Prince Ea has done some frickin' dodgy things. Here are several of them.

It sucks that someone who has done some great work, like raising awareness for a charity, also causes so many serious problems.

    I think Prince Ea was trying to say that people who suffer from depression shouldn't define themselves by the condition, since that will only worsen the problem. Instead they should try to view themselves in ways that will give them strength to combat their depression. He wasn't trying to deny the legitimacy of the suffering. He was trying to give advice that would possibly help people ease their suffering.

    "I do not have sources. The sources come, the sources go" - Prince EA probably

    I love that Dave is both very articulate and informative but also can just randomly make a Bigfoot joke

    In all seriousness, I ignored my depression for years because I thought it was normal, because people with the same mindset of Prince Ea kept telling me that it was normal, it would go away, “why are you letting this get to you”, etc. It DESTROYED my mental health. Not to mention I had undiagnosed ADHD, and had people telling me I was slow, lazy, and dumb. People who thought like Prince Ea made IRREVERSIBLE damages to my mental health. To anyone reading this, STOP TELLING PEOPLE “EVERYONE DEALS WITH THIS”.

    The problem with this Prince EA is that he says things really confidently, and in a way that you just WANT to believe him. A lot of people don’t look up things that they see on YouTube which leaves them to spred this false information
  • SHIT SHIT SHIT, HOME BASE IS BEING ATTACKED BY PRINCE EA FANBOYS. PREPARE THE DEFENSES! LOGIC, RATIONALITY AND COMMON SENSE!
  • @rdashian6475
    Saying to a depressed person to just appreciate life and all the good things that happen is like to say to a person with asthma that there's plenty of air around them
  • @edwardlewis1119
    In regards to the depression video, all I can say is "Prince Ea, you don't suffer from depression. Don't tell those who do what it's like." Ironically, we can rephrase this as "You are not depressed. Stop it.".
  • @nerd4319
    Telling a person with depression to be happy and go lucky all the time is telling a person choking to breathe. It don't work like that. Trust me. I have been told that so many times-

    What’s funny is that Prince EA wouldn’t have his job if we didn’t have technology
  • @kenadams0718
    I was a fan of Prince Ea and believed everything blindly. Thank you Dave for showing what the truth really is.
