  • 00:00:00
    I learned all the crazy controversy that
  • 00:00:02
    people exposed her for, and I really
  • 00:00:04
    mean it's a lot. I am never going to
  • 00:00:06
    delete any of my videos, and the extreme
  • 00:00:08
    magnification of horrible lies. But what
  • 00:00:11
    I do have a problem with is when you
  • 00:00:13
    literally start to gate a culture that's
  • 00:00:14
    not even your own from other people.
  • 00:00:16
    She's trying to present herself as this
  • 00:00:17
    like educated person.
  • 00:00:20
    [Music]
  • 00:00:23
    Proud umi hater from day one. Please of
  • 00:00:26
    herself instead.
  • 00:00:29
    Well, cosplay is something very, very
  • 00:00:32
    popular on Tik Tok. Some videos where
  • 00:00:35
    people cosplay gain millions and
  • 00:00:37
    millions of views. There's one genre
  • 00:00:39
    that a lot of people hate and some
  • 00:00:41
    really, really like, and that is where
  • 00:00:42
    you edit yourself into looking like some
  • 00:00:44
    kind of porcelain doll. And one creator
  • 00:00:47
    has gained an entire platform from just
  • 00:00:49
    doing this, making herself look like
  • 00:00:51
    some sort of porcelain doll. And she has
  • 00:00:53
    hundreds of hate comments. Well, let's
  • 00:00:55
    be real. Thousands of hate comments.
  • 00:00:57
    hundreds of hate videos and overall one
  • 00:01:00
    of the worst responses to controversies
  • 00:01:02
    of all time. The malignant intentionally
  • 00:01:04
    made up lies being largely spread about
  • 00:01:06
    me in order to vilify my personhood as a
  • 00:01:09
    whole. She is one of the only people
  • 00:01:11
    I've ever seen have a comment under one
  • 00:01:13
    of her Tik Toks telling her to you know
  • 00:01:14
    what with thousands of likes. That's
  • 00:01:16
    just something you simply don't see on
  • 00:01:18
    the daily. And months have gone by and
  • 00:01:20
    she still has one of the most hated
  • 00:01:22
    responses of all time to this entire
  • 00:01:24
    situation. So, I felt like digging into
  • 00:01:26
    it and seeing why people overall hate
  • 00:01:28
    her so much. She's received thousands of
  • 00:01:31
    you know what threats. And overall, that
  • 00:01:33
    is just not appropriate. We should not
  • 00:01:34
    be sending threats to her. That's just
  • 00:01:36
    weird. But we're going to be getting
  • 00:01:37
    into these situations she's been in for
  • 00:01:40
    the past few months. But I'm feeling it
  • 00:01:41
    now and I have been. I'm going to give a
  • 00:01:43
    quick trigger warning for mentions of
  • 00:01:46
    not appropriate things with younger
  • 00:01:47
    people. And this video is probably a lot
  • 00:01:49
    more darker and disturbing than usual
  • 00:01:51
    videos that I create. So, just fair
  • 00:01:53
    trigger warning for all that. It's not
  • 00:01:55
    really the most light-hearted video of
  • 00:01:56
    all time until I learned all the crazy
  • 00:01:59
    controversy that people exposed her for.
  • 00:02:02
    So, overall, please don't send hate to
  • 00:02:03
    her. Obviously, she's already gotten
  • 00:02:05
    quite a few threats. It's a serious
  • 00:02:06
    situation. I'm not defending her in any
  • 00:02:08
    way. In fact, there's a lot of stuff
  • 00:02:09
    she's done that I just cannot believe
  • 00:02:11
    someone would do. So, with that, let's
  • 00:02:13
    get into the video. Remember, just don't
  • 00:02:14
    send anything mean to her. Please be
  • 00:02:16
    respectful in the comments. And with
  • 00:02:18
    that, let's get into it.
  • 00:02:23
    Speaking of someone doing something
  • 00:02:25
    pretty bad or a lot of bad things, you
  • 00:02:27
    have a chance to do something very, very
  • 00:02:29
    good. Some of you know about Mustafa,
  • 00:02:31
    the injured Palestinian I've been
  • 00:02:32
    helping on my channel. That clip I just
  • 00:02:34
    showed you was his house. His house is
  • 00:02:36
    completely torn down and he has nothing
  • 00:02:38
    left. And it's much harder for him to
  • 00:02:40
    rebuild all of this due to the constant
  • 00:02:42
    and he has to protect his two daughters
  • 00:02:44
    and provide food for them. So, your
  • 00:02:46
    donation can change an entire life. Or
  • 00:02:48
    if you can't donate, remember to spread
  • 00:02:49
    the word on your social media or to your
  • 00:02:51
    friends or family. Link is in
  • 00:02:53
    description. I beg you to consider this.
  • 00:02:55
    Remember that you can do a lot of good
  • 00:02:57
    for one person with just a $5 donation
  • 00:02:59
    or spreading the word. With that, let's
  • 00:03:01
    get back into it. So, Umichi is part of
  • 00:03:03
    a community that makes these type of
  • 00:03:05
    weird edited videos. And I don't mean
  • 00:03:07
    weird as in bad weird. I'm just saying
  • 00:03:09
    as in like unique, different. It's very,
  • 00:03:11
    very strange in a way. Some people find
  • 00:03:13
    it very creepy. It's kind of like think
  • 00:03:15
    of an old porcelain doll. It's very very
  • 00:03:18
    edited and she's very open about it. Not
  • 00:03:20
    everyone
  • 00:03:26
    is. For example, those are two of her
  • 00:03:28
    Tik Toks. You can see she shows the
  • 00:03:30
    before and after and there is a huge
  • 00:03:31
    huge difference and she's open about
  • 00:03:33
    that. I know that a lot of people do
  • 00:03:35
    edit their photos. I personally kind of
  • 00:03:36
    think that's cool to show your editing
  • 00:03:38
    process, to present it, to not kind of
  • 00:03:40
    hide it, set these unreal expectations.
  • 00:03:42
    So that personally is something that
  • 00:03:44
    made her kind of stand out, I believe,
  • 00:03:45
    in a way on Tik Tok because you got to
  • 00:03:47
    be unique in some way. There's a lot of
  • 00:03:49
    people doing the same style as her, but
  • 00:03:50
    she stood out, I think, because of that.
  • 00:03:52
    Here were Lisa Q's takes on it. People
  • 00:03:55
    just loved how she's so transparent
  • 00:03:57
    about editing and doesn't want to put
  • 00:03:59
    unrealistic beauty standards out there.
  • 00:04:01
    And it is nice because there are a lot
  • 00:04:03
    of young girls on the app that will fall
  • 00:04:04
    for that. They will see that and be
  • 00:04:06
    like, "Oh, wow. She's so beautiful. I
  • 00:04:07
    wish I could look that way." But when
  • 00:04:08
    they see that she edits it, it's kind of
  • 00:04:09
    like, "Oh, okay. I mean, it's not the
  • 00:04:11
    end of the world. She can make herself
  • 00:04:12
    look prettier, but she's open about it.
  • 00:04:14
    She was really proud of that and she
  • 00:04:16
    kind of spread that message around. The
  • 00:04:17
    problem is though that she's pretty
  • 00:04:19
    problematic at the end of the day. It
  • 00:04:20
    doesn't just come down to this making
  • 00:04:22
    her a good person. In my personal
  • 00:04:24
    opinion, she's far from a good person.
  • 00:04:26
    And her response made everything so much
  • 00:04:28
    worse. So, we'll be breaking that at
  • 00:04:30
    down at the end. And I know there's some
  • 00:04:31
    of you that are going to be commenting,
  • 00:04:32
    "This is old. Why are you talking about
  • 00:04:34
    this? This was two months ago." I know
  • 00:04:36
    that a lot of videos on her were from
  • 00:04:37
    two months ago, but a lot of them didn't
  • 00:04:39
    cover her response, which was actually
  • 00:04:40
    pretty recently. So, I feel like I
  • 00:04:42
    should just go over the things she's
  • 00:04:43
    accused of and then go over her response
  • 00:04:44
    because her response overall just
  • 00:04:46
    sounded like chat GBT. Maybe she's just
  • 00:04:48
    really, really intelligent and she uses
  • 00:04:50
    big words, but it just sounded like a
  • 00:04:52
    chat GBT script. On second thought, I am
  • 00:04:54
    never going to delete any of my videos.
  • 00:04:56
    I'm too cool for that. I had two tablets
  • 00:04:58
    left of my mood stabilizers. I'm going
  • 00:04:59
    to make the full use of them so they
  • 00:05:00
    stop being impulsive and thinking less
  • 00:05:02
    of myself. So, I saw a Tik Tok on her
  • 00:05:04
    and that's really what pulled me towards
  • 00:05:05
    her account. But when I was first on her
  • 00:05:07
    account, the first person I thought of
  • 00:05:08
    was she kind of reminds me of Clara Dao
  • 00:05:10
    in a way because she really is very open
  • 00:05:12
    about her insecurities and she doesn't
  • 00:05:15
    really try to look perfect or hide it. I
  • 00:05:17
    mean, maybe not like Clara Dao. Now that
  • 00:05:18
    I think about it, they're not really
  • 00:05:20
    comparable, but you get the idea. They
  • 00:05:21
    both talk about body problems they've
  • 00:05:23
    had in the past, and I'm just not going
  • 00:05:24
    to go too much into depth because
  • 00:05:26
    YouTube is really strict on that type of
  • 00:05:27
    stuff. Now, let's continue with the main
  • 00:05:29
    problems she's been facing and the
  • 00:05:31
    controversy she's been in. So, the Tik
  • 00:05:33
    Tok I found on her was this one.
  • 00:05:34
    Realizing you defended a creator just to
  • 00:05:36
    later discover they're problematic and
  • 00:05:38
    race towards their own race. And I was
  • 00:05:40
    firstly thinking, who the heck is
  • 00:05:41
    Umichi? Like, I've never heard of this
  • 00:05:43
    girl before, but I found her page and
  • 00:05:45
    then I went down a huge rabbit hole full
  • 00:05:47
    of a lot of really not fun stuff. We're
  • 00:05:49
    gonna start with the lower controversy,
  • 00:05:51
    the less controversial things she's
  • 00:05:52
    done, which are still very
  • 00:05:53
    controversial, and then quickly move up
  • 00:05:55
    to the very, very, very bad stuff that
  • 00:05:57
    she's allegedly done. Let's first off
  • 00:05:59
    start with the kind of less but still
  • 00:06:01
    very bad controversy she's been in.
  • 00:06:03
    Okay, let's start from the beginning.
  • 00:06:06
    Like I mentioned before, Umichi is
  • 00:06:08
    Filipino, but one of the controversy
  • 00:06:10
    surrounding her is that allegedly she's
  • 00:06:12
    trying to be Japanese specifically. I
  • 00:06:14
    can sense the comments from a mile away.
  • 00:06:16
    Oh, wham, wham, wham, what are you
  • 00:06:17
    talking about? She's just respecting her
  • 00:06:19
    culture. You're such an annoying brat.
  • 00:06:21
    No, just listen to what I have to say
  • 00:06:23
    first. So, basically, she's been leaked
  • 00:06:26
    to have been like trying to pronounce
  • 00:06:28
    American words as Japanese and just like
  • 00:06:31
    she kind of failed. So, people were
  • 00:06:33
    making fun of her. There's a whole hate
  • 00:06:34
    train on TikTok about it. People would
  • 00:06:35
    imitate her, used her voice as an audio
  • 00:06:38
    after she did that. But, it got a lot
  • 00:06:39
    worse after this situation happened.
  • 00:06:57
    And I know it just seems like she's
  • 00:06:58
    trying to respect a culture at first
  • 00:07:00
    glance and she just failed and kind of
  • 00:07:02
    embarrassed herself, which I know some
  • 00:07:04
    of us sometimes want to discover new
  • 00:07:06
    cultures and we just kind of embarrass
  • 00:07:08
    ourselves because we don't understand
  • 00:07:09
    them. But it is just worse than that
  • 00:07:11
    because she's a hypocrite. After failing
  • 00:07:13
    to speak properly with Japanese, she
  • 00:07:15
    would make a bunch of different
  • 00:07:16
    comments, specifically this one, saying
  • 00:07:18
    how it's embarrassing when people try to
  • 00:07:20
    learn Japanese and they're just
  • 00:07:22
    embarrassing. And it got worse from
  • 00:07:24
    there because not only did she insult
  • 00:07:26
    people for trying to learn Japanese
  • 00:07:27
    after she did the same exact thing, she
  • 00:07:29
    would then make a racist comment about
  • 00:07:31
    her own race. She would refer to her own
  • 00:07:34
    race as inbred and just throw a bunch of
  • 00:07:36
    insults towards it. And I found a Tik
  • 00:07:37
    Tok kind of defending well not defending
  • 00:07:39
    that's a strong word but kind of giving
  • 00:07:40
    a background to why she'd make such a
  • 00:07:42
    claim like this because I mean it just
  • 00:07:44
    doesn't make sense her making comments
  • 00:07:45
    about her own race that just doesn't
  • 00:07:47
    feel right. Last year I went to the
  • 00:07:48
    Philippines for the first time in a very
  • 00:07:50
    long time and I noticed something
  • 00:07:51
    interesting. I noticed that everywhere
  • 00:07:54
    there were billboards for skin
  • 00:07:55
    lightening and that almost no one on
  • 00:07:58
    their television was a brownkinned
  • 00:08:00
    Filipino. So basically what this account
  • 00:08:02
    that goes by star and this woman is
  • 00:08:04
    saying is that it's really a culture
  • 00:08:06
    there to be like a lot of them want to
  • 00:08:09
    be lighter skinned. It is kind of just
  • 00:08:10
    something pushed at them. So it's kind
  • 00:08:12
    of more of a massive problem. A massive
  • 00:08:15
    problem involving lots of people rather
  • 00:08:16
    than just one individual. She's not
  • 00:08:18
    individually the only one that's
  • 00:08:19
    pressured. And while these comments are
  • 00:08:21
    completely unacceptable, this gives more
  • 00:08:23
    of like a thing that a lot of people are
  • 00:08:24
    pressured rather than her just randomly
  • 00:08:26
    deciding, which just kind of gives more
  • 00:08:28
    of a background and reasoning behind it,
  • 00:08:30
    I suppose. Even though once again, I
  • 00:08:31
    completely condone those comments. This
  • 00:08:34
    stereotypical gym uniform is a school
  • 00:08:36
    uniform worn by students that go to
  • 00:08:39
    school. There is no actual point of her
  • 00:08:43
    owning this sort of clothing. So, a
  • 00:08:45
    video has resurfaced of her dancing
  • 00:08:47
    around in a Japanese anime school
  • 00:08:50
    outfit, and it's for like younger high
  • 00:08:52
    schooler girls, and it gets worse than
  • 00:08:54
    just that. Just hold hold your fingers.
  • 00:08:57
    Don't don't comment anything right now.
  • 00:08:59
    Just let me get into more. It's not
  • 00:09:00
    simply just the uniform, but let me
  • 00:09:02
    firstly explain why the whole school
  • 00:09:04
    uniform thing is bad and then we'll get
  • 00:09:05
    into the more morbid details in this
  • 00:09:07
    situation. Specifically, the dance she
  • 00:09:09
    is doing is actually from the song Loly
  • 00:09:11
    God
  • 00:09:20
    requising a bunch of this information. I
  • 00:09:22
    kept on looking through Tik Toks for
  • 00:09:24
    hours and I couldn't get down to what
  • 00:09:25
    exactly the whole L to the N accusations
  • 00:09:28
    were about. So, I finally figured it out
  • 00:09:29
    with this video and we're going to get
  • 00:09:31
    into breaking it down. So, basically,
  • 00:09:33
    she recorded a video of her dancing
  • 00:09:34
    around in a school uniform from this one
  • 00:09:36
    anime show. And overall, once again, I
  • 00:09:38
    don't need to explain why that's really
  • 00:09:40
    not appropriate because school outfits
  • 00:09:42
    are situated genuinely with kids, and
  • 00:09:44
    that just isn't really the most
  • 00:09:46
    appropriate thing. I mean, sure, maybe
  • 00:09:48
    it could have kind of been an accident.
  • 00:09:49
    She wasn't really thinking about it, but
  • 00:09:51
    then she starts then it gets worse when
  • 00:09:52
    you realize she was dancing to a song
  • 00:09:54
    that specifically was about you know
  • 00:09:56
    what. And I think the video I just
  • 00:09:57
    showed you kind of breaks it down. And I
  • 00:09:59
    think it's kind of hard to explain
  • 00:10:00
    yourself out of this one when you
  • 00:10:02
    literally used a song that was about you
  • 00:10:04
    know what. It just like it's hard to
  • 00:10:06
    explain that you just accidentally put
  • 00:10:07
    on a school uniform. For those who are
  • 00:10:09
    my loyal viewers and have watched past
  • 00:10:11
    videos, I appreciate you firstly and
  • 00:10:13
    secondly, you know, my take on this. I
  • 00:10:15
    talked about the XOXO team. They're like
  • 00:10:17
    a shorts team that has like different
  • 00:10:18
    influencers come on. They had Kiki Kim.
  • 00:10:21
    They had Nevada, a bunch of them. And
  • 00:10:22
    they would always dance in school
  • 00:10:24
    uniforms and do usually not very
  • 00:10:26
    appropriate things. Some of it would be
  • 00:10:28
    very, very disgusting. And I don't know
  • 00:10:30
    why, but I guess it gets more clicks
  • 00:10:32
    when you dress this way. But it just
  • 00:10:33
    simply is not appropriate in my opinion.
  • 00:10:35
    And it would continue to get worse as a
  • 00:10:37
    screenshot would have her openly
  • 00:10:39
    supporting I and you know the rest ends
  • 00:10:42
    with a T and it's about a boy and a girl
  • 00:10:44
    related to each other doing you know
  • 00:10:46
    what. And a screenshot of the comment on
  • 00:10:48
    Facebook. Once again, she really likes
  • 00:10:50
    that app. I don't know why. I don't have
  • 00:10:52
    it and I just always get memes about it
  • 00:10:54
    being for old people. So, I don't know
  • 00:10:55
    why she likes it. But anyway, she would
  • 00:10:57
    talk about wanting to cosplay a story
  • 00:10:59
    where a boy and a girl commit not so
  • 00:11:02
    good acts, specifically considering the
  • 00:11:04
    fact that they are related. I'm tired of
  • 00:11:06
    being an influencer. I'm tired of
  • 00:11:08
    everything in general. I don't know how
  • 00:11:10
    to make significance of myself at this
  • 00:11:12
    point and I'm so exhausted. After this
  • 00:11:14
    kind of took off on TikTok, this entire
  • 00:11:17
    controversy, well, these many
  • 00:11:18
    controversies, people would turn on her
  • 00:11:19
    and it felt so wrong for someone who was
  • 00:11:21
    so open about their struggles, about
  • 00:11:25
    [Music]
  • 00:11:27
    everything. I mean, it's almost like
  • 00:11:29
    social media isn't real and most people
  • 00:11:31
    that pretend to care about something
  • 00:11:32
    have completely different things. And in
  • 00:11:35
    other words, they have a lot of
  • 00:11:36
    skeletons behind their closet. In their
  • 00:11:38
    closet, not behind their closet.
  • 00:11:43
    This truly was some huge news for the
  • 00:11:45
    unemployed. But I feel like even though
  • 00:11:47
    these things being discussed about her
  • 00:11:49
    were really, really bad, she always
  • 00:11:51
    needs a chance to clear it up. Maybe
  • 00:11:52
    prove some of it wrong. Who knows? Maybe
  • 00:11:54
    she's going to apologize. It'll be
  • 00:11:55
    really, really good and we can forgive
  • 00:11:57
    her and move on. But something I've
  • 00:11:58
    realized is when you give an influencer
  • 00:12:00
    who's built their career off of
  • 00:12:01
    especially short-term content a chance
  • 00:12:03
    to apologize, they suddenly decide that
  • 00:12:05
    they're celebrity and we're all just
  • 00:12:06
    peasants who would never understand or
  • 00:12:08
    have the capability to accommodate or
  • 00:12:11
    realize how really amazing and better
  • 00:12:13
    than everyone they are. That's something
  • 00:12:15
    we've seen it time and time again.
  • 00:12:16
    Obviously not directing this towards
  • 00:12:18
    anyone. There's no one I've ever had
  • 00:12:20
    experience with this before doing
  • 00:12:21
    something like this. Yeah, no direct
  • 00:12:23
    references there at all. Anyway, with
  • 00:12:25
    that, let's continue. We might as well
  • 00:12:26
    give her a chance with her response. It
  • 00:12:28
    can't be that bad, can it? It can't be
  • 00:12:30
    that condescending and jerk like, can
  • 00:12:32
    it? Can it? Okay, good. Let's get into
  • 00:12:34
    it. Hello. I will begin by saying that
  • 00:12:36
    this will be an acknowledgement video,
  • 00:12:38
    but not an apology video. This is not an
  • 00:12:41
    apology because I didn't do anything
  • 00:12:43
    wrong. I didn't do anything wrong. Yes,
  • 00:12:45
    I will drag the whole Clara Da situation
  • 00:12:48
    months later just to show that because
  • 00:12:50
    it is so familiar with these type of
  • 00:12:52
    influencers. They all talk the exact
  • 00:12:54
    same when it comes to apologizing or
  • 00:12:56
    responding. They're not even
  • 00:12:57
    apologizing. And I get that the claims
  • 00:13:00
    that people are talking about and the
  • 00:13:01
    things they have to say are not nice and
  • 00:13:03
    they're sending you mean comments and
  • 00:13:05
    they're saying mean things. And I
  • 00:13:06
    totally get that. Like it's really
  • 00:13:08
    really annoying and you want to spit in
  • 00:13:10
    their face and be like, "No, I'm right.
  • 00:13:11
    You're wrong. You idiot. I'm not
  • 00:13:13
    apologizing to you." But sometimes the
  • 00:13:14
    best thing to do even though you are mad
  • 00:13:16
    at the people mad at you is to apologize
  • 00:13:18
    and admit you did some things wrong.
  • 00:13:20
    Maybe some of the things they said
  • 00:13:21
    weren't correct, but at the end of the
  • 00:13:22
    day, it's probably best to just back
  • 00:13:24
    down and apologize rather than make them
  • 00:13:26
    even more mad, which so many people have
  • 00:13:28
    just made the mistake of of
  • 00:13:29
    underestimating their audience. I will
  • 00:13:31
    acknowledge many things, but apologize
  • 00:13:34
    for very few. Because the central fact
  • 00:13:36
    in all of this is that my case is based
  • 00:13:38
    on the intentional distortion of
  • 00:13:40
    ordinary truths and the extreme
  • 00:13:42
    magnification of horrible lies. Okay, I
  • 00:13:45
    know some people have really really big
  • 00:13:47
    vocab and they just know a lot of big
  • 00:13:49
    words, but this literally sounds like
  • 00:13:50
    ChachiBT. And I'm not saying it is like
  • 00:13:53
    for sure because I mean, yeah, I I can't
  • 00:13:55
    just throw that out there. People do
  • 00:13:56
    have good vocab. Maybe I'm just brained
  • 00:13:58
    from the amount of AI I see all the
  • 00:14:00
    time, but it just sounds like a really,
  • 00:14:03
    really, really AI generated script. All
  • 00:14:05
    to fuel an orchestrated mass of hate in
  • 00:14:07
    such excess that no human being should
  • 00:14:10
    ever have to experience in their
  • 00:14:11
    lifetime. I agree that you shouldn't
  • 00:14:13
    receive like the threats you did and the
  • 00:14:15
    comments telling you to you know what
  • 00:14:17
    were not appropriate obviously but like
  • 00:14:20
    you're acting like these just came out
  • 00:14:21
    of nowhere. Like there was a reason
  • 00:14:23
    behind why people were mad and there's
  • 00:14:24
    still a reason why they're mad because
  • 00:14:26
    this response is super stuck up for no
  • 00:14:28
    reason. Going on to live my life trying
  • 00:14:30
    to compose myself beneath
  • 00:14:32
    momentby-moment anxiety attacks and
  • 00:14:34
    dayby-day harassment. I allowed for all
  • 00:14:37
    comments to exist and thrive as they
  • 00:14:39
    were written, just about all of which
  • 00:14:41
    were bullying and hate speech. One thing
  • 00:14:43
    that annoys me is she starts the
  • 00:14:44
    majority of the video talking about the
  • 00:14:46
    accusation of her deleting comments, and
  • 00:14:48
    I just feel like that isn't really a big
  • 00:14:50
    thing to address because at the end of
  • 00:14:52
    the day, Tik Tok deletes literally
  • 00:14:53
    everything that people comment. You
  • 00:14:55
    can't comment anything without it
  • 00:14:56
    censoring it. It's a joke. Honestly, Tik
  • 00:14:58
    Tok just censors literally everything.
  • 00:14:59
    So, I don't really think that's a big
  • 00:15:01
    deal. Like, I don't care. Like, that's
  • 00:15:03
    not my concern. And if you delete
  • 00:15:04
    comments, yeah, whatever. At the end of
  • 00:15:05
    the day, that's not really an important
  • 00:15:07
    thing. There's a lot more things she
  • 00:15:08
    should be covering. And she doesn't
  • 00:15:10
    really spend as much time covering those
  • 00:15:12
    things as she spends covering the little
  • 00:15:14
    accusations that don't really matter. I
  • 00:15:16
    locked my Facebook profile not because I
  • 00:15:18
    was in fear of being exposed even more,
  • 00:15:20
    but because each day for months now,
  • 00:15:21
    people were very actively taking my
  • 00:15:23
    videos, photos, and words posted from
  • 00:15:25
    there so that they could blatantly
  • 00:15:27
    impersonate me across platforms due for
  • 00:15:29
    extremely personal information like my
  • 00:15:30
    name, the names of my family, my
  • 00:15:32
    friends, or where we live, and most
  • 00:15:33
    apparently incriminate me by taking my
  • 00:15:35
    posts out of their very ordinary
  • 00:15:37
    context. Her main argument is that these
  • 00:15:39
    things were taken out of context, but I
  • 00:15:41
    don't think they were taken out of
  • 00:15:42
    context. The things you said were the
  • 00:15:44
    things you said. You weren't just saying
  • 00:15:45
    them for fun. I mean, how do you even
  • 00:15:47
    explain this? I mean, how do you not
  • 00:15:49
    know what this was talking about? You
  • 00:15:51
    don't just randomly name a show and not
  • 00:15:53
    have any idea what any of the characters
  • 00:15:54
    did in the show. She kind of responded
  • 00:15:56
    on her TikTok account, too, to the
  • 00:15:58
    allegations. And again, she uses that
  • 00:16:00
    out of context argument over and over
  • 00:16:02
    and over again, and it's just like at
  • 00:16:03
    the end of the day, that isn't a valid
  • 00:16:05
    argument. You have to have real evidence
  • 00:16:06
    that it was out of context, and she just
  • 00:16:08
    kind of fails to deliver that. Most of
  • 00:16:09
    the video, she kind of just focuses on
  • 00:16:11
    the little accusations. She talks about
  • 00:16:12
    the harassment she got, which I get it.
  • 00:16:14
    Yes, that is very very bad. Do not want
  • 00:16:16
    to that to continue. That is not good.
  • 00:16:19
    But at the end of the day, she spends
  • 00:16:21
    little of her response video actually
  • 00:16:23
    explaining how these things were taken
  • 00:16:25
    out of context and just she kind of
  • 00:16:27
    fails at defending herself to contort
  • 00:16:29
    and make them as scandalous as
  • 00:16:31
    conceivably possible. And fourthly, I
  • 00:16:33
    changed my profile picture because I
  • 00:16:35
    felt like it. The last of these three
  • 00:16:37
    were very mild decisions, but were still
  • 00:16:40
    heavily weaponized against me. Again,
  • 00:16:42
    she spends little time actually
  • 00:16:43
    explaining why she's in the wrong. I'm
  • 00:16:45
    not going to go over every single
  • 00:16:46
    accusation, but you can easily find her
  • 00:16:47
    channel. Just look it up and you can see
  • 00:16:49
    the video for yourself. Go through it,
  • 00:16:50
    see what you think. But overall, the
  • 00:16:52
    video just seems very like I know it's
  • 00:16:54
    scripted. I mean, it's fine to script
  • 00:16:55
    your videos, but it's just so scripted
  • 00:16:57
    to the extent just the word she uses are
  • 00:16:59
    very, very, very large. It almost feels
  • 00:17:01
    like Chachi BT in a way. I don't know
  • 00:17:03
    why, but maybe she just really likes to
  • 00:17:04
    use big words. I know that's a dumb
  • 00:17:06
    thing to focus on. It just kind of
  • 00:17:07
    annoyed me. The whole time she was using
  • 00:17:09
    these huge, huge, huge words. as an
  • 00:17:11
    absolute reflection of herself. Instead,
  • 00:17:14
    editing is always collectively reduced
  • 00:17:16
    to being something solely based with an
  • 00:17:18
    insecurity and disingenuousness. And she
  • 00:17:21
    may just have a really good vocab. I
  • 00:17:23
    know I'm probably just brained, but a
  • 00:17:25
    lot of people did accuse her of CHBT, so
  • 00:17:26
    I don't know if it's true or not, but
  • 00:17:28
    it's a possibility she used it. I don't
  • 00:17:29
    really know. At the end of the day,
  • 00:17:30
    though, maybe we are all just brained
  • 00:17:32
    from the amount of AI we see on the
  • 00:17:34
    daily.
  • 00:17:35
    [Music]
  • 00:17:42
    And I went to her page after this entire
  • 00:17:44
    situation went down and I guess she did
  • 00:17:46
    get a few less hate comments in her
  • 00:17:47
    YouTube channel especially for some
  • 00:17:49
    reason. People kind of agreed with it. I
  • 00:17:51
    see this happen. People get cancelceled.
  • 00:17:53
    They make a response even if it's kind
  • 00:17:54
    of poorly made. I don't know if it's
  • 00:17:56
    just me, but that's happened quite a few
  • 00:17:57
    times. And it doesn't always work.
  • 00:17:58
    Sometimes the opposite happens. they'll
  • 00:18:00
    get a lot of backlash, but sometimes
  • 00:18:01
    they'll make a really poor response and
  • 00:18:02
    everyone in the comments will be like,
  • 00:18:04
    "I don't normally like you, but now I
  • 00:18:05
    like you because you made a really,
  • 00:18:07
    really bad response, but I like it for
  • 00:18:08
    some reason." I don't know, that just
  • 00:18:10
    happens sometimes. But her TikTok,
  • 00:18:12
    people still don't like her. She's still
  • 00:18:13
    getting hate comments a lot. And I mean,
  • 00:18:15
    I guess that's just kind of that I feel
  • 00:18:17
    bad, but like once again, this hate is
  • 00:18:19
    really, really cruel, but it didn't come
  • 00:18:20
    from nowhere. The comments she made were
  • 00:18:22
    really inappropriate and weird, and they
  • 00:18:24
    were definitely not taken out of
  • 00:18:25
    context.
  • 00:18:30
    [Music]
  • 00:18:34
    And since there's been a lot of
  • 00:18:36
    negativity, I guess I'm going to go on
  • 00:18:37
    to something kind of positive about her.
  • 00:18:39
    I personally think that she's really,
  • 00:18:41
    really pretty. And I feel like it's kind
  • 00:18:43
    of cool that she's open about her
  • 00:18:44
    insecurities, so she doesn't like trap
  • 00:18:46
    other girls or make other girls feel
  • 00:18:48
    like they're like the only ones to feel
  • 00:18:49
    this way. Because I know a lot of girls
  • 00:18:51
    do edit their post, they probably feel
  • 00:18:53
    really guilty about it. But this way,
  • 00:18:54
    she's like, "Hey, I don't look this way
  • 00:18:56
    naturally. I do a lot of editing, too.
  • 00:18:58
    It's okay. It's okay to feel this way.
  • 00:19:01
    It's normal. It's natural. So, while she
  • 00:19:03
    has made a lot of comments and done some
  • 00:19:04
    things that I really, really don't like
  • 00:19:06
    and I find very problematic, that's
  • 00:19:07
    something positive I'll say because I
  • 00:19:09
    feel like a video just negative is I
  • 00:19:11
    don't even know. I just want to be
  • 00:19:12
    positive. Okay.
  • 00:19:18
    [Music]
  • 00:19:23
    that element being when you look hard
  • 00:19:26
    enough or in other words, if you reach
  • 00:19:28
    far enough into your line of sight.
  • 00:19:30
    Again, the like you're assuming this or
  • 00:19:33
    out of context argument is just so
  • 00:19:35
    terrible and completely stupid that I
  • 00:19:37
    can't get over she made this argument.
  • 00:19:38
    That's how she defended against the L to
  • 00:19:40
    the N arguments is that people said if
  • 00:19:43
    you look hard enough you can see how
  • 00:19:44
    this is portraying such a disturbing
  • 00:19:46
    reality or such a disturbing thing. And
  • 00:19:49
    no, it's not the whole like oh I can
  • 00:19:51
    figure it out if I dig deep enough and
  • 00:19:53
    if I look hard enough. No, it's like
  • 00:19:56
    literally the song is representing it.
  • 00:19:58
    The school uniform isn't appropriate.
  • 00:20:00
    Like we're not just assuming this stuff.
  • 00:20:01
    Like she's literally just kind of
  • 00:20:02
    gaslighting at this point. I was
  • 00:20:04
    expecting some actual evidence against
  • 00:20:06
    it like oh this is a fake screenshot.
  • 00:20:08
    blah blah blah. Nope. No denial on any
  • 00:20:10
    of that. Just simply saying you guys
  • 00:20:11
    assumed. You guys look too deep. The
  • 00:20:13
    music I was listening to had actual
  • 00:20:15
    references towards that. You know what?
  • 00:20:17
    Towards doing that type of stuff. You
  • 00:20:19
    guys are just assuming. You guys are
  • 00:20:21
    looking too hard into it. I'm just I was
  • 00:20:23
    just doing it for fun, guys. I wasn't
  • 00:20:24
    thinking about it. You guys are all
  • 00:20:26
    crazy. But you don't realize that
  • 00:20:28
    because she literally talks about that
  • 00:20:29
    way later into the video. She spends the
  • 00:20:31
    first 10 minutes just talking about her
  • 00:20:33
    situation, her harassment and stuff. And
  • 00:20:35
    yes, once again, I get it. That is
  • 00:20:37
    really really bad. But at the end of the
  • 00:20:39
    day, you actually need to explain why
  • 00:20:41
    the things made against you are false or
  • 00:20:43
    or apologize at least instead of just
  • 00:20:45
    arguing that people look too hard into
  • 00:20:47
    it when there's literal evidence against
  • 00:20:48
    you. Her entire response, to put it
  • 00:20:50
    plainly, is just super condescending and
  • 00:20:53
    super just like it's like she pulled it
  • 00:20:55
    out of her butt last night. Like she
  • 00:20:57
    just made it up. that she just came up
  • 00:20:59
    with desperate attempts to defend
  • 00:21:00
    herself because there really wasn't much
  • 00:21:03
    to go against those arguments I went
  • 00:21:04
    over except that we took it out of
  • 00:21:06
    context or we looked into it too
  • 00:21:08
    [Music]
  • 00:21:12
    deeply. Yes. Imagine hating you for
  • 00:21:15
    doing nothing. Like you're innocent. You
  • 00:21:17
    did absolutely nothing. And no
  • 00:21:19
    disrespect to this girl. Like I get it.
  • 00:21:22
    You were got a lot of hate and stuff.
  • 00:21:24
    You got a ton of hate. But at the end of
  • 00:21:26
    the day, sometimes you got to
  • 00:21:27
    acknowledge that some of the hate is
  • 00:21:29
    criticism. It's not all just unwarranted
  • 00:21:32
    harassment. Some of it is genuine
  • 00:21:33
    criticism because a lot of the things
  • 00:21:35
    you've done deserve criticism. Not
  • 00:21:37
    people telling you to, you know what,
  • 00:21:39
    that's just hate. But people that
  • 00:21:40
    genuinely criticize you and don't kiss
  • 00:21:42
    every single thing you do. Don't kiss
  • 00:21:44
    your feet for every decision you make.
  • 00:21:45
    That's criticism, not hate. And in her
  • 00:21:48
    response, I shouldn't even call it an
  • 00:21:49
    apology cuz she didn't really apologize
  • 00:21:51
    at all. Okay, she didn't apologize at
  • 00:21:53
    all, but in her response, she does talk
  • 00:21:55
    about how her information was leaked,
  • 00:21:58
    personal information, and that is
  • 00:21:59
    really, really sad and disgusting on the
  • 00:22:01
    internet. That's happening more and more
  • 00:22:03
    because the internet's just becoming
  • 00:22:04
    more of a thing. I've said that a
  • 00:22:05
    million times, but like it is really,
  • 00:22:07
    really sad that that type of stuff got
  • 00:22:09
    leaked. And I feel bad for in that
  • 00:22:11
    situation. I get that. That is very,
  • 00:22:12
    very troubling. And that should never
  • 00:22:13
    have happened. That is straight up just
  • 00:22:15
    hate. That's beyond hate. That is
  • 00:22:16
    horrible. But at the end of the day, it
  • 00:22:18
    just doesn't give you an excuse to
  • 00:22:21
    defend. Like, it's not an automatic
  • 00:22:22
    thing to justify your actions. And I
  • 00:22:25
    obviously don't support any of the
  • 00:22:26
    things that were done to her to leak her
  • 00:22:28
    information and stuff and put her mental
  • 00:22:30
    health at such a serious risk. But what
  • 00:22:32
    I'm saying is it's like my dog getting
  • 00:22:34
    run over by a truck and then me being
  • 00:22:35
    like, "It's okay that I sent those
  • 00:22:37
    photos to children because my dog got
  • 00:22:39
    run over." You know, it's two different
  • 00:22:41
    things that you just simply can't use as
  • 00:22:43
    a shield against criticism that is
  • 00:22:44
    valid. While it isn't a morally correct
  • 00:22:47
    strategy, it did work pretty effectively
  • 00:22:49
    because the YouTube comments were kind
  • 00:22:50
    of kissing her butt for no reason to.
  • 00:22:52
    The entire response was just a big spit
  • 00:22:54
    in the criticism's face. Like anyone who
  • 00:22:56
    criticized her just getting spat in the
  • 00:22:58
    face with that response video, but at
  • 00:23:01
    the end of the day, people bought it.
  • 00:23:02
    They bought it so much. They were like,
  • 00:23:04
    "You're so great. I may not like you,
  • 00:23:06
    but you are really great and your
  • 00:23:07
    responses are great and everything about
  • 00:23:09
    you is great." That's basically to
  • 00:23:10
    summarize her comment section. If there
  • 00:23:12
    was AI to summarize it, that's what it
  • 00:23:14
    would say. I don't like you normally,
  • 00:23:15
    but this was amazing and you're a
  • 00:23:16
    perfect
  • 00:23:21
    person. Something I've seen people do a
  • 00:23:24
    lot and I've noticed is becoming more of
  • 00:23:25
    a trend with influencers is that they
  • 00:23:28
    don't actually attack an argument made
  • 00:23:30
    against them. They kind of go for
  • 00:23:31
    something else. Like, you don't support
  • 00:23:33
    this action I made that was really,
  • 00:23:34
    really disgusting and weird. Well, I
  • 00:23:36
    guess you support all that stuff that
  • 00:23:38
    people said about me. I guess you
  • 00:23:39
    support this thing I don't support. It's
  • 00:23:41
    just like they don't actually attack the
  • 00:23:43
    criticism. they go for something else,
  • 00:23:44
    something that makes that person look
  • 00:23:46
    bad because they can't actually attack
  • 00:23:48
    the argument because they're in the
  • 00:23:49
    wrong. It's basically like using
  • 00:23:51
    labeling or something to make yourself
  • 00:23:54
    invincible to criticism. It's something
  • 00:23:56
    I just see being done. I know some of
  • 00:23:58
    you don't know what I'm talking about,
  • 00:23:59
    but the more chronically online people
  • 00:24:01
    probably are forming an image of someone
  • 00:24:03
    of some sort. I can't think of anyone
  • 00:24:05
    specifically right now, but some of you
  • 00:24:07
    probably have someone in mind. And it's
  • 00:24:08
    so easy to deny it. Like, I didn't know.
  • 00:24:11
    I didn't know. But like you can't really
  • 00:24:12
    deny the screenshots. Like there's just
  • 00:24:14
    the evidence piling on her is
  • 00:24:16
    overwhelming and the out of context
  • 00:24:18
    argument simply doesn't cover it all.
  • 00:24:20
    How are you going to cosplay being
  • 00:24:21
    intelligent and eloquent and all of that
  • 00:24:24
    when you don't even have any
  • 00:24:25
    self-awareness? I've been thinking about
  • 00:24:26
    like what bugged me the most about
  • 00:24:28
    Umichi's non-apology is the fact that
  • 00:24:31
    she presents herself as this like
  • 00:24:33
    intelligent academic um Englishspeaking
  • 00:24:36
    person. I found a girl on Tik Tok who
  • 00:24:38
    did a really good job kind of breaking
  • 00:24:40
    down why her response was just really
  • 00:24:42
    really poorly made and just bad. She
  • 00:24:44
    starts off by saying how she just is
  • 00:24:46
    really condescending and tries to act
  • 00:24:47
    like she's smarter than everyone, which
  • 00:24:49
    is true. She is clearly trying to act
  • 00:24:51
    like she's like way more intelligent
  • 00:24:52
    than all of her viewers, but then she's
  • 00:24:54
    going to make this video um asking
  • 00:24:56
    people to give their criticisms about
  • 00:24:59
    her even though they've been doing that.
  • 00:25:01
    But again, she's trying to present
  • 00:25:02
    herself as this like educated, eloquent
  • 00:25:05
    um person. but again doesn't have the
  • 00:25:08
    self-awareness to be able to identify
  • 00:25:10
    what people are so angry about. Exactly.
  • 00:25:13
    She basically skips over all the actual
  • 00:25:15
    bad accusations and spends the majority
  • 00:25:16
    of the video complaining about the
  • 00:25:18
    threat she got which once again for the
  • 00:25:20
    hundth time because I know someone's
  • 00:25:21
    going to take this out of context. Get
  • 00:25:24
    it? Because anytime someone says one of
  • 00:25:25
    the screenshots of the thing she says
  • 00:25:27
    which is terrible is bad, it's probably
  • 00:25:29
    just out of context and they're probably
  • 00:25:31
    just digging too deep into it. But
  • 00:25:32
    anyway, obviously those things were
  • 00:25:34
    absolutely terrible, but it just doesn't
  • 00:25:36
    act as a shield. It shouldn't be a
  • 00:25:37
    shield for the things she said and done.
  • 00:25:39
    Make it make sense. And also, the
  • 00:25:41
    purpose of that video wasn't to gather
  • 00:25:44
    the constructive criticism that she was
  • 00:25:45
    asking for in that video. Judging for
  • 00:25:47
    the from the comments that she would
  • 00:25:48
    like in the comment section, she's
  • 00:25:50
    basically just liking the comments that
  • 00:25:52
    are kissing her. For those who don't
  • 00:25:53
    know, she made a video asking for
  • 00:25:54
    criticism. Basically making herself or
  • 00:25:57
    trying to make herself look like an open
  • 00:25:58
    for criticism person. She isn't,
  • 00:26:00
    obviously. You can just see from her
  • 00:26:02
    response, she doesn't actually care
  • 00:26:03
    about hearing criticism. She just
  • 00:26:05
    classifies it all as hate. So, that
  • 00:26:07
    video was just there to affirm her u
  • 00:26:10
    belief that she didn't do anything wrong
  • 00:26:11
    and that she doesn't have to apologize
  • 00:26:12
    for anything, which is why she didn't
  • 00:26:14
    make an apology video initially and just
  • 00:26:16
    made that asking for constructive
  • 00:26:19
    criticism video. And honestly, I think
  • 00:26:21
    it's so silly the way she worded that
  • 00:26:22
    whole video. Also, like, girl, just get
  • 00:26:24
    straight to the point. Not everything
  • 00:26:26
    needs big words. Not everything needs
  • 00:26:28
    flowery, complicated. Yeah, I could be
  • 00:26:30
    missing something, but it just felt
  • 00:26:32
    really, really condescending. But I've
  • 00:26:33
    seen this with a lot of influencers.
  • 00:26:35
    People just want to be condescending
  • 00:26:36
    because they got a lot of hate. They got
  • 00:26:38
    a lot of mean stuff, and they're like,
  • 00:26:39
    "Yeah, ha. This is me spitting back at
  • 00:26:41
    it. This is me fighting back." Absolute
  • 00:26:43
    reflection of herself. Instead, editing
  • 00:26:45
    is always collectively reduced to being
  • 00:26:47
    something solely based with an
  • 00:26:48
    insecurity and disingenuousness because
  • 00:26:50
    people cannot stand nor comprehend how
  • 00:26:53
    others can just so easily reject that,
  • 00:26:55
    do it on such a large scale for and it
  • 00:26:57
    wouldn't really matter. Don't take this
  • 00:26:59
    video as me attacking her style. Like,
  • 00:27:01
    you can do whatever you want on Tik Tok
  • 00:27:02
    as long as it's not something involving
  • 00:27:04
    the younger group of people, if you know
  • 00:27:06
    what I mean. But social media shouldn't
  • 00:27:08
    be a way to shut yourself down. Express
  • 00:27:10
    your insecurities, all that, all that,
  • 00:27:13
    and show like that you like to do this
  • 00:27:16
    certain thing you like to do. There's a
  • 00:27:17
    place on Tik Tok for every community.
  • 00:27:19
    Every community that's not illegal,
  • 00:27:21
    obviously, but every community of people
  • 00:27:23
    that want to look at girls that want to
  • 00:27:25
    dress like dolls, girls that want to
  • 00:27:28
    cosplay as any character from any show.
  • 00:27:30
    Like, there's a community for everyone.
  • 00:27:32
    And that's something kind of sweet about
  • 00:27:33
    Tik Tok. There are so many problems with
  • 00:27:34
    social media. And I'm not a social media
  • 00:27:36
    hater. Obviously, I'd be a super big
  • 00:27:38
    hypocrite if I was. Like, I love social
  • 00:27:40
    media and what it's done for people. But
  • 00:27:42
    something I really really like about it
  • 00:27:44
    is that it gives communities to people
  • 00:27:46
    and gives people opportunities to
  • 00:27:47
    express themselves in ways that you
  • 00:27:49
    can't just normally go around dressed
  • 00:27:50
    like a porcelain doll. But on Tik Tok
  • 00:27:53
    you can. You can get likes. You can get
  • 00:27:54
    love for it. Just like how I couldn't go
  • 00:27:57
    to school and give a presentation on a
  • 00:27:58
    Tik Tocker who's canceled. Everyone
  • 00:28:00
    would think I'm the weirdest person on
  • 00:28:01
    earth. It's just like social media has a
  • 00:28:03
    group for everyone for every genre.
  • 00:28:05
    That's not once again illegal. But as
  • 00:28:07
    the famous saying by someone I have no

    idea some Roman dude or something goes,
  • 00:28:11
    with great power comes great
  • 00:28:12
    responsibility. When you have all these
  • 00:28:14
    followers, when you have all these
  • 00:28:15
    views, you have to be responsible. You
  • 00:28:17
    can't just say this careless stuff. You
  • 00:28:19
    can't post careless stuff. You have to
  • 00:28:21
    be careful with what you do because a
  • 00:28:23
    lot of eyes are on you. It's not like
  • 00:28:24
    you're an account with one follower that
  • 00:28:26
    no one will care about. And of course,
  • 00:28:27
    it's probably stressful to like live up
  • 00:28:29
    to their expectations and stuff. I mean,
  • 00:28:31
    sometimes you just post random stuff,
  • 00:28:33
    but like at the end of the day, I know
  • 00:28:34
    it's probably stressful. especially
  • 00:28:36
    because a lot of people are hating on
  • 00:28:38
    you. But at the end of the day, you just
  • 00:28:39
    there's no excuse for what you did. And
  • 00:28:42
    since you were unable to apologize and
  • 00:28:44
    decide to deliver the most condescending
  • 00:28:46
    response of all time, you deserve valid
  • 00:28:48
    criticism. I have to be honest, in all
  • 00:28:50
    my years, okay, I've only had this
  • 00:28:52
    channel for like 2 years or 1 year or
  • 00:28:54
    something, but in all the time I've made
  • 00:28:56
    these videos and all the research I've
  • 00:28:58
    done, she probably has one of the most
  • 00:29:00
    condescending responses I've ever seen.
  • 00:29:02
    I've never seen someone with such a
  • 00:29:04
    stuckup attitude make a response before.
  • 00:29:06
    Like genuinely, it is one of the worst
  • 00:29:08
    things I've ever seen. YouTube shorts or
  • 00:29:10
    Tik Tockers try not to act condescending
  • 00:29:12
    in response video challenge level
  • 00:29:14
    literally impossible. She can't address
  • 00:29:17
    anything. She doesn't address any
  • 00:29:18
    arguments being thrown at her the entire
  • 00:29:20
    video. She just is like, "Oh, you guys
  • 00:29:21
    took it out of context. Oh, you guys
  • 00:29:23
    look too deep into it." You don't
  • 00:29:25
    actually defend yourself. I am not
  • 00:29:27
    exaggerating. the first like one-third
  • 00:29:29
    of the video is talking about her mental
  • 00:29:31
    health and the harassment stuff. And I
  • 00:29:33
    get it. That's bad. But you're making a
  • 00:29:34
    response to allegations. That could be a
  • 00:29:36
    separate video. That just isn't an
  • 00:29:38
    excuse for the things you did. That
  • 00:29:40
    isn't a shield. That should not act as
  • 00:29:41
    like, oh, everything I did is okay
  • 00:29:43
    because these things happened to me. And
  • 00:29:45
    since you don't really have any evidence
  • 00:29:47
    against the things, you still have a
  • 00:29:48
    chance to apologize. I mean, we all make
  • 00:29:50
    mistakes. Yours were kind of serious.
  • 00:29:52
    But at the end of the day, if we didn't
  • 00:29:53
    forgive any mistakes anyone made, I
  • 00:29:55
    mean, where would we be in society? we
  • 00:29:57
    wouldn't go anywhere. But you can't even
  • 00:29:59
    apologize when there's like literal
  • 00:30:01
    evidence against you saying these nasty
  • 00:30:02
    things. You're like, "Oh, you guys look
  • 00:30:04
    too deep into it. You guys are just
  • 00:30:05
    throwing all these evil things at me."
  • 00:30:07
    And I'm going to make it clear I hate
  • 00:30:08
    her in absolutely no way and she doesn't
  • 00:30:11
    deserve any of the things that happened
  • 00:30:12
    to her. But once again, it just should
  • 00:30:14
    not be this excuse or this shield for
  • 00:30:16
    the criticism because there's valid
  • 00:30:18
    criticism. Like the things I gave at the
  • 00:30:19
    beginning, that's valid criticism. That
  • 00:30:21
    is not hate. That is, hey, you said
  • 00:30:23
    this. That's not really that cool. I
  • 00:30:24
    don't hate you as a person, but like the
  • 00:30:26
    things you did are not cool. Her
  • 00:30:28
    response was basically, you don't like
  • 00:30:30
    apples, so you like oranges. It was that
  • 00:30:32
    kind of thing. It was just it was a
  • 00:30:33
    mess. It was a complete mess. And I'm
  • 00:30:35
    just saddened that she published that
  • 00:30:37
    thinking that was like an
  • 00:30:38
    accomplishment. And even more saddened
  • 00:30:39
    that the comments were eating it up.
  • 00:30:41
    Social media is just such a strange
  • 00:30:43
    place. It's just like it could never
  • 00:30:45
    happen in real life type things. And
  • 00:30:46
    it's just very, very strange. I hope the
  • 00:30:49
    harassment dies down for her. That did
  • 00:30:50
    sound really rough. I hope her mental
  • 00:30:52
    health gets better, but at the end of
  • 00:30:53
    the day, she shouldn't be using that as
  • 00:30:54
    a shield for the things she's done in
  • 00:30:56
    the past. Girl, we did not get anything
  • 00:30:57
    out of context. Stop saying that over
  • 00:30:59
    and over again. Saying it a million
  • 00:31:01
    times doesn't make it true. Your
  • 00:31:02
    response is just really, really rough.
  • 00:31:04
    Hope you improve in the future. And with
  • 00:31:05
    that, the video is done. I don't think
  • 00:31:07
    anyone's going to make it this far
  • 00:31:08
    because it's a pretty long video, but I
  • 00:31:10
    felt like talking for a while because
  • 00:31:11
    I've been working at my stupid job,
  • 00:31:14
    summer job all day, and I just want to
  • 00:31:15
    talk. So, yeah. I'll see you in the next
  • 00:31:17
    one. Thank you so much. If you made it
  • 00:31:18
    this far, please donate to the GoFundMe.
  • 00:31:20
    Stand by.
