tfue just came out and released his official statement after the
announcement came out that he was leaving the faze banks and the clan so in this video
we're gonna be talking about the aspect of this story where phase banks is
trying to emotionally manipulate t Fuu
what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired so 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 different stories that are going on on YouTube or twitch or just
some pop culture in general and trying to see what lessons we can learn from
them so the end of that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that
notification about and real quick announcement I have recorded episode 4
of the podcast and it is going to be going live on all the different
streaming services very soon just waiting for my submission to get
approved and all that jazz right now they are actually up and streaming
format on the YouTube channel if you want to check them out there anyways
make sure you're following me on instagram and twitter at the rewired
soul so you can fail today once the stream about the stream but the podcast
gets lost all right okay so yeah i want to talk about this story because a topic
that i feel a lot of us need to discuss is emotional manipulation i also want to
talk things like self-seeking and again the point of my channel so look at these
stories and try to look at you know what's going on how can i relate to this
is this happening with a relationship I have because on face banks and he he's
very hurt by this because you considered Tfue a family and everything like that
and we need to discuss this all right so anyways I'm not gonna be diving into the
whole legal aspect of it like that is way above my pay grade I'm sure somebody
like Phillip DeFranco will discuss that but anyways let's talk about this story
just kind of summarize it real quick so it was just announced that Tfue is
actually suing the faze clan to get out of his contract the contract talks about
how you know there are stipulations in there like face paint
percent and he gets 20% there's some things about brand deals and everything
like that it was a three year contract all right and till my understanding I
believe T fou has been under that contract for about a year or so okay so
he's suing them now there was other things in that contract things like you
know the face pan was promoting like underage drinking and gambling and doing
like stunts that you know hurt him and everything like that but anyways T foo
in his statement apologized to face banks in the face plan because he wanted
the lawyer to not add that stuff in there so if you get apologize for that
but anyways no long after that these banks made a lot of mistakes
he is very emotionally driven and in situations like this I talked about this
in my last video like you gotta chill out like once lawyers are getting
involved in everything you need to zip it but he immediately went on dramaalert
with Kim Starr he did an interview there and then he released a video on his own
channel titled dear T foo okay this is where the emotional manipulation started
to come in alright so again I get it I understand why faze banks is upset why
he's hurt by this but one of the issues that a lot of us struggle with is having
relationships that are transactional alright and self-seeking so so many of
us we follow this delusion that we are nice we are good people we're doing
things for other people right and if these banks mind and it's something that
he said in his video is that he he gave this kid T foo a chance right so and
it's true it's very true and maybe that's why people stay with them as long
as they did right but one of the things that we had to ask ourselves like what
I'm looking at this situation that's like how long do we owe some body for
helping us okay like there's no there's no like strict guideline of how long do
we owe some buddy right like the way this is being portrayed is that it's
like a like a life debt okay now banks has brought up the fact that T foo
didn't communicate this with him and everything like that in my opinion and I
talked just a little bit in my last video just
about these sports at contracts and players getting screwed or even like
youtubers and influencers getting screwed in everything like that like
listen this might have been T foods only course of action and he might have been
advised you by his lawyers or banks mentions that his family might be
involved and things like that but here's the thing I've seen face banks pop off
on Twitter even more what I don't think or it's probably just something face
banks doesn't want to bring up is that t food was locked into a three year
contract okay three years three years and obviously this kid hit his stride he
is like the number one fortnight player right now him in ninja always Duke it
out going back and forth but that was a three year contract so a new contract
would just lock this dude down even longer you see what I mean and something
I was talking about in my last video was in this day and age there is not really
a need for an organization to to even be involved right like I guess in t fus
instance like it's good they give him that boost but like a one-year contract
is like probably what you should get into just my suggestion my advice if
anybody's getting into the YouTube sphere or the twitch streamer feets fear
but like I said like banks is holding this over t fus head and it's kind of
messed up because here's the thing like I want you to I want you to ask yourself
this like imagine imagine that you were you
were having a hard time in your life and your friend hooked you up with a job
okay your friend hooked you up as a job you took that job you were forever
grateful you think them you think them you think them you go to that job you do
your best at that job you don't make your friend look stupid all right
you just kill it at that job okay and then after that job for a year you
finally just up and leave for a better job
alright like does your friend have the right to get mad at you okay like how
long were you supposed to stick around like how long was
was that favor good for you see what I mean like this is something that happens
in abusive relationships as well I'm not saying face banks was abusing him but
just to give you guys some more context of what you might be dealing with this
happens a lot in relationships this is often why people feel trapped in
relationships because there's this kind of like power dynamic and the other
person is holding stuff over their head so say for example there is a man who
date's a woman and it is an abusive relationship right but she is a
stay-at-home mom takes care of the kids and he works he pays the bills
he puts food on the table he pays you know for the cars and whatever it is
right and she can't leave she can't do anything because he keeps saying how
much he takes care of her and she owes him right this is what we call being
held as an emotional hostage somebody is playing with your emotions and using
that as leverage to make you feel bad about the situation now in the situation
with teeth ooh and face banks like this is like a business thing you see what I
mean and this is one of the reasons why they say like don't like mix like
business with friendship and everything like that but I really want you guys to
think about this because this is something that's been on my mind like
I've had people I hope people help me out okay like seven years ago when I was
first getting clean and sober I've had people who helped me out immensely and
like since then I've had people who have relapsed people who have just stopped
being the person that they used to be and I've had people try to hold that
over my head and I have to set up boundaries with them and say yo like I
appreciate everything that you've done for me but this relationship isn't
working anymore and I have to do that and like aside from the fact that this
whole situation with T foo is like groundbreaking when it comes to like
eSports and talent agencies and the laws and like how contracts are written
on this kind of new landscape aside from all of that what I think people should
be taking away from this situation is is just knowing that you don't have to stay
in a relationship if that relationship is no longer working out for you all
right now to end this video I just want to give my personal thoughts and
opinions if I was tpho if I was T foo in this situation now I and I don't know
everything that's going on there might be more going on that I know but just
from what we've seen this seems to me like T food gave them a lot right they
they had him for a year you represent a faze clan okay and it is undeniable that
until he signed up with phase he was relatively unknown all right
phase banks talks about that in his interview became so and then in its own
video and everything now there might be some other things going on I think
cloaks cokcy mentioned that you know t food was having a problem with
management and everything like that but in a perfect world t food would have
gone up to banks that said hey man I appreciate everything that you've done
but I have to get a lawyer involved so I can get out of this contract like I no
longer want to be part of this organization like just all my kind of
like a friend level like I think that would have been cool but there are many
things that we don't know about this situation you know what I mean and it's
one of those things to like have you ever just like had to bounce out of a
situation because you knew you knew that if they you try to have a conversation
with them they would somehow figure out a way to manipulate you into not leaving
that situation right like maybe it was even a party right like you just left
the party because if you went and told the people at the party that you were
leaving they were going to like peer pressure you and talk you into staying
you're like listen I can't even have that conversation because I know I will
get pressured in the stands so I just gotta balance you see what I mean so in
this in this overall story I want you guys to understand that like you
sometimes you got to make rough and sometimes taking care of yourself is
going to hurt other people's feelings like I hope once all the dust settles
with this thing like teeth ooh and banks can still be friends and all that but I
also hope banks understands that t food does not owe him for the rest of his
life just because face gave him a chance you know what I mean I think I think
face banks would do really well by seeing how Gary Vaynerchuk runs his
business like Gary Vee is excited for his employees to move on to bigger and
better things he helps that way he will help them find
a better job like if if there's something that they want to pursue he
will link them up with his connections you know what I mean but like I just
don't like when relationships are transactional like like these banks was
like rambling off all the things he's done for t foo and it's like alright
dude we get it are you gonna hold that over his head forever you know anyways
let me know your thoughts on this let me know if you can relate to any of the
situations I talked about where somebody's trying to keep you in a
relationship that you're not comfortable in anymore and you've had to do
something to leave like anyways that's all I got for this video if you liked
