he bullies kids bro i don't like that
which kids
I don't like cyber bullies and you're a cyber bully
hi I should be working on a
different video right now about high
school musicals so look out for that but
I saw this Jake Paul confronting kotico
video yesterday and I can't stop
thinking about it I guess
is it just an extra video if you haven't
heard by now Jake Paul made a video
confronting kotico as an Internet bully
oh and if you're not familiar with Jake
Paul he makes YouTube videos and cody KO
is just a regular commentary youtuber I
I guess we would be in the same genre on
YouTube probably and I'm a fan of his
stuff I don't know either these guys and
I'm hesitant to even talk about this
because I'm not trying to become a drama
channel but there are so many problems
with the video mostly stemming from the
fact that Jake Paul doesn't seem to know
what bullying is so if this video comes
out dumb I'll just delete it cuz not
trying to start shit anyway Jake
apparently has a problem with Cody
because he's made a few videos about him
but who hasn't I mean I think that's why
he's making the video but I'm not sure
because the premise is very convoluted
there's a douchebag named Cody Coe and
we are about to his life oh yeah is that
a good intro thanks mom no I'm just
kidding kind of not really um so is this
a joke or is it not a joke
I'm confused and I've watched the whole
video I am not to confront like one of
my biggest haters 28-year old wannabe
comedian cody KO based on jake stone
I assume this is meant to be an insult
calling Cody a wannabe comedian and
mentioning that he's 28 years old as if
that's some sort of really old age which
I've seen kids use as an insult but Jake
is 22 he's not even that much younger
the other way that Jake tries to cut
Cody down in this intro is by saying
that he was a little back-end tech
developer or I saw this kotico guy for
the first time when he was working at
full screen which is like a YouTube
commune
Network as like a little backend tech
developer I have to say as a 27 year old
former little back in tech developer I'm
offended
I'm quaking and I'm weeping over my
computer science degree Cody went to
Duke for computer science and Jake is
acting like that's a bad thing it's
almost like how a jock would would make
fun of a nerd you know and like a
stereotypical TV high school unrelated
but now's a good time for me to mention
that people who went to school with Jake
Paul described him as a bully I'm not
saying it's true
I'm just saying that it's very
believable and now he just shits on
people to become famous that's that's
that's it so this is the first big
problem that I have with the entire
premise of this video Jake Paul thinks
that Cody is just ripping on people to
become famous and like I can see maybe
how it looks like that if you like
squint your highs you know and a really
far away but to be honest it's just a
really elementary understanding of
criticism and comedy I don't want to put
words in Cody's mouth but what it seems
like he's doing is finding really
popular but weird things that people are
familiar with and then writing jokes
about them you know like comedy and yeah
it's comedy that someone else's expense
but usually it's someone with a bigger
platform or at the very least he's like
talking about their actions and telling
his audience not to like go bully them
specifically
this is comedy sometimes have unintended
circumstances yeah does he step over the
line sometimes sure but like everything
I've seen from the guy is that he makes
an earnest attempt to remedy those
situations and learn from his mistakes
it's clear to me that Cody is aware of
his influence and tries to be
responsible for it an influence that
Jake Paul seems to kind of deny the
existence of like this is the guy who
had to have Shane Dawson explain to him
how his advertising practices could be
manipulative to children just like I've
been doing that shit my whole life so
like for people trying to say like I'm
just doing it to manipulate and try to
make money off of kids like sure and he
just calls it bullshit
I'm not youtube's hero Oh
we know I'm not here to like save the
day and and like you know do like all
this stuff literally no one thinks of
you as YouTube's hero but that probably
crossed your mind which is why why
you're mentioning it and it really
speaks to it just speaks to how
disillusioned his perspective is with
reality like you can just tell how how
morally in the right he feels in this
video so then Jake calls Kody a bully
this guy Cody Co is a bully he's a cyber
bully oh and you know all that cyber
bullying and negativity that's happening
on the Internet
yeah it's Cody cows fault apparently so
problem solved 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 so this is the
reason I'm making the video
Jake is conflating criticism which is
largely what's happening to him with
bullying and one those are two
completely different things and two I
think it's a really harmful message
bullying is seeking to harm someone
who is perceived as vulnerable thanks
google it could be shaming someone for
the way that they look or you know
pulling a bunch of pranks and practical
jokes on them but the most important
ingredient is that they're vulnerable
the person that you're bullying has to
be vulnerable for it to be considered
bullying and Jake Paul is not vulnerable
he's a lot of money and power and
influence and that means that making fun
of Jake Paul is not the same thing as
making fun of a random person on the
street you could go to the extreme and
say that it's impossible to bully Jake
Paul but I wouldn't go that far because
he's a human with feelings but it's just
much different like I sometimes get
comments on my video about five-minute
crafts mostly from children telling me
that I'm a hater or a bully and I'm
being so mean to someone who's just
trying their best to make crafts and if
that were true I would be a bully
but instead it's a production company
with tens if not hundreds of employees
and the third most subscribed channel on
YouTube they
can't be bullied but this this concept
of a power dynamic seems to be
completely lost in Jake's argument Oh in
criticism by the way is the expression
of disapproval of someone or some thing
based on perceived faults or mistakes
thanks google you've done it again in
comedy there's this concept of punching
down which is when the butt of the joke
is someone with like less power or
status and that's bad and should be
avoided but as someone who watches
Cody's videos it's clear that he's never
trying to punch down Jake on the other
hand say Donald Trump I don't know and
maybe not support these types of people
who are literally causing the youth to
be like negative and and have like a lot
of animosity in their souls so this is a
little holier than now if any negative
criticism of Jake Paul is cyber bullying
then how could he ever be held
accountable for anything we actually
have to criticize those in power
otherwise that power goes unchecked and
can be abused to hurt others it kind of
messes me up that he doesn't see that
but then again this is a guy that made a
diss track on the concept of teachers
what's the answer
Jake Paul why don't you tell us some
shit that we're actually gonna use and I
realize we should be holding Jake and
Cody and all creators on this platform
accountable for their actions
except me come on don't be a cyber bully
like I said I don't like making these
videos and like to me it's kind of like
I just fucking just like doing shit just
like talk shit about each other
I actually think Jake has a good point
here there's a bunch of random and
unnecessary drama and talking shit like
for example several diss tracks
promoting a false beef between two
brothers or again several diss tracks
promoting promoting a fight between some
youtubers like totally unnecessary stuff
but that's different to me at least then
making a video calling out Jake Paul for
promoting those gambling mystery boxes
to kids
Jake Paul's evidence of why Cody is bad
is it's just really tame Logan
I watched that one he's dressed up as a
minion I don't know who made that call
who signed off on that who was like yet
dude for your first single ever for the
video you should definitely dress up as
the thing that everybody in America
hates most I I can't imagine like being
a human and having this much hatred
inside I didn't edit that he earnestly
used a clip of Cody poking fun at Logan
Paul's minion costume as an example of
why eat has hate in his heart if someone
was watching this video and it was about
them and they didn't have tough skin
that could seriously affect them I mean
this is what it's all about isn't it so
Cody's doing this interview show with
this guy named Jeff that has like
surprises and gags and stuff in it and
the big surprise at the end is that Jake
Paul is is waiting to confront him but
it's immediately clear that no one
including Jeff expected Jake to come in
so hot so he asks him to do his intro
again what kids indeed cuz when Cody
asks for the names of the people that
Jake Paul is talking about he says he
doesn't want to give that information so
like what are they supposed to discuss
there's kids out there like I haven't
met girls who you've like into like gone
in on Cody clearly wanted to remedy the
situation this is just so weird I'd also
like to point out the hypocrisy of
calling someone a bully while you
surround him in a room with cameras and
people meant to intimidate him and then
Cody kind of sarcastically apologizes
okay and you said sorry that's good yeah
I'm sorry for bullying you and then
everything's fine and they just talked
about how funny Cody is yeah you're
hilarious bro like you're late that's
not what anyone's the baby but in the
aftermath of the confrontation it's
clear that we've made no progress he can
be a little bit more thoughtful and I
can be maybe a little bit more
understanding it like comedian he was
just meant of deflecting the whole time
he really wasn't deflecting at all Jake
just kept saying the same thing over and
over without giving any more information
so it's kind of hard to dig deep I
really hope this is some big joke but
Jay Paul's tweets after the fact like do
not help this generation we live in is
dis questing with a cue from the beauty
community drama this week two people
taking a serious message about cyber
bullying and turning it into a joke
because Jake Paul said it where's the
good where's the fun where's the love
too many negative souls we're not making
fun of this good message because Jake
Paul said it we're making fun of it
because it was a really bad argument
like I don't deny that the message came
from a good place it's just that like
the example of it he gave was not a good
one I can empathize with the fact that
it's hard to suddenly come into an
audience and have every one of your
actions criticized but it kind of comes
with the territory and and Jake Paul
like leans into that attention for sure
I mean he's been at this for years so he
has to know that you just kind of have
to roll with the punches and not try to
tear down or cancel anybody who
criticizes you that's all
I wanted to say about that I hope it's
not completely out of pocket for me to
talk about this this drama that isn't
mine but I've tweeted about this
yesterday and I got included in the
Twitter moment and so a ton of people
who were Jay Paul's fans saw my tweet
and so I just got like all these
responses from his fans and I just like
couldn't get over how you know
completely missing the point so many
people were all right I got to get back
to work on this High School Musical
video so yeah holy
knock it off racism knock it off
bigotry knock it off crime knock it off
robbing banks knock it off
not saying thanks knock it off
