Let's all take Blindboy seriously now...

.jesus thats a bit weird! maybe change your notification settings!

its important to realise, using logic to explain complex psychological issues wont always lead you to the right conclusion, a lot of the time, it probably wont, theres virtually little or no logic in this world, the human brain and ultimately human behavior is highly complex, emotionally driven, whereby little logic exists....

...ah id say hes been formally diagnosed alright, he certainly knows a lot about the disorder, and i can relate to some of his experiences, he certainly exhibits behaviors of the disorder, similar to myself. the reality is, we re all trying to sell ourselves in one way or another, this is called surviving, we all need to make a living to simply be....

art is highly subjective, it is okay to not like his work, this is the great thing about art, we have the ability to like or not like, and theres an infinite variety of art available to us, for us to enjoy, or not.... but clearly, some do like his work, as i do, to a degree....

He has said it wasn't satire and regrets making it.

this is a fair point, those of us on the spectrum tend to mask a lot, in order to simply fit in, yes its very possible he could be doing so, but this is more than likely unintentionally intentional, we re effectively naturally born actors, apparently autism is very common amongst the acting community due to this.

the reality is, such disorders dont actually give a sh1t what your background is, where you sit on the socioeconomic scale etc, you will find most with these disorders are struggling, and always have, im lucky enough to mix with a wide range of people on the spectrum, some very wealthy, and some in desperate poverty, the common problems, mental health issues, and mental health issues also couldnt give a sh1t who or what you are, where you sit in society, you ll probably find many wealthy people are actually deeply unhappy, and also struggle with mental health issues, difference being, they can get access to the best of care, but yet, they still struggle.....

id argue, theres no real thing as such 'free services', but thats another days work....

I knew blind boy years ago, he's semi streetwise who was great craic and liked acting the clown. I suppose my observation was he seen thing's from a different perspective and would never go so far as to get overtly personal when slagging people off. And would never go too far.

Where he's from doesn't really make a difference, he does what he does like it or lump it.

A lot of the rubber bandit's videos were done on the west side of Shannon town. The original Town up near the crossroads bar, Drumgeely flats etc actually that part of Shannon is like the suburbs of Glasgow or Liverpool,Leeds or somewhere outside of Ireland. I'm surprised that area hasn't been used more in movies etc

Am I the only one who never had a problem with the bag on talk shows etc? My issue was with the character voice being used, it just muddied the message for me.

Keep the bag, he doesn’t want to be well known, or have the hassle of personal fame, but use your own voice.
