Shame on You, Internet
As an Internet, we should be ashamed of ourselves. Here we have a wholesome YouTuber granny making her Skyrim videos and we are stressing her out. It is not unheard of for a YouTuber to rant and lash out at their fans and viewers over stress and stuff, but Shirley “Skyrim Grandma” Curry is above all that. Instead she made a vlog venting to her fans about the troubles she is facing in a very calm, but serious manner. She is going to be recording fewer videos in order to focus on herself.
In a very direct and prepared speech, Shirley tells us that her health is becoming a big concern; she does not sugarcoat it. Her stress levels are at an all time high, and these days a lot of people are feeling more stressed than usual. The comments section of her videos aren’t helping either. Most of us avoid the comments like the plague, but Skyrim Grandma likes to engage with her viewers, like the sweet lady she is. However, some of the comments are becoming increasingly condescending, trying to explain the game to her, or are annoyed with the way she plays.
“I have played Skyrim for years,” Shirley says. “And I know about the HUD, I know about the different mechanics, how to play the game, and I don’t have to be reminded and told all the time.” Nobody likes a backseat-gamer. Unless you have come to bring kind words to her, you can Fus-Rit-OFF. We hope Curry puts her health first and is eventually able to make the kinds of videos she wants.
How do you think Shirley handled her grievances with the comments? Let us know in the comments below.
