no shit sherlock - I'd probably sleep though it too lol

that is true!!! nothing like family time

You just will never understand...tsk tsk tsk!!!

Yep! There are some people who don't spend a lot of time with their families but have a good relationship with them and I'm just like "why?"

yeah I don't go around debating pets and schooling with my brother lol
we talk about basketball and politics and work and family and things of that nature (and even sometimes kpop lol)

different strokes my friend...we all have different relationships with our family - some good some bad

OMG it's alright, dw!
It's sort of like roleplaying but it gets really interesting :P You just haven't seen it in action.

Yeah, I guess that's true. Everyone has their own family dynamics and personal information that I may not know. Even my closest friends, I may not know their true family situation or personal issues. Family is complicated in general.

you roleplay debating???? lol
that's right a lot of things happen behind closed doors and we'll never know if they don't tell us...

 

[anemoia]

Nope! The funny thing is that they slept through the entire thing!
And we started doing it after they fell asleep. It was really fun too.

I like little moments like this with my little brother because I leave for college in less than a year. I have to make the most of my time with my family!

awww thats so sweet i love it when people talk abt having a good relationship with their siblings

 

[RainbowMoon]

Yeah that's true.
Reminds me of that one song by Melanie Martinez that goes:

Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose for your brother
Won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains...
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees

 

[RainbowMoon]

awww thats so sweet i love it when people talk abt having a good relationship with their siblings

Thank you!
I mean, it's not a perfect one and we definitely have our differences but I'm so happy to have him as my brother (even though he gets on my nerves too)

But that's kind of how a sibling relationship typically is. You love each other but you argue and know what makes each other tick. But also, you're the only one that can bully them but if ANYONE else even thinks of touching them...

And he's 13, if you can imagine

 

[Selfmate]

Yeah that's true.

I have no idea what song that is lol

I would say that it's all over TikTok and YouTube shorts but then you're going to say "I don't have social media" so I'll show you.
It's trendy among POV TikTokers/YouTubers! I just don't use TikTok because I think it's trying to brainwash you anyway. I have more trust with YouTube.

This pretty much explains all Family channels lmao

 

[Selfmate]

I just don't use TikTok

good

Family channels

are those the dodgy ones where the parents use their kids for content or something???

 

[RainbowMoon]

good

TikTok...I feel the drama is kind of stupid and you have these people who are the center of everything. It's not like YouTube where you do hear about drama but you can kind of dismiss it because you don't follow that corner of the internet but then TikTok goes all off about it.

And also, I just find it weird when the only thing you have to do is a simple dance or expressions that anyone can do and you get so much more recognition than people sharing their actual talent and things that took hours. The algorithms just not all that great. Yes, you can argue that for other platforms but it's TikTok's whole personality. And what was really annoying was Charli D'Amelio for instance, she popularized the very popular Renegade dance but she didn't even create it. It wasn't until a long time later, she actually met this girl and apologized for not even giving her credit.

I remember when TikTok was the highlight of everything in junior high (2019-2020 specifically) and it was pretty annoying to the point where I was like "Yay, renegade dance!" and then stopped. I don't think I've had it since like 2021.

Yes. It's a mess.

Spoiler: TW//Child Abuse

There are some parents who recently got arrested because they had a family channel where they were abusing the kids for YEARS and it's just now being noticed.

I have no idea about tiktok drama...I also have no idea about YT drama by that matter lol
well fame is fame right? if you can make a living and earn recognition - that's what the masses want no?

which is understandable that there are dodgy people like that...

Oh yeah, that's probably a good thing. It's a mess. But for some reason, it's also satisfying to listen to what's going on. It's weird. I mean, there was a very popular YouTuber named SSSniperwolf that I hate to admit that I used to watch almost every day, especially because of most of the allegations against her before, she either confirmed that it was false/taken care of or just rumors. But very recently, like maybe a month ago, she doxxed one of her critics who has a YouTube channel and I lost all respect and support for her.

Basically, she was angry at him for being critical even though it wasn't actually harassment, found out where he lived, went to his address and posted it on her INSTAGRAM STORY. Girl could've just emailed him or contacted him through other means, but definitely not going to his house and DOXXING HIM to her millions of fans!!!!

And then she played the victim! As if it was his fault in the first place for even provoking her to do something like that. There's just no excuse. Not even being high or drunk could excuse her actions. And she did an official apology but AFTER YouTube decided to temporarily demonitize her channel, after like TWO WEEKS of the whole situation going down! It's good that G-Fuel, one of her biggest sponsors, dropped her. She deserves none of it.

I love how most of her comments nowadays are "Let's appreciate how SSSnipwerolf doxxes others" when it used to be "Let's appreciate how SSSnipwerolf posts a video everyday."

I don't understand why it's so hard to be famous and be a good person these days...the fame gets to too many peoples' heads! Some people don't deserve it because they can't control it.

Oh yeah. It's BAD. I would explain it to you here but I'll just do super long story short since I spent so long explaining the Wolf situation. There's a family channel where the mother and father exploited their children to get views and would record every single moment and embarrassing moments. The father wasn't as bad as the mother but he did the same and even so, he was a bystander and a supporter of this. She would duct tape the kids' mouths and starve them (she threatened not to feed them multiple times throughout some of their videos)

Here's a breakdown of it, if you're really interested. But just beware of these channels. I guess family videos are OK in moderation but stuff where that interrupts daily life for your children and hinders their comfort is terrible

have no idea who she is but doxxing people doesn't seem like a good thing...
it's like everything else the fame and the fortune and power just accentuates our base personalities...no different to others in such positions...whether they be police, teachers, politicians, business leaders etc etc

some are good and will continue to do good - others are bad and will continue to do bad...it's human nature!!!

hmmm....interesting

Yeah, not good.
Also, it's so weird talking about this to someone who's never heard of this situation. It's all over YouTube rn, even after 3 weeks. But it's good to learn so that we don't make the same mistakes! It's like that one quote "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it".

Yeah, that's true. But fame is also power. You can use it to help or to destroy. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I don't mean to dote but Tom Hiddleston for instance. He's a good example of someone who has a lot of fame and fortune but doesn't let it get to his head. Instead, he uses it to help people and sees it as an outreach for causes he cares about. He still stays humble even though he's quite literally gone from theater kid to playing one of the most beloved characters in the MCU, making literal millions. He still talks like a theater kid and speaks so well and humbly. He seems like the type of person to protect his family at all costs but never hurt a fly at the same time.

And then I can name quite a few people who are...let's just say...the opposite.

Yeah...it's unfortunate human nature though. Like most things. But humans are complex creatures.
I mean, there are a lot of things that we say we would never do, but when it really comes down to it, how willing are we to test that theory?

I feel like that should be a dystopian survival thing sort of like Hunger Games lmao. It would definitely be a good novel front-page caption!

that's right with great power comes great responsibility... I'm sure there are those on both ends of "goodness" spectrum...

I'm too old for that stuff but you aren't lol

Yeah, true. And human nature is just so confusing lmao. I've lived with my body for 18 years and I still don't know what's going on in there.

Lmaooo you're not that old! You may have the soul of a boomer but you're literally old enough to be my dad. And that's not that old.

I guess you have an old soul...my dad irl is 52 and he loves comic books, movies, video games, DnD, technology and geeking out about that stuff. He has a younger soul than you for sure 🤣

know thyself know thy enemy - 1000 battles 1000 victories!!!

no I meant if the hunger games were real I'd be too old for it whereas you'd still have to partake in the reaping lol

Ohhh I see. That makes more sense now.
Nah, I'd probably be the first one to go. It's one of those situations where I think that I could do something but I actually couldn't.
Surviving Hunger Games or a zombie apocalypse is one of them.
