YouTube gaming veteran Seán William McLoughlin, also known as Jacksepticeye, is one of the most soft-hearted individuals on the YouTube platform. Positivity and self-love are two key aspects of his online persona. Even his channel slogan, PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), serves as a motivational call to action for his followers to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Throughout his career, Jack has maintained his reputation as a wholesome YouTuber. Although he occasionally makes edgy jokes, it is very rare to see him engage in anything untasteful. Even in his more naïve younger years, Jack was a warm ball of fluff, and this story proves it.

Jacksepticeye shares his gun story

Jack is from Offaly, Ireland. He has shared that he used to live in a remote corner of the country surrounded by forests, which explains his deep love of forest-based horror games. When he was around 16 years old, he became interested in acquiring a gun. In his surroundings, he could see people going hunting with their guns. 

When Jack turned 16, he licensed and owned a gun for hunting. However, the experience wasn’t what he had anticipated. After killing his very first prey, Jack felt horrible about the whole ordeal. He may be a pro at dropping bodies in computer games, but killing something in the real world wasn’t for him.

“I wanted to be like everybody else and go hunting… I got my own shotgun and I went hunting one season, shot a couple of birds, and then felt incredibly horrible about it. And then just never did it again. I realized that hunting and killing animals is not something that I want for me,” said Jacksepticeye.

Alongside being a gaming icon on YouTube, Jacksepticeye is also one of the biggest philanthropists on the platform. Every year during Christmas, Jack hosts the iconic “Thankmas” charity stream, where he urges other creators and his audience to aid him in raising money for charitable movements to improve the lives of marginalized communities and solve global issues.
