what you do have is a talent Cody ko and I
challenge you bro to take that talent of
like being funny and put it elsewhere
into something positive that like does
it doesn't create so much hate that's so
that's really the main point I'm just
trying to make here Jesus Christ thank
goodness I was one of these sunglasses
from the bright light of the massive
virtue signal that Jake Paul just sent
out 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
what's happening in the YouTube
community and try to see what lessons we
can learn from them to improve our own
lives so make sure you subscribe and win
that notification bell so I was sitting
well on my girlfriend Tristan now we
were just catching up on some YouTube
which is actually interesting for the
topic of this video which is
cyberbullying commentary channels who
use comedy like we were getting caught
up on danny gonzalez drew gooden jarvis
johnson leon lush and all of a sudden I
was browsing around on Twitter and I
thought Jake Paul and cody KO were
swimming I'm like what's happening and I
see a bunch of people tweeting about
this am i all right cool let's sit down
watch this video to see what's going on
and oh my god so oh I'll summarize this
video for you a little bit Jake Paul he
just made a video confronting kotico
saying kotico is basically a cyber
bullying is bullying people I understand
why Jake Paul did this has a young
audience and he's trying to send out
this message that bullying is wrong
cyberbullying is wrong and cody KO is
kind of promoting that right I get it I
get the message that Jake Paul was
trying to send out here's the thing I
see this I see this as the same
situation with Geoffrey star were like
sometimes you're the wrong messenger to
send this out okay so Jake Paul in his
video says things like this I'm not
youtube's hero I'm not here to like save
the day and
and like you know who do like all this
stuff but this guy Cody ko is a bully
he's a cyber bully and I hate I mean
hate cyber bullies like I hate it it's
the worst thing in the world people are
hiding behind their computers talking
shit about other people it's consumed
our generation it's consumed our society
and I think it's largely in part to do
with these negative trolls online
whether 2.5 million subscribers
unfortunately what most of us are
hearing is this hey everybody I'm about
to call out Cody Co for cyberbullying
but please please do me a favor and
forget that I shamelessly sell products
to children and / promote them I have
been caught emotionally abusing my
previous girlfriends and and that I
cheated on them oh oh oh and please
forget that I promoted a gambling scheme
to children as well and that's the
problem
that is the problem all right you are
not the messenger to send out this
message about cyber bullying because you
are somebody who is not a good person
objectively in most people's eyes you
are not a good person you take advantage
of children there have been cheating on
women you've been using your power to
get instagram models in bed like oh this
was exposed right and now Jake Paul is
trying to come out and say we need to
send out a message of positivity to
everybody and it's like yeah I get it
okay so cyber bullying is something that
you know I look at I look at this
because we have kids who are struggling
with things like depression and anxiety
if cyber bullying is definitely a factor
like I was having a conversation with
one of my friends the other day who's
about my age I'm 33 years old and like I
can't imagine growing up with social
media right now we're like like there's
gonna be a rumor that goes around your
school and like maybe some people hear
about it maybe some people don't but no
social media like it would be crazy for
to be back back in school right now what
everybody could just blast each other on
social media and it's
both secrets and photos and all sorts of
things like that sucks
cyberbullying is not cool but here's the
thing when it comes to channels like
kotico or the other commentary channels
that I mentioned I think it's important
to understand the difference okay and
because I don't really see this as
cyberbullying and and here's a few
reasons why so a great example is last
night my beautiful girlfriend Tristan
and I we went out and we got to see one
of our favorite comedians Tom Segura
okay so if any of you follow Tom Segura
months ago
last year in 2018 or something he
bullied the entire state of Louisiana
okay Louisiana was pissed he had a bit
about the the border wall and he was
talking about how you know we should
build a wall around the state of
Louisiana because it sucks right and
people in Louisiana got pissed like Tom
Segura got so much hate so many emails
and everything like that and I think
they like banned him from Louisiana or
people are calling to benefit Louisiana
or whatever and it's like this is comedy
like so last night Tom Segura you know
he went onstage but he also had an
opener and what's fascinating and I'm
not gonna spoil it for any of you who
are gonna go see Thompson Garant or is
that comedians comedians have to
dedicate a part of their segments to
talking about how offended people get
right how offended people get over these
these trivial ridiculous things like
I'll tell you something that I've
learned about my own mental health is to
laugh at yourself okay like that will
help distress you you know what I mean
like here's a great example something I
learned is embarrassment is completely
subjective right what embarrasses me
might not embarrass you okay once I came
to that reality I realized that other
people don't have the control to
embarrass me it is a feeling that I get
and nobody can put on me because if I
learn how to laugh at myself and laugh
about these things I take power away
from people if you're ever in my youtube
comments on Twitter like when people
talk trash to me and people bully me
I used to post this stuff on my
Instagram and Twitter all the time
like where people would like make a fat
joke or something like that I would just
laugh about it right like they don't
have power over me like I already know
these things about myself
so here's the other issue with Jake
Paul's argument about this being cyber
bullying like where's the line where's
the line because in my opinion kotico
got ambushed I was telling Tristan while
we're watching it like everybody should
have a Rolodex on the the BS that Jake
Paul's done over the years right like I
think Jake Paul is a fair target okay
but where's this line drawn right like
are you only allowed to make fun and
poke fun at people as long as it doesn't
hurt their feelings because the problem
is is that you won't know it hurts their
feelings until you make that joke
because some people are gonna take it
better than others right like Chris
D'Elia is one of my favorite comedians
as well and he said this but I've heard
a bunch of comedians say this I listen
to a lot of podcasts of comedians but
Chris D'Elia was saying like here's the
thing about comedy every single joke is
going to offend somebody okay like that
is just the nature of comedy okay but
when we're talking about this line
talking about cyber bullying two of my
favorite commentators are John Oliver
and Trevor Noah
so John Oliver hosts the show last week
tonight Trevor Noah hosts the daily show
most of their show is making fun of
people in power okay like they they
catch you up to speed on what's going on
in the world today John Oliver does more
deep dives and everything like that but
he makes fun of people constantly even
like talking a little bit about this in
a video he did about public shaming and
how they really like sit down and look
at the situation and say all right
should we should we like say make fun of
this person because I might send a mob
after them and you know when is it
justified and everything so I respect
that John Oliver opened up and talked
about this but our John Oliver and
Trevor Noah and their writing teams no
longer to a mate make fun of like
politicians who are scummy people are
they not allowed to make fun of those
people because they're doing crappy
things
now one would argue someone like Lele
pons isn't really hurting anybody but
there are some shady things about Lele
pons that I won't dive into and I don't
even know if it's confirmed
but anyways anyways like who's free game
and this is an issue that we see with
the commentary community so in my
opinion I think a lot of these
commentary channels have some pretty
good ethical guidelines around who they
make fun of who they poke fun at who
they quote unquote bully and if you
watch them and see what they're saying
they'll mention how they're punching up
alright like they punch up so it's
somebody with less power poking fun at
somebody with more power now one of the
things that gets tricky is when you
become a successful commentary channel
then you start to get more power and it
starts to equal a little bit right but
they've built an entire brand off of
punching up you see what I'm saying so
that's where it gets a little bit tricky
like in the Jarvis Johnson video that he
was just talking about he was making fun
of an app developer called voodoo and he
mentioned how voodoo has been sued
and/or is in legal situations because
they rip off indie creators right so the
fact that Jake Paul is coming in to to
talk about how kotico these to spread
positivity and love and quit bullying
and stuff like that like Jake Paul is
somebody who I feel is free game when it
comes to being made fun of right Logan
Paul is somebody who I consider it being
free game when it comes to being made
fun of like I mentioned in another video
I think Logan Paul's doing better on his
journey of becoming a better person
Jake Paul we haven't seen any changes
from like even in his documentary series
with Shane Dawson like he he talked
about the nerd city exposed video and
like he's still justified all his
actions of shamelessly over promoting to
children right like Jake Paul isn't
somebody who's become this better human
being and that's the issue so the last
point I'll make is I think people like
Jake paul and Jeffrey star their
messages would be heard a lot better if
when they were calling out certain
behavior they also admitted to their own
faults something that I try to do a lot
is when I call our behaviors I admit to
being that person before as well and
coming from more of a place of empathy
rather than attacking but the issue is
is that when Jake Paul does stuff like
this it's just massive virtue signaling
and he's trying to you know create this
false narrative that he's just some
amazing dude and walking around like
he's holier than thou no Jake Paul you
screw up more than anybody so
confronting kotico was absolutely
ridiculous alright but I would love to
know your thoughts on this topic what do
you think about being able to laugh at
yourself do you think what kotico and
other commentary channels are doing is
bullying let me know down in the
comments below all right bye anyways
