Opinion: Chappelle was just being real

The ones who has issues with Comedian Dave Chappelle after his Netflix special ‘the Closer’ that premiered on the 5th October 2021. It has caused an outcry and sparked controversy. While watching it… I only saw the same real comedian that I gotten know over all the years. The stories, the tales and the reality he describes seems “legit”. So, why this issue now?

Yes, there is always a need to address minorities and their rights. There is a need to viable and be direct about it. Discussions and talks, where people have to in the end, agree to disagree and still be cordial. However, with the comedy special have gotten twisted into something else.

Yes, Chappelle is direct and doesn’t spare any of his words. He knows his craft and has a capacity to blow someone’s mind. The jokes he had was poignant and blasphemous in the woke crowds of the internet. Nevertheless, these folks cannot take a joke or live in our reality. As they want everything to be “correct” and not without consequences. That’s why it’s easy to target the stand-up comedian for telling his story.

Not like Chappelle would change legislation or give more power to you. No, he is just addressing the double standards, the way the LGBTQ have vast power, but no checks or balances on it. Yes, they still have grievances, but who doesn’t right? They are not alone in society and they have come really far. That’s why any sort of Marvel and DC hero is becoming LGBTQ while there is nobody writing stories, which challenges your mind or entertains you for long. Therefore, the group should think about the focus and losing strike to assault Chappelle.

Chappelle even stated that he was tarnished by the group wrongly and been labelled by them. While he never had any real grudges. Heck, he even helped a Trans-Woman to become a better comedian. If he had issues with their “tribe” wouldn’t he had shunned her? Not talked and respected her? Well, he did… so the ones going after him. Don’t like that someone with a huge platform addresses the matter.

The same proof of hypocrisy is stated in the joke on the situation earlier this year of the rapper DaBaby. Who spoke his mind and tried to damage control it afterwards. He was homophobic and speaking ill of it. Alas, that was more damaging to his career, as Dua Lipa and others distances themselves from him. While nobody had any issues with him… because he killed someone at Wall Mart before his career popped-off. Therefore, you can quickly question the morality and the value of their believes.

This is why Chappelle’s Comedy Special is important. Because, it proves the reality. You might not agree with it or accept it. However, if you want things to move forward and understand the questions of our time. There is a need for pieces like these. You cannot have a Political Correct skit or jokes. Nobody will laugh at that and it will be a direct-to-DVD failure of a project. Nobody will watch it or care about it. It is dead on arrival and there was nothing to salvage. Only the pay-checks paid by the producers and the companies involved. The general public will not feel it or even bother.

That’s why Chappelle and such needs to speak their mind. They open an conversation. He proves it and explains the matters with fine detail. He takes responsibility, but also humility. Chappelle isn’t policing, but reacting to the pushbacks, which isn’t fair to him. Since they don’t really know him or his kind. They had labelled him before he went up on stage. Why do you think he should bother to be peaceful and ignorant?

Chappelle is now controversial for good. He drops the bag and everyone can see it. The ones who is displeased cannot mange the reality we live in. They cannot manage their expectations or what is really going on. There are things missing and people who feels touched, feels betrayed and questioned by this. However, have they seen any of other pieces? It is not like he haven’t used this sort of humour before… and they should have been prepared.

Chappelle is bold. He doesn’t pack himself in correctness or badging himself in what is right at the time. Chappelle just spoke his mind and explained a discrepancy in society. However, trying to cancel him is a lost cause. He will just grow stronger. If you have issues with what he said. Try to get legislators to work on legislation and just laws. Make sure the government institutions and everyone else follows these ideals. Not expect a comedian to dance to your tune. That’s not happening. Because, if he did? He wouldn’t be funny. Period. Peace.

Opinion: Repzilla I don’t believe you…

Well… of all the Tea-Community channels on Youtube. Repzilla dropped a statement and written sentiment saying sorry for participation or involvement in the Eugenia Cooney Petition to take de-platform her totally or suspend her all her social media accounts.

Alas, I don’t trust this man one bit. Shane Andrews of Tennessee or Georgia. Well, I don’t believe this man. Not one single bit. He has deleted videos and tried to cover his tracks now. Most likely privated videos, which either implicates him or could have caused a scandal now. It was a total of 300k views who was gone overnight. That is a lot and says even more.

Repzilla have tried to snake himself out things before. Like he tried to walk-away from the Gabbie Hanna issues. A influencer, singer and Youtuber, who he has made dozens of videos on. He has targeted both her and Cooney.

What is striking about Repzilla… he has even said he known more about the criminal cases than the police officers investigating Onision. That’s because he was so invested in it and his community know so much more. If that is true… why didn’t you direct all your knowledge to the officers so they could investigate, charge, indict and later detain for the supposed. Aye? Go figure, right?

Well, Repzilla is something else. That’s why he has people on Youtube like Redski, Marsii and Primink who has exposed and shown a sinister side of him. Repzilla himself will never give any credit or validation to this. However, we are supposed to believe his words and allegations on others. While he did in the past work with Marsii but never wanted to give him any sort of credit. That’s the sort of southern gentlemen he is…

So, the Cooney and Gabbie Hanna “murder article” proves the shadiness of his business. That he is reckless and wants the clicks. Repzilla wants the views and the rage. Maybe that’s why his Twitter handle is ZillaRAGE? Because he needs the rage and the anger?

Repzilla also uses a past car-accident as a get-out-of-prison card like his playing monopoly. It is his magic trick. Sort of a retarded one, but that’s the truth. This man should know better, because he can have hindsight and act a fool. However, he would never give that benefit of a doubt to any other content creator, which he discusses in his videos. No, he would bury them and hit them with a shovel. Just to ensure the stay dead and be in their designated grave. That’s the sort of fella he seems to me.

I have seen enough videos of Repzilla during quarantine to know this. When I saw his M.O. and such. I un-subscribed and moved-on.

I know Repzilla back-down from the Cooney Petition to buy peace. Because, he saw how Pastel Belle or Belle Aubrey have gotten criticized and he don’t want the same sort of treatment. He wants be off the hook and only be mentioned in passing. Since that will not demolish or discredit him to much. While the naysayers can point at the “sorry” move and forget all the shady behaviour.

Because, this man is awaiting the next rage train. He wants the next big tea or drama. Repzilla needs a scandal and someone really messing up. That’s what he needs and he needs it fast. It needs to be a viral sort of affair that breaks the cycle of Willy Mac Show and the Commentary Community assault on the Tea Channels. That’s what he needs, but right now it’s not happening.

Repzilla needs a allegation and a redemption arch. He needs a “Frenemies” moment. That’s what he needs, but I don’t think he will get it. Shane is stuck in his ways and he will take things out of context. Just so he can create rage and hate in honour of positivity turtles. Where he will speak of important subjects and values. In a place of good intent, but at the same time spin-it in his favour. Spice it just enough to entice and ensure the fans watch one of his videos. Because, that’s what he does.

Repzilla have tricks and uses them. Not only his southern accent and weird hair. No, he uses “sympathy” trolling to another level. Where it looks like he cares and wants the best, but only does to profit on the characters he depicts on a regular basis. Therefore, I don’t believe his “apology”. I don’t … I think he did that to patch the hurt and damage control. So, that people can focus on Belle Aubrey and forget about him. Peace.

Opinion: Pastel Belle or Belle Aubrey get a grip….

The Youtuber and internet personality Pastel Belle or Belle Aubrey better start to slow down or take some time off. Because, she is participating in a war she cannot win. That I can say…. and for one simple reason. Belle doesn’t have the evidence or the proof the allegations she’s putting forward in her content.

As a content creator who is critiquing other Youtube and influencers. You be able to back up your claims and proof what your alleging. It is not science. Even if some wants to be rumour-mills and tabloid content creators with no substance. However, Belle says she sits down and educates people.

I will beg to differ. What she does wouldn’t be equipped or be close to a session with a lecturer or a professor. She neither comes out with the full context or theories before pinning incredible allegations. It is taking conspiracy to another level of insanity. While the watcher is supposed to believe the stories she’s telling.

If she can do this to fellow Youtubers and influencers. What will she do as a political commentator? Will she become a Blair White of a sort? Or does she wants to talk fast like Ben Shapiro? No, she wants to be a washed-up Vaush. That’s what she’s seeking for and hopes that Hasan Piker can become her buddy.

Well, Belle is clearly out of depth and she cannot reach enough of straw-man arguments to save her cause or her reputation. That is lost in the wind. The means to end is gone. The profitable vilification of others online isn’t working anymore.

If she handles this sort of pressure this way with drama and her own content. Maybe she shouldn’t join politics. Politicians and political commentators can be much more ruthless and less forgiving too. They will pin-point everything and ensure your arguments are brutally destroyed. That’s why your game needs to be correct and not just empty assumptions. Why? Because, assuming things is a bitch. It will haunt you and they will feed your arguments to the fishes.

So, please let this one go. You are going to far and cannot save your content. Neither your arguments either. Belle, you can either choose the long-con or the short-con. Since, you clearly is sinking and seems not willing to swim. You should kiss the ring and say your wrong. However, I doubt your willing to do that. So, then you can only jump on the sword and kiss the game goodbye.

Because, this isn’t it and the performance you have … is well not any good. The second response to Willy Mac Show only undercuts you and proves how despicable you are. While other cannot go two months back in time to look into your content. You can go back a decade and speak your mind. How nice is that? You can assume and allege things about everyone. But… nobody can do that about you. How fitting, right? Your opinion is always the right opinion and we all should know that. How dare you?

Well… Belle… when you start with politics. I can assure you. Willy Mac Show is nothing. He is letting you off easy. In the world of politics and commentary. They will skin-you alive and you better come out with all ammunition. Not just pointing at obvious flaws, but come correct. That is something I cannot see coming from you.

So… Goodbye and thanks so much for the fish. Peace.

A look into Helloleesh [a YouTuber who needs an “audit”]

Well, thanks to this pandemic and quarantine, I have been able to watch more content and creators on Youtube. Because of this … I saw some of her videos, but never got into her vibe. She wasn’t my cup of tea. However, other like it and enjoy it apparently and that’s all up to them.

What I will discuss is the Youtuber Channel called HelloLeesh, which is made by the creator called Alicia Paige. She joined Youtube in 2007 and have had over 5 million views on her channel. Where she tends to drop what she calls “BAP” or “Basically A Podcast”. This is the sort of content where she discuss influencers, online drama and other creators on Youtube. Her channel has had the main focus on everything about Gabbie Hanna and in that sphere. That has been into such levels that you could wonder, if she is obsessed or not.

HelloLeesh is arrogant and entitled in some ways. She has no trouble with showing it either. That she is above the rest, because she got an education and have been a student at a renowned university. In her videos she easily brush people off and tell they are stupid without any hesitation. While proclaiming that some things are just known internally and if your a paid Paetron. That’s the sort of person she is, I suppose.

Like everyone else…. She is entitled to her opinion and so is everyone else. If you make a dozens of videos and even connects with the fandom of a another creator. People are going to question you about it. Especially, when you get called out on it and you push the gender-card and the sexual-preferences as well against the detractors. That just shows that you have very little argument to defend you actions and what you did last summer.

Just to be clear. There is defined line between criticism and “hot-air”. She can really talk, but comes with a lot of allegations. HelloLeesh can also put out her whole registry of emotions on her talks. It is rare to see someone go online and put their mind bare to everyone to see. It is weird how invested she is in the drama sometimes. That’s why her channels isn’t like everyone else. For some that would be a nice way of selling the content. However, in her case it is only for the “fans” of her.

What is also a worrying sign is that she can get involved in young fans and connect directly with them. Secondly, she has also used her fan-base to go after other creators who has questioned her. The little creator like “Bambi’s Rambles” who has been targeted and a leaked Paetron video proved it. Therefore, she is using tactics, which she has openly criticized Gabbie Hanna of doing. What is striking is that she can be so vocal against a bigger creator, but use the same means herself. You should think someone would be wiser, but clearly that’s too much to ask.

HelloLeesh deserves to be questioned and also when she just flexing on everyone. When she has the nerve to be arrogant and ignorant at the same time. While expecting the viewers to just eat her words up. However, that is not whole the world spins around.

Alicia you needs to humble yourself and also prove your recites. Your just talking and never proving things. That’s people have to trust your words, which I would question. Because, what is your motive and reasons for saying these things? Where do you take your reasoning from?

That is what is bugging me. Plus please don’t make more Gabbie Hanna content, unless your obsessed and cannot stop thinking about her. HelloLeesh is a tea-channel and that is evident by her content. She might not accept that, but that’s the truth. Peace.

National Union of Journalists of the Philippines: NUJP to Roque – Don’t deny Cencorship on PH Press (12.10.2021)

Opinion: Three Musketeers of Bad “Tea”-Content on Youtube

Well, thanks to COVID-19 and quarantine, I had more time and ability to stream videos on Youtube. Over time I could see patterns and manners of which I disliked. These three Youtube Channels stood out. I have watched all three, as they came into my recommend on my feed. However, after some time. There was just a time to give them up. Also, other channels stated the obvious and tales of lies, deception and deceit was established on social media. Therefore, I am writing this now.

The three channels in question are these:

Shane Andrews aka Repzilla. He joined Youtube in November 2015 and has over 31,000,000 views. Repzilla got 193k subscribers. His supposed focus is supposed to “raise awareness” on serious matters and dangers in society. A social commentary you might say.

Belle Aubrey aka Belle Pastel or Belle Aubrey. She joined Youtube in May 2017 and has over 6,700,000 views. Belle Pastel/Aubrey got 70k subscribers. She is known for uploading videos concerning mental health, equality and general commentary.

Dennis Feitosa aka Def Noodles. He joined Youtube in October 2018 and has over 100,000,000 views. Def Noodles has 584k subscribes. Def Noodles was in the past a satirical news-program on Youtube, as a cat in a Mine-craft house. However, that character was flawed and he had to make another version of himself. So, he relaunched himself and is now trying to be a Howard Stern and “edgy”. Though it comes forward as cringe and his credibility is lacking.

I’m calling these three channels, tea-channels, because they spill the tea. It’s a lot of gossip and hearsay. They speak of online personalities, influencers and other Youtubers. That’s what they have mainly focused on.

Repzilla wants to look saint. That he looks like cares about everyone and only wants spread awareness. However, he is really spinning the whole thing. His vilifying people for own personal gains. That’s why his brave enough to claim he understand Onison better than the Police Officers who investigated the case. He is using straw-man tactics and portraying everyone in a bad light. Making countless of videos on Gabbie Hanna and other creators. Just so he can get more positivity turtles in his commentary feed. Whatever slow-minded or numb tingling feeling that gives the man from Tennessee.

Belle Pastel or Aubrey went from a personal v-log into a tea-channel. She has made a name for herself for her coverage of Eugenia Cooney. Cooney is another Youtuber and influencer, which is really striking. Her coverage of her can be questioned together with Repzilla. Where they have vilified her without any direct proof. They are alleging things and doesn’t prove their allegations. That is seriously looking like bullying and shouldn’t be allowed to do on the platform. Especially, when both creators are trying to bring “awareness” and being people who are supposed to care about these “causes”.

The last one is a bit more unique. Def Noodles is the only one I written a whole piece about before. His now banned from Twitter and the platform has suspended him indefinitely. That could have happen, because of the manner of his “reporting” is filled with “fake-news” and “fake allegations”. He is taking things out of context and weaponize it to fit his narrative.

Def Noodles have dropped his mine-craft house and cat-ears. However, his trying to be edgy, but he ends up being very cringe. He sounds like a kid who just learned how to swear. Neither does his punchlines hit or comedian timing. We can also state with a fact, that Keemstar of DramaAlert lives rent-free in his head. Def Noodles have defamed people and slandered several of people too. Therefore, at one point… someone might bury him and his platform. He should be more careful, but when you have to make content every single day. This sort of channels needs drama and tea. Def needs to make it hot, but by doing so he has to make shortcuts and not tell the whole stories. That is evident… and only his fans eats his words. Which is tragic, because they are believing the bias of one man.

All these three content creators can make good content if they will. They have the equipment and the time. I have no doubt that they could make content with credible sources and receipts, but I haven’t seen that yet. It’s a lot of feelings and allegations while not proving it. When that is done again and again. That’s when you know it’s a pattern.

These three wouldn’t have accepted to get through the treatment they are putting others through. I would guess that they would go defensive and block the detractors. The Youtubers would feel betrayed and said this is insulting. While they can go after others without questions asked. That’s why they should consider… if someone made content like they do about themselves. If that happened, I think they would be more hurt and be more victim. Since, they are not letting others get their say. While they are making new content every single day or week. Peace.

Tanzania Human Rights Defenders Coalition (THRDC): Statement Condemning Arbitrary Arrest and Detention of Cartoonist Optatus Fwema (04.10.2021)

Opinion: OnlyFans flaccid final act

There are certain pages and parts of the internet which is made for or has become a places “Not Safe For Work” (NSFW). OnlyFans has been known for this and has a reputation and delivers certain types of content. That has been done with content creators who is willing and selling it online. They have been using the subscription model paying fixed monthly fees and also one-time payments for behind the pay-wall content as well.

Therefore, today’s news isn’t surprising. The rumours of OnlyFans going away from pornographic, Sex-Work and Lewd content has been on the horizon. Especially, since the website and owners has been searching for investment and funding to run it. Because, having such vast amount of content and distribution online has to be expensive with storage and such.

OnlyFans is already getting percentages of the sales from each creator. That is clearly not enough. While there is certain top creators who is earning millions of dollars and others have made this into a livelihood. Where they pose, drop pictures and videos. There been leaks from the page and some are using this as a “risky” Instagram account and pocketing easy money.

Now, the owners and shareholders of OnlyFans are going away from what they are known for. They are initially saying they are shifting content and focus. When they from October will block sexual explicit content. That is really going away from the special subscription to certain IG Models and internet personalities. Even some music artists has made accounts and blown up too.

Therefore, OnlyFans and the way the services has been rendered has been on the explicit content. It hasn’t been made on selling knitting tricks or cooking lectures. No, this page haven’t been family friendly or even artistic. No, this page has been a porn page with a pay-subscriptions, which has become a talk of the town. It has gone viral and been discussed online. If you follow certain people on YouTube. You will see them rating OnlyFans pages and telling how they are posting content. Therefore, this will also be lost genre there as well.

Certainly, the easy money and struggles will hit several of accounts on OnlyFans. As they have been living off and having a pay-off from the website. There will also be a bunch of people wondering where to go and wonder if they can follow their star, internet personality or IG model elsewhere. Since this has been the go to place for this and easily accessible.

While we can wonder, why the OnlyFans does it now? And if they were bushwhacked into a lewd site? As it seemed like a Paetron, but turned into a “pay-to-play” and “members only” hub. Instead, some of the creators now have to seek safe-haven elsewhere. If it even exists or is this accessible for the ones selling it.

What is also striking is that the OnlyFans page is going against it’s biggest earners and what it has become into. The OnlyFans isn’t a Paetron. Neither is it a Ko-Fi or Rokfin. It is showing NSFW and porn, which is what all the people are coming there in the first place. They are coming their with their hands over fist. The customers are not coming there for Disney stories, but Playboy bunnies unwind and being naughty.

So, the OnlyFans blocking and stopping this content is going against the grain. They are taking away the reason why the people are subscribing there and using their money on the services there. For me… this is a move of self-destruction and destroying what they already have.

This is like Colgate stop selling toothpaste or Cadbury stop selling chocolate. Because, investors saying they need to rebrand them to something else. However, we know these brands for one thing and when you take that away. Than there isn’t anything else left of it.

This is destroying what was built. OnlyFans is making itself irrelevant and soon it can be remembered like MySpace or Google+. Peace.
