didn't wanna do this!
I really didn't wanna do this!
ladies and gentlemen something came for me in the post
this morning
and I wasn't happy to receive it
I finally got my replacement drama card...
actually this is a waterstone's book card
I lost my drama card like, a year ago
never got a replacement but boom!
one arrived for me this morning didn't it!
done so well to not talk about drama on this channel
to stay out of other people's business
but this is my business
I didn't want this!
alright, so I'm gonna tell you guys a story
because...
because there are a butt-tonne of comments on my channel right now
that are really quite mean and many of you won't know what they are about
so, before I begin telling you this story
I think it's extremely important that I say to you now
the other party involved in this story
Do not go to that persons channel and send them horrible things
we don't do that
this persons commenters are doing that to me right now I'm getting a lot of bull shit from this persons fans
we don't do that
Let's prove that we're different
if you go to that persons channel and you send them hate
even if you think you're just defending me
you're no pal of mine
ok? I'm gonna see you as someone who doesn't respect my wishes
don't go there and send horrible things
I am gonna link to the video in the description below so you can make your own mind
about this "drama"
but
do not be nasty
there is no point
do not dislike
there is no point, ok?
as far as I'm concerned, this is...kinda been resolved-ish
now. uuhm, and I'm not mad about it
I'm just...I still don't know how I feel about it so...
anyway
without further a-do
ok, so our story begins yesterday evening
I finished filming and editing yesterdays video
I'm relaxing, y'know
I'm in my dressing gown, I'm about to settle down for the night
I'm gonna go read a book and have a bath and...
masturbate to dean ambrose, I don't fucking know! ok? It's a typical Monday night
he's on the fist-list ok? (o_O)
fucking judge me!
I recieve a tweet...saying "you need to check out this persons video"
"it's a bit similar to yours"
and I was just, you know, of curiosity, like "ookay I'll check it out, whatever"
up comes a video from a German youtuber called Kelly
I've never head of Kelly before
and obviously she speaks German, she's very big Germany
I had not heard of her. The title of this video is:
"Am I ugly?"
It says that in German
now a couple of days prior to this I had uploaded a video called
"AM I UGLY?"
In which I used a , a website where you can find out how pretty you are
I'm 75% pretty!
It's going on my grave
now this part, ok "open bracket"
I am in no way, shape or form saying
That I am the only youtuber who could possible take this quiz on youtube
and anyone else who does that
after me
is unorigional
That is not what I am saying
I need you to hear me out on this, ok?
I'm up my own arse
but i'm not THAT up my own arse
ok? I mean the last two videos have literally been what people were calling a
"pewdiepie style video" ok?
nobody is completely original, however,
hear me out
"close bracket"
I start watching this video, now I don't understand German
I'm the first person to say "I don't understand German" , ok?
never learned it
I'm not understanding a fuckin' word of this video. I don't know what the hells goin' on
however, not only has Kelly used, uh, the am I ugly test thingy
anyone can do that, ok? by all means do!
I'm probably not even the first youtuber who has used that on youtube!
but not only has she used that
but
her mannerisms and
the
dramatic kind of
build up of things seemed extremely similar
and I don't even speak the language
there were some similarities, and I was like
oookaaay? I'm gonna have to look into this
so I go to twitter
and I share her video. and I ask "hey do any of you guys speak German I feel like my video might have been ripped of
I'm gonna be on drama channels by sundown!
or something like that, right?
I recieve
so many tweets
from people who speak fluent German
saying that this video
is basically following the exact same kind of theme
people are saying that there are jokes I used that she has used
some people went so far as to say that it is basically
uhhm
the same video
like word for word
I don't know, I would , I certainly wouldn't go that far with it I don't believe it is a word for word
but apparently it is so,so,so similar
That it could not have been a coincidence
at this point in time, like
I'm pretty incensed, I'm pretty mad about this
this girl has taken my video
spoke it in german
and just not...
not, acknowledged the original or anything like I said, man,
you can use the website
I didn't invent the website I don't own the website
I'm probably not the first person to use the website
but if you're gonna upload the same content like, three days or so
after me
it's just, it's kinda
It's kind of courtesy to just credit the orignal
you know? it's, its, it's, just it's, it's what is done. It's just manners to do so
So i'm starting to get a little bit testy, you know a lot of you guys will know that
I'm not the nicest person sometimes when I'm mad
alright I can be a bit of a c**t alright?
let's just put that out there
so I send the little sort of, passive aggressive tweet or whatever, you know, sort of being like
"hey you should at least credit the videos you steal!" *snaps fingers*
alright I was feeling, I was feeling like a dick. I'm sorry
minutes go by no reply I'm still getting people tweeting me like"this video is a complete rip-off of yours. This girl has stolen
and apparently I'm also being told by twitter this is not the first time this youtuber has done this with other youtubers videos
such as Shane Dawson
this is what I'm hearing, ok
and then a couple of minutes later, I'm told that suddenly a , Uh credit has appeared in the description
and lo and behold I go and check and a credit has been added. Inspired by Emma Blackery
cool
fair enough
alright, she apologised
and I accept that. Kinda as far as I though it would go
up until about 10 minutes ago
when I saw that she had uploaded a video
talking about it!
nice one!
I was gonna leave it be.
you know? I was happy to just, you know what? everyone makes mistakes, ok?
people forget to credit sometimes it happens. maybe you video was
really, really similar and maybe that wasn't a coincidence
but people learn from their mistakes, ok?
then
she makes a, uh video
talking about me
I'm gonna, I'm gonna play it right now
Just so I can refresh my memory of what she said
emma,emma,emma I'm sorry for taking your video idea
I interpreted it in my way
there's not much to say about a website like this, I guess you know that
and you believe people on the internet telling you otherwise
people on the...internet
yeah! I believe the like 30+ tweets from people who had no reason to lie about you
well I guess you're lucky you haven't been kidnapped as a child
I'm fucking sorry what?!
I feel like that's maybe got lost in translation or something I don't
what does that mean?!
because I believe the 30 or so people that tweeted me
telling me you stole my video. you're surprised that I wasn't groomed online?
i'm guessing you're joking
EMMA I'M JOKING!
ok, your joking
still a bit weird to say though
yo I'm sorry for getting you so aggressive, ok?
"I'm sorry for stealing your entire fucking video and monetising it
and not crediting you ok?"
now, but I guess it won't bother you because you understand everything anyways don't you?
I admit it...alright? I don't know German
I, I even said that. I acknowledged that
but the good news is I also have a friend in real life who speaks german!
who I've known for quite a while.
and I sat down with him and he went through the video for me.
and even he said
it's also a little bit more than just inspired. I think she was just unlucky that someone found it
the rest of the video is in german
and obviously as you like to point out, I don't understand what you are saying
again
I forgive you
Kelly you have apologised and I forgive you for it, ok?
there's no need to be a dick about it. I know I was a little bit testy
but I think you'll understand that
if you had this happen to you, you wouldn't feel too great about it either
I'm gonna try and put it in a way that I think everybody, english and german
can understand
so imagine that you are at school and you are taking and art class
you're sitting there and your task for the hour is to draw a vase of flowers
so you're sitting sketching a vase that's in front of you on the table. the person next to you
also has to sketch that vase
however
they're not looking at the vase. they're looking at your sketchbook
and what you're drawing and how you're drawing it
and drawing it the same
instead of doing their own thing
now, Kelly you say you're doing your own interpretation of the video
and that there's not really much you can say about the website
ok, I think really it was the lack of credit originally
and just the fact that there were tonnes of people saying that the video was so similar
it wasn't a coincidence
it's basically ripped off
but, you know, like, I'm-I'm done with it now
you know? I don't-I don't want this
I don't want...to have beef with people
especially with languages I don't know
I don't wanna be on fucking
scarce!
and DramaAlert™©®
alright
I got no time for it. I'm here to have fun
I'm also here to protect my intellectual property
but there you go
it was not because of the website you used
it's not to do with that. It's the fact that you did it like, two days after
you even ripped off a joke
apparently, according to a lot of people. and it just seemed very similar in your mannerisms
and how you came across
maybe it's just a MASSIVE bit of coincidence
that not only did you do the website thing
which was inspired by me, as you admitted
but also that maybe we just have the exact same personality
I don't know
but Kelly I hope that you do enjoy this channel. genuinely
and if any of you guys would like to caption my videos in German
so that Kelly can translate my jokes word for word in the future
that would be great and really helpful
"I'M JOKING"
anyway that's all I'm gonna say about this topic
but, like I don't. If it gets worse it gets worse
I'm not gonna talk about it anymore
I'm done. It's cool and as I say guys
please don't go and leave horrible things even if her fans are doing it to me
please just don't retaliate. don't respond we're different
we don't do that
let's show other communities how positive we can be
and how we don't stoop to that kind of level
ok?
thank you so much for watching guys
and I'll catch you later!
FUCK ME!
