PMA is short for "Positive Mental Attitude"... jesus even writing that out annoys me. Yeah sorry, I just dislike even seeing it or let alone hearing it. Hopefully that makes more sense to what I'm saying in this post. ^^;

I do watch other YouTubers besides for Let's Players. I like VSause, GameTheory, and I have some animations channels I watch here and there. Too many other channels I watch when I can, or simply have interests in watching. XD

Yes - Because I've seen a LOT of other YouTubers do this overly positive talk in the past. It's not healthy to be constantly in one mental state of mind, and I am not only worried about the community but Jack as well. ^^; Especially with what he was saying in his end of the year vlog...

and No - there's defiantly nothing wrong with a positive outlook on things. But what he is doing is literally screaming it every so often in videos, and has it plastered on every website and it's like forced positivity. There's a healthy amount, then an over the top amount. ^^;

And yeah sadly no matter how positive people look at things, being positive all the time doesn't make certain situations better, or magically fix things. I feel like people like that are not in reality. And pffftt jesus. Well you're right about that sadly. Again as I said too much of one thing is never good (positive or not).

Sadly Vegas is having some issues and being a little bitch. So until I figure out what's making it so emotional, I cannot render my videos. :P I'll find a puppy to hug for you too! XDD

Yeah because Jack is one of the nicest YouTubers, that's probably why.

Even myself I think jack is a super nice guy, but like everyone we have flaws. To think of Jack, or anyone else as some overly perfect person with no problems is flawed in it's own way. :/ I know I talked about Felix (aka - pewdipie) as one of the realist people on YT, but even with him there's things I wouldn't say dislike about him, but that needs working on and attention. Like the way he delivers his jokes, or some offensive shit he's said before I've disliked. But he has come back and if anything apologized for it, and as a human he constantly tries to better himself. Jack I know is also trying to better himself, but what he is currently doing I feel is covering up the problem he talked about in his end of the year vlog. Which is being sad, and possible depressed too (which is really serious if he is). Then to all the sudden have this slogan - "Positive Mental Attitude" seems FORCED and ignoring the issues he talked about (burying them almost to an extent). It doesn't feel like he is being honest to me, let alone himself. Again, Jack he is a very very nice person. I do not hate Jack in any way, I am simply disagreeing with the whole PMA movement and what he is doing at the moment. To constantly be 'positive' or constant anything (even constantly sad) isn't okay. This isn't even anything new, TONS of YouTuber's have done this overlay 'positive' thing in the past, and if anything I think it ended up damaging themselves (like it did to Felix).

Just I don't feel like Jack is facing reality at the moment, and kinda stuck into some loophole and I am honestly really worried for him. ^^; I am very concerned for Jack, and I want him to be mentally safe at the moment, but it doesn't feel that way. No one, and not even your co-worker have to agree with me. This is simply how I feel, and it's not just Jack but anyone I watch on YT I will always have some kinda side thought like this. It is not hateful or anything, it's simply, "Hey I am worried about this person/you. Something doesn't seem right, and I think this and this should be done/stop."

Honestly if you wanna know about Jack first hand, you will have to watch him and his vlogs too. Just some videos here and there of him too maybe. Also Jack has said in the past he doesn't like the god like status admiration thing, and he just doesn't want to be seen that way or treated as god like. But yeah at one point he felt honest to me, but this whole thing... like something changed. I don't mean this in a good way either, I hate to say that. But no matter, I still love watching Jack's content. I still love what Jack has done, the people he has helped, he is really an amazing and overwhelming caring person. He actually raised over $200,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention after the whole Logan Paul suicide forest video that went down, which is amazing. He's done a lot of donations like this, and helped a lot people.

Yeah it's a lotta stuff to go over, so I don't blame ya. Yeah I dunno maybe later on he might come out with one?? Not sure. As long as you care about that person and you're there for them, that's all the proof anyone should need. Just to know that they have someone to go and talk to. That's at least my belief on it, and honestly just had people in general come to me to talk to me when needed. Sometimes they just want someone to listen. That's all people need sometimes.

Yeah I am hoping that's true, but also that it's not a thing that is forever. And I agree kinda. Again too much of anything doesn't help. All I can do at this point is sit here and see what happens. I am just still worried though. ^^;;

He will most likely have another vlog talking about it if it doesn't work out I guess. Usually what he does.
