00:05:23.760 tiktok when you first got started like when did you start feeling like i mean this might be like

00:05:28.160 turning into something um i remember the day it was actually november of 2020 i uh no excuse me uh

00:05:36.480 2019 um i did a video i went as a videographer for one of my friends and we went to myrtle beach

00:05:43.280 safari yeah and at the time i had like 30k on tiktok and the guy was like after we got done filming

00:05:49.440 everything he was like hey do you want to make a video and i was like well i'm not a creator i'm just

00:05:53.920 here with them he was like he was like it doesn't matter do you make one i was like he was like what

00:05:58.560 can you do and i was like i can dance yeah and he was like okay let's dance this man brought a live

00:06:06.160 cheetah into the house and casually sat it on the kitchen counter so at that point i was like i think

00:06:12.720 i did the renegade and then uh i did the woe and the cheetah got startled and it like sat up and

00:06:20.960 everybody thought the cheetah was gonna attack me so it got like 30 million views and i went from

00:06:26.160 30k to 500k overnight and i was like holy shit i feel like people like me yeah so i really felt uh

00:06:34.160 inclined to just start popping more puss on the uh timeline and uh from november i went to uh 900k in

00:06:43.360 december and then i'm like okay this is this is going to get something yeah so then uh i hit my first

00:10:13.120 gosh that's so crazy i love that you remember every date and stuff too i'm like have to that's

00:10:19.120 like it's and it was crazy it's crazy how you like never really i think that this happens a lot with

00:10:25.920 creators too it's like we never planned on this happening yeah and then like when it does it feels

00:10:31.760 like it feels so not real until you like actually do something so like when you actually got to meet

00:10:37.760 them and like collab and stuff that was probably where you're like damn i think this is like kind of a

00:10:41.360 big deal 100 like this is like taking off for me and now you're like and also markel's being very

00:10:46.880 modest but he is an incredible dancer thank you he's like the dancer girl the dancer every i'm not

00:10:53.680 kidding every event i've ever seen markel at he's in the center of the dance floor every single time

00:10:58.000 when we're at vidcon i saw you in the snapchat lounge nobody's dancing but they're playing like some

00:11:05.760 really they're playing like some cute music and markel comes in and he's like can you play like

00:11:10.080 meg the stallion or something and then he plays it and then he's just dancing by himself go there

00:11:14.400 we're playing elevator music and it wasn't even elevator i need to elevate the like you need to

00:11:18.800 play music to elevate yeah elevate the vibes it was just giving and you did you started a whole you

00:11:25.360 started a whole frenzy right everyone started dancing and that's what i feel like i don't even

00:11:29.920 like go into it thinking like oh i'm gonna get this party lit i just hear music and i just i know

00:11:34.960 like that's what i'm saying that's like the the beautiful part about it it's not it's not anything

00:11:40.080 of like oh i want everyone to look at me it's literally just you love to dance right but i think

00:11:44.240 that's why people love you because they can see it they can feel that authenticity which is actually

00:11:49.760 what our topic is for today so with markel we're going to be talking about living as your most authentic

00:11:55.440 self online because also just a fun fact markel's one of the nicest people i've ever met and i know

00:12:01.600 you've been a creator for a long time so you know not all creators are nice i think honestly it would

00:12:05.920 shock you which ones are really nice like people who consume lots of social media right the people

00:12:11.440 that you would you wouldn't expect to be super super nice are i'm one of them like sometimes people

00:12:16.640 think i'm i'm like really mean in person but i'm like i'm just mean to terrible men hello that's the

00:12:21.680 only thing that's the only person i mean to and i like seek them out i actively look for them

00:12:26.000 period them on purpose she'd be low care and i think like uh someone like markel who has such

00:12:33.680 a large presence and is friends with lots of famous people um is so incredibly sweet and i love that

00:12:39.200 you're just like what you look like online is who you are in real life so that's like i think that's

00:12:44.000 why he had you've created such a like strong community of fans because they can tell i feel like

00:12:50.240 fans can really see if you're like a good person or not like whether or not they can tell in the

00:12:54.080 beginning but eventually it will come through whether or not you're a good person so markel is

00:12:59.440 wonderful and amazing and has built a platform off being authentic so that's what we're going to be

00:13:04.320 talking about today and for those of you who don't know or are new to the comment section what we do

00:13:08.240 here is we bring videos that i was tagged in that are applicable to our topic and then we laugh kiki

00:13:13.040 do all the different things about them period so for this first video i'm just going to describe it

00:13:18.960 to y'all this one is this video shows a pride day at a public school where all the teachers are

00:13:25.360 dressed in rainbow and there are rainbow decorations around the halls and the students are dressed in

00:13:29.280 colorful outfits which is sweet right we love we love to celebrate pride um the comments are not

00:13:36.160 but that's to be expected i feel like people are awful on the internet it emboldens people to be

00:13:40.720 awful i think because they get to be anonymous right so this first comment says

00:13:45.840 if that was me i would smack every teacher and student in the building 1.00

00:13:52.320 okay right okay and i'm hoping every teacher in person in the building smack your ass back 1.00

00:14:00.400 i feel like people get really bold online they do 100 yeah do you get a lot of hate 0.99

00:14:05.520 um or do you get hate at all um it depends on what i'm doing yeah but it's like never on my account if

00:14:12.320 i do something with somebody else like uh i went to the cma awards and i wore like this

00:14:18.000 like this not pencil skirt but it was like more of a skirt type thing with a cape oh love and omg 0.95

00:14:22.960 like everybody there it's so crazy because the people that they look up to and quote unquote tune

00:14:29.440 in to watch were the first ones to comment my outfit like all the countrymen that's what threw me

00:14:34.800 off they were literally like dude you look yeah like zach bryan luke homes everybody was like dude your

00:14:39.440 outfit is amazing like you're standing out and everybody in the comment section like the cma's 0.99

00:14:45.120 have posted uh a video of me walking the carpet and then all of these country low hicks like no

00:14:51.840 matter men girls all of them like who is this uh he she on the carpet like he has no purpose and then 1.00

00:14:58.880 been there like i had to turn off the tv for my kids and we usually watch this every year and that's

00:15:04.960 the first time like usually i laugh at it but that was the first time i literally somewhat let it get

00:15:10.560 to me because i'm like i'm not human right that part and i'm like not only did i do it and it's like

00:15:17.680 that's what part i had to like go back and sit on because i'm not only doing it for myself i'm doing it

00:15:22.800 to let others know they can be comfortable in their own skin because everybody else was like thank you for

00:15:28.480 doing this and like when i posted it they were like this was like the amazing outfit like it inspired

00:15:34.400 me to want to dress how i want to dress and stuff like that and at the cmt awards which is a huge

00:15:38.720 statement in itself is you being there and dressing how you want and feeling confident yeah and

00:15:44.480 representing an underrepresented group right at the cmt awards which is like it's so ironic too because 1.00

00:15:50.640 you're from the south yes so so the fact that they're talking to you as if you're like you don't

00:15:56.960 know anything about right and i'm like about the south or anything like that i probably know more

00:16:01.520 country music than they do that's what i'm saying they just think they are obligated or inclined to

00:16:06.320 tune in just because they're you know straight exactly i'm like get that out of here i remember my

00:16:13.440 first one of my first like really big carpets i ever did was billboard music awards i did it

00:16:19.440 did it in vegas and it was like i think last summer and i remember when i walked i wore something 0.83

00:16:24.880 that was a lot different um but i really loved it and i looked pretty so i didn't give a fuck 0.81

00:16:29.760 right um i did not know like because it was my first like huge carpet i'd never i think before

00:16:35.200 that i did like maybe two and they were like tiny little carpets but i didn't know how much they film

00:16:41.440 you and how much they take pictures and they take you they shoot you from all sides all angles and like

00:16:47.360 i've gotten a lot better dressing over like i didn't match my nails or anything like that i just was

00:16:52.000 like i like the pretty dress i had my hair and makeup done period right it's how i saw it and um 0.56

00:16:57.040 a lot of people really liked it but a lot of people fucking hated it um which is like that's 0.78

00:17:01.360 fine fashion is subjective whatever you want to wear that's fine but to see like so many people 0.78

00:17:07.680 give you an unsolicited opinion and they're like i would never wear that if i was like get an invite 0.98

00:17:12.800 first period that's my main thing that's like get invited your ass got so many opinions get invited 0.92

00:17:21.520 first and i was like you would have worn that and what were you doing hello i would have never worn 1.00

00:17:25.600 that babe you were you were a tank top going to the grocery store with your bald-headed ass with that 1.00

00:17:30.800 synthetic ass wig you need to get you a better life i'm like i love to read it basically i would 0.99

00:17:37.280 have worn that there babe you wouldn't have gone let's start there because you would be at home 0.99

00:17:42.800 right critiquing mine out my hello there you go thank you and it's funny too because i was 0.99

00:17:47.760 in some of the posts that i had posted well first of all i made several best dress lists so eat my ass 0.98

00:17:53.520 bitch come on like no you don't like it that's crazy because other people did like like actual 1.00

00:17:58.960 publications actually liked my outfit there's that and then also most of the pictures that i posted i was 0.99

00:18:04.880 like talking about walking as a someone woman because i i never got to see someone women walk 0.93

00:18:09.440 carpets like that right when i was growing up so it was mostly just like i was just excited and proud

00:18:14.240 like i got to walk as like a someone person and be representative in some capacity and then people 0.95

00:18:19.920 are saying shit like that i'm like bitch i'm not even talking about the outfit right but like okay it's 0.99

00:18:25.600 the internet obviously you're gonna get unsolicited opinions but it's just those comments of like i would 0.99

00:18:30.640 never wear that yeah okay well when you get invited to a really huge award show

00:18:35.360 then you can let me know yeah and i'll see what you would wear yeah then i'll critique what you

00:18:39.920 wore let's see your decorative garbage bag i'm like that and no that happened to me on my first carpet

00:18:47.600 i forget i think it was 2021 i went to the amas and girl first off i'm not i can dance my ass off i'm 0.80

00:18:54.960 like video form i'm good but as soon as it comes to a photo it's hard yeah it's a lot harder than people

00:19:01.280 think it was some comments why you look like a box you look like little bill i was like ah 0.99

00:19:06.320 shit you know when someone be right i'm like okay you ate me there bitch you ate me there you got me 1.00

00:19:12.400 a little right i'm like you gotta be there i'm gonna give you that one but i'm like like you said 0.99

00:19:16.240 they shoot you from all angles it's crazy but i've gotten so accustomed i've literally studied and

00:19:21.760 watched like these people who walked the carpet it was so funny uh loray was on the carpet they were

00:19:26.880 like loray turn over your right shoulder loray was like no my left shoulder is better so he like

00:19:32.240 he accommodates for himself but it's so uh i love intense when it's like when they're all yelling at

00:19:38.960 you so much happening period but you got to do what's best for you on at the end of the day

00:19:43.200 especially as a it's like that video of ariana grande when like she won't turn to her right

00:19:47.920 yeah it's her right side that she doesn't like but she likes her left uh-huh so they're like turn 0.99

00:19:51.360 to your left turn to your left and she's like no like super like real right real that's what it 0.99

00:19:57.920 takes now that i've done so many carpets i'm like it's so funny too because after it feels like high

00:20:02.960 school like after you get your gettys taken yeah everyone's sitting and waiting for whatever's going

00:20:07.600 on and you're looking for your getty yeah and you're like are people eating me up right are they

00:20:11.440 eating me up did i eat or did they eat me up girl it's like i'm like did i eat or am i getting eaten

00:20:17.840 exactly it's so hard to like uh the first few i walked like there was one of the i think it was 0.75

00:20:24.800 like the second carpet i ever did was like a movie premiere stupid movie and like um i was holding a

00:20:31.280 bag and i had a jacket on because i didn't know so like she um the girl that walked me down the 1.00

00:20:37.200 carpet was not my publicist but she didn't take it from me so i just like stood there with it

00:20:41.920 and the pictures came out cute but so many people were like why are you holding a bag why are you 0.59

00:20:46.000 holding a okay red carpet police hello i don't know girl because i don't know what the fuck i'm 0.89

00:20:50.880 doing did you want me to drop the bag and drop into immediate split i literally feel like that's 0.92

00:20:57.040 what they expect us to get out there new sometimes i do be want to bust a cartwheel out or a leg kick 0.98

00:21:01.440 yeah something right just give them a little extra flair right but i'm like bitch don't be trying 1.00

00:21:06.640 to critique my bag or my jacket and yeah i was like i you know why because a year ago i was a normal 0.89

00:21:12.240 fucking person right that's why i don't know red carpet etiquette like at all and even um i joke 0.92

00:21:18.400 about this with my creator friends all the time too because obviously there's like like some people 0.98

00:21:24.160 would consider us celebrities but like i always categorize myself as like a creator right or like

00:21:28.480 an influencer and then there's like actual celebrities so like when you walk with real

00:21:33.280 celebrities i always feel like they like don't give a fuck about you right so the photographers 0.92

00:21:39.040 are extra mean like they're like even more fed up with you okay can you go to the next spot yeah 0.92

00:21:44.240 they're okay next next right yeah or they don't even look at you like this trying to make sure they

00:21:49.040 got the last shot of the celebrity so you're standing there and they're like next person it's so

00:21:54.880 i joke about all the time how humbling it is when they're like oh no right right and you're like

00:22:01.600 oh okay yeah no that's totally fine i didn't want a picture right it's okay i didn't need one

00:22:06.880 i was like walking i'm like did you want to see my note card i have i was like i was actually looking

00:22:12.160 for the bathroom right right i don't know where it is i don't need a picture i don't even want one

00:22:18.080 to be honest pictures who even like those darn days videos 2023 i think it's like uh it's one

00:22:26.400 of those things where they invite us because we're important as far as like to get people to tune in

00:22:33.120 yes i really feel like that's a huge that's a huge reason why they invite us a lot of times we're

00:22:37.760 like why would they invite influencers because no one's going to tune in because no one watches live

00:22:41.600 television anymore so if they see us there they're going to like the the odds are they're going to tune

00:22:45.840 in yeah and but at the same time they know that we're not on like the meg the stallion level

00:22:51.280 so they treat us like that when we get there you would have thought we're

00:22:55.920 damn part of the public team as well that's what i said they made me park cars and then i got to walk 0.59

00:23:02.560 can you show these people to their seat yeah if i cleared a table then they let me get a getty 0.99

00:23:09.120 which is so humbling but that's a good thing i think right uh sometimes you need to be humbled a

00:23:14.240 little bit just a little when i walked certain premieres too like sometimes they'll just take

00:23:18.960 one pick and that's it just one yeah they're like one all right go ahead yeah they're like you can go

00:23:24.000 now right i'm like damn i'll send this movie yeah i was like i sat and glammed for four hours but 0.50

00:23:31.200 that's okay right right okay it's fine it's totally fine i didn't care i didn't want one anyway so it's

00:23:35.680 totally fine but who needs those nowadays okay back to this video so we're talking about the pride post 0.84

00:23:42.160 strict so this says no way my kid would be pulled out of this school do not push agendas on my

00:23:48.160 children i mean gay people exist no matter what hello whether or not your child is gay doesn't

00:23:56.800 erase gay people entirely i think when they're like oh you're pushing agendas on my child i'm like

00:24:04.000 there are so many other forms of indoctrination that they never acknowledge like 0.96

00:24:08.160 like heteronormativity is one for example like whether you identify as a boy or a girl and there's

00:24:13.440 no other genders like gender identity to be used by children it's like that's a form of indoctrination

00:24:21.040 because gender is not real gender is a man-made construction come on don't know if any of y'all know

00:24:26.080 that but i think celebrating it's like the acknowledgement of other communities and other 0.96

00:24:33.920 people does not erase you or your community and what the fuck you believe in yeah and it costs 0.58

00:24:40.080 you nothing really to just be nice to people who live differently than you and i'm like when your 0.97

00:24:45.840 kid woke up and said mom i gotta put on a colorful shirt this morning what the hell you thought he was 0.96

00:24:49.920 going to have a relay you think that they put on the rainbow and that turns them gay hello yeah they're 1.00

00:24:57.120 like you will not be partaking in that rainbow shit i don't understand i don't understand this 0.99

00:25:02.800 kind of like this weird policing of like what children are involved because like children 0.99

00:25:09.600 especially don't care right about whether or not people are gay like that is taught to them to hate 0.50

00:25:15.120 gay people that's something that's taught that's not something they're born with right they literally

00:25:19.040 are they learn that through your behaviors and in on the opposite side they learn acceptance and love

00:25:25.920 and empathy through the same behavior so it's like right and i feel like it's like such a proven

00:25:31.680 fact when they be trying to shelter them so much and like pull back and like you're not gonna do this 0.94

00:25:37.040 they be the main ones to turn out a booty bandit yeah thorn ass what allah just be i just tossing it 0.98

00:25:45.920 i'm like okay while he was trying to tell him toss a football he was getting a salad toss but 0.89

00:25:50.640 that's another story for another day it's always the it's always so ironic isn't it no literally

00:26:00.160 it's always so ironic it's like the people it's the same thing for like men who um it's not in the

00:26:09.840 same vein but it's in the same kind of neighborhood of like when men violently fat-shaping women 0.99

00:26:15.280 and then fat women have no problem getting laid bitch hello that that part i promise you that 1.00

00:26:22.400 like some of the most prominent famous successful men in the world love fat women and they and so men 0.99

00:26:29.200 who aren't aren't like that are like there's no way that's true come on it's the same it's the same

00:26:35.920 kind of like they fetishize and love in secret kind of thing right and that's because of the way society

00:26:42.720 treats fat people the way society treats gay people trans people like people have such 0.99

00:26:50.000 strange like it's almost like um a dedication to being awful they're like no to my dying breath 0.84

00:26:57.840 i'm not going to admit i'm not i am gay that i like fat women that i like trans women like it's just 0.89

00:27:05.280 it's they're never gonna oh they're taking it to their grave yeah which is so sad that's sad and 0.99

00:27:10.480 gross and you're like admit you're gay i'm like well damn you could have we would accept you 0.99

00:27:21.040 i think it's also it's just such a it's such a harmful rhetoric to push when uh gay people mind 1.00

00:27:29.120 their business right like they're just trying to live and exist peacefully and not be harassed or

00:27:34.080 threatened right or killed and so just to exist is a radical it's like existing and celebrating your

00:27:42.400 life is like so radical and agenda pushing to people like that did you hear about the guy and uh

00:27:49.360 i don't know where it was but this weekend he was listening to beyonce at the gas station and

00:27:53.360 just dancing the one who was voguing yes yeah and he got stabbed to death it's just it's awful it's so so

00:28:00.640 so awful i think his name was o'shea yeah beyonce had shouted him out on his uh i saw their instagram

00:28:06.640 i'm like yeah those men were booty bandits it's so it's so awful it's terrible how someone literally

00:28:15.520 living and existing and not bothering anybody can affect somebody's thought process in their life so 1.00

00:28:21.520 much no literally it's fucking it's horrible and people like that genuinely i fucking hate them 0.99

00:28:28.480 that part like he was not doing anything to y'all if y'all are that affected by just watching 0.99

00:28:33.920 something walk away i'm like how big was this lot i'm like if y'all needed something from the gas

00:28:39.280 station go in there and walk away yeah do what you have to do but you didn't have to like intervene

00:28:43.920 with what this man was doing yeah you acted like he was voguing all in your face i'm like i doubt that

00:28:49.280 was the case you yeah were the one who inserted yourself in a situation that had nothing to do with

00:28:53.680 yeah exactly and for no reason other than to feel powerful i don't even know to assert dominance i 0.98

00:29:00.480 don't know what the toxic masculinity do sub all that boogany shit yeah the the toxic masculinity thing 1.00

00:29:05.840 is it's really really bad like it affects and it affects everyone and i i just saw a video recently 0.98

00:29:14.080 of a guy saying like toxic masculinity doesn't exist there's just toxic people i'm all those are two

00:29:20.800 different things right like someone being taught in both categories but they are two different things

00:29:27.360 and the irony is that toxic masculinity that term was created by a man he was created by a man who

00:29:34.320 was raised by an extremely misogynistic and homophobic father and he was a militarized father like he was

00:29:41.520 of that and he raised him within such strict like almost like choking parameters like like what the

00:29:49.600 the patriarchy raises man within so he coined that term himself because he he discovered it as he

00:29:56.720 was raised and like as he reflects and stuff and then it was popularized through like therapy psychology

00:30:02.160 and all of that so i'm like the irony of a man saying it doesn't exist when it was created by a man

00:30:08.000 come on who was trying to explain like he was trying to find a reason for why he felt the way he did

00:30:12.880 like why am i so angry all the time why am i so hateful like why am i so mad at women all the time 0.54

00:30:18.560 right and it's literally because of that like he created the term because of that so i'm like that 0.98

00:30:23.760 so ironic that straight men are just the worst they're truly awful sometimes in that part they 1.00

00:30:31.360 really are okay this last comment says what the fuck is this shit do they do that for remembrance day 1.00

00:30:39.760 no so why should they do this for these people they did not die for us save us or anything 1.00

00:30:45.360 huh are you talking about war right that's different babe that's different what you want to

00:30:51.520 say right and what do you mean there are plenty of holidays that celebrate colonizers there are plenty

00:30:56.640 of them like remembrance day yeah columbus day exists president's day all of whom are colonizers

00:31:04.400 you know what i mean right what do you mean there are plenty fourth of july's independence day like

00:31:11.040 hello the list goes on yeah and then gay people are like i just want to celebrate 0.99

00:31:16.960 you know life and loving who i want and they're like oh what else here these bitches go again 1.00

00:31:24.400 here they go right here they go again trying to make another holiday you're like we already got 0.97

00:31:30.240 enough well then one more way going they ain't going to affect you well yeah just don't celebrate

00:31:35.120 it that part then just don't i'm like just like some people don't celebrate christmas you ain't got

00:31:39.840 to celebrate pride exactly and that's the tea

00:31:46.720 okay i'm gonna move on to this next video okay this one is a woman who describes herself as a 1.00

00:31:52.400 relationship coach and she's talking to camera about how the barbie movie's 0.82

00:31:56.960 sole purpose is to brainwash women into hating men she says watching this film will deeply harm 1.00

00:32:03.040 your perception of relationships because all of the men in the movie are either stupid useless creepy or 1.00

00:32:09.440 evil um okay we we were at barbie we saw barbie right um what did you think of barbie 0.99

00:32:20.720 it was very interesting to me the part that i pulled from it was the men in there talking about

00:32:25.600 they were going to beat each other off i know a lot of people didn't pull that but i pulled out

00:32:31.200 and i was like wow that's it's kind of crazy but it was very informative to me like yeah i feel like

00:32:36.480 it was uplifting to women if anything and it was like it had a good message behind it yeah yeah for

00:32:43.680 men and women yeah and anyone else who doesn't identify as either but like even with well your your

00:32:50.000 point about what you pulled is also if you think about it it's also layered because straight

00:32:54.800 men tend to do very homoerotic things right but are also at the same time violently homophobic yeah 0.52

00:33:01.440 so like they do some things that are extremely homosexual and then they have the nerve to also

00:33:08.720 be homophobic i don't understand that part it was a perfect example of that uh i don't know the guy's 0.79

00:33:15.600 name but the basketball player who are who was caught on video humping his friend dry humping like the

00:33:21.520 legs were in the air like this and the basketball player was like pow pow pow and he was like the 1.00

00:33:27.520 video came out and he was like dog dog i'm not with that gay shit it was just us playing 0.99

00:33:31.520 girl what type of plan is that i'm like y'all grown and i'm like you're right and the guy who like 1.00

00:33:42.720 this he's like i'm like right and the guy it wasn't just like girl when i tell you they were putting in 0.99

00:33:49.600 words i was like he was like bro we was just we was just playing a big gay shit i'm like well i don't 0.99

00:33:56.880 know what type of plan y'all evolved in but what the hell is that that's not how i play with my 0.99

00:34:02.880 friends well we just play like a little volleyball a little bad man and some of those like playing

00:34:08.240 games but i'm like do y'all have like an active sign-up list because i want to play right like

00:34:14.880 hey man i think i mean is this a new sport i think i might be good at it hello like i would be

00:34:22.240 really good at it but i was like those are the moms who'd be the main ones that be so home and poplable 0.96

00:34:27.440 to do like homo shit like that i'm like make make up your mind do you want to be an ally or do you wanna 0.98

00:34:34.040 be a part of the group i'm blown away right did not see that oh girl you have but you know what's crazy 1.00

00:34:42.700 is my brother played well all the men in my family have played football my dad played in the nfl my

00:34:49.480 boyfriend played in college like my brother played in high school and my brother like was would talk

00:34:55.720 to us when he was like early on in high school and he would talk about like how the locker rooms

00:35:00.500 like they would do this like the humping what you're talking about like they do it all the time

00:35:05.820 and my brother was like okay well i mean not my vibes but like that's fine and then they would

00:35:11.780 also be really homophobic they'd be like well i'm not gay blah blah okay um sure and then when i

00:35:19.080 talked to my dad my dad goes oh yeah they do that all the time like all the way to the nfl they do

00:35:23.240 that yeah huh and then he's like you guys didn't do that in the locker room no no um no that we didn't

00:35:30.300 actually in case you were wondering no in fact that's so funny you ask because no even my even

00:35:35.860 my boyfriend was like yeah they always do stuff like that that's it's normal right okay

00:35:42.760 for sure for sure normal but then it's like it's like that's fine but then you can't be homophobic

00:35:50.060 like you gotta pick one come on you gotta pick one or the other either you're having either you're 0.96

00:35:55.580 playing around you're playing a humpy dumpy bump or you're homophobic like you gotta pick one i just 0.82

00:36:02.920 don't and and they they like what you said like they do it so like like seriously like viscerally 0.71

00:36:11.140 like i need to see as you're talking let me see if i can find this video just just visually show you

00:36:15.920 how they mean it they mean it girl i don't understand basketball players hump them

00:36:22.600 that's so yeah dude we're just playing so it's not real it's not we're just kidding we're literally

00:36:33.020 just kidding you guys don't kid you don't kid around with your friends you don't toot and boot

00:36:37.220 with your friends we do it all the time so it's like a normal thing it's something that's just what

00:36:43.840 guys do they kid what we do in the locker room just kid around so that's insane that's actually

00:36:51.460 insane that video was a lot worse than i thought and literally like full like boom boom boom i said

00:36:58.260 and he's in and he's in missionary yeah and he's going at it going to pound 0.87

00:37:03.180 i took a trip to pound town girl just left pound town all he knew his booty was brown

00:37:10.580 listen that's yeah that's it's the same it's the that exact that is much more more a violent version

00:37:19.520 of it but like that's like what my dad was talking about when he was like they do it all the time

00:37:24.180 like they just like go behind each other and like pretend to oh yeah even right after the shower just

00:37:30.980 in their towels yes like naked yeah they do it all the time naked like my boyfriend was like yeah

00:37:35.620 they'll just be naked and they'll just walk around and do that yeah try to slap each other sore fight 1.00

00:37:40.600 and all that but they're just kidding and they're not gay not not strong they're not gay i can't stress 0.95

00:37:49.440 that enough they are not n-o-t for those who didn't spell it not i yeah it's it's also and that's

00:37:58.400 exactly like what was in the barbie movie was like it it's like kind of that parallel to

00:38:03.320 they do these homoerotic things and then they get very mad when they because i think it's because 0.66

00:38:11.040 they align being gay with femininity and it's like something they're not allowed to touch and not 1.00

00:38:16.620 allowed to do and it's just like again another like restriction of the patriarchy like they just

00:38:21.920 that they live within but the barbie movie i loved the barbie movie thought it was great

00:38:26.520 um i thought it was amazing um i do think though that the reaction to it is to be expected like

00:38:33.300 when i finished watching it i was like the conservative like alt-right sides of every

00:38:40.240 social media platform media they're gonna hate that movie and it's true they did right i knew i left 0.84

00:38:45.900 with that knowledge i'm like they're probably gonna fucking hate that movie and that's how you know it 0.94

00:38:50.620 was good i loved the through the uh the like shunned upon ken yeah he started beating everybody 0.96

00:38:57.940 ass alec or whatever alan alan yeah but i said come through alan because he was an alley for the barbs

00:39:03.720 right he was for the barbs yeah the girls he was for the girls yes i said alan you are the it girl

00:39:09.760 i also think too that there's nothing wrong with a movie that embraces like femininity and the love

00:39:20.460 and warmth of women right there's nothing wrong with that but of course like you know this the alt-right 0.68

00:39:27.600 like extremely critical side of things they'll find a reason to demonize femininity or some sort of like 1.00

00:39:33.800 empowering movie and it's even empowering to men too because within the movie they talk about how

00:39:40.120 like he's like honestly i liked patriarchy because i thought it was mostly horses it turns out it's not

00:39:45.720 it's a bunch of other stuff that scares me and i don't like that like it turns out patriarchy also 0.99

00:39:50.500 hurts men like that's like what's in there but if you're an idiot then you're not gonna get that 0.99

00:39:55.260 like if you're someone who go over your head yeah if you're misogynistic you're obviously not 1.00

00:39:59.120 gonna absorb that part of the movie uh and some of these comments are proof of that like this one

00:40:04.820 says that's why i took my brother to watch transformers when the rest of my family went to

00:40:09.980 watch barbie and i was like okay you could have just said you wanted to see transformers right that

00:40:17.480 part i'm like y'all guess what baby y'all still paid the same amount for that ticket it's all the same

00:40:23.160 honestly that's the one about the beasts i assume the transformers movie but yes beasts and

00:40:28.780 automobiles rolling out that's all you really need to know that's it that's the whole movie

00:40:34.380 so this is uh also when they talk about how it's like it brainwashes women to hate men

00:40:41.620 men are not the center of that movie that's kind of the whole point right the point is to like remove

00:40:47.660 men from your like confidence and like your self-worth is like it's to pluck it out and don't

00:40:54.600 value them right don't weigh their opinions for your own self-worth like that that's the point

00:40:59.260 hello like this one says what the heck are these comments she hit it on the nose or on the dot this

00:41:06.160 movie was the most sexist movie i've ever seen i love when men say women are sexist i love that

00:41:12.520 oh it gives me a little tingle oh i love it they just got opinions because they got breath in their lungs

00:41:18.700 that's what i've come to the conclusion of yeah it's one of those where you're like well i'm not

00:41:24.560 gonna convince you hello right literally that's why when i make my videos i'm just fucking mean to 0.91

00:41:29.320 them i know i'm not trying to change you like you're not gonna change so you're not gonna listen 0.98

00:41:33.400 to me so i might as well make these fucking jokes hello catch these jokes bitch that's all 1.00

00:41:38.460 clearly they're gonna catch that 1.00

00:41:40.620 that's just playing around though true they're just playing they're just messing around playing sports

00:41:47.280 this one says i didn't make it five minutes into that movie and i turned it off i couldn't sit

00:41:53.820 through that well first of all that's a lie because you can't turn off a movie and that movie's not 0.99

00:41:58.320 streaming services liar liar liar you're lying you're a sinner 0.99

00:42:02.480 second like i know we can't show their pictures but this guy is bald 1.00

00:42:08.520 listen it tracks is all i'm saying like it's a pattern like one time's a coincidence two times 0.92

00:42:14.440 it's a pattern that part when i make jokes about men being bald like they get so fucking mad at me 0.97

00:42:18.800 and they call me sexist which again like that's not what sexism is babe that's called being mean 0.98

00:42:23.880 i'm being mean to you get it right all she's saying is you look like a kneecap or an elbow 0.99

00:42:29.140 bald bald bitch like and honestly take it up with god like it's not my fault he doesn't like you 1.00

00:42:36.860 that part we didn't take your hair jeans away i just didn't give them to you if anything 1.00

00:42:41.480 that's why you should hate women you should hate your mom because most times male pattern baldness 0.85

00:42:46.080 comes through maternal bloodlines come on that would make sense if you hated your mom for that 0.98

00:42:50.520 reason but most of them still kiss their mom on the mouth so i guess it doesn't matter that part

00:42:55.000 and i bet their mom got a little karen bob i can see it now yeah this guy we can't show his

00:43:02.180 picture but he is literally bald like he's a bald white guy and he has like a one of those like

00:43:07.020 beards that sits on the chin yeah underneath it doesn't go up yeah nice love that that's like the

00:43:13.000 the racist starter pack

00:43:14.440 oh i love that starter you can pick a race starter pack right here bald head a wraparound sunglasses

00:43:23.360 hello beard that only goes on the chin on the chin doesn't go up no mustache nothing

00:43:28.900 love that for him james i'll say your name james this is james on here i think too like

00:43:37.360 i just think if you don't like things why would you pay money to go see them right i don't understand

00:43:44.320 it because if he did quote unquote turn it off or walk out you literally wasted your money and guess 0.99

00:43:51.160 what they still don't know who the fuck you are i don't like your movie sir who are you again 0.99

00:43:57.920 it's the same thing like what we said it's like you're at home right i'm on the carpet you're at 0.99

00:44:04.240 home thank you babe thank you thank you so much made a bag and a half ryan goodman made a bag and a

00:44:09.020 half you spent the bag all you had really hello right you spent the bag all you had so therefore

00:44:18.380 they're winning i think too with with that's how i feel about all haters but especially like

00:44:24.920 when they are hyper critical like of your outfit of my outfit of of just anything under the sun

00:44:31.120 because they are allowed to they see it and that's their free speech is they get to like write hate

00:44:35.680 right i always just think like it's kind of like what my friend caleb says he's like my life is better

00:44:40.440 than yours and it always will be and you hate that and that's how i fall so you can write this all day 0.63

00:44:46.140 long but like i'm still going to be living a much better more fulfilled life than you come on at the end

00:44:50.960 of the day my friend samaya said something the other day that kind of stuck with me i think she

00:44:55.500 said you can't have two cents if you ain't got two dollars to give period period that's wise right i

00:45:05.200 love that hello that little boy there's james you was probably pissed because you spent your money

00:45:11.080 and enjoyed the movie now you ain't got two dollars to give your two cents so keep it to yourself

00:45:15.320 exactly okay so as we wrap it up what would you say is your best piece of advice for people who are

00:45:23.220 trying to whether they're trying to be a creator or they're just trying to like exist in the world in

00:45:28.660 this world that can be so scary sometimes what would you say is your best piece of advice to be like

00:45:33.060 as authentic as possible especially online right my best piece of advice would just be

00:45:40.660 to go into it knowing who you are as a person and you always know to grow as an individual

00:45:46.700 and things like that sort but don't filter yourself to try to fit a standard or a group that you feel

00:45:55.800 like you're belonging because you're going to belong where you belong and what's for you is for you no man

00:46:00.740 can take it away so therefore just be yourself be your authentic self show your personality and just be

00:46:07.420 true to what you know and who you are as a person because i feel like that's how we've been able to

00:46:11.420 win and anybody else i've seen grow in this space and don't be afraid from if you see somebody with 0.86

00:46:18.040 higher status or a-list celebrity if them bitches are rude to you do not give them the same respect 1.00

00:46:22.540 you have to give respect to get it period because at the end of the day i'm like i don't we still pissing 1.00

00:46:27.580 shit the same way my mom always told me uh opinion is like an asshole we all got one so don't let 0.99

00:46:36.440 nobody judge you and try to walk over you like you don't mean anything or add any value yeah you are 1.00

00:46:42.620 a great individual you add so much to the team and so much to the world so just be yourself and just show

00:46:49.660 your authentic self because at the end of the day that's what people are going to want to relate to and

00:46:53.800 connect to and see who you truly are as an individual so period yeah i love that and and

00:47:00.280 also to your same point about if even if they're like a more famous person if they're rude to you

00:47:05.400 especially if you're trying to be a creator or something you don't have to be polite back or you

00:47:09.380 don't have to like do anything to like make them like you like don't try to pretend to be someone

00:47:13.660 you're not to make them like you this industry is very small and everybody remembers and to piggyback

00:47:19.160 of what you say you know our virgo energy i remember everything me too i ain't gonna say
