after the internet blew up yesterday freaking out on ImJayStation he just
released an apology video for the tasteless Etika ouija board 3AMchallenge title thumbnail
clickbait that he did but there's a lot that we need to discuss when it comes to
this situation 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 try to do is take different topics going on in the YouTube community
and trying to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental
and emotional well-being and something that I'm extremely extremely passionate
about is mental health so if you're into any of that stuff make sure you
subscribe and ring that notification bell alright and please just do me this
one favor like one favor okay like please watch
this video all the way through I'm going to be talking about several different
subjects that impact all of us this isn't just like a hate video against
ImJayStation about what he did with the whole Etika thing but like like we
all need to discuss a few things alright so the first thing I want to talk about
when it comes to ImJayStation and why his apology video is is it's missing the
mark and he he doesn't get it I don't think he's gonna get it for a while but
the major thing is empathy all right like ImJayStation in his mind and his
in his brain like he he feels like he's learned and he's he's gonna grow and
everything I'm gonna talk about that again later at this video but anyways
like let's look it up empathy real quick okay like there's something that is an
issue where people don't start understanding the errors in their ways
and things like that until they go through something and what ImJayStations
talking about us like now he's gonna start changing things on his
channel and not do tasteless videos like what he did with like Mac Miller and
things like that because he just had his own experience and it's guy
thinking like YouTube needs to become a better place the only reason why I'm
bringing up what just happened to me the other week is because it all relates to
why this Etica story has affected me so much it's very relevant to what is going
on this is why Atticus impacted me so much this is why I connect with what
Etika was talking about and that's why I can relate to him like we all need to
start working on empathy okay you shouldn't have to go through something
in order to be empathetic like you shouldn't have to go to war to empathize
with War veterans all right you shouldn't have to be assaulted to
empathize with victims you see what I mean like we all need to start working
on this like we are all people and anybody's pain is all of our pain we
need to be there for one another and that is the major issue and I just saw
keemstar actually tweeted some things too and like I mentioned in my video
yesterday I think both of them are gonna wake up a little bit like this did
impact them hard but I want you to look at your own life like I'm sure the
passing of Etica has impacted you in a certain way if you're watching this
video and ask yourself like what are you gonna change what are you gonna work on
right if you just stumbled across this video for some reason like ask yourself
how can you be more empathetic and understanding of other people's
situations so one of the things about depression I read it I read a great book
I think it was called the brain difference but anyways it talks about
like the strengths that people have a certain mental illnesses like anxiety
and bipolar and depression and things like that
many ways people with depression are actually more empathetic right people
who have been struggling with depression for years since they were kids they're
more empathetic because they know what that pain feels like so when they see
other people in pain they understand what they're going through so again like
it shouldn't take someone like Jay station or keemstar
to go through some experience like this in order to be empathetic now real quick
I want to touch on the fact that I'm Jay Station has donated I think like almost
$5,000 to as fun so far alright and you know like
I think you and I can both agree ImJayStation is a d-bag okay but it just it
just blows my mind like I was looking at the comments I was like how's this video
received obviously he's getting massive dislikes again but people like some of
the top comments on there are like quoting him saying like I don't want to
capitalize on you know attica's death and things like that and then they say
like oh but he monetized this video like he donated twenty five hundred right and
then he donated two thousand from his video yesterday and he said he's gonna
donate the money from this new video to atticus fund as well so like just like
chill out just a second and just you know kind of recognize it like if you
like something I always felt a live by like don't become the thing that you
hate right like that is so important like if you are going to talk about how
I'm J station you know it's ignorant and dumb and things like that like don't do
the same thing like recognize that he has donated a bunch of money now here's
the issue with that though aside from everything else like money isn't the
answer to everything like you can't just say well I throw money at this thing so
I care more than you like like money is not a good barometer for how much we
care about things right like it would be unfair to say that Bill Gates is the
only person who cares about social issues because he's donated like
billions of dollars you know and I think that's something that I'm J station
needs to learn coming out on the other side of this thing is that money is not
equal to how much you care right so the next thing I want to talk about is like
why he did it like why he did that whole video like he talks about in this new
apology video like he wanted as many clicks as possible and I get that that's
why I titled it the same as the xxx video and the same as the Mac Miller
video cuz I wanted everyone who hated it before to come and see this new one
where I apologized about it so I'm gonna teach you about the brain real quick
okay a full disclaimer I'm not a neuroscientist and
yeah it's so silly it's so silly to me that I even have to disclaim that I'm
not a neuroscientist like if any of you turned on this video and looked at me
and thought I might be a neuro socket it's like I don't know what to tell you
anyways we have two major parts of the brain
all right the emotional brain and the logical brain the emotional brain is the
one that has the most power the most control unless we're actively working on
our emotional well-being okay so you have your prefrontal cortex and you have
the limbic system well anyways when you are in that emotional state logic flies
right out the window okay and you could probably relate to this think about how
many times you did illogical things while emotional alright so when I saw
Jay Station make that video and the things that he was saying like he's
clearly emotional about it and he wasn't thinking these things through like all
of us have made mistakes when it comes to being overly emotional so here's
here's the thing like it bums me out how many how many hateful comments he's
getting right like I get it like a lot of them are deserved but like I can't
like we can all agree that I'm J station as a d-bag but people are telling him to
kill himself and they hope he dies and like when he dies I'm gonna do a Ouija
board challenge and everything and you guys like it seems like a lot of people
in the community I'm missing missing it - right like we just lost somebody to
suicide like I wanna I want to bring it back to like remember when Mac Miller
passed away when Mac Miller passed away people were going off on Ariana Grande
and Pete Davidson right people were blaming them for Mac Miller's death and
after a series of events Pete Davidson was suicidal right like I
don't know if you guys remember this it happened I believe in December or
January okay something like that like Pete Davidson ended up having to go get
treatment and he's struggled with suicidal ideation for many years right
and like I just want you to think about that like after we lost Mac Miller we
almost lost somebody else so like I don't want to come off all like Jake
Paul and everything like that but I I want people to learn from
situations in just no light this is real like this is real stuff like people get
impacted like hate on I'm J Station like all you want but like chill out be
careful you know like we need to just be mindful of how we're treating each other
and everything like that but the last thing I want to talk about in this video
is I I would hope that on the other side of this thing you know like I'm J
station like learns more about mental health like you can't just throw money
at organizations and think that that's gonna solve it like in my opinion as
somebody who has struggled with depression addiction you know suicidal
ideation all these other things like the part that got to me the most was just
him in that emotional state talking about you're not depressed
unless you're asked to press this Etica and that is a bad message to be put out
there alright so hopefully he learns more about mental health throughout this
entire process and as far as like forgiving him like some people may never
forgive him but we all need to realize like it's gonna take time like we got to
see if the dude changes his ways he swears that he's not gonna make any more
tasteless videos right after somebody passes away but we're not gonna know
that we're not gonna know that like we're not gonna know probably for like
six months just following him and seeing how it's doing because people don't
change overnight so I just really hope that someone like Jay is really
reflecting in this situation taking in the feedback but if he's going through
this situation and not understanding why people are so upset and have been so
upset at him for a long time then I don't imagine him changing too much but
anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a
thumbs up if you do make sure you subscribe and win that notification bell
and a huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon
