so some of you guys saw the video I made earlier asking your advice should I do
the interview with a drama channel by the name of kodeerants well I just
messaged her and I told her that I changed my mind
and yeah I just wanted to kind of analyze what I've seen from Cody rants
and I hope you guys can learn something from it what's up everybody this is
Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the
solution if you're new to my channel what I try to do is take different
topics from the YouTube community and try to see what lessons we can learn
from them so if you're into that stuff makes you subscribe and ring that
notification bell and make sure you follow me over on Twitter and Instagram
the rewired soul alright so yeah I just recorded two straight videos and I
wanted to discuss this I have more videos planned I want to do commentary
and just analyze some people and some subjects if you missed the last video I
did go check it out I'll try to link it up in the info card anyways Cody Rance
reached out to me and trying to convince me to do an interview with her and I was
going to I don't mind like I wanted to talk and share some of my experience
about how interviews for me just they blow up in my face they are just always
a bad idea and I was gonna do this knowing it would be awful anyways but
yeah like I wanted to take this time to explain why I'm not going to do the
interview with Cody ramps as well as just who she is from my point of view
and when I make these videos you can take them however you want but I just
want to help you guys get into my thought process and maybe it'll help you
like who who I try to keep in my life who I don't keep in my life who I set
boundaries with and maybe maybe it'll help you but as many of you know who've
been following my channel I analyze people you know and sometimes I let my
guard down and everything like that but I really watch people and I pay
attention to all of their actions you know what I mean and the drama community
I'm just like the commentary community and we all judge each other right but
they're very judgemental of behaviors and everything like that and that's
totally cool but one of the issues is self-awareness is something that comes
up comes up a lot where our people are you're not self aware and you're not
self aware and you're not self aware but I just want to bring up what I've
noticed kind of my history with Kody rants just share my opinions take with
it what you will and don't send her any hate alright if
any of you know me I'm against hate mobs are mine like anybody there's something
we're gonna be talking about anybody who's been a victim of this should be
against it alright so if you're in my community and you go try to hate on her
like I don't want you in my community alright so I first learned about Kody
rants from the situation with James Charles with the palette and she had
that reaction to it alright so I'm in about I'm about to talk about some
things which I've never talked about publicly out of respect and I'm gonna
talk about him now and if you watch my last video I talked about how we justify
and rationalize and everything like that here's my rationale for this I'm going
to talk about some sensitive subjects just to kind of give you a history of
what I've seen but this is all public okay there's nothing this is nothing
that people can't find or look up okay but Cody Rance not only was she one of
the people who was part of the hate mob against James Charles and James Charles
has openly admitted that he was suicidal in there but Cody is also one of the
other people who has joined the hate mob against me and here's something that I
had to think about before deciding to make some videos like this is and I'm a
big boy so don't don't worry nobody's taken into consideration
sobriety nobody's taken into consideration the fact that I've openly
discussed you know my suicidal past people haven't taken into consideration
my family I have a kid to feed and all that so I don't I don't feel like it's
unfair or out of line to talk about this situation so anyways those of you who
don't know when Cody Rance got to the James tall's pilot she had a reaction on
her eyes and she made this very boisterous video on Twitter and it went
kind of viral and James false odd and everything like that James Charles
replied James Falls ended up doing a video with Jeffrey saut where they kind
of threw some shade at Cody ramps and James Charles and just a lot of beauty
gurus a lot of the drama channels have a ruthless audience and they went after
Cody and I felt so bad for her this was God like six seven eight nine months
before I got canceled like when things were actually going good for me and I
saw what Cody was going through she was crying her eyes out and she was begging
people to stop and she was in a bathroom and she was having a panic attack she
was talking about how she was self harming again and I'm like damn like
this is awful like I'm like you know she made that video but like she does not
deserve this right so when everything happened to me about six months ago
earlier this soon when the drama channel's came out for me Cody Rance has
been one of those people who has come after me and like that's cool like I I
get it and it's a it's a weird thing and I'm gonna talk about this in some other
videos like I just it's a tricky situation where if you sign up to be a
drama channel or a commentary channel like we have to be prepared right like
throughout my whole time of the hate mob coming after me like I'm very aware like
Chris you decided to be a youtuber right but anyways I would have thought that
Cody Rance had some more empathy because she went through that but she was one of
the people joining in the hate mob and making videos and everything like that
against me so I forgot when it was it was a month or two ago and Cody said
something you know she said something about me on Twitter whatever and I was
like you know what I'm finally gonna reach out to her and I said Cody here's
the thing I was like I love your content I love how goofy you get and you'd like
talk crap like I dig that right I said here's here's where I'm confused and I
talked to her about this privately I said what happened to you
when James Charles's fans came after you I was like that was unfair I was like
that wasn't cool that wasn't you know and I felt awful and I was like in Cody
I've I haven't made videos talking about you because I saw what you went through
all right and I I told her that and she said you
know like okay and we started talking and just having this kind of you know
conversation and uh and yeah and she told me that she messed up when she did
that video on James Charles and she said that a lot of the drama channels came to
her and told her where she messed up and she said she learned and she grew from
that so what I'm looking at that situation I'm like okay you've learned
and you've grown from that what does that mean right but to each their own so
Cody and I we talked about and everything like that we kind of came to
an agreement she disagreed with me talking about mental health and
addiction not being a licensed professional she has a degree in
psychology I believe and a lot of a lot of people think that they you know I
hate to say this but a lot of people have psychology degrees and you know
they're very very proud of it but you know I'm sorry to say this but I would
not I would not want Cody Rance treating me okay but yeah we just disagreed on
that but we we stayed cool ah you know she's made a bunch of videos
about me and everything like that but we were kind of cool what what set her off
again was when Earth Mother came out and set some stuff and like Earth Mother was
being real and she was talking about the bias and the beauty community okay like
that's real but something you notice about the beauty community not the
beauty community well the beauty community and the drama community so
fairly tight knit clique right and there's this kind of loyalty to a
fault okay so in some previous videos I've talked about in-groups and
out-groups so if you're on the out-group like
you're you're done they will all team up and go against you so me I just look at
people as people I don't I don't like hierarchies you know I didn't like the
stuff in high school where cool kids not cool kids something like that like
people are just people right but you see the drama channel stick up for each
other and everything like that and this this creates even more bias and you know
although Cody talked to me about people pointing out her flaws like she she's
not aware enough to just admit and say yeah you know we all pretty bias you
know what I mean so anyway she was upset with me for saying Earth Mother was
right so that's when she started tweeting about me again and just saying
all these sassy things and I'm just like whatever that's cool so anyways Cody's
been tweeting and tweeting and tweeting and today she reached out about the
interview and everything I said in my video earlier that was pretty much
everything I said in the DM I sent to her too and here's the other thing I
don't know if Cody's gonna respond Cody's gonna read the DMS I don't do
that like I don't have a reason to do that unless it really came down to it
but I don't see it being it but that's something that you know the drama
channels have no shame about like my whole situation started from them to
leaking DM so I let Cody know like hey anytime I messaged you I'm very aware
that you might leave this you know what I mean but anyways the reason why I
messaged her back and said you know I don't want to do this
because like I just don't I don't know what her deal is and here's the thing so
she was kind of cool kind of chill and the DMS but she's two different people
and some of you know people like this they act one way over here then they act
a different way over here like do you have like your friend who asks one way
and then when they're with their significant other they ask act a
different way or even a friend who asked one way with a group of people in the
act a different way with another group of people
Cody Rance is a very different person in DMS all right she still has someone kind
of some of that sass and everything like that but she's very very different when
you talk to her in DMS but I don't know what it is and I'm not trying to
diagnose or anything but I see publicly there's this attention seeking behavior
so today you know she made some tweets about interview questions for me and
that was that was alright but then she went and she did a live stream reading
my reading my book and critiquing it and I caught it I caught it for a few
minutes and she was talking about how she's learned and she's grown and
everything like that I'm like oh lordy Lordy I'm like yeah I got a set up a
Ballantrae I can't I'm like I don't know what's going on with her but I can't
have that in my life because here's the thing I've been watching Cody rants
since the James Charles thing and I haven't seen much difference if you go
through Cody's Twitter you'll see constant poking and prodding at James
Charles talking all this crap and what I try to understand about the drama
community is this the way they justify like why is this okay and why is this
now but this is something that we recognize a lot like she she feels she
feels that James Charles is a bad person he deserves this now what I don't
understand is why she feels the video she made wasn't okay but everything else
she's done attacking James Charles since then is okay and the only thing that I
can think of is she had such a negative response from the James Charles thing so
as somebody on the out I'm looking in as somebody who's judging
who to keep in and out of my life it seems like she she only has a problem
if there are consequences to it and that's something that I try to steer
clear of I try to keep people around and I try to be this person where no matter
where you see me I'm going to be the same person alright and the last six
months have been difficult and I've been like refine ding myself and I know that
sounds pretty lame but but yeah I wanted to share just kind of how my thought
process works and you might know people like this as well feel free to take away
with this what you will but yeah I noticed a lot of things that I don't
know not that many people talk about so anyways again like I said don't send
Cody rants any hate or anything like that if you want to form your own
opinion that's cool I'm sure you have an opinion about me I have an opinion about
you we all have opinions about each other but that's me sharing my
experience I laugh anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this
