My Response to “My Response”
I want to start this off by saying that I do really enjoy Pewdiepie’s content as a creator, but I enjoy Felix Kjellberg’s content even more, it’s the reason I subscribed. I realize that I am probably in the minority when I say that, and I also realize that some people might not get why I am separating Felix from Pewdiepie.
To me, it’s a no brainer. As much as you can be honest with your fans, I truly believe that there is a human reaction to a camera being turned on, a reaction to knowing that anyone and possibly everyone are staring and judging you. I wouldn’t call it a stage fright response, just awareness. I’m an actress, and as young as I am I have been acting for 10 years. It happens in me too, just the opposite. When you play a role in a show, a bit of you always leaks through. Maybe it’s the only connection that you have to that character, but I know I will latch onto it. I think youtube is the opposite. You are yourself, but a bit of that character slips through. I think it always will, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, unless it has bad intentions, or is not being seen as what it is; a bit of a character.
Which brings me to “My Response”.
That small fear that we all have, of the wrong person seeing what we’ve made, or done, and taking it the wrong way is what happened here. To get it out of the way, in a sense:
Yes, I 100% agree with Felix on the fact that the media is afraid, and that’s why this happened.
Yes, I 100% agree that this was blown way out of proportion and that a news organization like the Wall Street Journal should feel ashamed for have written and published this.
Yes, I 100% agree that Youtube the organization, and the community should really push back on that.
Yes, I 100% agree that there are bigger issues.
To reference Felix’s video a bit, this is about where I expect people to stop reading. People including Felix, @markiplier, @crankgameplays, @therealjacksepticeye, and many others. (If this get’s anywhere at all)
