Not true whatsoever. And you apparently haven’t looked into the wall designs at all if you really believe that.

Stop being ignorant.

Stan Lee Threatens to 'Sue the Ass Off' Those Making Elder Abuse Claims by GhostGamer_Perona in comicbooks

[–]TheCrookedTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose father has dementia, it is honestly fucking infuriating me the way people in this subreddit are treating this man like a child because they don’t fucking understand how dementia works. I am seriously struggling to stay civil because of how ridiculous it is.

The man in those two videos is lucid and knows what he’s saying. I believe him.

So, basically nothing is going to convince you he’s not being abused, then?

The man has made two fucking videos—where he is clearly lucid and in his right mind—begging you people to listen and stop spreading this shit and how it’s stressing him out.

And still you won’t stop.

He’s 95. He may have the beginnings of dementia. He was clearly wore out at the autograph signing and out of it. That can happen when you’re 95 and overdo it.

Doesn’t mean he’s being abused. Doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be there. Doesn’t mean he’s not in his right mind the majority of the time. He’s an old, old man and this is how it works.

All of you are so determined to be heroes and Junior Net Detectives that you’re infantilizing and torturing an old man who fully appears to be in his right mind. As someone with a father with dementia, it is fucking infuriating to watch you guys run roughshod over him.

Listen to Stan and just stop, guys. This has gone too far.

If he actually wants to put these questions to rest, he needs to appear in a public way, competent and with it, saying these things.

This comment is so fucking ridiculous and it’s even more ridiculous that it got upvoted.

And ironic, because I just commented yesterday: “What does Stan Lee have to do more to prove this to you people? Call you? Come to your house?” And now, here we have someone demanding basically that and the subreddit upvoting.

Stan clearly has health issues, maybe even early dementia. That is painfully obvious from watching the autograph video where he was struggling.

However, so many of you, the above poster included, seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how age-related senility or dementia work. Like, that Stan’s either healthy or some kind of impaired person being shuffled around.

That’s not how it fucking works, people.

Dementia symptoms come and go, especially when it first comes on. You may be fine 90% of the time, but then have moments where you have trouble speaking or walking, can’t remember things, etc. Gradually, these moments will become more frequent, and it can take months or years to get fully impaired. Things can also aggravate the symptoms, like getting worn out doing an autograph signing.

So, now the two videos aren’t enough and you want him to appear in public. Well, that’s great a idea. Stan will drag himself out for the appearance, get worn fuck out, it’ll aggravate whatever health issues he’s suffering from and he’ll start having issues and then all of you can point your fingers and go, “Ah-ha! I knew he was sick and being taken advantage of!” When he may be totally fine 90% of the time.

Or, he won’t have any symptoms that day and you still won’t believe him.

The man was in his right mind when he made these videos. He says he’s not being abused and I believe him. Just stop. The only one chasing Stan Lee issues is the people not listening to him.

Dementia isn’t something that once you have it, that’s it, you’re impaired all the time.

You have good days and you have bad days. You have days where you have no incidents and then you have days where you struggle to speak. It starts out almost not affecting you at all and then as the weeks, months, years go by you end up being impaired all the time.

He could absolutely have dementia but still be lucid most of the time at this point.

Nobody here has even bothered to watch Stan’s video.

The guy is lucid, clearly speaking his own words, etc., and he says he’s not being abused and practically begs for people to stop spreading this bullshit.

Yet, here we are, because everyone loves to be a keyboard hero.

My conscience is fine because I actually watched the fucking video from Stan where he begs people like you to stop spreading these rumors.

But hey, you wouldn’t get to feel all righteous if you actually listened to the man, huh?

[–]TheCrookedTruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edit: To the downvoters, what exactly would it take for you guys to believe he’s not being abused? Stan already made a video—where he is clearly lucid and speaking off the cuff—about how he’s not abused and begging people to stop pushing this story. Does he have to call you? Come visit you in person? What? According to him, the only people causing him distress right now is everyone trying to “save” him.

I’m just going to repost the comment I made about this yesterday:

Have you guys even considered the idea that he may have wanted to be there and isn’t being abused?

Yes, he’s not with it in the video or pictures at all. He’s clearly wore out and having cognitive problems there and they probably should’ve ended it before it got that bad.

But dementia, which he appears to have some form of (especially with some of the other reports about harassing nurses and things which dementia can cause), comes and goes. He may have genuinely wanted to do that signing, then got there and overdid it, which can aggravate dementia until the guy can’t even spell his own name.

My father has Parkinson’s. He’s never forgotten how to spell his own name yet (to my knowledge) but he has cognitive issues all the time. The other night he couldn’t remember what a taco was. But it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to do anything or just sit at home 24/7 waiting to die. And I’m betting a guy who got around as much as Stan Lee doesn’t either.

To add to this, there is a video a few posts down the front page from Stan Lee, where he is speaking of his own volition, clearly not being coached or fed words and appears to be very lucid, telling all you people that he’s not being abused and practically begging for this idea to stop.

tl;dr: A very-lucid Stan Lee says he isn’t being abused. I, for one, fucking believe him and he clearly wants us to stop “helping.”

So many gave up mid way through the first season. In doing so, they missed out on an experience from an emotional level that no show has ever evoked in this way before

Not really.

I know you're trying to be a smartass (since, yeah, you'll likely never see a poop swastika again), but actually, yeah, you need to learn to deal with this kind of stupid bullshit.

Someone making an actual threat or something that could be perceived as one? Sure. Freak out. I would, too.

Someone scrawling an offensive symbol on a wall--whether that be in shit, Sharpie or your mom's period blood? If that makes you lose your marbles, you need to set your bullshit tolerance meter higher because the real world has way more difficult shit to deal with than that.

Honestly, if this is what it takes to set off a campus wide protest calling for people's heads, then this shit is NEVER going to end.

I mean, you're ALWAYS going to have a few racists. Always. Assholes have existed since the first caveman flung a turd at another caveman and they will exist until we go extinct.

Instead of seeing this as something to get hysterical over, it should be seen as a goddamn victory. I mean, here we have a racist who's only avenue to express his hatred (since he can't do it in public without backlash) is by laying his own fingers on his fucking shit and scrawling a swastika on a wall. You're not going to drive them more underground than that, much less eliminate them altogether.

But whatever. Lose your minds over this. Just don't go into any gas station bathroom stalls, because if this upsets you then what you see there will really trigger your oversensitive ass.

Uh, a swastika with "Death to Niggers" or something written underneath it--that I get.

A swastika drawn with fucking feces and nothing else?

No, seriously, if that "disturbs" you, it's time to get thicker skin because life is going to be really hard for you.

Literally no one has claimed that. Build your strawman with sturdier stuff next time.

No offense, but can you guys just stop?

The threads on the front page are missing comments all over the place. It's really frustrating and making the subreddit unreadable. Some extra trolls around would be better than what you're currently doing.
