How fucking anxious and stressed were they when they were trying to save the first story family, only to fail? That's something you never forget. That guy ruined so many lives just because he was too cowardly to tell his parents he had failed.
@@grrrrbabyverygrrr8165 For one, the guy had a history of edgy jokes in a similar vein. Definitely concerning, but you'd call their parents before you'd call the police. For two, they had basically zero information on the guy. You're calling the police to what? Report a guy you only know through discord? Cool. Police are going to ask for details, which you don't have without some sleuthing. Police don't have a magical database that can find anyone. How stupid are you? And for third, nobody knew until the moment he did it, and even then, there are people who claim to have done messed up crap on the internet all the time. It's not that we should doubt every psycho with an internet connection, but let's not go out of our way to call the cops every time someone posts something concerning.
i actually did the same thing, lying to my therapist and mom about going to uni, skipping mostly. though at one point I just couldn't take the lie anymore and confessed. were they angry? yeah, but i felt so much better afterwards, and it helped me get a stronger medication dosage for adhd. my advice is to take your time, there shouldnt be pressure to go straight into uni. and if you do go and end up messing up, please tell your parents. they'll be upset, but will help you prevent this from happening in the future.
Better yet, don't go at all. Learn a useful skill instead. There are very few jobs you actually need a college degree for. Social skills and willingness to learn and work hard are much more valuable to any employer.
I hope you’re doing well, College isn’t for everyone and thats a fact. It disgusts me that someone was willing to kill their whole family because they couldnt grow a pair.
This happened to me too. I completely lied about still participating in uni even though during the pandemic, it was the worst of my life. Lying about it suffocated me the most to a point i went absolutely silent, cutting my self off from the outside world for 3 years. Not until end of 2022 things came clean, and yeah, it was awful but it felt so much better to have it out there and admit you're so tired of it all. Never had help unfortunately because its not available here, poverty and all but there's always answers when you stay strong enough. (
You lied to your therapist of all people? Not even family or friends? Weird... It's cool that it got you a stronger dose of pharmaceutical amphetamines though, everyone loves adderall.
Same. I was going to community college and ended up just skipping most of my classes for like 2 semesters. Was super depressed and lost 10 pounds. Can't even remember how my parents found out, but they did and I just broke down crying. Totally weight off of me. Went to therapy and got medicated after that. I did end up getting my degree though.
I remember believing the myth years ago that Jeff the killer was based on a girl who was bullied into suicide and when I saw Mariko’s picture I was terrified it was going to lead to that. I really hope Mariko is ok where ever she is
ironic that the myth ended up bearing similarities to the likely actual story...hopefully just up to the girl being bullied for her weight part though, and not any further
The worst thing is that he is able to think, he understands what he is doing and knows it is evil and disgusting, yet he wants to go through with it. But why would you do that??? It makes no sense.
Right? Just run away. But we see this in extremely controlling families who focus so much attention and effort on one kid. They aren’t given the skills to succeed but are told that they will shame everyone and destroy their lives if they don’t. Parenting skills should be required at every kind of school, and not ones designed by control freaks.
I don’t understand how we as a society and our justice systems could even allow someone like him to ever be released. The fact that it’s even a possibility is absolutely mind blowing. If you’re capable of doing what he did, how could you ever be fit to live with others? How should you ever have the right to live with others?
Biggest coward I have heard of. I'm guessing though that his parents had put intense pressure on their perfect son and had crazy expectations and he finally just had enough. But to murder his innocent sister too, so vile, such a coward.
Imagine how horrible it would be to hear a commercial that there are SEVEN THOUSAND wanted suspects at large. They definitely could have worded that PSA better, no wonder it traumatized so many people.
There are approximately 540 wanted criminals in Japan as of the end of September 2023. So I think it's a little suspicious that there were 7,100 wanted criminals across Japan in 1975. The number of wanted criminals at 7,100 is more than 10 times the current number. The article in the magazine ``omoshiro-hanvun'' was transcribed from the commercial that the editor saw, so I think there was probably some kind of typo or mishearing.
@hatsumino-vf4xe my assumption would be that the number was higher then because science! Lol But honestly, now days with CCTV, internet and forensics being so far beyond the imagination in 1975... it's a lot harder to be a fugitive now. I mean, even since September 11, international travel laws are very different.
Skin here! Thank you so much for the credit in your awesome video. I nearly dropped when I got to the end of the video and saw you cover the breakthrough in the JTK case. It was a very nice surprise to watch with friends. Much of this information wouldn't be in the document if it wasn't for Milk, Prime and Lifted helping me since either my first day, or theirs. They're such wonderful people, and clever investigators. I can't wait to get back to the search, and hopefully uncover more of this story, so we can put it to rest. Thank you again for the credit and amazing video, as always. 💕
I remember Peacock put out a documentary about the first story. It may or may not still be on there, but it’s called Perfect World: A Deadly Game. Such a truly sad and disturbing case. The documentary shows just how difficult of a position his fellow discord members were put in. A lot of the 911 operators they initially reached didn’t take them seriously because they didn’t have any real information on the guy.
Here in Italy we have a big problem of people lie about their university, telling their parents about a graduation date when there is none, and then taking their own life. This year we had at least 10 people doing this (number might be higher, I am just recalling the one I remember from the news). It's always sad to hear about it on the news 😢 What the discord killer did was way worse thought. I feel bad specially for the sister: with her rebel personality, if she had known, she could have helped him.
I feel like it shows there’s a much bigger issue there other than kids just lying or being cowardly. I feel like those people are out under immense pressure by their parents or communities, which is why they do what they do. Menhaz just went the other way. His actions are horrible, absolutely, and I also think his sister would have been on his side, but I do feel like he felt trapped too, to the point where he couldn’t see a different outcome. And he didn’t kill himself i stead because he said he didn’t want his parents to live with the shame of having such a failure as a son. That is also something that’s been instilled in him by his parents and or community. It’s such a complex situation imo.
I'm not going to lie this was me when I was 19. I'm lucky my mom somehow found out I was skipping classes and then my family really supported me through that dark time. I'm just going to say I get why some students do this. If you already have severe depression and anxiety it can be easier to imagine yourself dead than facing your parents disappointment. What Menhaz did was inexcusable, but to me I get why other people would lie about it, it's not logical but it's just a product of anxiety.
im barely finishing highschool, and i can totally see myself doing this atp. my dad was the first one in our family to actually graduate university, making him the wealthiest in the family. you can imagine that he'd want all of his kids to do the same thing. I'd rather fucking kms than fail him.
@@whizkeysh0tLet’s say you do go to college and it doesn’t work out, just know you can always leave and come back. I felt like a failure by dropping out of college cuz it was too hard of a degree, but I’m faced with the fact that I can always go back for something else. Honestly, I might even go back. Idk yet, but I’m only 19. I just don’t feel like it’s the right time to go for me. And who am I disappointing by not going YET?
@@neo0499 Society pushes youth too much to go asap, but nothing is wrong with building up wealth and taking a break first. Going from daily homework for a decade plus to x2 daily homework is just sad imo. I think I could handle daily homework, but I’m just not sure when I’ll actually be ready for it again. Now that I’m out, I’m a little off-put by having no free time because of homework. It certainly sucks how life works, lol.
@@amodernalchemist432suzakumaru. Lazy refers to him as Suza. He maintained the diet diary online and is the reason people treated her horribly online.
it's unfortunate that these large creators are basically doing the same thing suza did but with a much greater reach. sharing her name and all of these photos without her consent, opening her up to renewed scrutiny and harassment. sure, there are plenty of people who feel bad for her and wouldn't bully her, but she'll now be almost exclusively defined as "the jeff the killer girl", regardless of how her life has changed in the years since. if she wanted to be known for this, she would have come forward and presented the evidence herself. digging through the intimate details of her life and abuse just to find the source image of a meme feels cruel and voyeuristic, but that's what gets the views
Wonder how he'd feel if he was turned into something? Shouldn't link it to a Creepy Pasta OR if it is? It should be something that would be incredibly triggering for him. I dunno make him a gay, love doll or something haha.
@@raffishrabbit Completely unhinged take, bud. For one, you're assuming Mariko even cares enough about that part of her life to attach any meaning to Lazy's video, let alone knows the channel exists. For two, you're assuming the people who view Lazy are as unhinged as you are and will go out of their way to harass the woman. For three, do you really think she knew about JTK let alone invested an ounce of her life into it? Highly unlikely. Rather than projecting your craziness onto others, seek help.
I hope mariko is doing okay wherever she is. it must have been so traumatic being blasted on the internet by your own boyfriend for hundreds of people to criticize and bully you. I hope he gets his karma. and to mariko, you probably won't see this, but I'm sorry you suffered like this. you didn't deserve it. you aren't to blame.
He'd rather they be d3ad than feel shame. And it was planned long in advance. How frickin' scary. He's a selfish coward with all the feeling of a robot.
@@cdes1776 the planning in advance is the worst part about his desire to kill them. he had 3 years to get his shit together (which at his age was extremely doable) but instead he does this shit. absolutely pathetic human being.
So many cases where kids lie to their family about going to college and being successful. I wish there was not such a push for kids to have their crap together and go to college immediately after high school. I was a straight A student in high school, went to a good college, and I still regret to this day not exploring trade school or an apprenticeship. Parents need to stop putting so much pressure on their kids to succeed in higher ed because it almost always ends up with burnout. You have to find passion and drive within yourself, not by being pushed to be an engineer or a doctor or lawyer.
I couldn’t agree more with you. At 18, 19, 20 you’re still so young. There’s way too much pressure. Even now with my son going to high school I’m trying to get the other parents who are pushing their kids to go to really hard and demanding schools to take a step back. Pushing your kids that hard only backfires. Should I have tried harder, been pushed a bit more? Sure. I regret not taking school seriously at all. But there’s a happy medium. 2 of the parents my son is friends with have to do like 3 hours of work after school. Why? There’s barely any homework. Kids are tired. They’re giving extra work and it’s not fair.
@@cxntbagel Are you Canadian? Or familiar with Toronto? I am. Toronto is huge with many suburbs and too pinpoint exactly where they were too was like finding a needle in a haystack lol it’s like calling the LAPD and telling them someone in Hollywood needs assistance 🤷🏻♀️
I hope Mariko is okay. The fact that this distorted image of her in what was probably a very dark and sad time in her life is still floating around, and so prominently, must be hard- I kinda hope that she somehow, some way, hasn't seen the picture or doesn't know it's her. Considering how closely the facial details match up, I'm personally convinced and I consider it solved. And if people keep searching, and if somehow Mariko is found, let's please all agree to be respectful to her, yea?
So the first dude's literally like "My options are get yelled at by my parents and leave home or spend the rest of my life in jail... Yeah second one makes way more sense, lets do that."
nah fr, bros option was temporarily be scolded and move on with his life to make his parents proud in the future, OR like you said life in prison. i can see why he failed school.
Why? She's not doing anything that contributes to the finding of the image. For real, people on this comment section are blowing out of proportion what she went through and make it seem as if she wa the victim of a psychopath or something similar.
@@agentepolaris4914 what she went through was terrible. Somebody she trusted put pictures and videos of her on the Internet just so other people could torment her.
@@agentepolaris4914she was bullied and harassed for years she was literally the target of cringe worthy edgelords online who would fit the psychopath profile and used her images without consent for no other reason than to be rats online. Pretty sure if we found some images of yourself and bullied you for years you wouldn’t be feeling to great about it but anime pfp so eh I’m sure you’re desensitised to bullying.
@agentpolaris4914 YOU are the reason that she deserves the money. You, and others just like you. How about showing everyone what you really look like, make sure it's a picture you hate, then have fuck knows how many people tell you how you should go and "end yourself". And make sure it's someone who you believe loves you that is posting more and more horrible, disgusting, manipulated pictures of you, saying how ugly and disgusting you are. See how it makes you feel. Then, and only then can you have any type of opinion of whether or not she needs to be COMPENSATED for what she was put through. But, until then , keep your idiotic opinions to yourself.🤬 And this is my TED TALK! 😁
36:24 "as discovered by users prime, lifted, milk, and eatrawskin" this is why I love reddit/discord investigations lmfao. It's never professional names ofc cuz it's the internet but it's so funny to hear the usernames that contributed to a discovery
I don’t know the english term for it as I learned about it from a Danish psychologist who specialises in crime. Essentially some people under extreme stress (lying about going to uni) temporarily lose the ability to clearly consider the consequences to their actions. This results in them coming up with extreme short-term solutions (sometimes suicide or murder). Now I can’t say if that’s the case for anything mentioned here, so don’t take this as being the case with anything mentioned in the video.
It really is disturbing to contemplate 😮 that you are freaked out by the thought of killing someone you hate shows you have empathy. It’s a healthy, natural human response to feel repulsed, stressed, overwhelmed by anxiety and terror by the thought of actually ending a person’s life. It really bothers me when people think this is a sign of weakness 😒 I do wonder if there’s possibly a situation where I would kill someone e.g if I caught a predator attempting to kill a member of my family then I’d have to step in and do something drastic. That action could result in said person ending up dead. It’s crazy to think about. Perhaps I may sound a little contrary but I’m trying to say that there are grey areas when it comes to killing another human being. That’s a really extreme scenario though and I genuinely hope it’s a set of circumstances I never get caught up in! Ok… that was a bit heavy, I think I’ll need to go watch some cute dog videos or watch something funny
I really do hope where ever Mariko is, she's living her best life. And I hope her good for nothing bf is somewhere miserable by himself. I know Japan has some serious discrimination issues regarding weight, living in a country with such a strict standard is already hard to deal with on its own, but having your own partner mock and bully you when your trying to better yourself just takes the motivation right outta you. Regardless of her weight, she shouldn't have gone through such a sadistic torment. If by chance she finds out about the whole JTK thing, and maybe even chimes in, I hope all who have been searching treats her with the damn respect she deserves. I couldn't imagine the horrible memories she'd live through if she ever saw those damn photos.
I hope so, but I hope what it has become makes her laugh too. I mean instead of the opposite. Maybe she could get some light out of what seems like a really dark period.
@@GoddessPallasAthena narcissist and a low steem woman and no ones must be harassed for weigth i l becanorexic all Life till i had a daugther without havin the big Nelly but i died in 26 2017 came back i was full of meds and methadone when the doses were High gave me diabetesi i took200ml so i Lost 40kg in six month a thing u die cause i was 94kilos my husband likes anyway my second instead had the beautiful version of me Who abused and tormented if i was like six month ago with him was Happy see how gealous as her e . Now i m back my weigth i m six feet tall so poor her some don t understand men mostly i readbad commenta here too
Apparently its still a big problem, saw a recent video of asking girls on the street about thier relationships. One girl, who wasn't even fat said "oh yeah my boyfriend says I should loose weight cause he's embarrassed to stand beside me" 😅 and everyone in the comments was like wtf 😟 Edit, the video was: Asian Boss "what is the ideal weight for Japanese girls street interview"
@Ojo10 ahh I think Ive seen that one! Yeah Mariko's case is certainly not uncommon. Weightshaming is literally everywhere, but holy hell is it hella common in East Asia. Its appalling how much it happens there, that the women don't even question the toxicity of it. It just happens and they learn to take it. Really unfortunate.
The first story was very similar to a story about this Asian girl named Jennifer Pan from Canada. Her parents were "Tiger Parents" and had very high expectations. Her dad was very strict. She lied about going to college but instead skipped classes to be with her BF. She then planned a hit on her parents... Although I'm not excusing the disgusting and disturbing behaviors of these killers, the tiger parenting technique does need to end as it badly affects mental health.
I don’t condone Jennifer’s actions in any way, but I also can’t bring myself to feel bad for her parents. I think they sealed their own fates with how horribly they treated their daughter
@@LatinoLover they didn't treat her like absolute trash nor were they evil, they were just strict parents who wanted her to succeed (particularly her father, her mother apparently wasn't really strict like the father but she was killed regardless). Keep in mind she also had a BROTHER and he didn't end up as an evil killer (the incident ruined his life and he now has depression). A LOT people had strict parents or guardians growing up, they didn't end up murderous killers. Some people are just sociopathic and deranged, can't put the blame on others. In some cases, such as the case with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, I don't feel bad for Gypsy's mother at all since her mother was certainly evil (had her daughter's teeth removed and abused her basically). But Jennifer Pan's parents were not on that same level and not evil. Strict parenting does not mean evil parents. "Tiger parenting" is indeed a cultural problem among Asian parents (which could include Indian parents) but there is a reason why Asians tend to succeed and surpass others academically (Asians are now being rejected from Harvard University since they've meet their "quota" of Asians and affirmative action, so being a smart Asian is not good enough anymore) though it sometimes comes at a cost (mental health especially) and smart Asians is typically a part of the "model minority" stereotype as not all Asians are smart. Thankful, the tiger parenting culture is dying out as it mostly only applies to 1st generation Asians as the 2nd and 3rd generations are more culturally Western/American than they Asian.
It's worth noting that when confronted by the hitmen inside his home, the father begged them to spare his daughter, not knowing that she was the one who had hired them
Wow, amazing about the PSA being uncovered! The memories of it seem so menacing. I had also heard of the Discord Killer on Coffee House crime. It's such a tragedy.
Thanks Lazy, knowing that there is such a sad story about Mariko behind what everyone thought was a harmless creepy pasta is tragic. I hope she is happy and living well. Also I hope she gets that money!
There is SO MANY cases of people killing their parents over lying about college 🤦♂️ recently, a female did it, there was Porco with the axe, there was that one kid that drove his jeep to his parents cabin on the 4th of July, there was another guy who hired a friend to shoot his parents then shoot him in the shoulder to make it look like he wasn’t involved. It’s just a MAJOR reoccurring thing in true crime and it’s super sad
If I'm not mistaken, earlier this year the guy that had his friend shoot his family and make it look like a burglary had his sentence changed from the death penalty to life in prison, unfortunately
I remember that case with the guy who had his family killed and he was just injured. Didn't in court his dad like say he forgave him or something crazy like that? He was young and I can't remember if college was mentioned. There could have been more than one case like this, Edit: specifically a person trying to make it look legit by getting hurt themselves during the hit I meant lol
@@crakhaed I believe so, yes. The saddest part of all the cases where people kill their parents over college (which seems to be MANY) the parents are always portrayed as if they would be extremely forgiving and understanding if the killer had just admitted their faults. Not trying to victim blame, but maybe that's part of the problem though, not being held accountable for your actions....
i truly hope that mariko is doing well right now, that poor woman didn't deserve any part of what happened to her. she's beautiful and deserves the love she receives
I’m so glad my son is sleeping when you showed Jeff/MoMo. He saw that image on UA-cam kids when he was 3. It had popped up in a kid’s video. He ended up having nightmares and night terrors for years. He’s 9 now and still terrified. Even his older brothers protect him from seeing it.
@@letshavecoffee mate i still get unsettled when i see it, a kid will very easily get traumatized. you don't understand that for a kid it's THE scariest thing they've ever seen
Poor Mariko. What a cruel pos boyfriend, I can’t imagine doing something like that to anyone, much less the person I’m supposed to love and care for. I hope karma came for him and that Mariko is happy and loved.
Considering how large Lazy's audience has become I wonder if it ever bothers him knowing statistically there's very likely at least 1 active serial killer who's seen his vids, possibly even one of the unknown suspects he reports on, pretty wild to think about
It's scary that the first story wasn't even the one and only incident that involved a "prodigy student" lying to his family about his academics and it ended with him murdering his entire family.
Re creepy commercials: I had a friend who grew up in a tiny town in AL. She told me about a commercial that terrified her as a child. It featured an old woman who dies, then gets up from her death bed and walks down the street to the funeral home and crawls into a nice coffin. The commercial ends with her smiling and a voiceover praising the virtues of said funeral home. I thought it was hysterically funny but my friend said she had nightmares for years lol Wish I could find that commercial.
Those wanted PSAs seem like the Japanese equivalent of the milk carton kids. In that they were only in circulation for a relatively short period of time, but have had a long afterlife in the popular imagination because they made an impression on people at a young age.
Why has nobody pointed out that Mariko’s boyfriend was called Suza, which is very similar to Seusser, the author of the story?! I feel like that’s an important thing to mention!
I remember where there was another round-faced girl who people claimed to be JTK. It was later debunked, but I remember thinking then and there that sometimes people who have been the victims of online harassment just should be left alone and forgotten by the internet. In many Asian countries fat-shaming is even more extreme than the West. It starts at a much lower weight and I don't think the nasty bullying she got from brave, anonymous edgelords was all of it. I truly, deeply hope that Mariko is okay and is living her best life out there.
Mariko didn’t deserve that 😔 I hope all those people got what was coming to them for all that bullying. Hopefully she has better people in her life now
If feel like the most ethical way to go about the Mariko lead is for someone in the search community to be selected to try and contact her to ask/confirm a few things, namely: 1. To confirm if it actually is her 2. Ask her if she is alright with the community continuing the search(because again, this whole search could possibly make her relive some terrible trauma and honestly I think we can all agree that the original image is not worth forcing someone to relive bad memories if that’s what it takes to obtain it). And, finally 3. If she is okay with the search continuing, does she have any information about the original image or even has a copy of it/knows someone that does. I emphasize the importance of the community selecting someone to be the one to try and successfully contact her because of the fact that the potential origins of image might come with some trauma she went through and how if we are to contact her it shouldn’t be hundreds or even thousands of people spamming her asking her about something that very well could trigger her trauma so it would be best if one person is selected to be the representative of the community to go and make contact with her. In if the off chance that the person selected goes radio silent(which does happen sometimes during searches) there should be a pre determined time limit on how long between the selected announces they’re sending the message to Mariko and them going radio silent so that way we have someone else lined up to try again(again, I wanna emphasize that the community SHOULD NOT spam her asking about the image, it could very well overwhelm her and if we have any chance of getting any kind of answers or closure to the mystery then we gotta make sure we go about this as respectfully as possible, she deserves that after what she went through and it’s the least we can do) until we get a confirmed response from her and whether were told to stop searching or given the okay +any additional information.
Thanks for these videos, Lazy. I love to listen to these while walking about. Though at times, it tends to make it creepier but thats a plus for me! Take care and thanks for malking my work walks much better!!!
Honestly, Lazy calling York a “prestigious university” is absolutely hilarious to me considering that in Toronto, the saying is “if you can hold a fork, you can go to York”
Something interesting about "The Wanted Suspects" is that it's essentially a television version of Japan's unique style of wanted posters, which can be found all over the country in a wide variety of areas, ranging from local police stations (or 'Kobans', as they are known), to motorway service stations, hotels, and even convenience stores. It seems that showing them on television has mostly gone away, making it an interesting case where an electronic media format (the ads) was abandoned in favour of a lower-tech version!
I seriously hate that Jeff the Killer photo. I swear, if i get jumpscared by that image, I'm gonna punch straight through my monitor like that one guy did.
I guess the Katie Robinson story came full circle, if the image's origin is Mariko. at the end of the day its still a story about a girl being bullied by strangers online. :( I hope Mariko is doing OK, wherever she is.
I can't believe how horrible Mariko was treated, by someone who claimed to love her. He was a psycho who just wanted to humiliate poor Mariko in the most public way possible, and wanted to use her humiliation as a way to make money. When he came forward and said that it was a "self portrait" while wearing a latex mask, he would've known that people were going to start digging into the picture. And he knew that once the truth behind the picture came out, he'd be a VERY unpopular person ( to put it mildly). And I've read in one of the comments that she doesn't deserve sympathy or even the money, because "everyone is acting like he's some kind of psychopath or something"! How does anyone know how badly this asshole treated her behind closed doors, of he was prepared to do this on-line? And we certainly don't know how badly this affected Mariko - whether she's ok now, or in therapy, on medication or if she's even "still around". ( I think you get my meaning of that). I was horrifically bullied when I was in school, to the point that I ended up in a psych hospital from a mental breakdown and an attempt to finish myself. This happened when I was about 15. I am still on medication for depression and a few other things as a result of the bullying. And I'm now 51, so it can affect you for the rest of your life. Sorry for the rant. I just really hope that Mariko is doing well, living her best life. And, as for her ex, I hope his life is as miserable and unfulfilled and lonely as he made her feel - multiplied by a shit-load!!
i think you have something confused. the guy who talked about the image being a latex mask is an american guy called "sesseur" who uploaded the video about jeff the killer that a lot of people credit as the first instance of the character being mentioned. but he is a different person to suzakamaru or "suza" who is mariko's boyfriend. sesseur just lied about taking the picture himself because its obvious he took it from some website for his video but he's not associated with mariko.
I'm in hospital with an infection in my vertebrae hoping for something good and you delivered, even after watching you for years it's like Christmas every upload ❤
I shattered 2 vertebrae once and spent the next year strapped into a metal body brace and that was one depressing year I can tell you, but how do you get an infection in your vertebrae?
I got so scared when you brought up Perfect World. I spent a huge portion of my childhood playing that game, so knowing that something so horrible could happen related to that game..
Failing at school and trying to keep the lie is one of the worst things you can do and I say it from experience. I'm no school prodigy and have failed many times, but eventually I managed to finish it; better late than never and certainly better be honest about it, forget about how upset your parents will be, the lie will eat on you and at best it'll make you feel absolutely awful, at worse, well... We get tragedies like Menhaz.
I sometimes watch your videos in the background because your narration is so awesome. I had to look up from my phone when I heard you say "Mall" because it sounded like you were saying "Morgue," lol Love your videos! Made my day 😊
I've heard the first story from a different UA-camr but they weren't as informative as the one you have done Lazy You really do as much research as you can when it comes to covering these unfortunate cases
it really baffled me that the police were only called right before the father was killed in the first story. they knew he was in toronto/around the toronto area. they should have called toronto police and provided them with the loose IP and pictures he sent, with their resources they would have traced it hopefully before the sister and dad were killed. i understand how horrifying it must have been for those people though, i just really think that some internet crimestoppers get too caught up in trying to fix it themselves than to alert the authorities
People never being able to see some really memorable commercials or even TV-shows from their youth because it's been lost to time is incredibly sad to me. Lost media is really depressing to me even though much of it from my own youth in the 90s has been preserved and can often be found if you look hard enough, but some things are simply gone and forgotten or incredibly hard to find or get your hands on. Watching old commercials and stuff from your childhood is sad all on its own but them not even existing anymore is even sadder.
I’m taking a dump and it’s quite nice. Not too much but a pleasant release of pressure. Good size and easy extraction. I imagine clean up will be easy.
what I find so interesting about lost media is the small stories found between them. poor Mariko, I hope she's doing well and isn't with that scum bag anymore
I'm from Toronto and I can tell you that York is not prestigious at all lol. They take pretty much everyone, you could get in with a B average.. its a backup university at best
Wow this is the earliest I’ve been to one of your videos! Can’t wait for yet more reasons to fear the Internet 😅😅😅 Thanks for the new video Lazy and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
The feeling of seeing an image of a person who was once alive and now is dead is just eerie...it makes my stomach sick to the point i realize that.... *Their gone* there not coming back.After watching this i want to cherish my life to the fullest making sure to be cautious of anything that seems suspicious because you don't know when someone will turn their back against you and suddenly plan for 3 years to kill you and your family....
The Aboriginal Australians have a taboo against images of people who have died. There's beliefs and cultural practices to do with it, I'm not entirely sure and could be slightly off here, but I wonder if aside from that it has something to do with that "eerie feeling" you mention.
You know, your PS2/GameCube graphics opening brings me weird nostalgic feelings! I love it! Reminds me of resident evil or silent Hill! Ugh, now I want to re play resident evil 1 remake, or resident evil 0. BTW. Speaking of MMO's. I'm still a sucker for ESO (elder scrolls online)
That Raw guy totally deserves the 11k$ , he found the identity , that should be good enough. The source image they want might not even be physically possible to find
That Perfect World guy has became a coward and selfish person. Coward to admit about his academic failure and coward for taking the lives of his family members just to feed his lies.
1. A video game addict's lies lead to a tragic end 2. Lost media of a peculiar wanted sign 3. Dark and sad origins of the infamous "Jeff the Killer" picture

How fucking anxious and stressed were they when they were trying to save the first story family, only to fail? That's something you never forget. That guy ruined so many lives just because he was too cowardly to tell his parents he had failed.
They wwre idiots they should have just told the police in the first place and they would have found him much easier.
They failed as soon as they first logged on to play that MMO
@@tylerhansen931😂
@@grrrrbabyverygrrr8165 For one, the guy had a history of edgy jokes in a similar vein. Definitely concerning, but you'd call their parents before you'd call the police. For two, they had basically zero information on the guy. You're calling the police to what? Report a guy you only know through discord? Cool. Police are going to ask for details, which you don't have without some sleuthing. Police don't have a magical database that can find anyone. How stupid are you?
And for third, nobody knew until the moment he did it, and even then, there are people who claim to have done messed up crap on the internet all the time. It's not that we should doubt every psycho with an internet connection, but let's not go out of our way to call the cops every time someone posts something concerning.
@@grrrrbabyverygrrr8165 Exactly! But it's this stupid gamers mindset. They wanted to be heroes and deal with it on their own.
The way people were treating Mariko is genuinely disgusting. I hope she's doing well nowadays.
I heard somewhere that she ended her life. Maybe not though
@@AwesomePossums111I genuinely hope that’s not true 😞
It’s not true, it was a hoax
Lots of people stood up for her, though. I thought that was nice.
@@MaliciousChickenAgendait’s not. Pretty sure that was debunked by scare theatre, mutah etc. it was just edge Lords being as cringeworthy as possible
i actually did the same thing, lying to my therapist and mom about going to uni, skipping mostly. though at one point I just couldn't take the lie anymore and confessed. were they angry? yeah, but i felt so much better afterwards, and it helped me get a stronger medication dosage for adhd.
my advice is to take your time, there shouldnt be pressure to go straight into uni. and if you do go and end up messing up, please tell your parents. they'll be upset, but will help you prevent this from happening in the future.
Better yet, don't go at all. Learn a useful skill instead. There are very few jobs you actually need a college degree for. Social skills and willingness to learn and work hard are much more valuable to any employer.
I hope you’re doing well, College isn’t for everyone and thats a fact. It disgusts me that someone was willing to kill their whole family because they couldnt grow a pair.
This happened to me too. I completely lied about still participating in uni even though during the pandemic, it was the worst of my life. Lying about it suffocated me the most to a point i went absolutely silent, cutting my self off from the outside world for 3 years. Not until end of 2022 things came clean, and yeah, it was awful but it felt so much better to have it out there and admit you're so tired of it all. Never had help unfortunately because its not available here, poverty and all but there's always answers when you stay strong enough. (
You lied to your therapist of all people? Not even family or friends? Weird... It's cool that it got you a stronger dose of pharmaceutical amphetamines though, everyone loves adderall.
Same. I was going to community college and ended up just skipping most of my classes for like 2 semesters. Was super depressed and lost 10 pounds. Can't even remember how my parents found out, but they did and I just broke down crying. Totally weight off of me. Went to therapy and got medicated after that. I did end up getting my degree though.
I remember believing the myth years ago that Jeff the killer was based on a girl who was bullied into suicide and when I saw Mariko’s picture I was terrified it was going to lead to that. I really hope Mariko is ok where ever she is
The bullied girl myth was just that, a myth
Same, I thought I was the only one having Deja vu
ironic that the myth ended up bearing similarities to the likely actual story...hopefully just up to the girl being bullied for her weight part though, and not any further
It always blows my mind how people like Menhaz think. One lie destroyed 4 lives and put him in prison for possibly the rest of his.
That’s the thing, they don’t think 💀 they have only themselves in mind and you’re right! It’s insane to think about these types of people
The worst thing is that he is able to think, he understands what he is doing and knows it is evil and disgusting, yet he wants to go through with it. But why would you do that??? It makes no sense.
Right? Just run away. But we see this in extremely controlling families who focus so much attention and effort on one kid. They aren’t given the skills to succeed but are told that they will shame everyone and destroy their lives if they don’t. Parenting skills should be required at every kind of school, and not ones designed by control freaks.
I don’t understand how we as a society and our justice systems could even allow someone like him to ever be released. The fact that it’s even a possibility is absolutely mind blowing. If you’re capable of doing what he did, how could you ever be fit to live with others? How should you ever have the right to live with others?
Biggest coward I have heard of. I'm guessing though that his parents had put intense pressure on their perfect son and had crazy expectations and he finally just had enough. But to murder his innocent sister too, so vile, such a coward.
Poor Mariko ☹️ I hope she's happier and with people who care about her now.
I do, too! Far too many children (or people who act like them) are on the Internet.
I think she end up Seuss-iding, iirc.
@@caseyriggs6264she didn’t, that’s been disproven multiple times. It was just a lie spread around by the cringe edge Lords who bullied her

Imagine how horrible it would be to hear a commercial that there are SEVEN THOUSAND wanted suspects at large. They definitely could have worded that PSA better, no wonder it traumatized so many people.
Just imagine if it were in the USA. That number would be exponentially higher
@@tiantheeif people made a huge deal for the Milk carron kids, something like this would have made them go apeshit!
At any given time, there are typically 12,000+ wanted persons in the United States.
There are approximately 540 wanted criminals in Japan as of the end of September 2023. So I think it's a little suspicious that there were 7,100 wanted criminals across Japan in 1975. The number of wanted criminals at 7,100 is more than 10 times the current number. The article in the magazine ``omoshiro-hanvun'' was transcribed from the commercial that the editor saw, so I think there was probably some kind of typo or mishearing.
@hatsumino-vf4xe my assumption would be that the number was higher then because science!
Lol
But honestly, now days with CCTV, internet and forensics being so far beyond the imagination in 1975... it's a lot harder to be a fugitive now.
I mean, even since September 11, international travel laws are very different.
Skin here! Thank you so much for the credit in your awesome video. I nearly dropped when I got to the end of the video and saw you cover the breakthrough in the JTK case. It was a very nice surprise to watch with friends.
Much of this information wouldn't be in the document if it wasn't for Milk, Prime and Lifted helping me since either my first day, or theirs. They're such wonderful people, and clever investigators. I can't wait to get back to the search, and hopefully uncover more of this story, so we can put it to rest. Thank you again for the credit and amazing video, as always. 💕
Thanks for your work. X

bro why is that your name tho on a real note?
I remember Peacock put out a documentary about the first story. It may or may not still be on there, but it’s called Perfect World: A Deadly Game. Such a truly sad and disturbing case. The documentary shows just how difficult of a position his fellow discord members were put in. A lot of the 911 operators they initially reached didn’t take them seriously because they didn’t have any real information on the guy.
This answers the question I had, about why they seemed to spend hours doing research before calling the police.
@@wheedler Same.
Here in Italy we have a big problem of people lie about their university, telling their parents about a graduation date when there is none, and then taking their own life. This year we had at least 10 people doing this (number might be higher, I am just recalling the one I remember from the news).
It's always sad to hear about it on the news 😢
What the discord killer did was way worse thought. I feel bad specially for the sister: with her rebel personality, if she had known, she could have helped him.
I feel like it shows there’s a much bigger issue there other than kids just lying or being cowardly. I feel like those people are out under immense pressure by their parents or communities, which is why they do what they do. Menhaz just went the other way. His actions are horrible, absolutely, and I also think his sister would have been on his side, but I do feel like he felt trapped too, to the point where he couldn’t see a different outcome. And he didn’t kill himself i stead because he said he didn’t want his parents to live with the shame of having such a failure as a son. That is also something that’s been instilled in him by his parents and or community. It’s such a complex situation imo.
I'm not going to lie this was me when I was 19. I'm lucky my mom somehow found out I was skipping classes and then my family really supported me through that dark time. I'm just going to say I get why some students do this. If you already have severe depression and anxiety it can be easier to imagine yourself dead than facing your parents disappointment. What Menhaz did was inexcusable, but to me I get why other people would lie about it, it's not logical but it's just a product of anxiety.
im barely finishing highschool, and i can totally see myself doing this atp. my dad was the first one in our family to actually graduate university, making him the wealthiest in the family. you can imagine that he'd want all of his kids to do the same thing. I'd rather fucking kms than fail him.
@@whizkeysh0tLet’s say you do go to college and it doesn’t work out, just know you can always leave and come back. I felt like a failure by dropping out of college cuz it was too hard of a degree, but I’m faced with the fact that I can always go back for something else. Honestly, I might even go back. Idk yet, but I’m only 19. I just don’t feel like it’s the right time to go for me. And who am I disappointing by not going YET?
@@neo0499 Society pushes youth too much to go asap, but nothing is wrong with building up wealth and taking a break first. Going from daily homework for a decade plus to x2 daily homework is just sad imo. I think I could handle daily homework, but I’m just not sure when I’ll actually be ready for it again. Now that I’m out, I’m a little off-put by having no free time because of homework. It certainly sucks how life works, lol.
Even if Mariko wasn't the source image, what Suza put her through was vile. I hope she's found some peace after being treated so terribly.
Suza?
@@amodernalchemist432suzakumaru. Lazy refers to him as Suza. He maintained the diet diary online and is the reason people treated her horribly online.
it's unfortunate that these large creators are basically doing the same thing suza did but with a much greater reach. sharing her name and all of these photos without her consent, opening her up to renewed scrutiny and harassment. sure, there are plenty of people who feel bad for her and wouldn't bully her, but she'll now be almost exclusively defined as "the jeff the killer girl", regardless of how her life has changed in the years since. if she wanted to be known for this, she would have come forward and presented the evidence herself. digging through the intimate details of her life and abuse just to find the source image of a meme feels cruel and voyeuristic, but that's what gets the views
Wonder how he'd feel if he was turned into something? Shouldn't link it to a Creepy Pasta OR if it is? It should be something that would be incredibly triggering for him. I dunno make him a gay, love doll or something haha.
@@raffishrabbit Completely unhinged take, bud. For one, you're assuming Mariko even cares enough about that part of her life to attach any meaning to Lazy's video, let alone knows the channel exists. For two, you're assuming the people who view Lazy are as unhinged as you are and will go out of their way to harass the woman. For three, do you really think she knew about JTK let alone invested an ounce of her life into it? Highly unlikely. Rather than projecting your craziness onto others, seek help.
I hope mariko is doing okay wherever she is. it must have been so traumatic being blasted on the internet by your own boyfriend for hundreds of people to criticize and bully you. I hope he gets his karma. and to mariko, you probably won't see this, but I'm sorry you suffered like this. you didn't deserve it. you aren't to blame.

Hes a fucking coward, i have no sympathy. He could hate told them or cut contact, instead he choose to kill his own family
right man. he could've just packed his things and ran away to live with somebody he knew or something until he gets back on his feet by getting a job
@@cdes1776 the planning in advance is the worst part about his desire to kill them. he had 3 years to get his shit together (which at his age was extremely doable) but instead he does this shit. absolutely pathetic human being.
So many cases where kids lie to their family about going to college and being successful. I wish there was not such a push for kids to have their crap together and go to college immediately after high school. I was a straight A student in high school, went to a good college, and I still regret to this day not exploring trade school or an apprenticeship. Parents need to stop putting so much pressure on their kids to succeed in higher ed because it almost always ends up with burnout. You have to find passion and drive within yourself, not by being pushed to be an engineer or a doctor or lawyer.
"You have to find passion and drive within yourself"
Great point
I couldn’t agree more with you. At 18, 19, 20 you’re still so young. There’s way too much pressure. Even now with my son going to high school I’m trying to get the other parents who are pushing their kids to go to really hard and demanding schools to take a step back. Pushing your kids that hard only backfires.
Should I have tried harder, been pushed a bit more? Sure. I regret not taking school seriously at all. But there’s a happy medium.
2 of the parents my son is friends with have to do like 3 hours of work after school. Why? There’s barely any homework. Kids are tired. They’re giving extra work and it’s not fair.

I hope Mariko is okay. The fact that this distorted image of her in what was probably a very dark and sad time in her life is still floating around, and so prominently, must be hard- I kinda hope that she somehow, some way, hasn't seen the picture or doesn't know it's her. Considering how closely the facial details match up, I'm personally convinced and I consider it solved. And if people keep searching, and if somehow Mariko is found, let's please all agree to be respectful to her, yea?
She is 1% Kurdish🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 and her bf is 1% turk🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷♥️♥️♥️💪💪💪🤜🤜🤜☀️☀️☀️☀️

So the first dude's literally like "My options are get yelled at by my parents and leave home or spend the rest of my life in jail... Yeah second one makes way more sense, lets do that."
nah fr, bros option was temporarily be scolded and move on with his life to make his parents proud in the future, OR like you said life in prison. i can see why he failed school.
If anyone deserves the $11k it's Mariko herself.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Why? She's not doing anything that contributes to the finding of the image.
For real, people on this comment section are blowing out of proportion what she went through and make it seem as if she wa the victim of a psychopath or something similar.
@@agentepolaris4914 what she went through was terrible. Somebody she trusted put pictures and videos of her on the Internet just so other people could torment her.

@agentpolaris4914 YOU are the reason that she deserves the money. You, and others just like you. How about showing everyone what you really look like, make sure it's a picture you hate, then have fuck knows how many people tell you how you should go and "end yourself". And make sure it's someone who you believe loves you that is posting more and more horrible, disgusting, manipulated pictures of you, saying how ugly and disgusting you are. See how it makes you feel. Then, and only then can you have any type of opinion of whether or not she needs to be COMPENSATED for what she was put through.

I cannot image murdering someone I absolutely hate, much less my own family. What causes a person to lose their sense of humanity like this?
I don’t know the english term for it as I learned about it from a Danish psychologist who specialises in crime. Essentially some people under extreme stress (lying about going to uni) temporarily lose the ability to clearly consider the consequences to their actions. This results in them coming up with extreme short-term solutions (sometimes suicide or murder).
Now I can’t say if that’s the case for anything mentioned here, so don’t take this as being the case with anything mentioned in the video.
no faith
@@toolbag-sy9ij No faith in what?
It really is disturbing to contemplate 😮 that you are freaked out by the thought of killing someone you hate shows you have empathy. It’s a healthy, natural human response to feel repulsed, stressed, overwhelmed by anxiety and terror by the thought of actually ending a person’s life. It really bothers me when people think this is a sign of weakness 😒 I do wonder if there’s possibly a situation where I would kill someone e.g if I caught a predator attempting to kill a member of my family then I’d have to step in and do something drastic. That action could result in said person ending up dead. It’s crazy to think about. Perhaps I may sound a little contrary but I’m trying to say that there are grey areas when it comes to killing another human being. That’s a really extreme scenario though and I genuinely hope it’s a set of circumstances I never get caught up in! Ok… that was a bit heavy, I think I’ll need to go watch some cute dog videos or watch something funny
In anything or anyone. @@kolamite
I really do hope where ever Mariko is, she's living her best life. And I hope her good for nothing bf is somewhere miserable by himself. I know Japan has some serious discrimination issues regarding weight, living in a country with such a strict standard is already hard to deal with on its own, but having your own partner mock and bully you when your trying to better yourself just takes the motivation right outta you.
Regardless of her weight, she shouldn't have gone through such a sadistic torment. If by chance she finds out about the whole JTK thing, and maybe even chimes in, I hope all who have been searching treats her with the damn respect she deserves. I couldn't imagine the horrible memories she'd live through if she ever saw those damn photos.
I hope so, but I hope what it has become makes her laugh too. I mean instead of the opposite. Maybe she could get some light out of what seems like a really dark period.
Boyfriend sounds abusive and cruel. No one that truly loves a person would do that to them. I hope she dumped him and is doing OK. I wish I knew.

Apparently its still a big problem, saw a recent video of asking girls on the street about thier relationships. One girl, who wasn't even fat said "oh yeah my boyfriend says I should loose weight cause he's embarrassed to stand beside me" 😅 and everyone in the comments was like wtf 😟
Edit, the video was: Asian Boss "what is the ideal weight for Japanese girls street interview"
@Ojo10 ahh I think Ive seen that one! Yeah Mariko's case is certainly not uncommon. Weightshaming is literally everywhere, but holy hell is it hella common in East Asia. Its appalling how much it happens there, that the women don't even question the toxicity of it. It just happens and they learn to take it. Really unfortunate.
The first story was very similar to a story about this Asian girl named Jennifer Pan from Canada. Her parents were "Tiger Parents" and had very high expectations. Her dad was very strict. She lied about going to college but instead skipped classes to be with her BF. She then planned a hit on her parents... Although I'm not excusing the disgusting and disturbing behaviors of these killers, the tiger parenting technique does need to end as it badly affects mental health.
I don’t condone Jennifer’s actions in any way, but I also can’t bring myself to feel bad for her parents. I think they sealed their own fates with how horribly they treated their daughter
@@LatinoLover they didn't treat her like absolute trash nor were they evil, they were just strict parents who wanted her to succeed (particularly her father, her mother apparently wasn't really strict like the father but she was killed regardless). Keep in mind she also had a BROTHER and he didn't end up as an evil killer (the incident ruined his life and he now has depression). A LOT people had strict parents or guardians growing up, they didn't end up murderous killers. Some people are just sociopathic and deranged, can't put the blame on others. In some cases, such as the case with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, I don't feel bad for Gypsy's mother at all since her mother was certainly evil (had her daughter's teeth removed and abused her basically). But Jennifer Pan's parents were not on that same level and not evil. Strict parenting does not mean evil parents. "Tiger parenting" is indeed a cultural problem among Asian parents (which could include Indian parents) but there is a reason why Asians tend to succeed and surpass others academically (Asians are now being rejected from Harvard University since they've meet their "quota" of Asians and affirmative action, so being a smart Asian is not good enough anymore) though it sometimes comes at a cost (mental health especially) and smart Asians is typically a part of the "model minority" stereotype as not all Asians are smart. Thankful, the tiger parenting culture is dying out as it mostly only applies to 1st generation Asians as the 2nd and 3rd generations are more culturally Western/American than they Asian.
@LatinoLover because wanting the best for your child means you deserve to die? Youre sick and i wouldnt trust you around children
It's worth noting that when confronted by the hitmen inside his home, the father begged them to spare his daughter, not knowing that she was the one who had hired them
Wow, amazing about the PSA being uncovered! The memories of it seem so menacing. I had also heard of the Discord Killer on Coffee House crime. It's such a tragedy.
Thanks Lazy, knowing that there is such a sad story about Mariko behind what everyone thought was a harmless creepy pasta is tragic. I hope she is happy and living well. Also I hope she gets that money!

Thanks, Lazy; I’ve been really needing a *your voice* specific video the past couple of days
There is SO MANY cases of people killing their parents over lying about college 🤦♂️ recently, a female did it, there was Porco with the axe, there was that one kid that drove his jeep to his parents cabin on the 4th of July, there was another guy who hired a friend to shoot his parents then shoot him in the shoulder to make it look like he wasn’t involved. It’s just a MAJOR reoccurring thing in true crime and it’s super sad
If I'm not mistaken, earlier this year the guy that had his friend shoot his family and make it look like a burglary had his sentence changed from the death penalty to life in prison, unfortunately
I remember that case with the guy who had his family killed and he was just injured. Didn't in court his dad like say he forgave him or something crazy like that? He was young and I can't remember if college was mentioned. There could have been more than one case like this,
Edit: specifically a person trying to make it look legit by getting hurt themselves during the hit I meant lol
@@crakhaed I believe so, yes. The saddest part of all the cases where people kill their parents over college (which seems to be MANY) the parents are always portrayed as if they would be extremely forgiving and understanding if the killer had just admitted their faults. Not trying to victim blame, but maybe that's part of the problem though, not being held accountable for your actions....
Not condoning it but unrealistic expectations and pressure of higher education of some families can take a fragile mind to a breaking point

Considering how large Lazy's audience has become I wonder if it ever bothers him knowing statistically there's very likely at least 1 active serial killer who's seen his vids, possibly even one of the unknown suspects he reports on, pretty wild to think about
Why would he even think about that? Why would you?
One day you get too close to solving a mystery, the next you find good old Bobby at your doorstep with a knife.

It's scary that the first story wasn't even the one and only incident that involved a "prodigy student" lying to his family about his academics and it ended with him murdering his entire family.
Re creepy commercials: I had a friend who grew up in a tiny town in AL. She told me about a commercial that terrified her as a child. It featured an old woman who dies, then gets up from her death bed and walks down the street to the funeral home and crawls into a nice coffin. The commercial ends with her smiling and a voiceover praising the virtues of said funeral home. I thought it was hysterically funny but my friend said she had nightmares for years lol
Wish I could find that commercial.
Those wanted PSAs seem like the Japanese equivalent of the milk carton kids. In that they were only in circulation for a relatively short period of time, but have had a long afterlife in the popular imagination because they made an impression on people at a young age.
Why has nobody pointed out that Mariko’s boyfriend was called Suza, which is very similar to Seusser, the author of the story?! I feel like that’s an important thing to mention!
I remember where there was another round-faced girl who people claimed to be JTK. It was later debunked, but I remember thinking then and there that sometimes people who have been the victims of online harassment just should be left alone and forgotten by the internet.
In many Asian countries fat-shaming is even more extreme than the West. It starts at a much lower weight and I don't think the nasty bullying she got from brave, anonymous edgelords was all of it. I truly, deeply hope that Mariko is okay and is living her best life out there.
Mariko didn’t deserve that 😔 I hope all those people got what was coming to them for all that bullying. Hopefully she has better people in her life now
And what exactly they deserve?
Is that you, Suza? @@agentepolaris4914
She is snottt gon't to giff jou head, nor brain---+++!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
@@wungomungo6177 you sound severely challenged
@@wungomungo6177 I'm good 😄👍
If feel like the most ethical way to go about the Mariko lead is for someone in the search community to be selected to try and contact her to ask/confirm a few things, namely:
1. To confirm if it actually is her
2. Ask her if she is alright with the community continuing the search(because again, this whole search could possibly make her relive some terrible trauma and honestly I think we can all agree that the original image is not worth forcing someone to relive bad memories if that’s what it takes to obtain it).
And, finally
3. If she is okay with the search continuing, does she have any information about the original image or even has a copy of it/knows someone that does.
I emphasize the importance of the community selecting someone to be the one to try and successfully contact her because of the fact that the potential origins of image might come with some trauma she went through and how if we are to contact her it shouldn’t be hundreds or even thousands of people spamming her asking her about something that very well could trigger her trauma so it would be best if one person is selected to be the representative of the community to go and make contact with her.
In if the off chance that the person selected goes radio silent(which does happen sometimes during searches) there should be a pre determined time limit on how long between the selected announces they’re sending the message to Mariko and them going radio silent so that way we have someone else lined up to try again(again, I wanna emphasize that the community SHOULD NOT spam her asking about the image, it could very well overwhelm her and if we have any chance of getting any kind of answers or closure to the mystery then we gotta make sure we go about this as respectfully as possible, she deserves that after what she went through and it’s the least we can do) until we get a confirmed response from her and whether were told to stop searching or given the okay +any additional information.
Or, better yet, leave her alone.
Leave her alone
First time I ever considered if there might be ethical issues with finding lost media
Thanks for these videos, Lazy. I love to listen to these while walking about. Though at times, it tends to make it creepier but thats a plus for me! Take care and thanks for malking my work walks much better!!!
Honestly, Lazy calling York a “prestigious university” is absolutely hilarious to me considering that in Toronto, the saying is “if you can hold a fork, you can go to York”
Something interesting about "The Wanted Suspects" is that it's essentially a television version of Japan's unique style of wanted posters, which can be found all over the country in a wide variety of areas, ranging from local police stations (or 'Kobans', as they are known), to motorway service stations, hotels, and even convenience stores. It seems that showing them on television has mostly gone away, making it an interesting case where an electronic media format (the ads) was abandoned in favour of a lower-tech version!
The way you told that first story....... absolute gold my friend. A+ work
8:00 this is not the first case where someone lied about uni then killing their family to hide the truth
Always a good day with a new lazy masquerade video!
I seriously hate that Jeff the Killer photo. I swear, if i get jumpscared by that image, I'm gonna punch straight through my monitor like that one guy did.
The fact i know which guy your talking about makes it even better 😂
Listening to Lazy , during my teacher’s planning period, is a serious addiction😅
I guess the Katie Robinson story came full circle, if the image's origin is Mariko. at the end of the day its still a story about a girl being bullied by strangers online. :( I hope Mariko is doing OK, wherever she is.
I sincerely hope Mariko got out of that relationship and found a man who treats her as well as she deserves to be treated.
I can't believe how horrible Mariko was treated, by someone who claimed to love her. He was a psycho who just wanted to humiliate poor Mariko in the most public way possible, and wanted to use her humiliation as a way to make money. When he came forward and said that it was a "self portrait" while wearing a latex mask, he would've known that people were going to start digging into the picture. And he knew that once the truth behind the picture came out, he'd be a VERY unpopular person ( to put it mildly). And I've read in one of the comments that she doesn't deserve sympathy or even the money, because "everyone is acting like he's some kind of psychopath or something"! How does anyone know how badly this asshole treated her behind closed doors, of he was prepared to do this on-line? And we certainly don't know how badly this affected Mariko - whether she's ok now, or in therapy, on medication or if she's even "still around". ( I think you get my meaning of that). I was horrifically bullied when I was in school, to the point that I ended up in a psych hospital from a mental breakdown and an attempt to finish myself. This happened when I was about 15. I am still on medication for depression and a few other things as a result of the bullying. And I'm now 51, so it can affect you for the rest of your life.
Sorry for the rant. I just really hope that Mariko is doing well, living her best life.
And, as for her ex, I hope his life is as miserable and unfulfilled and lonely as he made her feel - multiplied by a shit-load!!
i think you have something confused. the guy who talked about the image being a latex mask is an american guy called "sesseur" who uploaded the video about jeff the killer that a lot of people credit as the first instance of the character being mentioned. but he is a different person to suzakamaru or "suza" who is mariko's boyfriend. sesseur just lied about taking the picture himself because its obvious he took it from some website for his video but he's not associated with mariko.
Natural selection.
Let’s goooo! Nothing beats a new Lazy video on rainy, overcast day here in Fl.
I'm in hospital with an infection in my vertebrae hoping for something good and you delivered, even after watching you for years it's like Christmas every upload ❤
Sending healing energy your way.
Best wishes.
Get well soon!!!!!
All the best. I hope you get better soon. ❤
I shattered 2 vertebrae once and spent the next year strapped into a metal body brace and that was one depressing year I can tell you, but how do you get an infection in your vertebrae?
I got so scared when you brought up Perfect World. I spent a huge portion of my childhood playing that game, so knowing that something so horrible could happen related to that game..
If the photo is of Mariko, wouldn't it be fair if the money went to her? Anyway, I hope she's okay
Some people could narrate something as painstaking as paint peeling and I'd watch passionately. Lazy Masquerade is one of those people.
Failing at school and trying to keep the lie is one of the worst things you can do and I say it from experience. I'm no school prodigy and have failed many times, but eventually I managed to finish it; better late than never and certainly better be honest about it, forget about how upset your parents will be, the lie will eat on you and at best it'll make you feel absolutely awful, at worse, well... We get tragedies like Menhaz.
I sometimes watch your videos in the background because your narration is so awesome. I had to look up from my phone when I heard you say "Mall" because it sounded like you were saying "Morgue," lol Love your videos! Made my day 😊
I've heard the first story from a different UA-camr
but they weren't as informative as the one you have done Lazy
You really do as much research as you can when it comes to covering these unfortunate cases
Im so happy you uploaded a new video!!! Now I can listen before bed. Your voice is so calming; amazing narration ❤
"The Wanted Suspects" reminds me of creepypasta called "Candle Cove"
I hope Mariko is doing ok now with people around her who will treat her with respect and love.
it really baffled me that the police were only called right before the father was killed in the first story. they knew he was in toronto/around the toronto area. they should have called toronto police and provided them with the loose IP and pictures he sent, with their resources they would have traced it hopefully before the sister and dad were killed. i understand how horrifying it must have been for those people though, i just really think that some internet crimestoppers get too caught up in trying to fix it themselves than to alert the authorities
People never being able to see some really memorable commercials or even TV-shows from their youth because it's been lost to time is incredibly sad to me.
Lost media is really depressing to me even though much of it from my own youth in the 90s has been preserved and can often be found if you look hard enough, but some things are simply gone and forgotten or incredibly hard to find or get your hands on.
Watching old commercials and stuff from your childhood is sad all on its own but them not even existing anymore is even sadder.
Video starts at 1:45
I’m taking a dump and it’s quite nice. Not too much but a pleasant release of pressure. Good size and easy extraction. I imagine clean up will be easy.
Menhaz's story is similar to Jennifer Pan's case.
I love your intro. Resident Evil + Lazy Masquerade is perfect.
Yay something to watch while ignoring schoolwork!!!
what I find so interesting about lost media is the small stories found between them. poor Mariko, I hope she's doing well and isn't with that scum bag anymore
Ahh just what I needed a Lazy video on this fine thursday evening. Happy Thursday everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! ❤
I'm from Toronto and I can tell you that York is not prestigious at all lol. They take pretty much everyone, you could get in with a B average.. its a backup university at best
Wow this is the earliest I’ve been to one of your videos! Can’t wait for yet more reasons to fear the Internet 😅😅😅
Thanks for the new video Lazy and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
Jeff the killer and that fucking smile dog picture still haunt me
Soo I have recently (last 4 days) found your channel. I have watched nearly all your videos and absolutely loving them! ❤
The feeling of seeing an image of a person who was once alive and now is dead is just eerie...it makes my stomach sick to the point i realize that.... *Their gone* there not coming back.After watching this i want to cherish my life to the fullest making sure to be cautious of anything that seems suspicious because you don't know when someone will turn their back against you and suddenly plan for 3 years to kill you and your family....
The Aboriginal Australians have a taboo against images of people who have died. There's beliefs and cultural practices to do with it, I'm not entirely sure and could be slightly off here, but I wonder if aside from that it has something to do with that "eerie feeling" you mention.
Can i borrow 10 bucks for a pack of cigarettes?
Ye men sure
Really happy you covered the first story, remember seeing it years ago and have been surprised with the lack of it being mentioned
You know, your PS2/GameCube graphics opening brings me weird nostalgic feelings! I love it! Reminds me of resident evil or silent Hill! Ugh, now I want to re play resident evil 1 remake, or resident evil 0.
BTW. Speaking of MMO's. I'm still a sucker for ESO (elder scrolls online)
I was so afraid you were gonna say that Mariko committed suicide or something omg hope she’s okay now.
Was having a gloomy day but seeing you upload instantly made it better!!!!
you ALWAYS post subjects i have never heard of. so happy for your dedication to finding unique content.
Menhaz could have just ended his own life if he couldn't bear the disappointment of his own family. He really hated them for sure.
That Raw guy totally deserves the 11k$ , he found the identity , that should be good enough. The source image they want might not even be physically possible to find
It’s a good day when a new Lazy Masquerade video drops 🖤
Thank god. I’ve had a really shitty birthday and needed this. Thanks, Lazy.
Sorry about your birthday, dude
Happy birthday!
Hi, what happened?.
Greetings from Iceland, just your favorite Icelander strolling by. Great job as always
Man that first story was the first time I’d heard that. Classic lazy pulling those lesser known stories
One of the best mystery channels on all the internet and i don't just say that about anyone
SAME HERE!!!.
That Perfect World guy has became a coward and selfish person. Coward to admit about his academic failure and coward for taking the lives of his family members just to feed his lies.
1. A video game addict's lies lead to a tragic end
2. Lost media of a peculiar wanted sign
3. Dark and sad origins of the infamous "Jeff the Killer" picture
I hope my new relationship is as strong and consistent as Lazy and Raycon
York University isn’t prestigious lmao
So dude killed FOUR people and still has a chance for parole at all? That’s appalling.
People were just horrible to Mariko, I hope she is doing better now 💚
