    I still can’t tell if he’s just playing a character or if he’s a real person, like most things in life I think it’s a blend of both though

    I feel bad for him, I realize a lot of it is acting but you can tell behind the scenes some dark stuff has happened to him through glimpses of what he’s said when he wasn’t trying to be funny. He’s had self harm scars, he was16 with tattoos, comes on stream with tear marks sometimes. People with half his clout get drained from streaming only a few times per month, imagine how he feels daily with all the toxicity he gets. He’s a young kid I hope he is well emotionally now

    not gonna lie, he is incredibly good at not breaking character

    The only reason it's so hard to tell if he's acting or not is because hes literally never broken character. It would be so difficult to keep that act going for this long without breaking character once.

    Im pretty sure 90% of the freakouts because of donations are him playing along but it encourages others to say some disgusting things to him. He needs a break or a chill stream where he plays a game calmly.

    Filthy Frank is better than Ishowspeed

    Honestly, I’m nervous FOR him. I don’t know if it is a joke or acting anymore. In all his older streams and videos, he seems so happy. He just wants to have a normal and happy stream, but so many “fans” start annoying him intentionally. It’s kinda messed up how people are almost treating him like a circus seal. I am pretty glad he got fame for it, but the fact that people have been pushing him around, it really is hard to differentiate reality from acting.

    he is the defenition of a person buried in layers upon layers of irony so much so that he lost himself

    I feel bad for speed man. even if he putting on his personality for the camera you can still see that he’s someone who genuinely has a good heart, and it’s crazy to see him meet his heroes. But his community is so toxic, like that kid who tricked speed into thinking he had cancer after his auntie passed away. It’s just so sad man.

    Great Video. I was a bit confused why he's blowing up. I get it now.

  • @FHNeditsHD

    It’s sad to see people like ishowspeed getting famous for 1) Shouting at a video game and 2) Purposely pronouncing fifa players names incorrect. Something is wrong with what young people find entertaining

    it cool to see these kind of stories, I see these faces EVERY DAY, they flood my recommended, I skip a reel or a short and one of these plays right after, but I never know how they got so famous, I give props to the commitment and hustle

    I'm actually scared that he's being forced by his fans into basically taking the same path as Etika, blurring the line between reality and show; forgetting who you really are and even worse things

  • @KungeNelson

    I personally think he's playing a characther where sometimes we a get a glimpse of the real him but whatever the case he's a genius, he has gotten the internet thinking he's stupid and borderline unhinged but hilarious. Cant fault the guy for gaming a system that works and gives him his popularity, now 4 months later, 9 million subs. Its insane

    I’ve been watching your channel for so long so happy yo see that u are doing super great for yourself, I stopped listening to the kind of hip hop you normally made vids on so having other amazing content from u is dope, I can tell u put lots of work in your videos, good shit

    I've watched him for a week but I can already tell single player games are his bread and butter. Whether it's talking to Ben, playing open world games, and or scary game's it will avoid controversy and let him grow as a streamer and person. Scary games are the best in my opinon, horror games are some of the most emotional provoking games and his chat can't make fun of him as much as there's so little variation in scary ones.

    im surprised no one has made a similar connection to him and etika he was also a streamer with a very ecstatic personality brought to literal suicide due to not getting proper help with his mental health and his community being just as toxic, People need to fucking stop with this shit
