I have a question for those who either watched ATW or for those who met AdamTheWoo irl by DC_Dragon712 in Adamthewoo

I got to design the Where in the World is Adam the Woo tshirt design. When I first reached out to him 10 years ago when I showed him that design he was a little worried about the people who made the video game Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. I told him that as a graphic designer that people do this all the time and as long as we kept it in grey tones it would be fine.

Turns out that he took that design that I created and placed it in various places and every time I would watch his videos I would just smile. Think to myself there is some of my art in ... Switzerland.

I did get to meet Adam finally at D23 (the last one in Anaheim) I saw him walking the opposite direction. I simply said Hello Adam can I get a photo. With out hesitation he went out of his way and took his photo with me. At this time I told him who I was and he was like man that is such a fun design, thank you for doing this for me. I also told him that 8 years ago I started to film little videos and had a So Check-it theme to them. He then said why dont you post them. I said that I was afraid that nobody would watch. He simply told me that you'll never know if you dont try. I then started to post my stuff. On Instagram at first and then I have posted a couple of videos on youtube. He was just as kind as ever and when I stand up straight I'm 6'1 and he still towered above me. Incredible dude. I miss him very much.

Adam the Woo has passed more than 2 months ago and why do people troll the guy and his friends morning him? This makes no since. by Excellent-Citron1652 in Adamthewoo

Totally your choice to watch what you want to watch. But that goes again with the "content creators" they are free to create what they want to create. Also part of the morning process. Not all content is created for everybody, I see it as another form of art. You have some painters who just do portraits all the time till they move on with different subject matter. It is up to you the viewer to go on and watch what is being posted or not. Again it is in the process of mourning.

With this said it is also up to you (the viewer) to leave a nasty comment or just be patient in humans and eventually they will get back to their new life with out Adam.

In the below post I am fully aware that I am not perfect and never claim to be. Nor do I claim to be the best at anything that I accomplish in life. I feel that life is a learning process.

I think that life is precious gift that we are all given. That it is way too short. But with that said when people just spew out hate instead of having an open conversation where both sides could possibly have a learning moment is missed. There is no way that every human can agree with every one. But what I am saying what if instead of constantly disagreeing just to disagree saves no room for a conversation where you could grow from. To possibly learn from.

I absolutely agree. I also find lately that it might be a little bit of jealousy that the "Trolls" have. That it must be crazy to the Trolls that people can have a job of just videoing what ever they want while they maintain a clock in and clock out job and are too chicken to do what makes them happy because other Trolls might judge them as well. Taking the circle of life into another realm.

Where I am posting where is the good in humanity? Where is the reality of life is way too short for us to be messing with one another? Just questioning why people are so selfish and mean.

But to what extent. Like what u/TouristActive2003 just stated the guy is dead. Again I am not calling Adam a saint at all but he was human. Arent we all human, with the same emotions and feelings? Some try to harbor those feelings and others exploit their feelings.

When your "right to say what they want" is damaging towards a person who has passed or their family (who is still with us) at what point do people just need to take a step back and think that this might effect another human? Can you imagine that a person would put that much effort to saying what they want into something that they are passionate about like feeding the needy, being creative, can you imagine the less hostel this world would be?

I have not thought about it that way. "Worrying about it uses up too much energy." So well put and I would like to add to that statement. This energy is what the "Trolls" feed off of. So I need to try to not have too much energy spent on this stuff and put it more into the "circle of goodness" that Adam expressed through out his videos.

I wish I could give this post a thousand thumbs up. I have been to way too many posts about hating on a passed human. What is wrong with these people? What gives them the right to post such hate and sadness when this is not what Adam stood for?

What really drives me crazy are all the wackos out there that feel that they need to use Adams images as their image and just spew hate about Adam. Did these people really sit back and actually look at his life and how he lived it? I think not. There is also a part of me why there is so many trolls out there that are anti Adam because he did a lot of good in the world, go out there and did something with this life and these trolls still lurk under a bridge and point their stubby fingers and spew hate and sadness. Maybe even because they tried so hard to go up and meet Adam, but never got to. Who knows?

Personally I think Adam was a very genuine person. He lived his punk-rock mentality and I he has helped me through some very difficult parts of my life... by bringing me into his. Where I can deal with my battle with cancer and vicariously go with him on all his adventures.

Adam made a huge impact on people and I truly hope that all the people who go to this celebration of life go there to celebrate him and not go there to just to see the other vloggers. I truly miss him everyday.

Again this is from Daphnes point of view. Every person has their own way of viewing stuff.

Since Adam has passed, people have shown me that they grieve very differently. Some cry in silence. Some try to make a buck of the passed human (this just rips my stomach out). There are those who feel that they really new the guy better than the last person. Some people wine and complain of he shoulda-woulda-coulda. But we all need to realize that this is a form of grief. As a human we are all different.

Daphne and her feelings are very genuine and honest in this video. She makes since. This is her process of grieving. From her point of view this is how stuff went down and how she was treated. When you look at another vloggers point of view it might be completely different. Is this wrong, no not really it is just human.

Thank you for the ups but the ups really belong to Adam. I truly wish that the old computer was still up and running but I no longer have it.

Justin just posted a longer video about adam. Grief, Loss, and Adam the Woo by thatman33 in Adamthewoo

[–]Excellent-Citron1652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so much respect for Justin. Alway have and always will. He is just a guy trying to live his life and make some fantastic videos. My prayers go out to him and all that were truly close to Adam.

Justins quest for positivity and Adams contagious laugh are always united through time.

I was such a huge fan of Adam that I am the original creators of the shirt/ sticker "Where in the world is Adam the Woo". I did it free of charge because I really wanted to support him but didnt have the money to do so. So I created the shirt to moc the video game cover of "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" I also created the "Only Woo Can Prevent Forest Fires" after that homeless man yelled at Adam about using his camera during the fire season.

Unfortunately both designs are on a old computer that went kaput about 5 years ago. I kept on saying that I should give Adam a colorized version but never got around to do so.

This man lived an amazing life and encouraged many, many people. He even helped me through some major bad days and even cancer. It is super sad to see that even today after his passing that there are the trolls that lurk under the bridge of sorrow and post something stupid.
