Localscriptman was a YouTuber whose main focus was about making videos on the creative process behind writing. Creating characters and story lines, understanding personality and motivations, and just practical advise for the screen-writing industry, all with the help of MSPaint stick figure drawings. He was a YouTuber who I watched a lot and kept up to date with, until recently. Something happened behind the scenes and suddenly this creative writer is suddenly an AI dickrider, spewing a bunch of hateful talking points, and moving out of LA because the movie industry "doesn't accept" people like him(I can't remember his exact words here, and I'm not in the mood to fact check those hateful videos).

His content was very well researched dives into story work and character work, but his latest videos after he's come back are minute long rants in his car about how the movie industry is going to shit because he saw one movie that was bad(It was the new F1 movie). He also made a video about the new Superman movie with an AI generated thumbnail, complete with complaining about how the dialogue was bad, the movie didn't make sense, and how children won't like it. All of those points being complete bullshit from someone who has lost the plot entirely aside, I genuinely feel really bad for the guy.

There's is not any trusted sources on his actual well being that I'm aware of, but it seems like he had some sort of rejection from the industry he has spent years trying to break into, and is now on some sort of downward spiral. All of his content that I've been able to stomach watching just seem like manic rantings. I am genuinely concerned for his health, mental and physical. It's quite hard watching someone in that sort of headspace, which is why I haven't watched any of his content since, but there is a small of me that wants to see a video on my feed that just says "Hey guys sorry about that, I was in a bad place mentally" and then continue on with whatever he was doing before. I don't even care if he stops making videos all together, as long as he's in a better place, that's all I want.

hope you live, laugh, love soon man
