Finding out Day[9] is a secret asshole has only endeared him to me

Sorry, but you're no more qualified to say that he's a gentle, down-to-earth guy than I am to say otherwise. But sure, go ahead and try to debunk my legitimate analysis based on life experience and ten years in psychology without any sort of counter-evidence. In that case, this entire thread may as well not exist, since the OP's opinion that Day9 is a saint are no more realistic than my opinion that he isn't.

Please link me to any casts of his that are anything like his current dailies. He casted Broodwar, he played Broodwar, he enjoyed it. He enjoys SC2 too. Nazgul, Artosis, etc all played the Broodwar because they enjoyed it. There's nothing wrong with it. I have no idea if they ever expected SC2 to be as big in the foreign scene as it is. I never once mentioned anything about Day9 anticipating people would start donating him money. What I'm saying is Day9 likely had monetary motivation with his Dailies.

I don't know if it is true that you are a psychologist, but if so you are giving us a bad name. You don't get to just throw analysis around and claim that is founded in any expertise. People are right to call yo out on stuff like that.

There are many things wrong with your "analysis" but I'll keep it simple.

You can't just claim someone pathological with the same ease as other would claim they were normal. The burden of evidence lies with you as you are the one making the extreme case.

You base a so-called legit analysis on impressions you got from show videos and second hand knowledge. Context, context..

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but don't come here and say that you have evidence or expertise. If you have, you certainly haven't put it to use in this case. You ridicule psychology.

I'm sure "Sean" the every day dude is/can be rough around the edges, and more human than he wants his "Day9" personality to be. Unfortunately, the gap between the two makes people wonder, but it's not the worst that could happen. The only thing I ever thought was a bit weird was him asking for donations. It's up to everyone how much they want to engage with his content, and only slightly unfortunate for those who can't avoid him when he casts major events.

In all seriousness though, this thread, and these kinds of threads aren't really useful to anyone. Day[9] publicly states he doesn't read forums anymore, most especially threads about himself, but even if he did, there's nothing constructive here. The takeaway is "don't be a dick", which is a pretty universal message.

Personally, I dont like his casting style, it's extremely fake and sarcastic. (Day9 has said before that there's a "Sean" and a "Day9" persona)

I don`t personally know why this dude day9 is so popular.I tried watching a couple of his shows and he appeared without any doubt the most boring/politcally correct/uninterresting caster out of them all.Seriously is hard to find someone more boring than Day9 in the gaming community.Incontrol would stand a good chance but due to the controversies with Idra,CombatEx and other simmilar stuff+his girlfriend he has become more interesting.Honestly,Day9 does not have any clue of the game,he doesn`t do anything interesting,and he is simply boring.Watching him is like watching a corporatist speaking about a subject he has no connection to.I would rather watch a Orb/Destiny/Incontrol/Grubby cast rather than Day9.Even MC with his bad English is more entertaining than Day9.
About the his behind the scenes behavior,I have heard many rumors of semi-progamers or casters who think they`re Justin Bieber and when somebody ask for an autograph they go on primadonna stance.The main question here is why would anyone want to talk to Day9.he is boring as hell,fake beyond recognition,and he gives automatic politically correct answers.I have seen some tournaments casted by Day9(including the recent one when he was in the parking lot).he seems totally out of place,not collaborating with his co caster and overall a very boring guy.I`ve seen some of his Daylis have like 10k viewers but the real question here is:does anyone actually watch them or they just leaving the stream open for the purpose of helping him because honestly they are boring as hell.
day9 is basicly the embodiment of extreme corporatism brought into the gaming community which once was a liberal,free for all,hipster type of thing.unfortunatelly due to some 20 or 30 viewers who think they represent the community when in fact they are just a small minority people like Destiny/Orb get sidelined while boring corporatist Day9 set the trend for the next generation of succesfull casters.even the koreans are not that strict or politically correct.The model is successfull applied by gretorp,Rotterdam,Khaldor,CatzPijamas,Appolo etc.No wonder Lol is taking over.I for one have a hard time falling asleep when one of these politically corect casters start talking.Even the classic Tastosis duo has more life and entertainment in them than the present day casters.

Just care about the game and stay on TL, and this will almost never be an issue. Usually the first time I hear about drama like this is with threads like this one.
