Jake Future Was Born With His Condition, but Faked Footage of Him Is Confusing Some

The eco-system of streamers is vast and multi-faceted, and Jake Future is one small part of it. Jake, who has a disability that affects the way he talks and holds his body, has become popular largely for his appearances on other people's streams.

More recently, though, footage of Jake has circulated that appears to show him without a disability, often accompanied by the caption "before the accident." Now, many want to know whether there really was an accident, and what happened to Jake Future. Here's what we know.

Nothing happened to Jake Future. The footage that claims to be him before some sort of accident is fake, of someone else, or has been altered. Jake was born with his condition, and the footage suggesting that he suffered some sort of brain damage is simply the cruelest kind of misinformation. He is the way he has always been, and it's becoming increasingly clear that at least some of the streamers that he appears with have taken advantage of him.

This became especially clear in a recent video posted by Sneako, who claimed that he was the only person to actually attend Jake's toy drive for people in need. In the video, which was filmed with Jake, Jake claims that he invited many people but that only one person showed up. Sneako took the opportunity to shame some of his fellow streamers, and there were plenty of people in the comments under the video who were also upset that no one had come.

"I have tons of respect for sneako after this idc what yall say this is genuine," one person wrote.

"Bruh that’s actually so sad that means they just use him for content," another said.

"I don't even like Sneako but I appreciate him for doing this fr," a third commented.

Of course, there were some people who said that Sneako was doing the same thing that he had accused other people of.

It's worth noting, of course, that Sneako did film a video while he was at the toy drive, and in that video, he even got the added bonus of calling out other streamers for their bad behavior.

"He is technically clip farming but it’s significantly better than not showing up," one person wrote, pointing out that Sneako might have just shown up for clout, but that action is still better than not showing up at all.

As people continue to express opinions about Jake and the streamers who operate around him, though, many are also just gratified that he seemed happy even in spite of the poor turnout for the toy drive.

It's a weird move to claim someone is your friend and then not show up at an event they're hosting, and it's even weirder to do that when the event is for charity. The phrase "telling on themselves" is overused, but it seems to apply here.
