Yea. It’s getting old.

That's cool. My book publishing was having some scotch in a t-shirt at home

Same. Gin tonics and a nice dinner. I write together with my wife. :)

Fuck yeah Frankie

Frankie, officially the only person with a 365 day selfie pass for Imgur. Hope the book launch went well!

Not a selfie

Its really amusing to see people getting triggered about some random occational picture on one of the internets many image sharing sites.
PavelSvimba
Like c'mon guys, its just a picture and you still feel the need to come and type those negative comments.
PavelSvimba
I have an advice for you; turn off your device, get up, go out and try to find some positive things for your miserable life.
bandanafurscale
Yeah guys it’s occational
PavelSvimba
Haha got me there!
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Look at the salty-ass downvotes on this post and supportive comments. That's fuckin' sad, really.
IAmtrains
Cause hes homophobic.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Oh shit, for real? First I've heard about it. Gonna have to poke around his account, now :/
RunLikeAnAntelope
And he’s posting this almost every day

For others (like me) who have heard nothing about this, it's regarding a deleted YouTube video in which Frankie apparently claimed that 1/

gay marriage is wrong and causes mental disabilities, or some such. I cannot confirm either way, though. 2/2

Of course he was, he is Frankie Mac-fuckin'-Donald. That name means something round these parts
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
What does that name mean around these parts?
ThatOneGuyFromTv
Honestly. I've been around imgur a long time and I remember frankie for some reason. But I can't remember who he *is*, can someone remind me
youcanreachmenow
Haha fair, he is famous for doing his weather reports online. He has been on Imgur for ages and is a wholesome lad
ThatOneGuyFromTv
cptwott
He has an exception on the selfie rule. Don't downvote a Frankie selfie.
danrrpalade
This is not a selfie though.
youcanreachmenow
But dont go past. Pay your tax and upvote.

Yeah, this is getting tiresome. Also the homophobia thing.

I'm afraid I don't do 'religion'...so no.
bontonswanson
What does that have to do with religion? Good people make mistakes.
ColoneISanders
*talks about sinners and sin* "What does that have to do with religion?" fucking really?
bontonswanson
It's a common expression...
Dravit
Ta, saved me the hassle of replying!
TheMagnificentSpud
Why do we all like Frankie so much? He posts about his 'first book launch' every other week it seems. Genuinely asking, I'm not being mean.
grimmspoon722
He is OUR guy.
ChristianSuddath
imgur people think upvoting a disabled person's posts makes them a better person. frankie has outstayed his welcome imo, he's everywhere
thisisntverybritish
Watch a few of his videos. His enthusiasm is infectious and he seems like a really likeable guy.
CatStaringAtAWall
@TheMagnificentSpud - you know how people with autism have passions that they want to talk with everyone about? This is important to him!
300Hectares1TankofKerosene
First time seeing anything about this. Zero interest in whatever it is TBH.
Antrazit
It’s because he has a disability so people are being nice to him
akshayhighbury
A person with disability who has written a fucking book. Most of us even without any disabilities have probably not achieved so much in life
FrankTheWallaby
He makes damn sure that I know that a hurricane is going to hit Mississipi, by informing me(in NY), loudly from a field in Canada. I love it
Deltablue
Because he is nice, positive, enthusiastic, and trying
CuileannDhu
Because his enthusiasm and love for meteorology is infectious and makes people happy.
TheHolyBison
I just wish he wouldn't spam local subreddits for storms 500+ miles away... A thunderstorm in northern OR doesn't affect me in Southern OR.
undertheaurora
I think he’s sharing pictures taken from it, but he doesn’t want to spam (or doesn’t understand multi-photo posts) so he’s doing it this way
carrotsonfire
He's Autistic, not stupid. He knows exactly what he's doing. One post = front page once. Multiple posts = more exposure = more money.
Dirtsailor2010
He’s just a nice guy who just wants to talk about the weather and we love that about him. I frankly wish he was my weather man.
GoLeafsGo13
Nice guy who also happens to be a bigot and racist
Dirtsailor2010
Well I didn’t know that. I’ll have to look into that
Esdog
He's like, THE official unofficial weather man,
youcanreachmenow
And you havent heard of The FRANKIE MACDONALD before? Please hand in your Imgur membership with your badge and gun on the way out
baals
You guys get guns?
Sjhee
Their question was WHY are they hearing about Frankie Macdonald rookie. You're suspended for 2 weeks without pay.
IloveHockey
i dont like him, but i don't dislike him either.
Beezlebubble
And that's OK, as long as you aren't putting him down. He's a good guy doing what he loves. Got more motivation than I have lately
Catitapillar
And that's okay, we don't have to like everybody. And people like different things.
SarcasticComment
He against gay marriage and has some messed up views on race. I'm slapping the mute to not hear about his book anymore.

I don't like the content of your comment. But I won't downvote it since it's not your opinion.
SarcasticComment
I don't give a shit about him/his book. I choose to not be updated on it multiple times a week due to his direct quote on human rights.
Xerrai
It started because he is autistic and we like supporting people overcoming hardships. But its turned into genuine like, as he seems really
Xerrai
Funny and nice, etc. Here and yt hes like family in a way
grimmspoon722
He is OUR guy
IloveHockey
he posts on reddit and other places too.
GoLeafsGo13
You must not be aware of his hatred of gay people
ineedasmallerusername
Frankie is the unofficial weatherman of Canada, he is a youtuber who talks about the weather and is devoted to imgur. He is autistic and (1)
ineedasmallerusername
Doesn't allow that to prevent him from doing what he lives which is educating people about the weather.
ineedasmallerusername
Hopefully that helps
Baeloro
Thanks for being a Frankie supporter!
TheMagnificentSpud
Thanks :)
Villainouscollarbone
This helps! Thanks for answering.
kiwikunt
Same, thank you very much.
BunnyHooves
I appreciate your answer - thank you!
FappingRaptor
I agree with you, I have no idea why or what hes done to be so popular yet when you ask you never get a straight answer.
grimmspoon722
He is OUR guy
dEXm64
It's lifting the spirits of a differently abled person is my nearest guess
Imagetap
Make an effort to read the replies. Plenty of straight answers in here.
YeGods
Most of the straight answers are downvoted. The top response, above yours right now, is evasive and just proves the guy right.
AlkeneThiol
Because imgur enjoys patronizing the profoundly neuro atypical
arpinas
I think people's intentions are good, but I agree a lot of the comments come across as very patronising
AlkeneThiol
That's all I'm saying! Man i promised myself to be more tactful. You've got it down. Teach me, sensei
misstwosense
Yet we put up with your ignorant and malicious ass. Guess it takes all kinds, huh? (J/K! Never post again, anywhere.)
AlkeneThiol
What did I say that was malicious?
AlkeneThiol
What did I say that was ignorant? I know who this person is. I've seen people patronizing him regularly. It is morally wrong to say so?
UrsulatheArtist
Its profound how quickly the jealousy rose out of you. You should be ashamed, but you probably aren't. It's ok, 4chan patronized psychos.
AlkeneThiol
...? What am I jealous of? I got multiple FP posts. Literally my last post made FP. I'm just being honest
UrsulatheArtist
You are making a mockery of a young man that's differently abled and he is doing his best to share weather information. Shame on you.
parabolic000
He's honest. Like, yeah, it's cool that an autistic dude gets such fame and cowrites a book &etc, but the thing that we (or at least I) --
parabolic000
like is that he's genuinely enthusiastic and really likes what he does. IDK about you, but dude's 37 and still acts with excitement and --
parabolic000
glee for day-to-day weather reports. To me, that's something to celebrate and perhaps try to emulate. Do what makes you happy with vigor--

latinomartino
Ugh, if I could have the excitement for things that I used to have at 16, I could change the fucking world.
Cr4zyC4tLady
No worries, that made total sense. Seeing that kind of pure excitement is rare, and we should chase those moments, not chastise them. :)
MATSUEMADNESS
yeah that made sense, not canadian so didn't know bout him except from on here. Cheers for the write up
