    I almost feel like I should apologise for voting for Hank's hair, but I think the issue is the Puff reminds me too much of the Pyramid of Frizz that is my own hair. Although I have learned to love my hair, and I do of course admire your Puff greatly as well John, the appeal of the unattainably non-frizzardly inclined Hank Hair swayed me in the end.

    John, because of you I decided to revisit a doctor about my OCD and anxiety. I’m 20 and out of shame I rejected treatment. Then I found your vlogs. Finding out someone with a mental illness can actually accomplish awesome things like you have has inspired me to seek treatment. I’ll never be 100% healed(I had a panic attack today for instance) but now I have a better chance to achieve my goals. I doubt we’ll ever meet but you should know that talking about your illness has actually impacted someone’s life.

    • @L2b1serval
      @L2b1serval 9 лет назад +3

      I also think it's great that John has used his platform to help decrease the stigma around mental illness but it bears pointing out that people like you, who have the bravery to talk about this out of a motivation of sheer gratitude, deserve special recognition and applause.

    • @emilywhiteee97
      @emilywhiteee97 9 лет назад +3

      John's openness about his mental health has really helped me too. I'm not ready to see a doctor yet because my anxiety makes that a really difficult thing for me to do, but knowing that someone I have looked up to for all of my teenage years (I'm now 18) and have respected and admired for all of that time, lives with and handles mental illness so effectively gives me an immense amount of hope and positivity for my future.
      tl;dr same, thanks John

  • @AmeliaBell28
    @AmeliaBell28 9 лет назад +182

    Oh, don't worry John, I took the survey as soon as I watched Hank's video and when I got to question 25, I paused and I said (out loud to myself and my cats, because it was 2 AM and I was in my room) "Well Hank just got that new haircut... but the Puff" and proceeded to vote you. I am also very impressed with how at the Paper Towns NYC premiere, despite the unbearable heat and stress (and the fact that you kept wiping sweat off your face), the Puff remained so remarkably puffy.
    Also, I'm worried that you may have forgotten the Great Batman Debate. I would say that was truly a divisive moment in Nerdfighteria. And while you are correct that we've never been "Team Hank" vs "Team John", we may occasionally be "Team Hank and John" vs "Team John and Hank".

    With the census I felt that a lot of questions asked me whether I did something at school (and not at work), when -- I don't go to school anymore. Like it felt very geared towards a younger audience, which is alright, but I kind of felt left out, I guess? And maybe that's why it looks as if 85% of us were unemployed, because the survey does not ask many things about people with jobs.

    • @manukenkun
      @manukenkun 9 лет назад +4

      Yeah- I felt the same, I also felt super old because I was in the second from top age group. It can't be helped that I'm going to be 42 next month but the survey really did make me feel old!

      @LynxChan 9 лет назад +5

      Claudia Oikawa a lot of us felt that way. I filled out the final question where they ask if you have anything to add by suggesting that they include work categories next time. I mean, they have age categories going up to retirement age, they can't think we're all schoolkids!

    • @speedstacker51

      @thisiskeels 9 лет назад +15

      GoldenJeweler See, this is kind of the problem with how the census is calculating "employed" vs. "unemployed" because you wouldn't technically count as unemployed. To be unemployed you have to be seeking employment, but not currently employed. Not having a job because you're too young, or are supported by your parents, or are a stay at home mom/dad, or you are unable to work, or you have some other means of support, isn't unemployment in the census-y meaning of the word.

    In many ways, the Puff is a symbol of Nerdfighteria. Its resilience and fame is known by the masses and gives unique insight into John's inner emotions. It unifies us in a way that I find deeply profound and somewhat inexplicable. May the Puff reign supreme over hairstyles for years to come.

    Educated and unemployed. I spend most days filling out resumes/questionnaires for employment; then in response to those filled opportunities... I wait. While the internet does make things easier on funding a job search... it does create a dividing wall between employer and hopeful candidate. I do have an opportunity or two in the works, but the standard wait time keeps me in a position that the word "suspense" has nothing on. Day to day progress leans my expectations of my future to a four letter word, fear. Fear leads to hope. I hope for a better future that is gained through my persistent goal of my own personal set marks of success. To live in fear when I have done everything expected of me is something I see in too many people.

    Sorry, John. I already voted for Hank's hair, mostly because Your hair has been in power for too long. I believe in change and term limits. And now that I think of it, I was at your Industry keynote at Vidcon. You addressed a room full of ~1,000 of the people who had paid the most to come to Vidcon with wet hair. Your speech was great, as usual, and I know you were under a lot of stress with Paper Towns opening. But if you want to hang on to your hair status, you can't phone it in. You gotta earn it.

    • @kuyaleinad4195
      @kuyaleinad4195 9 лет назад +72

      If it was going to be capitalist vs socialist, capitalism is an older concept like John's puff is an older concept. Therefore, John's Puff= Capitalist. John's rising and falling puff is also the same as the risings and fallings of a capitalism's stock market.
      Hank's Haircut is a newer concept like socialism. The fact that Hank fully controls his hair is the same as the fact that Socialist states had very strong state control. This is unlike John's puff of which John doesn't really control the puff level.
      I hope this analysis helped :)

    Dammit. I already filled out the census survey, and I voted for Hank's hair not really thinking about it much. I should have voted for John. John, you're right, you're hair is much more iconic and has much more personality. What the heck was I thinking?
    On the plus side, I'm happily employed as an English Teacher in Japan. I guess I'm in the 15% of working Nerdfighteria. Actually, my guess is a lot of Nerdfighteria is students still. I know I was until recently. That might explain the high percentage. Maybe it would be better to have a way for people to report that they are students etc. instead of just asking their income.

    • @untappedinkwell
      @untappedinkwell 9 лет назад +1

      Alanna R. I think that'd be really difficult to do, because there are so many places to be active in nerdfighteria. There's all of the various video channels that the vlogbrothers have a hand in (and their comment sections), ways to connect on tumblr and twitter and facebook and the ning and in your pants, not to mention IRL nerdfighter groups and meet ups, and I imagine there are as many active nerdfighters as there are ways to connect, if not more. Not to mention that DFTBA employs a bunch of nerdfighters, who get paid to help increase awesome and decrease suck for their jobs... so... much more complicated.
      Maybe you'd have to expand the number or specify like... nerdfighters connecting from x.
