like over five million other people in the last 24 hours
I saw the preview for Shane Dawson's new series the beautiful life of Jeffree
star but in this video I wanted to discuss something that I don't see
anybody else talking about what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired
soul where we talk about the problem but focus on this solution and if you're new
to my channel what I try to do is take different topics going on in the YouTube
community and trying to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our
own mental and emotional well-being so if you're into that stuff make sure you
subscribe and ring that notification bell and if you're not yet make sure you
follow me over on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired soul alright so before I
jump into this I just read a phenomenal article by Julia Alexander from The
Verge I'm gonna link that down in the description it's about this upcoming
Shane Dawson series which every star and everything but anyways Julia is a
phenomenal phenomenal journalist and she writes a bunch of great articles over at
the verge so make sure you check that article out it's gonna be linked down in
the description below alright so anyways let's jump into this why am I making
this video why am i doing it so my my thing my thing I am absolutely
fascinated some of you know this about me I'm fascinated with human nature
psychology why we do the things we do why we think the way we think and all
that and I'm really curious why the situation leading up to this series with
Jeffree star is so much different than one year ago the series with Jake Paul
so this video isn't meant to stir anything up I'm actually really curious
and I would love all of your feedback down in the comments below like I want
you to kind of listen to the topics that I'm gonna bring up and just let me know
your opinions and your thoughts and theories down in the comments below just
wondering why the YouTube community responds certain ways for certain
situations and other for other situations alright so one year
ago was when my channel actually started gaining some momentum because I covered
the Shane Dawson inside the mind of Jake Paul series now what a lot of people
haven't mentioned a brought up is that one year ago when it was even announced
that Shane Dawson was doing this series with Jake Paul people were freaking out
like Shane's fans were freaking out non fans of Shane's were freaking out
because of this Jake Paul is a controversial figure and
one of the main concerns that everybody had was this wasn't gonna be a true
docu-series because Jake Paul was going to have Shane Dawson edit out a bunch of
stuff right this is the narrative that was going on like Philip DeFranco even
had a whole segment talking about how people were freaking out and concerned
that Shane Dawson was making a series with Jay Paul and I was just kind of
thinking about it right like we've known about this Geoffrey star series for way
longer than Jake Poe and I'm sitting there I'm like okay both are kind of
controversial but I pretty much just want to bring this up and have a
conversation and just try to see what your guys's thoughts are on why these
two situations are different see what's really interesting is everybody was
really worried about Jake Paul having Shane Dawson edit out a bunch of stuff
right but I haven't heard that come up at all with Geoffrey star but what's
really weird is jeffree star is actually known for that so those of you
who don't remember just months ago during the whole James Charles and tatty
Westbrook drama that was coming up it was shown that during that time Geoffrey
start deleted thousands and thousands of tweets right so we have physical
evidence that Geoffrey star is somebody who sweeps things under the rug but it
hasn't come up in the same way that it did for Jake Paul so something I'm
always doing is I'm trying to compare one scenario to another
seeing what's similar and what's different so in Jake Paul situation when
that series started what were the primary accusations against Jake Paul
and the primary one was that Jake Paul is a money-hungry dick all right let me
think about it like Jake Paul's brother did that terrible thing in Japan but
what did Jake Paul do now there were also situations where you
know he had problems with his ex-girlfriend's and everything like that
as well and I covered that extensively when I was going over that but when we
look at the situation like Jake Paul is a money-hungry dick right but Jeffrey
star is like a bajillion air but it's praised right its admired it's looked up
to and I'm sitting there I'm like okay why is it bad over here but not bad over
there but also in comparing the controversies going back like one of the
most notable ones and even though this is you know from years ago
jeffrey star was on camera multiple times dropping the n-bomb with the hard
are all right and going back to kind of scrubbing the internet like I've covered
a few jeffree star topics and whenever I look for videos of those old clips it's
very very hard to find I think the last time I even had to find it on Mike Vimeo
or something like that like Jeffrey saw is very good scrubbing the Internet of
his past but also in comparing situations I just released a video about
Laura Lee the other day and if you remember when Laura Lee and Manny MUA
and everybody was all caught up in you know drama get in Laura Lee had some
tweets that people deemed as racist but I also want to note Laura Lee did not
drop racial slurs in those tweets but people are still having a poem with that
but for some reason Jeffrey star has been given a pass again I just want to
hear from you like why do you think that is but most recently and
here's what's just kind of on my mind most recently during the James Charles
and talk to Westbrook controversy Jeffrey star was going off and we see
that Shane Dawson was covering it at that time and I'm interested to see
what's gonna happen but anyways during that time not only did Jeffrey star
delete thousands of tweets but he labeled James Charles as a sexual
predator possibly an abuser somebody who has committed sexual assault like very
serious allegations alright like extremely serious allegations alright so
nobody's really wondering how much we're going to see of what was actually
happening in that scenario so again I want to ask you the audience please
leave a comment down below why do you think the Jeffrey star series is being
received so much differently than the Jake Paul series all right here is my
quick theory on it all right Jake Paul is not part of the
in-group and by the way I've been reading a lot of books on like
evolutionary psychology and group psychology and all that kind of stuff
but Jake Paul is not part of the in-group all right when you look at
people like Shane Dawson and jeffrey star it makes sense like that's part of
the group like it's part of the beauty community group right and Jake Paul was
an outsider so it's kind of this us and them we're not accepting of people on
the outside now me I'm just a dude I'm not in the beauty community I'm not a
Jake Paul what do you thing like that and maybe that helps me get more of a an
outside perspective again this is just my theory but I think that's why Jake
Paul had such a different reaction because a lot of people who were tuning
into Shane Dawson obviously are not Jake Paul fans there's not much overlap there
so a lot of people were hoping Shane Dawson series was going to expose Jake
all what I think what I think is going on is when he does a series about
Jeffrey star who's part of the in-group part of the beauty community people
aren't looking for Shane Dawson to expose Jeffrey star people just want to
get behind the scenes with Jeffrey star now think about that real quick I don't
know let me know if you think that might be a good assumption all right but
anyways there are some people um who have talked about this like I don't want
to just say nobody's bringing this up like there is another youtuber named
that girl--she and here's a tweet from her that actually had over 800 likes on
Twitter and it said listen Shane was the first boy I legit loved since I was
young seeing him do this series with Jeffery
star hurts my soul I don't judge anyone for loving who they love but I just
cannot move past so much Jeffrey star stuff I can't and I hate this I can't
even watch it I don't know man so again there are other people out there
bringing up this kind of stuff but um obviously this series is gonna get
millions and millions and millions and millions of views like insane amount of
videos right and we don't know how many parts it's gonna be like inside the mind
of Jay Paul was like 8 or 9 videos or anything but my final thoughts on this I
will say this I have faith in Shane Dawson because with all of the the
skepticism people had going into the Jake Paul series I think Shane Dawson
did an amazing job he didn't go easy on Jake Paul he asked him tough questions
he covered some very tough subjects and everything like that so I asked faith I
have faith in this upcoming series but again let me know your thoughts down in
the comments below about why you think these situations are just kind of
received differently all right but anyways before I go if you want to I
wrote a book called cancelled inside YouTube canceled culture where I not
only share my experience about being canceled earlier this year but I
actually have a chapter in there why people like Jeffrey star are immune to
cancel culture and I also talked about the
Sall situation dis cancel culture in YouTube as a whole so who want to check
out my book it's available in both ebook and audiobook format and it's gonna be
linked down in the description and there's a pin comment down below alright
and don't forget to check out that article from Julia Alexander alright
