When positivity becomes ignorant, it becomes harmful. I hate when people down-size serious issues because it’s too “negative” or “not real”.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

I hate it too. I think hope and positivity have their place, but we can't shove our heads in the sand or shame people for feeling negative.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

Toxic positivity fuels ableism and mental health stigma. Is okay to be optimistic, but don't impose it on others or pretend the mentally ill can simply choose happiness.

[@cupcakehamster5799]

I can't believe something like this is happening in part of my tribe and I had no clue about this. This project takes place in Sandy Lake, Ontario, Canada, and these videos are of a lot of indigenous kids from the tribes there, mainly the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) and Cree nations children in these videos. It almost feels exploitative? I really hope he offers these kids compensation for being in these videos. I don't know how good Canada treats its indigenous peoples, but I know the indigenous people here in Minnesota aren't doing well usually. "I'm thankful for food" Yeah a lot of the kids I went to school with on the res didn't have any food at home. Makes sense why he did that one with mostly white people.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

I'm Canadian. We could be doing A LOT better in treating our Native populations. It does feel like he has a saviour complex.

[@erika2754]

I fully agree with you. Also, I live in Minnesota too!

[@lavenderbear581]

4:20 If I was in a depressive episode and someone sent me a video with a man singing “I am so happy” over and over, I’d be so pissed and just feel even worse about myself. Like, good for you, you’re happy, something that I can’t achieve at the moment, now leave me tf alone 😭.

[@YemmieInc]

Toxic positivity people don't know how to deal with negative emotions, whether from themselves or others. They'll make you FEEL BAD for having normal emotions. It's weird.

[@valentinecore]

this reminds me of the fake parody song "teenage suicide (dont do it)" from heathers mocking songs like this lol

[@shiufairycrumbs]

The repetitive lyrics feel like a ritual of sorts. He fr invented manifesting and affirmations🤩

[@MahlonBast]

This guy is from my home town and he is literally treated as a celebrity by children and boomers respectively. And the World Peace sweaters are EVERYWHERE!

[@JaseekaRawr]

I dunno, but I get "ick" vibes from him 😬 Like he seems to want to be around children a lot. Off vibes.

[@fredskull1618]

I’ve often felt there’s a fine line with toxic positivity, between spreading genuine positivity and being overly optimistic. Shaking personal contact details online can be risky. I’m concerned about exposing young children to complex subjects; it’s vital to approach such topics age-appropriately. Mr. World Peace’s intentions might be good, some of his execution raises concerns for me.

[@renr4056]

he used to go by Cayenne Pepper when i was in high school and hand out business cards that said ‘world peace’. literally a blank card that said world peace

[@flesh.c0nsum3r]

I don't think I need my Zoloft after hearing that song. Thanks Jake!!

[@death_herself]

Yes i am cured

[@Pumpkinnnn-artsss]

These songs made my depression 10× worse.

[@mightymeatymech]

i'm sorry if they made you feel that way, i personally have been Cured /j

[@ashton934]

Same

[@sugaredviolets2085]

Omg I’m from Sudbury! And he’s so WEIRD I cannot deal with it. His “music” is trash, he’s very aggressive about getting you to buy his merch too. I can’t believe you did a video on him AHHHHH 😂

[@EmmyandGwyn]

This guy harassed me/ messaged me on facebook multiple times trying to sell his overpriced hoodies, after I declined every time.

[@megtorok9917]

im from sudbury, and this man is truly a menace to everyone living in northern ontario. im so sorry that hes reached outside canada, we need to put him back in the cage

[@megtorok9917]

also i went to sudbury secondary so its rly cool to hear you mention it lol

[@mightymeatymech]

i am not from sudbury. i live in ohio, twenty minutes from sunbury. what kinda nightvale/desert bluffs shite is this

[@marie-vr3cj]

​@@megtorok9917I went there too omg!! What year did you graduate?

[@cata0rostika]

Yeah people are killing themselves youbg because they dont love themselves enough and need a song to remind them. Not because they realize the world is cruel and most of them have incredibly vulnerable contexts in which violence, poverty and systemic opression are things they get to live since infancy

[@Im_Merobiba_]

I’ve tried committing unalive before and this song makes me want to try again

[@cata0rostika]

I came to comment to say the same thing.

[@emofurryboyfriendasmr]

as someone with severe religious trauma hearing "someone loves you from above" makes me want to try again its insane

[@natalie022]

Well boys we did it, depression is no more!

[@digital0ak]

Yes, of course happiness is a choice. That way if you're not happy you're the only one to blame. Great message.

[@chrystalschnur5983]

Actually can’t believe you did a video on this. He came to my home town recently and his home town is fairly close. The whole campaign seemed weird and cringe to me. Especially when he’d post kids whereabouts, my town is small as shit. Very easy to find people.

[@emmasmith2136]

Jake's jumpscare reaction at 13:00 to "Shoo-be-do-be-da-day" was worth sitting through this cringe of the highest order 😭

[@kassandrasolon1633]

It's so good for my brain to watch you cry laughing at the idea of him presenting this shit to ACTUALLY suicidal teens, I felt the same way like this would not have helped me even 1% when I was in high school. Thank you for always talking about mental illness in the realest way; your comments often make me feel uniquely seen.

[@ira__s]

I'm somehow so shocked that someone made these kids sing that awful song. It's kinda disturbing to me

[@cade_tryan]

As someone who grew up near the area, these kids are gonna be bullied relentlessly

[@skribble-]

this feels like subliminal messaging or brain washing

[@catarinaasilvacs]

Damn, if this had been released like 15 years ago, back when I was heavily svicidal, I would've definitely done it 💀💀💀

[@ciciamanda.]

The only positive anti-suicide song i'll ever accept is Don't try suicide by Queen. It's just so absurdly funny that it actually did cheer me up a little bit when I was on the brink

[@emchatman]

He got banned for shooby dooping at the love love party

[@tanivsbpd4208]

As someone diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder going on 11years.... I'm embarrassed to say I kinda like these songs 😂😂😂 like they're obviously not good and im very much aware 😅 but there's just something about saying these phrases over to myself to an ok-ish beat is giving me affirmation vibes. Lyk maybe if i say it incessantly to myself like this i'll trick my brain into believing it 😂 but im also high soooo... 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@lilmissemi]

ngl the bass goes crazy in all of these

[@sophitiaofhyrule]

If it weren't for the s*icide song I'd think this World Peace guy is actually pretty wholesome

14:16 As someone who had a similar idea, I’ve never related to someone more in my life. (Don’t worry, I’m in a much better place now that I got away from school.)

[@cageybee1154]

Now I'm shuba-duba-duba-dah depressed.

[@yowwieattack]

As someone who works in a field where we have to ask kids 8 and older if they are thinking of harming themselves or committing SI this makes me uncomfortable because most of the younger kids don’t know what the hell I am talking about and this dude doing this to random kids who probably don’t understand what he’s even singing about or saying makes me uncomfortable.

[@gracejordan110]

They wanna be Big Fun from Heathers sooooo bad.

[@marie-vr3cj]

OH MY GOD I KNOW (of) THIS GUY!!!! he gave out some of his cards at my acting classes, and lots of my friends have met him (I haven't, fortunately). Sudbury gang rise up

[@ipuffpixiedust]

Thank you for posting this! Toxic positivity has ruined my life and I’m glad your spreading the word out for how harmful it truly is. I haven’t watched the video yet, but I can already tell it’s gonna be good👍🏽
