By the way, what medical problem does this kid/guy have? I'm curious to know.
Edit: Nevermind, I found it was Progeria. It's a rare disease in which the symptoms related to aging appear at an early age, around 1 in 8 million babies are born with the condition.
Shawn is a former 1UP journalist, now working for 2K, Sean is the former NBA player. And in my opinion, Shawn is one of the few people who use Twitter correctly. Unless you live an extremely interesting life, no one cares about the minutiae of your everyday schedule.
" The kid is fucking dying, this community is really going down hill...... "
It's not that he's dying. It's that he comes out and starts swearing like no tomorrow... That would annoying if anyone did it, and makes people feel more awkward watching him do it. I wonder why he thinks he needs to have this be the memory people are left with.

Yeah I know he acts kind of "Wiggerish" sorry for a lack of a better term, and he does put these videos up on youtube,but there is obviously something wrong with him besides the fact that he has a disease, I can't imagine the stress he is going through and now he has all the internet laughing in his face.
I don't know, sometimes the world can be so cruel, If you can look past that the kid is acting like a thug, he is a normal kid with a very deadly disease and will probably only see another 2-3 years in his life.
I just ask kindly, could this thread be closed? the poor guy doesn't deserve this, and I know he probably will never read or give a shit about what anyone says as he said in another video, and here at giantbomb I don't want to log in to see people saying " My god, it's a mentally retarded gangsta holocaust survivor! "

He put this on the internet. Not just on the internet, the one site where people go to watch videos. He obviously does not give a damn what people think, so why do you?

It's not the fact that he gives a shit or not, it's the fact that people are making fun of a kid with a deadly disease, if everyone here thinks it's ok then I'll gladly leave these forums.

Don't let less than a handful of people taint your portrayal of the majority.
He's happy enough so if it makes him happy its okay surely. Although I don't agree with who ever gave him the internet to upload them, maybe as a personal thing, but if you're his parents posting something like this on the internet is going to get bad rep and can be avoided straight away.
Fact: Progeria is NOT a mental illness, he is not mentally retarded. He is young, and obviously finds something appealing or resonant about the 'gangster' attitude. Moreso, he's probably going to die quite soon, so let the kid do what makes him happy.
"Why do people always have to be such twats and ridicule someone else? "
Because there behind there computer desk, I'd like to see someone here go up to that kid and make fun of him, but of course they wouldn't, but they know they can say whatever the hell they want as long as there anonymous on the internet.

There's a definition for people like that: coward.
Here is a question to those that are morally superior to everybody else.
So lets say instead of this kid doing it, there is a 350 pound white guy doing it. Would you laugh at the video, or comments made by others? If so, are you really that much better then anybody else?

Well, being over weight is something you can somewhat control and fix, this kid isn't going to get better.

That is true. But at the end of the day, you are getting a chuckle at somebody's expense. Like I said before, I feel bad that I laughed at that comment, but it was so fucked up and out of the blue....it just happened. We all see things differently obviously, in my opinion if you do something stupid, regardless how you look or your condition, I will laugh at you. This kid is not mentally retarded, if he was then it would be a whole different ball game. When I see something ridiculous like this, I do not consider that he may die soon....all I see is some ridiculous shit.
" Without viewing those youtube videos and judging from it, that is one fucked up American kid.. "
Why, because he's born with a genetic disorder, which is completely beyond his control. He's just enjoying himself, playing around, posting videos as do millions of others on youtube. I actually find it more fucked up, that people who would profess to have two brain cells in their craniums would disparage the kid, which is what he is. I always wonder if it makes them feel better putting down those that are less fortunate than themselves, they must lead some shit lives if that's the case.
