Description
So... I know this seems kind of stupid... But there's a huge reason behind why I drew this... I didn't want it to be a sad drawing, or a happy drawing... Just... A drawing.This is going to be a bit of a rant, so be prepared. And it contains some swearing.
Anyways, four days ago, Cry posted a really long post on tumblr about how he was really stressed out. For many reasons.
Number one, people are expecting too much of him. People are asking him to look at their art, or read their fanfic or whatever, and they're demanding videos at all hours, and it's not fair. He's got a life. He's got friends. He's got stuff to do. And he doesn't need to share with us his personal life. He gets thousands of messages every day that constantly demand replies and his attention, and he just can't give that. He doesn't need to interact with every single one of his fans. Heck, I'm a fairly sociable person, but I get to a point, as everyone does, where interacting with people is physically and mentally draining. It not fair for thousands of people every day to demand so much of him. He's one guy, and as it states in his blog, it's really overwhelming for him.
Number two, people who assume they know Cry sooooo well, and know evveeerything about him. Well, when you watch someone's videos for a long time, it's nearly impossible to feel like you know someone. Which isn't a terrible crime, but let's face it. We don't know these people. They have their own lives, and their own personalities, and their own way of living and acting when they aren't recording videos. Why don't know Cry. We don't love him for who he is. We can believe we do all we want, but in reality, we don't. We love Cry for his humor and his videos. I'm not saying he's a bad person, what I'm saying is, we don't know him. And he doesn't have the time or the energy to be everyone's friend. Sorry.
Finally, number three is the point I feel strongest about:
For the love of fucking god people, stop treating Cry like a character. He's a real person. Stop writing gory and sexual fanfictions. Stop shipping him with whoever the fuck you please, whether it's PewDiePie or the Reader. Just STOP. It's terrible.
For example, PewdieCry; The most common shipping with Cry. The fanbase is mostly stupid girls. I wouldn't hate that pairing, if it was real. If in some fucked-up parallel universe, PewDiePie and Cry wanna get together, by all means, they can be my guest, I'm happy for them. whatever. But the reason why I hate that shipping so much ( aside from the fact I'm not a huge fan of yaoi as it is, ) is because all those fangirls are "shipping" real people. And even before I read this in Cry's blog, I felt very strongly about this. All those ravenous fangirls treating them like their own characters; In no way take consideration as to how Cry would feel reading some disgustingly inaccurate and crappily written fanfiction involving sex with one of his friends. It's heartless and careless and disgusting. And every single time I read another shitty fanfiction, with Cry having some dramatic backstory, and gore and sex and violence, it makes me lose a little more faith in humanity. In the blog post, Cry mentioned a fanfiction about an abusive father, and fucked-up family. I've read MANY fanfictions like that. They're all the same repetitive shit that end up with PewDiePie and Cry fucking. Another aspect of this whole thing, is that in countless fanfictions, Cry isn't Cry, he's "Ryan". Which isn't only inconsiderate, but down right rude. I can't even imagine how awkward it would be to find a crappily written fanfiction about Scy x Jay Alayna x Maggie, ending it sex or violence or something like that. Cry calls himself Cry for a reason. If he wanted everyone calling him Ryan, I'm sure his channel would be called "Ryan Plays: The World." Plus, I don't understand how people can write that. I find it painfully awkward addressing Cry and PewDiePie as their real names, and unless I meet them in real life, they will always be known know them as Cry and PewDiePie for me.
*Sighs* In short, I feel really bad for Cry. I feel bad that he has to put up with all this crap. I mean, I'm sure he's really happy as a YouTuber, and all the positive fanart and lighthearted fanfiction people write/draw, and that he loves making videos and playing games, but I really feel bad that he can't just do what he loves without all this other stuff. And the worst part is, I feel like it's my fault. Even though I don't write R rated fanfiction or call him 'Ryan', I still feel like I'm partially to blame. Because of all the idiots in this fandom, I'm afraid to be open about the fact that I really like Cry. I'm afraid I'll be seen as just another ravenous fangirl that thinks Cry "Ryan" is my best friend forever.
Basically, the point I want to make is, ( even though you'll never read this, ) I'm so sorry Cry.
I'm sorry for all this shit. I'm sorry you have to deal with all the pressure and constant demands from your fans. I wish there was something insignificant me could to do help.
But since there's nothing I can do, I'm just going to say, thank you; For putting up with all this anyways, and not completely losing faith in us, and always making videos. They're really important to me, and make me laugh all the time. :3 Thank you.
If you're a random person reading this, and you hate me now, I don't really care. Unless you're one of my friends. Then I care.
And if you're a PewdieCry fangirl, I know you're probably thinking, Oh, this girl's such a bitch! Let us ship who we want! BITCH! *Chuckles* Haha. Yes, I'm a bitch. But go shove your hate somewhere else. If you decide to comment anyways, I'm just gonna hide the comment and block you, and regardless,it won't bother me at all, so it's not even worth trying.

I can't agree with you more about all of this. And I wish that there was more people out there who thought about Cry the way you do. It would certainly take stress off of him.
About the fandom of PewdieCry, I mean yaoi is my guilty pleasure along with fanfiction, but not together, and definitely not with real live people. It's like Justin Beiber or one direction fanfiction. It just turns that person into a character that lives in the world of fiction which is just dehumanizes them. Plus pewds and cry, as they make great videos together, just is creepy as a relationship. (Also pewds has a girlfriend which just...yeah...) But honestly if I would pair people it'd be Pewds and Ken. But that's just my opinion as a person looking outward at their relationship as friends...and I'm going to awkwardly slide into the next paragraph...
But what also gets on my nerves the most is when I see comments that say "I'd love you more if you show your face," or "I hate you, but if you show your face I'll like you vids and subscribe." I fight my every urge not to bring out the caps lock and just go on a full blown rant at their stupidity. I mean why watch and waste your time with something that someone took so much time to make for people to enjoy just to tell them you hate them. I mean really? there are hundreds of other youtubers that work like that. And I respect Cry for not showing his face and keeping his life his own.
But I know that I don't know Cry, Ryan, as a person outside of bits and pieces and honestly I don't think I ever want do. I like to watch his videos and smile at the small facts he throws out and remember that he has a life outside of youtube. And that's what I love about watching his videos the most.
Sorry I kind of went on my own discombobulated rant of things that irk me about the human race, and sadly there is no cure to insensitive and stupid people with keyboards that can't type a proper sentence, and want the world to revolve around themselves.
I really don't mean to offend anyone with this. It's just kind of a lot of stuff that I've been thinking about as of late that I wanted to get off of my chest so to speak. And I know the world will never be perfect, but if it was then what would people rant about?

Don't apologize for "ranting". c: I understand, and those comments that demand Cry to show his face drive me insane as well. Plus, the mysteriousness and secrecy of it all kind of add to the fan. Sometimes, I just wanna punch those "fans" for wanting to ruin it.

You make so many fantastic points. I can totally understand what Cry is saying about how all these crazed fangirls write all these stories like they think they know who he is and exactly how he acts. It amazes me how foolish some people are. Honestly, his post makes me ashamed I'd ever written fanfiction about him. I never thought he would do or say the things I made him do or say in my stories. The Cry in my writing is basically the person he casts off on his videos. Not his real being. I really never did think I knew Cry and that he was my best friend. I don't know how someone can get that thought in their head really. I wrote for jokes but now even that feels wrong. Trying to justify manipulating a real person's thoughts and actions just won't work. Your rant is just as thought provoking as his was, friend.

Oh god, I kinda made the same rant myself when I read his venting post. :/ It's just... too much for one guy to take on.
Especially when the obsessed and idiotic fangirls just take him for granted. He's not prime beef to beat into whatever they like. That and omg... the constant creepy comments of girls wanting to have sex from just his voice alone. Yes, his voice is sexy but not enough to try to bang a guy. And then you got them claiming 'he's so fucking perfect'. He's not a bad guy, I can get that feeling he's not one to be bad, but that's not enough to say, 'omg I KNOW him'. No, no I don't. No one does, except the very few people he trusts enough to be friends and even then, they only know a limited amount of his life.
He's a private person, so these people need to give up and tone their shit down. I do ship PewdieCry, but only as friends. Almost like brothers but that's about as far as I go with them in that shipping. There are some that are funny as hell to read, like Flowers for my Valentine but its more of cute fluff, nothing super ass serious, throw each other in a dark room and start fucking mindlessly. That shit is creepy. I like some of the stories but not support the shipping to that extent. Like only like certain songs to a band you don't really give a crap about.
Its just a wonder... why do these people demand so much from him, take and take and take and yet don't want to treat him as an equal... just a doll to make over whatever they want?
Oh... and don't get me started on the White Knights that believe he's like the Holy fucking Grail of the net. He's a grown man, don't need to so tight up against his ass to defend him from haters. Haters gonna hate and there will be haters for every fucking fandom in existence. Suck it up. Do what he does... ignore the haters. Simple! They're like the fucking PETA of the fandom net. Nothing or no one is good for him but them... so they go and attack his friends for some slip up or jealous or whatever else they have stuck up their ass.
This isn't 'loving' Cry, this is smothering the poor guy to death with pillow, screaming 'LOVE ME!'
I'm sorry Cry, we don't know you, but there are some of us that know you need space to breathe. We know we don't 'love' you but your humor, your videos, the fun you bring into them. I wish there was something those of us that get what you're saying, to help you... but all we can do is give you want you wish and that's no demands, no grasping for your attention or 'fame' even though you hate it... just give you space. Leave you be. We're not fans... but viewers as you wish to see us as.
But I got to admit, man... you're very strong to still keep this up, to keep the humorous light tone in your voice as you commentate your Let's plays, your streams. I don't know man... heh, if I was in your shoes... I'd want a break from all the drama.

My thoughts in a nutshell.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I also feel like part of this is my fault. That annoying feeling that even though you don't mean too, you still feel like you're adding to the fire of stress Cry is having by just being a viewer (fan/whatever). You want to help him desperately in some way so he doesn't have to burden all that crap alone and yet... you know you can't. He doesn't like it when people defend him in a overheated and zealous way that you just lash out at everyone around him. Like a White Knight or be viewed as some fangirl that doesn't think twice about what he thinks.
Like you want to hug a person that's gone through some hell but they despise any kind of physical contact. You know it, but you still feel compelled to hug and say its all right. I do want to hug Cry, I do, but not like "squee! 
Or something like that. I'm sure all we want for him is to be happy with what he does, its a hobby... not a chore for him to just waste away on.

Exactly. o n o With that first paragraph... Holy crap you read my mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I tend to do that a lot when it comes to other people's feelings.
Still its just mind boggling at how insensitive inconsiderate people can be over some guy that plays games for fun. I mean don't get me wrong, they're great for uplifting spirits and help people when they're down in the dumps but how the hell do these people think he's some sort of god? I'm not a religious person so I'm just confused.
I don't hate anyone in the community. Not even the fangirls that apparently don't give a shit as long as they have someone to play Ken doll for their sick fantasies. I don't like their attitude towards Cry and his friends but not outright hate their guts and want to snap their necks. I just want to understand how it got this way to begin with.

I don't view Cry as a friend at all, and it makes me so sad that people do. They've never met the guy and he's never met them. But I do view him as a person I'd like to know, because he gives off that vibe. He's spent 24 hours on a stream to donate to a kids' hospital right before a big move. The way he treats the main characters in a game shows that he cares about others and is a kid person. He's even made a very touching video to his niece. So, it gives off the vibe of a man I'd like to have a drink with. What annoys me is that so many people want to 'marry' him and they treat him like some majestic man beast king. No. Cry's just as not-special as everyone else, and nobody knows who he really is. They'd never know until they actually met the man. All I know about him is he's somebody with an infectious laugh, pretty sick reading skills, he likes games with a story, he's worldly, he has a cat, he loves his sister, niece and brother. He didn't have the happiest childhood, he has social anxiety... And he doesn't like coffee. That may seem like a pretty big list but, if I were to write about one of my friends, it would be a page or two long.
That may seem like a bit of a long list, but

Yes, we know random tidbits about the guy, but that doesn't mean we know him. Thanks for being smart. ^^

I hate how people think that they know people!!!
I do like the shipping a bit. But usually only a few of the art and the well written stories.
I don't even think his real name IS Ryan.
I hate the fangirls too.
They always go SHOW YOUR FACE SHOW YOUR FACE SHOW YOUR FACE COME ON CRY I WILL KILL A PUPPY IF YOU DON'T!!
I hate those girls!
I feel bad for Cry too.
Especially about him having that horrible backstory.
I have one close to that but I am not talking about me.
I have talked to people on omegle and people feel the same way.
But there was also some fangirls...
That was all I got. >I

Plus, if he were to show his face, that would totally kill the mystery, and it definitely wouldn't be the same. I couldn't imagine Cry ever showing his face.

I just wish he would notice that there are a lot more fans that actually care and are there to support him than fans who just want to be noticed and think they know him.

I know how you feel. And I'm sure he does notice those fans, and I'm sure he appreciates them. ^^

I read that post too and people don't understand the concept that Cry is a real person. They should show his some respect and dignity.
People don't listen to Cry or Pewdiepie. It just amazes me how inconsiderate some people can be.
I was actually in his livestream chat today when the stream was gone... and people treat that chat area as their own personal merry-go-round.
They were cursing, talking about sex and religion and debating over stupid crap.
I interviened and told them that they have no respect for the guy. Of course they got offended.
But I completely understand where you're coming from and I agree with you on all aspects of the matter.
I like Cry. I think he's awesome, inspirational and it's just chill to watch his vids and be happy about that.
But these people that go ape crazy, don't realize that there's a person there. I feel for him... I feel for you too.
And its odd how you said how you think it's your fault because I feel partly to blame too.
When I first found out about Cry (a few weeks ago actually) I drew him something and sent it to him... three different times.
Granted I was new, but I should have known better. I have a better understanding now and I just back the Hell up and give the guy his space.
Everyone else should do the same damn thing.

You're so right. And yes, people are inconsiderate on the livestream as well. It sucks.
Regardless, it sure is nice to receive intelligent comments~ ^^ Thank you.

i really do agree with you on that cry is just one person and he should be treated as a human being he's just a normal person who likes to share his play through's and such also i dont ship pewdiecry because ,like you said, are real people i mean its fine if others ship them just dont try to force me to ship it. and your right about us not knowing cry its true most fans dont know who he really is we dont now his personal life and for me thats fine and we should respect his privacy and when people call cry by his real name its kind of weird to me....almostly because he wants to be called cry i mean if a person knows him personally then thats an exception....and the other thing the urgs me is when people asks cry to show his face i mean come on there is a reason why he doesnt want to show his face...anyways i better stop before i say anymore i'm probably going to get haters but whatever i'm just stating my opinion
