Joey Graceffa is a YouTuber whose personality is a magnet
attracting people to view his videos about his life. He uses words like SLUT
which causes some people to feign insulted. OHNOSE, he calls people names.
Something people never, ever do…ever. Woopty-do. I call people whores. It’s
like saying someone’s stupid. Sometimes you mean it. Sometimes you’re being
facetious.
Nate Clark is one of those feigners.
Joey’s video talking about his car being stolen vs Nate’s feigning over being insulted and why he’s jealous.
If you’re wondering how to create Jupiter from a pebble, ask
Nate. If you’re wondering how to make the best tasting lemonade you’ve ever
had, ask Joey. He made that comment after several thousand insults that ranged from Joey
being gay to Joey needing to kill himself (who knows how many he read or if he
read any at all). He had one single response with a well-placed grin. It comes from this video.
Joey has a great sense of humor that’s shown in how he reacts to being towed. I work with a tow company, and tow trucks call cops to inform them of a tow, because owners automatically think that their car was stolen. A natural reaction.
If someone is talking about you and you don’t appreciate it,
you pull them aside and tell them you don’t appreciate it. You don’t collect
everyone into the Town Square and announce that you hate the person with a condescending
tone. A douchebag would and, like Nate, make a video claiming they were insulted.
Not to mention having every right to get the car towed.
First let me take the “insulting.” In order to insult someone, you have to actually use their name or use some form of subtly that indicates the person. If you don’t indicate who it is, then you’re speaking in generalities. People do that when they’re in the car, and someone cuts them off. They scream a name at them, toss up their hands or do some vile gesture. The reaction to the cutting off isn’t personal. It’s an in general reaction to the abrupt situation.
Nate attacked Joey specifically. Nate said Joey’s name. Nate talked down to Joey without a hint of subtly as if Joey wasn’t any smarter than trash at the bottom of his high horse’s hooves. Nate sharing Joey’s income was a douchebag move because that’s what douchebags do. He tried rallying everyone to target the person he’s targeted. This garnered Nate a lot of attention. Something he really, really wanted. What better way to get that attention than taking on someone that has a lot of subscribers? Not only take Joey on through kicking him like a bum a snooty person hates, but have your video posted to Reddit and 4Chan and other whore sites so as to get attention for your supposedly altruistic deed.
Now about the right to tow. You have no right to tow. That’s
because you have no right to drive. You have no right to a car. You have no
right to a house. You have no right to a driveway. A right is equal to not
having to purchase. It’s already yours. Such as free speech. You don’t have to
purchase that. Making it yours. It’s a right. In order for Nate to have the
right to tow he’d have to have been given the car, the house and the entire
driveway without a single dime in payment to anyone, even the government via
taxes. Actually we’d have to all be given that without payment for it to be a
right. Since that ain’t happening, it’s not a right.
So, Nate didn’t have the right to tow. He had the legal
right to tow…which is not the same as having the right to tow. Legal is used in
court. It doesn’t matter elsewhere. Confused? Let me enlighten you with some
historical facts. Legally cities were allowed to separate blacks and whites on
buses, restaurants, restrooms, hospitals and such. Legally you can be arrested
if you’re 18 for having sex with a 17 year-old (no matter if you’re boyfriend
and girlfriend) and be charged with statutory rape AND be on the sex offenders
list. Legally women were not allowed to vote. Legal isn’t a good argument for right/correct/without
fault. Legal is only an argument in court, not for making a YouTube video demeaning
someone so you can get attention, Nate.
Nate is a douchebag CondescenKing. There’s no two ways
around his egotistical, inflated head. With people like that, they need a mob
to nod in agreement in order to feel validated in what they believe no matter
if it’s a lie. A mob. A zombie horde. A Borg collective. Whatever you call it,
that’s what Nate needed. And got. Each thumb-up was proof people cannot think
for themselves, let alone separate themselves from the bully. Nate is a bully.
Proof’s in the creation of the video. The question that needs to be answered is
what was Nate’s endgame? What did he want to accomplish with this video? If it’s
the attention he got, (which it was) then he was being a bully. If it’s to embarrass
Joey, (which it was) then he was being a bully. If it was to come off smarter
than anyone who thought he was a douchebag, then he was being a douchebag.
It doesn’t matter if Joey parked illegally. That, in no way,
justifies what Nate created…a sardonic storm of brutish, pernicious malice that
tried to rain on Joey’s pleasant personality that has harmed no one in any of
his videos. Something Nate cannot ever say.
Finally saying that you enjoyed the video because Nate made
you laugh is, quite simply, backing a douchebag. In order to suggest that the
video was done with humorous intent, it would have to be proven that laughter
is the only viable reaction to the video. It isn’t as proven by the previous
paragraphs as well as the posts in both videos’ comment sections. Nate didn’t
create the video to tell people to attack Joey, but he’s never denounced any of
the vicious comments that were made in his video comment section or that of
Joey’s. Meaning he agrees with the insults. One cannot say the same about Joey’s
fans, because Joey’s video didn’t name Nate or insult him personally. The fans
of Joey were reacting to what Nate did and what his lovers had posted. If Nate
never made a video, Joey’s fans wouldn’t have ever known who Joey was talking
about and therefore couldn’t make any comments about Nate or his lovers.
Speaking of people that back Nate’s video because they
laughed… Phillip DeFranco Show’s view on it – this is only relevant because of the hypocrisy. You cannot be for NOT
bullying, but be okay with it when it’s a byproduct of a video you endorse
because you chuckled at what you claim is clever (even though it’s far from it).
Nate’s video could not produce good. No reality that spans the space time
continuum would have a good outcome of this douchebag CondescenKing’s video.
Backing it is backing the comments that were tossed out against Joey. And
that’s why Phil is wrong. I mostly disagree with him on several billion things
because he’s too mushy and less logical, but his show is well done and enjoyable.
Especially when he’s not talking about political things he doesn’t really get.
Tre C. B.’s response is the kind of clever Nate was trying
to go for, but failed epically. And I can say that because when you get viral like Nate’s video, it’s not
because it’s clever, it’s because it was mean enough for the simple minded to
latch on to. Ooh if it was truly clever, it would take people a moment to
actually appreciate what’s going on instead of going OMG ooh snap. When you say
ooh snap, yeah…it’s as clever as a your mama joke. Which isn’t clever.
If you leave with anything that improves you, leave with the
view of abstaining from group think. Don’t ever be in a group that’s jeering an
individual to the brink of asking them to kill themselves. No one deserves to be
attacked by a mob no matter what they’ve done. Justice has never been handled
at the hand of an angry group of people. Not one single time in all of history
can you name such a moment. Don’t be historically stupid.
Can I post here? Why…yes I can.
