Hides his stutter really well and let's not forget, speaks another language, have you ever tried speaking another language without a stutter or a fumble? Not easy, mate, you're so awesome!

[@ragnkja]

Even in English, the foreign language I’m most fluent in, I still stumble over my words from time to time.

[@DarthWoodrack]

Prefacing this with the fact that I fully agree with the points made in the video, and think it’s absurd to attack people for a speech impediment, but, when speaking a foreign language, I think it’s probably better to speak slowly and deliberately, making sure you’re getting the words right, than to speak quickly and stumble over the words you’re not sure of. It’s the difference between, ‘Let’s go eat, Boss!’ and ‘Let’s go eat Boss!’

This needs more likes I accept your verbage sometimes some points are better said from the heart ❤❤❤

@@DarthWoodrackand natives don’t get the same treatment, do they? Nah, I’ll talk how I want, and we’ll work together to understand each other

[@DarthWoodrack]

@@MisterIncog that’s as valid a choice as any, but, as a native speaker with a language comprehension issue, I’m not gonna understand a word you say. (To be clear, if a native speaker is talking a mile a minute, stumbling over their words, and not enunciating properly, I will tell them to slow down, because I’m not understanding anything they’re saying)

I love the use of PROLONGED EYE CONTACT The best way for someone to realize they're acting weird as hell

PROLONGED EYE CONTACT (prolonged eye contact) LICK YOUR LIPS TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTING

[@I.m-Me]

Simulated eye contact is pretty much just as good as real deal. We find shapes in clouds and take comfort from cuddling people-shaped objects, so the high quality image of a real face is that much more effective 😊

[@elijahh.9451]

It's so weird to me that someone would notice that a stranger on the internet has a stutter and immediately assume they're faking? Like, what's the thought process there? And then to make fun of it?! Like you said, people need to stop being bullies.

[@chlorisc6078]

[@writinghappyhour6945]

Same. To me it just seems like they pause for emphasis. I don't get why people seek out these super positive creators and pick on them for the most random stuff.

[@sullyrane653]

I think you saying that you learned to “mask” your stutter around 7 years old is very very eye opening to me. Cause as an adult, I’ve been slowly unmasking my autism and just myself in general as well and with it, my stutter has GREATLY come back and I find myself getting onto myself and being very mean mentally about myself when I stutter and it’s unfair to me. If I’m gonna let myself unmask, I need to let my speech unmask too ✨

[@TheDragonMamma]

I’m also making the autism journey in adulthood, best of luck! I was pep talking myself on my back porch yesterday about it being ok for me to unmask and display stimming. I have ADHD and an anxiety disorder, and I’ve found that just letting my legs bounce is VERY comforting. ❤

[@SanguinaryBlade]

@@TheDragonMamma ...And I just had the realisation the leg bouncing is stimming. I have no idea why it never clicked that it's probably a consistent stim I've had all my life and I learn I happen to have more autistic traits basically every day.

[@MisterIncog]

The fact that people need to mask stuttering is absolutely WILD to me. Of course I understand why people do that, I just mean that it’s awful there are even any people who would act out negatively when talking to a person with stutter (therefore making this person mask). Like literally soulless monsters with no empathy, I cannot fathom what goes on in a head of someone who would bully a stuttering person. Like is it just lizard brain working, saying “mild annoyance = lash out” or something, like literally are you a dog or something if you think like that.

[@transsnack]

​@@MisterIncogwhat's really weird to me is how hard it's pushed to try and mask a stutter. Like... there are entire words in the English language that I don't say because I tend to stutter when (technically before, my stutter hits between words) I say them. And my stutter isn't even that bad, it just makes my speech sound oddly spaced out sometimes. I'm more likely to notice my stutter than anyone around me. But it's still been drilled into my skull that my stutter is a flaw that I must "fix".

[@Wreniffer]

@@SanguinaryBladeso real, idk why people hate leg moving so much like it doesn’t affect you

[@Cassious675]

The stutter adds so much to the videos/art. I couldn’t imagine you without it. Definitely a plus.

[@chaoticcow4357]

Honestly I never really noticed the stutter, I think because its accompaniment was just pleasant to the ears. It feels more authentic and human when you speak. Perfect speech makes for a less impactful statement.

[@Jackie_XIII]

It's shit like this That keeps me coming back. You're an amazing artist and a fantastic human being but your ability to call out people's bullshit while continuing to be the most authentic version of yourself is nothing less than truly respectable

[@aazhie]

It feels a little rough to find genuine and honest people, so I like to keep track of the folks I do find ❤

[@xxbattygrrrlxx]

When I was about 7 or 8 I was forced to take speech classes to fix my lisp and correct how I pronounced the letter "r". Years later, the effects have lasted, but occasionally it all slips back out... and it makes me happy that I've kept something since childhood. We in this together!

[@MisterIncog]

The one with r is called “rhotacism”

[@andrepalomaro353]

I genuinely never noticed it! Huh! Blends into his cadence so well to me it always just felt like such a strong way to grt points across. His slow deliberate way of speaking has always struck me as the perfect compliment to his art, which has themes of slow seething evil. Very nice, you wouldn’t be you without your voice, I’m more than certain the way you speak has had a noticeable impact on your success! Love ya!

Beautifully stated. Thank you. I my self have a speech impediment. And people can be stupid cruel and unreasonable regarding that impediment. You stated this wonderfully and humorously thank you for being you

[@Ahrpigi]

Your cadence is so close to how I speak when I get excited about a topic that I genuinely never noticed a stutter. Maybe that means I just learned something new about myself, so thanks for that too. 🙂

[@DenUngeHerrHolm]

Most of the time, I cut away the remains of my stutter(Which usually just sounds like a thinking-break). But in this particular video I may have laid it on thick. But still, that's jusy laying me on thick.

[@DepressoDad]

I also have a stutter! But mine is more repeated phrases and getting stuck on words. “And the, and the, and the, and the-” over and over until I either get past it or give up.

[@Moon17ob]

I just thought it was the accent and a purposeful way to make yourself seem more mystical and interesting lol. I love how you talk!

[@FredaBarnett]

You are so interesting and your speech cadence reflects and emphasizes the passion you have for art and your artists journey. Besides that it’s really cool, like rock star cool. I love listening to you and am thankful for all share. Power On!

[@chaislaw5014]

I have always been fascinated by linguistics and natural verbal articulation, i really enjoy hearing non natural english speakers natural speech with all its colloqiolisms and personalised perculiarities. I adore accents and how they change the sounds of letters and words.

[@oathkeeperofoblivion972]

Hey, your content is a constant source of inspiration for me. I never noticed your stutter, personally, but I don't think I would comment on it even if I had? I watch you for the sheer amount of good you put out there with your art, and I think it'd be against the idea of your art to harass someone, let alone the artist himself, over a speech impediment. Either way, I do think you're in the right for just outright coming out and saying this. Keep doing you :)

Careful with this, a lot of jerks might try to bully you more in hope for a video calling them out (for attention), and while it can help the algorithm (since engagement is engagement positive or not.), it definitely will hurt morale. You're an amazing artist, and your commentary is always great and comforting. Don't let any influx of hate get you down

[@Evistopheles]

This whole KZbin thing is hella weird if you think about it. Some people sit down and point a robotic eye at themselves and are like "hello robot eye, this is my stuff" and then they take the stuff on the robot eye and put it on a network of cables and metal boxes and wiggly air waves. I have no idea how it all works obviously heh … and then other people look at their magic communication stones and are like "this moving image of the person speaking to their robot eye makes me upset" and hack away at their magic stone, which magically inputs their anger into the cable void

I struggle with a stutter as well, quite frequently as I have a retail job, but a customer has never commented. So much of this cliche, shitty bullying clings to life online because people think there's no consequence, and it's so much easier to dehumanize somebody you only know from seeing on a screen. Some of these people really need to get sent back through kindergarten so they can learn manners again.

[@MattTakesPhotos]

I watched this ~25 times, it really spoke to me. A few years ago I was giving a flash photography presentation in front of about 40 people when my mind went blank and I forgot what an umbrella was, even though i was holding one in my hand. I ended up holding it up and asking what it was called so i could continue, something hollered out umbrella and I was good. One of my friends was in the audience and heard some hens clucking about how I was up there high on drugs. In truth I was having a seizure BECAUSE I didnt take my drugs(meds) so I'd be more clear headed for my presentation. The repeated flashes didn't help. Even though I had no reason to, it still made me feel like shit and it wasnt until after covid lockdowns that I gave another presentation and even then I keep going back to that headspace so they've gone to crap. I used to love doing those. Few and far between now. Sorry you went through this shit my friend.

My son also has a stutter. It's ridiculous and honestly sad how many people bully others over things they didn't choose, or can control. To learn to mask is hard, and it hurts that anyone should have to because others can't be patient enough to listen.

[@ScienceSelly]

I liked the announcement in the beginning. It stated for me to always be polite and nice to each other because you're right: we don't know you and you don't know us. But that's only more reason to not be mean or judgemental to each other. We don't know what's going on in each others life and if someone is struggling in life. The best thing some strangers can do is share happiness and positive thoughts. Not less but also not more ❤

My little brother had a speech impediment for a large portion of his younger years, and it tore him up inside. I was so proud of him for being able to get through the torment that it caused him and I'm so happy he was fortunate enough to not have to go through that anymore. Now a days when I meet someone who has a stutter, I'm so torn because I wanna just tell them Ive seen their pain, but I stay silent because I know that they don't need more people bringing their issues to light they already get that enough as is, whether it's positively or negatively. I know that even if I feel that what I'm saying is right, it doesn't make it right

Even when she was first learning to talk everyone could tell she was insecure about they way she talks. I have a studder and I often mispronounce things just because my words roll off my tongue wrong. I dont get people who try to fake stutters for the sake of appearances but I actively dislike people who think such a thing is worthy of judgement of any kind.

[@interstella-eyes]

Honestly, I never realized it was a stutter because your way of speaking feels very deliberate and thoughtful. It reads to me as if you are choosing your words mindfully and have an authentic interest in what you are saying. The little pauses feel like you are giving the viewer time to think opposed to stereotypical youtubers who speak extremely fast to stuff as much content into their video as possible and encourage mindless consumption. I feel like in our current social media landscape people are used to perfect and smoothed out content opposed to seeing a video about a person speaking authentically about something, so some people act hostile to things they deem "imperfect".

[@spiderbutch4992]

I’ve had a stutter my whole life-it can get worse when I’m particularly stressed or meeting a new/unfamiliar person, but around people I’m used to talking to I can rant pretty much stutter free sometimes-though I’m still apt to talk really fast. Besides stress, some days my stutter is meaner than others-one time I was trying to order froyo, and stuttered so bad that I got stuck on the “f” and just sounded like I was deflating with a “ffffff.” I then panicked and blurted out “I’m sorry! I practiced in my car!” and internally cringed at myself so hard. I completed the fro yo quest but not without some embarrassment 😂. If I’m doing an especially goofy voice, usually my stutter/voice speed is less bad, so sometimes if I’m using the voice command on the remote I’ll do that so that it can understand me. My and your experience with an actual stutter aside, even a fake stutter is fine-in looney tunes, a whole bunch of the characters have various speech impediments, which helps to make them really vocally distinct and recognizable.

[@aaronyoung8301]

I've read the Zhaungzi (brother book to the Tao te ching), and the best phrase to take from it is "Who are you to say...." And I think more people should read that book, alongside the Tao Te Ching.

Besides, I've never even noticed you had a stutter, you kept it pretty well hidden and I'm sorry there are assholes out there that make you feel the need to have to keep it hidden, or even when you don't, they think it's acting.
