The Corrupting Influence of Youtube… SEXUALLY. (Onision & Wayne Hsiung)

in this video we're gonna talk about
political leader called Wayne's young we're gonna talk about a youtuber called Venetian we're not going to engage in shallow finger-pointing we're not gonna engage in shallow gossip and rumor mongering I'm gonna try to talk about the underlying issues in a somewhat profound way what we have in the year 2020 is a lot of moral panic about age gap relationships we have a lot of moral panic about complete strangers meeting and falling in love over the Internet or just meeting and having sex over the Internet and we have a moral panic over these things because they're new and different there were a challenge to how our culture operated in the past I remember hearing an interview with a man who did a study on the very first singles ads dating ads that were in newspapers over a hundred years ago and he talked about well it wasn't a very interesting interview but he talked about how the Christian values were so much stronger in those ads and many of the advertisements stated that the person was ugly person said oh I have a face that could stop a clock you know but they emphasize that they were hard-working honest sober that they'd make a good wife or make a good husband despite being ugly or plain so you can imagine nevertheless probably when newspapers first started carrying these advertisements in the English language people turning right probably there were Christian preachers banging their Bibles and saying this is a den of sin and this is iniquity this is Delman the term moral panic it's generally used by left-wing people to suggest hysteria exaggerated moral concern where there's no valid reason for it but the truth is most of the examples that use most of the reasons we use this term um there is there is a cause for the hysteria there is a real cause for the few moral panic about communism there is a moral panic about communist infiltration in our societies just a few months ago in Australia a Chinese spy ring was exposed when a representative of the Communist Party of China who was engaged in espionage in Australia and in Taiwan came forward and told his story to the public to the press and to the government and so on there are right now communist espionage rings actively employed to subvert democracy in Western countries do you want to panic what's the appropriate response there is a reason to panic there is something to be concerned about now how concerned what's a proportional reasonable month we can talk about you know where we go from there and my own parents in their youth were basically engaged in communist extremist activities to try to subvert the government of Canada they thought of themselves as revolutionaries they would have very gladly engaged in any kind of espionage they were asked to engage in on behalf of Russia or China there was more Cuba for that matter they would have gladly worked for the Cuban government so it's not so remote from me the motives that are involved in communist radicalism and the moral panic attached to that okay so we're deeply uncomfortable with the fact as a culture that people can sign up and join the army maybe at age 16 maybe at age 18 depending on where you are and what kind of deployment is people can start filming pornography at age 18 right people can take on all kinds of responsibilities life-and-death responsibilities as adults the moment they turn 18 or younger if you look it up where you live how old you have to be to own a gun where you are how old you have to be to engage in in legal prostitution where you are you know in some parts in that States prostitution is legal not illegal so we have all the rights and responsibilities of an adult creeping into life of just by custom I mean these are customs that have been around for centuries largely unquestioned I mean as you know a couple centuries ago people got married even younger people made these huge crucial decisions that would change the rest of their life at age fourteen Napoleon Bonaparte went to military college at age 12 I believe and that that was young I think 14 was a normal age then to commit to being in the military being in the Navy that sort of the whole rest your life right um the moral panic we have in response to seeing you know what happens with Wayne's young and his sex life what happens with a nascent sex life it's real and I think people want to reflect on it Hartley you know to apply the moral of the story to their own lives because all of us use the internet everyone watching this video at any rate is using the Internet all of us have access to the same kind of temptation even if it's just getting a tinder account or something of this sort of near infinite possibilities of meeting strangers of the Internet you know and you have to wrestle with the same challenges and where you draw the line and you know what's what's the right thing to do so okay it's a moral panic there's some degree of hysteria and exaggeration but it's a moral panic that thing exists with good reason there's another concern about how leaving with the type of temptation the Internet presents to each and every one of us can have a corrupting influence on our lives right and you don't have to be beautiful and you don't have to be famous to feel the pull of that corrupting influence in your life actually I spoke to a woman and she described to me how I think she just I think she just paid a photographer to take some really flattering pictures of her and create a very flattering like Instagram page for her and then she found she was able to access and flirt with and date and have sex with quite famous men that was all it took she-she not insulting of russia she herself is not famous in any way and she said yeah minor change to kind of her hairstyle and get some flattering pictures taken and yes the world of you know famous people looking for you know unknown Instagram profiles that they can do um that's a very real world she managed to opt into and I think briefly I don't think was for that many years of her life or something briefly she was exposed to the excitement and the thrill and the danger of being pulled into that realm of possibilities so all of us no matter how ugly we may be in our small way or within a few steps of that temptation that the the internet presents and you know boogie2988 if you don't know is he's an enormous ly obese youtuber he still needs to lose more than 100 pounds boogie2988 he's been completely corrupted sexually by his measure of Fame here on YouTube here on the internet the amazing atheist completely corrupted by his measure of fame here on the Internet sexually above all else and with any of these guys I mean a Missy and himself he started with a series of very clear political interests with a kind of program of ethical issues he wanted to take a stand on he wanted a lecture the world on in his way he had political and moral and ethical aspirations including his kind of over-the-top combative approach to vegetarianism vegetarian activism if you like he jumped on the bandwagon for a long list of left-wing political issues and he beat the drum very loudly for those issues sometimes of course to the audience's chagrin like you know gee anisia are you really the guy to take a position on black hairstyles african-american hairstyles like this is really for you to stand up on but you know whether it was anorexia or rape or suicide attempts or feminism or 20 different issues than feminism or transgenderism an isiand was there he was there with his sign post to demonstrate his own you know moral superiority and to invite you to participate anisia in his way was a kind of aspiring political figure yeah so you can insert sarcastic remarks here about how pathetic that might be somebody like the amazing atheist even more clearly and obviously from day one he was a kind of political dissident a kind of political commentator political leader and you know Wayne song obviously he's to some extent a youtuber and an internet personality all these things exist in the you know corrupting influence of the Internet exercised over these people but whence young obviously thinks himself first and foremost as a political leader and someone who's defined his mission in life is to find ethically all right you don't have to be handsome you don't have to be under 300 pounds right for all of these people if you know a little bit about their stories there's this tremendous corrupting influence you know the Internet and I guess I mean the crowd that's rising up to tear down and Sen like I guess they're acting out of that sense of frustration and fear the surrounding moral panic right that suddenly I mean okay in the past you had like a circle of people you could possibly date defined by those who happen to live in your town those who happen to go to high school with you or something you know people you happen to meet in different different circles of life this way and you know the Internet has massively expanded this circle where now yes suddenly you know an 18 year old can fall in love with someone like an Sen and get an airplane ticket and go and move in in his head and start being his live-in babysitter and it changes this person's life forever and there is a kind of moral panic in response to this even if it's entirely legal there's no law against it yet and the crowd rises up wanting to punish anisia again maybe in part because they felt that same temptation or they're afraid of the corrupting and destructive influence it can have on their own lives whether it's on their own lives when they were 18 like looking back or on their own lives now when they're older and maybe they have a house and they have enough money to buy someone an airplane ticket right like they were aware they could end up going down the same road and this young went down now okay over time the content on an issuance channel became more and more dominated by more and more perverted by I would even say his sex life now this may seem like a stretch but I would say something this betweens young over a txc also okay to what extent is Wayne's political life in fact dominated by defined by perverted by his sex life and I am NOT gonna claim Wayne has done anything illegal I think he's done things that are stupid selfish he's engaged in a lot of short-term thinking but I mean to my knowledge Wayne hasn't done anything illegal right um to my knowledge he met this younger woman Cassie King and to my knowledge correct me if I'm wrong Cassie King had a job working at a t-shirt shop okay Wayne sits on top of a lot of money for direct action everywhere okay it's not his money it's the Foundation's money but all the bank accounts are either controlled by Wayne or his sister inexplicably the bank account sir when his sister's name and you know Wayne meets this younger woman and decides that it's a waste of her time for her to have this part-time job at a t-shirt shop while she's in university university student Morgan is a future and he decides that he can find it in his heart and he can find it in this institution's budget to pay her a fellowship to pay her a kind of salary or wage so that she can spend more time with him going around doing vegan activism so she can be prepared for more of a leadership role in that organization when she finishes her university so it's it's kind of self-serving it's not the height of democracy or good government for that that that agency or daddy it's not illegal how much money is direct action everywhere sitting on I think we're gonna have the first budget this year coming out from them that's over 1 million dollars that's my prediction however they definitely were in the past it was hundreds of thousands of dollars that was going up each year probably this year when we get the new numbers their new IRS Form 990 I think you could make it bet about whether or not they're now a multi-million dollar organization okay this brings up a lot of issues it does does within us into parallel to what I said before about Titanic Sinclair and poppy okay eighteen year old or nineteen year old kid being offered a paid job like that by a foundation by a relatively wealthy family it doesn't matter if they have only a hundred thousand dollars or they got a million dollars okay Wayne is in a position to offer that the younger person are they really in a position to refuse right it's tricky Titanic Sinclair offers this nineteen year old girl this opportunity and says to her hey do you want to be the next Britney Spears do you want to be the next you know famous musician and you know is that nineteen year old in a position to refuse the business relationship and this year position to refuse the sexual relationship and is she in a position to refuse the two being fused into one alright so mean again an isiand offering teenagers to my knowledge at least one of them was sixteen right sarah was sixteen offering teenagers an airplane ticket to come and move into his house rent-free and definitely with billy who was also a teenage with time he was offering to pay her to well basically to live there and do nothing I mean he was offering to pay her a salary he also he was paying to fly her in paying her room and board he was paying her money to do nothing basically and he was also gonna pay for her to go to cosmetology college he was gonna pay tuition and what-have-you so she could become a makeup expert right and it's not just money that's involved in all these cases there's also the potential for fame that's why it's you know the corrupting influence of YouTube so when you look at that video I already put up that shows Wayne talking to a much younger woman I don't know if she's 19 or what there's a very well-endowed very attractive younger woman talking to Wayne and she's saying to him with such passion that she's willing to go to jail she's eager to go to jail she wants to break the law and go to jail for the vegan cause what's really going on there is she really someone who's motivated by a kind of rage and resentment against society does she really want to go to jail just for the sake of that revenge or just out of spite or is she someone who's thinking because this is the way YouTube corrupts everyone or is she someone who's thinking that she's better looking than supreme banana that she's better looking than Sarah of Sarah's vegan kitchen that she's better looking than hennya Hey amania these are three very successful vegan YouTube channels by the way okay all of which is true she's better-looking than all three of them put together she's thinking hey if I get involved with this older man set the head of this you know very affluent organization and if I can get myself filmed being put in prison this could lead to me being the next the next amazing atheist the next anisia Tevan you know the sky's the limit if she can get a little bit of Fame you know for this kinda thing but of course she could be the next freely she could be the next durianrider she could be the next supreme banana whatever the example is you want to take so when she's talking to Wayans young and she's talking about these opportunities for political activism she's specifically saying she wants to get chained up and break the law and go to jail she wants to do this all right I don't know what's motivating her is it the fame is it the possibility of YouTube notoriety of YouTube fame of Instagram Fame and if it's not even if she thinks she just wants to do this stupid political stunt for its own sake not for self-promotion not for fame on YouTube or on Instagram what have you do you think it's possible she's still really motivated by that fame but maybe isn't entirely aware of it maybe it's just not on the top of her mind while she's having that conversation and then when you got someone in Wayne's position who's capable of saying to someone like that hey you have a job working in a t-shirt store or you have a job working as a waitress you know it's kind of wastes your time my foundation has enough money that we can pay you a salary we can pay you a fellowship and then you can be a rebel with a cause you can do this full-time you can do YouTube you can do Instagram you can do street protests you can you can be in front of the camera you can be a star this is the corrupting influence of YouTube that completely pervades and in a subtle way changes the nature of even an explicitly political activist organization like Anonymous for the voiceless like direct action everywhere like peda like People for the Ethical Treatment you'll think there were people at peda who are really motivated by Instagram and YouTube fame I probably the majority of the of the people you see on screen they're motivated exactly by that and that's the retirement plan because peda is not going to work out a long term okay but how much more do we see that corrupting influence over people like an Sen over people like the amazing atheist over people like boogie2988 where it's like whatever it was they came to do here on the internet in the first place the amazing atheist wanted to be an author he wanted to be an author and he cared about politics and religion what if he had stayed on that course I think there's actually a profound sense in which he was perverted he was corrupted you know away from that original mission of why he came on YouTube what he was trying to do by exactly this kind of Fame with the sex in my opinion probably being even more powerful than the money in terms of motivating what what road you go to right how much greater is the effect on someone like an isiand who had a very scattered moral compass a very unclear sense of moral moral purpose although we had a tremendous opinion of his own moral superiority over his audience he was always giving very harsh castigating rowdy life starts and then with time even if what he was supposed to be doing was just comedy it ceases to be comedy and it just becomes him coming on camera and talking about his throuple his three-way sex relationship and sometimes it's him being self pitying about the relationship instead of is it's him harshly condemning the other woman and it's explaining that he's divorcing his wife to be with the other woman and then that's off it is about like hey you know now obviously within the last year the way in which it's completely taken over is there's a really meaningful sense in which all these people end up destroying themselves and utterly perverting and abandoning their own sense of political purpose because of this strange sexual potential that YouTube has to change all of our lives even the ugliest of us like amazing atheist even those of us who are 300 pounds overweight even you and you and you even the people who only have 1000 views per video that to me is worth thinking about not for the purpose of pointing our finger at Wayans young now for the pointed not for the purpose of pointing our finger at an SEM but ultimately to try to draw some conclusions how does this apply to us how are we going to live our lives moving forward because the reality still is that when people turn 18 they joined the army they buy firearms they own guns they drive cars they make life-changing decisions right and all of us have been dissolved and united by this strange technology the internet that makes it possible for us to know one another love one another heat one another meet one another get organized and achieve great things politically with one another whereas before we were isolated in the small town of our circle of acquaintances and mutual acquaintances those are the only options we had those are the only possibilities and temptations that could corrupt us
