Drew DeVault once again has no idea what he is talking about. He is now white knighting Terry Davis saying that 4chan trolls contributed to his further decline in his mental health.
We still don't know if Terry's death was from suicide or purely accidental. His further mental decline happened due to homelessness and that seemed to mostly steamed from further tensions with his father, as Terry was filming his parents and publishing the videos online without their permission, and his dad was tired of him constantly using racial slurs.
Though trolls did provoke him, Terry actually seemed to enjoy livestreaming with his audience. Most of his anger came from people he thought were incompetent, not people trying to provoke him. I don't think any of that contributed to his mental decline.
It wasn't like Chris Chan where people tried to provoke him into doing stupid shit and getting him and his family in trouble. Terry "did it to himself". He was kicked out because his Dad was sick of his behavior, got arrested at one point, and got kicked out of a library for poor hygiene just hours before his death (which may have caused him to kill himself). Terry was a ticking time bomb. He was an unemployable, mentally ill, middle aged man living with his parents who were in their 90s. Even before he got kicked out, I felt that he wouldn't last long after his parents inevitably pass.
While I can't speak for Kent Overstreet, this is another example of Drew revising stories to make it fit his agenda.
@GD5426 Yeah. I remember him refusing to take therapy sessions and even refused to take his meds at one point and became a heavy smoker instead. But from what I've heard, schizo meds have terrible side effects such as loss in productivity and slurred speech, so there's that.
