I was watching a meme compilation video from another YouTuber and he shared the interesting piece of info that he grew up, got ripped, and makes music apparently.

Also, the video that got famous of him raging at a videogame was very much staged for clicks and he was making joke videos around the same time, but the German news thought that a video of a kid raging was real and aired it as like THE proof that they caused violence.

      My keyboard these days is much much stronger than the keyboard I had in the 90s. In the 80s the back was full metal and some had the case be metal as well. Then in the 90s it went all plastic and super fragile. For the past 15 years or so I’ve had a keyboard with a thick metal frame. I’ve smashed it lots of times and it doesn’t care at all. If you’d pick it up and smash the monitor with it, it would totally destroy the monitor. My desk is a metal frame with solid wood, but the average IKEA desk probably wouldn’t stand a chance.

    He was still a minor when the video was published (against his will, it was a private commission). He was bullied a lot for it, because people didn’t understand it was staged. He distanced himself from all of that for a while. Perhaps he started body building to compensate.

    Obsessive bodybuilding is often a sign of very severe minority complex.

    Not saying that’s the case here, but buffing up like that isn’t the sign of health that it purports to be.

      He was severely bullied and changed schools several times. People back then just didn‘t get he was playing a role in those videos. He was way ahead of his time.

        In an interview he even said at one point he threatened to shoot up the school. It was a move to get attention because he was so alone, like a cry for help. I think he served some time in prison or similar for teenagers.
