 This Korean influencer joins a live stream and the interaction goes sideways. Yeah, we gotta talk about this because this has 40,000 comments on the internet, guys. No matter how silly it seems on the surface level, clearly it is causing some major, major engagement and controversy. Long story short, Gemini Jury is a streamer. She joins these two Latina girls stream from Dallas and everything just goes crazy. Let's run the clip. Hello. Hello. ¿Cómo estás? Can you speak English? You don't sound fluent. A little bit. You don't sound... You don't sound fluent in Spanish, so... So why did you join us? We don't want a bout of you. Me? Yeah, you. Okay. Okay, bye. Okay, bye. Annyeong. It's been 20 years out of here. Jesus Christ. Bye. Bye for the snakes. Bye. All right, everybody, if you're ready for us to break down what the comments sections say and also our own takeaways, then please hit that Like button and check out other episodes of the Hot Pop Boys. David, in general, I just feel like it got off to a weird start. Yeah, I mean, I think she enters the girl's stream, says Hola, ¿Cómo estás? The girls, they're sort of like thrown off by that. That is definitely a weird way to start the interaction. A bit of something. It kind of snowballed from there. They're getting catty. They're firing shots back and forth. It's awkward. It's cringe. But then it ends off with the girls in Dallas doing the eye pull. Yeah, in my... I would say both parties are at some fault. I think that the percentages are different. I think that one side is more at fault and ended off the interaction in the worst way that they could or one of the worst ways. However, I mean, you know, jumping into different streams, I think when you meet random people and you have open streams and you're joining streams, I just think you have to assume that some of the interactions are going to go very well. I feel like that world is like that. Yeah. When you look at Omegle clips or you look at... I mean, I think different platforms have different reputations, but it just seems like I've seen a lot of these in modern day 2023. I don't know. For some reason, they were calling it like a battle. I don't know what type of battle this is because I think the tone of the battle is a rap battle or a roast battle where you just get at each other. But anyways, guys, moral of the story is don't pull your eyes back on the internet. It's the wrong move because you will... the internet will come after you. Let's get into the comments section. Somebody said, I thought the eyes are desired in 2023. So why are people using it to mock people and why are people being ashamed of their own features? I just don't really understand it. Yeah. This one's really out... The jury's out on this one where it's like, are the eyes attractive or not because a lot of models in the fashion world, they try to do the fox eyes, but that's for like a fashion reason. And also, are the fox eyes only good on Western people who don't normally have fox eyes? But if you're naturally born with fox eyes, then it's not cool. I just think the eye thing always reminds people of how America sees us as perpetual foreigners and as aliens. And it's like, no matter what you do, you know, Gemini jury, you could be this pretty girl, Korean... Rich, whatever, right? Twitch, Streamer, whatever, but you're still... Gotta take your face, you know? No, it feels like sometimes, and I'm not saying for sure this happened in this interaction, but it feels like when somebody is losing an interaction and it's interracial with the Asian, the final thing could be like, basically like, you're a whack Asian. And that ends it. No matter... Even if you were beating me the whole time, I can pull this out and it's like, yeah, but at least I'm not a whack Asian. Yeah, just you're Asian and that's just bad. That's how it felt. I'm not saying she meant it fully like that. When she did that, I'm just saying that's how it felt. And I think that that's why those girls got flamed. Some people said too much, some people said the right amount. Anyway, you guys let us know in the comments section. Somebody said racism is usually parenting most of the time and some people seek more into it as they get older, but other people regret it as they get older and grow out of racism. Mm-hmm, yeah. Somebody said we should all have to join the military because this person that you hate is gonna risk their life for you even more than some of your best high school buddies. So that's what's going to break down racism. I think what this person's alluding to is that a lot of Americans are not united by really any single common goal. And this is what people are saying when they're like, oh, there's no more war in the world. So no war can't unite all the men and women in this country under one goal, you know, because we don't have a common enemy. And I don't know, it's like a really complicated question, but I do think that there's just not enough bonding agents here. Yeah, also I would say that who's to say that if you didn't put them in a room for a few hours that they wouldn't be able to make up like adults. You know what I mean? But it's just like the way the interactions go on the internet, they end at sort of this low point and then they get extrapolated. Well, I'm not gonna lie. I mean, Gemini, she's recording the stream. She's looking for interesting interactions. And I guess she got one. For sure. There are a lot of unspoken aspects to this. Somebody said, and this is probably the comment I saw the most, Andrew, they were probably jealous because of how much prettier she was. Her webcam was better. She looks better. Everything about her is better. So these other girls in Dallas were jealous of her. In my opinion, Andrew, power dynamics, whether spoken or unspoken, always come into play. Whether we're talking about looks, power dynamics, which is huge for women. Racial power dynamics. Socioeconomic power dynamics. Educational dynamics. There are a lot of dynamics that make up a reasoned pizza. There's a lot of slices. Somebody said, mocking is usually due to internal security. But also maybe some people are just me and spirited and think it's fun. Yeah, I mean, I would say in different cultures, perhaps teasing about stuff is more acceptable. You know what I mean? Talk to Andrew. A lot of people don't want to acknowledge this. I used to live in LA and I feel like Latinos and Joe, I can't say a specific group of Latinos, but they like to joke and I really don't think it's mean-spirited when they do that. Now, this girl, it had a tinge of mean-spirit, but I'm just saying people do joke around. But since they're not established friends or on a team together, I think it's different. So it was kind of wrong. Somebody says it was totally the Korean girls fault for entering their live stream and speaking Spanish to open it up. It really got the whole interaction off on a wrong foot. And of course, it snowballed. Ultimately, the Latina girls were more wrong, but they both were wrong. Yeah, I think this whole stream of comments here is kind of like pointing out how the Korean streamer entered their chat and then kind of started off with a weird phrase and then they, and then she didn't leave. And then like, I know, like I said, there is blame to go around. Actually, Andrew, this thing got so big that both parties have already issued reaction videos. The girls in Dallas, the Latina girls, they issued an apology video, but also Gemini, jury, she had to make a video explaining why she opened up in Spanish. So clearly, like I said, silly thing, but somehow we're all in the principal's office in the court of public opinion. We're all privy to all these things playing out. Somebody said they both just want Clowen to be famous, man. Nowadays, everybody will do everything, even if it's divisive, racially. God, everybody just wants to get Clowen. I hate 2023. It's true. It's true, man. It's true. And listen, I didn't fully want to make this video, but we're talking about this not because I just want to get like your clicks because you're going to click out in like 10 seconds if you don't see Gemini, Jerry, Popo. But basically, I want to talk about this video to have an actual conversation about it and to add value to the convo and not just leave and just like go on one side or the other. Somebody said, man, all this news nowadays, all this playground stuff, why is this even news and going viral, man? This is just dividing us as a country when we need to be coming together. I mean, I definitely think it's both. It's yes and no because obviously, think about it, Andrew, the news outlets, if they see 40,000 comments on the engagement section, that's newsworthy by the amount of people who want to demon newsworthy. However, you could also say why are we posting the most playground, juvenile, middle school tier reactions and then having this divide people emotionally. You know what a lot of people are forgetting? Is that the internet, it's global. It's global now. There is no American internet. Right, because a lot of people speak English at a fluent enough level to consume American internet in 2020. The internet does not cut off on America, American borders. You don't just leave the coast of LA and then it just shuts off. No. Somebody said, this is just the movie Idiocracy, a play, man. These two girls are going to have a bunch of kids get stuck in the middle of nowhere and this Korean streamer girl is a rich and going to be a doctor and she's pretty. This is the downfall of America. And somebody said, well, clearly I don't agree with you but there's certainly some class warfare here at play. I mean, yeah, I do think there was a lot of power dynamics like I said to my previous point, they go unspoken because they're too difficult or people cannot articulate them but they're certainly here at play. Someone blamed it on them being from Texas. Texas is known for basically excusing narrow-mindedness but the thing is the South Korean internet is absolutely relentless. So basically these girls did get a lot of online bullying afterwards especially I believe her name was Isabella. She also has a baby. So she's out trying to live her life but now she got all this heat on the internet for making a stupid gesture that she should have never made but it may have been, maybe she didn't deserve every ounce of flame. For sure. Let's be honest guys. The internet is going to overreact especially defending Gemini jury for a lot of reasons probably because of how she's looked, she's Korean. You know what I mean? There's so many reasons that go into this guys. Somebody said, you know, I'm central and South American myself and I have to admit we tease and insult and mock people for things that are considered un-PC in America. We call fat guys Gordo, we call fat women Gordas but if they were able to crack open some whiskey or tequila together, they could become friends if they had enough time together. Yeah, yeah, and here's the thing. They're not friends so that's why it's wrong but I do understand I've seen friend groups that I've seen even Asian friend groups namely my Filipino and Vietnamese friends go at each other, girl versus guy, teasing them about all types of stuff that would be considered very PG-13 if not R-related. Right, for certainly it varies culture to culture. Some people joke about things that would be considered off limits of people of another culture. It's friend group to friend group but the truth is they are not friends yet so then therefore the internet, you can't have that in play. All right guys, I'm sure we could go through all 40,000 internet comments. I do not want to. Let's just get to our final takeaways Andrew. Why is something as silly as this getting 40,000 comments of engagement? Because there was way, way, way, way, way, way way bigger stuff happening on the earth and the planet, even the Asian community than to focus on this but this gets all the attention. You know it's different if these were different characters in this situation and it happened somewhere else in different contexts like in real life like not over the internet. Then I think the internet's reaction is even different but since this was on a platform which I'm actually not sure which platform it is whether it was TikTok or Omegle but it was like it's on a platform that a lot of young people use so now they feel like oh my gosh are these the type of interactions I can expect as an Asian person moving forward. Now the truth is if you meet enough random people yes you will have interactions like this 100% you know what I mean? If you are going to put yourself out there you have to have thick skin. That's like us who used to do the videos like a man on the street interviews we used to interview random people on the street. Sometimes some people would turn us down or some people would wile out at us we had a guy who almost tried to smash our camera one time because he didn't want to be on camera I just had this guy the other day who said he wanted to fight me because he thought I was filming him so I'm saying like we have to if we're carrying a camera around and you're meeting random people and you're recording stuff you have to be thick skin. By the way that guy who tried to smash our cameras was just in the background we were not recording. Right I want to be clear. I want to be clear. Anyways but yeah what I'm saying is people you don't know how people are going to react. Yeah I would say long story short to sum up this micro interaction between Gemini Jury and the girls in Dallas I would say the girls in Dallas were 60 to 70% at fault Gemini Jury was 30% at fault but because the court of public opinion was so heavily weighted on Gemini Jury side I would say the other girls took 100% of the L or maybe 95% So I think there's a lot of dynamics that play into why that is though. For sure. Like who does the internet like more who is prettier, who is more powerful obviously like I said anytime you make it racial though you lose the moral grounds. It's true the internet is for the most part against racism which I do think and the silver lining of all this you know I don't think that they deserved all the hate that they got all the backlash but I don't think she's going to be pulling back her eyes again. I do not think she will ever do that again ever maybe to anybody at least on camera. Anyway let us know what you think in the comment section below guys let us know when do you think this is news worthy or just some internet stuff let us know what you think of it and let us know what you think of our analysis keep it civil until next time we'll hop out boys we out. Peace.
