I know y’all are joking, but seriously, what is going on here?

It is not diabetes. There is a pro fighting game (Guilty Gear and Street Fighter) player called Marn that has HS Purpura. Is causes the blood vessels in your skin to get inflamed and bleed, and there was probably a secondary infection happening at the same time.

Whang! on YouTube has a pretty good video where he looks into this and gives more details

Edit: either HS Purpura or PLEVA

I know a dude who's legs are purple from the knees down. He weighs around 400 pounds, slams sugar all the time, and doesn't care.

I am not friends with him; his personality and lack of self care as well as caring for himself, despite having a wife, kids, and parents who love him are beyond the limits of my compassion. At some point I feel like we have to take ownership of our own lives and at least try.

Before I get swarmed with responses about depression, how hard is it, etc., he has a massive support group. Every time he gets more assistance, he accepts it and just continues as he is.

What's even the point of your comment or the stance you're taking?

"I don't like this guy. He sucks"

Okay ... and?

I knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith.

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

What was the name of his other leg?

[-] rubicon@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

My daughter has HSP and it looks nothing like that. The dots are red for her, and bigger. I'm sure it's possible to present differently, but man that looks so much worse.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Looks like skin lesions, but I found a Tales from the Internet video saying it was PLEVA or vasculitis.

[-] shuzuko@midwest.social 11 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I get autoimmune vasculitis from time to time when I have a rheumatoid arthritis flare up and it looks very similar to this (although mine is never this bad because I take meds, like holy shit that guy must be in ridiculous amounts of pain and needs to get on some medication right fuckin now)

Is this inevitable for some people? Or is this what happens when it goes untreated?

[-] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

It's not diabetes, it's HS Purpura

[-] swagamuffin@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Oh yeah I think I've been on that boat
