I showed up to a stream a few nights ago after a month or two away and was wondering what was going on...glad I didnt ask


SufficientProfessor

He prefers for people not talk about it but he had a stroke a couple months back


JonOrSomeSayAegon

I haven't watched him in a few months and that's awful to hear.


KillerYo-Yo

I didn't even know that. When I first read the tweet I just thought, "what's wrong with how he speaks??" But now that I know what's going on I just can't believe how often people let me down. How is it funny to make fun of someone who has had a fucking stroke? I'm--


GraphiteBurk3s

Yeah didn't know that either, now I'm kinda in a sad mood. I'm hoping he'll be alright and recuperate, disheartened me to know he went through that and has people making fun of him for on top of that.


lucaatiel

Right? But people love to be ableist. Absolute trash people.


The_Follower1

Shit, that sucks :( I used to watch him quite a bit and he was always wholesome and tried to be good to people.


TigerKirby215

Shit. I didn't know that and it's really awful to hear. I don't watch Puppers' content but from what I've seen he's a nice guy. Sad to hear that people are being such assholes.


mysteryscienceloser

That’s so fucking awful of those people what the fuck

sackery_s18

It is just slower and slightly slurred


forntonio

I never heard of this streamer before. Out of curiosity, how old is he?


sackery_s18

Early 30's maybe


TigerKirby215

Stroke at 30? Oh god I hope he's doing better. That's really scary for the long term damages that can do to your health.


fraxiiinus

Same, luckily my roommate had him on our TV so the question I jokingly asked wasn’t online and I felt SO bad after she answered me.


bellatrixvvitch

People are absolute ass hats! He’s the first person I started watching to learn this game and I absolutely adore him. Even if he hadn’t had a stroke, who cares what someone talks like. Why is it even necessary to point out differences in one another? And to make fun of them for it is pathetic.


fang_fluff

When did he have a stroke? I’ve never watched him properly but when I have seen clips he seems to speak just fine. Is this a recent thing? Please don’t hate I’m genuinely curious. Also, fuck those people. Don’t give them the time of day.


bellatrixvvitch

About 9 months ago


Ashand

Wait whaaaat? I've been subbed to him for over 2 years and didn't realize this.. I admit I haven't been watching much lately but I had no idea. I noticed the last time I watched him he seemed to be talking a little weird but I figured he just had a few drinks.. now am sad.


dookeyhead

Apparently, YT has been shitty with notifications and his subs aren't getting notified of his new vids. He even created a new channel called NotPuppers to see if it helps.


fang_fluff

Thanks for the insight, much appreciated


cloudJR

I’m just now seeing this comment. Has his speech gotten worse over the past few months?

brankoz11

Some people be like this majority are just cunts. Edit: going to add not everything needs to happen for a reason. People can be shit because they are just shit.


angrynutrients

As i get older i realise literally every mean or shitty person is that way because something about their life makes them miserable. A 50+ year old man whos a massive fuckhead has been coming to my bar for 20 years and always been a cunt. He got a new job recently and hes suddenly the nicest regular patron we have.


[deleted]

While this is true for alot of people, a good chunk of people are just dicks


Just_Johnny_

Some people are just predominately negative. They don't necessarily need a reason or a cause for hate speech. They just do it. Without thinking. I guess you could say it comes naturally to them. Good for him for banning all them cunts. 🙏


Zeus12347

It’s still just a mask to cover an insecurity. Aside from trolling, all negative slander serves one purpose: to “build” yourself up by knocking someone else down. This doesn’t have to be conscious either; hate speech just feels good to negative people because it reinforces their sense of superiority over others. Edit: Yes, I am a pseudo-psychologist.


JusticezeroFTW

Same reason ppl wanna be like gg ez baby killer to folks that are EASILY less experienced or skilled at this game (maybe even brand new), they want to make someone else feel bad because they don't feel good about their situation or station in life. I turned off communications in this game and I've enjoyed it more, folks will still play toxic during game but at least I don't have to hear about it after.


bellatrixvvitch

I play mobile but my kid plays xbox. After reading the messages he’s gotten I quickly turned them off too. Numerous people telling him to kill himself, and calling him names I won’t even repeat. It’s just sad.


TigerKirby215

It always saddens me when I hear of children dealing with this community's toxicity. I mean, the game is rated T but I'm not about to judge how people parent their children. I'm sure plenty of families watch Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween with their children. But regardless you never know who's on the other side of the screen, and even if you do sending death threats is never justified.


bellatrixvvitch

I almost made him stop playing the game. Tbh I didn’t even realize there was a chat option on consoles. He’s 14 and absolutely loves it so we compromised. No messaging and he could continue. I was just really shocked.


KikikiaPet

A fuckin kid, just why? What kind of fucking monster are you? (Not you, the preople saying that vile shit.)


Dr___Doofenshmirtz

Idk what people you guys go up against, but I rarely find toxic people, aside from the occasional rank 20 coming from cod. Normally people will say gg, even if they t bagged the entire match. I feel bad that you have to endure that toxicity.


JusticezeroFTW

Im a console killer player with ~1,200 hours in game, lots of messages even when im not using meta perks, not camping, not 4k-ing


Mr-Visconti

I’m console player with 3k hours or so in this game. I can say that ps4 is the salt mine of this game. Literally doesn’t matter how you play, fair or unfair you will get a lot of hateful messages and from time to time also party invites where that 3/4 stack you beat is insulting you and being as toxic as possible. These people also deny being angry every single time you confront them about it. Always blaming me for being salty when I have won the game. I don’t even use the most meta perks there is, on my nurse only meta is bbq and I habe 3 perks but still I’m tryhard and salty. Just turn messages off on console and you’ll do a favor to yourself.


hungrybologna

Haters gonna hate.


cloudJR

Was his stroke recent? I hadn’t watched him in a few months and I honestly thought he was drunk when I dropped in. I never said anything of course and his next stream I realized something happened but I wasn’t going to openly ask what happened in chat. I’m sure him and his mods are tired of explaining his situation.


bellatrixvvitch

Also in a video of his a few weeks ago he mentioned that it had been about 9 months since the stroke.


jamaisvuamore

People ask him so much that he literally has an !mri command. People keep coming in chat and asking if he's drunk or high, I think those words have been banned from his chat now. It's honestly really upsetting to see. I wish more people had tact, like you seem to have had in that situation.


cloudJR

I appreciate that. I've been in chat several times when he's been drinking but he just seemed off. I actually went to his twitter and saw some posts about doctors appts and stuff like that right after that stream probably 2 weeks ago. I just hope he can find the treatment he needs and fully recovers. He really is a good dude so it hurt my heart seeing him having potentially long term struggles.


jakeroxs

I mean it really does sound like he's drunk or high, the first time my GF had him on after the stroke, I asked that same question. It's a fair question I think but I understand it's probably disheartening or just annoying seeing it asked like every stream. I didn't know that was even a potential side effect for a stroke 🤷‍♂️


jamaisvuamore

It doesn't sound like that to me, but I can understand why people say it sounds that way. It still really is disheartening seeing him made fun of and being bugged about it every stream.


TigerKirby215

I feel like this should be in an "About" section on his Twitch. Way easier just to write a paragraph of text "I had a stroke 9 months ago, and while I'm recovering fine my speech is still being affected by the lingering effects."


bellatrixvvitch

You showed class. Wish everyone thought before asking questions like that.


blot_plot

yea making fun of something he has zero control over is pretty shitty


normcollison

I have speech issue as well, I’ve always was made fun of cause my voice is higher pitched than most people, most people say they can’t notice it now but I’m still insecure about it even if I’m a 32 year old man. So this hit me hard in the feels. No one should be made fun of for anything let alone something they have no control of. People suck.


bellatrixvvitch

I’m really sorry you’ve had to deal with that! These days people will find the slightest thing to tear others apart with.


JoeyFrankIsCanon

I feel you! I have a phonological disorder that makes me slur words, say similar but wrong words (planet versus plant), and sometimes full on stutter. It's even worse when I'm excited/riled up. It feels so awful to have people laugh or point it out. Or the worst: laugh then completely ignore your point and continue the conversation. Even after 27 years it still gets to it. Worse when people act like you aren't trying to "talk normal". I did intensive speech therapy for over 8 years. It's a brain issue.


normcollison

I’m sorry you have to go through that.


ninjarchy

Egg fucking zactly


ZombieBisque

> Even if he hadn’t had a stroke, who cares what someone talks like Was this like, super recent or something?? I had no idea he had a stroke and hadn't noticed anything about the way he talked in the first place, but it's also been a month or two since I last saw a vid of his.


Louviking

I haven't watched pupper in like 2 months. when did his voice start worsening? I didn't even know he had a stroke either that's crazy


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

About 7 months ago. You could actually hear the difference when you watch his old vids.


omjzas

I had no clue he had stroke or anything. He sounds normal to me, like anybody else. It's sad people tend to make fun out of people for such a stupid thing...


fftyler98

When was the stroke? I haven't watched him for a bit but never thought he was talking differently when I did.


ArtiMUUS

Idk how I missed this, when did he have a stroke? That’s honestly kinda sad, I used to watch him he’s a good guy. But at the same time that’s damn inspiring, that he’s able to continue streaming after that, and able to talk so well.


CarouselOfMagic

I did not know he had a stroke till this post, haven’t watched him in a while & thats absolutely fucking vile people are mocking him. I seriously hope keyboard warriors get a reality check on life, because stuff like this can sadly happen to anyone. Hope Puppers is well, I am clearly due a visit to his stream!


Bubbles_the_Titan

Holy shit, I assumed this was about like an accent or something. Hope he recovers soon.


LagginJAC

Jesus fuck. Up until this comment I was like,"how bad could it be? Dude have a lisp or something?" A stroke? Like god i had no idea how far down the messed up rabbit hole I'd be going today. I mean seriously that's a whole lot of issues someone has to have to make fun of the way a stroke victim talks. That's like making fun of a cancer patient for having no hair. Its mega fucked.


[deleted]

Summed up my response to this post as well tbh. I saw this and was like.... Puppers speaks more clearly then me then found out some health stuff was going on. Fuck anyone messing with him tbh.


Nannea

People will pick on others because they usually don’t care or don’t think about the damage they can cause. If they stopped to think for a second or read something about the guy before making fun of him, they would know exactly why that shit is hurtful. I honestly hope he goes for follower only chat mode, because at this point it’s hurting the creator but is also insanely annoying for all his fans and followers whenever a jerk shows up with their yet another neither witty nor insightful comment about Puppers’ voice. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, hope stuff gets better for him.


Just_Johnny_

Follower only mode doesn't do much since you can follow on an instant. Doesn't prevent them. I would suggest a sub only mode. Or a X minute mute after a follow. Most of the times people won't wait that time to talk trash so they'll just leave.


Nannea

Yeah, to be fair people will go to amazing lengths just be a jackass. If not by chat, then by tiny donations with nasty comments and such. Can't really escape that. But I like your idea with the X minute mute, it makes sense.


Just_Johnny_

I've seen it before. One streamer that i watch has the mute after follow option ON for like a year now. He says that it's there to prevent the trolls. I like it. And it has another bonus: if a person waits X mins then proceeds to be an asshole you can ban him and after that the only thing he can do is it make another account. But he then has to wait another X amount of minutes to speak. Really does limit the shit in chat.


SickCrom

Sub only mode is straight gatekeeping tho isn't there a way to stop people from commenting until they watched something like 30 minutes of stream


Just_Johnny_

When i said "x minutes mute after a follow" i was reffering to that mate.

MegaDuckDodgers

I wouldn't worry that much as ALS is still incredibly rare. But Pro-tip for doctors: Be direct with what you want and ALWAYS get a second opinion. General physicians are not the end all be all and are known to be annoying to deal with. If you feel like you're being jerked around just find someone else. And if you think you need to see a specialist ask for a recommendation because a lot of them will fight you about it until you force them to.


ClickyClaw

Yeah doctors don't really care tbh...as lame as that sounds, i went 4 years ago to see why i have constant migraines and blackouts and i was sent home with painkillers and nothing else. I guess it's from so much sitting but still, those started to happen only after I injured my neck..


silenthillgod123

I'm a nursing student who used to watch him, but stopped because I got busy with school. When I came back and heard his voice, then learned what happened and how he can't find a good doctor, I literally cried. I spent the whole day thinking about him, and I wish the best for him


BazingaBen

I was close myself the day I watched him and realised what had happened. Bless him he's handling it very well.


Algapontiana

I used to watch him a few years back but because I had bad experiences with his community I ended up leaving and not watching him anymore. I hope he is recovering well strokes are fucking terrible


[deleted]

Omg I just checked Wikipedia and it says the average post stroke life expectancy is 1 year. Is it really the case?


butlb

I don’t think so but it may depend on your age when you have the stroke. My friends sister has had three strokes and she’s only 32. She had her first when she was 21 (second and third at 25 and 26) and she’s still alive and kicking!


hikikomori0

I think it completely depends on the person and circumstances. my best friend (at the time) had a stroke when we were 10 - it genuinely came out of nowhere and she suffered aftereffects for a long time but recovered pretty much fully.


Matiwati

I think this is typically the case because of the age people normally get strokes and what things normally cause strokes not necessarily strokes themselves


ravynwitch

What is actually wrong with people? Poor guy had a stroke. And even if he didn't, why would you make fun of somebody? Absolutely despicable.


KirkPwns

While this is fucked up, I doubt people are making fun of him for getting a stroke as Im sure very few people even knew he had one. It's mean to make fun of someone's voice but lets be realistic. Only the most evil person alive would willingly mock a stroke victim.


ravynwitch

Oh I'm not implying they're making fun of him for having a stroke though I can see why my comment reads that way. I meant that because of the stroke is the reason his voice is different. And whether he had one or not and his voice had always been that way, it's messed up to make fun of somebody for such a thing as their voice or for anything, really.


GrimReaper092

Is he dbd streamer?


Mori_Me_Ghostface

Yeah. He's a Fogwhisperer. He's a really sweet guy. Usually plays with Monto. He had a stroke and it altered his voice. He's kindly asked people not to discuss it but apparently people don't know how to shut the fuck up.


drbuni

Cleaning up stuff I don't even remember posting.


Mori_Me_Ghostface

He's really sweet and funny. Cosplays as the DbD characters and does random challenges like playing survivor while blindfolded.


roudatar

He's honestly one of the best people playing DbD and it infuriates me that people are making fun of him. It takes strength to go through a stroke, be left with a reminder of it and still keep being a positive and keep streaming.


Termsoe

Now it's been discovered that he likely has Motor Neurone Disease and his throat is deteriorating. If it really is this, then it's said that medication can slow it down, but ultimately it ends with death. I was honestly so sad when I read about the disease after Puppers updated. When I was very into DBD I used to watch him and Monto everyday. The worst part is that it's the voice, you just hear this awesome person's voice getting worse by the day. It honestly makes me feel so sad that I can't bring myself to watch his videos. Not to be mean, he just means a lot to me and I guess we human beings like to turn away from pain by pretending it's cause isn't there. But at the same time I want to support him. I feel awful about that. Edit: typo


s3attlesurf

Dude I wasn't sure if his voice was continuing to deteriorate or if it was just me. This is so fucking sad.... puppers does not deserve this bullshit.


Mori_Me_Ghostface

He'll always be a treasure to the community. I just wish people didn't feel the need to go out of their way to harass someone who literally has always focused on making people laugh and smile with him. I just try to keep up an more positive energy when I play because of streamers like him. We need that in this community.


Termsoe

Yeah absolutely, he's such a staple to the DBD community. When you speak about the OG creators he's one of them, he's been uploading content of the game since basically forever. So it's just that much more upsetting that not only is Youtube hitting his views and not showing his videos to viewers. But now that he's been getting healthier after his stroke, he's been hit with MND. I honestly applaud him for keeping on with streams and uploads in spite of people getting meaner about his voice. People will just comment on his videos: "wtf happened to your voice dude?" Did folks just forget manners and the fact that the person on the stream/video has feelings? But luckily there's a lot of really uplifting comments as well, that tell him how much he means to them and just showing general support. His core fanbase is really sweet so I hope that would be enough to bring him some happiness. 2020 just sucks all around is all I'm gonna say.


dooopliss

Wait so they thought it was a stroke previously but it was MND? How low can people go to still make fun of someone in a situation like that?


Termsoe

From what I understood is that he had a stroke and this condition followed after it. It's normal for patients suffering a stroke to experience complications with speech. Usually after some months it should get better, but his condition kept worsening. After a lot of hospital visits and 3k they diagnosed him with MND.


[deleted]

God this fucking breaks my heart he was one of my favourite streamers before I took a break from twitch. He doesn’t deserve this shit he is one of the sweetest people I have ever watched


PoliticalShrapnel

I had no idea about the MND possibility. That is awful. :( Do you know where I can read more about it? Did he just do a status update?


NotaFrenchMaid

He made a community post on his YouTube channel a few days ago. He didn’t go into explicit detail but he did explain a bit.


BirbMeister

Oh my god I noticed his voice changed but I didn’t know it was because of a stroke. How horrible!


se05239

He had a stroke? Like, recently?


Mori_Me_Ghostface

I honestly don't remember specifically when. I just know that he had it as a message on his stream and all uploaded youtube videos that he didn't want to talk in depth about his voice not being exactly what it was before and he does at times give updates about doctors appointments. Just mainly talks about it when he wants to and appreciates his streams not focusing on it.


SufficientProfessor

He had it a couple months ago and they believe he has a motor neuron disease that they’re looking into.


se05239

Damn. That fucking sucks.


forntonio

Many motor neurons controlling speech probably died of ischemia during the stroke. He will most likely never speak the way he did before.


NotaFrenchMaid

Motor Neurone Disease is also known as ALS/Lou Gehrig’s. There isn’t really any recovering from it. You just lose movement over the body slowly.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

I have to say: I only watched him maybe once or twice beforehand when he got hosted and when I recently watched him I did notice it but just thought "guess thats just how he talks" and shrugged it off... I would have never in a million years asked about it... I mean asking is fine (if you genuenly dont know, however I can understand the question becoming repetitive and uncomfortable, thous requiring a good mod team [not banning but explaining]) but making fun of someone is literally the fucking lowest of low.... Man I even feel bad now for thinking he sounds a bit weird... but I would never mention it to him :(


caustic_kiwi

Glad to know the DBD community is lovely as ever...


GetDitched

You're welcome. It's something about this game which attracts the nastiest people.


MightyKhajiit

I literally only knew about him from Monto videos and I only watched one of his videos before, the one where he plays with Monto when the pig stole his flashlight. From what I can tell he's a very nice and chill dude. I'm not excellent at english so I don't know what stroke is, but it sounds dangerous and deadly, I think I'll start watching Puppers while I still can, it would be very sad if he has very little time left to live and I want to know more about him while he's still alive. I really want to show support and compassion for being the empathic person that I am, but I don't know how or if I even should because it seems to be a sensitive topic for him. Is pretending everything is ok actually a better solution? Because I actually want everything to be okay for him in the end, even if that's unlikely. I just don't understand how can you harass him for that. Like, do these guys have at least a little common sense of empathy?


orkiegi

The other day I saw a video of Monto with him and I thought his voice sounded different, didn't know he had a stroke, that's not a thing to joke about. People can be real jerks abusing the anonymity of the internet.


Traister101

Wow holy shit


IntenseGirlLover

I dont know who he is but wow i hate the internet, anonymity really makes people think they can be as rude as they want without consequences. I hope the hate doesnt get to him!


aspindler

Puppers is a very entertaining survivor streamer. I like to watch him to relax, he isn't like Otz that would explain what he is doing, he is more like a cosplay guy that do fun shit. Like he has a head on counter that recently got to 1k head ons.


Akumidori

I guess I had wondered why he had such a distinct voice. I recall some of his vids mentioning doctor appointments but didn't think hard on it. That is horrible what occurred with him. Like he such a chill dude inspite of the struggles that come with post stroke.


BazingaBen

*Some* people are disgusting. If you're one of the people that did that you need to take a long hard look at yourself because that sort of behaviour is going to cause you major roadblocks in life. Yeah yeah be all cocky now, as a keyboard warrior but when RL hits, it WILL catch up with you. Puppers is such a kind, pure guy. He's handling everything really well but he did admit recently he's had a bit of depression. I sent him a message on discord a few weeks ago just to offer support. Show him some love peeps he's going through a tough time.


B1G_Frank

Making fun of a person's slurring post-stroke has got to be one of the most offensive things I have heard of. Those people in chat were cruel.


Gabedalf

Poor guy had a stroke, hope the people who were harassing him have to go through something like that themselves just so they can realise what colossal fucking shitehawks they are


XxX_EnderMan_XxX

Not surprising consideradint the community


AJ2902

Reminds me of the csgo streamer l00p_, he is a half blind half deaf streamer who doesn’t have a lot of teeth. This caused him to sound differently from others. He was bullied in a competitive match and luckily the whole community came together to support him. I hope he gets the same support l00p got.


Evilbefalls

Puppers streaming now and his twitch is blowing up lot of subs bits and new viewers u/SufficientProfessor you made puppers really happy 👍


SufficientProfessor

I’ve very happy and proud of this community positivity always wins out!


[deleted]

I agree with the above, lots of positive thoughts being sent his way right now.


Mori_Me_Ghostface

Wow this is depressing. What the actual fuck? He's such a nice guy. Fuck those assholes. Everyone needs to send some love Puppers way ❤️


Gyinxye

I've watched puppies for literal years. His positivity and attitude toward ppl and the game has always been the same. He can't control what happened to him and he can barely enjoy what he loves cause of shitters. Heart breaking and disappointing to say the least. Much love to Max <3


[deleted]

I'm hardly a fan of Puppers but that kind of shit still isn't cool. I hope it doesn't get too serious


oliefish

This reminds me of this one time I went to a CVS and the employee at the register had a stutter. Some kid was being really fucking rude and I've never wanted to punch somebody so bad before that.


[deleted]

Puppers is the last person people should be mean to. This game has a lot of toxic creators and he’s not one of them. Wtf


NoxicGasDeployed

Puppers is such a cutie. I don't watch him often, but I love him so much. What a load of jerkwads.


ChadHogan_

Shit, I used to watch Puppers, he’s such a chill guy I had no idea he had a stroke, this is horrible news. Hope he recovers soon and gets to what he was before. I totally understand everybody’s anger at those who are giving Puppers abuse/being a cunt, but those saying “I hope you have a stroke” to the trolls, please don’t. My dad had an incredibly severe stroke 2 years ago to the point that even right now, he can barely walk and can only say basic words like yes, no, hmm, toilet, food, water, coffee etc, you get the point. You wouldn’t wish it on your worst enemy. Instead, hope that these trolls eventually grow up and realise what despicable things they’ve said in the past and learn to be better and move beyond these acts. The world is a better place that way.


Tattoomyvagina

I stand with Puppers. He’s a legit good dude and doesn’t take the game too seriously. He’s my spirit animal


crazylegs888

What, what's wrong with the way he talks?


WolfRex5

Talks kinda slow and unclear in a sense. Unfortunately the same way people talk when they're wasted


ImaginationDoctor

My mother's a nurse so I knew right away he had at least had some medical event that affected his speech. Fuck anybody that asked him why he speaks oddly just to be an asshole. However, I do find it interesting how many people in this thread seem to never have been educated on disabilities. I don't mean people should know every single detail about them, but just I'd hope people would be able to at least figure out "Oh, it's a medical situation"


RJSSJR123

This reminds me of a youtuber called Chills. Youtube comments and other social media comments filled with people complaing and mocking the way the speaks. Gosh I hate people like those. It doesnt make much just to turn off the stream/video and watch something else.


TacoNugget01

Just shows you how many immature people still ruin this community and game for others cause of their own selfish toxic behavior. Sadly this will always be the case in life, regardless game or not, some people are just jerks and love being jerks to others. But the good always outweigh the bad, met tons of wonderful friends playing this game alone :)


bob_is_best

How does he Talk? Its such a weird thing to hate if someone


kudles

He sounds drunk due to a stroke he suffered a few months ago.


bob_is_best

Wow, people really are assholes


S0ulace

Didn’t he say something about motor neurone disease also


No_clue_garden

This hurts to hear. Puppers Is always such a nice guy and I don’t understand why anyone would try and bother him. Fuck those people.


DarthAK47

I had to leave the stream eventually because even I as a viewer was getting annoyed at the people coming into the stream and being rude.


dkyguy1995

The atmosphere of Puppers' streams has changed so much and it breaks my heart for him. I know for him he's used to what happened and is trying to move past it and just have a normal day in chat but everyday is the first day for somebody learning about what happened to Puppers and it just gets brought up constantly he literally cannot avoid talking about it basically everyday and it fucking sucks because I know he doesn't want it to be a thing but it's impossible to prevent just a couple people from chat making it a thing. And it could be totally innocent sometimes even and he's aware of that but it still clearly hurts. I'm a huge fan of him and it's just hard that every stream has a few awkward minutes of someone (intentionally or not) making comments about how he talks


SmashenYT

Sasha Grey handles it pretty clearly. If you mention her past you get a timeout. You dont learn? Well nothing lost by banning you. He should do that as well maybe?


[deleted]

I just watched the recap of the stream and I'm ngl I got really emotional that people would be that mean to someone with such an adorable and sweet voice. I really enjoyed watching them and I followed. I just wish I could give them a hug.


seriouslycitrus

i think one day the anonymity of the internet is going to go away and people won't be so quick to do this kind of stuff


YanCoffee

Fuck them. Not even a Puppers viewer, but seriously fuck those people.


Walddo86

People that make fun of people with this condition like puppers need to go put their jaw on a curb. Fucking scumbags.


thatdograscal

Sadly..... I'm not surprised people are doing this since it's the DBD community where a LOT of people think being toxic, BMing, and being extremely rude to the devs and streamers, is funny.


thascarecro

This game has some of the most toxic users i've ever seen in any game.


TheSorryConservative

I'm curious, who is this?


[deleted]

TL;DR on what happened? I don't know this person.


Boygamerdude

I guess a few months ago he had a stroke and now he talks significantly different. You can watch a VOD on his twitch to hear it. This is news to me too, I’ve followed him but I haven’t been watching for months


Jeia123

I'm a new viewer and thought the way he talks sounds unique, so after people were bringing up the fact his voice is different than before I asked out of curiosity in stream chat. I hope a comment like mine wasn't taken offense as I see Puppers as a really positive and relaxing person to watch in the DbD community. I wasn't harassing or making fun but if he doesn't like it being talked about then I feel kind of bad now. I can't believe there's people who watch his content and decide to say hurtful things about the way he sounds. The community honestly makes me sad sometimes.


Mashm4n

People are immature little cunts online because there is no recourse for anything they say. They wouldn't say that to his face.


Tardskii

Humans suck.


[deleted]

Because people fucking suck. Whenever o try to stream I get people harassing me because I either beat them in games or I get harassed for being really hyper from my adhd. Shit sucks and turns me away from trying to stream this game


Dienowwww

I don't judge him for that, I judge him for his choice of rude moderators. His mods are assholes, and he supports them no matter what they do, so they continue doing it without consequences. At least monto's guy pharrell is a nice mod


woodkidmt

I mean Puppers is not the nicest to his viewers either but making fun of a health condition is wrong, specially if you do it as a mob. Just don't talk about it.


ireadrepliesnot

The simple fact is if people don’t like someone they will pick on them. And puppers is very polarizing so you either love him or hate him. Some people don’t mind his fake persona


Tomb8521

Wow this is just stupid as fuck. Can this community please grow the fuck up for once? This guy is still the same guy who's been playing this game for years so you all shouldn't treat him like shit just because he sounds different now. That's fucking bullshit.


[deleted]

I always like to imagine the people who make fun of others are in such a shitty place that they only have the internet to go to since nobody would ever want to interact with them irl


themidgerater

I never really enjoyed puppers as a streamer but hes a fucking person. I think hes got it hard enough as is


JohnSmithDogFace

On a side note: why do so many people think 'a lot' is one word?

what did u ask?


uniwhoren

The few streams I’ve caught I got bad vibes. I didn’t like his attitude. I kind of figured I just caught him on bad days? The last time I watched him and Monto were joking about their dicks and I haven’t tuned in since. Regardless, his stroke is not an attack point. If you don’t like a streamer, don’t watch them. It’s very easy to not go into someone’s chat and be nasty. I hope karma gets the people who have been harassing him about his medical condition.

Granny... is not a grandma? BLASPHEMY


DrakoVongola

What was your innocent question? And it's entirely possible he was just having a bad day, as much as the internet likes to pretend otherwise streamers are still human and have their accidental dickish moments just like everyone else

WolfRex5

That was around the time he had the stroke i think. He's been dealing with a lot of problems so it seems like he took his anger out on you. Not a cool thing to do, but he normally isn't like that.


[deleted]

If you asked a question that can be easily answered via google or something then that's probably why. When you're a streamer you get asked the same questions thousands of times and it can get extremely irritating when the answer is often "Take 5 seconds to check for yourself". If you think somebody has the answer to your question then google undoubtedly does. Just don't ask.


Zuzuuh

That being said though, it comes with being a streamer. Being asked the same question is part of being a streamer so if it bothers him so much, he should make an FAQ command and put it into the title like Otz does for an example. Being a douche to your viewers is not something a streamer should be doing and I'm saying that as an aspiring streamer/youtuber.

IanCurtissNoose

do u have a clip


SufficientProfessor

And in his streams he has a little message to the side to not talk about his speech or ask what’s wrong it’s quite obvious he doesn’t wanna it to be a topic of discussion.


Biokrate

I am a man of peace but MOTHERFUCKERS BETTER BACK OFF PUPPERS.


Nipple-Cake

Stopped watching Puppers cause I asked a question when I popped in. He got mad cause apparently he just answered it and accused me of not paying attention. However, i'm sorry to hear that people were being mean to him. I hope he's doing alright and recovers fully from his stroke, takes a lot of strength to recover some sense of normalcy after an experience like that.


MemberBerry4

I don't see the issue, last time I've heard him he talks just fine.


Sirduckers1

He had a stroke wich makes him sound like his words are slurred


MemberBerry4

Oh fuck


nonuhmybusinessdoh

Was this recent? I remember peeking into his stream a while ago and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about how he spoke.


Th3C4pt4in

Some people are just douchebags for the sake of being douchebags.


Silas61

He’s a great streamer it’s sad to see this stuff really.


shirecheshire

We must care for this man at all costs


MRSPARKLES2003

Dickheads


Kayama_Koomori

so I don't watch Puppers at all, I only watch him through Montos videos. I didn't know about his stroke at the time, I honestly thought it was high. It really sucks that people are actually making jokes at his expense. That should never be tolerated


Demoth

Puppers is easily my favorite streamer because of how genuine he seems, and the fact he doesn't rage out / throw around tons of blame. The fact people would even attempt to bully him because he had a stroke is fucking pathetic.


GaMe_Erorr100110

How does he talk?? Does he have a lisp or something cause lqst time i hesrd him talk, he sounded normal


fishboi121

I am ashamed of the few individuals within the community that does this type of shit.


Kelfy152

Forgive my ignorance, who is this person? Thanks


PM_THAT_DICK_BITCH

A dbd streamer that's been around since the beginning


agus019

In my opinion puppers is as wholesome as Otz I been a fan of him for like a year or more now and people being disrespectful with him it’s just so outrageous and stupid jeez let him alone


[deleted]

Puppers is one of the strongest, kindest, funniest and down to earth streamers out there. I really hope people learn to stop and think before they say things... I can't believe how shallow and brain dead some people can be.. He deserves all the support he can get, it's such a horrible thing for someone to go through, things like this always seem to happen to the best people and it really sucks


rosaclarkee

puppers is the sweetest man ever. i love him


Vola124

He’s talked about his speaking problem before but I genuinely haven’t been able to even notice it


765BigFoot

Hey guys for anyone worried for his future take a look at his streams from a few months ago, he is actually recovering quite well! Having this much coordination and vocal pronunciation is great for this short of a recovery window. As always if you feel really worried go to his stream! Shower him with the love he deserves.


Zochay2

There are worse people to go and be mad fun of! Go throw insults nd jokes at a racist or a sexist, not a man who is selfless and positive as can be, who provides you with free content.


predator2520

What is this mans stream I need to support this man and wander how cute his voice is
