Jazzy: Hello, welcome to a new video,
I'm joined by my favourite person, Benny.
B: Hello! Thank you.
For today's video, we are going to film... erm...
REACTING TO HATE COMMENTS!
We received many hate comments and positive comments too,
so I thought why not to react them today
the hate comments are mainly about deafness.
This is because our channel is related to deafness, as we are deaf.
So, I thought it would be interesting to go through them,
we will share our thoughts on them
this video is for fun, we are not being negative or anything.
Luckily the hate comments don't affect us,
because I know it is not worth to get upset over them,
really, the hate comments...
I never understand why people have time to type them.
If you have made hate comments, just don't do it again
as it will affect other people's mental health.
Benny: Mental Health is a big thing now,
we all need to reduce it.
J: Nowadays mental health is getting worse,
so just be kind.
B: #bekind.
J: So, I really hope you enjoy this video, let's get on with the video!
Oh my god, we have to say that
I'm not joking, like 99% of my comments say
that my videos are ASMR.
B: What? Really?
J: Because I don't use my voice when signing,
the noise comes from my lips smacking,
B: But we don't have a microphone with us or something?
Most people asked me to do ASMR videos,
well, I already did them on every of my video.
I've heard that ASMR is really popular nowadays.
B: Because it is very... satisfying, people love the sound of it.
J: We don't make ASMR videos on purpose,
we just can't help it.
This is strange like how can people recognise I'm English
as I never speak so they've never heard of my accent,
and maybe because American and British deaf people
lip-pattern are quite different, I noticed it.
B: Really? I haven't even noticed it.
Maybe you can notice that we're British cos we use BSL (British Sign Language).
J: This one makes me laugh, I've never seen this comment before,
my mum sent it to me.
Someone says...
B: Oh my god.
J: Firstly, deaf people can enjoy music
we can feel it through vibrations...
and Magaluf is only for music? No,
it's for a normal holiday where you drink, sunbathe,
and enjoy clubbing, we're definatley party animals when it comes to drinking.
B: Me too!
Every deaf person have different ways of enjoying music,
it doesn't mean we can't go to Magaluf because we're deaf,
this doesn't make sense, I mean we're still human.
This one, I can't stand when people comment that.
B: Wait did you say speak up? Sign up!
J: I feel like this comment is like discrimination.
Every deaf person have different ways to communicate,
Benny signs and talks at the same time,
if he's with deaf people, he won't use his voice
but he uses his voice with hearing people,
I made my own decision to not speak,
as this is my choice to make.
B: Jasmine always finds different ways to communicate
with other people, it doesn't mean you have to use one thing.
J: Some people that we should...
B: What do you mean, talk normally, we already talk normally?
J: Yes we communicate using our hands which is normal.
You are showing your true colour.
Because my voice is not clear,
so some people say when I talk, I sound like a Nintendo character.
B: Wow...
J: Well, my favourite Nintendo character is Princess Peach.
B: My favourite is... erm... this is a good question,
I think I like Luigi, the green one
or Youshi, his sidekick.
Some people also say that my voice sounds a Sims character.
B: What?
J: Yeah!
Just all the computer games.
B: Sound effects.
J: Sound effects, yeah, most people say my voice sounds like that.
I don't understand this comment.
The words "Deaf and Dumb" is an old English language
why are you still using this in 2020?
Those words mean nothing.
My mum told me a story about when I was a baby,
when my parents first found out that I'm deaf,
my mum went to the doctors,
they labelled deaf like a bad thing back then,
because of disability, deafness wasn't universally
including the LGBT community.
So the doctors were like,
oh you should feel sad that your daughter is deaf,
she is deaf and dumb.
My mum was like...
What, did you just talk about my daughter like that?
They were like, no I mean, I can imagine how difficult is it for you.
The worst thing is, they said if Jasmine was born first,
does that mean having another baby puts you off?
B: What?
J: Yeah because I'm deaf.
It shows that doctors thought I'm "damaged and broke".
B: This is the most stupid thing ever.
They acted like they can't even fix me.
B: Oh my god.
Life has changed now,
lots of people are keen to learn sign language
compared to the past,
to be honest, social media has good and bad sides,
the positive side is, it increases deaf awareness
such as videos on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram,
but the bad side is an addiction,
mental health has increased,
but deaf awareness has increased too, so it's hard.
B: That's a good thing that deaf awareness is improving
for the future.
J: I will never ever have my voice back to normal,
I'm deaf 100% end of, I was born deaf and always will be deaf.
B: Every deaf person has their own opinion,
if they want to use their voice or not as it's their choice,
this is not your choice to make.
J: If I go to the doctor, how will it help to have my voice back?
B: That's right!
J: We can't have our hearing back.
B: It will never work.
J: Can I ask you a question, I'm sure you know this,
if there are two tablets,
the one that turns you into hearing magically,
or take the one that stays deaf, which would you pick?
B: I think I will stay deaf, to be honest.
J: Same, I will throw the tablet away,
because I'm happy with who I am, this is me,
I don't want to change myself.
B: Being deaf is the best feeling, because
some hearing people think it's a shame that we're deaf
as we can't hear, but it's the best feeling taking my cochlear off
peaceful without any disturbing, especially when you sleep.
It's so peaceful sleeping being deaf.
J: Being deaf have lots of positives on the other side.
We're answering few more comments.
This comment says,
J: Ok... so, we still talk in a language
it doesn't matter if we don't use our voice,
it's interesting to see all the different languages.
Ok, if someone is speaking in a different language,
they still have a channel?
This is the same thing with deaf people.
We still can enjoy making videos
even though we can't hear.
B: We may can't hear but we still enjoy filming,
as this is our passion.
You know where the door is.
I received lots of comments like this,
Every single one of my video has subtitles on them,
I created subtitles every time, you can just click [CC],
I always add them on my description box to turn them on.
B: It is very long to edit the subtitles,
because if our videos are long,
we need to type down every sentence.
J: This is the last one, I hate it when people say it to me,
"Poor you, I'm so sorry you're deaf"
B: Oh poor you, I'm sorry you're hearing.
J: That how we feel when people say that to us.
We are more than happy to be deaf,
see I'm smiling.
That it for all the hate comments about deaf,
if you're a YouTuber or yourself experienced hate comments,
I advise you to ignore them, it's not worth commenting back
because they want to get your attention,
if you did comment back, they might want to start the competition,
if you ignore them,
that means they'll be like oh it's not working then.
This shows that the comments don't bother you,
I advise this.
It will be hard at the beginning,
when I first started my YouTube Channel,
I couldn't cope with the hate comments, after this,
this makes you stronger, I started to realise...
why should I get upset over it?
I only read positive comments, because
it makes me keep going on, to think positive,
I don't really pay any attention on hate comments.
I only like to read positive comments.
B: All I do is, reading horrible comments,
I was like laughing and ignoring them.
What is the point, it's because they don't have life,
and I have my own life, I can do whatever I want.
J: So that's it for this video.
Let me know if you want to see part 2,
we can react to positive comments about deaf.
B: I'm happy to react to positive comments.
J: Yes!
We made a video for Benny's channel.
B: So we made a video for my channel, it's
Guess that donut challenge!
J: I still feel sick from this video.
B: So make sure you go check this video out!
J: I will add his links below.
So I really hope you enjoyed this video, if you did,
don't forget to smash this video a thumbs up!
Comment below what do you want to see us film next.
B: Comment below, positive only, not negative!
J: Thank you for watching, byeee!
