If someone wants to have fun and be happy, let them. Don't try and tear them down because they're happier than you are. How would you like it if someone did that to you?

    Hey dude, never commented before but I’ve been a fan ever since the first crapguide to monster hunter came out, and I feel inclined to say, do whatever feels best for you. I can’t speak for everyone but at least for myself, if you feel like the trade off of making content and getting toxic people all up on your case is not worth it, then I agree with you 100%. I’m just another faceless nobody on the internet, but I hope that you can one day feel comfortable enough with making content and sharing with at least your friends and family, and maybe some patrons too! But whatever you decide is the best option for your well being, I support you all the way! I’ll miss seeing new uploads from you, but I’m a fan of YOU, not just your content, so don’t feel bad about needing to stop, or feel like you need to apologize to your fan. Because if we actually are your fans, we want you to be healthy and happy, far more than we want content. IF you ever make a discord for fans/patreons, tho, hit me up! But if not, I wish you all the best in the world and hope that you will be able to find something that brings you the joy in your life that you deserve!

    Hey JoCat. I just saw your post on Twitter. About you wrapping up and then shuttering your online presence. I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry that this all has happened to you over a little 30 second clip that didn't hurt anyone. You have been an inspiration of mine ever since your video on Klonoa 2, and I have been a fan ever since. While I doubt anything I could say would sway your decision, I just hope beyond hope that you will be well and that you will be happy, no matter where life takes you and your partner.
    Farewell, JoCat. We will all miss you, very much.

    Hi, Jocat. I never really commented on UA-cam or Twitch (I live in germany so it's hard to catch you live) but always loved every second I was blessed with the gift of your content. You were always a safe haven for me. Whenever I was down, your content and wholesomeness cheered me up and whenever I was happy I was even happier when watching your content. Over the years it became a safe mental space and it felt almost like coming home whenerver I heard your voice.
    This is all not to plead with you to keep doing all this. It's the only right thing for you to do... well... whats right for you. You never owed us anything. You were always just a gift. And I just want to say (just like a lot of people are certainly doing right now and for the past days and days to come) that you did good. Great even. And no amount of idiots can take that away from you or us.
    Even if you never do something online again, I wish that you will look back at these Years and know that you did a good thing. Not a lot of people can say that about themselfs.
    I'm going to watch through all your stuff and cherish every second of it and I wish you all the best. I know how parasocial relationships work but... I can't help myself from feeling like saying goodbye to someone who I will miss wholeheartedly. I might be crying right now.
    PS: I hope my english wasn't so bad that its not understandable.

Also, since YT keeps shadow removing my comments I keep making. Praising the story telling, the NPC's/Art to match the faces. From the Role play and the emotional cutting and bleeding for the audience, to the Range of voice acting from Jocat. From the twists and turns in backstories, to the emotional drama of each character interaction was phenomenal. The story telling has been the best I have had heard in a while looking for other D&D campaigns. This was truly magical and enticing, a story to encapsulate the audience listening.

    I don't even know if this will be seen here, but lacking a voice on the hellsite that is X, I just wanted to say that I've been following your content, particularly your animations, for years now and they have brought me nothing but joy, laughter, and very helpful knowledge about things I either currently love or are working my way into. I found you through the crap guides, but stayed for everything, I particularly loved the epic of the partially animated nuzlocke. But watching you create and grow has been a treasure. I am so sorry to hear that other would treat you so terribly for something so stupid and meaningless, especially since your song was harmless and cute. I wish you all the best going forward, and if you never make your way back to the public space... I hope your games are fun, your stories heartfelt and joyful, and the rest of your life filled with kindness.
    Thanks for all the good times, JoCat.

    I've never left a comment before, nor am I a person of-..value, but I came here with a wish to send all the love, praise and thanks to you that I could, JoCat.
    I just heard the news, that you'll be wraping things up, due to things happening around you, and I wanted to just-..I don't know, words aren't good enough to express how amazing I think you are, the work you've done, as well as the joy you've spread to so many, me included.
    I understand you though, no one wants the drama and especially THAT sort of drama(''Threats of violance'', dafug is wrong with people! SERIOUSLY!?)! I wanted to really-really-really(!) wish you, JOcat, the best of all worlds, the warmest of love and the brightest of happiness every day of your life. You are an amazing creator, a briliant artist, and man with so many good inspiering qualities that makes you rare as a diamond.
    I would love to see you return one day, a day when you feel ready to return, to spread your love, happiness and creative wonders among us again.
    I don't know if you will ever read this, I'm just one amongst several others, maybe I'm to late or you feel unease, maybe even scared, reading comments you get in your inboxs these days, and I understand...But some part o me, deep down, hope this message will reaches you, one way or another. For you to know how much you are loved, that you are an inspiration in more ways then I can tell, and that we've been so blessed to have you in our world all this time.
    You will always hold dear place in both mine and countless other hearts spaning this earth.
    Love you JoCat, I wish you all the best of all worlds to always come to you, I wish I could hug you because my words still don't feel enough. Please take care!

    Dear JoCat
    I don't remember ever commenting before, but I've been a fan of your works for years now. You helped me through a very difficult time (to put it mildly), without even knowing it. Before I discovered OT, before I gained the supportive circle of friends I have now, back when I was still in the closet and surrounded by homophobia, transphobia and abuse, you showed me that true allies *do* exist. Your stance on trans rights and gender expression have been an inspiration to me. You made me feel valid and seen, at a time when I felt hopeless and alone. I'm writing all this now because I just found out about the awful hate campaign... Those people are pathetic. The only thing they bring to this world is hate and vitriol, whereas you saved a lonely russian transbian's life without even knowing it, by giving her courage and strength to hold on, to not give up, and to keep fighting until I was able to get access to HRT and a supportive community, despite my country's countinuing descent into fascism. You helped me survive. You, and people like you, are the reason I'm still alive, and fighting for my brothers, sisters and enby siblings who feel just as lost as I once felt. You helped change my life for the better. And judging from the other comments here, I feel like I'm not the only one who feels this way. Please take care of yourself, as much time as you need. Regardless of whether or not you come back to youtube, I will always cherish my memories of an insanely talented and impossibly kind catboy, who made me laugh at a time when I thought I lost the ability to smile

    JoCat, if you end up reading this at all, I just want you to know that you have been an immensely positive influence on my life. I had actually abandoned Monster Hunter, Dungeons and Dragons, and Final Fantasy 14 all before you did guides on them. I was browsing around and I caught Projared's review of MH:W and thought about getting into it, but decided against it. Your animation, though, inspired me to finally pick it up and I've been playing ever since. Through this game, D&D, and FF14, BG3, and more I developed a small community of supportive friends and loved ones that I wouldn't have if I hadn't found your videos. I want to deeply and sincerely thank you for the content you've provided with the community, for your animations and streams and video essays, your deep dives into character creators, and more. I was angered and saddened to read the goodbye you left on your site; not at you, but at those who did you this much harm to you for simply being yourself. I understand, though, that you need a break from all of this. I understand if that break lasts forever and you never come back. I wouldn't blame you in the slightest. I do hope, however, that you can come back one day. Not for me, not for anyone else here, but for you. I hope you can come back because making the content you do makes you happy, if it makes you happy. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family, and I love you, Jo. I don't know you personally, but if people can hate you for being who you are and making what you love, why can't I love you for the same? Never apologize for doing what you love, and certainly never apologize to abusers. You've done absolutely nothing wrong. Be well, be happy.

    I 'm not usually the sort who comments, but for you, I'll throw my hat in.
    I was bullied all through my school life, so I get how exhausting it is for some inferiority-complex idiots to decide they have an excuse to make your day worse. Those folks can take a collective leap into a red dragon's lair. Harrassment is a game played by cowards and pathetic, small individuals who can't make anything of themselves, so they take it out on the first focus of envy, vulnerability or otherwise for their own shallow, selfish little satisfactions.
    You've given us nothing but entertainment, happy content, good feelings and a healthy energy that any of us could aspire to. I've watched all your videos, including your stream vods, and I'm going back to each and every one to ensure I remembered to click that happy little thumbs-up button. I heartily encourage everyone else to do the same.
    Take care of yourself, JoCat, and I won't say goodbye, as I'm one amongst many here who'd hope and love to watch your content past, present and future.

I hope you do return to create more stuff one day, but understand that you need to do what's best for you. I have used your D&D crap-guide series to help 9 of my friends jump into D&D and figure out what classes they have. Me and 3 of them have bought just about every goblin plush you have designed and put up on Makeship. We joke about it constantly how we are all grown men that were/are in the military, and we're excited to see and get the new gobo plushies when they come out. Again, thank you for the joy you have brought to me, my friends, and the slew of fans that you have. I hope that you find happiness and fulfillment in whatever you pursue next.
