what you do have is a talent Cody ko and I challenge you bro to take that talent of
like being funny and put it elsewhere into something positive that like does
it doesn't create so much hate that's so that's really the main point I'm just
trying to make here Jesus Christ thank goodness I was one of these sunglasses
from the bright light of the massive virtue signal that Jake Paul just sent
out 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 what's happening in the YouTube
community and try to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own
lives so make sure you subscribe and win that notification bell so I was sitting
well on my girlfriend Tristan now we were just catching up on some YouTube
which is actually interesting for the topic of this video which is
cyberbullying commentary channels who use comedy like we were getting caught
up on danny gonzalez drew gooden jarvis johnson leon lush and all of a sudden I
was browsing around on Twitter and I thought Jake Paul and cody KO were
swimming I'm like what's happening and I see a bunch of people tweeting about
this am i all right cool let's sit down watch this video to see what's going on
and oh my god so oh I'll summarize this video for you a little bit Jake Paul he
just made a video confronting kotico saying kotico is basically a cyber
bullying is bullying people I understand why Jake Paul did this has a young
audience and he's trying to send out this message that bullying is wrong
cyberbullying is wrong and cody KO is kind of promoting that right I get it I
get the message that Jake Paul was trying to send out here's the thing I
see this I see this as the same situation with Geoffrey star were like
sometimes you're the wrong messenger to send this out okay so Jake Paul in his
video says things like this I'm not youtube's hero I'm not here to like save
the day and and like you know who do like all this
stuff but this guy Cody ko is a bully he's a cyber bully and I hate I mean
hate cyber bullies like I hate it it's the worst thing in the world people are
hiding behind their computers talking shit about other people it's consumed
our generation it's consumed our society and I think it's largely in part to do
with these negative trolls online whether 2.5 million subscribers
unfortunately what most of us are hearing is this hey everybody I'm about
to call out Cody Co for cyberbullying but please please do me a favor and
forget that I shamelessly sell products to children and / promote them I have
been caught emotionally abusing my previous girlfriends and and that I
cheated on them oh oh oh and please forget that I promoted a gambling scheme
to children as well and that's the problem
that is the problem all right you are not the messenger to send out this
message about cyber bullying because you are somebody who is not a good person
objectively in most people's eyes you are not a good person you take advantage
of children there have been cheating on women you've been using your power to
get instagram models in bed like oh this was exposed right and now Jake Paul is
trying to come out and say we need to send out a message of positivity to
everybody and it's like yeah I get it okay so cyber bullying is something that
you know I look at I look at this because we have kids who are struggling
with things like depression and anxiety if cyber bullying is definitely a factor
like I was having a conversation with one of my friends the other day who's
about my age I'm 33 years old and like I can't imagine growing up with social
media right now we're like like there's gonna be a rumor that goes around your
school and like maybe some people hear about it maybe some people don't but no
social media like it would be crazy for to be back back in school right now what
everybody could just blast each other on social media and it's
both secrets and photos and all sorts of things like that sucks
cyberbullying is not cool but here's the thing when it comes to channels like
kotico or the other commentary channels that I mentioned I think it's important
to understand the difference okay and because I don't really see this as
cyberbullying and and here's a few reasons why so a great example is last
night my beautiful girlfriend Tristan and I we went out and we got to see one
of our favorite comedians Tom Segura okay so if any of you follow Tom Segura
months ago last year in 2018 or something he
bullied the entire state of Louisiana okay Louisiana was pissed he had a bit
about the the border wall and he was talking about how you know we should
build a wall around the state of Louisiana because it sucks right and
people in Louisiana got pissed like Tom Segura got so much hate so many emails
and everything like that and I think they like banned him from Louisiana or
people are calling to benefit Louisiana or whatever and it's like this is comedy
like so last night Tom Segura you know he went onstage but he also had an
opener and what's fascinating and I'm not gonna spoil it for any of you who
are gonna go see Thompson Garant or is that comedians comedians have to
dedicate a part of their segments to talking about how offended people get
right how offended people get over these these trivial ridiculous things like
I'll tell you something that I've learned about my own mental health is to
laugh at yourself okay like that will help distress you you know what I mean
like here's a great example something I learned is embarrassment is completely
subjective right what embarrasses me might not embarrass you okay once I came
to that reality I realized that other people don't have the control to
embarrass me it is a feeling that I get and nobody can put on me because if I
learn how to laugh at myself and laugh about these things I take power away
from people if you're ever in my youtube comments on Twitter like when people
talk trash to me and people bully me I used to post this stuff on my
Instagram and Twitter all the time like where people would like make a fat
joke or something like that I would just laugh about it right like they don't
have power over me like I already know these things about myself
so here's the other issue with Jake Paul's argument about this being cyber
bullying like where's the line where's the line because in my opinion kotico
got ambushed I was telling Tristan while we're watching it like everybody should
have a Rolodex on the the BS that Jake Paul's done over the years right like I
think Jake Paul is a fair target okay but where's this line drawn right like
are you only allowed to make fun and poke fun at people as long as it doesn't
hurt their feelings because the problem is is that you won't know it hurts their
feelings until you make that joke because some people are gonna take it
better than others right like Chris D'Elia is one of my favorite comedians
as well and he said this but I've heard a bunch of comedians say this I listen
to a lot of podcasts of comedians but Chris D'Elia was saying like here's the
thing about comedy every single joke is going to offend somebody okay like that
is just the nature of comedy okay but when we're talking about this line
talking about cyber bullying two of my favorite commentators are John Oliver
and Trevor Noah so John Oliver hosts the show last week
tonight Trevor Noah hosts the daily show most of their show is making fun of
people in power okay like they they catch you up to speed on what's going on
in the world today John Oliver does more deep dives and everything like that but
he makes fun of people constantly even like talking a little bit about this in
a video he did about public shaming and how they really like sit down and look
at the situation and say all right should we should we like say make fun of
this person because I might send a mob after them and you know when is it
justified and everything so I respect that John Oliver opened up and talked
about this but our John Oliver and Trevor Noah and their writing teams no
longer to a mate make fun of like politicians who are scummy people are
they not allowed to make fun of those people because they're doing crappy
things now one would argue someone like Lele
pons isn't really hurting anybody but there are some shady things about Lele
pons that I won't dive into and I don't even know if it's confirmed
but anyways anyways like who's free game and this is an issue that we see with
the commentary community so in my opinion I think a lot of these
commentary channels have some pretty good ethical guidelines around who they
make fun of who they poke fun at who they quote unquote bully and if you
watch them and see what they're saying they'll mention how they're punching up
alright like they punch up so it's somebody with less power poking fun at
somebody with more power now one of the things that gets tricky is when you
become a successful commentary channel then you start to get more power and it
starts to equal a little bit right but they've built an entire brand off of
punching up you see what I'm saying so that's where it gets a little bit tricky
like in the Jarvis Johnson video that he was just talking about he was making fun
of an app developer called voodoo and he mentioned how voodoo has been sued
and/or is in legal situations because they rip off indie creators right so the
fact that Jake Paul is coming in to to talk about how kotico these to spread
positivity and love and quit bullying and stuff like that like Jake Paul is
somebody who I feel is free game when it comes to being made fun of right Logan
Paul is somebody who I consider it being free game when it comes to being made
fun of like I mentioned in another video I think Logan Paul's doing better on his
journey of becoming a better person Jake Paul we haven't seen any changes
from like even in his documentary series with Shane Dawson like he he talked
about the nerd city exposed video and like he's still justified all his
actions of shamelessly over promoting to children right like Jake Paul isn't
somebody who's become this better human being and that's the issue so the last
point I'll make is I think people like Jake paul and Jeffrey star their
messages would be heard a lot better if when they were calling out certain
behavior they also admitted to their own faults something that I try to do a lot
is when I call our behaviors I admit to being that person before as well and
coming from more of a place of empathy rather than attacking but the issue is
is that when Jake Paul does stuff like this it's just massive virtue signaling
and he's trying to you know create this false narrative that he's just some
amazing dude and walking around like he's holier than thou no Jake Paul you
screw up more than anybody so confronting kotico was absolutely
ridiculous alright but I would love to know your thoughts on this topic what do
you think about being able to laugh at yourself do you think what kotico and
other commentary channels are doing is bullying let me know down in the
comments below all right bye anyways that's all I got for this video if you
