    I mean do you know for a fact he isn’t depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.

        Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

            Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

            Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

              I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.

                Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… seeing the world through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.

      I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney™) was being an ‘edgy’ comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

        Lots of times when me and KG are watching

        All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall

        We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

        Yeah, we should fucking start a riot

        A riot!

        And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It’s obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on… like fucking Minecraft… Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG’s side, and if they haven’t fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I’m gonna wave goodbye to the D.

      I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?

        Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s not too long before committing suicide. There’s really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

        If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

        RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

          Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.

      TBF, in the free world it’s illegal to joke about the death of dictators, politicians, and extremely dangerous criminals unless you are a politician &/or conservative. Everybody knows that.

        People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump’s would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it’s reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.

          Ye, but then again the band split because of it. They’ll probably reform and make a dumb song about it in the future, but still.

          Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that’s a bit of a stretch, mate.

            That’s not their only tour stop or do you expect the two to apply for citizenship? Also, Trump in an international cult leader at this point. Someone could cobble together a zipgun anywhere and sneak it close.

          Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.

            Yes, that’s what happened. But we’re not talking about Gass, we’re talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.

            Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump’s life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.

            I can’t even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.

            I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.

    I don’t even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.
