hold the corner. create space.
This is just a stupid fight anyways. Hes saying Questron is lazy even though all of the content creators are basically lazy. They just don't want to admit it 😂🤦🏻🤦🏻. Yes even Awkward🙄🙄
I have been a silent watcher for a long time, but this video really hits me and wanna share my story to y’all .
I was in a total opposite situation, I was skinny af. 6’1 and 115 pounds in high school. Yep, skinny like a street pole. It wasn’t anyone calling me out but myself. I was like “you skinny af and all you do is playing video game, such a loser”. So I decided to hit the gym and gain some strength and weight. If any of you guys are skinny and has high metabolism, you know how hard to put some weight on, I was constantly forcing myself to eat, i would have 6 meals a day, and most of the times, the last meal after dinner, which was just a peanut butter sandwich, it would always take me a good 10 mins to try to swallow that sh*t, and multiple times of gagging and throwing up happened. But I got no choice, I have to have more calories than what I burnt to gain some muscles. It wasn’t enjoyable until I saw the progress. Then I noticed something has changed, not just my physical appearance but also my mentality. I became much more positive and confident than I was, I was willing to and able to challenge myself in life(academic, physical, and etc.,). IT FELT GREAT! I started engaging more into sports and learning english by myself( I barely knew how to speak English).
Fast forward to now, I have studied aboard and finished my bachelor’s and master’s in States by using my second language. Landed a pretty decent job.
What I was trying to say (not trying to brag about it) is that if I look back, I wouldn’t know that going to gym would’ve changed my life, instead, I was just trying to put on some weights. But the chain effect has pushed me to be a better person, to challenge myself in a daily basis.
Would going to gym and get fit changes your life? IDK 🤷 but going to gym and trying to get a healthier lifestyle probably is the one of the easiest and most noticeable things you can do in a short period of time while seeing your progress. It will definitely help you to find your potentials.
Sometimes you need someone like Awkward to be the one to “kick your butt” and tells you the truth in a “mean” way. Cloud he said in a nicer way? Ofc! But most of us will not take actions while you being told nice and sweetly…
Now, back to the original tweet. Yes you can be lazy and stuff, it’s your life and your decisions. BUT don’t go on social media and whine about it trying to play a victim and influence others. That’s just some ill mentalities.😅
that’s an amazing story man. awkward would be proud if he sees this
Good for you man
115 pounds 6’1? Gah damn that’s skinny. And btw i think your English is better than mine and I am a native speaker.
@@maizenn925Ty hhhhh tying my best here.😊
Woaaah!!!! Great job! ❤
In the words of David Goggins, “If someone calls you fat, they may be bullying you but you might be fucking fat. Someone calls you dumb, it’s mean but you might be fucking dumb. It’s life man. Take it for what it’s worth and change it”

@@nooptiui calling them fat for no reason other than to bring them down. What’s not clicking?
As a medical doctor who enjoys playing overwatch in my free time, I couldn't agree with you more. The truth can hurt, but many people want only affirmation, not honest advice. Awkward is spitting truth bombs here trying to show the importance of balance in life for both physical and mental health, but many people disagree purely out of desire to appear morally superior without realizing they are actually encouraging someone's physical and mental deterioration.
Never seen such a perfect comment
Nailed it
I am a medical student and I agree with your statement, however I feel that this whole situation has been blown way out of proportion. While there may be some who don't like Awkward's method of coaching/motivation I think that there are a good number of people who have no issue with it at all but still disagree with how he replied to Questron. I am one of those people, I have played OW since 2016 and I have competed in OD and enjoy competitive play very much. I have no problem with what Awkward is attempting to teach. However, I think we are all capable of being wrong sometimes and taking things beyond the point; such as calling someone fat. Sure, say they are Lazy, but what does being fat have anything to do with this. Now I know what you are going to say, but think about it. You don't know his medical history or anything more about him apart from what he said. And while Questron may have put that out into the world for everyone to see and judge like yourself, Awkward is doing the same. So even stating that is pointless. What I am mainly trying to say here is that Awkward is not wrong for wanting to motivate people in his own way and if I am being honest he does a great job at it. Regardless, talking down to someone is not the same as motivating them and Awkward may say he doesn't care what people think/say about him and yet his whole career depends on it. So, maybe we don't talk down to people we are trying to help and perhaps motivate them, not by holding back the truth, but by being respectful while being truthful. I would never tell my patient they are fat to help them lose wait nor would I lie to them. I would find a way to meet them where they are at becasue you simply cannot force people to do anything. If you are serious about helping them then you take the steps needed to get them there and help make them stronger. There is just no need for disrespect even if it involves a truth. That is why motivation is a skill and coaching is an art. You can't just say whatever you want and expect anyone to listen.
@thedoctor9027 Even if he is fat for medical reasons those still have medical solutions don't they?
As medical professionals we should understand that, even though awkward’s point is correct, shit talking someone isn’t the best way to provide then health education and promote lifestyle changes. If an obese patient walks into your office, will you just call them lazy and tell them to keep their mouths closed and stop eating? Or will you actually help them by educating them on a healthier lifestyle, forward them to a nutritionist and, if the indication exists, prescribe obesity medication and metabolic surgery? If someone like awkward treats them like he did, whatever, he is not a health professional. Us, however, as doctors, should know better.
I wish i had a friend that would hold me this accountable.
honestly wouold make me a better person fr
Wanna be friends gang
You don’t need a friend. Shape your mind to be critical about yourself in a honestly brutal light and be open minded to others opinions
same. maybe we should all create a discord gc 😂
its all about balance. I have some friends who are like this and its good and has helped me improve myself. But life is for living and these people aren’t always fun to be around.
Bro decided to vent publicly, so he got a public response. Lot of people saying Awkward should've DM'd him but no, the stupidly was thrown out on a public forum and everyone who read and bought it needed the same taste of reality.
He vented about streaming, responding to him about that is fine. It's just calling him fat and unshaven just came out of nowhere, it wasn't really relevant to the conversation and just came across as trying to insult him, not trying to "help".
@@lukasg4807he absolutely did not just "vent about streaming". He poised himself as a victim of his own grind and how it has precluded him from participating in other aspects of normal life. When called out, he even doubles down. He needed a taste of reality to recognize he has forgotten the fundamentals for a healthy lifestyle. Family, friends and fitness are building blocks for mental health.
If you are overweight by choice (ie not dealing with a serious medical issue or a child at their parents' will of poor nutrition), then you are telling the world you don't respect yourself. The same goes for people who seek out sympathy.
It was completely relevant. The only problem is that Akward approached this like a man and wants to solve his issue while everyone else wants to be whiny little girls that just want to vent their problems and have everyone affirm their terrible choices- cause they're fat and lazy and don't wanna change.
@stevent2671 his complaints were dumb af, not being able to socialize etc. is solely on him, and the tweet was kind of dumb, but that's not the point. His haircut and weight are a completely different topic (plus is he even fat? I couldn't find that good of pictures of him but he looked normal weight). The way awkward said it it was just straight up an insult that came out of nowhere. It's not like he told him that working out helps a lot with your mental, he basically told him "you're fat plus your cut sucks, L+Ratio".
@@lukasg4807 I think we pretty much agree except the part about it coming out of nowhere. Contextually, Questron decided to double down and claim he wasn't lazy in response to the first tweet. Awkward's last line was him giving two extra, objective examples as more prove he is lazy - ones that he couldn't deny like the first.
Now, I wouldn't have phrased it the exact same way just to be clear. But I can't fault Awkward here because everyone else is misrepresenting what he said. You made a great point, I don't know if he is fat either. Awkward didn't call him fat in the tweet. My take is that everyone wants to ignore and overlook the truth of what he said by blowing his minor criticisms out of proportion.
@@stevent2671 Yeah I agree for the most part, just really think it's not unfair to criticize awkward for lacking any tact at all, when bringing up someone's appearance to not make it look like a personal attack.
I live in the netherlands just like him. On the day you streamed this, I went to watch him for the first time. And he was saying he won't go to gym, because of the weather and makes him to dress and undress, so his argument was: "I dOnT wAnT tO dReSs aNd uNdResS".
Buddy, I live here too and weather SUCKS. At the end of the day I get out of the house and do what I have to do.
I didn't heard that haha that's so funny
also netherlands here. I just hop on a bike or go for a walk. Yes, also in the winter, and I got awesome pictures of me walking on a few cm of ice in a flooded forest (so it flooded and then froze!) and I had great fun jumping on it until it broke. It was only maybe 5 - 10cm high and I had boots, so no danger, only fun!
Then I went straight back to playing games.
A Dutch person who can't handle a bit of rain needs his citizenship taken away
I refuse to even watch his streams just because this is exactly what he wants. Hoping people would feel sorry for him and have a look and then hoping they would stay. I don't have time for weak lazy people.
do you know the history the netherlands
Overwatch players when you need balance in life 😱😱😱
so hot
I am obese and I've definitely become lazy. TBF, I crushed my spine and I never properly recovered but that doesn't negate the fact that there were ways I could have improved my health that I failed to pursue. A few years ago I started tracking my medical datapoints with the goal of just making those better and I have. It's been 2 years and I'm down from 420 to about 350, its slow as @#!$ but I take comfort that it's going down vs up.
Keep pushing king!❤
thats not slow, thats actually decently fast, given your spinal restrictions. keep up the good work!
i was pumping iron in my postgrad years and fucked my back in one session, i just focus now on my diet and do some martial arts but there is always a way unless youve paralyzed yourself
@@Stanky_Foot My buddy recommended I get an adjustable bed with lumbar support built in. Expensive but changed my life once I dialed in the settings for my needs. I've been able to put socks/shoes on and walk to the bathroom whenever I want every single day since. Didn't get rid of the pain but it went from debilitating to just shitty.

GF GF, btw LOOK im so amazing, i love bragging, over and over nonstop, its such a good character trait, im not delusional, look im amazing loooook"
@@ImDrizzt even if all that you just said about awkward as a person is true, what he specifically said about isn't wrong. If something isn't working for that long you have to look inward to some degree and change something. Like doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different resulting isn't grinding, that's insane. Grinding is doing the samething over and over with *intention*. Not hoping to get a lucky break somewhere.
@@ImDrizzt do something with your life
@@ImDrizztfatty
It's sad that people don't see your good intention just because you're harsh. Function over form.
What's even sadder is him being so direct to someone from the Netherlands and he got offended. Dutch people are like the most direct people so if he went outside from time to time he'd get used to it
it is very amusing watching a bunch of people who have never had a real job talk about how having a real job is not as hard as the dream job they've stumbled into
I gotta thank u Awkward cause you made me open my eyes to actually see with a clear perspective about my current situation, i'm trying to get better everyday and i know i'll be and will achieve all my goals by the end of this year
The thing that doesn’t make sense is that as a streamer, you have pretty good control over your own working conditions. Acting as if you are forced into what you’re doing is so fake. Nobody said that there aren’t hard parts of streaming, but you can manage them and counterbalance them if you put time and effort into it. If you aren’t enjoying what you’re doing as a streamer, you have a lot of flexibility in how you can change that reality. Other jobs don’t have that, so complaining is a valid outlet. But when you could just fix the problem yourself, it comes across as a disingenuous complaint.
Words can be very harsh, but only smart people can understand what is right in them.
What you're saying is all true but I think you're making this more about yourself than him. His point was "I'm lonely, man I'm not sure if this work and commitment has been worth it." And your response is essentially, "You suck, and let's all learn a lesson at your expense." Eventually this kind of thing is going to come back and bite you in the ass.
Awkward. You are a breath of fresh air. And probably the only reason i came back to overwatch. Keep delivering the message People need to hear this shit!
im agreeing with awkward here but im not agreeing with how he said it and how he commented about his appearance it was so unnecessary
literally same
You clearly didnt watch the whole video
19:20 I don't think you understood
To everyone who disagrees with this, phrasing it differently makes all the difference. He basically laid out a solid game plan that would really help him out, but no one wants to hear it because of how he said it... he even says this in the video yet somehow it doesn't click.
Aweeee oh noooooo did it hurt his little feelings 😭😭😭 … womp womp skill issue tbh
Why in your life did you never want a 9-5? It's because it sucks and it's not fun. He should take up a 9-5 and see how it is. He will soon realize how privileged and fortunate people are who create content for a living.
u realize anyone can make content right?
@@ChrisGotHeat23 U realize not everyone has the same level of creativity, originality and content worth watching right?
@@Ron742_ Even then, there is a substantial amount of luck when it comes to getting people to watch your content. I'd argue creativity, originality, and skill don't matter nearly as much as a bit of luck and abusing how the algorithm. Most people who find a way to get a viewership don't necessarily have unique content.
u dont even need creativitity or originiality, in fact there are no more original ideas anymore creativity is just finding things that dont belong together and linking them somehow. for example i've grown 4+ tik tok pages that are faceless to over 10k followers and all i did was copy what other succesful people did and i make more money than ever.
@@Ron742_
Let's not forget 9-5 is a lot more privileged than a lot of blue collar work and labor jobs too

@@Gojo10110fr
This was such a journey to digest. At the core of it, you’re right; he’s suffering from self inflicted wounds and prolonging (arguably worsening) these wounds with a reflex to soothe, and the community is echoing the sentiment. By virtue of how Overwatch was dreamed up and the era in which it was created, it has a player base that skews to this type of behavior. It’s practically a staple of their behavior and identities.
With that said, there are more important things than being right. In the grand scheme of things, being right has very little value. Especially when one rides a bit high on the presumption of superiority that is the dopamine rush of being “right” and overextends. Here you engage in what can be generously described as superficial psychoanalysis based on a someone’s internet presence, their physical appearance and your own personal life experience. To someone with more life experience and a matching IQ, your approach to this betrays the contours of your adversities while your defensive posture betrays deep insecurities of your own. That while not currently on the surface, will always lie in waiting for a moment of sufficient weakness. Working out IS lazy for you. Having a girlfriend, friends, attention, IS lazy for you. This video is lazy for you. This take is lazy for you. Ironically, a more mature, meaningful, community building approach that EFFECTIVELY (keyword) adds value would have been you leaving your comfort zone. AND it’s so much easier than the tasks you’re projecting onto him from a place of ignorance.
I don’t have any doubts as to why this situation is alienating you from the greater overwatch community.
But I understand that you don’t actually care about the community in that sense and it’s just a fortunate conduit for living life. (which is sane imo). The problem with riding high like this is that the fall is much harder. And while it might seem like you’re so special you’re irreplaceable, you can be certain that isn’t so. Grace in all things. That’s how you truly add value. Don’t wait till you have children to learn that lesson and look back in shame. Take that from someone who’s been there. And mine weren’t recorded, so I am lucky. See you next time.
well said
Somehow I'm sure that awkward is one of the few OW streamers that will be just fine in the real world.
Toxic masculinity and ignorance at play here. Best comment. More insightful, more efficiently communicated, than his 'drama'tic, lengthy, entertaining (he know what he's milking, as he says) rant.
Grace - What a religious word to end on.
"'Cause I know I'm addicted to your drama. Baby, here we go again" 🤪hahahahaha
Friends tell you you're perfect and you're great. True friends hold you accountable for what you do. If you disagree with this then reevaluate your "true" friends.

I just got into overwatch more about a month ago. Before that I occasionally played with friends but was probably like silver level, just playing casually. I stumbled upon ur content as I started taking overwatch more seriously, and this season I’ve already gotten to my peak of plat 2 still climbing on zenyatta with a 66% winrate.so far. You always speak facts 100% of the time. And you don’t give a shit what people think. I respect the hell out of that. Definitely the right guy to be watching for overwatch and life advice, keep it up!!
I'm glad I've found your channel! Even after I stopped playing overwatch, the lessons I've learned from your streams have kept helping me.
I'm so glad Awkward doesn't fold to the overly sensitive crowd.
same, the twitter hivemind just defaults to defending questron with no real outside experience, its like they live in their own little realities.
True, it's rarely valued nowadays to just say the truth regardless of how people respond to it. Responses don't matter as much as reality.
Fold? Over what? Attacking someone's appearance on the internet? LMAO, that's like the internet in general.
@@P-39_AiracobraYou are gonna take that mentality out into the real world and get shot over a small comment. People need to learn when to just shut the fűk up. People are crazy and will hurt you or hurt themselves.

Better than getting your OW account suspended over and over again for no reason

You don’t need to defend people for speaking truth, the people upset are lazy,fat,queer,useless activists etc.
Degenerates of society always get upset when you shine a light on them.
I came back to this video to let you know that I haven't worked out in a few months and I've felt guilty because of it. This video instantly got me off my ass and work out today.

To be honest, I don't like watching long videos on TH-cam, but watching Awkward makes time fly so quickly man, and he's so real too.
this man Awkward is legit wise beyond his years. you dont see other OW streamers this passionate about LIFE and improvement, mad respect my guy.
i wish i had a friend like awkward irl
there is people breaking their backs building house, paving roads, jackhammering the streets. Even those people don't complain because they know there are harder jobs. Society has gotten soft man is complaining about a dream job people would kill for smh.
My origin is Cambodia and I think its disgusting how Questron thinks his life is so hard lmfao. My people back in Cambodia struggle in different shapes and form. The monthly salary is dog shit over there but the quality of life is still somewhat positive because its the community that keeps everyone up and going. I can go on about how much more trash many lives in 3rd world countries are and Questron's life will always be on top versus them and that says something.
Amazing video brother. Couldnt agree more.
When I was younger and first started playing Overwatch I wasnt very social and also extremely unfit. Gaming was pretty much my whole life and what I remember most vivibly was how much I hated loosing games.
Now after having lost weight, started going to the gym, worked on myself, become way more social I realized how much more fun playing video games is.
Most of the time I play with my IRL friends and tbh any game is fun as fuck in you have a few good friends to play with.
And while yes, nobody likes loosing games we really dont care anymore. When I go on a loosing streak i dont think about it and go outside/work/go to the gym.
Looking good, being social and living life makes playing video games so much more fun in my experience because its just a little part of your whole life.
On another note, youre a great guy and I really love watching your videos. Its great to see someone like you with similar thoughts etc. also enjoy things like Overwatch.
Hope you make it big man 🫡
Once again, I admire your brutal honesty. People need more of it so they can get a wakeup call sooner or later.
"Just because I say it harshly doesn't make it less true. It doesn't matter."
I watched the whole video before writing this response. I think the part you're still not understanding is that your delivery of this message IS the problem. It's pretty clear that from your perspective, the truth matters more than how you say it, so it doesn't make a difference whether you are kind or an asshole about it. Yes, there were countless twitter users blindly jumping to Questron's defense and telling him to keep doing what he's doing, but if you paid attention to the people who took the time to craft intelligent responses, you'll notice that most of them actually agree with your point. The only difference is they realize that *how* you say something does matter.
You even acknowledge this point when you say,
"You agree with me when I say things nice, but when I say things as they are, which could be a little bit more mean by your own standards, now you disagree with me. It's the same sentence just phrased differently. But it doesn't take away from the truth."
Yes, it doesn't take away from the truth, but instead of acting like a concerned friend, you're giving the impression of a bully. There needs to be some level of trust between two people for brutal honesty to actually sound like you care about them. You mention, "a good friend would tell you that you're doing something wrong", which is true, and this works because deep down you know that a good friend has your best interests at heart. This doesn't work with someone you don't trust. Vehemently disagreeing with Questron when he says streaming is a hard job is valid, but people took issue with you because your brutal honesty about his physical appearance came out of nowhere, and it looked like you were just adding an insult on top of your argument because you could.
Since you don't already have a friendship with Questron that involves trust, you HAVE to be more tactful about the way you address the harsh truth if you don't want to come across as an asshole.
awkward tries to claim that he says all this with the intention of helping, yet people are telling him over and over that it's not helpful the way he goes about it. He doesn't care about trying to phrase things in a way that will actually help, he just wants to be right. he responds to every argument with "im right though, it's facts." If he wanted to help he'd listen to the countless people who are telling him how to say it in a way that will actually help.
If you care more about how a thing is phrased than the actual message then you don't actually care. You just want to be offended. The real world doesn't give a shit about your feelings. If a random person on the street calls you fat and lazy are you just going to go home and cry about it? He went on the internet and cried about his situation for pity points and got called out. In my opinion he deserved worse for trying to get sympathy in such a pathetic way for his own life choices.
@@dash4800 , "If you care more about how a thing is phrased than the actual message then you don't actually care."
That is a strawman fallacy... no one is saying this. The core issue here is STRATEGY. Either the tactics you use get the intended results, or it is poor strategy... period. It doesn't matter what you have to say, HOW you come at people either makes them more receptive to your message or causes them to immediately become defensive. This is basic psychology not rocket science.
Nah, youre still missing the point and want the truth blunted in order for it to be "nice"
If a random person on the street calls you fat and lazy, is your first reaction going to be, "hey he's got a point"? No, it'll probably be "what a dick". Regardless of what you claim, there's nothing wrong with taking offense to something that IS offensive. @@dash4800
You can recognize that someone's situation is a result of their own choices, and you can even tell them it's so, but being brutally honest to someone you've never met doesn't mean you care; you're just being a dick because you're lazy and it's the easy response. The harder response is one that shows tact and empathy for the other person.

Wise beyond your years. I like how bold you are on emphasizing non-laziness, and taking accountability of your life. Especially for a population of people where this advice would make the biggest impact
I like this video and how you addressed the criticisms that you got, people have their own points of view and it is important to understand them. The best thing to do instead of picking a side sometimes is to understand both sides and just learn from what happened and make this part of our experiences.
Let's be honest, In a few days we will all forget about what happened and go on with our lives, heck, maybe in some universe Awkward and Questron may one day reconcile and be on good terms. But then again, I could be 100% wrong in my take and that is fine because I will still learn and grow from this experience.
:D
i dont necessarily agree that it's useful to personally insult people to prove a point, (we don't know what someone like questron is going through - and in fact he sounds very frustrated and sad to some extent and probably needs compassion more than hate - it is provably true that positivity brings changes quicker than negativity) but I strongly agree with the notion of taking personal responsibility for your failures and shortcomings and avoiding blaming everyone else when something you chose to do isn't working the way you wanted it to
What I learned from this is the truth can be said nicely or not so nicely, but it's still the truth
Yes but it’s called tact. Brutal honesty is needlessly brutal. If you’re a brutally honest asshole, you’re still an asshole.
I’m not exactly out of shape but this video motivated me to keep working to better myself.
Life’s been a slow roll lately, I’m glad there are people like this to remind you of the important things
The deeper I go into the drama, the more I realize how many average people and ow streamers are disillusioned with reality.
The fact of the matter is, that a streaming career bleeds comfort and complacency if left unchecked. All Questron knows of reality is what is in front of his monitors, and it’s genuinely sad. But it is the flexible nature of streaming that can also be the answer to *MANY* of his problems. The kind of job flexibility many could only wish for.
To the men and women out there that work blue and white collar jobs (including myself), I’ve lost all respect for streamers that claim such a ridiculous comparison.
Completely agree with you man, I don’t really watch streamers but I enjoy awkwards videos. The more I learn about this the more I think these people are weak and never worked a real job for longer than a year
nothing bruh said in this video was wrong ...
I agree, but I also think it is poor strategy. Either your tactics have the intended results, or it is poor strategy... period.
Bro woke up and decided to cook😮💨
Most of the things you're saying is right. Hope these people can just shake hands and we can all get back to getting into S9 playstyle
This video reminds me why i subscribed to you. You tell people like it is without any sugarcoated bullshit sprinkled in.
real interent is so soft now
As much as I love Questron and his streams, my guy, those are problems you could easily fix. You just have to put in the effort.
Only way to watch his streams is to keep it muted.
Wouldn't content creators by themselves consider lazy if they are basically sitting at home. Editing a few videos and post? With AC, no schedule work time (they basically make their own) and play video games? While people out there as he said that work on sewers, maybe construction people have to work in the heat? Just a thought
Some people can’t take the harsh truth
god i love the echo chamber here
lol
they say he's ow's andrew tate for a reason 💀💀
real
Awkward what you were saying was true. But the way you said it was wrong.

@@Supremesayain99 the reality is you help someone by helping them. Ask how can I help. let's go gym let's do this.
@@callumtorrance9180 What?
@@callumtorrance9180it’s better for them to realize these internal things without external help imo. the one that says let’s go to the gym is you
@@GEBULSHED what's wrong with saying hey I'm going gym. Wanna come join me
Bro literally freestyled 45 min 🔥
Growing up being called fat is probably the nicest thing anyone said to me on a daily basis. This generation is just soft.
Thanks.
The "fat" and "barber" comments were a reach, but I agree with the rest of the points you made. What an odd thing to do; whine to the Internet about how hard your gaming job is. Most people don't like their job. You could be shoveling shit on a farm lol.
Key takeaways from this video:
1) Being resistant to change when something isn't working in your life makes you lazy and comfortable.
2) Being rude to someone about a fact is harsh but reality is harsher.
3) Don't take people opinions literally , their positivity/negativity is more of a reflection of themselves.
4) Start exercising and stop being out of shape/fat to improve your mental/physical health.
5) People's words can be loud but their actions are louder. This will help you rule out hypocrisy.
6) Take care of your face hygiene.
7) And last of all , be a man that brings value to the table for any person/matter.
Awkward is spot on man. Real af.
There is a thing called “tact” which he seems to be lacking. We are all humans with emotions after all and we are not robots. You can’t just speak to people in a “brutally honest” fashion just because it’s true and you think you’re helping them. A lot of people are fat because they are depressed and you should respect that and not make it worse just by calling them out and actually making them feel worse about it. You are actively doing damage instead of helping. And you can disagree with that but it is factual just like the sky is blue.
A lot of people are not fat because they are depressed. They are depressed because they are fat.
A healthy body and a healthy mind are correlated.
@@Awkward2 they are correlated but it doesn’t change the fact that where they are in their current situation is not a healthy state of mind so some tact can go a long way. Just show some compassion, don’t be brutally honest. Be respectful. Be helpful.
@@corynovaria4663While I see your point, he's been doing this for four years, clearly something has to be done.
@@Awkward2it has been proven that fat shaming only makes the problem *worse*. bullying people the way you do isn’t likely to motivate them to change, but you don’t care. if you actually wanted people to get fit, you’d approach the situation differently. instead you are an attention seeker and want to feel better about yourself, so you bully people with your unwanted opinion.
@@Awkward2 , the core of the critique against you is one of STRATEGY. That much is valid. Either the tactics get the intended results or it is poor strategy... period. If you learn how to be tactful, you can tell people things they DON'T want to hear, and not only will they not hate you for it, they will be far more receptive. If you focus on being polite and respectful, when you tell people you are giving them tough love, they will know it comes from a place of love. Say whatever you want; just know that HOW you go about doing that either makes people more receptive or makes them instantly defensive. This is basic human psychology, not rocket science. Brutal honesty only works if the person has humility and is in a good place mentally... most people are not.
the audacity to call content lazy when all you do is smurf in lower ranks and call it "educational" to get away with it
Listening to this while at the gym is a fucking vibe, I tell you
Awkward, you speak with wisdom and always encourage growth. Much respect.
Common awkward W. It’s so hard finding a streamer that has a similar mindset to me or the average person.
I admire Awkward as a streamer, a content creator and a human being. This guy just preaches the truth. Take what he says to heart and mind. It will help your life one way or another.
Love your content and the real talk nice change of pace from off the wall takes
truly inspiring, gotta love the self-esteem, how you stick to sth you really believe in and you're strict with it. keep up the good work awkward. God bliss you.
This video gonna annoy so many people lmao
Already did. People can't face the reality and want everything to be sugarcoated.
I dont think i have ever seen anyone so narcissistic 😂
There are many ways of telling someone the 'harsh truth'. Could Awkward have delivered it in a nicer way to make it not mean? I'm sure he could've lol. But at the end of the day people have their own 'ways' of telling people how it is. Sometimes delivering it in a very harsh way is the only way people can actually wake up and do something about it. Not everyone agrees with that take and that's fine but it's hardly narcissistic to try and tell someone the 'harsh truth'.
As far as I'm aware, the other guy didn't ask for his opinion? Even if he did, he doesn't get the right to hurt people because he doesn't like their way of life/appearance. Helping people come from compassion and love. Awkward is kicking people when they are down and pretend he is trying to help, because he has a massive ego and thinks he is better than everyone else. Massive Tate wannabe.
As someone who previously was lazy and in need of a reality check, I agree with your points. Stop being a victim and hoping for the best, change something, be proactive, become a boss of your life. Step by step.
That guy is stuck in Bronze Streaming rank for 4 years
Pretty cool how your competitive gaming mindset that led you to the top is the same philosophy giving you this insight and logic for personal development. It's very refreshing seeing a gaming streamer have this much positive influence. No offense but most gaming streamers do nothing but play and react dramatically it literally deteriorates viewer's brain
This video prob hit different for flats lol
fats
I get your point, you consider brutal honesty as most important which I can respect. However, if the MAJORITY of streamers are critiquing your delivery and MISSING your point, you did it wrong.
If you find that people often misinterpret you despite your good intentions, train on your emotional intelligence to give better coaching and advice.
I genuinely love this comment section and that people seem to be allergic to honesty and accountability (with ones self) cause it means we're winning and you're losing but it would be so so much better if you'd be real with yourself too and own your shit and get to fixing it, so we can all win. People really say calling someone on their shit is an insult and 'manosphere' stuff instead of a gift to start evaluating and reflecting to see if MAYBE ITS VALID? Cause if it wouldnt be you shouldnt care, but you obv do? come on now... depressed or not accountable? This generation doesnt even know of actual depression smh
I love how awkward supports by using damage irl
I hope the next unranked to GM is Sombra 😂
This please 🙏
As a grown man who has fluctuated weight wise, been in and out of shape, and played too much video games, I agree with you completely. You are wise, and you are right they dont care about him, and yet are all too happy to grab pitchforks. Cant believe I listened to this whole rant, but it was pretty good. Reality checks are needed, no need to get to "intervention" level before acting.
They are so driven by profit they don't even like streaming but still do it anyways lmao
comments aint gonna look to good on this one 😭
As you can see I already have a pack of tissues.
@@Awkward2 Can't wait for streamers to reply to this video
Too
@@adityagole9087can't wait for flats to react to this video and start insulting him
@@jyhmz Flats would cry hardd xddd
Welp that's the ow community for you.
Obese men LMFAO
(the caps are not yelling, they are to indicate what I want to emphasize)
In my opinion, it is a better idea to HAVE A TALK with the people that think you are wrong and try to convince them you are right, instead of TELLING your viewers about how you are right. I think both you and the other streamers would get more value out of a dialogue, than out of a few separated monologues., and it would be more fair for both sides.
In short, I think you should talk it out with them.
^
my opinion
Best roast of all time ngl
I understand that you're looking to help him, and that everything you're saying is true, but brutal honesty isn't always the best way. you can be honest and helpful without the brutality of it, and generally, its more effective that way. I agree that questron could be allocating time into other types of content. he's putting so much effort into the animations when he knows they're not going to do well, which is just a mistake. but to go as far as you did for the sake of being helpful isn't appropriate or helpful. delivery is everything.
Yall acting like he came to his house and spat in his face lmao, world ain’t sunshine and rainbows bruh if he can’t take harsh criticism then don’t be in the industry
@@virzohd well yes, questron should be able to handle pretty harsh criticism but unnecessarily harsh criticism for the sake of being harsh isn't good either. awkward could have said everything he wanted to with much more effectiveness by simply not being mean.
@@virzohd I guarantee if you complained about your work and then someone chimed in and said you're lazy, your work is shit, and also you're fat and ugly you wouldn't be saying "oh thanks for harsh criticism bro I didn't consider that". Awkward is an idiot pandering to edgy teens
@@joshdeconcentrated2674 if you watched the video he described exactly what you said either way you look at it, it’s still being lazy
OMG ya'll are so soft, "you can be honest and helpful without the brutality of it". what brutality, the worst he said is that he is lazy, if that's brutality to you, i don't even know how you get on the internet without crying everyday.
I want to shoot in with a point I think is extremely important and I am fairly confident you got wrong.
You should look this up to not take my word for it, but positive reinforcement is WAY more effective in encouraging people than negative. There's lots of anecdotal stories about being bullied into working out, but the truth of the matter is that "tough love" is ineffective at best, and hurtful at worst.
You hit the nail on the head about his comfort zone. When it comes to depression, its a viscous cycle. But just like Questron, you have chosen what you do with your energy. Hitting the gym has become your comfort zone. And it's exactly like you say, its a lazy day for you. His choices has started him on this cycle and getting out is not even close to an easy feat.
I think his struggles are valid. Being active has the benefit of giving you more energy and motivation. You underestimate how hard simple tasks can be for someone who is inactive. So, instead of yapping silly and unhelpful "just do it, you lazy bum" advice, you can give him strength by being positive and empathetic. You know what else drains you of all motivation and energy? Negativity
Good points, tbh.
i swear this is the only likeable ow streamer
KarQ is likable enough. Flats is alright. Sure Flats doesn’t agree with Awkward but that doesn’t make him unlikable.
the things you said in this video I feel are going to help me in the long run. I'm a streamer that struggles with staying consistent and does not do all I can for myself which leads to days of unhygienic practice and lack of work ethic/discipline
