The James Charles Controversy Being Swept Under The Rug Is Strange and Troubling, GOT Finale, & More Carrie G: #1 - James is 100% aware of the fact that being a celebrity DOES give him extra perks of having more access to straight guys (because they're enamored with his MONEY and FAME. # 2 - There are THOUSANDS of gay men who would LOVE to be involved with JC. Yet, he ignores them. Hmmm. interesting. (That alone speaks volumes)The bottom line is that JC intentionally goes after very, very (HIS words - not mine) straight guys. He thought Sam (the busser) was very, very straight. He did it ON PURPOSE. (Also note, Sam didn't contact JC UNTIL his sister told him that JC was famous. Case in point) He's also pursued OTHER straight guys. and when it doesn't work out. JC acts all butt hurt that he was manipulated. Dude, there are TONS of attractive gay guys out there. Those men probably DM him on a regular basis - yet he doesn't pursue any of those relationships. He wastes his time going after Gage for five months - then cries over it when Gage realizes he's not gay. (Shocker) JC has NO EXCUSE for not pursuing openly gay, attractive men (not that I think being attractive is necessary - it's just what JC prefers. THAT'S the point Tati was making. And JC was 100% using his celebrity status as a way to lure those guys into a relationship with him (or bi-curious men - who, surprise, realized they weren't bi after all. He knew having the perks of a celebrity would peak the interest in these men. Period. He can't play dumb about that. (Not that I'm condoning these guys' behavior for seeking out the perks of being around rich or famous people. But, it happens. Male or female) JC knows that it DOES matter to people. And, he used that as way to entice other guys to interact with him (whereas if he was a nobody and not rich, they wouldn't have bothered DMing JC in the first place. Those are the REAL issues. Do I think JC will stop flirting with straight guys? HELL NO He could simply DM someone & ask if they're gay. THEN lay on the compliments. He doesn't do that. And, I don't believe he's truly changed. Because his excuse will always be oh, I didn't know they weren't gay. Except for the simple fact that HE COULD ASK FIRST After which point, he could ask for their number and give them compliments. So simple really. He has no excuse.

I can live with where GoT ended up. It's not the ending I was hoping for but that in and of itself is not a bad thing. It's GoT, shit happens I don't want all the time, how many characters I loved have died already. The part about this season that sucks is the way we have reached the ending. It has felt like the most rushed, poorly explained mess of a narrative. I'm fine with the ending. But someone pointed out, albeit in a meme, that it used to take 3-4 seasons for a good guy to turn into a bad guy. Now they've tried to squeeze that change into two or three episodes. It feels rushed, it feels like what you get when a student suddenly remembers at 8pm that their essay is due at midnight. It feels like they have no idea how to execute the plot when there is no book to use as a blueprint. And it feels like they couldn't wait to be rid of the damn thing. I can live with the ending. If the books end the same way I expect I will be fine with it. Because it will be properly developed in the books, characters will still feel real, and things won't feel shoehorned in. It's hard to explain while trying to be spoiler-free. But It's not the ending, it's how we got to the ending.

Re: GoT season 8 - It's disgusting how people are behaving with petitions and the like. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of these cruel, ignorant shits would crumple like paper under a 10th of the criticism levelled at them for their performance at work. What's worse is, before firing off all this hate, they're not stopping to think about the 100's of other people whose blood sweat and tears they're utterly dismissing by demanding (UGH) the season be redone. Again, I'd love to see how these people would react if, after spending months and months of looong ass days and nights, toiling away on a project they felt passionately about, someone in a completely unrelated field who doesn't have a clue about what they're talking about, unzipped their pants and pissed all over the final result. Then had a petition circulated through the workplace to have them fired for their efforts. It was rushed; that's it. A full, 10 episode season would have fixed everything wrong with it.

You know how someone's voice, affect, physical presence and existence in the universe just annoys the living fk out of you, even beyond any rational understanding of why? That's exactly how I feel about Philip DeFranco. I had to comment and finally get this off my chest. I've never watched more than a few seconds of him because I become physically overwrought with tension. I'm not obsessive about him. He doesn't exist to me if I don't see him or hear his voice. To me, he exudes the embodiment of the annoying politician, used car salesman, televangelist, pretentious, ahole that overdramatizes EVERY, SINGLE one of his annoying facial expressions. And now he's going to pop up in my suggested for 3 weeks. Yay, me No hate, just absolutely cannot with him. I would exist in a different time/space continuum than Philip Defranco if I could. Sorry, Philly boy. I wish, in YouTubeland, one of us was just a brief glitch in the matrix. ;)

The beauty drama is just that. Most people in that scene, not all, are pretty dramatic and act on feelings. I feel like it is what brings them people and keeps people and even turns people away from them. It is just what some people like and is very disappointing to know basically a cat fight that even around 10 years ago wouldn't have made headline news has become a strong point of our culture. This should have been a conversation held privately but in the end was blown out of proportion like a popular crowds infighting in High school. There are times when people being in a spot light where they get to manage their own content post something that is untrue like sending an emotional text or making a emotional phone call before you have all the facts. Too much attention is sometimes given to these scenarios, if there was something serious in the beginning, I feel like there would be Lawyers involved.

It seems to me (someone not into the beauty/cosmetics side of YouTube) that James Charles was initially acting in good faith that he'd done something wrong to upset his friends and mentors. Maybe he read a situation differently than Tati did and he was ready to apologize for that. But then the hate and accusations kept coming, and from a lot of people who seemed ready to jump on the bandwagon of just bashing someone famous/popular. So it seemed like the mask was slipping, and James had no reason to be genuinely remorseful anymore. And he had the receipts to prove it. Maybe lasers got involved. Maybe some police calls were made. And maybe James realized that he had better defend himself instead of trying to mend bridges with people he believed to be friends. So we then get the toned down responses and seemingly sudden apologies. But that's just my take on it.

If I had known exactly what comes with taking out student loans I probably wouldn't have even gone to college. I went for four years and came out with two degrees and yet it has gotten me nowhere. I'm a CNA. I could have done that straight out of high school. My sister went to college and came out with multiple degrees as well. She is working two jobs and pulling multiple double shifts per week just to pay off her loans. She is suffering from horrible depression and has even said that on her way home from work she was thinking about how she could kill herself. Student loan debts are absolutely miserable and it's constantly held over our heads after we graduate. If I could pay off my sister's debt I would. I'd rather pay mine off for the rest of my life than to see my sister's life possibly end because of the pressure of that debt.

200k in loans to go to Morehouse? That's insane. ESPECIALLY considering only 53% of its graduates even graduate in SIX years. Post graduation salaries average only 48K. Who in the world is advising these students to go into a lifetime of debt for a school that is barely even ranked near 150 in National Liberal Arts colleges? That's the real predator, not the loans they take out to go to a private university. Most of these students could go to hire ranked public schools and pay FAR less. 90+% of Morehouse students get financial aid. 50% of them don't graduate in 6 years. That means that 40% of the financial aid doled out is completely wasted. and that 10-40 million in loans they take out, doesn't even include pell grants.

I had never heard of any of these beauty gurus before the drama so I watched one video from each of em and then I watched the Tati deleted video then the jc 40 min video and I 100% believe jc. Have no affiliation but I believe Tati just blew a gasket over the vitamins and hatched a plan to end his career. It almost worked. I think jefree seized the opportunity to help en jc career because less competition. Jc is 19 and had all that proof to back up his story. I am now a jc fan and I hope Tati and jefree sizzle out as jc rises. Because I genuinely believe they took advantage of the unprecedented backlash from the public. They profited from their slander against an innocent boy. Two very bad ppl. #teamjamescharles

the entire tati, charles, and star BS really just came off as a publicity stunt for tati to get more subs and money but when actual human beings started to come out their stuff about james being predatory and agreeing with her (those peoples stories being false or not, i think she finally realised she helped damage a persons life and panicked and basically took all of what she said back. some of these beauty gurus really run their work lives like theyre politicians during election season. openly supporting some and blatantly dragging others through the dirt before forgiving them so both sides could receive some coin. its disgusting. its blatant exploitation of their viewers so they can be greedy.
