Anyway, okay, moving on, um, we're gonna be talking about bravery, because the story, the- the episode that we talked about was bravery.
Alright? Bravery.
Okay, another episode of, um, this topic is gonna be something very recent that happened, okay?
Something very recent. Now, I want you guys to be really fucking quiet about this one, okay?
Really fucking quiet.
Really fun. Maybe I should have increased since this was this happened like really fucking recent. Maybe I should have like
Maybe I should have like increased the the let the tear story of this one
So I'm just gonna rely on you guys to like just zip it. Okay, just
Be fucking quiet about it. I mean, you know, I shouldn't be brave about this to begin with anyway
So anyway, you guys know I'm a guy right you guys do know that I am a guy
right, I'm a dude and
And I am a male, right?
Right? I'm a dude.
Uh-huh. Yes, I am a dude.
So, um, apparently, I am being called brave by a lot of people on the internet.
Could be anywhere.
They have been labeling me as someone who's brave by interacting with my senpais.
And that is apparently a taboo thing that I shouldn't be doing like why should I?
Why should I be called brave for that like tell me why why am I why am I being called brave because of that?
Tell me good. Can you guys give me an explanation? Why I am called brave
Why should I be brave for something that shouldn't be?
Shouldn't be illegal in the first place right like is it wrong is it wrong to be you know just
Saying hi to a co-worker
Well because of idol culture yes, it is yes, but the thing is I work
With them I work with them
It's not like I'm going on a date with them, right?
Right, why am I considered brave for that?
Have you ever not taught have you ever talked to someone of the opposite sex of or something?
Do you not have, like, actual friends to, you know, have these sorts of interactions before?
Have you ever interacted with a human being before?
If you talk to someone who works with you, do you automatically assume them to be already, um, dating?
No, right? No. No.
Apparently it is- it is, um, it is a massive red flag to be interacting with, um, with my senpais, apparently.
Parasocialism, I know, I get it, but why, why should it be brave to begin with?
Why should I be brave?
Why should I be afraid?
Is, is there something that I should be afraid of to begin with?
No, I'm not afraid.
I am not.
I am not afraid of interacting with the people that I work with.
They're like calling me, oh my god, um, Gerard is so brave for doing this.
Oh my god, Gerard is brave for doing that.
But I am, honestly, just baffled by the fact that people are, like, afraid for me.
Like, why should you be afraid for me, and why should you be afraid in general, just to be talking to these individuals?
I mean, I do get that, um, some people do have preferences.
Like, it depends on the talent themselves.
Whether they want or not want to talk, okay?
That's fine. That's fine with me.
I- I only interact with them by- by greeting them a happy birthday, and apparently that triggered, like, a lot of people.
You know, talking shouldn't be illegal. Yeah.
Like, I only greeted them, like, a happy birthday, and I'm getting, like, a lot of hate for it, and a lot of, like,
um, bravery comments as well. Like, I do get the hate part, I do, but, um,
I do get the hate, and I do get the bravery part, but it's just so baffling for me to not, like, um,
Like, uh, understand. Because people are weird.
I mean, yes, I do. I do- I knew- Yes, people are weird.
But, these types of interactions shouldn't be, um, illegal in the first place. It shouldn't be.
Like, for example, like, you happen to, like, um, pass by someone who's, like, um, who's, like, just working with you.
Like, hey, you did a nice job, you did a- did great, it's just a thumbs up, I hope you're doing great!
And everyone just automatically assumes. Oh my god, this guy this guy. Oh my god. He has a bad intentions like no
I just literally said
Good job. Good day, and I love working here. I literally do love working here
I just I just am happy to be here and just just just having to
It's sort of entertaining and also sad at the same time seeing all these reactions
Like, uh, like, I know, I know these things exist.
It's just so entertaining for me.
Like, um, they're actively trying to shut me down.
And they're actively also trying to, like, uh, you know, um, you know, um, defend me for that.
It's like, it's so funny seeing all these things, like, um, fall into my lap.
Like, oh my god, what is happening?
I would just usually, um, check on my Twitter.
Like, um, like, I just scroll down for a bit, and oh my god, I can't believe...
Can't I can't believe this is yeah, I love tea. I really do love tea online drama is where I'm at
You know because these are the same people that's like trying to tell me that um you know they're these these haters or like these
individuals that are haters of mine are like telling me that um
Tell me that you know we don't want to give you attention or something like that, but you're actively doing the same thing
You're giving me statistics
It's so funny. It's so funny. They're also having they're also having like a laughing fit about it
but also me too, you know and but the difference thing the difference about this thing is um I
Have something to gain here and you don't
I'll be as close to them as I'll ever be compared to you
You will never know you will never know I guess that's like in a way like um, I guess in a sense like um
they will never be as close to them as much as I have it's just so funny
everyone's trying to defend them and everything but they will never know they
will never know it will just live rent-free in their minds I think I'm
like this sort of like individual that's like plaguing their minds
probably because I'm making these sort of actions I'm I'm doing these sort of
like waves in that shouldn't be done that's like a probably a taboo
that I... that I shouldn't be doing, but it's not a taboo, okay?
Saying happy birthday, saying, like, um, greeting and being friendly to your co-workers is not a taboo.
Okay, that's literally the bad thing for you is to actually just ignore these achievements
done by these talents, and I love them for that.
I respect and love these talents, and that's why I'm actively supporting them.
Your opinion does not matter to me.
What matters is... I work here.
And you don't.
Hahahaha
And I get to do whatever I want.
I have the privilege
of doing whatever the fuck I want.
And I have the privilege of
interacting with them, and
you, you know, you're just there.
A bystander. Looking at all of this.
Crying, seething, and coping.
Hahahaha
But I shouldn't be called brave for that to begin with.
Like, it's just so sad
seeing, like, um,
Like, um, just- just this, the entirety of it, just being, like, honestly sad.
I mean, I do understand that idol culture exists and everything. People get attacked because of, like, interactions, some of these
controversies also happen because of these, but I do- I sure do hope that you also understand that there's also
normal human relationships that involve in this.
Also normal human relationships. They are not gods. I mean, they are treated as, like, um, really great sophisticated talents.
It's like, beyond comprehension, but they're also human, too.
They also feel the same pain. Have you even watched their streams?
If you really are a fan of them,
I really do hope that you watch their streams to also empathize that they also feel the same feelings that you do.
They are not.
They are NOT
the people that you think they are.
They are human beings, and they are not
warped
into something that you want them to be.
They can be whatever they want me they want them to be and I choose to be nice to them
Because I respect them as individuals and as my beloved co-workers
Clip this and put it on now. I'm not gonna put that no clipping no clipping no clipping. There's a memberships
Oh my god, but I guess if it's like inevitable that you know some of these
Interactions that I do in memberships will be clipped and you know posted in in some certain websites
You know, I don't really care. I don't really care that much, because, um, that's what it'll ever do.
They won't be able to do anything, against me, or anyone.
Because that's only the limit of what they can do.
It's just- it's just like a bunch of losers.
That's it. Just a bunch of losers. No changing whatsoever.
They can just cry, seethe, and do whatever they want on the internet, but they will never touch me.
Never.
Never.
Never.
Ever.
It's not even worth my attention to like, um, you know, it- just, it's not even worth the attention.
I- I may be saying this now, but you know, it's just- it's just something that I have to say, because, you know, it's just so funny to, like, um, think about.
Because, um, you know, like, I- there's like, recent birthdays, right? I've been greeting people like, happy birthdays, and it's just like, uh, should I tell this on, like, uh, memberships?
It's just so funny.
I'll repeat it just in case that's why I love holo
I hate the whole fakery going on around idols and holos take idols and make them feel actual humans which hey
Hey, but I'm not condoning like forced interactions. Okay. I'm I'm not condoning forced interactions
For example like um oh my god Gerard said this to you
Do you want them to know don't do that don't do that talents will do whatever they want
They will do it themselves if they do an interaction sure fine if they do it themselves then let him do it
But I am not, I'm not, I'm not forcing anyone to make any sort of, like, um, begging, collab, begging, whatever.
We are not in it for that. That is literally cancerous, that is toxic behavior.
Like, I know you should collab with this guy, collab with that guy, no.
No, you are not, you are not a true fan, if you actually say that.
You are not a true fan if you actually force people to collab with one another if they have never interacted once,
Nor they talked about this person that's just basically just you know causing trouble for the town's themselves because you know again
Towns have their own preferences. They get to choose who they want to talk to I mean I get it like some towns
Do want to just talk to?
Like certain towns, and that's it. I do get it. I do I understand that that is perfectly normal
And that is what they are in it for I totally understand
But it's just you know I try my best to like you know
interact with the people that I you know just um you know just saying happy birthday is that isn't is that is that like
Very hard they they can choose not to interact with me or not
I just said it out there because I I feel very happy for them. I feel very proud for them
I just said it there. I am NOT forcing any kind of like interaction. I am NOT doing anything
I just want to say it in the most obvious way possible. Just I hope you're doing good. That's it
That's it and everyone somehow like takes it the wrong way
I just want them to have fun, okay?
Don't be beggars, don't be beggars.
Do not, do not, do not lean into those types of things.
Sorority, you know better.
Do not lean into, like, um, begging, or any, like, um...
Anything, anything at all that's, like, uh, you know, damaging the- the image of, um, yourself,
the- the community with you,
or, like, um, you know, um, the talents themselves. Don't. Don't.
They didn't say it themselves, because, um, you know,
Yeah, I'm not the one who's mostly talking behind the scenes. It's the fans who are talking behind the scenes
So I think it would be very good if our community is healthy and away from that toxicity, please
Thank you. But yeah, that's just basically about it about bravery. I don't even know where it came from
I think um, I think it just kind of got out of nowhere like um, like when I was like doing stream
Like okay put this on bravery memberships
Yeah, let's be responsible. Yeah, let's just be responsible.
It's a happy birthday to-
I'm flirting. I mean, oh, so that's how you see it. You see me as a threat.
I mean, I'm flattered by the way that you think that I may have a chance against these godly beings.
I mean, thank you. Thank you very much for actually thinking about that. Like, um, me?
Uh, uh, uh, a guy who's just, who just started out apparently probably has a chance.
Hahaha, oh you think so? Aww, thank you!
Thank, yeah, godly bees!
Yeah, they're, they're awesome. They're super awesome. They're more of an idol than me.
Insane Riz. My, my Riz is that insane. I think they've seen like, I think some of the talents here have seen my debut,
and my debut is like, um, like pretty much, uh, like, uh, crazy.
And I think they've steered clear from that. My debut, my personality,
I think they've seen my streams or clips, you know. Probably some of them, and you know, yeah, let's not talk to him.
I would get that. I would completely get that.
It's totally fine. No, no. I totally get there. I totally get that, but no. No, no collab begging. No
interaction begging or whatever.
Talents do whatever they want to do. It's their choice,
their brand, their image, their community, whatever.
But hey, I'm not the one suffering from it, okay?
I'm not suffering.
It's them who's suffering.
For some ungodly reason, I'm- I'm- I am like, um, this-
this very painful, um, thorn on their side.
Like, I said, Happy Birthday-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOO
AHHHHHHHH
He's talking, he's talking
Oh sorry
Sorry, sorry, sorry
That's literally just them
I don't get it, I don't get it
I'm just trying to be nice
It's over
It's over
Oh my god, my six month badge, arigatou gozaimasu
I will always support you
I will always respect you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, arigato gozaimasu, arigato gozaimasu. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Like I don't get it. I don't get it
I guess it's like I mean I do understand you know because I've had my Oshis
You know I feel a little bit jealous sometimes like oh no my my Oshi my Oshi is like
Oh, you know having more time to do this one. No, no, I'd get it, but you know it's like it's sad
It's it's it's a normal understanding feeling like oh no
No, it's but you know you shouldn't be flaming and like you know threatening people
Because of that, like, eww, eww, eww, gross behavior, hahaha, cringe, honestly, talk to people, my goodness.
Get out of that fucking house, get some sunlight, get some help, but I am, like, legitimately very, you know, concerned about these individuals.
I do hope that, um, they get some- they get something nice in life.
Because it can't just be, like, all hate and sadness and, like, and just seething and coping and stuff like that.
I just- I just really hope that- that you know, something nice happens to them, so that they could actually, you know, live life normally without being so, um, I don't know, much of a pain in the ass, for- for a lot of people.
You know, everyone's just trying to be nice and happy, and then, um, these people are like, yee, yee, yee, gross, gross.
I'm back home, didn't think I forgot about you, and Rue's disrespecting my grave.
Hey, Riku! Hi, welcome to the stream. Hi. Hey, I'm gonna- I'm gonna fix the grave sooner or later
I'm gonna put some bones in there. I'm gonna put something in there, but you know, um, yeah
I will return to that. I will return to that. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about Riku
I will- I will fix the graves sooner or later in Minecraft
But yeah, it's just those interactions that I've seen on Twitter is just so entertaining for me
That's just like my drama. Sometimes I even bookmark them like just to see like, okay
So how far are these guys like fighting like it's just like?
Okay, okay. Oh wow. Wow. It's just so interesting. It's just so interesting you think that I'm like beyond that
No, Gerard is like above that. Well. Yes. I shouldn't actually be giving these things attention, but hey, it's free tea
It's free tea so your book. Yeah
Yeah, the book the bookmark is there you know might as well is the tea let me see let me see
Let me see how far how bad the interaction is. Oh god. Oh god. It's and hey, it's entertainment
So yeah, yeah, I can't like I can't like put a blind eye also to it
You know, I also have to be media aware of it. Did you guys know by the way that I can't be all ignorant
Did you guys know that? Yeah, I have to also do my homework on certain things like um, what's right?
What's not and what's sensitive to say and like public streams? Yeah, that's a thing. That's a thing
I have to be media aware media awareness is a thing in in studying
Communications I used to study communications so being aware of like the media around you will actually get you to the results
Of where you are so this is a type of thing that's called
Hate marketing
Like a bunch of a bunch of a bunch of my names my name trends a lot
But not in a good way for some reason like my name is just there, but in in wrong ways
You know no no no no why is he?
But it's a you know you're also contributing to my growth. Did you know that you know that yeah?
It's part of that I mean you know not all not all like a bad things are good for marketing, but you know
I haven't done a single bad thing at all like what the fuck did I even do I didn't even do anything
You guys are making it look like that. I'm like I'm a bad person. I haven't even done anything
I guess you're the ones like
Making it look like bad, but I'm not like when people like see my my my drama
I guess like quote-unquote drama. They would like so um
What's what's bad about it, and they're like no it's bad because because these guys are so these guys are normal then
He's got a normal, and they would check me out and then boom more supporters there
We go see see that's how it works no matter how many times you hate me
You can never put me down because you guys are made up to be
You guys are just gonna look like fucking losers.
Hahahaha
You would just, huh, huh, oh, oh
So, we're the bad guys?
We're, we're, we're the bad guys here?
Oh yeah, almost forgot, adopt me.
No, I am not gonna adopt you.
Yeah, yeah.
We're clowns just like, yeah.
Hahahaha
I haven't done a bad thing yet.
Like, what else? I haven't done a bad thing, right?
Right?
I haven't done like a single bad thing that got me trending like all all I did was just like um be nice be happy
And whatever I mean I may have said some dumb things the period thing
faith animal crossing
Discrimination okay, okay enough enough enough
Enough and enough
But yeah, okay enough and all that okay, so that was nice. That was a nice conversation
The period thing
segregation
Yeah, yeah, I was a
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's membership. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can let loose in memberships
But you know sometimes like memberships membership content gets like leaked anyway, so I don't really mind
I mean as long as they know that it's membership content
I get to talk about this I get to because if it's like
Purposely on public then I would actually riling people up no no it's a good place to actually vent out some stuff
You know because I can't just be all happy-go-lucky and just uh, you know, just ha ha ha. I'm a pretty fun guy
No, no
I I also have like since majority of my time is also like a streaming like most of my schedules are like free
Right, but like a mostly like a full right so I really don't have the time to reflect on things
So having memberships being able to openly talk about these things in
is a good thing because you know you guys are sponges and get to
You know somewhat feel the things that I have been feeling throughout
And I have never once worried about like you know like the the negativity that's like surrounding me
I have never felt that whatsoever. I am a ball of positivity because I love my job
I love it to death. I love it
Like I am born to be an entertainer
I am born to be here. Like the reason why I'm here is because of the actions that I have made and because of my own
sheer will, dedication, and
volition. I am here, and I definitely knew what I was getting myself into.
I know what I am getting myself into and I know
what I am going to do to actually make this fun for me. And that is just being a Hall of Stars.
I will just do whatever I can to make this journey very very fun while we're also reaching for the top
This is honestly very fun. This is like a very um anime adventure thing. You know throughout any adversity that's thrown against me
I'm just there
Fighting through it
You're feeding me my fantasy
This is like this is like next level
This is like next level like instead of being a fucking loser
I actually make a change for it myself
Redemption arcs, you know that jock that jock story. Yes
Jock story the the the enabler
Bystander effect
Of
College high school era. Yeah, that was me character development is real and now I am here
actually influencing people to do actual good things and
Me also achieving some of my dreams
That is nice.
I can't help but feel like I am the main character of this world.
These villains are just
trying so hard, but they will never ever reach me.
They will never do, and they will never catch my attention no matter how many times they try.
I will only be the one. I will only be an observer of said drama,
but I will never give them attention that they want. I mean, I guess this is like the attention, you know,
But, you know, it's a give-and-take scenario.
If this ever gets out,
it's a give-and-take, you and me.
Might as well work together, right?
You spread my name,
I spread the heinous acts,
and you do the same thing by hating on me.
It's just the same thing.
C-come on.
Aren't you not tired of it?
Are you not tired of,
like, my growth?
If you really are,
if you really are, like,
resentful of me,
I would just-
I just suggest you just leave me alone.
But you would never do that,
Because your pride is too high, and you would just spread more hate, and that would even increase my- my statistics, right?
Do it, please.
At least do a better job at hating me, come on.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Give me more.
I don't care.
Yeah.
Chunie. Chunie behavior.
I mean, you know, that would even piss him off even more.
Oh my god, this Chunie. Fuck.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Then do it! Do it!
SAY IT!
SPREAD MY NAME!
Oh. Sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
Anyway, let's continue the story.
My pizza is fucking cold. Wait. Let me drink water
Free marketing is real. Yeah, it's it's just like what it's just they don't get it. They don't get it at all
They don't get it their their pea-sized brains could never understand like leaving me alone is the best option, but they just never do
It always just does
My goodness the kitten one the kitten one was the catalyst of it all you remember that tweet that I made before
Debuting that tweet that I did to ironmouse that was like that was like ultimate marketing material to be honest
Ultimate marketing material it was it honestly started off as a joke because I know ironmouse is like a famous streamer
And she can take a lot of blows in like in terms of like jokes
But you know
Hey, hey
People don't understand
people talk
People spread word and look at me
Hahaha
That one guy instant 16 yeah, it does yeah, it did it did they can't I mean it's just kitten
Pookie pookie I thought you wouldn't hurt them no
You hate us honey guys are
Drawing for David great advertisement. I mean yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but hey, but hey, it's I it was just a joke
You know it was just a joke
It was just a- it was- it all honestly started off as a joke.
It wasn't like a complete like marketing material,
because you know, everyone's like, um,
everyone's like probably simping over me during that time,
and I thought, you know what would be really funny?
If I say the most outlandish shit ever,
and you know, people are like,
UGH!
HAHAHAHA!
And then look what happened!
HAHAHAHAHA!
Tabloid news everywhere!
HAHAHAHAHA!
Tabloid news everywhere!
And uh, that was nice, that was nice.
And uh, yeah.
Yeah, that was nice and everyone like thought okay, okay, he's he's cringe and based at the same time
You know people would relate to me. That's nice
Strats yeah, you took a calculator and it all happened to be getting good fun
Yeah, I I it was just for fun, and then I never knew that it could be like a a marketing thing
Yeah, and I was kind of a little bit bonked over that because of my um because you know um
Kamani at that time was like, um, hey, uh, Gerard? Dino boy?
I-I know that you're pretty excited, but I don't want you to, like, um, I don't want you, like, over, you know, just
Go overboard into things that you say online. Yeah, too co- Yeah, I was too controversial
