Mirrion Rizzons 12,071 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Since news broke last night of the unfortunate passing of Rick Genest (Zombie boy) Gaga's Born this way video has received over 800,000 views. This is the most daily views the video has received since probably around march 2011. Hundreds of users are posting comments that are showing support to those who are suffering from mental illness as well as their condolences to Rick and his family. It was such a tragic death but again It's a lesson learned for all of us to reach out to those who we believe need help and to reach out for help if we need it personally. Together, like Gaga mentioned on twitter, we should really bring these issues to the forefront and talk about how we feel and know that It is okay to reach out. It is also really endearing to see such positivity in the comment section and throughout all social media outlets. It really shows how we can all work together to fight and tackle this issue and that we really are capable of spreading positivity instead of hate in every day life. Rest In Peace Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting cause in all the news articles I kept only seeing that his friends and family should have talked to him when he started getting tattoos cause he must have been already "damaged" and they kept saying awful things about Gaga and how she's using his death to get promo.... I hate internet honestly... I'm the bitch that's fragile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginald 13,841 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm glad that, through Gaga and many others, the world got to see such a unique and inspiring person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk but we've had a couple of patients that commited suicide after their cancer came back because they couldn't take another fight but no official statement on the cause of that has been issued as of yet so it's just my speculation that this might be one of the reasons...

How come i haven't seen that in any article?! he died age 32 but he got a tumor before the tattoos, but he's had the tattoo's for a long time (over 7 years bc he had them before BTW) and if you defeat cancer it can return within 5 years so I'm not really sure. Maybe he got it again a few years ago and was fighting it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate internet honestly... How does these people can harbor so many prejudices and hatred towards other individuals? People really lack consciousness and empathy, especially on internet. So starry eyed on the flowery hillside, breathless and fervid amid the dandelions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a pity... They're indeed taught to be careless and rude towards other people. There's a kid in my school (1st grade, elementary school) who behaves and talks like he were 15 and is very rude (even use swearwords) and the teacher says that when you meet his mom, you understand why he's like that. Many people are raised to be insentive and "tought" and with the safety that internet provides you with anonymity everybody is brave enough to bully anyone without real consequences. Really scary.
