So Our Friend Was Getting Bullied On-stream...

No video, but earlier today I was running the raid with a good group of friends. Everything was cool until we got to The Daughters. We ran through it really smoothly despite the problem. Here was the problem: one of my friends decided to stream it. And he had about 70 something people watching it at the time. Now here's the big kicker, his voice sounds like a 12 year old amped on sugar, and everyone began making fun of him about it. Some people started telling him that he'd never beat the raid, that he's trash and he should go back to bed, and pretty much any bad insult you could imagine. This made a lot of us angry. Our fireteam leader (name withheld in case of moderator attacks) started encouraging him. He kept him in the zone, made sure he ignored those guys and that he was calm. Now, here's one thing to consider: he's autistic. So he isn't very good in these situations. And no one in the chat knew that and they just kept being overall (pardon my language) dicks. And whenever he got worked up, he got really emotional and overreacted about every little thing. (Not in the angry kind of way, but in the more [b][i]fearing[/i][/b] scheme of things). We made him turn off the stream, and just kept going. But for that time, he didn't break, and he did fine. He calmed down, and he didn't give up. We never beat oryx, but we plan to kick him in the rear tomorrow. [b]TL;DR[/b] Our autistic friend was getting cyberbullied on stream, and we helped him through it.[spoiler]Please don't leave any hateful comments. Thanks in advance.[/spoiler]

    My neighbors son is autistic, and he is a brilliant sweet person. They have the best heartfelt smiles, and can be the most amazing friend in someone's life. I'm very impressed that you all were able to help him in that stream, you all are wonderful people. I honestly can't stand those who enjoy bullying in any shape or form. Most of the asshats bully because they are filling an insecurity in their life. There should never be any reason to bully...ever. Tell your friend that I know he will kick oryx's butt and he will be one of the few who have....and to be proud. So many others still cannot. Tell him not to let dickheads get to him because he is so much better than they are. Have a terrific day and let me know how you guys do :-). From all of us The First Death Dealers
