No, it doesn't work THAT way. Regardless of how much of an asshat he is, his parents didn't do anything. I'm all for exposing VFX's bullshit, but it's just nonsensical to blame him for something a bunch of /b/tards are doing of their own accord. But his family would not be mocked as such had VFX not brought massive attention upon himself and them through asshattery, correct?

Dr. Tiller wouldn't have been shot if he didn't perform abortions, would he? Extreme analogy, I know, but it gets the point across.

Yeah, because /b/ is just going to ignore a giant fucking target this guy painted on his whole family...

In both cases, the individual does something that makes them a target of another group, but it's the OTHER GROUP that actually DOES what's wrong.
I know you recognized this point. Don't be the annoying person who has to nitpick the analogy.

So what you're saying is exactly what I am, VFX brought about the mockery. I'm not arguing right or wrong, I'm arguing that the family would not be mocked had Venom not been a loudmouthed douchenozzle
You seem to be wandering off on to a seperate point people are pointing out
Had VFX not been an asshat that brought attention on him and his family, would his family have been mocked by anon, Yes or No?

No, but he still can't be blamed for the actions of other people, which is what was implied at the beginning, so not a tangent.

So him drawing attention in no way has anything to do with people harassing his family?
Whether it's right or wrong for people to target his family, it's still because of his actions they did.

Update: VFX is completely gone from youtube and is, as part of a legal agreement with DPRjones, in therapy.
Once again, Thunderf00t, DPRjones and several other users had him lined up for the legal kill shot, and once again, they showed mercy. However, this is his last chance.

My first instinct was to laugh at him, but I hope he's being sincere & that it all works out for him.

Almost enough to make you believe in a higher power. Instead, I'm gonna worship this DPR guy. It's good he's getting help, though. He always seemed too royally fucked up to treat as a joke.

I don't really get what's meant by "any donation will count as $1," which is why I didn't say it. Presumably it means that $1 of each donation goes to the charity he claims to be collecting for and he pockets the balance. That's not a charity collection, that's a personal collection with charity thrown in as an afterthought. I automatically assumed it meant that, since he said everything after $500 would go to charity, then if each donation only counted as $1 towards that he would have to get over 500 donations, of any size, before he'd send any to charity.

Well, here's to Shawn's recovery, and continued well-being. I sincerely hope he gets a handle on things, and gets himself healthy. Mental illness (in any form) is no joking matter.
