 in the midst of all of this nonsense it's so nice it is so nice to see youtube's biggest creator pewdiepie have his head screwed on straight and you know what a while back i kind of stopped watching pewdiepie's content so i unsubscribe from him but you know what he deserves one of these 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 all this drama going on and try to turn this mess into a message because what good is watching all this stuff go down if we're not trying to apply it to our own lives to improve ourselves so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and yeah like right after i uploaded my last video about like jeffrey star separating himself from james charles which is massively like hypocritical to me and not being a very good mentor our man pewdiepie just uploaded a video in defense of james charles and kind of you know talking a little bad about tati westbrook and like listen full disclaimer before i get into this kind of like what pewdiepie said i'm not excusing james charles behavior i'm not excusing that behavior at all now my next video is i think these allegations are getting blown way out of proportion and it's a it's a little bit troubling but that's the next video but anyways let's talk about why pewdiepie is defending james charles in this situation and i'm so glad i'm so glad that pewdiepie like is using his platform to talk about this because during this whole situation it's like every other creator not every other creator but a large amount of creators are forgetting like what's happened in the youtube community in the past like pewdiepie has had so many labels thrown on him and so many people try to cancel him and one of the reasons one of the the reasons that he's been able to overcome that is because a he's the biggest creator on the platform and b he's been on the platform for so so so long james charles even though he's had a massive amount of success it's very it's been a very short period of time in the grand scheme of things like pewdiepie has been around for a very long time so he was able to weather the storm and i'm glad to see pewdiepie having his back like do you guys understand do you guys understand that people have labeled labeled pewdiepie as a racist they've labeled him as somebody as part of the alt right because of like jokes he made and things like that like he has had this happen to him all right hell even what happened in new zealand that tragedy people were associating him with that like pewdiepie is no stranger to having like just what seems what can seem like the entire world against him so i'm so glad that he's coming out and defending james charles because basically what he's saying is like like pewdiepie was looking at this he's like in the grand scheme of things and the history of like youtube uh controversies and what's happened like is this really is this really what's that bad and he points out that a lot of people are just like kind of having fun with it and being childish and the hey i'm gonna unsubscribe that's cool but like ruining james charles name especially on allegations like i think it's a little bit ridiculous with austin jones just getting 10 years 10 years in prison for what that monster was doing to kids that people are demonizing james charles again i do not excuse his behavior and i'll talk about it more in another video but like it is absolutely baffling and something that pewdiepie was talking about which um is is something that's been addressed but tati kind of used like it as a cop out is that she didn't handle this privately like she did not handle this privately at all and it's it's become a way and i don't like i'll i'll be honest i do not think that tati westbrook did this like super intentionally i don't think that she was like hey i'm a good person i'm a role model i'm trustworthy i do this it's just in the context of her video i feel like it was important that she had to say that so i don't know if i necessarily agree with pewdiepie on that front but i do agree with the fact that this should have all be handled in private right and the way tati kind of saw it was she already did that impulsive uh instagram story which she recognized was impulsive and she shouldn't have done but like pewdiepie brought up something that i hadn't even thought of like she was saying like the reason that she didn't talk to james in private was because he had already talked to drama channels but she was doing the same thing and i don't think i don't think that's a good gauge on whether or not you should talk to somebody in private about this and then felix brought this up because this has happened to him like think about it think about this real quick when when pewdiepie was being called a racist for accidentally dropping an inbomb while he was gaming like jacksepticeye came out jacksepticeye came out and did a video about him and that probably felt like just such a massive knife in the back of pewdiepie because pewdiepie was one of the people who who first helped jacksepticeye get his get his start right now i don't think like you know uh pewdiepie is the whole reason that jacksepticeye blew up but like imagine how pewdiepie felt in that situation and he didn't he didn't handle it and let the court of public opinion decide how that was going to play out he didn't even really um um address it to my knowledge but then then you also had last year when h3h3 was calling out pewdiepie which a lot of people thought was kind of kind of crappy because you know pewdiepie like has been friends with h3h3 and then they called him hypocritical and everything but like i was looking at this and one of the reasons i re-subscribed to pewdiepie is because like i don't know like this is some good role modeling behavior this is very good like that's why that's why i made my last video about jeffrey star just kind of turning his back on james charles right like what if everybody what if everybody just never forgave jeffrey star for his past what if everybody didn't do that and and here's the thing the argument that keeps coming up the argument that keeps coming up is the predatory behavior okay and this is an issue that i've had and i have no problem saying this but like a lot of people were equating anything that happened during uh uh the harvey winestein era everybody was equating it with that and like harvey winestein was an absolute monster still is an absolute monster but anything that was like a lesser version of that they were automatically getting compared with harvey winestein and you guys like this is why black and white thinking is such a mother effort like to just categorize everybody in the same situations is absolutely ridiculous and that's what that's what pewdiepie was speaking out against like what did james charles do what did james charles do like he promoted a competitor this this kind of opened the door for tati westbrook to talk about um james charles's other behaviors but but at the end of the day at the end of the day what what james charles was doing is nowhere near what we've seen with like you know people like austin jones or even even uh uh we don't have like you know criminal charges against pro jared like like i i just don't see how we can put him in that same box but i'm glad too because pewdiepie vocalizing this and showing another perspective it's made more creators come out and just kind of talk about how this is kind of unfair like this is kind of unfair what's happening to james charles like james charles definitely needs to take some licks like i've been sitting here and thinking about like okay during this time you know should i be making these videos and everything like that because it's building up uh you know on the james charles content but one of the reasons because i'm only trying to check my motivation one of the reasons is i want to offer a different perspective i want to offer a different perspective because it is so easy it is so easy to hop on the hate train during these situations right but another thing is it's like hey man like for all creators for all of us for anybody in the public eye like this is what happens this is what we signed up for when a controversy strikes we have signed up to get our our our butts whooped by the community and everything like that but that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that we have to lose our complete sense of logic in in this entire situation so i'm glad that more creators are opening up and being vocal about this and speaking up about this i hope i hope it sways public opinion a little bit more but again like in the grand scheme of things i think this is ridiculous and something i mentioned on twitter was this all right and maybe it's a little virtue signaling on my part but we we blow these things up to this huge magnitude like like james charles was just ruining the lives of people but what if everybody what if everybody who unsubscribed from james charles donated a dollar to the Polaris project or even rain and those are two organizations that helps real victims you know what i'm saying like what if everybody just donated a dollar but no so many of us are just gonna sit here or just go rant and rave about james charles like he's this this monster you know what i mean and a lot of it is just ridiculous because not many people out there are doing good in the world so take a second and think about what your priorities are when you're getting upset and outraged about these things like how much how much time do we spend in our own communities trying to make this world a better place but we're so quickly to just judge and demonize other people again like i said i'm going to make a follow-up video because i don't think i don't think the the way people are painting james charles is doing any favors to the lgbt community or just i don't know i think it's gotten out of control and i want to speak up about it but that's for another video all right but anyways good on you cutie pie do your thing blue if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you
