Topic: RIP Justin Carmical AKA JewWario 1971-2014

RIP fellow internet celebrity, you will be missed, even though I never got to see your work.

Sometimes the world can become unbearable to many of us, even if 99% of the time everything seems A-OK. As someone with a severe anxiety disorder, those scary moments have come to me before, but thankfully all the people I care for are able to counter all the real or imagined problems I may have. Not an emotional person in general, but I am honestly saddened by the news. Never watched his show or honestly heard of him, but I pray that his family finds comfort and that the good memories trump this traumatic time for them. I only wish he could have been able to see past the darkness back to the light of those he cared for. " A dark cloud bring sadness, sometime fear, but if we remember that beyond EVERY cloud the sun shines brightly, where happiness, and joy can be found."

I've never seen his videos, but it's still so very sad to hear.

There was a local weatherman here who was just like this, if I'm understanding correctly. He was a very upbeat, happy-go-lucky, goofy personality (and at one point, around halloween, stood outside the station in a Superman costume giving out candy to all the cars that passed by), and he was the last person you'd think would do something like this, and it made it all the more shocking when it happened.

If he committed suicide then he is probably happier dead.

wow.
i found out about the game holy diver because of him on the show "you can play this too"
for some reason i was thinking about that episode lately...

Such sad, sad news. R.I.P., Justin.

Very very sad.

All news of death touches me, but even more painfully so, when it's suicide. What must have happened to make someone choose to leave this way? If his wife doesn't know, then it's something he'd kept bottled up for some time. Possibly part of the reason he started his show, in the first place, or even something before that. A scaring event he never could heal. Maybe his wife knows more than I give her credit for, but pressing someone for information about this would be dispicable, even for the curious.

I didn't watch his videos, nor did I know the guy, but I've heard from many who did, and it sounds like this was something nobody could've ever predicted. It's one of those things that, no matter how hard we try to escape, the past will always follow us. If you can't live with your past, this is inevitable...

I'm sorry, I've gone into a contemplative rant. No disrespect intended.

Requiescat In Pace

^this

I don't think that's the right mentality to have.

@WaveBoy Judging by that video about 'being stupid' it seems this dude gets easily hung up on small things like name calling

yeah keeping feelings hidden inside is dangerous. but giving up on life is never the way to go, everyone has hard times bad things happen. and those who aren't careful let this stress get them and they do things they won't even have time to regret later... but those who stay here alive do have time to regret and that's the saddest part in my opinion, ending it all for yourself and leaving the others sad and helpless.

So sad to hear of this loss. I enjoyed his videos a lot before too.

But @Waveboy I'm not sure if I would call it selfish. I used to have the anxiety issues before as well and I could recall thinking that perhaps I was being a burden on the people I had knew and they would have been better off without me. I doubt many people who have thoughts of suicide consider that what they are doing is selfish. I think perhaps it's our culture which enforces for people (and especially men) to bottle emotions inside rather than actually reach out because that's a sign of weakness and nobody wants to hear someone else's complaints. I know you're a great guy and you wouldn't do this, but some of my friends have accused people with suicidal thoughts of selfishness as a means of rationalising and preventing their actions. It was in good intentions and all, but pointing out additional flaws in someone is definitely not going to help them get over the things they're going through.

Yukio Mishima committed suicide and as far as I know it was considered ok because he did it in the right way. (And what he did prior to that was considered just fine.)

Guys, please show some respect for the dead (and if not him, perhaps the people grieving for his loss) and don't turn this thread into a giant argument over the morals of suicide. Thank you :/

ok, sorry!

I never really seen this guy's videos (although his Youtube username does sound familiar), but this is just horrible news. I hope that his family and friends survive this tragedy.

I was angry all night over this, and I don't know why. It wasn't anger against Jewwario, but suicide itself. The fact that it breaks down and destroys even the most happy-go-lucky of people, and causes devastation among the victim's social circle, just really ticks me off. I never really paid that much attention to suicidal incidences, but now I harbor total hatred towards it.

Again, I'm not angry at Jewwario, but at the act that did him in.

If my earlier post seems ambigious, I mainly wanted to say, I hope people can see the good beyond any bad situation. Every time I here about things like this, I just do my best to remember all the good things I HAVE to live for. Once again, deepest sympathies for his family and friends and anyone else affected by this tragedy.

Very diiferent society than the one I live in (American Christian), and many others around the world. I understand only a little about Japanese culture (assuming he's Japanese??), but it seems steeped in honor, and the abilty to regain that lost honor i.e. seppuku. I think these 2 situations vary greatly due to how each one's family would react. I know as a family member I would not feel "sad yet proud" if a family member did this, I would just feel "sad".
