hey kids now that James Charles has come out with his side of the story do you
have any words of wisdom for him 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 the YouTube
community all of this drama going on and take this mess and turn it into a
message because what good is watching all of this insanity go on if we're not
taking lessons from it to improve our own lives so if you're into that stuff
make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so I was on Twitter
yesterday and I mentioned this in my last video and I talked about how it's
crazy watching these subscriber numbers go back and forth right Totti westbrook
releases her video James Hall starts losing millions of subscribers she
starts gaining millions of subscribers right James Charles comes out with his
video now of a sudden tati Westbrook is losing subscribers Jeffree star is
losing subscribers and James Charles is gaining subscribers and it's nuts so my
girl Olly she was like yeah like it's it shows how loyal people are and I'm like
shout out to you ollie that is a great great great topic especially because
Olly Olly is a rather died rewired soldier and I appreciate all the as well
as many of you out there who stuck with me through my whole controversy and
everything like that like reading your comments and all of these were like yeah
I stuck around and like I didn't you know agree with what they were doing to
you and just you waited until you heard my full side of the story I appreciate
all of you so so so much but yeah so in this video we're gonna be talking about
a lot of things we're gonna be talking about groupthink we're going to be
talking about black-and-white thinking we're gonna be talking about loyalty
okay like looking at these subscriber counts it's absolutely mind-blowing like
be an end of independent thinker like for the love of God be an independent
thinker like when I see these numbers just going back and forth
like I just imagine these like mindless zombies just like oh oh well Tati Westbrook said
James did this and then Jeffree Star tweeted so I'm going over here oh well
James Charles said this so now I'm gonna come back over here like be an
independent thinker okay like just because somebody comes out with an
exposed video or what I'm like I don't know if you guys have never just had
friends like this or whatever like people are fickle people are emotional
people get hurt in insane ways right like so they I was talking about with
someone yesterday is my toffee Westbrook her emotions got the best of her like I
don't think toffee Westbrook is this horrible awful terrible person in fact I
don't think anybody involved is like a horrible person I think they are messing
up on a massive scale but Tongzhi Westbrook is a great example
about how your perception is not always reality okay and that can perpetuate a
false narrative in your own head and it's dangerous for us youtubers or
anybody with a platform to to publicly say these things when our perception is
not reality like something that James Charles proved with facts was a couple
things he has promoted Totti westbrook's products in the past and he did try to
reach out to her before he made his sugar bear hair post alright but one of
the issues that we struggle with especially when it comes to black and my
thinking is our brain has a problem separating the truth from the false so
talking Westbrook not knowing or not being in her mind or anything like that
what it seems like is that she's not so caught up in her emotions that she was
incapable of separating the truth from the false her brain was not allowing her
to remember that James Charles has promoted her products in the past and if
she was able to remember that then she wouldn't have gone on that initial
Instagram live story where she was crying and sobbing about this okay but
this video is mainly about you you the viewers okay look us
as a watch human behavior I'm just blown away because like we're allowing other
people to tell us how to think and feel about other people okay and I couldn't
help but think of this story so those of you who don't know I'm half black so my
son he is a quarter black and he was about five or six years old and it's not
race isn't something that we talked about much or you know anything like
that like I don't think at that point like you really like understood that I'm
half black he's a quarter black because my dad is full black but anyways one of
my son's best friends was black and I can't remember I can't remember the
exact context but it might be like around Martin Luther King Day and they
were doing some school project or something like that and he was asking me
about racism okay and I I was talking to him I said okay so listen Dylan one of
his best friends was black and let's just call him Johnny I was like okay
you're your best friends with Johnny right he's like yeah I'm like you think
Johnny's cool he's like yeah he's like do you think Johnny's nice he's like
yeah I'm like do you think Johnny's family is nice and he's like yeah well
imagine a bunch of people who said Johnny and his family were awful human
beings just because the color of their skin would you believe what they said
he's like no I know Johnny and I'm like exactly alright
the point being like don't let other people tell you how to think or feel
about a situation right so like here's the thing and I think it was
unintentional on takis part but she was upset at Gabriel Zamora for telling her
how to feel about the betrayal of James child's right but her words were telling
other people how to feel about James Charles you see what I mean now again I
do not think that was intentional ontake westbrook's product but as influencers
when we do commentary when we you know expose somebody we are pretty much
telling you how to think or feel about a person so the next thing I want to talk
about is the commentary community the drama channels and everything out there
right so we're all gonna screw up well then screw up like I talked to a few
fellow youtubers who do commentary and stuff like that yesterday and some
people are you know it sucks because the story is taking so many twists and turns
right and basically what I'll say is this like I made one video when it first
came out when all this started bubbling up I think it might have been before
talked to Wes Rhodes video but I said something that James Charles didn't
address was the accusations of predatory behavior so yeah I was after his apology
video that's what I was yeah like I mentioned it but I tried to be fair in
this situation because I when I was watching a lot of commentary channels
and drama channels like when this first started going off like a lot of people
were neglecting the fact that both the situations that confirm situations with
gauge and that waiter Sam were consensual a lot of people were
neglecting that and but Toxie Westbrook created a narrative that James Charles
for us to trick people into being gay which we just found out what James
Charles video is not true all right now if it is true and there's just more
information that we don't know that's still up in the air but what I'm getting
at is I think we as youtubers who do commentary or the drama channels or
whatever it is above all else we have more of a responsibility to be
independent thinkers because I get it I get it like I've screwed up we've all
screwed up but what I'll do is sometimes I'll watch other channels to get filled
in on stories and things like that and find out maybe parts that are missing
before I form my own opinion and make a video about it and everything like that
but when I'm watching other people cover the story I have to be cognizant of the
fact that they might have been doing the same thing I am and they might have
formed an opinion or bias based on what they've been watching based on what
they've been researching you see what I mean so this can this can cause an issue
with us youtubers covering these stories is where we perpetuate a narrative and a
lot of people got caught up in that with with seeing what was happening and the
hate mob and everything and perpetuating a narrative but I do I do admire some of
the youtubers out there who have like you know collected themselves on Twitter
and acknowledge this or take him down videos or whatever it is because at the
end of days that's the most we can do by Philip DeFranco does a great job of that
where he goes back and corrects himself a corrected story that he might have
gone wrong and this is a dude who has like an entire team working with them
you know what I mean so us most of us were independent and stuff but I just
want to remind everybody out there like it's important for us to sit back and
form our own opinions on the situation and try to look at these situations as
objectively as possible now the last thing I'm going to talk about a touch
long is everybody's waiting for this jeffree star exposed video everybody is
waiting for this jeffree star exposed video here are my thoughts on that and
less jeffree star comes out with video proof or some kind of receipts of James
Charles confessing to criminal activities like something he could be
charged for then I think Jeffrey's ours should just save it because here's the
thing was Jeffrey stall gonna do is he gonna expose James Charles for
being a 19 year old egotistical dick we already know that alright but the fact
of the matter is Jeffrey star is a dick too and so if he's coming out to expose
James and it's nothing illegal or criminal we we already got the memo a
lot of people in the beauty community are just a-holes alright so like this
whole tit-for-tat and going back and forth unless there is something where
charges going are going to be brought up against James Charles it's just
ridiculous so I will be covering the updates but I want all of you out there
to be independent thinkers because I can already picture it Jeff this star is
gonna come out with an exposed video on James Falls and James hauls numbers are
gonna start again and then Jeffrey star these
numbers are gonna start going up again it's just absolutely madness just please
be an independent thinker and help make this world a better place all right
