My Problem with Oriental Pearl (and other Polyglot Youtubers)

Oh, you know who got bloody 19 million

views?

That bloody Oriental Pearl person again.

Jesus Christ, 19 million!

2 weeks ago she made a video.

You will invite people and just ban all of

them again.

You turned your Discord into China.

Yeah, because you're all bloody annoying.

She got 19 million views and now all her

recent videos have like 500k.

19 million!

And then she comes onto my comment section

saying that I should like, oh, maybe I

need to have to improve my video quality

and my editing, as if that matters.

She only gets viral hits because she

speaks fluent Chinese and she's like a

pretty white girl in Japan, where she has

like Japanese people literally stop her in

the streets to take a photo with her just

because she's white and she's got blonde

hair.

If she was Asian, no one would give a

shit.

Why aren't you happy for her?

Well, I am happy for her.

It's just I'm not impressed.

She's just doing what that Xiaoman NYC guy

did.

The whole, look at me, I'm white, I speak

perfect Chinese, look at me impress all

the locals.

Yeah, her Chinese is really good.

I don't know Chinese, but I think I can

tell when it's good or bad Chinese.

Her Chinese is amazing.

Her Japanese is okay.

But she's just riding the trend.

Even George Trombly did the same thing and

went viral.

But all you have to do is be white and be

really good at language and have the

confidence to, like, make the vlog outside

in public.

I just think it's so pathetic that

Japanese people stop her in the street to

take a photo with her, like she's a zoo

animal.

It's so lame.

Oh, can we take photo with you blonde

woman?

Take selfie.

You don't even know her.

She's a stranger.

It's so weird.

How come Japan gets away with this?

It's like you go out on the street, you

see a black person, and then you ask to

take a photo with them.

Because of the novelty that he's black.

You'd get stoned.

But in Japan, it's okay.

They do that with very white-looking

people, especially blonde people.

They, like, want to take selfies with them

for some reason.

It's so weird.

Nobody wants to talk to you because you're

boring and uninteresting.

You need mental help ASAP.

If I'm so boring and uninteresting, how

come I got 109,000 subs?

I bet none of you could.

Yeah, white worshipping.

It's just sad.

Japanese society needs to just kind of

grow up.

They see a white person with blonde hair

and they get all excited.

They want to take a photo.

Why do you want to take a photo?

What do you do with the photo?

You show your friends, oh look, I met a

random blonde person, and then all their

friends are like, oh, sugoi!

Fucking cringe.

Like that Oriental Pearl girl, all she has

to do is like walk around the streets

vlogging herself, and within the first 5

minutes she'll have an interesting

interaction because like Japanese people

just stare at her.

And it's good content, I'm not saying it's

bad content.

I mean, it's interesting because it's—

okay, so her most interesting skill is

that she's really good at languages.

But then you get some channels where

they're really good at languages but you

never see them use it.

Like, not to name names, but certain

Japanese teachers who claim to be really

good at Japanese and And they probably

are, they are good at Japanese, but you

never really see them use it because

they're never out in public or talking to

locals, and it's just kind of dull.

But then you see content like Oriental

Pearl's videos, and yeah, it's interesting

because you see her skills and her

expertise in the language put to use with

locals, and it's interesting, it's funny.

So I'm not saying it's bad content, I

mean, it's just— if I was white and blonde

and had the confidence, I could do it too.

And if I could speak fluent Chinese.

Anyway, my point is, um, Oriental Pearl's

videos, although they are good and

interesting, it's not really original.

It's basically copying that Xiaoman C guy

who pioneered the whole white guy speaks

perfect Chinese, oh my God, look at their

reaction.

That guy was getting like 20 million

views.

I would be impressed if an Asian guy did

the same thing and got 20 million.

I'm not impressed if you're white and

you're blonde because— because you're like

worshipped in Japan and Asia if you look

like that.

If you are an Asian guy or girl and you

made a video like that, then I'd be like,

bravo, now I'm impressed.

I'm not impressed if you look like that.

You copy everyone?

Yeah, I copy everyone and I don't get 19

million views.

It's not fair.

Half, half white guy speaks perfect

Japanese.

Konnichiwa.

Daniel desu.

Her hair is bleached?

I don't know, it looks blonde.

Same, isn't it?

19 million views.

Jesus Christ.

She's gonna overtake Chris Broad.

She keep—

All she has to do is keep doing the same

thing.

If she deviates from that, her channel

will die.

The views will plummet if she stops doing

that language stuff.

If she just does what Xiaomanzi does,

which he just— he, he found out that that

worked and he just stuck with it, and he

made all his videos just, just be white

guy speaks perfect Chinese with the circle

around the Chinese woman's head, and then

he enlarges the head.

With a shocked face.

All she has to do is like walk around

streets of Japan filming herself, filming

the interactions, and then do like a

clickbait title, and they'll just keep

going viral.

Those 19 million views, several million of

those people will keep coming back for the

same stuff.

I mean, she could easily just overtake

Chris Broad by, by just constantly pumping

out the same stuff.

I mean, she's got it made.

Yeah, she's probably gonna get— I'd be

surprised if she doesn't have a million

subs at the end of this year.

You mark my words, she'll have a million

subs at the end of this year.

I bet you anything.

So unfair, my channel's been stuck at 109k

subs for the whole year.

Half Asian guy speaks fluent English.

Half Asian guy speaks fluent British

accent to his Christmas tree.

Since I don't look white, Why don't I do

Asian man speaks fluent English?

I can't even talk to anyone though.

That's the problem.

I get anxiety going downstairs to ask for

my parcel.

I have to like, okay, just go down and get

my parcel.

I feel so anxious just going down there

and saying, are there any parcels?

Being stuck at the same sub count is not

bad.

It means all the people who unsub are

replaced with new people.

Yeah, but every time I stream or upload, I

lose a bunch of subs, and then it takes

weeks to regain new subs, and then next

upload I lose a load of subs again, and

then it just never goes up.

I've lost like 300— no, I've lost like 250

subs since I started doing this whole

dressing up as a girl thing.

And I bet I've lost loads of subs since I

started streaming.

No, I only lost 10 subs.

But still, I shouldn't be losing any subs.

Why am I losing?

Why do I have to lose 10, 50 subs every

time I livestream?

How dare you unsub from my channel that I

spent five years working on?

Do you think it's food poisoning?

Because I think I had raw chicken.

I got these chicken tendies.

But I don't think I cooked it long enough

because the middle was weird.

But I thought these are already precooked.

How have they been deep fried in

breadcrumbs and they're not cooked in the

middle?

Let me cut it open, see if it's raw

inside.

I had it for lunch and the middle was like

squishy.

Oh, what?

Oh, it's raw in the middle!

I ate that for lunch!

Look!

Why is it raw in the middle?

Oh,

I had raw chicken!

You see, this is why I want to go vegan.

Stupid meat.

You wouldn't have this problem if you got

plant-based.

I actually wanted to get the, the plant

vegan meatless chicken fillet, but they

didn't have any.

The whole shelf where they have the vegan

plant-based food was empty.

I was gonna get the plant-based sausage,

so I had to get real chicken.

If you've got like the vegan version,

which is made out of pea protein,

I mean, you could eat that raw and you

wouldn't have any problems.

Stupid meat.

I tried the, the plant-based sausage.

It was very good.

It had like a smoky,

meaty flavor.

I'm quite impressed with the plant-based

selection of foods at Aldi.

But no tattooed chef.

When they gonna get tattooed chef?

Drink water.

Okay then.

Oh,
