I am sure you didn't mean any of that, Carrie. And I do agree with you, anyone should feel entitled to say "no" in certain situations.

My main problem right now is that since the beginning of this whole "sexual abuse" scandal on youtube, I haven't seen you siding with the victims even for one second. This situation must be really hard for you and believe me, I feel really relly sorry for all the crap that you've been going through. This is a very sad situation.

Now, if you focus on how someone should act to make 100% clear that they're uncomfortable with something then great! Everyone should know that it's their irrevocable right to do so. Always and in any situation or relationship.

But when you're asked what to do when you're in an abusive relationship, and you say that "you must have the self-respect to say no"... I see how hurtful and problematic that is. I firmly believe that you have a lot to learn about this topic. It's just not that simple.

And I also firmly believe that no one is just trying to pick a fight with you.

People have been hurt, and if they feel the right to speak up against something you said, it's not personal. Evidently it's necessary. And anyway, it's for a good cause. 

I’d like to make it clear that when I said in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg6166asgx0 it’s about finding the confidence and having the self-esteem and self-respect to say no, I in no way meant to imply that it is a victims fault for not saying no. If you have been abused it is your abusers fault for abusing you. Everything said in the video was meant for those in relationships who have the potential to be in a bad situation or have the potential to be abused.

I want to make sure that any young girls/guys watching my videos, know that they are worth so much more than the way some arse may one day treat you. If you are put under pressure or someone is trying to force you to do something you don’t want to do, you are worth so much more then you’re being made to feel. I want you to love and respect yourselves and in situations like that put yourselves first and say NO, I do NOT want to do this. 

That video was not aimed at victims of abuse and of course, anyone who has been a victim of abuse, it is not their fault that the’ve been abused. It’s the arse who abused them’s fault, clearly. But what I want to try and encourage is A. For everyone to make their partners feel loved, considered and safe and B. For everyone to say a clear and firm NO to anything they don’t want to do, regardless of how the other person is making them feel because it’s SO important that you speak out and say no before it’s too late. Your body language may be speaking for you but to be 100% explicit, speak out. Don’t leave room for interpretation. BEFORE you even have the chance to become a victim.

I rest my case.

I'm done going through the tags to find out more about what is happening within the youtube community and within the fanbase, because the amount of victim blaming I'm seeing is astounding. 

As someone who has seen what the results of unhealthy and emotionally abusive relationships are, I know for sure where I stand.

I'll let everyone have their opinion though.

About the mediatic silence surrounding the latest events

I'm side-eyeing all the vloggers who have decided not to face/address the problem. It's almost been a week and this whole thing is dying out. While people like me check the tags daily to find out if some kind of measure has been taken, there are so many people who have no idea what is happening. And that is not fair for them.

Why are they protecting the abusers' identities so that only people who already know about the scandal can know?

I'm waiting for John Green's response to Hank's video with NAMES and a clear warning for the young viewers to be more suspicious about their idols. If that doesn't happen, I'll personally unleash hell.

Alex Day still has over 1million subscribers.

About Public Apology.

When someone apologizes after getting caught, after all evidence is stacked against them, that is not necessarily a sign of remorse or an attempt at redemption. It is honestly, first and foremost, the only decision that can be made by anyone with a shred of self-preservation and critical thinking. When you have numerous people giving detailed and backed up stories that fall into a pattern and millions of eyes are on you, you say sorry. When your finances depend on the regard that your audience holds you in, you say sorry. And when that apology is filled with “but” and other padding to make the situation seem less valid or of your own fault than it is, it is invalidating the words of all those who came forward. It is a way to gain favor in a time you should not be asking for it. This is not something that happened once, to one person (which is still not okay and I’m not intending to downplay that). This involved many girls over a period of many years. And many false I’m sorry’s followed by repetition of the same behavior. Then a mass amount of people find out and I am expected to believe the sincerity and assume change is inevitable? 

Forgive me if I’m skeptical. But then again, I’m not the one apologizing.

To the fans who still want to support Alex and Tom's work because they think that their actions have nothing to do with their work:

there are people who were abused and manipulated who were fans. If you are supporting their work means that you are giving them the chance to go to gatherings, meet people, and generally use their power, fame and privilege, for this type of manipulative and abusive behaviour.

Be careful what you do with your choices. They do, in fact, affect people's lives.

People have children, then they brag about it for their own happiness and I believe that to be extremely selfish

xabiyoko replied to your post: So yeah Back to Italy It felt weird at the...

You’ll always have that feeling of missing out on something, you’ll always think “what if”, even if you stay home. You have to do what you think its right and follow your heart’s desire, follow your dreams, ‘cause you only get one live to do it :D

I know :( maybe I should try to live somewhere nearer, where I can still see them more often? Or yeah, just earn shitloads of money so that I can go visit every now and then... sigh idk
