What's worse - the fact that he may have been pretending to use a wheelchair, or the fact that his viewers were only giving him donations because he was in a wheelchair, and NOT because they enjoyed his content?
If you ask me, those falsely sympathetic assholes that were racking up personal karma points and telling themselves they are such good people by giving money to the guy in the wheelchair are just as bad, if not worse, than the guy himself. Also, there are cases where people use wheelchairs and do have limited mobility (walking short distances, standing for short periods) etc.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Umm.. It's fraud. It's dishonest. His mislead his stream viewers and contributors. It wasn't just him either. His girlfriend and parents were in on the gig too. He's just a horrible creep and his actions speak volumes about his character.
but more importantly, his actions directly impact REAL people in wheelchairs who sometimes really do need help. You know the saying, one bad apple spoils the bunch. I never even heard of this guy until I saw Kripp's video, but still.
What's next, are you going to defend street thugs beating up children on Halloween to take their candy? --- because it's "none of our concern"?

Patiently waiting for Fox News' sensational "divine intervention!" article  .
The Diablo wanted the guy to stay ill, but lord jesus intervened during the stream and made things right defeating the devil himself \o/ (because all the video games are evil)

How exactly is it fraudulent and dishonest? I fail to see what a GAMING STREAM site has to do with the fact that he may or may not use a wheelchair?
People are supposed to donate on the merit of enjoying the content he's streaming, not because some chick has big tits, or some guy is using a wheelchair. It's the donator's fault for being a fucking sap and trying to rack up karma.
Whether or not he's paralyzed is completely irrelevant to the situation at hand.

... Well, generally, when you say something is true when it isn't, you are being dishonest  |
Alright, so I'll give you the dishonesty point. But fraud would imply that the money was earned on the basis of his condition rather the content of his stream.

He begged people online for money & donations to pay for his new wheelchair.
He then begged for money & donations to pay for games because he can't work because of his injuries and needs a hobby.
If someone supported him because of his stream, that's OK but when he asks his viewers for money to buy a new wheelchair and he's not even handicapped - that's dishonest and it's fraud. Legally, it may not be an issue in most areas, but ethically it certainly is.
BTW, I saw the exact quote about big tits etc.. in another post from someone called "Amhai". Are you him or just copying his posts?

Not fraud per se, but seriously asshole behavior. Pretending to be handicapped to get money, that's just low.
I mean, the poetic justice would be if he got his fat ass out of that chair to go and buy snacks to eat and got hit by a car, or a bus, and got disabled for real... That would be a fitting justice imo...

Not him, and this is the only forum I frequent, so no. But I suppose great minds think alike, so he must be a sharp fellow!
I guess that does put it in a different light if he specifically pandered to get said things (in an effort to help solidify the scheme). Still, donations are donations. There are tons of supposed non-profits out there that scam and scheme away hundreds of millions of dollars from people for the personal gain of one or two in the orginization, and no one seems to care, as long as they send them a pen or knick-nack once a year in the mail.
