Damn going to miss it. Cucked by sleep.

I'm pretty sure the highlights are gonna get clipped, so sleep well my cobro

Cobes was the type of internet character I showed the normies in my life, not a sicko or a monster like so many modern lolcows.
the internet is a worse place without him

 

[Vapid_Idiot]

Cobes was more influential than Charlie Kirk

 

[Nana Feeder 9k]

Cobes was more influential than Charlie Kirk

By a lot.

I'm not sure if anybody's posted about this recently since the thread's moving so quickly, or if it's more fitting for the wplace containment thread, but Casper is mostly covered in green and black, and a ton of Cobes pixel art stuff. I'm probably being overly sentimental and gay about it, but it's kind of cool. The BOY left his permanent mark on the internet and that's something most people can't say.

Spoiler: Casper on wplace currently

I've been thinking about this a lot, and it makes me wonder what it means to be a "fan" of Cobra.

As his dad said in the Clinterview, Josh is very funny -- often unintentionally. By appreciating that unintentional humor, were people laughing "at" him rather than "with" him? Can you consider yourself a "fan" if the subject isn't in on the joke?

What's the term for that when someone enjoys an entertainer (for lack of a better word) for reasons other than what that entertainer intends? Do you consider yourself a "fan" of Cobra? Was I a fan?

That's actually a great question. I'd consider myself a fan of Josh because I felt like I laughed *with* him rather than at him. On some level, those who follow lolcows are trolls but I think there's a stark difference between being a troll, a ween and an a-log.
Glass tapping should be discouraged, IMHO, but not all glass tapping is bad. Sending Josh a pizza and a glitter bomb is trolling, going to visit him like Mr. Green did is (positive) weenery and visiting him like homeboy Aaron is negative weenery. All three previous examples are on a different level than the people actively wishing death upon a cow, sending them duster or alcohol or something similar that has a negative effect or negative outcome of some kind.
Sending hamster bedding is trolling and annoying but it doesn't result in harm on our boy. Giving NAL money to visit Cobes in person was malicious and had a lot of negative effects on the Cobraverse as a whole, and while I got to see Josh smile more than ever in the first day after she forced her way into the 'verse, I would rather she never bothered him in any way.

I can't speak for others but I generally disliked when Josh would have meltdowns, if they were somehow caused by others. "Smoke you till you're DEAD!" is a classic but it took me a while to see the funny in watching a drunken retard being miserable on camera. You could call that trolls remorse, I guess.

Maybe reach out and ask josh's dad if it's okay. Maybe even help him set up a rumble

He's said specifically hes not reading any messages sent to him.

Don't try and make this a big spectacle and force Clint to play A/V Club on the day of his kids funeral. Let him be involved with Cobes's online life as much as he wants. It's not our job to help him engage.

Just cause I don’t want anyone to sound retarded, there is no such thing as a fall solstice. It’s an equinox = equal day and night.. Solstice is the longest and shortest days of the year. No hate on Clint, I know he must be suffering.

 

[Shon&Saunders666420]

Cobes was such a breath of fresh air for me from narcissistic lolcows like DSP. Even those in the goutverse enjoyed Josh and his antics more than phil, and that's when I really started to get into Cobes more through people like tevin and an1337. Unlike phil, I think Cobes actually appreciated all his fanboys and fangirls and he was actually funny.

 

[Marketable Bootleg]

This is from Clints Facebook. This honestly fucked me up.
I think this is honestly, and I mean this sincerely, Clints most artistic photo. The peak of his photogrophy is all right here. It perfectly encapsulates the end of Josh's journey. This fucking picture just broke my heart all over again dude.

Edited to add gay emotions.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but what's in the small urn next to Cobe's?

I just hope nobody expects something amazing or earthshattering from Clint's tribute. I just realized, in all my worrying about swatting or trolls, it will most likely just be a father with a slideshow. And that's fine, I just don't think it will be as big of a tribute some think it will be. I doubt it will even have live chat on. Regardless, I'll be there, no matter how cringey, with a drink combo in hand.

I don't think anything could top Hax$'s wake in terms of how uncomfortably authentic it was. I have high hopes Cobe's sendoff will be more casual and sombre yet true to what he would've liked. I bet it'll just be Clint sitting in Cobe's armchair chillin' with the fans and sharing stories.

Here's the healed tattoo I got of Cobes. (sorry for it being a bit blurry its hard to take the photo myself.)

This doesn't look bad at all and looks more "American traditional" than iDubbbz' wife's bathroom stall graffiti.

It's scheduled guys, today's the day

At 12:50 in the vid Josh gives us some posthumous advice to feel better about an artist/creators death and raise spirits when feeling sad over their passing.

Clearly Josh is talking about Ozzy here, but his own advice serves well to his own fans now that he as passed.

I thought today of all days was a good time to remind everyone of his advice on the matter of a creators death.

My apologies, I hadn't kept up all that much, and I only wanted to help make sure the flagging assholes didn't strike it down on youtube.

Deleted my post.

 

[cobra fucker]

I discovered Cobes while newly disabled and in agony with a spinal injury. I absolutely would not still be here if it weren't for his videos cheering me up. I would refresh youtube all day long looking for his live notifications. I found this site full of people who I know loved his antics just as much. Thank you, Clint, for giving us this closure.

 

[Giant Machine]

Charlie and Cobes' memorial on the same damn day is gonna be emotionally draining for sure. Damn.

 

[Large Deborah]

I found Cobes shortly after the hair dye video, and he remained a regular part of my life ever since. I hate watch a lot of cows but Cobra was different, in a world filled with the likes of DSP and Cyraxx, the boglim was a breath of fresh air.

 

[JaneThough]

Since we’re sharing our Cobragin stories: I found him through Kate Winslet’s videos way back when the ALR forum was active. Checked in here and there but the thread could move so fast I couldn’t keep up. I had just peeked in again when that first “wait, there’s a medical emergency in Casper, this is Cobes address right?” was posted.

I didn’t follow him as closely as other cows but his death hit me hard. I cried that whole weekend. I think in part I could see a bit of me in him, and a bit of me I wish I could be. The way he lived unapologetically should be inspiring to all, and the talents we’ve learned about since his passing are a true tragedy.

In the end, Josh did own our sad, pathetic lives. And for those of you who sent him booze? Don’t breathe clear yet. The wheels of justice move steadily but slowly. If it’s not tangible justice by way of the courts, karma is coming too.

 

[Jew and Women Hater]

It’s been nearly 12 years since I discovered Cobes. I’m still in shock that he’s gone, and I’m heartbroken for Clint. I’ll be there for when the memorial goes live, Toobz.
