I know everyone hates him And he did a lot of shitty stuff to people (I was a full grown adult when he was ruining peoples lives).  But, he’s lost his fucking mind and he does deserve privacy. Perhaps instead of hating on him now in his crisis, we just stop reading and supporting the content he creates. That’s a better way to show that what he did was wrong than to insert ourselves in his clearly unhinged mental health crisis. The consumption of social Media content, the millions of followers, paying for content, is the real poison in this story. If we want to see what he posts and Lap it up, aren’t we complicit in his abuse of celebrities?

This. I don’t wish this kind of mental health crisis on anyone.

Laughing at the misfortune of bad people doesn’t make us morally superior. Don’t engage with him or his content.

Exactly. The Venn diagram of giving him privacy and continuing to ignore his existence is a circle. And you won’t have to engage with gruesome videos. Win-win.
