 I had quite a few people ask me to do a follow-up on the Trisha Paytas story with David Dobrik on the vlog squad and to be honest I thought she wasn't even going to make one so I apologize for the delay but anyways I ended up watching her videos and I really wanted to make this video because it kind of touches on some subjects we've been talking about recently like when it comes to the Dave Chappelle situation the pro Jared and Heidi situation as well as the Funimation situation alright and there's a lot that we can learn from it so let's discuss what is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to do is take different topics going on in the youtube community or pop culture as a whole and try to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and if you're not yet make sure you follow me on social media on twitter and instagram at the Rewired Soul I'm working on a bunch of different things right now so stay up to date with me on social media I post everything that I'm doing like right now I've been recording a bunch of videos because it's the weekend I don't have other work to do but anyways this week it'll kind of slow down but if you follow me on social media you'll be up to date on what my schedule is like and what videos and other things that I'm working on all right so yeah anyways again like for those of you who are new to my channel like what I try to do I try to do some commentary and discuss what's going on but my videos are for you all right like they are for you okay so although I will have my opinions on the situation as a whole like I know that on my path my journey of trying to improve my own mental health my own emotional well-being like I've had to learn a lot and I'm still learning and I'm still growing but anyways like I said when it comes to this Trisha Paytas situation with David Dobrik and the vlog squad and her ex Jason Nash and Jeff Whittock it's like like there's so many things that are just that are just wrong that are just wrong all right so the first thing that I want to talk about is kind of the joke aspect all right like Trisha Paytas discusses this multiple times no one takes accountability no one has to apologize they can continue to mock me all they want um by making these jokes and stuff like that but the assault joke is is not a joke even in the context to Jeff said it in whether it was directed at me or not like the fact that that's where his mind went to and then Todd makes the joke he assaulted me like and so so soon to that it speaks volumes for how much these people can get away with and and and it's ultimately is scary so yeah like when I made my videos about the Dave Chappelle situation and people freaking out right like that was about people getting offended by certain jokes okay but then when we talk about the Funimation story like in my opinion one of the worst things you could do one of the worst type of people is dishing out jokes and not being able to take them and when we look at the the Trisha Paytas situation it kind of it kind of has both of those things going on and this is my opinion okay like like I always try to get people out of black and white thinking including myself black and white thinking is just the worst like so much in life is just filled with gray area not everything is all one way or all the other way but in my opinion when it comes to jokes when it comes to comedy it is a very black and white subject it is very black and white it is either a joke or it's not a joke we don't get to pick and choose and say oh well they were joking about this but they're not joking about that and context matters all right like we have to look at and say okay like for example with Dave Chappelle when somebody is on a stage doing a comedy special it's pretty safe to say that pretty much everything that they're talking about is part of an act part of a bit you see what I mean but outside of that yeah context matters are they joking or are they not but here's the issue that comes up when it comes to Trisha Paytas and this whole Jeff Wittek thing and she's talking about you don't joke about that you don't joke about it like here's the thing like you guys like my beautiful girlfriend tritz and I we joke all the time and one of the one of the jokes we have is like if I'm like kind of getting on her nerves she'd be like you want me to fight you like I'm gonna fight you right and it's funny it's adorable and it's cute so like when I hear Trisha Paytas saying like assault is never a joke I'm like come on man like come on you know what I mean like should I should I you know try to expose my girlfriend for saying those things to me you know what I'm saying and like here's what I'm what I've been thinking about especially like with the Dave Chappelle situation going on and after watching Trisha Paytas video like when when we're asking like what's going to offend certain people because every joke is going to offend somebody it's gonna make somebody upset no matter what it is like with the whole Dave Chappelle situation a lot of people from the LGBTQ community or allies are getting upset about that but like I've talked about he makes fun of suicide he makes fun of opioid addiction both things that have hit very close to home with me you know what I mean so like I just want you to picture this for a second like what should people do like what's the what's the alternative like should they get consent for jokes like I want you to imagine somebody who's going to be telling jokes and they ask the entire group of people like okay are you okay with this type of joke show of hands all right are you guys okay with this type of joke show of hands right like that would be ridiculous you see what I mean like think about that like all jokes are going to offend some group of people or some specific person but here's here's the other thing like when it comes to Trisha Paytas talking about how all this kind of happened like her her initial exposed video that kind of you know ended things with Jason and the vlog squad and everything like that it was because the vlog squad or David Dobrik even wanted to you know do some kind of bit about a threesome with Tana Trisha and Jason right and it hurt Trisha's feelings and all that and listen like we need to really evaluate ourselves and ask ourselves are our emotions proportional to what's going on are they logical because you guys when we tap into the emotional part of our brain logic completely goes out the window so here's here's why I want to discuss again the topic of dishing out jokes but not being able to take them like you guys if you go back and watch Trisha's videos with the vlog squad while she was dating Jason like every other video she was joking about blowing David Dobrik in front of Jason all right like like I don't get like she was constantly making sexual jokes to her boyfriend like what if what if Jason did this huge exposed video like oh my god well that really hurt me that really got on my nerves that really offended me you know and like he made this whole exposed video you see what I'm saying like like I said it is just though worse it is though worse when you have a joking relationship with somebody and then out of nowhere they're just like okay because of this day because of this situation you cross the line like this is why I try to promote self-awareness and trying to explain to people and teach people like other people aren't causing your emotions all right those emotions come from within you so what may have happened in Trisha's situation like any other day any other day that joke might have been fine right but that one day was when she took it to heart you see what I mean like for example are you as upset being stuck in traffic when you're 30 45 minutes early to something as when you're running late to something no two different two different situations that day but the same exact scenario being stuck in traffic so that's when we need to dial back and say okay am I really upset about this or is it just on a certain day and we need to step back and say oh have I joked about these things before and da da da da like we all have our lines when it comes to joking I'm like when I meet new people like I try to feel them out and see like where we can you know go as far as jokes go but like it just kind of blows my mind because these are jokes that Trisha engaged in constantly with the vlog squad so the last thing I want to talk about is I just did a video about not lying to your therapist and I used the Heidi and pro Jared situation but anyways it's about self-awareness it's about taking responsibility and understanding these things and something that's really bothered me is seeing Trisha talk about like she's so upset because Jeff Whitick said that Trisha screwed over her friend or his friend Jason right and she is just completely oblivious to what is he talking about I never did anything to him like you guys whenever I think of Trisha Paytas and Jason Nash I think about this clip wait why did you almost call the police I'm not gonna say she can say if she wants I'm not gonna throw her under the bus I literally didn't do anything I mean what she did like wasn't that bad I was blocking the door for an hour and a half I sat there he went to that bathroom and I just sat there but then she sat right here wait wait wait she sat here like a prison guard and I was like Trisha get out of the way I'm going home I want to go home I need some time to myself she's like no no holy is this true like I don't know if any of you guys remember but yeah Trisha Paytas got pretty mad at me at one point but like that relationship was toxic as hell it was mutually abusive all right like it was terrible but is it possible like I like sit back and ask yourself like is it possible that when Jeff is talking about this he's not talking about her like cheating on Jason but she's talking about the way she treated Jason right like blocking the door to a point where he is about to call the police like this is why we need to look at ourselves and say did I do anything that may have justified the response that they had you see what I'm saying like we're not the only ones with feelings everybody has feelings everybody has their own perspective so when I look at that and I get it like it's it's rough when you go through a breakup and like the friend groups get split and you know what I mean and uh Trisha seems like she's very hurt because her and David used to be friends but anyways like we have to think about like if I'm running around doing crazy stuff all the time right like I give people a pretty good reason not want to not to want to hang out with me like when Trisha Paytas was talking about how Jeff dodged her at that Starbucks like what started all of this like I think about it I'm like maybe Jeff was worried about Trisha causing a scene in a public space like would it be that crazy of Jeff to be concerned about that you know what I'm saying like you guys we need to look at ourselves we need to see what we're doing like if we're doing outrageous crazy things like people might not want to be around us you know what I'm saying like we have to take responsibility for these things and actually I apologize the last thing I want to talk about is this and I this is purely a thought that I've had it's not even necessarily an opinion because I'm not a mind reader I don't know what's going on and Trisha's mind right but this is just my opinion so something that Trisha talks about in her video is that she can't be a voice for people who say they were a victim of the vlog squad all right and they need to be their own voice and everything like that and just something that I've asked myself is like what are her motives what are her real motives and all of us need to ask ourselves this like when we're when we're willing like to out people and expose people like what are our motives like are we really looking for justice or do we just want to hurt the other person and here's what I mean like I don't think that David Dobrik in the vlog squad are these innocent little angels like I'm sure there was plenty plenty of stuff that they do that we don't even know about and I think you know Trisha is probably correct like people don't go after the vlog squad because they are these untouchable you know people you know what I mean but here's the thing like when Trisha and Jason were we're together she was constantly talking about getting married to him having children with him and although talking about how she would let him know things that she didn't think were okay like would she have never brought this to the public light if things worked out with Jason you know what I mean and that's where we got to ask ourselves like what are the actual motives here because she's talking about not wanting to help other people or saying she can't help other people who are victims of this thing and I don't know like I'm curious what you would do in that situation like if you really believe that they were doing things that were harming others potentially illegal assaulting people like wouldn't you use like I know I would like use my voice use my platform to try and help these people and try to make sure it didn't happen to others so like I said it's purely my opinion it's a speculation it's my observation from the outside but it almost seems it's like she's not really trying to do this for the greater good but unless she can directly hurt these people that's all she wants to do but saying that she's not going to help out any of the other people and not be their voice with the massive platform she has it just it's kind of questionable so anyways to summarize this video the things that we need to look out for is being offended by jokes and taking them way too seriously don't joke with people if you can't take them and also take accountability and responsibility for your own craziness and actions which might lead to people not wanting to be around you all right but anyways I'm going to be making a video right after this about the whole spill being exposed situation I have some opinions on that so make sure that you stay tuned all right but if you like this video make sure
