Of course, one can only be down bad in relation to something else. If he is at the core of the earth, then he has reached the pinnacle of downbad! Everyone can look down on him from anywhere!
My girlfriend is Chinese and I asked her if she heard about this, and her response was "this happens so often in China I wouldn't be able to distinguish it between the others" Also in Chinese there's a word for brother that has a sexual connotation to it, its not like here where brother has the opposite insinuation, for english speakers it would be like calling him daddy.
An American man did this too. His family didn’t disown him, they wanted him to get help. He didn’t want to stop sending her alll their life savings, so he offed ALL of them. Very sad outcome for those patient people. RIP.
reminds me of this one reddit story. a guy would bring food and money to this one homeless guy that lived near his workplace, the money would be to pay him to stop hooligans from breaking into the car and the food cause homeless. one day the man got off from worj and every car except his was damaged from the hookigans and the homeless guy was standing there proud that he protected the mans car

Sometimes I wonder if these sorts of people are this common all throughout human history and we are just now becoming aware of them because of the internet.
Imagine a person walks up to you in 550 BC while you were getting some food and says "I will give you the king's daily allowance if you say I'm special"
There were definitely people in the past who would do or give anything for kings, queens, emperors, pharaohs, or any high-class person. But they were rarely ever recorded. Nowadays, this has certainly changed
From what I hear it's very hard to gain savings like that in China, that he completely wasted his funds on a parasocial relationship when he has a family is just tragic for them.
As someone who doesn't even watch streamers-objectively, let's face it, the lowest-effort (& -brow) of all content-I feel even prouder. not really actually I'm very lonely
There just needs to be some sort of balance and common sense. don't spend all your live savings for a streamer, but helping and donating a few dollars every once in a while shouldn't hurt. They're literally entertaining you as you are watching the stream, i think it's a good gesture to give back and support them if you have extra income
My father worked in China for 10 years as a commercial director for a large company, so he talked about social medias with his marketing teams almost daily, he told me such WILD stories about the world of Chinese livestream but I think my favorite one was about how some girl got sponsored by a company making SATELLITE LAUNCHERS and was told to sell a satellite launching service on one of her streams (the thing was like 6 million dollars), it was sold after literally 2 minutes. I swear to God I’m not making this up, there’s even articles online about this story.
@ Yes. Chinese livestreams are are a whole other level, and again, you can find articles online about this specific instance. I could go on for a pretty good while about all the stories I’ve heard about but this one is the one that stuck to me the most.
Now that I think about it, why couldn't the man just take a clip of the streamer saying "brother" at some point of time if he is that obsessed with wanting to hear her say it? I mean, I guess he just wanted her to say it personally to him but at some point of time, if I we're him, I'll just take the losses.
$550k and could’ve done anything bruh. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to even have money. (Edit: Changed the wording abit cause it isn’t his own money but still crazy he takes that stolen money to use it on this)
Reminds me of the Grant Amato case. Addicted to sending money to a cam girl to the extent his family sent him to rehab. He murdered his entire family after they cut him off and used his dead dad's thumb print to access more money to send the cam girl. I believe the monetary total was lower but in terms of insane crimes it's definitely worse.
Yeah he spent $200,000 if I remember correctly and his brother bailed him out because he still cared for him. His family wanted him to seek help. Plus he saved some money to him to Japan because Grant was interested in Anime and stuff but still killed him in cold blood. It’s really saddening.
It's very real and something I've witnessed myself. It usually starts small and harmless, but it can add up quickly and spin out of complete control if you are in denial how addictive it really is as many "think" they are still in control and just doing what they "want" to do and "could" stop anytime, but once they "feel like" they are in too deep they feel "trapped" as they feel too ashamed to admit what they've done to anyone to get the help needed before it's really too late and instead turn to donating more to stay in that "safe" fantasy world a little longer until they get caught and punished for all of the shame they've been carrying for what they've done.
Makes sense, if she did then he would probably view that as a sign that she likes him and become more obsessed/donate more money, making the situation worse for everyone.
8:54 Grant Amato stole around $270K from his family to spend on a cam girl from Eastern Europe, then murdered his parents and a sibling when confronted about it.
I think the 500 K was the life savings if this guy still had 500 K by the time he was stealing copper pipes and his family’s life savings, he would not be on the verge of malnourishment
Feeling like they need a estate lawyer to sue them for spendthrift clauses. You can actually lose your legal powers over this, and hope it's retroactive enough to rollback any recent "spurious" transactions. It's what keeps my father from selling his estate for a dime to deny us inheritance. We spendthrift him so he loses power of attorney over himself
When something like this happened in the U.S in ended with the donator killing both of his parents and less than an hour later donating to his “girlfriend” with his dead parents stolen credit card. There’s a JCS or something about it if anyones interested
“Brother” in Chinese equals “Daddy” in English or “Onichan~” in anime. It’s has sexual undertones and implies er, desire. He wasn’t asking to be called “Bro”, he wanted to be called “Zaddy”
It can have sexual undertones. But it’s more used to be cute to your SO. And you’ll use it with every other older male even if you’re not dating or related. Its more like Oppa than onichan
@TheGuyWithSomeMemes From the looks of it, he used to be smart enough to save up money. Up until he met this streamer anyway. What I don't understand is how do these people just suddenly flip to the point of this level of idiocity. Why give away you'r life savings, years of hard work, to someone you've known for a few months at best? How could you get this attached to someone, more attached to them than to you'r own family members, to the point of stealing FROM you'r own family just so she can get richer? This isn't new either, plenty of people have done this. This is just the most recent incident of it's kind. I don't think I'll ever understand why this even happens.
it’s complex but the term in chinese is ‘gege’ which is a term you use on any *older* male for affectionate proposes. more commonly used for crushes or someone your admire. same for japanese onii or koreans oppa, we don’t use honorifics in english so it translate to brother. and people donating to streamers to say this is unfortunately pretty common in china and other places
@@laukpauk6053 i wouldn’t exactly go that far. it can be used for flirting yes but it can be used for admiration and affection. in chinese it can even be abbreviated to [name]-ge which is slightly more relaxed version. maybe asking someone to call you ‘handsome’ would be more suited (but in a personal tone?)
When I brought scrap copper in to my local scrap metal place I got about 4.50$ cad per pound for bare copper, which would would work out to be a little over 3$ US. Assuming he was getting the same rate for his stuff he would have had to steal around 100 000 pounds of copper.
@ it’s not an excuse buddy. He still did it and he deserves some form of punishment. Doesn’t mean I can’t show compassion for his sickness. Having a mental disorder doesn’t excuse you from the bad things you do, it’s just heart breaking to see.
i think they should look for the girl too, maybe she's been taking advantage of a serious mentally ill person and manipulated him into believing he had a chance if he did such a thing then probably didnt ever replied to him, there's cold minded people who will do things like this for routine without even caring, you think she would give him even $1 back? never and this is something that someone else should have told him beforehand for him to realize lol
@@unskilled822 wow that’s pretty good thinking never thought of that could be she def allowed this to happen and was prob telling him to donate hella money but even if she was the guy I don’t think he’s mentally ill it’s just he simps too much and lusts over women too much
Most female streamers are like that tho. They only care about money they make easily while man have to work untill they die to bearly see that amount of money in their entire lifes. And still they complain about women having it worse. @@unskilled822
the doner definitely deserves the bulk of shit that he's getting, but we cant deny that the streamer isn't benefiting from some sort of unearned privilege from this
@@sabsain2399 Integrity or a hard line of questioning could've stopped it, or gotten insight into what he was dealing with during this time. Any person worth their salt would have a ton of questions if someone just handed over $500k unless it was very clear that it was from someone extremely well off. Even then anyone with a brain would question their motives.
@@GoingNorthObv you sure about that? Footballers make a shxt ton of money - more than doctors. Nobody bats an eye. If somebody gave me 550k in this economy, I wouldn't bat one either. Are you implying that female streamers should be responsible for men's health and actions?
This guy seriously spent over a half a million USD just for someone to call him brother. I could probably convince my mom to adopt him for half of this
@@ragdoll86 still he didnt got anything, he basically paid for somone to say a phrase and thats it, was it worth? def not like at all lol he could have gotten the most beautiful lady around there for 1% the money he had spent on this other woman, if that guy thinks this girl fell in love with him for doing that he's just delusional that woman lost all respect for him the moment he did it maybe if he was rich she would have fallen for it (knowing he has way more than that) but his chances are zero now, now hes poor as fuc
@@unskilled822 he seems very obsessive, I'm glad no one got hurt physically. I doubt he would have gotten anyone with that money, though. Except a scammer.
This reminds me of the grant amatto case. He was a piece of garbage who was addicted to paying for chats with an OF model to the point where he stole over 50,000 dollars from his family (I think it might have been more i can't remember). The family tried to step in and get him to stop, even reaching out to the model to ask her to stop taking the money but none of that worked and he killed his mom, dad, and brother. Took whatever leftover money he could find and spent his last days chatting with her till he got arrested.
maybe its lost in translation but in chinese, brother (哥哥) is often used as a romantic term much like in korean where oppa (also brother) is also a romantic term.
Bru.. it’s not romantic.. it’s cringe.. very incel simp cringe Please.. for the love of god do not call people this stuff unless you are actually a pair
@@Elephantian-joy i mean it denotes familiarity not actual blood relation. i follow cpop groups and the dudes call older dudes gege too, it's just an honorific
I think there's a slight cultural difference here. In Chinese, "big brother" when used on someone who is not your actual brother has implications that are similar to "daddy" in more Western media. It's still degen and hella sad, but it's not just "brother"
Yea like the other person said, you are almost right. You can call strangers brother and sister and actually mean that because of good relationship or because you don't know the person and want to get their attention or if you desribe them to a 3rd party, so you address them as brother or sister depending their age or even aunt or uncle. China and I think east Asia in general regularly uses familial terms and apply it to strangers, I think because the societies are so community focused and also probably because clans used to exist and still kind of do to an extent. However, yes the last usage is in relationships sometimes. I can't even say it's completely fetish-y like daddy, since the usage of brother or sister is so common in normal circumstances.
@KaiserTwo fair, but I am Chinese and I live in SE Asia, and the only context where this honourific is really commonly used between strangers to acquaintances to even not-close friends is in a similar way to "daddy", like with male creators being called "ge" / "gege"(big brother) or some female streamers being paid to call their male donators the same thing (like we see in the video). Sure, just like how people can call their actual fathers "daddy", it doesn't always have to be Like That and people can call older guys they respect/feel like family "gege" but this video is very much Not That
You’re right about the dadddy thing.. but it is used cause it means.. big bother lol.. siblings use it 😂.. peolpe dating.. mmmm.. it’s wierd.. but it could have gotten popular like oppa and onichan. It its cringe.. i dont even use it I on my brother.. * shiver.. just thinking abou tit
You just need to be good at 1 thing to make money , it's not rare to see someone with a bachelor or even doctorate be egregiously dumb about things in general
He went about this all wrong. If he had just changed his user name to brother she would have called him brother after he donated in order to thank him. He had to go make it weird and now he'll never hear her call him brother, lol!
From what I know, most of these streamers in China work for agencies, and do not personally get the money donated to them but just receive a paycheck, possibly a commission if they're a good earner. They're literally pretty girl stables kept by an LLC... and I doubt the -E pimps- company gives af where it gets its money from.

I had to edit and repost this comment 6 times removing over half of it due to youtube being offended by random and bizarre words... This site is absolute dogshit nowadays)
What honestly pisses me off about this whole situation is that barely anybody seems to comment that the streamer should give back the money. If someone hands you over their life savings and you are aware of that then the only acceptable response would be to give 100% of it back. It's so sickening how most people would run defense for streamers and lambast clearly mentally ill people that made stupid decisions.
@@AngryAcolyte "Blame the woman wearing a short skirt for being sexually assaulted"... Plus we didn't get the whole story here, who knows what happened to that money... the government knows the money was obtained through theft and also knows who got the money in the end... pretty sure in China that's quite the cut and dry resolution
@@AngryAcolyte still has something to say about the lack of quality of the streamers greedy personality when a situation like that it would be pretty dirty to keep such money when most of it wasn't even that guys money to spend. very similar to a persons kid stealing their parents card to gamble on loot boxes. we all know the money should be given back cause kids are devious lil monsters that will wait till you are asleep to break the rules and its messed up to make the family suffer for the stupid kid as much as the stupid kid still needs a punishment, like the guy in this case probably needs mental help
Didn’t he say in the video that the company is getting their money back and majority of it already? If youre talking about during that instance. I wouldn’t be able to tell ya but apparently it’s very common in china that the news ain’t that shocking in china. So many ppl donate that much. I’ve seen some very rich ppl who play games with other ppl drop so much bands as little tip money for content that it’s hard to decipher if they really are having a crisis or just that rich to where they don’t care
While it doesn't happen often, cases like this are not uncommon in China. Probably not to this extent, but people 'do' go crazy. But the guy who paid 50K that's an entirely different thing. At least the simp in China was starving himself to save money and committing crimes. The 50K guy had some kind of gofundme, asked viewers to send him money and after he did the animation, became so broke that he STILL went on to beg people for more money. And did a cry video how he's basically homeless just so other people would give him money. Those 2 things are completely different.
streamer to some degree in china has become like a factory where girls clock in to work then clock out so the streamer might not even be able to do so since she could be just a employee
Being able to clock out is getting rare at these companies. More and more streaming farms are popping up with inhumane working conditions.@@Yami0to0hikari
The most incredible thing about this is all you have to do is put yourself in the shoes of the streamer and think logically to understand why this would never work. Imagine, you’re a woman who does streaming, and one day some guy starts giving you absurd amounts of money in hopes that you will do something trivial for him. Now you of course notice this, and it would be trivially easy for you to grant this request, but then you start to realise, _hey, if I actually do this trivial thing, he might stop giving me money, but if I just pretend like I didn’t see it, he might keep going!_ And so you do just that, and he keeps going until he bleeds himself and his family dry. Unethical on your part? Well, you feel bad for the family, but his addiction was his problem, you’re not responsible for what he does, so in the end, you walk away with a lot of money and (with the exception of the family), a clear conscience.
That's not how morality works. Staying silent and continuing to bleed him of money is absolutely immoral. Your taking advantage of his clearly unsound state of mind. That doesnt mean he's not at fault, but saying its not immoral to take advantage of someone's addiction is ridiculous.
@@DustinMulligan-w9b Sorry but I disagree. I think that if she wants to be moral, she should give the family their money back, because it was stolen from them by him, but I don’t feel sorry for him at all. It has the same energy as men who blame the way women dress for their behaviour, no, it’s on them. Always on them. What happened to Hong is on him, but the streamer should absolutely reimburse the family
@@DustinMulligan-w9b All the streamer sees is a number and message usually. They could just as easily assume the donator is a rich weirdo who has insane levels of disposable income, as believing that the donator is mentally deranged weirdo who is ruining the lives of everyone around him. At the end of the day either assumption would be just that, an assumption/guess. Taking money from someone who chose to donate and whose financial/mental situation you know nothing about other than an educated guess is not immoral. I do think she should give back any money she did not spend after the situation became public. Tho knowing donations she probs didn't receive 100 percent of the money anyways.
My biggest question is did she never call him bro?? It’s unfathomable that she would receive that much money and not once call him. I’m sure most streamers would say call someone their brother for a dollar
If she did, then he would likely think that she likes him so would become more obsessed, and probably would donate more stolen money for her to call him something else. By ignoring him she probably wants to get him to realise his actions are pointless and stop.
Yeah, I'll never get the people who donate to those that are already multimillionaires. What's the point in helping the rich get richer? Even more sane donations like say $5 are pointless. That's a drop in the ocean that won't even register to them cause they've got so much money already. Either keep it to yourself or give it to an up and coming creator that is stuck working retail or something and can't afford a new mic or pc to make better content.
This is one of the saddest man I've heard of... Knowing guys like him exist actually gave me psychic damage. Worst of all is knowing that guys will blame the girl... as if she put a knife to this random's throat for donations. At a certain point people need to accept that others are responsible for their own actions. Even Bernie Sanders would see these people going bankrupt and say "Brother, at some point this is on you"
@TheGuyWithSomeMemes Being perpetually lonely while your culture also expects you to show off in very unhealthy ways (say... like spending a LOT of money). It's both them being lonely and their culture. This isn't entirely out of this world when it comes to china. Americans might think they have a whole "let me show off my rolex, i'm better than you" culture, but you haven't seen anything yet until you've seen how it is in China (and also Korea, though not as pronounced). Very unhealthy but also great for controlling people
I mean, are they really responsible for their own actions? Of course I would say yes but the insanity defense is sometimes accepted and you can't really be doing a thing like this without having some mental defect.
Imagine not blaming somebody for taking like 10 years average annual salary from someone who is most likely mentally ill or incapable or too immature to understand their actions. It's like a crackhead selling drugs to kids, then blaming the kids for not knowing any better.
Dude was down so ABYSMALLY bad that he's not even going to be an animal next life, man is going to Naraka and never leaving. Rest in peace his wretched soul, as he may never know the touch of a woman in the next life too.

@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Yes it's like Oni-Chan. Korean girls sometimes flirt calling a guy 'Oppa' which also means older brother

My father worked in China for 10 years as a commercial director for a large company, so he talked about social medias with his marketing teams almost daily, he told me such WILD stories about the world of Chinese livestream but I think my favorite one was about how some girl got sponsored by a company making SATELLITE LAUNCHERS and was told to sell a satellite launching service on one of her streams (the thing was like 6 million dollars), it was sold after literally 2 minutes.
I swear to God I’m not making this up, there’s even articles online about this story.
Somebody paid 6 million for a satellite launcher device?
@ Yes.
Chinese livestreams are are a whole other level, and again, you can find articles online about this specific instance. I could go on for a pretty good while about all the stories I’ve heard about but this one is the one that stuck to me the most.

thank you charlie for all the clips of you saying "brother" in this video so I can avoid giving my life savings to you to hear you say it
😂😂😂
Now that I think about it, why couldn't the man just take a clip of the streamer saying "brother" at some point of time if he is that obsessed with wanting to hear her say it? I mean, I guess he just wanted her to say it personally to him but at some point of time, if I we're him, I'll just take the losses.
Also streamer speech replicating AIs probably exist somewhere out there.
He is going to be disowned by his family. He is disgraced.
$550k and could’ve done anything bruh. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to even have money.
(Edit: Changed the wording abit cause it isn’t his own money but still crazy he takes that stolen money to use it on this)

Reminds me of the Grant Amato case. Addicted to sending money to a cam girl to the extent his family sent him to rehab. He murdered his entire family after they cut him off and used his dead dad's thumb print to access more money to send the cam girl. I believe the monetary total was lower but in terms of insane crimes it's definitely worse.
Wtf. How old was he?
@@hylianespeon3062he might’ve been in his 20s maybe or early thirties, take it with a grain of salt tho :3
Yeah he spent $200,000 if I remember correctly and his brother bailed him out because he still cared for him. His family wanted him to seek help. Plus he saved some money to him to Japan because Grant was interested in Anime and stuff but still killed him in cold blood. It’s really saddening.

Being addicted to donating to streamers is a vice I never considered someone could have. It makes drug addiction feel “vanilla” in a strange sense.
at least gambling has the chance to give you something of value in comparison to this 😭
It's very real and something I've witnessed myself. It usually starts small and harmless, but it can add up quickly and spin out of complete control if you are in denial how addictive it really is as many "think" they are still in control and just doing what they "want" to do and "could" stop anytime, but once they "feel like" they are in too deep they feel "trapped" as they feel too ashamed to admit what they've done to anyone to get the help needed before it's really too late and instead turn to donating more to stay in that "safe" fantasy world a little longer until they get caught and punished for all of the shame they've been carrying for what they've done.

“Brother” in Chinese equals “Daddy” in English or “Onichan~” in anime. It’s has sexual undertones and implies er, desire. He wasn’t asking to be called “Bro”, he wanted to be called “Zaddy”
more accurately it's "big bro"
It can have sexual undertones. But it’s more used to be cute to your SO. And you’ll use it with every other older male even if you’re not dating or related. Its more like Oppa than onichan

Stealing from you'r family so someone you barely even know calls you "Brother". The irony.
@TheGuyWithSomeMemes From the looks of it, he used to be smart enough to save up money. Up until he met this streamer anyway. What I don't understand is how do these people just suddenly flip to the point of this level of idiocity. Why give away you'r life savings, years of hard work, to someone you've known for a few months at best?
How could you get this attached to someone, more attached to them than to you'r own family members, to the point of stealing FROM you'r own family just so she can get richer? This isn't new either, plenty of people have done this. This is just the most recent incident of it's kind. I don't think I'll ever understand why this even happens.
it’s complex but the term in chinese is ‘gege’ which is a term you use on any *older* male for affectionate proposes. more commonly used for crushes or someone your admire. same for japanese onii or koreans oppa, we don’t use honorifics in english so it translate to brother. and people donating to streamers to say this is unfortunately pretty common in china and other places

This reminds me of the grant amatto case. He was a piece of garbage who was addicted to paying for chats with an OF model to the point where he stole over 50,000 dollars from his family (I think it might have been more i can't remember). The family tried to step in and get him to stop, even reaching out to the model to ask her to stop taking the money but none of that worked and he killed his mom, dad, and brother. Took whatever leftover money he could find and spent his last days chatting with her till he got arrested.

I think there's a slight cultural difference here. In Chinese, "big brother" when used on someone who is not your actual brother has implications that are similar to "daddy" in more Western media. It's still degen and hella sad, but it's not just "brother"
not exactly, but yeah it’s sometimes used in that endearing context. most of the time it’s still just an honorific
Yea like the other person said, you are almost right. You can call strangers brother and sister and actually mean that because of good relationship or because you don't know the person and want to get their attention or if you desribe them to a 3rd party, so you address them as brother or sister depending their age or even aunt or uncle.
China and I think east Asia in general regularly uses familial terms and apply it to strangers, I think because the societies are so community focused and also probably because clans used to exist and still kind of do to an extent.
However, yes the last usage is in relationships sometimes. I can't even say it's completely fetish-y like daddy, since the usage of brother or sister is so common in normal circumstances.
@KaiserTwo fair, but I am Chinese and I live in SE Asia, and the only context where this honourific is really commonly used between strangers to acquaintances to even not-close friends is in a similar way to "daddy", like with male creators being called "ge" / "gege"(big brother) or some female streamers being paid to call their male donators the same thing (like we see in the video). Sure, just like how people can call their actual fathers "daddy", it doesn't always have to be Like That and people can call older guys they respect/feel like family "gege" but this video is very much Not That
You’re right about the dadddy thing.. but it is used cause it means.. big bother lol.. siblings use it 😂.. peolpe dating.. mmmm.. it’s wierd.. but it could have gotten popular like oppa and onichan.

What honestly pisses me off about this whole situation is that barely anybody seems to comment that the streamer should give back the money.

@@AngryAcolyte still has something to say about the lack of quality of the streamers greedy personality when a situation like that it would be pretty dirty to keep such money when most of it wasn't even that guys money to spend. very similar to a persons kid stealing their parents card to gamble on loot boxes. we all know the money should be given back cause kids are devious lil monsters that will wait till you are asleep to break the rules and its messed up to make the family suffer for the stupid kid as much as the stupid kid still needs a punishment, like the guy in this case probably needs mental help
Didn’t he say in the video that the company is getting their money back and majority of it already? If youre talking about during that instance. I wouldn’t be able to tell ya but apparently it’s very common in china that the news ain’t that shocking in china. So many ppl donate that much. I’ve seen some very rich ppl who play games with other ppl drop so much bands as little tip money for content that it’s hard to decipher if they really are having a crisis or just that rich to where they don’t care

But the guy who paid 50K that's an entirely different thing. At least the simp in China was starving himself to save money and committing crimes.
The 50K guy had some kind of gofundme, asked viewers to send him money and after he did the animation, became so broke that he STILL went on to beg people for more money. And did a cry video how he's basically homeless just so other people would give him money.

No only is she a streamer, she’s Chinese. Obtaining money is their only purpose in life. They don’t have emotions like guilt or empathy.
The most incredible thing about this is all you have to do is put yourself in the shoes of the streamer and think logically to understand why this would never work. Imagine, you’re a woman who does streaming, and one day some guy starts giving you absurd amounts of money in hopes that you will do something trivial for him. Now you of course notice this, and it would be trivially easy for you to grant this request, but then you start to realise, _hey, if I actually do this trivial thing, he might stop giving me money, but if I just pretend like I didn’t see it, he might keep going!_ And so you do just that, and he keeps going until he bleeds himself and his family dry. Unethical on your part? Well, you feel bad for the family, but his addiction was his problem, you’re not responsible for what he does, so in the end, you walk away with a lot of money and (with the exception of the family), a clear conscience.
That's not how morality works. Staying silent and continuing to bleed him of money is absolutely immoral. Your taking advantage of his clearly unsound state of mind. That doesnt mean he's not at fault, but saying its not immoral to take advantage of someone's addiction is ridiculous.
@@DustinMulligan-w9b Sorry but I disagree. I think that if she wants to be moral, she should give the family their money back, because it was stolen from them by him, but I don’t feel sorry for him at all. It has the same energy as men who blame the way women dress for their behaviour, no, it’s on them. Always on them. What happened to Hong is on him, but the streamer should absolutely reimburse the family
@@DustinMulligan-w9b All the streamer sees is a number and message usually. They could just as easily assume the donator is a rich weirdo who has insane levels of disposable income, as believing that the donator is mentally deranged weirdo who is ruining the lives of everyone around him. At the end of the day either assumption would be just that, an assumption/guess. Taking money from someone who chose to donate and whose financial/mental situation you know nothing about other than an educated guess is not immoral. I do think she should give back any money she did not spend after the situation became public. Tho knowing donations she probs didn't receive 100 percent of the money anyways.

Gambling and these streaming sites should be discouraged by society
"Oh, brother this guy stinks" I hope the family could recover from this.
“Family, Can I have all of your life savings just to call some streamer Bro?!”
he is the one who wanted to be called bro
My biggest question is did she never call him bro?? It’s unfathomable that she would receive that much money and not once call him. I’m sure most streamers would say call someone their brother for a dollar
If she did, then he would likely think that she likes him so would become more obsessed, and probably would donate more stolen money for her to call him something else. By ignoring him she probably wants to get him to realise his actions are pointless and stop.
@@lentilsoup460 That, or maybe not calling him that keeps him paying, so it's better for her to just not do anything to stop this golden goose
@lentilsoup460 can't you refund donations? Do we know what site it was?
I'd call you brother for a half eaten big mac
Donating to big streamers is cringe, 100% waste of money
ikr they do NOT care about you
Yeah, I'll never get the people who donate to those that are already multimillionaires. What's the point in helping the rich get richer? Even more sane donations like say $5 are pointless. That's a drop in the ocean that won't even register to them cause they've got so much money already. Either keep it to yourself or give it to an up and coming creator that is stuck working retail or something and can't afford a new mic or pc to make better content.
@@TruEdge68 couldn't have said it better myself
Yeah i will Never donate to a streamer that genuinely always sounded like such a waste of money
💯 and I've watched charlie for 10+ years and have not and will probably never donate, but I absolutely love the man and the content.
This is one of the saddest man I've heard of... Knowing guys like him exist actually gave me psychic damage.
Worst of all is knowing that guys will blame the girl... as if she put a knife to this random's throat for donations. At a certain point people need to accept that others are responsible for their own actions. Even Bernie Sanders would see these people going bankrupt and say "Brother, at some point this is on you"
@TheGuyWithSomeMemes Being perpetually lonely while your culture also expects you to show off in very unhealthy ways (say... like spending a LOT of money). It's both them being lonely and their culture. This isn't entirely out of this world when it comes to china. Americans might think they have a whole "let me show off my rolex, i'm better than you" culture, but you haven't seen anything yet until you've seen how it is in China (and also Korea, though not as pronounced). Very unhealthy but also great for controlling people
it’s the same when ppl hate on OF girls instead of questioning all the men that are funding them lmao
exactly, that's the most bizarre part. "dont let women control you bro" youve been in control of yourself the whole damn time, this was your doing
I mean, are they really responsible for their own actions? Of course I would say yes but the insanity defense is sometimes accepted and you can't really be doing a thing like this without having some mental defect.
Imagine not blaming somebody for taking like 10 years average annual salary from someone who is most likely mentally ill or incapable or too immature to understand their actions. It's like a crackhead selling drugs to kids, then blaming the kids for not knowing any better.
I can't believe "Bro" was the Bay Harbor Simp
brother in Chinese is the equivalent of oppa in Korean if this gives context lmao
Dude was down so ABYSMALLY bad that he's not even going to be an animal next life, man is going to Naraka and never leaving. Rest in peace his wretched soul, as he may never know the touch of a woman in the next life too.
Dude reincarnation is a lie.
bro idk ur beliefs but i garantee you he will never come out of prison because he will rot there like the loser he is
💀
Naraka is diabolical 😭💔
Is that like some pagan version of an underdesirable afterlife?
The modern day lottery winners, content creators that find these absolute lobotomite donors
This is disgusting! I hate the desperation!! I really really want justice for the man's family!!!
I had to reread and re watch this video about 4 times to wrap my head around this 😢
bro, he dident even do it to an OF model. It was just a random streamer. HELLNAW
Mfs will do anything *except* actually talk to a woman 😭
Yeah but I pooped the bed at age 36 and a half then a giraffe robbed me so what now

It's crazy that someone can be so down bad that they literally ignore their own sense of survival. And bro isn't even single.
I love the daily use of the word "gadoosh" now by Charlie
All jokes aside, its actually really sad.
Imagine being so lonely you'd destroy your life for a brief moment of attention from someone who doesn't even know you exist
Meh
