I know this is a Reddit thread, but... this is basically an English translation of something that gave me the "right in the feels" sucker punch more than most things I've read in the last few years.

It's a real life story of a boy with muscular dystrophy; whose parents chided him for his habits and seeming addiction to gaming, only to learn - after his death - that he had a close knit group of friends online, who were basically like family - and came from around the world to attend the funeral.

Hit me right in the feels. People do a terrible job of understanding, nay, even going towards dismissing that which doesn't feel "normal" or out of their own experience; and it often comes down to disproportionately affecting those who are already suffering and need an escape mechanism.

So, yeah - go and read this.
