Hi guys! You're on Anna Malyshkina's channel
I think you know exactly what we're going to talk about in this video
The topic is actually not the easiest for me,
because the news that Jenna decided to leave her Youtube channel
temporarily or permanently really freaked me out
First I’d like to answer the question why Jenna decided to leave YouTube
After searching for a while on social media, Twitter, the comments under her video
and the translated last video, where she announces her departure
I realized that a lot of people believe that Jenna left because she was harassed and bullied in the Cancel Culture community
In the beginning I had the same thought,
and actually these two days I really fought the temptation to just shoot a riled up video where I will say that
"Look, Cancel Culture is completely fucked up, how dare they touch a person like Jenna” and so on
But then, after rethinking what had happened, reading more about what people think about it,
and rewatching her video where she speaks directly to her viewers,
I realized that the decision to leave was not really due to bullying or harassing.
For those who are living under a rock, Jenna Marbles has 20 million subscribers on her main channel,
she has been on YouTube for more than 10 years,
we have a Comedy Store channel in the Russian segment,
where translations of her videos have been released every Wednesday for many years.
ll this situation had happened because the American community Cancel Culture,
which, as I understand it, is engaged in finding some flaws in all sorts of celebrities,
and for these flaws they are severely slammed and bullied.
They attacked Jenna for several videos she posted back in 2011-2012 which had a racial subtext.
The first video was her parody of Nicki Minaj with a tan on her face.
She was accused of making blackface.
She also has a video with Asian parody singing something about " ting-tong”,
thereby insulting Asians.
In 2012 there was a video where Jenna ranted about girls who engage in multiple sexual relationships. For this she was accused of slutshamming.
Because of these videos, Jenna was attacked and condemned for racism by this community and American media sources.
For videos that are almost 10 years old, right?
Then Jenna hid a lot of her old content. She makes videos in a humorous way and all her old content mostly consists of some parodies, jokes, gags.
After all this, she also posted a video on her channel called A Massage,
where she apologized for 10 minutes, for the fact that she could have offended someone back then or now.
She cried, said that she felt a great responsibility for all this
and announced that she wanted to leave this YouTube channel forever or for a while, because creating videos on this channel no longer brings her joy.
For some reason, especially in Russia (because we are probably a little limited in getting information from abroad) everyone,
including on Twitter, believes that Jenna was harassed and thus released this video where she justified herself
and hid in a corner like I don't want everyone to touch me.
In fact, if you listen to her translated video,
you can understand that this is absolutely false.
That Jenna simply realized her responsibility to the people,
the responsibility that she has and has always been aware of.
She says her old videos were there only to show her personal growth which is true.
We also have a lot of Russian bloggers who keep their old content,
which is more than 5-6 years old, so that you as a subscriber go to the channel and see
how this person started and what he/she has achieved now.
This shows his growth as a YouTube blogger.
Because her content was mainly associated with humour and parody,
with all the things happening nowadays and taking into
account the movement Black Lives Matter, of course the situation in the US is really tense and it is clear that the easiest thing to do is to pick on her content.
Now because of many things going on there beyond the boundaries of adequacy,
I think that Jenna hid all the content that could offend anyone to get off easy,
just for the sake of her own safety and the safety of her psyche.
If I were her, I would also think:
"Damn, I was fucked up for the videos of 2011,
now they will start reviewing my videos of 2-3 years ago
and accuse me of something else."
Because if they pick on you as a public person, they will pick on you from all sides if they want to.
I think that for her personal safety, for the safety of her emotional state,
she just hid it all.
And because she had to hide it
and hide her content from a lot of people,
I guess that's why she got an increasingly emotional shock from it.
So it became difficult for her to do something for the channel,
which is what she says at the end.
Really, what joy can you get from the fact that,
whatever you publish, even if it is a video of dogs or baking a cake, nowadays you can be accused of something.
Therefore, it is much easier to hide everything,
wait a little and let all this pass, and then continue on this channel or on a new one,
with new awareness or with a new theme,
because it is really hard to keep the same content for 10 years.
Also, let's not forget that every person has a level of moral stability.
There are people who will hate and they will not care about this hate,
they will still go on doing what they do and will never justify themselves or apologize for anything. They'll just keep going.
For example, on Russian YouTube,  we have bloggers who can safely express their opinion,
get a ton of hate for it but will not suffer much from this.
And there are other people who project everything on themselves
and it can shake their emotional state.
I found a tweet saying that back in February,
Jenna was attacked for mistreating her dogs,
and all the videos she shoots with them make her animals suffer.
Although we all know that Jenna never tries to hurt her animals.
She was affected by all this situation,
then perhaps a number of other situations that can gradually attack her morally
as an emotional person, a person who is
sensitive to his audience and to the content.
And I think that the situation with the accusations was the final point
of her patience, after which she realized that she could not
continue like this and needed a break.
I think it's a conscious adult decision when you decide to stop
and do nothing, and just let it all settle down.
I hope that Jenna rests, replenishes her mental strength,
emotionally relaxes from all the pressure that has fallen on her,
returns to the fight and continues to make videos.
Everything now depends more on external factors.
For instance, if we were forbidden to make harsh jokes,
imagine what would happen to all comedians in our country?
If we were banned from posting videos cooking meat,
because the vegetarian movement has attacked the country so much,
what would happen to all people who are engaged in cooking or posting videos about it?
These are quite funny examples that came out immediately.
I mean, these people would be trapped into certain circumstances where
would have to stop and rethink what they are doing.
Jenna is a blogger I've been watching for 10 years,
10 years KARL!
And she is my main source of inspiration.
The person who pushes me to do so many things on YouTube,
pushes me to make funny and entertaining content.
I think if it wasn't for Jenna and for her crazy, funny videos where she experiments with
her hair, makes up, does strange things,
I think there wouldn’t be me - such a confident person,
confident that I’m doing it for fun and don't care about anyone's opinion.
Every time I make a funny video,
I might encounter a small barrier in the form of my self-esteem,
which says -
maybe it’s not worth it?
they'll think you're a fool.
And in this moment of collision, I always have a thought in my head
Jenna did it because she wasn't scared and doesn’t fear to be herself
so you don't have to be afraid either.
With this motto, I make a lot of my videos and many actions in my life,
so she's kind of a spiritual mentor for me at a distance.
That means a lot to me.
I respect her decision to suspend her activities and reboot,
I believe she won’t leave, but if she does,
it will be extremely sad, so anyway I will hope for the best.
In conclusion, I’d like to say I hope that this video contains English subtitles
and can be viewed by Jenna herself,
and I will be able to tell you all that in person…
 
 
This is my love for you - from Aries to Virgo.
Guys, thank you for watching,
I hope that I explained the position of Jenna a little bit to you,
please write a comment what you think and how you feel about this situation.
Be yourself, stay natural!
I wish you all the best!
Bye!
