McLoughlin is a prominent Irish content creator and is known for raising awareness about mental health. Mental health is often a taboo subject and does not get the same kind of attention compared to other ailments like cancer. McLoughlin often addresses the subject in his content and speaks openly about his own struggles with anxiety and depression. He has consistently emphasized the need for timely intervention in cases of individuals with mental impairments.
McLoughlin is one of the most famous veteran gamers on YouTube and is considered in the same league as fellow YouTube stars Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach and Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg.
He is also a great philanthropist and hosts an annual Christmas charity event called Thankmas, with the money raised being used for various charitable ventures around the globe.
Jacksepticeye is an avowed Democrat and was recently in the news when he expressed deep disappointment after the electoral defeat of Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris. His outburst irked DramaAlert host Daniel “Keemstar,” who later derided his views and stated that Jacksepticeye resembled a “woke re***d.”
