I cried watching that.

I never directly interacted with Josh but I watched his streams a lot through a very dark, difficult period in my life. I was so alone and down.

Having him chattering away in the background kept me company and on more than one occasion kept me on track for getting chores and cooking and looking after myself done.

If it wasn't poop touching I would absolutely reach out to Clint to tell him how his son helped me, albeit inadvertently,to face my own personal struggles in the most trying time of my entire life and helped me to get through that, and to come out the other side.

No person should bury a child but a Father burying a Son is especially heinous and cruel. I have lost a son myself but the situation was not the same as Clints. I cannot imagine his pain but his tribute to his boy was touching , heartfelt and deeply human.
 
Josh probably knew, but who knows what went on in his Boglim brain.
I'm happy that Clint knows now though.
I think the amount of support has been so big that he has to.
And also he wouldn't have done this stream I don't think if he didn't know.

It was a really nice memorial. He did a good job.
It was a nice send off.

Still bummed I'll never get cobra content again tbh even though thats kinda selfish.
He was really the only person/'lol cow' that I consistently followed (for years) and I'll miss him yootoobz, but I digress..

Clint's previous video announcing Josh's passing, he did mention that Josh did appreciate his fans and was aware that he had them. But I wonder if he got them twisted at times. I remember a stream where someone DoorDashed like... 3 handles of rotgut Vodka, and his response was 'some fan sent me this', but it was obvious to everyone watching they were trying to hurt him for their own entertainment.

Sadly that's correct, there are those stories of donations of equipment he never used, so you kinda had the feeling he only acknowledged or cared about booze and the like, so his way of distinguishing fans from trolls wasn't exactly on point - Clint's story about the hot sauce bottles kinda softens that blow, mind. It's super comfy.

But after his death, you're left with a 'what if?', which I imagine a lot of fans feel. But if Clint couldn't do it, who could? The takeaway is that if you felt these feelings it means you have some humanity.

Man, you have no idea how good reading that feels. You know, in that bittersweet, "you're not alone" way, I'm glad you read that and replied, and I'm thankful for this thread and all of you cobros being a thing. I know it's ultimately not about us though, and I hope Clint and the family come upon their closure soon. Still. Thank you.
 
Man, truly heartbreaking stuff.
You can see that Clint really cherishes the moments he had with Josh growing up, as difficult as they may have been at times, and i'm thankful he decided to share some of his stories with Josh as a farewell.

RIP Cobra.
 
Only interacted with Cobes once, late Dec 2023 or early Jan 2024.
Live stream, there was an avalanche of troll comments which was pretty appalling most of them.
So I wrote something like "UK Cobra fans representing" to cheer him up
or something, and said yeah TWU.
 
There's various people I follow and watch on YouTube and other social media. I really, deeply regret I never took the time to tell Josh how much what he did helped me in its own little way.

This has taught me that I should make the time to tell people I appreciate them.

He was a genuine, completely himself dude who was never apparently spiteful or malicious, unlike so many others. He was true to himself and lived unapologetically. People could learn a lot from his example.

I sincerely wish Clint and his family peace and healing.
 
I'm glad Josh got such a great sendoff. I don't think Clint will ever see this, but I'll still say: thank you, Clint, for making this video. I pray for you and your family. I know all too well the pain of the loss you're feeling. I can only imagine how hard putting all of this together was for you.

And for the various pieces of shit from Reddit and Discord that chose to torment Cobes right up until the end of his life: just know that you'll get your recompense. When you choose to cause pain, when you choose to put that kind of awful energy into the world, it will come back on you. Not because of any nonsense like karma or some sort of spiritual power, but instead just because being such a terrible person drives others away from you. When you live a life of spite, it naturally drives others away. And when you die, which we all will, you won't find people mourning you like Josh had in his death. Instead, you'll die alone. No one will mourn you. No one will remember you. You will die alone, with no tears shed for your end. I hope you can see the response that Cobes' death has received and maybe change your ways, maybe realize that what you did was wrong. But then again, you did it for years, so maybe you're just incapable of that kind of self-reflection. And if you can't change your ways, well... I'm just glad you'll be getting what you deserve in the end.

I'm barely into it and this COL done got me fucked up rotten.
God I miss our Boglim
And you think you may hate Reddit enough but you really really don't.
 
I always knew Clint was a amazing father and I'm glad others are seeing it too. The people who would relentlessley mock him and blame him for Josh's behavior and problems were to me, always man babies with no responsibilities and definitely no children. You can't understand what it's like to be a parent of a child like Josh and lord Almighty every time I'd see our boy having a crash out a part me would feel bad and also admiration for Clint because I know how hard and what dedication it took to be a parent to him. That said Josh was definitely quite unique amongst lolcows, he had the ability to make you empathize with him no matter what ridiculous things he was saying or cooking lol. Most of these online people I slip into hate watching them into just stopping out of sheer agony, like DSP or Wings of redemption, people that you laugh at initially then start to loath for being such self centered egotistical scum bags. Josh was never that way he just was who he was and didn't really care rather you watched or not and we know this from the countless times he'd pass out and stream himself sleeping for hrs or be ranting into the void because the stream muted itself lol. There was something special about our boy that can't be replicated. KingcobraJFS "Too weird to live, Too rare to die" he will be immortalized through his YTchannel.

Just finished watching the memorial video, and I don't even get what people are talking about when they say, "Clint made it about himself."

Me neither. He would inevitably need to talk about himself at some point as he was naturally a large part of his son's life. He also provided some much needed context to why he has to distance himself a little bit. Nevertheless, the ClintBadDadGroupHome loops will continue.

Clint also explicitly said he would not be playing Ozzy and other copyrighted shit because he knew YouTube would rip it down immediately.

It was lovely to see how impactful Josh was with his step-family. Tanis did a wonderful job of filling in where Cobes' biological mother either couldn't or wouldn't. His sister was also clearly devastated by his passing, so the sicko allegations there are predictably completely unfounded.

Yeah, Cobes was a sexy goth badboy who played by his own rules, but talking about him in isolation would just be rehashing the Cobes we're already familiar with. His interactions with his family were as much a part of his life as his yt content. We just never got to see it before.

I don't think it would hurt to let Clint know. As for myself I held off because he didn't want to be contacted but he said he is reading dms now if they're nice and if you have a nice story like that I think he would appreciate it. As long as you aren't trying to like, add him.

PL, as a father myself this celebration of life completely fucked me up. I did not expect to cry this much during a memorial service of a lolcow, but here I am. If anything, it really goes to show that no matter how weird your kid might be, as long as you love them and do everything in your power to make them feel loved you are doing okay. I was confused for some time as to where Clint was when catastrophe x or y was happening, but I think I get it now. I should have gotten it earlier I guess, but it took seeing Cobes as a little kid to really understand.

I don't know, I am rambling. My heart goes out to Clint and the rest of Cobes' family.

Hug your kids, make them feel loved, tell them you love them even if they get on your nerves a lot and, well, celebrate them I guess. Twu
