your mid 30s I’d like to think most of us, regardless of circumstances, understand ultimately it’s our own personal choices that dictate how things play out. Of course shit happens, nobody denies that, but we are responsible for our daily lives. I still hurt and feel empathy for him but he’s a grown man, has made tons of money, but he still plays this victim, when he’s not a victim anymore you know? Idk can’t judge to much, it’s just what I see from an outsider.
Great video and really painted a picture on Boogie’s character that opened my eyes. Also thought “A Familiar Taste” from Social Network soundtrack being used at the falling action of the video was really fitting and well used.
The whole time Frank Hassle was annoying him, he could have easily ignored frank. Boogie thought that Frank was going to hunt down and kill his family. It's hard to believe that Boogie was literally that naive.
@@luvdiacetyl and he invited Frank to his house lol. He's always bragging about being an old school 4chan troll, but he couldn't handle Frank Hassle calling him a fat liar 😂😂😂
@@luvdiacetyl Idk if you've heard of the Sidescrollers podcast with DSP, but Frank Hassle vs Boogie on the Killstream went essentially the sane for Boogie. Frank called him out on so much crap that Boogie was left seething over the podcast. He ended up false flagging Frank's channel as soon as the podcast ended and Frank made jokes that he'd come to Boogie's house. The reason he hated Frank so much and was freaking out over him coming there was likely because Frank would embarrass the same way again.
Very few people are born monsters. My kitchen psychology hot take is that he learned to lie as a coping mechanism for living in unstable family conditions as a child (even if there wasn't sexual abuse, his dad having a problem with alcohol ain't easy either). That's not an excuse ofc. Here's a better timeline: when the scandals start rolling in, admit that you have a problem with lying and trying to play a persona to please everybody. Use your UA-cam money to hire a therapist. But he hasn't done that, and the further down the rabbit hole he tumbles, the less likely it is he'll ever climb back.
He claimed (take with a huge grain of salt) his mother was quite similiar and he learned much from watching her. She presented herself as a pillar of the community, always doing charitable acts, getting praise and beloved in her teaching career. But at home she was a monster who was very abusive in all sorts of ways, which may have been a factor in his father's alcoholism if any of it is to be believed. So, not only a coping mechanism but something he watched enacted by his care-taker. He knew he probably would go much farther with less effort if he feigned victimhood and reaped the benefits of other's kindness.
There's so many lies and contradictions in Boogie's lore. He once said that his mother never abused him before age 11 but then later changed that to him being s*xually abused at age 5 by her. He's denied point blank that his dad did anything, but after apparently finding out that his sister was r*ped by him, he started telling a similar story of how his father r*ped him. This story of course had changing details (happened once, happened repeatedly, his dad only touched him, Boogie only touched his dad). He's also accused his sister of s*xually abusing him for years and years but again the story changes. When confronted by Frank Hassle (which is why he hates Frank Hassle btw), he claimed his brother gaslit him into believing his sister abused him. He later changed this into how his mother gaslit him into believing his sister abused him. So Boogie publicly lied and accused his sister of s*xually abusing him for years and years only for him to turn around and claim that he had false memories and it never happened. This is a guy who complains non-stop that his haters and trolls allegedly falsely accuse him of bad things all the time. Scumbag person. I've only scratched the surface here.
I can genuinely feel some empathy and understand how events in his life can be debilitating. After so long though, it becomes a question of what part you play in your own suffering. A man having some problems can garber themself sympathy. A man always whinning and crying about his problems, hindrances, and how this or that person has done him wrong. . . its just plain fkn annoying. It gets to be a drain. People have their own problems, we watch content, in part, to forget our own shiiiit, we dont want to get online to hear about yours.
being an abuse victim doesn't excuse you from behavior or accountability of your own your whole life. Its not some fuckin freedom to bullshit, lie, and manipulate pass.
To be fair Boogie isnt alone in terms of once really famous UA-cam stars coming to terms with being less relevant in today's world. Many UA-camrs grow up and have families and learn to move on with things. Boogie is one of those that get stuck in place in life. Millions of people go through it. Its just Boogie is stuck in the public eye and only see him as a failure.
@@TurkeyTom Turkey Tom LLC is a tight operation. Make sure you keep records of everything you put into your business to write off on your taxes. Beautiful thing abt America is if you keep putting your money back into your business, you'll do a lot better on taxes, but I imagine you probably already know that.
If someone took most people's lives and exposed every single mistake, we would each be considered "a bad person." (fwiw, this is coming from someone with a personality type of which empathy and compassion are purportedly the centrally-defining characteristics.) most people are shit and usually the more publicly-accepted are the most shtty. the "losers" in life usually turn out as the most-understanding. most people who are regarded as better merely figure out how to work the hive-mind better and from a more-secure niche or acceptance. i didn't watch the vid closely so i might've missed something. but to me this dude just looked like this is a person with severe personal issues who didn't try to hurt anyone else, but just got sucked into negativity. dealing with internet people is a nasty business and can do strange things to a individual. I was once stalked and severely harassed for literally YEARS by a local online community for "cheating" on an ex-friend (who fancied herself my gf).
I remember back in his videos detailing his abuse and health problems he made it out like he was medically incapable of sex and didnt have a sexual bone in his body...crazy to see what he was actually up to.
From what I remember when I watched some of his stuff, he never talked about anything happy. His videos were always depressing or sad or angry. It was like watching a perpetual crisis.
filthy frank was that friend you loved like family but they went off to college and you cant help but to be overjoyed and deeply saddened by their success. youre so happy for him but just wish yall could hang out again
Boogie’s the kind of person who complains about a problem, and then when given a solution to his problem, he complains about the solution and then goes back to complaining about the original problem again.
Yup the ole "a problem for every solution" persona. Those people are exhausting to be around. All they wanna do is drain you of your energy so you feel as miserable as they are. I've gotten over it and just turn their problems back on them which 9 times out of 10 is their own fault to begin with
As an ex-Boogie fan. Yeah.... Accurate A lot of us were really fond of him and were rooting for him. He became hard to watch and stomach. He stopped being the wholesome guy that we loved and became the very thing we were tired of.
@@DarksideGmss0513 people don't change like that. He just let his walls down and became who he really is. When you're married you stay on good behavior
@@raditzhoneyham He was never a great guy as Tom proved in the video. He had his skeletons, but there was definitely a change after the divorce and after meeting McJuggerNuggets. It was then that content really started to take a turn. He acted differently and irrationally, and the videos were just...boring and stale
This is so weird and interesting - i watched a handful of videos from this guy back when I guess he was in the respected neutral position era on some random issues and thought he seemed ok, but something was off about him couldnt put my finger on it. I had forgotten all about it then came upon this video, remembered him, and immediately validated that weird hunch lol. Good vid, very dark and icky person but an interesting dive into the twisted psychology
What’s funny about Boogie2988 is that he just got scammed by a scalper when he wants to buy an Xbox series x console for $500, but the scalper wants $1,500 and stole his cash app money after he opened the box and got a mini fridge instead of the video game console.
It’s so sad to see how much he has “changed”. I have a lifelong disability and growing up watching Boogie really did help me feel as though I could start to open up about how I felt about my own struggles, pain and depression surrounding my disability. However as the years have gone past, I started to notice all he was really doing was milking his situation. I appreciate the fact he initially helped me to feel comfortable discussing my own issues with my peers and friends, however now it’s almost just like watching an old friend trying to play the victim whenever possible. It’s sad.
I‘ve never really watched him regularly but I feel you as I’m also disabled. Judging from this video a lot of the shit he got in the beginning was fatphobia and ableism (even this comment section is full of it). One day he played into it for attention and money and the other day he talked about how serious and dark these subjects actually were (which they are, I don’t want to take away from his pain) for pity and to virtual signal. I get it, there are funny and sad parts about health conditions and there’s nothing wrong with finding the humour in them but with him I feel like you never really knew what was what and what his motivation was. I just wonder if everything would have gone differently for him if our society was less ableist and he would have experienced more acceptance throughout his life.
@@apollo53122 I don’t think it’s wrong to try and empathize with someone. Everybody has reasons for why they are who they are. I’m not advocating for giving him a pass on everything because of it tho.
Boogie didn't fire a 'warning shot', he fired a live round into the air where he did not know where it would land, that's called reckless endangerment, the school zone made it worse.
@andrewryan8507 can we also point out his lack of trigger discipline which proves he's another one of those deadbeat wanna be badass that buy gubs to complete their ego and think they are tough now? He opens the door finger on the trigger with a loaded gun... this is terrifying to think somebody unstable like this landwhale is allowed to have guns,. In comparison, look at Moist critical way to handle his guns, the guy knows how to correctly.
@@StoutShako no! the rule is simple, there's no such thing as warning shot. If you shoot it better be in the intent of using it as a mean of self defense. The only way anyone would be allowed to fire a round randomly is if he is allowed to do so. for example, i own 10 acres in florida, i have the right to practice shooting at will!
It´s always fascinating what struggles people are creating to just not go after a regular job. He´s even keeping his health terrible to have an argument for being unable to work.
Imagine if they made a movie about ol' boogz It'd be like a black comedy/psychological thriller set entirely in his bedroom as he copes with internet fame and reflects on his relationship with his mother. Then the film ends with him eating chips with some dip and he pauses before eating it and looks at the food then himself and recognizes the irreparable harm he's doing to his body until he finally sighs and proceeds to consume it in a single bite. The credits roll in silence aside from the sound of him munching his way to an early grave.
Holy crap, man! You're pumping out high-quality long-form content at an insane pace! I'm impressed, but also a little worried for your health and/or sanity. Don't forget to take a break.
They're very well made and the research is impressive. The one problem is, he doesn't stop talking. There needs to be more example material, ie. video of the subject, throughout. A lot of youtubers make this mistake. Perhaps to avoid strikes? Idk.
My rule of thumb, coming from being daughter to a mother with narcissistic personality disorder, is: if someone only complains and talks about negative stuff in their life; you should keep away from them. They like to make people pity them, and once they get you feeling deep sympathy, they become abusive. Then if you have the courage to stand up, they return to the complaining, the negative stuff, and the cycle goes on and on. Maybe this guy was truly abused, maybe not, but nonetheless it's not an excuse to do the same to others. If you don't grow and try to improve, the cycle will stop by people rejecting you and stop listening to your complaints or lies. Simple as that. (Sorry about my english)
As someone who experienced emotional abuse in their youth, I can’t understand why people who experience similar situations don’t develop a higher sense of empathy for others in the same situation. 😣
Null from kiwifarms said something interesting, he said that these people, DSP, Wings, Boogie, will always say they're in financial distress, but as soon as someone call them out for it they'll quickly change the tone and say they're very fine, all their taxes are paid and they're actually super rich. It's like they want the pity party but also want to be powerful at the same time.
Not defending Boogie in the least, but Kiwi Farms sounds like a forum full of sociopathic shut-ins who are as bad/worse than the people they harass. According to Wikipedia they've contributed to several suicides with their harassment campaigns.
Guys like Boogie and WOR and so on, clearly have very serious emotional issues that compel them to self sabotage over and over. Even when things seem to be going right for them, they can't get out of their own way. The last thing they need is to be constantly in the public eye. It would be better for them to just quit the internet and seek all the help they need.
i mean, goodlooking women go out with ugly guys all the time because they have money and/or a lot of followers on some form of social media. or nice abs and a fast car. its not exactly a mystery. they even have kids with that type of dude when they are clearly mentally unstable, when theyd objectively be better off raising kids with a dude that lives in a trailer park.
The way Boogie goes about dieting is like how I go about quitting alcohol. I tell everyone I'm done, but then a week or so later I'm downing 15 beers and pissing people off. I go into a cycle of me being the bad guy, the villain and use that to justify my substance abuse. I imagine Boogie does something similar, but for junk food.
don't tell anyone then. the hard part is that it's not fun to not drink if you enjoy drinking. it's completely normal to feel bad anxious etc etc if you quit something fun for some reason, you just have to fill the time with something then like playing games or wanking or spitting at the wall or wallowing in self pity or whatever anything, point is it's just time it'll pass and you'll have all the time in the world to get pissed off at the world sober, which is then completely normal as well it's not like quitting drinking is some happiness pill.
@@lasskinn474 Exactly. Telling people you're going to do something I've noticed ends up going nowhere in certain personality types (including mine). When it's something you need to work on internally, it's something you need to work on internally and not project into the outside world.
@@strawbbtarte same. I think the reward you get from telling people about what you plan to do subtracts from your motivation to actually go through with it because it's so similar to the actual accomplishment in our minds
@@drinkinouttacups2665 Absolutely this. I realized this some years ago and have been holding important self improvement like that close to my chest. It almost always backfires when i slip up and mention it. Weird how the brain works.
And that's honestly normal. Breaking addictions and long-term coping habits is extremely hard. And it's understandable when people fall off the wagon, even if it's obviously bad news. But you're at least openly acknowledging that you have a habit of falling off the wagon and showing some self-awareness about it and not trying to justify it, which seems well beyond Boogie's capabilities. Ya know, because he relies on the pity party stuff to garner attention and ultimately money...
*I have not watched A Boogie video in about 2-3 years. this was a huge history lession. it's like mourning a death of someone you thought you knew. I got he was a little screwed up because of his childhood but this takes the cake*
I won't lie, I had completely forgotten about Boogie2988 due to the fact that his content was never for me, but if I recalled a majority of his fanbase being kinda of a pain to deal with on forums and such. It' weird to see him fall in such dramatic and toxic manner.
Thank you for the nuance with which you discussed the inconsistencies in Boogie’s SA accounts. I’m only through 23 minutes so far, but I can’t ignore the deftness with which you handled that topic so far. Well done.
Problem is the majority of people on the internet are too naive, too gullible and have no intuition to be able to see through the facade UA-camrs create. People who are able to already knew Boogie was a garbage human being.

Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
I think it’s more the internet in general doesn’t understand that bad things happen from good intentions, and it’s in part that having good intentions make them look good.
So he basically told his viewers that he need their help while saying that he won't "work harder for less. It may be your choice but not mine" So he mocked his viewerbase while saying that he doesn't want to work and STILL begged. I wouldn't give him the money even if he was dying
In retrospect, you come to realise that Francis was the real guy and boogie was the fictional character
True. im always weary of anyone online who acts too sweet and wholesome, even when he was tricking his audience he leaned heavy on the victimhood. Until he got tired and went full mask off.
I saw one video that said "Its easy to hide who you are on UA-cam behind the edits but on Twitch its impossible" not a coincidence that all this started when Boogie started streaming on Twitch.

@@XxTaiMTxX I disagree. Going around in life assuming every kind person you meet is actually Sgt Barnes instead of Sgt Elias is a quick road to being extremely lonely
@@bigroaststyrone8135 I think you failed reading comprehension.
I said, "beware anyone who tries to portray themselves as 'nice' or 'inoffensive', they tend to be some of the worst people on the planet'.
Does that say, anywhere, "Treat everyone as if they're terrible people and assume everyone is out to get you?"
No?
Then, I'm not sure what you're on about.
Real people don't "Portray" themselves as anything. They're just people. Good and bad personality traits. They don't try to please anyone EXCEPT people they deeply and personally care about (very good friends, family, etcetera).
There's a marked difference between people who "act nice" and people who "are nice". Namely, the people "who are nice", it's just part of their personality and it goes in and out depending on their mood and who they're interacting with. People who "act nice", try to please as many people as possible and typically also try to "shame others" for not being as nice as they are. Or, they try to justify "being nice" to other people when they shouldn't.
The fun part about Boogie:
The only people that fell for his "I'm nice" and "I'm inoffensive" shtick are those who would've also fell for Ted Bundy's stuff. No self-preservation in their genes. Living with blinders on. Sheep in a sea of wolves. They've dulled their instincts and are unable to see people as they truly are.
I'm trying to teach you how to be a wolf so wolves don't eat you.
Boogie is one of those people who is ALWAYS going through some kind of tragedy. Watching his content is like watching a non-stop pity party.
that sounds really depressing
@@ironmaster6496 It is. I have clinical depression and I don't get his (older) content. People always say he helped them in his earlier YT vids were he talked about his troubles. But it's just too much, feels like a pity party more then some advice ("Ohhh... someone else is in a bad place like me! Yay! Internet friends in suffering!") and because of that he doesn't know when to shut up, resulting in oversharing. Even Francis was always annoying cringe to me and I was a video games loving teen/kid back then when he invented his Francis stick.
And somehow nothing is ever his fault. He’s always the victim.
Because that is his entire personality.
Boogie is definitely a fascinating case for analysis of narcissism.

He eats fast food in every vlog he’s in.
sadly a comfortable society like we have makes such people survive decades over their supposed lifespan.
The tale of Boogie is a good lesson for anyone who relates to those posted about on
r/niceguys. Being generally "nice" and having a victim complex is not likely to get you anywhere, and if by chance at first it does, you're likely to lose it all once people see enough if you to find out what you're really like.
Boogie didn’t deserve the difficulties he faced during his youth. That said, at a certain point it’s up to personal responsibility to take the steps to bettering yourself. Being a victim as a child wasn’t his fault, but as an adult he actively harms himself with his choices.
NGL if you read boogie's childhood without context of who he was, I would guess you were giving the origins to a serial killer or something
correct. a shitty childhood is no excuse to being a cunt as an adult

This is just depressing. I watched Boogie since 2012 and watched his rise, and always thought he was an inspirational figure. My mother has had her own struggles with physical and mental health and drew a lot of joy from Boogies videos… how disappointed she would be at the state of his channel now. As many others have said, it seems very few of the “OG” UA-camrs from the early 2010’s have their reputations untarnished nowadays. Great video covering this mate 👍
I think part of why so many of the OGs have fallen is because all of the content that wasn't silly nonsense like skits and gag humor was very focused on on the individual themselves vs the content they were creating. People filmed themselves doing things, just living their lives, talking and telling stories. That's very different compared to now when so much content is talking about other things, reactions, commentary, reviews, interviews, deep dives, etc.
I feel like because of that, the type of people who made videos to upload on UA-cam were a different type of person, a much more egocentric, self focused person. Self centered people tend not to handle criticism well and also when the content is about the creator, the interest is in the creator so people are more likely to go digging and find out stuff about the creator that they hoped would stay hidden.
Im not exactly explaining this well but that's a theory I have for why pretty much all the big youtuber OGs have fallen from grace.

Having just watched the segment regarding Boogie's fence-sitting, I would just like to chime-in and say: I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
It's funny cause I don't know if he stole the fake fence sitting from Tim Pool, or Tim Pool stole it from him, or if both stole it from Phillip DeFranco.
Normally I'm often annoyed when centrists are being antagonized as "fence sitters", because sometimes when you have two equally, lunatically extreme opposed choices, not picking either of them can be reasonable, but then Tom's last word on the matter hit a chord with me.
Yes, sometimes, when your options boil down to "the giant douche or the turd sandwich", not aligning yourself with either of the two extremes can be wise, but if you do that, you should at least have a better alternative in mind. If you don't, and can't add anything to to conversation, you aren't helping.
@@MarvinPowell1 Tim Pool is clearly right-wing. How is he fence sitting?
@@Horvath_Gabor It's one thing to not align with either side ; it's another to not take a side and say that you don't have strong opinions about a topic either way. Most centrists are the former, while those who deserve to be mocked as fence sitters are the latter.
@@MarvinPowell1 Tim Pool s the most right wing guy that ever right winged.
It's sad because he was an inspiration to me.
I'm a cripple, and seeing him battle depression & his weight back in the 201x was inspirational. I thought that if that guy could work it out then I had to try to get better too. I thought that his slow progression was good to see because that's not a "I changed in 3 months, do the same" and it made him more human.
But years after years I felt like he was just having excuses & became pathetic. My respect turned to disdain. He became an awful person.
The realization didn't stop me from trying to improve myself, but still it's a bit sad to see someone I looked up to fall from grace like this.
I am glad you never stopped improving despite losing your hero. You rock! We are all not strong and sometimes we need to be reminded of what we need to do.
@@darkcoeficient Thanks. It's also part of the stoic way. Others should not get in the way of you (you as in general) evolving.

He was never a hero, he just was a lot more careful to keep his mask on back then. All of his kindness was fake.

Francis was real all along. I have always felt this way. I frankly don't see how others couldn't have seen this coming. Boogie was trying to hide in plain sight. Like Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct - an author who murdered her boyfriend in the same manner that's described in her own novel to escape suspicion. His motivation wasn't nearly as sinister, but by acting like Francis was just a character and pretending to be comfortable with the idea of portraying someone who was pathetic, he wasn't just cultivating a fan base, he was pleading his case to the public and building up a defense for himself. "How can I be the very same type of person I'm mocking? How absurd." He was just chasing acceptance, while at the same time using it as therapy. He was admitting to everyone who he really was, but because of the "humorous" way it wasn't presented, he felt people laughed with him, not at him. I think this gave him some peace. It made him feel better about his life. But ultimately I do think Francis was always there and always wanting out in an authentic way. Sooner or later, we all reveal ourselves. It is what it is. The charade had to crumble at some point.
I think you're spot on, it's just absolutely amazing how much shenanigans people will willingly (maybe unwittingly) go through in order to avoid facing themselves.
i see it more as he was genuinely trying to get over himself by acting out this persona but ultimately failed to do so and fell back into old habits. but what do i know, ive literally never heard of this dude despite being on youtube since like 2007.
Why do you sound like boogie
On the fence sitting. Its actually a defense mechanism. A ton of people who grew up with low self esteem tend to adopt varying degrees of "nice guy" personas and some times it can go so far as to impact their approach to politics. Basically they dont want to feed into conflict and try to avoid it at all cost due to past trauma going so far as to try to be moderate. The idea is that if two friends as arguing you want to stay on both their good sides because you are so afraid of them leaving you so you try to make everyone happy or at least stop the fighting so the social circle doesn't collapse. It rarely works in practice because when you fence sit politically and on a more micro scale (conflict between two friends) it just makes both sides resent you.
Its a defensive mechanism that isn't really effective but the trauma of low self esteem and potential abandonment issues keep them in this trap. Add an audience that you are trying to score points with and the internet in general and you get disaster.
i guess thats true, but in my experience the vast majority of fence-sitting people are just normal people who are either too tired and burnt out or dont give a fuck in general about anything outside their immediate family and friends, so they just take a centrist position on everything to not rock the boat.
whenever theres a school cowboy time, even politicians like to say theres blame on both sides. when they have a vested financial and social interest in squarely blaming one side. you know, the one to blame for that particular pow-pow incident

His wife divorcing him really broke the illusion that he was a sweet guy.
Who knows. Maybe he was a sweet guy. Maybe he really loved that girl and she was his rock in a difficult existence. And when she abandoned him something in him just broke. Maybe his broken heart is why he stopped caring, why he started to hate the world again. Maybe he started to feel anger and shame and confused etc. And he couldnt handle it so it consumed him and he adopted a "fuck everyone else and fuck everything else except me" mindset as a coping mechanism. Just maybe his broken heart soured his soul on this life for good. Maybe his attempts to see the good in things and be compassionate really was genuine but between past trauma and new trauma he adopted a very anti-social mindset to cope and protect himself. Just maybe.

Boogie was initially just your friendly, relatable UA-camr like many back in the 2010’s. I personally just feel like during the presidential election and Covid crisis, these individuals have been blinded by greed and grow such an ego that apologizing for your misdeeds is somehow the nuclear option in their minds. Greed can misconstrue and alter anyone’s perception on reality.
E-begging is clearly too hard to give up. The idea of working a normal job that reflects your competences (zero in these cases) seems worse than death. It's not much different to the person who lies on the coach all day unemployed terrofied of facing realty.
2016 elections broke UA-cam.
The signs were always there. Boogie could barely speak 3 words without making it about his own martyrdom, long before his "downfall".
It's crazy how I got feel good vibes from this man in the 2010s. I still kinda like him today, and I'm aware of his faults. He's a character that's for sure.
@@zeejustin6 yeah everyone on UA-cam is a “character” once they’re caught. It’s a sad excuse, everyone on the platform is guilty of it to get out of whatever controversy they’re in.
I think Boogie is a perfect example of someone who lives within the victim card ploy.
His childhood is heartbreaking and absolutely not his fault, he definitely was a victim of just pure bullshit.
But your childhood is such a small part of your entire life. Most of us by age 16-18 start to understand personal responsibility and choices, and by your mid 30s I’d like to think most of us, regardless of circumstances, understand ultimately it’s our own personal choices that dictate how things play out. Of course shit happens, nobody denies that, but we are responsible for our daily lives.
I still hurt and feel empathy for him but he’s a grown man, has made tons of money, but he still plays this victim, when he’s not a victim anymore you know?
Idk can’t judge to much, it’s just what I see from an outsider.
According to his sister their childhoods were no better or worse than most kids and Boogie is a compulsive liar.
Great video and really painted a picture on Boogie’s character that opened my eyes. Also thought “A Familiar Taste” from Social Network soundtrack being used at the falling action of the video was really fitting and well used.
The whole time Frank Hassle was annoying him, he could have easily ignored frank. Boogie thought that Frank was going to hunt down and kill his family. It's hard to believe that Boogie was literally that naive.
@@luvdiacetyl and he invited Frank to his house lol. He's always bragging about being an old school 4chan troll, but he couldn't handle Frank Hassle calling him a fat liar 😂😂😂
@@wj8821 Yeah, he *literally did* invite Frank to come to his house...
If Frank had shown up unprovoked and uninvited then it'd be a different story
Considering the situation, Frank's lucky Boogie's a coward.
@@luvdiacetyl Idk if you've heard of the Sidescrollers podcast with DSP, but Frank Hassle vs Boogie on the Killstream went essentially the sane for Boogie. Frank called him out on so much crap that Boogie was left seething over the podcast. He ended up false flagging Frank's channel as soon as the podcast ended and Frank made jokes that he'd come to Boogie's house. The reason he hated Frank so much and was freaking out over him coming there was likely because Frank would embarrass the same way again.
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitor How did he "invite" him?
Very few people are born monsters. My kitchen psychology hot take is that he learned to lie as a coping mechanism for living in unstable family conditions as a child (even if there wasn't sexual abuse, his dad having a problem with alcohol ain't easy either). That's not an excuse ofc. Here's a better timeline: when the scandals start rolling in, admit that you have a problem with lying and trying to play a persona to please everybody. Use your UA-cam money to hire a therapist. But he hasn't done that, and the further down the rabbit hole he tumbles, the less likely it is he'll ever climb back.
Don't get it that he was never abused? It was all a lie.
He claimed (take with a huge grain of salt) his mother was quite similiar and he learned much from watching her. She presented herself as a pillar of the community, always doing charitable acts, getting praise and beloved in her teaching career. But at home she was a monster who was very abusive in all sorts of ways, which may have been a factor in his father's alcoholism if any of it is to be believed. So, not only a coping mechanism but something he watched enacted by his care-taker. He knew he probably would go much farther with less effort if he feigned victimhood and reaped the benefits of other's kindness.
@@blacksesamecandies Thats easy to see as a lie.
Kitchen psychology? OMG Stop LITERALLY gang stalking me and looking through my webcams I’m LITERALLY in the KITCHEN RN!!!! ZOMG 😻😻😻😻😻
There's so many lies and contradictions in Boogie's lore. He once said that his mother never abused him before age 11 but then later changed that to him being s*xually abused at age 5 by her.
He's denied point blank that his dad did anything, but after apparently finding out that his sister was r*ped by him, he started telling a similar story of how his father r*ped him. This story of course had changing details (happened once, happened repeatedly, his dad only touched him, Boogie only touched his dad).
He's also accused his sister of s*xually abusing him for years and years but again the story changes. When confronted by Frank Hassle (which is why he hates Frank Hassle btw), he claimed his brother gaslit him into believing his sister abused him. He later changed this into how his mother gaslit him into believing his sister abused him. So Boogie publicly lied and accused his sister of s*xually abusing him for years and years only for him to turn around and claim that he had false memories and it never happened.
This is a guy who complains non-stop that his haters and trolls allegedly falsely accuse him of bad things all the time. Scumbag person. I've only scratched the surface here.
I can genuinely feel some empathy and understand how events in his life can be debilitating.
After so long though, it becomes a question of what part you play in your own suffering. A man having some problems can garber themself sympathy. A man always whinning and crying about his problems, hindrances, and how this or that person has done him wrong. . . its just plain fkn annoying. It gets to be a drain. People have their own problems, we watch content, in part, to forget our own shiiiit, we dont want to get online to hear about yours.
being an abuse victim doesn't excuse you from behavior or accountability of your own your whole life. Its not some fuckin freedom to bullshit, lie, and manipulate pass.
To be fair Boogie isnt alone in terms of once really famous UA-cam stars coming to terms with being less relevant in today's world. Many UA-camrs grow up and have families and learn to move on with things. Boogie is one of those that get stuck in place in life. Millions of people go through it. Its just Boogie is stuck in the public eye and only see him as a failure.
He is the youtuber who lies the most.

I’m so sad about this. I loved Boogie. He was a big part of my childhood.
It sucks that he’s a bad person.
If someone took most people's lives and exposed every single mistake, we would each be considered "a bad person."
(fwiw, this is coming from someone with a personality type of which empathy and compassion are purportedly the centrally-defining characteristics.)
most people are shit and usually the more publicly-accepted are the most shtty. the "losers" in life usually turn out as the most-understanding.
most people who are regarded as better merely figure out how to work the hive-mind better and from a more-secure niche or acceptance.
i didn't watch the vid closely so i might've missed something. but to me this dude just looked like this is a person with severe personal issues who didn't try to hurt anyone else, but just got sucked into negativity.
dealing with internet people is a nasty business and can do strange things to a individual. I was once stalked and severely harassed for literally YEARS by a local online community for "cheating" on an ex-friend (who fancied herself my gf).
@@luceatlux7087found the boogie alt
I remember back in his videos detailing his abuse and health problems he made it out like he was medically incapable of sex and didnt have a sexual bone in his body...crazy to see what he was actually up to.
From what I remember when I watched some of his stuff, he never talked about anything happy. His videos were always depressing or sad or angry. It was like watching a perpetual crisis.
filthy frank was that friend you loved like family but they went off to college and you cant help but to be overjoyed and deeply saddened by their success. youre so happy for him but just wish yall could hang out again
Boogie’s the kind of person who complains about a problem, and then when given a solution to his problem, he complains about the solution and then goes back to complaining about the original problem again.
Yup the ole "a problem for every solution" persona. Those people are exhausting to be around. All they wanna do is drain you of your energy so you feel as miserable as they are. I've gotten over it and just turn their problems back on them which 9 times out of 10 is their own fault to begin with

I had forgotten all about it then came upon this video, remembered him, and immediately validated that weird hunch lol. Good vid, very dark and icky person but an interesting dive into the twisted psychology
UA-cam is the monkey paw to the question "What would the world look like if losers could become popular"
What’s funny about Boogie2988 is that he just got scammed by a scalper when he wants to buy an Xbox series x console for $500, but the scalper wants $1,500 and stole his cash app money after he opened the box and got a mini fridge instead of the video game console.
Who the hell scalps Series X now? I thought it was quite easy to just go to retail store and buy one for MSRP, at least in US?..

@@manoftherainshorts9075it wasn’t. Nowhere had them
It’s so sad to see how much he has “changed”. I have a lifelong disability and growing up watching Boogie really did help me feel as though I could start to open up about how I felt about my own struggles, pain and depression surrounding my disability. However as the years have gone past, I started to notice all he was really doing was milking his situation. I appreciate the fact he initially helped me to feel comfortable discussing my own issues with my peers and friends, however now it’s almost just like watching an old friend trying to play the victim whenever possible. It’s sad.
I‘ve never really watched him regularly but I feel you as I’m also disabled. Judging from this video a lot of the shit he got in the beginning was fatphobia and ableism (even this comment section is full of it). One day he played into it for attention and money and the other day he talked about how serious and dark these subjects actually were (which they are, I don’t want to take away from his pain) for pity and to virtual signal. I get it, there are funny and sad parts about health conditions and there’s nothing wrong with finding the humour in them but with him I feel like you never really knew what was what and what his motivation was. I just wonder if everything would have gone differently for him if our society was less ableist and he would have experienced more acceptance throughout his life.

Boogie didn't fire a 'warning shot', he fired a live round into the air where he did not know where it would land, that's called reckless endangerment, the school zone made it worse.
@andrewryan8507 can we also point out his lack of trigger discipline which proves he's another one of those deadbeat wanna be badass that buy gubs to complete their ego and think they are tough now?
He opens the door finger on the trigger with a loaded gun... this is terrifying to think somebody unstable like this landwhale is allowed to have guns,.

@@StoutShako no! the rule is simple, there's no such thing as warning shot.
If you shoot it better be in the intent of using it as a mean of self defense.
The only way anyone would be allowed to fire a round randomly is if he is allowed to do so. for example, i own 10 acres in florida, i have the right to practice shooting at will!

Then the film ends with him eating chips with some dip and he pauses before eating it and looks at the food then himself and recognizes the irreparable harm he's doing to his body until he finally sighs and proceeds to consume it in a single bite.

They're very well made and the research is impressive. The one problem is, he doesn't stop talking. There needs to be more example material, ie. video of the subject, throughout. A lot of youtubers make this mistake. Perhaps to avoid strikes? Idk.
My rule of thumb, coming from being daughter to a mother with narcissistic personality disorder, is: if someone only complains and talks about negative stuff in their life; you should keep away from them. They like to make people pity them, and once they get you feeling deep sympathy, they become abusive. Then if you have the courage to stand up, they return to the complaining, the negative stuff, and the cycle goes on and on.
Maybe this guy was truly abused, maybe not, but nonetheless it's not an excuse to do the same to others. If you don't grow and try to improve, the cycle will stop by people rejecting you and stop listening to your complaints or lies. Simple as that.

Null from kiwifarms said something interesting, he said that these people, DSP, Wings, Boogie, will always say they're in financial distress, but as soon as someone call them out for it they'll quickly change the tone and say they're very fine, all their taxes are paid and they're actually super rich. It's like they want the pity party but also want to be powerful at the same time.
Good ol Null.
That seems to be a common theme with these particular variant of lolcows.
Not defending Boogie in the least, but Kiwi Farms sounds like a forum full of sociopathic shut-ins who are as bad/worse than the people they harass. According to Wikipedia they've contributed to several suicides with their harassment campaigns.
Guys like Boogie and WOR and so on, clearly have very serious emotional issues that compel them to self sabotage over and over. Even when things seem to be going right for them, they can't get out of their own way. The last thing they need is to be constantly in the public eye. It would be better for them to just quit the internet and seek all the help they need.
They won't. Boogie hides behind the excuse that the internet helps him and / or that he uses the internet to help others.
"Gimme your money, because I won't go outside and work hard to earn less". A true genius.
"work smart, not hard"
It makes sense now, I used to be completely confused on how lucy ended up with a guy like boogie with her looks lmao.
i mean, goodlooking women go out with ugly guys all the time because they have money and/or a lot of followers on some form of social media. or nice abs and a fast car. its not exactly a mystery. they even have kids with that type of dude when they are clearly mentally unstable, when theyd objectively be better off raising kids with a dude that lives in a trailer park.
It’s sad seeing him fall so far. But at the same time, it brings an odd sense of clarity.
The way Boogie goes about dieting is like how I go about quitting alcohol. I tell everyone I'm done, but then a week or so later I'm downing 15 beers and pissing people off. I go into a cycle of me being the bad guy, the villain and use that to justify my substance abuse. I imagine Boogie does something similar, but for junk food.
don't tell anyone then.
the hard part is that it's not fun to not drink if you enjoy drinking. it's completely normal to feel bad anxious etc etc if you quit something fun for some reason, you just have to fill the time with something then like playing games or wanking or spitting at the wall or wallowing in self pity or whatever anything, point is it's just time it'll pass and you'll have all the time in the world to get pissed off at the world sober, which is then completely normal as well it's not like quitting drinking is some happiness pill.

Boogie obviously watched too many movies. He thinks a 'warning shot' is a real thing.
He should have gone to jail for that.
So he basically told his viewers that he need their help while saying that he won't "work harder for less. It may be your choice but not mine"
So he mocked his viewerbase while saying that he doesn't want to work and STILL begged. I wouldn't give him the money even if he was dying
