Why I Stopped Making Videos: My Experience Being Groomed & The Harassment That Followed
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 01. 2021
- My video upload schedule has rapidly burnt out and I’ve wanted to release an explanation before I continue uploading. I'm not a fan of "personal" videos and still have odd feelings toward making them but as someone whos against that very thing I thought it was important, I explain my mindsets toward this platform and the nature of having an audience. Scripting was minimal so please keep that in mind if my wording seems weak compared to usual, I just sort of spoke.
Also, keep in mind this doesn't mean I'm gonna have a crazy upload schedule, I just want to refocus on capturing why I liked doing this again.

Even if the world turns against me I will still tweet about lolis like I always have - _Shadow The hedgehog_
If this video seems repetitive it's because I didn't read directly from a script as so much as I kept bullet points on hand so sorry about that but I thought it was best. As I said can't say I'm a fan of doing this sort of thing, I still think there were ways I could have worded my feelings better or even took a different tone but this was from the heart to anybody curious why I stopped uploading for a bit as well as how I got to my current stance.
Well you've got a couple people who'll turn against the world with you.
Hey man, you got to do what you have to do. I'll be watching when you decide to upload. I know I don't check your twitch, but as long as you enjoy it. OK, got to finish watching the video. Also RIP judgmental parents.
Shadow is so wise
poggies
Many people deserves to be harassed... YOU, are NOT one of them.
In fact, you are a great person and we need more Demitris in the world
As a trans women I hate how much the "trans community" insists that every feminine guy is trans, you do you my dude keep being heckin cute
The vast majority, don't feel that way I'm sure but it's like I said in the video. It's not wrong, it's healthy in fact, to point out some people in every group have damaging mindsets.
@@DimitriMonroe Yeah definitely, I think its possible to criticize a group without hating them. which many people don't seem to realize.
@@DimitriMonroe I'm less worried about the trans community doing what they did to you (As you yourself admit a tiny, tiny minority of them are at fault, and I applaud you for having this nuance) and more worried about the trans community pushing their politics on all trans people. That's a much bigger group. I've been cast out from trans spaces, even banned and misgendered, because I do not support Communism.
@@clostridiumtetani9947 ok
Yes "the trans community" totally does this
Quit making shit up and making such vague statements that are complete bullshit and yust admit you dont like trans people very much
I was at comic con one year and I saw Dimitri Monroe and be for i could say anything he was behind me and stabbed me with his 7 foot katana, he then admitted to bein wanted in 7 states for armed robbery and mass circumcision
I admire your willingness to put yourself out there despite all this. Don't ever let them break you. You're a cool dude and the Internet is a better place with your perspective.
Whoa, didnt expect to see you here. Off topic but I just wanted to thank you for uploading some of my favorite game osts on youtube
Thank you friend, I'll keep doing my best 😊
You are single-handedly the most random person I'd expect to see here. But nice to see you support other people.
Sorry Dimitri, I don't care how many videos you make hinting about it, I'm never going to stop stalking you
I like you the way you are and anyone sticking around probably feels the same way. Stay strong!
True and nice to see you Shuck
The shuck is here?!?!😳😳
This is why I like you, Dimitri.
"I don't wanna talk about my personal life experiences, drama. I don't wanna hear yours or quite frankly anyone else's either. The only things I'm concerned about are the things I enjoy."
Jesus "It doesn't matter if you are guilty or not, you deserve it"
Maybe if they didn't do it, then maybe... JUST MAYBE... they didn't deserve it
That’s not how Christianity works, but ok.
I don't understand how people can even have that mentality
@@Francis-ht5td it's because they don't think about the words they're using.
Dude...they don't care...they just want someone to be in pain to point of self harm because they are creeps who get off on that shit.
Thats all they are and that's all they will ever be.
Zombies looking for their next meal.
@@nicoloenricorimoldi7425 he was exclaiming in Jesus' name, not fake quoting Jesus, Like how people say "Jesus Christ" when they're surprised. though the way he worded that I understand the confusion.
You were one of my inspirations to create, the nuance you bring to conversations while still finding an audience convinced me that I could do the same. Do what makes you happy, and thanks for what you do.
Hearing those sort of things always does mean a lot to me, I'm glad I could be a part of it.
As a fellow femboy, you've encouraged me to honest about my beliefs. I use to feel alone because I wasn't left-wing and kept quiet. People who bully us don't have our best interest at heart. There's no healthy reason to appease them.
You're absolutely right, unity is our destiny. United we stand, together we walk. Been a long time coming and I've finally understood that we were meant to be friends instead of foes all along. I can honestly say that I didn't engage in hateful harassment myself, yet was put off by Dimitri's sharp criticism about the trans community, labeling his criticism as destructive inside my head. Something that was further exasperated by the gender-essentialist viewpoint of a certain group of his fans. You can either stand tall or smoll, but definitely stand proud. Because GNC rights and Trans rights are human rights!
Stop calling yourself that, ur a boy like any
Dogmatism has gotten pretty bad in today's internet culture. Nuance isn't very welcome. Plus there's indeed just that desire of people to wanna categorize, label and box anyone and everything under the sun. I'm super sorry to hear you fell victim to all of this bullshit. And like others have also mentioned, I think it's a great quality to want to understand others, even if their opinions differ heavily from your own.
Good luck with everything dude, you deserve it!! 😊
Possibly the most maddening thing about being autistic, is that in addition to not being able to "get" other people you can barely "get" yourself. And it makes it all the more difficult to convey your own thoughts and feelings when we feel like we have to.
It makes those rare times when you do "get" someone, feel damn near euphoric.
It's so creepy that people do stuff like this. It's part of the reason why I want to start a CZcams channel, but I have my inhibitions about it. And you don't deserve this treatment - no one does.
Hey there, might be a lurker (and never knew the extend of the hate/stalk you recieved constantly) but just remember that there is plenty of us that doesn't speak, but support you and adore you and your content. Love from Canada.
a friend dropped a video of yours by me earlier this week and i've just binged a bunch of your stuff. you've got a lot of interesting things to say, poignant points, and honestly very measured responses to shit that is just refreshing to see nowadays. it's so sickening that discussion backed by verifiable facts and sound logic is so commonly dropped in favor of wielding whatever people can find as metaphorical weapons to slay each other with. mad respect, keep standing tall, i'll be looking forward to what comes next.
Dimitri, I don't care how long it takes for you to upload dude. You can take as much time as you need, and like me and others have said before, to hell with your haters. Just keep doing what you do and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
"It's never about a group, it's always about the individual" Thank you, omg. This constant pitting of different identities against each other, generalizing a few as the entire group, claiming one makes the other look bad is so irritating to me.
Aside from that, good on you for being so open about this, speaking as a fellow autistic person I can't really say it would at all be easy for me to talk about something like this and I think you did a great job explaining everything here.
You gotta be you. Only one in the world.
I'll just keep moving forward
1. I wholeheartedly support you, Dimitri.
Just discovered you over the latest dogpiling that’s happening to you. You seem like such a cool person and I despise how people have done you. It’s messed up. I hope you’re feeling alright and thanks for staying true to yourself. I’m glad to have discovered you and am definitely a fan.
Thank you friend, I appreciate the kind words (:
You seem like someone who is able to handle this stuff but christ didn't realise it was this bad. Anyway looking forward to your next video I'm sure it will be good.
I have Autism and horrible depression with Executive Dysfunction making it hard to function on my own. I've always in the back of my mind wanted to start a CZcams channel to show the raw reality and raise awareness, with a highlight on my therapy cat and what she does for me. But I never have because I KNOW I will eventually get harassment or even cancelled, and I just cannot handle that. It's so stupid that that's the reality of the internet no matter what you do.
It's the sad state of things, but all of that especially with your cat sounds like it would be really nice (:
My situation shares these things. I hope you and your cat are doing alright now.
It's ok dude, I'm still going to be a creepy friend to you ❤
I would not have it any other way
Thanks for being an authentic presence on a platform I fell in love with because of that very authenticity, and that I see disappearing a little more each day. People like you are what make the internet and CZcams great
Hope you're doing alright. I've been a lot happier since I got off of Twitter. It's just a cesspit of negativity. Obviously don't let people bully you off a platform, but make sure you're getting a net positive off of being online. I always liked your vids cause they're legitimately thoughtful and offer a unique perspective.
Such is the life in the brave new world where opinions are violence and need to be policed.
People are just too quick to vilify one another. It's really sad to see.
All the best for you.
Learned a lot about you here, man. Didn't know your home and work life was so rough. I'm glad you're persevering.
"I am autistic" oh, now the Sonic stuff makes sense.
Social media is a hellscape. Don't do social media kids, you'll thank yourself for it later, it brings nothing but misery.
Take as much time as you need, we'll still be here for you.
This video hits home hard, ewpecially the part about being friends with people with different opinions. I really wish the best for you dude
I discovered your channel back with the "When did Pokémon stop being good" video and the "problem with the LGBT community" and really like your analysis type videos overall and became a fan.
Being a Bisexual man I've encountered both positive and negative responses in the LGBT community with some completely understanding my situation without questioning it and just treating me like a regular guy who just happens to be Bi. Other times however there is a sort of elitism where I am told who I am according to a stranger who doesn't know me. Saying Bisexuality is not real or your sexuality depends on who you are dating. It isn't like when I am single I suddenly become asexual or if I date someone with dark hair it means I suddenly stop beong attracted to anyone with hair that isn't dark. That isn't how it works and it bothered me people tried to tell me who I am better than I know myself. Or people expect me to act a certain way because I am Bi, like I may be untrustworthy as a partner who will cheat on someone or some will think I am naturally effeminite while others think I "don't seem Bi" because I don't act that way to their personal bias.
You talking about people blatantly trying to tell you who you are or they try to gaslight you for not fitting their idea of identity really resonates with me.
I woulf love to see you make more content but mental health is important and if people are still giving you shit for no justifiable reason and it takes the fun out of video making then it's understandable if you want to stop or take a break. Whatever is best for you, take care of yourself man and if you ever do plan to continue new projects or videos you'll have fans who will be there for you.
I heard about you via an anon on Tumblr mentioning one of your videos and I looked you up, only for accusations to show up first in the search bar. I've been around long enough to know not to take them at face value so I ended up watching this video. I won't get into details about anything, but I have been dealing with a similar situation as yours, albeit on a much smaller scale. I've also had lots of negative encounters, including harassment and suicide-bait, from the online trans community...despite the fact that I'm trans myself.
On top of that, I have the same problem with having a hyper-fixation on being understood and understanding others which I've unfortunately not beaten yet as months after I still have panic attacks over what happened to me. But I just wanted to say that it's comforting to see that someone who's gone through something similar and who has that specific trait come out on top of all the bullshit. It gives me hope that maybe one day I'll be able to get there too, that I'll maybe be okay in future, so thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
I'm just one person, but if it means anything at all, I'm definitely sticking around as a fan. ^^
Just be you Dimitri. Dont let anyone else tell you what you should be or do, I have big respect for creators like you.
This is why I always go in with the attitude of screw it if people end up not liking me that's on them but that's harder for some people to do than others good video by the way
This is so, so cathartic to hear right now. I can't relate to all this, but while I'm trying to figure out how to navigate the Online World and share my work as I try to juggle maintaining my IRL situation on top of that; a lot of this constantly runs through my head. Thanks for this, and your other vids
I've been watching you for a few years now. I'll be honest and say your cuteness is what pulled me in first since I thought you were attractive, but what made me stay is how un-wavering and consistent you were with your content in spite of the backlash you got. It's sad that you are facing so much stress as a content creator as our job is mostly to just entertain people and provide them an outlet or escape.
However, with the current landscape of things, there are a lot of people more invested in being toxic, having some crusade, and trying to be morally right than trying to get the facts right. With that said, as someone who supports you, I do thank you for your sacrifices as it is nice to hear a creator be real, honest, and open with their struggles as it provides insight and even relief for myself as I've dealt with similar paranoia/stress to a lesser degree even though I make mostly in-offensive content.
Hopefully, this video will inspire others not to be so quick to condemn others, be more respectful, stop putting pressure on content creators and allow people to make mistakes and recover/learn from them. It's so annoying how the landscape of the internet has changed these past 5-10 years.
Best of luck man.
Wishing you the best, Dimitri. I've always found your perspective valuable even when I didn't agree with you, and I'm glad to know that you still refuse to be anything less than your authentic self. All the best for 2021 and beyond! ✨
I stumbled across your videos today and I really appreciate your authenticity. Doing the things that you like, may it be dressing a certain way, working a certain job, having certain hobbies, passions etc. will most likely cause conflicts with other people (especially when they are not that usual). But seeing you standing up straight, doing the things you like nonetheless and speaking up against what you think is not right is incredibly admirable and inspiring.
I feel happy that you’re still here to this day! I love what you make and I’m glad to have you. It’s cool you’re still sticking through.
I'm sorry you've been going through all this stuff. I've been watching you for a while I enjoy your content and I enjoy you. You're a fun person I hope they didn't fully kill your vibe. People like that are terrible. I hope things get better for you.
Bro I've ben missing your videos for a while. This was really cool to see a personal sit down with ya, even if it was about something rough. Looking forward to seeing best kawaii boi posting stuff and doing what he enjoys. Keep being you man, that's why we're here!
I'll say it again, Dimitri makes me want to be the better version of myself, and I'm always thankful for that.
Happy 2021.
Dimitri, I really really relate to this whole video. As someone who has had some similar life experiences, I appreciate this video a lot. I know this video was probably hard for you to make, but it's helped me a lot just hearing someone talk about this type of stuff. Thank you.
i wish i had words of support beyond i love your content and im glad i found your channel.
Sorry to hear about the shit you had to deal with, as an individualist myself who hates the collectivism we see running rampant so much these days, I can relate to you your frustrations, though the repercussions I've dealt with for doing so have thankfully been nowhere near as bad as yours. Despite the problems you've met because of it, I think it's really brave of you to stand up for what you think and not get bullied into falling in line. Really looking forward to your next video, keep up the great work my man!
Honestly I can relate to a lot of points, I've honestly changed a lot the past year or so after kind of realizing I wasn't liking the people I thought I was friends with online anymore, it took me forever to realize as I always convinced it was something wrong with me and honestly it could've ended horribly if I didn't realize it wasn't me but man it's been difficult to move on due to all I did back there but hopefully maybe I can start doing something new and meet better people, just wanna say hope you're doing well.
I missed your videos :) I do hope you continue it. I enjoy the vast majority of your content and shared most on some of my favorite Discord servers, even the ones that didn't involve traps or anything like that. The one about achievements is one of my favorites.
Thank you for being open with your story. Nobody deserves what you had to deal with and I hope those people just leave you alone. I have always loved your content and your viewpoint. Take as much time as you need for your well being. You will always have a group of people who will support you ❤️
I really feel for you man.
Your not alone in this. At Least I hope not. Ive been following along this "subject" for a very long time. Not studying and tracking things necessarily like some kind of wannabe cyber sleuth, but being one of those antisocial, sheltered kids growing up I learned early on to keep to my self, and to watch out for peoples actions and beliefs around me. All i'll say is that compassion is not always as easy and simple as poets or speakers can make it out to be. Neither is patience.
But no matter what, you've still got to do what you have to for your own sanity and health.
I hope to one day try and put my own voice out on the subject once I have better control of my nerves. Every little bit of compassion and patience counts.
But at the very least I hope we're all able to come together someday in understanding rather than judgement. It's really great hearing from you again to. Even though I had forgotten a lot about youtube and the internet these last dozen months. :P
man, seeing just the extent some people will go to vilify someone they've decided is bad is just upsetting. i often worry for the future of just online discussion in general, cause even a slight step in the wrong direction can get you ruined. it sucks. i'm truly sorry you have to put up with that kind of shit on the daily, and i genuinely have so much respect for you for sticking to your guns and staying true to yourself despite all of it. whatever you decide to do next, i'm definitely gonna be there for it
Can definitely understand where your coming from Dimitri. Thank you for sharing and I hope things get better for you.
Very good video. Really sorry to hear about all that you've been through
(Cringe comment incoming) You are genuinely the sweetest cinnamon roll of a person and you don’t deserve any of this bullshit you get constantly. I hope this gets better for you! In the meantime I will always be a fan.
Not gonna lie, watching him eat the chick fil a brings warmth to my heart. And I too hope his situation gets better.
Thank you for sharing your story. Whist I can't fully relate since I've never received anywhere near the amount of flack you've gotten and have gone out of my way to avoid it I am glad to see other people having similar experiences.
Sorry you had to go through all this. Your mental health is more important then uploads
its always the people who preach themselves to be tolerate of others to be the most intolerant, awful to hear these things happened.
I've began to follow you, because how much I appreciated your perspective, one that I admire and appreciate so much. It hurts to hear that you got so hurt because of it.
I understand why you didn't put out as many videos, and it's ok. I can wait. Take good care of yourself, and know that we do love you, and what you make.
it's okay dimi you know i love you
Geez, even though this was years ago. I'm sorry you went through all this.
I'll offer an opposite point of view to the negativity. I've really appreciated your videos from video game talk to LGBT topics, and you're one of the people who helped inspire me to come out to my friends and family. I won't go overboard and say "I came out because of your videos." but listening to your talks and watching you be you was one of the things that helped to inspire me to make the change in my life. Being an out of the closet femboy is way more fun anyways.
I really like your videos because, for someone who avoid social media like the plague, yours is a point of view that i dont see that often. I really hate when people go to extremes "everything about this idealogy is pefect and this other is evil" or "everyone in this group is either a saint or satan".
Hate that people want to simplify things by blaming groups or communities while ignoring that all people can be good or bad, sometimes both, and ignore that the internet can bring out both the worst and the best out of people.
find you entertaining and have a strangely calming voice. Also i cant deny that cute is cute when i see it.
I'm personally really thankful that you made those videos even though it's sad that you experienced hardship from them.
Honestly, just hearing your voice with this music makes me happy!
That's quite a based return video i must say
memeing apart im glad you sorted out all of that crap and returned stronger
social media can be exausting especially now in the new 2020s,filled with vapidness and others frustration,the constant and neverending clashes,thats why im gradually leaving them all together
i can say that me discovering you and your content kinda helped me figure out who i am,even minimally (it's called domino effect for a reason amirite?) so thanks a lot
Im rn not in the best mental state or life state in general but all that hardened me and im making it out the best i can
stay strong out there-
Thank you for sharing this video. I have enjoyed you sharing your points of view in the past and as someone who isn't neurotypical and has had similiar (while different) struggles myself, it is comforting if nothing else.
I don’t know if an comment this late on a year old video is gonna be seen, and I’ll probably bungle the wording of what I mean, but I regret not being here to comment when this was posted. Your reduced posting coincided with my senior year of college, and I dropped off. Checked back in and started binging again. I love you and your videos, and identify with a lot. I’m so happy you’re back, and that you’re enjoying it again, no matter how long it took.
Sorry you've had to go through this man, you don't deserve it, you seem like a really nice guy.
Never stop doing what you love, you want and most importantly is so good for you! Never change if you dont want to, never stop being who you are, you have all the support you need with us. This is honestly surprisingly since i don't follow you outside of your channel, but believe me when i say: We missed you.
All I know is that you are one of the most chill and we'll spoken gaming analysts on youtube right now and watching your videos is relaxing.
It's crazy how you've been going through so much and yet you managed to conceal that fact for the sake of your content.
As long as you stay true to yourself you won't be hurt by any hater
Yeah, opening the Pandora’s box that is transgenderism is a dangerous effort.
I liked your video about the word “trap”, and I really enjoy your content as a whole. Really insightful, nuanced videos.
Having friends that have different opinions isn’t a bad thing at all. But I guess the “tolerant” people that totally won’t skin you alive if you don’t fall in line with their opinion don’t like that.
I agree about not talking with people online to a significant degree. I don’t think I can ever fully trust people I’ve never met (I struggle to trust even the ones I’ve met!)
Just take care of your health.
It disgusts me that its becoming the norm to harass and ruin someones life because they have a differing opinion. I hate the thought of people one day in the future not expressing themselves or their opinions due to the fear of situations like this. Thank you for speaking about this on CZcams i didnt know half this stuff was happening since i dont use twitter (cause its a toxic cesspool) and i feel for you and others who've delt with this.
Keep doing you Dimitri you've helped me not feel so alone as someone who is religious and a trans person because I don't fit into the box the "LGBT community" wants. Everyone deserves to be themselves all of us gay straight or whatever we are all just human beings so much of us care about you so keep doing you.
You existing on the internet is amazing ether way. Your videos are always awesome (No matter how long they take) and your streams are always entertaining. Keep doing what you're doing and don't let anything stop you.
Honestly cant say anything more than i like you and your content for what it is and ill continue to watch you long as you have a platform. Lots of fuzzies and vibes from here on heres praying
Just found your channel with the 'problems of localization' video you did. Was hopping you would do a video on genshin impacts translation problems you mentioned in that video. Anyway hope you do more videos soon.
haven't heard from this channel in a while, really bummed out to hear that it came to this. You're content is great, excited for your next video...
the dark souls 2 apology :^)
I've followed you on Twitter for a while, since I think your videos are cool and because your tweets are pretty funny. I had a rough idea that you were being unfairly targeted, but I never knew to what an extent the harassment went. I really do hope these people that are harassing you not only find justice for what they did, I hope they find peace with themselves to where they don't have to attack people to feel validated.
Unfortunately, ideologues are ideologues no matter what side of the aisle they're on, and they'll be just as unreasonable either way, be they Conservative Christians or "Progressive" Liberals.
😎7 I know this videos old as hell, but keep up the great work Dmitri
Being on the zestier side of things myself your whole "live as you please"/anti conformist mantra always gelled with me.
Especially in this "between a rock and a hard place" world with the fervently religious on one end & the stunning and brave type who'll chew you out for the tiniest shit on the other
That can certainly explain why I can enjoy your videos even when I disagree, it's cause I can relate much more to how to get your viewpoint and we see differing opinions as a chance to communicate rather than start an argument or harassment campaign. Honestly, it's just nice to see you again since I personally can't really stand watching streams.
Your channel is incredibly underrated and I love your videos.
Thank you so much !!
If you don’t upload, I know a bunch of people will still be here to support you in what you want to do. Whatever you do, you are yourself and you are ok with being yourself, and you deserve commendation for just that. You are an inspiration for just doing that, and I hope things get better for you in the future when dealing with anyone trying to be rude and take you down 🖤
As somebody who saw a couple of videos of yours a while ago and subscribed, I just wanna apologize and share my condolences for how you've been treated all this time. People often wield their religion or minority status or anything that makes them stand out like a hammer, and smack anyone that slights them, no matter how lightly, down with it without remorse or mercy. It's not exactly biblical to do in the case of Christianity, and it's certainly not a nice thing to do, but people let their emotions override their judgement and don't think about the damage their words or actions will cause. I hope you're feeling better now and eventually these guys leave you alone, but you might have to make separate social media accounts just so the stalkers on Reddit don't keep you from interacting with folks online completely.
Geez, I had no idea all this was happening in the background. It doesn't surprise me that these sorts of "tolerant" groups would be so unreasonably spiteful and vindictive since it's in their nature to both cannibalize each other and those who don't 100% agree with them. Anywho, I appreciate your various analysis videos, they are well scripted and interesting enough to make me look at the topic from a different perspective (the digimon vid and various anime related one are all favorites).
Damn, that's rough.
Good to see you're ploughing on in spite of it all.
I found your stuff through the persona video you did back when I was on a huge persona kick after playing 5 for the first time. I really enjoy your content and that LGBT video really resonated with me even though I am a lesbian but I was highly confused as a teen many years ago now as I was pretty tomboyish (I am hyper femme now to the point I have regressed into rococo fashion) and I just felt like giving teen me a big ol hug after that video.
Take care of yourself dude. Mental health is so very important and I really wish you well
Not 100% certain what to say, hope this isn't a weird comment or anything, but you've always been one of my favourite content creators to be quite honest. Every time I see an upload by you, I'm always interested to hear what kind of opinion you're gonna put out there. The fact that you're not afraid to just give your opinion or a critique on something (Pokemon for example) always makes for very interesting topics with what you offer on the subject. Your personality/sense of humour is nice too based of what I gleam off of your videos/the occasional stream I lurk in.
Sorry to hear you've had to deal with any of this kind of stuff. It really does suck to have people like this out there who just won't listen to anything you say/take things you say out of context just so they can be angry or outraged about something. It especially sucks when it's people you think are your friends, getting "offended" over something you've said and excommunicate you without even so much as a discussion or clarification on the issue. Looking at things in a black and white morality is absurd and seeing people try to vilify you over who you are is ridiculous. I just hope you keep positive and do whatever is best for you.
I'll always give a view when you upload something, no matter the topic, and if you ever vanish for a while then it's no problem, because again, you should always do what is best for you. It's easier said than done of course, but I hope you'll always have people around to help you out through things like this, and to never compromise who you are. As you say, so long as you are not hurting anyone/breaking any laws and always take the time to reflect upon yourself then there's no harm in being who you are. You seem to be a very genuine/authentic person, and that's one of the things that is very appealing about you and your content.
Anyway, sorry if this is a bit of a... rambly/weird comment. Hope you continue to take care of yourself. Whatever upload schedule you stick to is fine by me. Just do what works for you and say whatever you want to say. I'll always come back to take a listen.
Stay up King. I subscribed because your videos and personality are cool. Everything else is everything else
as some who never watned to do youtube vidoes because of this problem i can see where you're coming from, all i can say is taking a break from the internet once and awhile can be good for you.
Wishing you the best man
Keep on doing what you wanna do. Your videos always cheered me up and appealed to me no like other content creator.
PS: Echidna is best girl keep on lewding her.
I respect this man, keep up the good work, looking forward to the next video.
I don't watch you as much as I used to man but this is a rough thing to see and you've helped me come to terms with my sense of self at least a small bit before (Effeminate men and all that). You best be doing great out there and keep doing you Dimitri.
@Shonen Sushi I used to hang with a very like Pink Pill type crowd, Wasn't good people to be around. Dimitri and his definitely helped me deal with getting out of there and finding out who I am.
Bro its bullshit you get all this flug at you, genuinely seem like a chill person
You are a great guy Dimitri. In an online enviroment that is increasingly dominated by tribalism, name-calling and outrage, you've always presented well-formulated arguments and views that have been interesting to hear, even of I disagreed, and I think that is very important. So many people on all sides bear grudges and feel like they have to destroy those they disagree with, and often I've seen people I would agree with start down the same dark path as the people they criticized, making the same mistakes. So many people excuse shitty behaviour if it harms people they dislike, and it makes me so sad, because it shows a genuine lack of empathy, or people being unwilling to see others as people.
You seem to understand this, and that's why I appriciate your videoes so much. You should do what makes you happy, but know that I will always be happy when a new video from you drops, and I know I'm not alone. :)
Bro I hear your story and it makes me feel like a dumbfuck for being so stressed over things that are not even a tenth of what you've been through. As soon as i finished the video i immediately went back to the books cuz i need this exam done in a week.
Keep on keeping on, man. Absolutely bs that you or anyone should have to put up with these deranged hateful people. Stay true to yourself and remember God loves you more than you'll ever know. Looking forward to future uploads whenever they may be.
Love ya Dimitri, always got ya back!
Hey, Im so sorry this happened to you :( Ive been wondering where you went because, while you were a youtuber I never really watched religiously, you are literally the reason I have the friends I do now and not some toxic people. Its wild, I need to go rewatch the video again, but your ending comments on the swsh controversy made me realize I was in a hive mind that was supportive of me, nor was healthy. I wont delve too much into it, since I respect your wants to just have a channel dedicated to fun stuff you like, but I just wanted to say thank you, and wish you well.
good luck, i’m always gonna be here😌
Being a pretty boy just comes with lots of haters.
They hate him because they ain't him.
