 Last night I was sitting there thinking and I was thinking about Tati Westbrook and I was wondering did she ever think in a million years when she posted her video about James Charles did she ever think that this story would blow up to this magnitude and James Charles would be getting the hate that he's currently getting. 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 like to do is take a look at the youtube community the drama and everything that's going on and try to take this mess and turn it into a message because what good is watching all these videos on youtube if we're not taking the information and trying to see how we can apply it to our everyday lives so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so yeah like I mentioned in the intro of this video I was wondering like did Tati Westbrook ever think this was gonna happen ever in a billion years like freaking PewDiePie the largest creator on the platform made a video talking about this James Charles is breaking records for losing the most subscribers and I don't think she she was like Tati Westbrook seems like a sweet sweet sweet woman and like I mentioned in like my first video on this situation I believe she just did this because she just felt like she needed to get away from James for her own mental and emotional well-being and she felt like this was the best way to do it but yesterday she actually was vocal about this and she sent this tweet out there won't be a video tomorrow my heart is still too heavy I feel like I need to remind you that we can hold truth and inspire change without grabbing on to hate honor your blessings don't abuse them celebrating pain will only bring it to your door love you guys see you soon and yeah preach girl preach I'm not into the you know I'm not subscribed to like makeup channels but like what a what an awesome woman all right like does she handle this in the best way I personally don't think so like again like this blew up way way way out of proportion but I'm glad that she's speaking up and trying to get people to chill out like the magnitude of this thing is absolutely crazy but the most serious conversation going on and it might be because of the way that Tati Westbrook worded it about James Charles is this predatory behavior so I want to do this for this video okay like I just want you to just for a minute just just play along with me and try to put yourself in James Charles shoes and just try to understand what he's going through so imagine that you're a 19 year old gay man you're famous and you're richer than you could have ever imagined all right now something that comes along with this fame and being rich is that anybody that you're attracted to who shows you some attention you have to wonder somewhere in your mind you have to wonder is this person actually attracted to me or are they trying to come at my fame and my money so you're this 19 year old rich gay man who has a lot of fame and you flirt with a waiter at a restaurant all right he ends up messaging you he approaches you and through a conversation you find out that this kid is also bi curious and he wants to hang out he comes over to your hotel room and you to make out for an hour all right this kid leaves you have feelings for him and he ends up messaging you back and saying you know what never mind I'm straight so then you also have this attractive Instagram model who is also talking to you and he identifies as straight but he also tells you that he's bi curious you guys flirt with each other you mess around a little bit you bring this kid out to Coachella even though he says he's still on the fence and not really sure then at Coachella this kid is showing you more affection you guys cuddle you guys kiss and everything like that and then after this whole situation he tells you that he also just realized that he identifies as straight now this is two separate instances where people approached you and you hung out with them they consented to the the hooking up the making out whatever it was they consented to this then they told you that they were straight all right now I really want you to think about this for a second just really think about this for a second I don't know how old you are watching this video but just imagine just imagine every hookup or breakup that you've ever had being blasted on the internet to millions of people the DMs people coming out saying that you're a bad kisser right like think about that for just a second like I was trying to think about this and the embarrassment that I would go through in that situation and if you and every if every hookup or relationship you've ever had has just been the cleanest thing ever then you go girl you go but just put yourself in James Charles shoes for just a minute all right now don't get me wrong was James Charles a dick to talk to Westbrook yes but is James Charles a predator I don't think there's enough evidence out there to say so all right the two men who have come forward have shared their stories about how all of this was consensual and James Charles was hurt by this situation like I was just watching a video the other day from another big youtuber about their breakup you know what I mean and like this is this is what I am trying to get out there is like a lot of people want this fame and fortune they want to be a rich you know big youtuber and everything like that but just like put yourself in these people's shoes for just a second and now James Charles is being targeted by cancel culture like and not and like cancel culture is much worse than those two words can even summarize all right because talk to Westbrook was making a video about how she tried to mentor James and he's kind of a selfish dick right and now people are calling him a predator they're accusing him of things that are so terrible and awful they can put somebody in jail because that is what cancel culture does they take something small and then it explodes and people want to ruin they want to ruin somebody's entire life and entire career like do you guys remember do you guys remember when Shane Dawson was accused of being a pedophile like so many people came out and had that man's back you know why because getting labeled as a pedophile is something that does not go away all right that is something that was was there was a possibility that that label could have stuck to Shane Dawson for the rest of his life because of the allegations and now people are doing the exact same thing to James Charles now what I want you to think about as well is that James Charles his mentor was Jeffrey star one of his mentors was Jeffrey star I don't know if you've ever met Jeffrey stars boyfriend Nate but Nate was a man who identified as straight until Jeffrey star came along all right is it possible is it possible that James Charles seeing Jeffrey stars relationship with Nate gave him a little bit of hope that maybe he could be attracted to straight men and something would come from it is that a possibility all right like one of the reasons I'm bringing this up is because a very close friend of mine is a gay man he is a gay man who is married now the man that he is married to was previously married to a woman and they had children together until that man realized that he was gay now these two are married and and like it's just something that can happen and this I'm I try to I try to see the glasses half full and in this situation I'm glad that a conversation is being had about sexual orientation sexual preferences and all of that but like people are looking at this in such a black and white situation and it's not like the two people the two credible stories that have actually come out are from men who are bi curious and like if you can't understand why James Charles was hurt by that like I don't know what to tell you but my final opinion on that aspect of the whole situation is like many of us I just think James Charles is a kid who had a broken picker or has a broken picker he keeps going after the wrong type of men now is it possible that he'll find a straight man that was like kind of on the down low and realizes that he's gay and they get married and it's happily ever after possibly but in the coming years James Charles might also realize that he needs to just start finding other gay men all right but anyways anyways I hope this brought another perspective to you to think about this situation and to think about the the strong words that people are using against James Charles during all this mess like talk to Westbrook said like don't celebrate the hate that's going around for this kid all right but anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a
