Yeah, except for the goon ordering the lasagna, people joining his weird discords..Sure.

It's totally not a slippery weird stalky slope. It was fun while the guy had a weird restaurant..now he's just a mentally ill failson, and while I think that's inherently funny, this thread kinda went into a different direction from "HEY,LOOK AR THIS GARFEEL RESTAURANTEUR"

It's a fair cop to some extent, Futanari Damacy, and I for one will try to save any further posts ITT for more deserving excesses (e.g. any new episodes of Nathfield).

Thanks for the generally constructive criticism (though it appears you misspelt GOLDMINE as :gas:).

I'd genuinely like to know the principle that says laughing at GarfieldEats was OK, but laughing at egeez, his podcast, and his forthcoming cereal-box-cum-color-booking art installation is not.

Ordering a mail-order lasagna from a company that sold mail order lasagnas is not "loving with the dude" IRL. I genuinely wanted to eat it (and would have had he shipped it to me).

E: Also that was like 2 years ago when GarfieldEats was still open (or maybe had just closed, I forget)

I do think the thread is lovely from time to time, occasionally people make fun of him struggling with his sexuality which isn't cool, and people get really weird about his looks. However I think the majority of the thread content is absolutely making fun of his idiotic business ventures, and I have seen probes for people being lovely so it's not like bad posts don't go unpunished.

Its less being weird about his looks and more being weirded out by that look he does in nearly every photo.

Oh 100%, I am fully on board with laughing at that poo poo, especially because it was him trying to damage control after he went ballistic over The Gay Superman Kiss. But I have seen some people in this thread seemingly make fun of him for struggling with being gay in general, which like, isn't cool imo. That being said, it doesn't happen all that often, and most posting is just laughing at his dumb ideas / meltdowns.

also for the record we don't hate him or wish him ill (which is what the kiwifarms comparison implies). he's an unlikable weirdo but the reason this thread continues is he does unexpected very unique things. and yes if he was poor instead of rich that would give a different angle to this but he seems like he's just going to keep doing his thing and if we think it's funny then so be it. obv., don't touch the poop

I felt genuine empathy for Nathen at the start of his four-part video series when he described his struggles. (Good luck getting that out of KF folks.) He then moved on to how the cereal boxes he's colored over will change the world. That is objectively amusing, and the posters in this thread are recognizing that without taking it to some sort of weird or inappropriate territory (exceptions may apply as I did not memorize every post ITT and I know some people have been punished for transgressions, but still, far healthier behavior in this thread than implied).

The online description of the book mentions it's about his struggle with bipolar disorder.

Nowhere in the entirety of the book is the word "bipolar" used once, nor does he ever mention seeing a therapist or getting diagnosed with any kinds of mental illnesses / disorders.

The most exciting thing about those auctions is that it ended up bringing me to his auction of the huge Garfield plush from 2020, where he said all the proceeds would be donated to sickkids, and I think at the time I thought that was a Nathenism but now I see there really is a charity called SickKids (and, astoundingly, as far as I can tell, he is not the owner of said charity)

Indeed Googin' the only real connection between the two besides that auction is, well,

Frank Frank posted:

It's also worth noting that although the Garfsagna is listed as its own item on the store page, there is a permanent "ORDER ONLINE LASAGNA" button embedded at the top of the page no matter where you navigate on-site along with a button that ominously reads "DONATE SICKKIDS"
