“A California-based YouTube star has raised a staggering $130,000 (€122,000) for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) after appealing to his followers to donate.
Markiplier, real name Mark Fischbach, launched his GoFundMe page on Monday. In less than a day, he smashed the $100,000 (€93,700) target.
Announcing its launch at the start of the week, the 27-year-old said in a statement, ‘Today we stand by our LGBTQ+ friends to ensure equality for EVERYONE! Please help us raise $100,000 for the Human Rights Campaign to ensure the future stays bright and open for all!’
It’s not the first time he has turned to his following to help do good. He previously raised over $275,000 (€257,600) for Depression and Bipolar Support, among other charities.”
It’s literally so annoying hear 15 year olds and younger complain about being virgins and haven’t been kissed. It shows how sexualized society is and how much pressure young teens get for not doing these things. And it’s just so funny to me because you know the people who are mostly forcing them? Grown people. Grown people show it and advertise it in teen shows with actors who are 37 and have these baby teens feeling inadequate about themselves because they aren’t doing what “teenagers should be doing”. And saying things like “you haven’t dated yet?”, “you haven’t kiss yet?”, “you haven’t had sex yet?” to 15 year olds! And I have to say that’s not normal, it’s not normal for a 13-15 year old teenager to feel sad about not having sex. It’s just uncomfortable in my opinion. And I know I have really young followers too, so I’m just gonna tell you, you are not NOT normal for not having sex, not dating, not being kissed, not doing anything intimate at all. You are still so young, don’t feel the pressure from society. Just focus on you and forget about anyone else. And that is hard, but think of it as a “at least it wasn’t me” thing when you see the worse situations happen possible when you see people in relationships. It’s okay.
