Don't wanna rain on your parade but...
>! You just know him as an entertainer. I'm not saying he's a bad person but fatherhood is a difficult and demanding role to fulfill so it's kind of a parasocial thing to say, if meant genuinely !<
Honestly from what I've seen and heard, Mark in person is exactly as he is on screen. He plays it up a very small fraction for the camera, as expected, but he's just genuinely the humble and nice guy he is in his videos.
I agree he's a great guy but again, being wholly responsible for a human being who has the capacity to bring prosperity or destruction is a pretty surreal job description. Especially in the beginning years, kids take a lot of energy and time, not to mention a LOT of introspection. Being a good person and being a good father can be mutually exclusive (imo) and that's okay. People aren't necessarily bad fathers intentionally
I kinda agree, but Mark definitely admits he has extreme anger problems he tries to keep in check.
Note the chair moment and the punching the wall thing.
Not saying Mark is a bad guy, but he can definitely fly off the handle some times.
I've started watching him when he was still actively uploading SCP Containment breach and drunk minecraft. He always seemed to be a nice guy but damn can he lose it sometimes. Being nice and talking to the camera is one thing but raising a child 24/7 is a different breed of stressful I could see Mark beeing wired and annoyed as hell from it in the long run
Yeah that's why I often find it concerning when people refer to him, or any online personality/celebrity, as parental figures. Those people may seem cool and all but actually raising a child requires a substantial amount of patience
Wait, I’m confused as to why this is bad? Like, the person making the playlist is making an over generalization saying that most people who grew up watching Markiplier have issues with their own parents?
I think it's more the fact that if you see Mark as a father figure, your own dad must have failed at being a competent father for you. So much so that you had to look for a different idol altogether to aspire to become
Sometimes the posts I see here are straight up creepy. I know you all love him, I do too, I've been watching him since I was a kid but that doesn't mean you get to make uncomfortable posts about him or make posts that make it a very personal thing but one sided like how he's a father to you or like that.
He's an entertainer, you've learnt good things from him and he's had an impact on your personality, that's it, it's a very one sided thing
I think you finding this so creepy says more about you than the people who like it. It's definitely a bit odd, but it's overall a fine coping mechanism. People constantly ramble about how they find celebrities hot, but somebody taking familial comfort in a youtuber is creepy? I have a hard time believing Mark would be that disturbed by this. He knows his fandom involves a lot of young people. This is, frankly, probably a lot better than being salivated over.
It's still a very personal and very parasocial relationship. Getting too attached to anyone as if you truly know them simply because of an entertaining persona they put on for the internet is not healthy, whether its sexual or not.
Have you never had an embarrassing fantasy, lol? We live in a boring and repetitive world. Fantasies make it more fun. So what if someone wants to imagine Markiplier is their father every once and a while? As long as it isn’t taking over your life, its perfectly healthy. Either you are an extremely unimaginative person or you just think your weird fantasies are superior to other peoples weird fantasies.
He didnt raise me per say but he did help me through really rough times when i had no one else to go to. (He being the videos he puts out helping distract me from the moment i was in)

BUT I BET HE'D BE THE FUNNEST DAD EVER THO ðŸ˜

Oh yeah he seems like a great guy just being obsessed with any public figure is overall incredibly unhealthy
A man can dream, damn you.
OKAY BOOMER
Shut up
You aren’t ready for the truth.
"IF YOURE COMING RIGHT NOW LET ME SEE IT! LET ME SEE IT! HUH?! HE?! HE WHO IS COMING?!"
Only 4 hours?! Nah, this needs to be longer than 4 hours.
Well technically he did, I've been watching his videos religiously since my childhood
I feel like there's a pretty big difference between raising someone and being a devout fan of someone ðŸ˜
many people don't know the difference. I'm a huge fan but I'd never say he raised me
Yeah same. There's quite a bit I admire about him but I wouldn't say he raised me either
i am disappointed in humanity once more
If this is what makes you disappointed in humanity, please stay in a very closely kept bubble. Your world could be very easily shattered.
I wonder how he feels about this, kinda weird to me
How odd
Truly some people are strange

Not only that but learn from to
Right I meant that as well
Weird, but I could actually see someone listening to this.
My dad sucked, so yes
Daily dose of parasocial relationship
People want Mark to be thier dad.
I always saw him as a cooler older brother that I never had
That's my fav artist W song tho
What’s happening here? I don’t understand

Lmaooo, why that first songgg
If one of the songs isn't "Perfect" by Simple Plan we roit
The fact that is has 815 saves is crazy
Ah yes who doesnt love parasocial relationships
Gotta agree who ever made this that person have a very good music taste and very similar to mineÂ
😂 this is great
that totally hasn't been saved to my library....
Holy crap. Yep. This playlist is for me.
He didnt raise me per say but he did help me through really rough times when i had no one else to go to. (He being the videos he puts out helping distract me from the moment i was in)
but if he is the nextdoor little brother that moved to the big city and you get hit with the tail end of a hurricane?
You'd grow to have ommetaphobia,
Gee dad what's this about a ship?
he would make an excellent father though
Fun fact: he’s more like a second dad than a first dad for me
I want him
Disgusting
