Recently (in December) I lost my twin sister to covid, the one person in my entire family I was close to outside of my mother (my twin sister and I were both taking care of her because she has Multiple Sclerosis and was difficult to deal with alone plus she wasn't ready to be with our siblings who none of us are particularly close to) and it the loss of my sister still very much affects me to this day to the point where I find it hard to do and enjoy the things I once found solace in. Loss can affect folks differently depending on the bond and closeness for the individuals and no one here knows BD personally to say if he's "faking or not". It's very easy to sit behind a keyboard and taunt/belittle from the shadows because there's very little consequence but shit matters, especially to the person you punch down on. BD is still a person and a human being so be mindful of that, being a Patreon is not grounds to be a dick to someone.
