    What really sucks about this situation is that often times people who need/use wheelchairs can actually stand and walk for short periods of time, it’s just that it’s extremely painful. It just fuels more disbelief and ableism towards other people in wheelchairs who actually need it

  • @therealCrazyJake
    @therealCrazyJake Před 2 lety +1772

    If he hadn’t immediately tried covering it up and lying about falling, things might have worked out better for him, tbh. Like, he should have come clean about his recovery from the start of the drama, and apologized for misleading his audience about the nature of his temporary disability. If he had said “I’ve actually been recovering for a while and am less dependent on my wheelchair than I was. I should have mentioned it to you guys before, and I’m sorry to have misled you” (or something along those lines), I’m sure he would have gotten SO MUCH more respect from everyone watching. I believe he’s telling the truth about it in the interview he did with Wavy, but lying about it when it happened was a terrible move on his part, and I hope he’s learned from the backlash.

    I'm not defending this guy specifically, but I will say that there are plenty of people who can walk but require wheel chairs as mobility aids rather than their only way if getting around. So just the fact someone is a wheel chair user but is able to get up and walk away doesn't directly mean they don't need the wheel chair. Again though, I'm not defending this guy specifically, I'm just saying that this is a thing that happens and exists

    I think it's important to point out not everyone with a wheelchair is completely unable to walk. Some can walk but only short distances or walking is painful. That being said, if this was the case, he probably wouldn't have lied about it saying he "fell." That was very obviously not a fall.

      Yes, there are chronic and invisible illnesses that mean some people with said illness can walk but get tired and/or sore easier. Can also be days where said person can stand and walk around just fine, though it depends on the person, illness, conditions or severity..
      He didn't fall you could see in his body language the way he faces to stand up, and that the chair doesn't move that much. You'd then hear a "thump" if he fell 😔
      Wish people weren't like this
      -Edit, because I realised there's no audio (that's why there's no thump, lmao I had a dumb moment)
      However upon closer inspection, if you look at 3:09 in the fishtank you can see he walks off and doesn't fall over once, very steadily walked out of frame.

    I hate stuff like this, it perpetuates the idea that only people who have no function over their lower body ever need to use wheelchairs, and everyone else is faking. I often use a wheelchair, but I have full function over my legs, it's because I pass out when I stand up for too long. So many people think I fake because I can stand up, as long as I know I'm going to be walking a short distance and sit down again soon. It's so embarrassing to be harassed in public over it.

      Totally. I sometimes use a walker even though I wan walk fine--it's for a vision issue where my eyes sometimes read right as being straight ahead. I've walked into the street before because of that so the walker is there so I can literally slam on the breaks.

      He probably didn't plan for a scenario like that to play out, where he accidentally stood up on stream, odds are he assumed he would never make such a stupid mistake. And most likely 98% of the time he was hyper aware that he must stay glued to his chair. But after streaming every day with all the repetition, he finally slipped up and without even thinking about it stood up and walked away.
      Then at that moment he was panicking and couldn't think up a good lie on the spot, he had to think of something right then and there while his chat was freaking out and he couldn't come up with something fast enough. The "oh yeah I'm not completely paralyzed, it just really hurts, but I can stand if I really need to!", which goes against everything his chat believed because they thought he was paralyzed from the waist down, not just in a lot of pain and capable of walking.
      Hindsight is 20/20.

    There's a piece of this story that all the comments are missing, or only addressing half of the controversy. While it is true that there are disabled people who do not need a wheelchair at all times, and may need it for assistance for certain tasks or to make mobility easier, the issue is that he blatantly hid his recovery process for monetary gain. Money was pouring in through donations and subscriptions, and it was the crux of the growth of his channel. His girlfriend was in on the scheme as well. Why lie about falling? Why did the girlfriend make up a blatantly fabricated story to distract from the "miraculous" walking? The issue is not that he forgot to update his viewers. It's the intent behind it. Lying by omission is still lying. And using this facade for monetary gain is immoral.

    Most people assume if you’re in a chair you can’t walk, and are often surprised when I step out of it for a moment to get over a large step.

    I'm gonna offer some insight here, as a disabled individual, by first stating that I'm not really upset at what he did. As someone who has a physical disability that does sometimes let me walk without my assistance tools or do things differently on some days than others, I can understand the need to just tell people that you... just use a wheelchair. Not "I sometimes do", etc. It sounds crazy, but there is like this... stigma that people don't talk about when it comes to physical disabilities. People see someone in a wheelchair and don't think "Oh I wonder if they use it all the time". People see that person in a wheelchair and it's just accepted that that's how it should be. I felt so embarrassed with it at first, I would never tell people that I didn't need it all the time, otherwise I was scared people would just assume I was faking it or over-exaggerating my symptoms to garner sympathy, because sadly that IS reality and that DOES happen. My brother to this day believes I just exaggerate my symptoms because I appear "normal" and that I can sometimes get around fine.
    I'm not saying what he did was right, because he was advocating for disabled individuals in the streaming scene while not being honest and having an open dialogue with his community. But I am saying I can understand why he wouldn't.

    My uncle was in car crash and was in wheelchair for 2 and half years. Even then he got healed, he still moved in wheelchair, because he get used to it and it was Hard to start walking again.

    the thing with wheelchair usage is that he may have been partially dependent for awhile, being able to walk short distances but still needing it for longer distances, but he should have just explained the situation. Lots of disabled ppl who depend on wheelchairs part time/during certain flair ups do get harrassed for seeming "fake" and I feel like this is a weird situation that could have been solved by him explaining from the beginning that his fulltime wheelchair usage wasn't permanent/he was working on recovering. Overall a shitty situation, wish he wouldn't have lied.

    Why do streamers think they can pull this shit and get away with it? You have a higher chance of getting caught online, then on the street.

    I mean some people can still walk in a wheelchair but it can be incredibly painful. My legs are in agony every step I take after leg day and makes me want to just stay in bed till they recover, I can only imagine actual injury.

    I love how the first Line of comments is just people spamming “first” 💀 certainly not first, but interesting video! I’ve never understood why people feel the need to fake disabilities. As someone with actual disabilities- they’re not quirky or fun. I would gladly give them to y’all so you could have your clicks haha!

    I work at Walmart. Tons of people always say they need Electric carts. I always tell them "I can keep an eye out, but I can't guarantee one immediately." Only the actual disabled people stay, understanding, but the very impatient or fakers will just leave, some having parked in the VERY back.
