 Yo, all of you on the internet need to calm down and leave Illimations alone. 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, my channel is all about mental health. And what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And today there are a few topics and problems. If you will that we're going to be coming covering and like y'all need to calm down. People are losing their minds on Twitter and Instagram over the recent Illimations videos for multiple reasons. By the way, quick note in case you didn't know my new book, Rewire Your Anger is now out over on Amazon for $4.99, the low low price. Get one for your family members for Christmas. But yeah, so Illimation is a creator who I just recently got into and I've been covering her videos because it like I haven't been able to not not that I haven't been able to but I just haven't done enough videos on trauma and abuse and all of that. So I'm glad that she's made these videos and spoken out about this so she can teach and educate others and raise awareness. But there's a couple things going on online that we really need to talk about. Okay, the first one is the first one is this tweet that Illimation sent out another thing that should really go without saying stop snooping through my pictures and asking is this your ex I took all the photos down because I knew people would want to be vigilantes which brings me to my next point. I do not advocate for doxing harassment intimidation or violence. If you go out of your way to do this. You are not a good person. I do not condone this type of behavior doing this doesn't make you an advocate. It makes you know better than him and most likely you'll end up harassing the wrong effing person. Thanks like you guys. Okay, so we we need to understand how to help somebody who has gone through trauma and abuse like I'm going to keep saying this. I will keep saying this until the day I die. You are selfish. You are selfish by default but Chris are not selfish. I didn't do that. Why are you saying that about me? Well, you're self-centered because you thought I was talking about you. But anyways, like if you're trying to go out and and and defend the honor of elimination or someone you know in your life was gone through abuse that is selfish because you're doing it for you and not for them because they have asked you not to all right when it comes to you know knowing somebody who's gone through abuse like you have to meet them where they're at you need to talk to them. They need to tell you right like when when somebody who's been abused tells you like no I don't want anything to do with them. I'd best I'd rather not think about it like who are you who are you to say no I want to go get revenge for you right and like I get it. I get it. It's a disgusting terrible thing to happen and hopefully justice comes but it is the abused decision whether they're going to press charges whether they're going to you know see justice or whatever that is like you cannot force somebody to do that. The best thing that you can do is be there for that person and support their decision. But one of the biggest issues is that so many people try to play this like captain save a person type deal and things go wrong things go nuts. That's why you need to simmer down quick doing things for you and doing them and start doing things for other people start thinking about what they want what they need. Okay, so real quick story time. So I used to date. I used to date before my beautiful girlfriend Tristan. I used to date this girl who worked at a modeling agency was like a very it was a specialized modeling agency right so one of the young women that she worked with like no nobody was allowed down to their set like the photo set right like nobody was allowed down there okay except it like for the photographers the bosses and the models okay and one day one day this woman's boyfriend comes down like kicking down the door like he's like some like white knight and shining armor and he's like come on babe I'm going to save you you don't need to take these kind of pictures anymore I got you right and she's like what are you doing and this jackhole was trying to rescue her so two things happened she got fired and she dumped that dude alright so quit trying to save people who don't want you to save them okay but yeah in the case of Illimation like I couldn't find the other post but I was looking at her Instagram stories and like you guys like it's crazy it's crazy what's happening right now people have accused Illimation's friends of being this ex from the video people have accused her current boyfriend of being the ex from the videos like y'all need to calm down and figure out something better to do with your time the reason she made these videos was to process it herself and to increase awareness and warn other people so they can be aware of warning signs okay she did not make this video so you can strap on your cape and try to save somebody now this next tweet this next one which you put in notes really breaks my heart look I can answer every question you have about my story but there will still be someone saying this is fake you're lying I could post pictures or other sensitive information of him and and I but there would still be someone saying this is fake you're lying I could release private legal documents and records essentially doxing myself to prove this happened but there will still be someone saying you're lying call me a liar or slander someone faking something for views tell me how if it really happened then you would x y and z to prove it therefore you are a liar say it it's fine I don't care if you don't believe I was abused that's fine go support the survivors you do believe I didn't stack up to who a victim of assault truly is then it should be easy for you to identify who is and isn't a victim so go support them you present yourself as an expert on this so please step up and educate drop a go fund me link to someone who's fled their abuser and has nowhere to go share a new story about someone whose case was erroneously thrown out advocate for overturning a bill in your state that makes the sentences of these crimes harder spread awareness you can't you claim to care so much about or except my story is fiction that's fine to fix fictitious tales can still have morals life lessons educational benefits leave it at that then I like this ass day like I don't know what it is I don't know but through this journey Illumination has just become one of my favorite people but you guys like this is what's messed up like do you remember when Dr. Christine Blasey Ford you know had to go testify right like that is crazy she knew she knew what was going to happen same thing with Illumination she did this knowing knowing that people were going to say this to her and she still did it anyways and like going back to what I was saying about being selfish and self-centered like Illumination is an example of somebody who is trying to be selfless right she is putting her herself her own mental health at risk knowing that some d bags on the internet are going to accuse her of lying just so she can help others but I love I love how she calls out these freaking virtue signalers who act like they care and this is what I talk about all the time like there are so many people who just want to sit there why and complain and moan but when was the last time like she said where these people spread some awareness on their own or or started to raise money for abuse survivors right or went to go donate to a women's shelter or whatever it is like and I know like right now it probably seems like I'm virtue signaling but I'm just I'm just like trying to think logically here right like it is just insane it is just insane like you guys like it is not your place it is not your place as some random person on the internet to say that someone is lying about something like this alright like that is not your place like do you really do you really want to be the jerk who turned out to be wrong accusing somebody of lying about something like this like let that sink in for a second you guys like trauma is a very real thing and it is disgusting how many people are a victim of it alright so relax calm down get educated and ask survivors what you can do to help them okay but anyways that's my little rant if any of you would like to share down in the comments below if you would like to like let me know do you like when people try to save you to try to be the hero and come in and you know be all like a superhero like let me know down in the comments because maybe I'm maybe I'm totally wrong maybe I'm wrong but I don't think I am okay anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you knew make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make
