    If you feel able, you can support Mental Health America by using the donation link next to this video! MIND are UK only, so ultimately went with MHA for this one like we did last time!
    Thank you boomfish for providing screenshots of JoCat's community post (note that JoCat's commission offer is no longer available):
    *JoCat* *Community* *Post* *1* - due to the process I've been going through to ensure my and my family's safety after the doxxing incidents, I've been put in a bit of a financial tight spot, but I don't want help without providing something in return so I am temporarily opening up art commissions until next week.
    Please send all inquires to (commission email account - no longer active)
    In addition, I'll also be taking Cameo requests for the next week as well. Happy to say some fun things in my own voice, JoCrap, or any of the voices I do in my streams of D&D campaigns.
    *JoCat* *Community* *Post* *2* - you guys really are too much you know that? thank you all I'm going to fulfil as many of these commissions as I can by next week, but seriously thank you, your kindness does not go unnoticed

      Just for reference MHA is a good group to donate to. Less than 7¢ of every dollar goes to overhead (running website and paying staff) while 93¢ goes towards helping those with mental illnesses. This money is spent helping people get diagnosed, getting people treatments, creating advocacy groups, and supporting local medical services with resources. MHA discloses 100% of it's funding and where it uses the money. Hope this helps you be more informed.

      I wouldn't even call it a roast. To me, that term evokes a kind of friendly insult among friends. Or a staged event. Either way, the intent is very much for the subject to laugh along with everyone. And everyone involved has a sense of what's fine to joke about or what's off limits.

      It is anti-community to refuse to accept help. it is paternalistic and nothing more than a symptom of capitalism-induced trauma.
      It is nothing to celebrate, but rather should be recognized for the obvious self-harm it is.
      Refusing to let people take full responsibility for how they want to help you and ensuring that it must always remain transactional is a good way to feel so isolated to begin with that when you get hatemobbed you feel so alone that you just step away from content altogether.
      workaholism and self flagelation are not admirable, they are tragic, and those who care for JoCat should always say as much.

    I had just gotten back into DnD after 25 years away and stumbled onto Jo Cat's Crap Guide to DnD and proceeded to laugh my tail off. The man is awesome and deserves every bit of support he gets. Things like his Crap Guide to DnD, DnD Shorts, and Critical Role's Handbooker Helper really helped me learn 5E and reinvigorated my love for the game. My deepest and sincerest thanks for all the content that both makes me smile and sparks my imagination

      To explain exactly what drove him away, during a BG3 stream forever ago he sung a parody of a verse from Lizzo's song Boys. Basically he sung about how all types of women are beautiful. Eventually it was animated and uploaded as "I Like Girls" on his channel.
      Then as the other commenter pointed out, Twitter happened. He was attacked, harassed, all of that stuff because the song is "disgusting" and "misogynistic" and whatever else Twitter threw out just to have an excuse. It was frankly terrible to see.

    His goblin videos would make me laugh after a long day of work. His songs and cameos with other dnd youtubers was enjoyable.
    I still listen to his I like girls which I am still convinced he made so he could be in a video with all his Waifus lol.
    I can't express enough how much Jocat helped me get into dnd and just to relax after a long day. I wish him the best and though he will never see this.
