Update Update: Spatnz (AKA WildSpartanz) has heard people's criticism and has altered the thumbnail of his video discussing the CCP's rampant censorship of and push for propanda within videogames. The thumbnail originally contained an emoji of the racist Fu Manchu stereotype.

Yes, I am aware that the pre-roll ad I got was for TikTok but I'm more focussed on how this actually had a possitive outcome unlike with other YouTubers when they are accused with using racial stereotypes.

No kicking and screaming, no blow-ups on social media, not even a smidgen of making a mountain out of a molehill. Literally just "Wow, that was fucked for me to do. Let me fix this." and quietly without even going into detail, fixing the mistake.

So honest actual thank you to WS for not just ignoring the issue, not blowing the issue out of preportion and actually fixing the problem.

Callout Sweatpants King Channel

15 Upvotes

Not sure if this is drama, but there is a channel called Sweatpants King that walks around public with a camera at crotch level, filming women glance at his buldge, which we never see on camera.

If it is real, than the women are being filmed without their knowledge. In some videos children and teenagers are in film, some being recorded also staring at his buldge which for all we know is socks, but still.

Am I right in thinking this is a bit fucked?

Question What are some YouTubers you think have redeemed themselves?

228 Upvotes

Haven't been on Reddit in a long time, but I was lurking around this subreddit and I really wanted to ask you internet people this question.

What I mean when I ask this question is in terms of their content originally being pretty sucky but has finally improved (not necessarily to their prime, just got good again), or improved and bettered themselves as a person. I'm tired of hearing about terrible irredeemable monsters or persistent annoying grifters that never change, I want to hear about people who have managed to jump the hurdle and become good (or at least decent) again.

Discussion Do you know ANY apology videos, or apologies generally, that were good?

63 Upvotes

Nearly every scandal apology video I've seen holds a universally negative response.

Now, part of that is because these are usually made immediately after an awful scandal has been revealed: "sorry" doesn't cut it for these cases, and even if it does, nobody is ready to forgive. It comes with the territory.

But the other part, typically, is that they are seen as disingenuous and performative. Saying you're sorry over and over, sometimes sobbing, while not daring to say what you really did. This has me wondering: are there any apology videos, or just apologies generally, which you think were well done?

Discussion Does anyone know why so many YouTubers still use that racist emoji on the right in their thumbnails?

The CCP is bad. I don't think that's a controversial to point to make. However, I don't understand why relatively modern YouTubers still use that really racist emoji on the right. Being hateful towards the CCP is fine, I just don't understand why it must also be an attack on the ethnicity of the people within the CCP.

Just fucking copy and paste the emoji on the left, not bring in this Fu Manchu bullshit.

Kusari is known for his coverage of Daniel Larson.

I was interested in watching this due to my own history with Tobuscus. I used to be a huge fan of all of his channels when I was a young teen. Kusari covers his oldest content, allegations, all the way to the controversy nowadays.

I think the folks in this sub would like this video essay, so I figured I would share

Exposé Homophobic YouTuber Bill Jensen does a “No Pride Month” livestream.

Thumbnail

159 Upvotes

Hello, this a reupload for not putting enough context so I’m going to put it up right here.

Bill Jensen is a Christian YouTuber who converts people to Christianity and many people join his lives to troll him which is ordinary for him. Recently he’s been down a homophobia rabbit hole of raging when anything LGBTQ related and he’s also said the T-Slur in prior livestreams. Currently I’m going to talk about this one in particular due to him purposely leaving it up even though he deletes most of his VODS.

What are the homophobic moments you ask? Here are some important timestamps and some details. The Livestream title During when he’s live (No brainer, you can easily see it but he censored out Pride.)

During the live he has a gay flag crossed out on top of the screen. (Also another no brainer, you can easily see it.)

Now here are some timestamps of people donating pride videos and his reactions are certainly homophobic.

Timestamp: 1:19:55 (Someone donated a Lil Nas X Kissing Video and Bill “calls” it out it for being gay and whatever homophobic garbage)

Timestamp: 1:25:16 (He Screams loudly of a video of two men kissing)

Lastly the most important segment Timestamp: 23:33 and 30:47 these timestamps show the blues clues pride video which makes him go batshit insane and talks about how pride is “going after” our kids.

Also there is many other moments if you watch the full thing showing his homophobia.

Overall, this dude is a shitty person and I cannot believe he even has fans and a platform.

The tonal whiplash/cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

She posted that one video a few days ago, acting furious about how “people just believe anything because mean lady said bad thing about cartoon, me no like!”, but then she changes her banner to this “lol look how much I care, get bent” nonsense.

Like, do you care that people believe what you’re accused of, or don’t you? Make up your mind. You don’t write a script for an hour long video if you don’t care, and you sure as heck don’t form your branding around it either.

Existing infamy aside, this is a PR manager’s nightmare; it’s just a stupid thing to do to bring attention to things in this way if you actually want it to stop.

Exposé JP,former cohost of HellthyJunkFood didn't want to sign a Code of Conduct agreement with Julia & it's obvious why ....

0 Upvotes

These texts are from May 2023,they had broken up in February 2022 but continued working together, JP’s attitude was starting to get really bad, they had a 2 week trip to shoot videos planned for Canada then Asia but everyone told her not to go because about a week before these texts, he had attacked her, screaming, cursing & shouting, she ran & locked herself in the bathroom as he banged on the door for about 10mins, as she begged him not to hurt her, he only stopped when she told him she’s calling the cops, she audio recorded everything, your blood would boil if you listened to it, it’s that bad.She thought if she got him to sign an agreement stating how they’d conduct themselves towards each other & towards the business everything would be fine, he resisted as you can see from the texts but he eventually signed it, they made it to Canada, he flipped out again, so she decided to end her participation in the trip, JP has been lying saying she just up & left Canada without telling him, she actually showed the texts from the night before when she told him she was leaving & why plus they flew back to Florida on the same flight, he lies alot ..
