Um . . . Recently I’ve come under fire for
Tweets that I’ve made regarding another YouTuber, and I just wanted to go on camera
today and say um . . . I’m not taking any of them back. People are mad at me online, so it’s time
to make some money. I’ve got my hoodie, the more dramatic camera
angle, my notes on my phone; I think we’re ready to do this. Here’s a couple of pointers: this entire
thing happened in less than a week, and it also took place entirely on my Twitter and
my community tab. So this wasn’t some sort of private beef
where it’s he said/she said. We said everything publicly, and it’s still
there. I’m only going to talk about the parts I
care about, but the YouTuber Bowblax made a video about it where he screenshotted almost
everything that was said, so you can watch that if you want to see the entire thing and
how everyone reacted. It’s no secret. I'm also going to be stealing his screenshots
for this video because that makes my job a lot easier. This entire thing took place in 3 rounds,
so here they are. This video popped up in my YouTube recommended,
called “YouTube Sponsors”. It’s from the YouTuber Turkey Tom, and I
clicked into it because it was there, and I was bored. The video was mostly about YouTube sponsors. But I noticed some weird stuff in there. Hello, and shalom my brothers—Being a merchant,
an accumulator of wealth to hide away from my fellow man and look down upon the writhing
masses in shame. Is making money fun for me? I mean maybe a little, but it’s more fun
to burn bridges with any chance of future success than I would have. The weird Jewish stereotyping was completely
out of left field. “Shalom. I’m a Jew. I like money. I’m collect wealth. Ben Shapiro. Money!” And the thing is, Tom is completely aware
of how he came across, because he even included this clip. Okay drop him, he’s a racist and an anti-Sem--. So I did exactly that! I went to Twitter and I pointed out the anti-Semitism. “So uh the YouTuber Turkey Tom threw a bunch
of anti-Semitic imagery in his latest video and it resulted in a comment section full
of... antisemitism, wow! If you have to rely on racism for YouTube
engagement, a) accept that your content is trash, and b) go screw yourself.” I’m cleaning this up for YouTube, obviously. And to this I attached an image of comments
that I picked out from the comment section showing how people were in fact being quite
anti-Semitic. A lot of people had a lot of things to say
about that, but the main man Turkey Tom himself replied saying, “I am not an anti-Semite
and there was no anti-Semitic imagery in my video”. Now, to make it clear, I didn’t call Tom
anti-Semitic, because I didn’t believe he is. My criticism was exactly what I said, which
was that shoving that imagery in your video to pander to actual anti-Semites is low. He obviously denied it, but the issue here
is that playing dumb like that really doesn’t work when he himself acknowledged that he
was coming across as anti-Semitic, in his own video. Okay drop him, he’s a racist and an anti-Sem-- The fact that it was a joke doesn’t change
what was happening. So I didn’t let him play dumb. I said “Look, I get that you’re either
an idiot or pretending to be one, but your comment section is filling up with anti-Semitism
for a reason. If that’s the crowd you want to associate
with, go for it but just keep in mind that sane people have a zero-tolerance policy for
your BS.” Now, I would like to emphasize the middle
part of that tweet. “If that’s the crowd you want to associate
with, go for it”. I put that there because I meant it. It’s up to you to decide what content goes
in your video and subsequently who you’re pandering to. No matter how you want to slice it, he put
the content in his video, and I’m not here to stop him from doing so, mostly because
I literally can’t, but I’m definitely here to share some thoughts about it. Then Bowblax, the guy who’s screenshots
I’m stealing, tweeted out “Darn, I thought you were pretty cool but now you’re lying
about what Turkey Tom said in his video and falsely accusing him of promoting bigotry...
that’s pretty effed up”. I posted that on my community tab with the
caption “Currently getting cancelled on Twitter, be sure to follow me”, which was
obviously a joke, I wasn’t losing followers. I was just using the situation for some Twitter
promo. The best way to wrap up round one is by reading
these comments left on that post. Someone said “I don’t believe that Turkey
Tom is antisemitic. He made some jokes in that video that were
edgy, but I really think the problem here is with the crappy people in the comments
section. He shouldn’t pander to those kind of people”. And I said: “This is exact my opinion as
well”. And that was in fact my exact opinion. A lot of people disagreed with me, but whether
people agreed with me or not doesn’t matter. I said what I thought, and I didn’t appreciate
Tom making it seem like I accused him of being anti-Semitic and he has no idea why, when
he knew exactly what I was implying. But that was the end of it. Or so I thought. 24 hours later, it was Thanksgiving Day. I don’t really do much on Thanksgiving,
so I was reading the comments that were piling up on my Tweets and posts. Many people were pointing out that Tom was
only 17, which I didn’t know when I told him his content was s--t and to go f--k himself. Tom doesn’t show his face in his videos,
and from watching the one I did, I just assumed he was an adult. So for the record, I am sorry that I worded
it that way. But I’m not sorry for the tweet itself,
just the way I worded it, and if I could redo it, I would make the exact same point minus
all the unnecessary words. As for the comments, some people 100% agreed
with me that he was intentionally pandering to racists, other people didn’t agree that
he was pandering to racists, but still pointed out that there was no real reason for those
jokes to be in the video regardless, and then almost everyone else thought I was just reaching. They weren’t picking up any malintent from
Tom whatsoever, and outside of what I criticized him for and how he reacted, I wasn’t either. I didn’t think he was some closet racist
who says a bunch of awful stuff behind closed doors, I just assumed he was going down a
very unfortunate path with his content choices and he should be well aware that it’s more
obvious than he thinks. Well uh, it turns out, it was the best of
both worlds! After my initial Tweets, people who knew him
personally came to me and said he’s casually discriminatory in everyday conversation, both
publicly and privately. Now, initially, I was just sent screenshots
where someone had collected instances of him saying the hard-r n word in a group chat,
which a bunch of weird censoring. As awful as this looked, it didn’t really
prove anything, besides that he says the n-word casually. Which, okay? But I still needed the context, so I asked
this person to actually prove it was Tom and show me what exactly the conversation was,
and they did. The n-word stuff was literally the most random
ever, with my favorite example being “n-----s don’t talk, they just say chicken”. Okay. There was also more stuff about Jews, with
him explaining that his higher Patreon tiers are for “Jews with deep pockets”. So, as you can see, the greedy Jew jokes in
his video a year later didn’t come out of thin air. That was a lot, but at the same time, the
person who came to me was obviously biased against Tom for some reason, so I myself went
to another person who knowsTom, and asked them about the screenshots. I just wanted an explanation, but that person
sent me even more screenshots, and pointed out videos in which Tom had been documented
saying stuff like “Burn the n-----s" publicly. On Twitter. So at some point, you have to call it. And I called it. I said “Happy Thanksgiving, we’re eating
Turkey Tom! He thought we wouldn’t be able to see his
racism through the thin veil of “comedy”; meanwhile he’s doing THIS in everyday conversation. So allow me to repeat from yesterday when
you tried to gaslight me: Go. Eff. Yourself.” To that tweet, I attached my favorite screenshots,
which were “My new name is gonna be “n-----s I hate n-----s ", "ah well, I’ll eventually
call someone a n-----s too many times or I’ll bully someone enough, I doubt you’ll hate
me”, “n-----s don’t talk, they just say chicken”, that one is actually funny
in its absurdity, and “don’t pretend like its something for your fans lol, it’s just
a tip jar for Jews with deep pockets”, in regards to his Patreon. Once again, Tom responded, saying “Damn
bro... DM messages that are a year old? Very classy! I’m edgy, probably too edgy, but I’m not
racist”. “Too edgy, but not racist.” That’s a creative way of putting it. And you know what, he’s perfectly within
his right to say so. So I didn’t answer him on that front, but
at that point, both of our Twitter followings got into a debate about whether or not it’s
racist to say “I hate n-----s" which is fun, but I didn’t get into it because at
that point, you’re going to believe whatever you’re want to believe. I don’t have time to go through the “But
the word has a racist history” “But iDubbbz said it’s just a word” debate, because
I already know where I stand on that, and I don’t really need to change anybody’s
mind. Also, his assertion that the messages were
from a year ago wasn’t even remotely accurate, as one of the Discord messages was from less
than a year ago, and the Twitter message was actually from about half a year ago, so that
doesn’t hold up. He’s apparently apologized for this stuff
in the past, or so I’ve heard, but these messages came after, so what’s the point
of apologizing if you’re just gonna do it again. Speaking of that, in the video in which he
apologizes, it actually ends with him doing it right after. So the pattern is there, and that’s why
I said something. I didn’t answer his “I’m edgy not racist”
Tweet, but I did answer a couple of other people. Probably the best of which was the YouTuber
Nicholas DeOrio telling me that he unpinned my comment on his YouTube video . . . because
I’m just as bad as Imallexx. I get what he’s trying to imply, but Imallexx
falsely accused somebody of assault, so that’s like comparing apples to oranges. And besides, unpinning a comment? That’s the best you could come up with? Okay. But then Tom just went off in my replies. Not even my Tweet about him, it was the one
about unpinning my comment. “The point is that you’re the same scum
that you accused ImAllexx of being.” Keep in mind that I’ve never made a video
about ImAllexx and my YouTube comment was really about Alex’s fans. Anyway, “The point is that you’re the
same scum that you accused ImAllexx of being. Someone that I clearly knew and trusted in
confidence sent you those screenshots, and instead of DMing me and asking me if I was
some sort of racist, they sent it to you.” You know, when people say things like “I
hate n-----s" in any context, I’m not going to stop and ask if they’re racist. But even at that, I still did, and that’s
when I was sent even more garbage that you’ve posted, so I’m sticking with my conclusion. He continues, “the truth is, you have no
real integrity over this. It’s no secret that I’m edgy on the internet,
or that I say stuff ironically all of the time. I was literally suspended on Twitter for saying
something about women. You don’t give an f about integrity; you
don’t care about racism. This is about you outing the BIG BAD racist
Nazi Turkey Tom and collecting your Twitter likes off it. So you know what? F you. I’m not playing your little effing game
where I apologize for being an awful RACIST GUY. I appreciate the phone calls to my house guys,
really cool of you.” So there’s a lot to respond to here, but
we have plenty of time to do so. First of all, nobody is going out of their
way to make him look like an awful racist guy. Except him. I didn’t screenshot a bunch of his tweets
and then rearrange the letters so it spells the n-word. These are his own messages. It’s not like he said this in a one-on-one
conversation either, how would you not know that people screenshot things in a group chat? I now have access to that group chat. And besides, he’s posted it publicly on
Twitter before. Secondly, trying to tell me that I don’t
care about racism? Have you not . . . seen me? Like I don’t know if you noticed but I’m
like . . . really pretty. And honestly, of course it was for Twitter
likes. But that doesn’t change my criticism or
invalidate my opinion. We don’t post things on Twitter for nobody
to see them. Integrity is me saying what I think is true,
and then not backing down in this video just because some people are mad at me. As for the phone calls to his house, I’m
not taking responsibility for that. None of my tweets or community posts, all
of which are still publicly available, even implied that I want people somehow contacting
his house. I didn’t distribute his number because I
don’t know his number, I don’t even havehis real name. I just called him out from one creator to
creator. Publicly of course, because that’s how 2019
works. And the last thing, “big bad racist Nazi
Turkey Tom”. Who said anything about Nazis? I didn’t even use the word or allude to
it in this entire situation. I say "Tom put anti-Semitic imagery in his
videos to bait people”, he says “I’m not an Anti-Semite". I say Tom racist for saying “I hate n-----s
" and Tweeting things like “burn the n-----s " publicly, and he says “I’m not a Nazi”. He's either deliberately misinterpreting what
I’m saying, or just reading way too far into it. And guess what, that backfired. So for a recap before the final round, both
Tom and I had all of our opinions on the table. My round one statement and beliefs: Putting
anti-Semitic imagery in your videos leads to racism in the comment section, and it’s
not good, and you shouldn’t do it. I don’t think Turkey Tom is an anti-Semite
though. His round one statements: He’s not anti-Semitic
and there was no anti-Semitic imagery in his video whatsoever. My round two statements and beliefs: Turkey
Tom says things like “I hate n-----s ", which makes him a racist. Attempting to mask racism with memes is ineffective. His round two statements and beliefs: He’s
not racist, he’s just too edgy. Besides, the statements were from a year ago
(except for the ones that weren’t). In addition, I have no integrity and he’s
not going to let me make him look like a Nazi. Plus, saying the n-word doesn’t make you
racist. Which, for the record, obviously. It’s in context. I don’t think if you’re reading Huckleberry
Finn and your kid’s like “what does that word say”, you can’t not read it because
you’re suddenly gonna turn racist. But anyway, this should all have a big case
of agree to disagree, because at the end of the day, everything I just said was an opinion. They’re contrasting opinions, but nothing
makes mine or his more or less valid, except bias. From my biased point of view, nothing Tom
saying is correct. And everything I said is right. But looking at the situation objectively,
he and everyone who agrees with his statements are just as entitled to tell me that I’m
wrong. That’s why I’m not here to take back or
add anything to what I said. I know I left out a lot of what happened,
but again, I really, really encourage you to watch Bowblax’s video because it has
almost every single thing I said, and as we know, Bowblax doesn’t even like me anymore,
so that video is not meant to make me seem like the good guy here, just as I’m not
here to do to myself. But obviously, I can’t completely avoid
that. Regardless, that’s the situation to the
best of my ability. So you might be wondering to yourself . . . well
wait. What’s round 3? You promised 3 rounds! Well round 3 is quite simple. See, if Tom and I had had this conversation
in a vacuum, or you know in private, but we don’t do that because we’re influencers,
then it would have stopped at round 2. I think what I think, he thinks what he thinks,
we all said what we said, and we’re not taking it back. But remember, we had this entire conversation
on Twitter. Therefore, the entire commentary channel community
on Twitter absolutely lost it. People were calling me the scum of the Earth,
saying things like “Well it’s Thanksgiving, don’t you have a family to spend time with?”
which is funny to me, because A) it doesn’t take that long to post screenshots on Twitter,
and B) wasn’t it Thanksgiving for you too? Unless of course, you don’t live in the
US, but my point is I don’t have a family, because Turkey Tom broke into their house
and called them the N-word to their face, and unfortunately, they all dropped dead. And more importantly, there’s a deep satisfaction
about people being mad at me for tweeting at a turkey on Thanksgiving. You can’t write this stuff. Another thing that came up a lot was that
I’m an SJW, which is ultimately not true, but even more ultimately ironic because the
people calling me that were the ones absolutely losing it on Twitter. Acting like I was calling Tom a Nazi, and
a white nationalist—I called him racist for saying “I hate n-----s”. It’s really not that serious. The overreaction is what gets me the most. Was I overreacting? Obviously. My Tweets were very mean. But you would think that a crowd who so valiantly
champions their right to use edgy humor would be able to take a couple of mean tweets from
some dude on Twitter without having a complete meltdown. But alas, people were also crying about cancel
culture, saying that I ruined Tom’s future? Which, at that point, you’re just doing
the exact same thing that you accused me of doing, which is lying and exaggerating to
try to make me seem like a person I’m not. First of all, cancel culture barely works,
but secondly, being criticized publicly is not being cancelled. None of us lost enough subscribers for SocialBlade
to even register it. So either, nobody got cancelled or that was
the most ineffective cancellation on Earth. And as for me ruining Tom’s future; first
of all, he’s publicly said the exact same things that I’ve shared, this isn’t new
information which Tom himself referenced by saying “it’s no secret that I’m edgy”. Secondly, are you dumb or you stupid? Do you really think this guy’s first name
is Turkey, and his last name is Tom? When he applies for a job in the future, is
he going to put his edgy YouTube channel as the top line on his resume? If he doesn’t . . . nobody is going to know
it’s him. 17 years old though he may be, he’s obviously
taken lengths to remain anonymous, and so I left him anonymous. I don’t have his real name, his face, definitely
not his phone number. So to the adults in this situation who are
perpetuating this whole idea that I’m the scum of the Earth because I exposed this 17-year-old
as Nazi by using old screenshots of edgy jokes, (half of which were less than a year old and
most of which contained racial slurs), and that I ruined his life because I had to be
the police of who gets to say what . . . do you know what it makes you sound like? A triggered, overly dramatic, SJW. If you guys need a safe space where you don’t
have to see my scawy opinionated Tweets, then log off of Twitter, it’s actually that simple. That's what I did when I got tired of hearing
stuff like this: So, my thoughts on this D’Angelo fu-----d
is, how does it feel to be a complete and utter fu-----d who’s literally going after
a teenager and potentially ruining his life and reputation before he even has a chance
to live out his life. People were trying to say “This is the same
as trying to cancel PewDiePie” which makes less than no sense because PewDiePie apologized
and stopped the behavior for every single thing he was called on. I think the worst Tweet out of all though
was this one right here, once again from Nicholas DeOrio: “Send your audience, tell them I
said things I didn’t, have them flag my Twitter down like you’re clearly trying
to do with Tom”. Really. First of all, if I did somehow get his Twitter
taken down, you realize literally everyone would hate me, right? Secondly, if me Tweeting about someone and
tagging them in a Tweet is me trying to get their account taken down, then that means
everyone tweeting about me right now is trying to take my account down. Does that make literally any sense whatsoever? You’re just putting words in my mouth and
it makes you seem really dumb. This same person also brought up the fact
that Tom has autism. . . at least, I think that’s what this Tweet is saying, it says
“a minor and a guy with autism”-- none of this guy’s Tweets are clear to me whatsoever. But bottom line, this literally isn’t a
debate about autism, and unless Tom himself wanted to come forward and say that, it’s
really not relevant information. If that’s even true, A) it doesn’t change
any of my opinions and B) there’s no physical way I could have had
that information beforehand. In conclusion, all of the fully grown men
on Twitter overreacting and embarrassing themselves . . . honestly . . . it’s exactly what I
would expect from Twitter. //ON THE RECORD If you’re planning on making a response
to this video, or using any part of this video to make some point later down the line, make
sure you include the majority of what I’m about to say. I’m fully aware that freedom of speech covers
your right to say the N word. This might shock everyone who wanted to write
me off as some sort of SJW, but I’m quite cognizant that you can say whatever you want. Not only that, but I’m also aware of the
fact that what I think people should or should not say doesn’t affect people’s right
to say it. I’m not the moral compass, the final authority,
or the end-all-be-all for anything that’s said online. If I was, every YouTube video would just be
10 minutes talking about how great I am and how great everything I do is. But sadly, we don’t live in that world. But what edgy Twitter has truly failed to
understand this past week, is that that we don’t live in your world either. So for every crazy thing you say, there’s
going to be someone out there saying “I don’t think you should say that”. But if your reaction is to just act the exact
same way as you’re accusing me of acting, then that’s really undermining your entire
attitude. You use “cancel culture” the same way
that people use the term “problematic”: as an empty buzzword that means “something
I don’t like and I don’t want to hear”. You start picking up the same attitude as
the people you’re against: triggered. Looking for any and every way to discredit
people because they’re saying things you don’t appreciate, even if that means straight
up lying about them. And most notably of all, you do the exact
same thing that seems to be your biggest pet peeve: pull out your victim card, stand on
your soapbox, and lecture everyone from your moral high-horse about how you’re not going
to be oppressed by cancel culture. Do words hurt people or not? If they don’t, say "I hate n-----s” all
you want, and I’ll call you racist all I want. If they do, then we can all be more mindful
of what we say. But I'm not going to sit and let you selectively
apply your logic. So my statement to all the grown-up edgelords
who sloppily came to Tom’s defense is this: I can say whatever I want, and there’s nothing
you can do about it whether you agree it should be said or not. I’m well aware that Tom is 17 now, and that
he was 16 when he said some of this stuff, but seeing as some of it was only 6 months
old, he hasn’t changed, and he has a pattern of repeating it, I’m well within my right
to call it out. Nobody’s life is over because some tweets
on the internet connected to an anonymous YouTube account. My life isn’t over because you guys were
calling me the scum of the Earth and claiming that I ruined some child’s life. And at this point, Tom is the only one who
gets to decide how things play out in the future. So as for you Tom, take ownership, dude. Either you’re sorry or you’re not. If you really want to be like PewDiePie or
Idubbbz, or Filthy Frank, or any of these people, then it doesn’t come with the “but
I’m not really like that” immunity. Especially not when you’re turning 18. Playing dumb isn’t going to get you anywhere. I didn’t go forward with those old messages
to prove that “you said it in the past, so clearly you still have to be this way”. I did it because after talking to your friends,
it’s obvious that you are still this way. When you try and shield from the fact that
these messages are a year old, it doesn’t mean that you’re not doing the exact same
thing now. I’ve been in coversation with Turkey Tom,
and he’s the exact same as he was a year before. Doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to say these
things if they’re in joking context, but the argument of him saying this is a year
old is irrelevant because he’s doing the exact same stuff now. We both became very hypocritical in this situation,
because I myself have said in previous videos, that if we constantly had things brought up
from our past that we’ve said, then we would have no legs to stand on. So I should have just gathered more recent
examples to my point, which hasn’t changed, which is that you haven’t changed. You’re being quite hypocritical too though,
because you yourself made the very argument that the YouTuber Hyojin was racist for talking
the exact same way as you Additionally, I’m not too sure that you
have much room to talk about racist comments when say s—t like “no you stupid f-----g
n--” I just find it funny that she would complain about getting racist comments when
she says s—t like this. It’s either racist or it’s not. Once again, I'm not going to let you selectively
apply logic. It can't be racist comments when Hyojin says
it as a joke but only a joke when you say it as a joke. Ultimately, we both handled this situation
wrong. And I am sorry for the way I tried to prove
my point, and how I said things. But this isn’t an apology video for what
I said. This video is just everything I should have
said in the first place. Oh, and one last thing. As for Tom’s assertion that I don’t really
care about the issue and I was just using it for Twitter likes-- that’s the only part
of this entire situation that actually hurt me because . . . if you knew what kind of
person I was, then you would know . . . --that I’m also using the situation for
YouTube likes! Anyway, looks like I’ve gotten way more
than ten minutes of content out of this, so leave a like, tell me what you think and subscribe
if you haven’t already. Thank you for watching and
a big thank you to my 234,000 subscribers. Okay bye. By the way, when I brought out that second
round of screenshots, Tom should’ve just said they were fake, ‘cuz I would have had
like no way of proving otherwise.
