[2018-12-20] My response to Elvis The Alien's video about me [lIua-eGziz4]

So I take it most of you know about the

video Elvis the Alien made about me a few

days ago. If you don't, he's a pretty

large YouTuber and he made a video

roasting my coffee beans pretty violently

a couple of days ago. And I just wanted to

make a quick video to respond to that.

Number one, I'm a little bit scared

because this is the first time a YouTuber

of his size has even noticed me or made a

video about me. And you might be thinking,

Daniel, this is a good thing, you're gonna

get more subs, more exposure, more views.

And that's— I guess that's true. I already

gained about 500 new subs since he made

the video on me, and I'd like to thank him

for not— for not absolutely destroying me

too harshly. He went pretty light on me,

he went pretty easy on me compared to what

other smaller YouTubers have said about me

in the past. I've said quite a few, quite

a lot of morally questionable things in

the past in some of my videos and

livestreams, so there's a lot of

ammunition available for commentators,

commentary channels like him, that they

could use against me. Usually these,

these commentary channels, they, they

usually aim or go for bigger YouTubers,

really famous YouTubers, or at least

YouTubers who are bigger than they are.

So I felt, I felt relatively safe from

becoming a target of these commentary

channels until the other day. That's why I

was kind of surprised that he made a video

on me since my channel is, is really small

and tiny compared to his own channel and

compared to other, other bigger YouTubers.

And that is the reason why I no longer

wish to gain new subscribers. If possible,

I would prefer to stay under the 100,000

subscriber mark. I don't want my channel

to blow up and become this massive thing

because I'm a pretty easy target. I've

said a lot of shit things that could be

used against me. Not gonna lie, I'm not,

I'm not the Saint Mary and Joseph angel

kind of person that you might expect a

normal person to be. I have my dark

secrets that I've revealed to everyone in

public, which maybe I shouldn't have, but

I never imagined my channel getting this

big, or, or, um, what's the word?

Fuck, I hate speaking. I never thought I'd

be noticed by anyone who has any kind of

influence. And some people have suggested

that I hide my subscriber count because

the larger the number you have on your

subscriber count, the bigger the target

you become. And although I would like to

become mega famous, that'd be great, I

also don't want to become a huge target.

And yes, I got another pimple in the exact

same place that this one was in. It just

kind of shifted over to here. And it looks

kind of stupid, and no one would have

noticed it if I just kept quiet about it.

But you know, since, since this is YouTube

and everything I say has to go straight

out there, it's not as if editing is a

thing, and I need to get the video to 10

minutes somehow. So let's get straight

into replying to Elvis the Alien's points

that he made in the video against me.

Now, I'm not going to say that everything

he said was a load of rubbish because he

made a lot of valid points, you know. I'm

not stupid. I know that some of my videos

sound rude and I shouldn't have made them

and they might hurt the feelings of the

people that I made them about. But the

thing you have to remember is I

never expect the people that I'm talking

about to ever see the video. For example,

I don't have any videos talking about my

parents or my sister, and that's because I

don't want to hurt their feelings and they

would see it. So I do care about people's

feelings if I know they're going to see or

hear what I would say. If I think that

there's a very, very low chance of them

ever seeing the video, then I would make

the video on them if I, if I had something

I wanted to say about them. First of all,

I would like to give my opinion on Elvis

the Alien. I like him. He seems like a

nice guy, cool guy. I like his channel. I

even watch his channel now and then. I'm

not subscribed. I'm not an avid viewer.

I'm not a huge fan. But I do like to check

out his channel now and then. One of my—

some of my favorite videos of his were the

ones when he talks about Leafy and Paul

Joseph Watson. So it was a bit of a shock

to see my face pasted all over his channel

when I woke up. He also followed me on

Instagram, so I think we're friends now.

As soon as she accepted the invitation to

go to a hotel with him, that means that

like sex was in stone. Like she had no say

in what happened. If that isn't the most

entitled thing I've ever heard in my life,

I don't know what is. So the first problem

I had with his video on me was that he

called me entitled because I expected to

have sex with that Japanese woman when we

went to a love hotel. And I still stand by

my argument, and I've argued this point

several times, many times, and it's

getting a little bit tiring, so I'll try

and explain it one last final time. The

type of hotel we went to was a love hotel.

Now, I don't know if Elvis knows of knows

about love hotels and the whole love hotel

culture in Japan. But it's basically a

hotel where you go to, to make love. It's

even implied in the name, love hotel. And

it's pretty obvious that it's a love hotel

when you see one. When you see one,

you'll know it's a love hotel because they

look weird. They're kind of crazy looking.

They have signs on the outside displaying

the prices, hourly prices. Who goes to a

love hotel for only 30 minutes or an hour?

People who are going to make love do. So I

honestly don't think it's completely crazy

for me to expect that sex is going to

happen when a girl says yes to going to

one of these love hotels. If it was just a

normal hotel, then yeah, I guess I

wouldn't get my hopes up so much because

it's just a normal hotel. Maybe she wanted

to come to my hotel room to sit, rest,

have a chat, have a drink. But it was a

love hotel that we went to, and it was a

love hotel that she agreed to going to.

So I don't think it's completely out of

the question for me to get my hopes up

and expect that something naughty was

going to happen and then feel disappointed

when nothing happened or very little

happened. Yeah, I know she can change her

mind at any time, any point. I know she

doesn't owe me anything. I know that I'm

not supposed to feel as if she does owe me

anything. But the whole point of the video

was Me expressing how disappointed I felt,

and I still feel like my disappointment

was justified. I don't think there's any

guy on the planet who would not feel

disappointed in that situation. You know,

it'd be nice if people try and put their

feet in my shoes when they listen to me

talk about these experiences and try and

understand what it what it feels like from

my point of view. Don't hotels mean sex?

Yes, yes, they do. That's why it's called

a love hotel. And if you've ever been to a

love hotel in Japan, you would know that

they've only been built for one purpose

and one purpose only, and that is to make

love. You go into the room and they have

condoms next to the bed prepared for you,

for Christ's sake. All the love hotels are

on the same streets. They're very

discreet. You go in, there's no staff.

You go in, when you book a room, there's a

touchscreen on the wall and you press a

button, it prints out your ticket to go

into the room. And then there's a machine

in the room where you pay. There's no

interaction with any other people. And my

point is that it's not a normal hotel.

It's not a regular hotel, and it's only

been built and designed for one thing in

mind. So my argument was that if you're a

girl in Japan, especially if you're a

Japanese girl and you know the culture and

you understand what a love hotel is, then

when you get invited to a love hotel, you

should kind of expect that the guy is

hoping to make love and

not just sit there chatting and sipping on

tea. The other argument people were saying

was maybe she changed her mind. Maybe she

did want to do something and then she

changed her mind when she got there. And

that's not the case because she even told

me herself that she didn't want to do

anything on the first date. And my

argument to that was, if you didn't want

to do anything on the first date, then why

did you agree to coming to a place where

the thing that you don't want to do

usually happens? She really should've just

said no when I asked her, when I invited

her, and she should've explained that to

me before we got there. And then this

problem wouldn't have happened. Here's a

video called My Wife Thinks I'm Cheating

on Her. So his wife caught him chatting

with some random girl that watches his

YouTube videos online. And she asked to

see the conversation, and he denied her.

So obviously she's going to become

suspicious. And he gets all offended,

right? Like, aw, you should just trust me!

If you refuse to let someone see a

conversation that you're having,

Obviously, you're trying to hide

something. If you had nothing to hide,

then why would you hide it to begin with?

I don't know, maybe I just wanted a little

bit of privacy. Maybe the thing that I was

talking about was a little bit

embarrassing, and I didn't want my wife to

see it. I don't think it's much to ask

for, you know, a little bit of privacy.

And my wife has private conversations with

other people that she would refuse to let

me see, so I find— I found it a little bit

hypocritical of her to criticize me for

hiding conversations when she does the

same. And you might say that I don't have

the right to ask her to respect my privacy

when I make videos talking about private

things about her. But you have to remember

that before I upload the video, I do ask

her for permission. I do ask her if it's

okay to talk about what I'm talking about.

I do show her the video before I upload

it. And if she's not okay with it, then

I'll say, okay, fine, I'll edit it down a

bit. I'll edit out the things you're

unhappy with, or I just, I just won't

upload the video. In the past, I do admit

that I've mentioned things about her

during livestreams which resulted in a few

big arguments, and I've been trying very

hard recently not to talk about extremely

private things about her on livestreams

unless I know she's okay with it. He made

a video called Why I Hated Having

Chlamydia. Like, this guy woke up one

morning, he's like, you know what? I'm

gonna make a video about why I hated

having chlamydia. Let's tell the entire

world that I have chlamydia. And then he

says in other videos that he suffers from

anxiety, that he has problems with talking

with people and relating to people and

stuff like that. But then he's comfortable

uploading videos like this. I get this a

lot actually, and it's one of my pet

peeves. A lot of people like to say, how

dare you pretend to have social anxiety

when you're making all these videos

exposing all these personal and private

things? Things about you. I'm not lying

about having social anxiety. I find it

very stressful and kind of difficult

talking to strangers, and I don't like

talking to strangers. I find it extremely

unpleasant. I've tried explaining this so

many times to people, but I think people

who don't have social anxiety find this

very difficult to understand. There's a

huge difference between talking to a

stranger, talking to a human being, and

talking to a camera or your phone or a

webcam on your laptop. Cameras and

laptops, they, they're just objects, and

I'm not scared of them. I'm not afraid of

a chunk of metal and plastic that has a

camera on it. Humans, on the other hand,

scare the shit out of me, especially

strangers. I feel perfectly comfortable

filming this right now because I'm all by

myself. There's no one else here. But if

there was even one person in the same

room, I wouldn't be able to make this

video. It It would be impossible. Even if

it was my own wife standing behind me, I

would not be able to talk like this. I

would be very nervous and anxious. And

yes, I can make a video for thousands and

thousands of people to watch. I could do a

livestream where there's hundreds of

people watching me, but I couldn't stand

up on a stage and deliver a speech to even

5 people, let alone thousands or hundreds.

And I don't really care if people know

that I had chlamydia. It's not

embarrassing. It's just a disease. Well,

it's not a disease. An infection. It's

just an infection. I know there's a stigma

around surrounding sexually transmitted

diseases, but I honestly don't care if

people know that I had chlamydia or

gonorrhea or syphilis or HIV.

It doesn't affect me if people know that I

had these embarrassing diseases or

infections. If I only had one testicle, I

would make a video about it. If I had 3

nipples, I'd make a video about it. It

doesn't bother me if people laugh at me.

I don't care because at the end of the

day, all these people watching me on the

internet, I don't know who they are. I'm

very thankful that they're watching my

videos, but I don't know who you are. I

don't know who Jim Bob from America is,

who lives in Canada. I don't know who

these people are. I'm never gonna meet

them. I'm never gonna have any interaction

with them. We live in a society where

everyone cares way too much about what

other people think of them. And it's just

silly when you think about it. Who cares?

I had chlamydia. Yeah, so what? I also wet

my bed when I was 21 years old when I came

to Japan for the first time. I also enjoy

the taste of my earwax, and I think my

armpits smell really nice. So what? And in

this video, he complains that a girl that

he slept with had chlamydia and he caught

it. And because she didn't use a condom,

I ended up catching chlamydia from her.

Actually, this isn't— this isn't 100%

correct. For some reason, I missed out a

detail from this story, and they did in

fact use a condom at the beginning. But

the guy, for some reason, decided to take

it off halfway through and then proceeded

to infect her. And then she infected me a

couple of weeks later when we started our

relationship. And even if there was no

condom during the entire process, then

what's wrong with saying that she didn't

use a condom when she didn't? I think it's

also the girl's responsibility to get the

guy to use a condom if he doesn't

voluntarily put one on. Why is it 100% the

guy's responsibility to, to use a condom?

And when I said she didn't use a condom,

I kind of meant that she didn't get the

guy to use a condom. I thought that was

kind of obvious. And there's also special

condoms designed for women to use. I don't

know how they work, and I've never seen

one, so they might be kind of rare. Look

at it. It's a pork chop. 234,000 people

have seen this! Unbelievable! And

obviously his girlfriend of the time

watched it. Actually, I'm pretty sure she

hasn't seen it because if she did see it,

um, she would have said something to me.

She would have messaged me about it.

Also, she even told me that she never

watches YouTube, and she's a 38-year-old

Japanese woman who doesn't know any

English. She's not even gonna understand

what I'm talking about even if she did

find it. Now, I'm not trying to justify

what I said about her. No one wants to be

called unattractive, and yeah, it's not

nice to call people unattractive. But the

whole point of the video was to express

how I felt about how she looked and to

talk about how I still felt attracted to

her even though her face wasn't

conventionally attractive, and that I felt

as if there was a bond growing between us

even though I didn't find her face very

attractive. I'm not very good at talking.

I'm not a natural public speaker, and

sometimes I say things that make sense to

me but might not make sense to other

people. People don't understand the point

that I'm trying to get at. I'm trying to

improve. I'm trying to speak more clearly,

and I'm trying to get better at expressing

my thoughts and opinions without sounding

insulting or rude. But, you know, it's

not— it's not easy for someone like me who

spends a lot of time not talking to

anyone. Like she touches a mirror and

leaves fingerprints, or she leaves a

window open so, you know, you can hear

things outside. How about you just clean

the mirror? Close the window so you don't

hear anything outside! These things that

you're complaining about are so minimal.

I did. I closed the door every morning. I

wiped the mirror every morning. I also

complained about her leaving the hair

dryer on the floor. And people said, why

don't you just pick up the hair dryer?

And I did pick up the hair dryer. I picked

up the hair dryer every single morning and

wrapped the cord around it and put it

nice— put it back where it's supposed to

be, nice and neatly. I didn't just leave

it there on the floor in a tangled mess.

And yeah, these problems that I talked

about, that I complained about, are very

trivial, are very minimal. But when you're

living with someone for a very long time,

these tiny little problems start building

up and they start getting more and more

noticeable and they start to get more and

more irritating and annoying. And yes,

for your information, I have talked to my

wife about these things. I usually talk

about these things to my wife before I

make the video, and then after we've had a

fight about it or talked about it, then I

make the video. And yet it probably only

damaged your relationship making this

video. I don't understand what you were

trying to accomplish by doing this. Yes,

that's true. I have damaged our

relationship several times because of

videos and because of things I said in

videos, and we've had lots of arguments.

We've fought many times over things I said

in videos, but we talk about it

afterwards. I say sorry, I apologize, and

then we move on and the relationship

becomes stronger. I like to compare it to

muscles. For example, you exercise, the

muscle gets damaged, and then you get a

bit of an ache for a few days, but you

just have a rest, eat some chicken, the

muscle repairs itself, and grows back even

stronger than it was before. And the

reason why I made the video in the first

place was for the same reason that any

YouTuber makes videos: to get views and

money, and just for a laugh. Some, some of

the comments I got on that video were so

stupid. People were saying, why don't you

divorce your wife if she's so annoying?

Yeah, as if I would divorce my wife

because she leaves a hairdryer on the

floor. As if I would leave my wife over

fingerprints on a mirror or because she

leaves the door open. Jesus.

Anyway, I think that's all I had to say

about his video. That was my response. If

I missed out— I did miss out a lot of

points he made, and that's because I

didn't really have anything to say. And I

think that's all I wanted to say, really.

I know I missed out a lot of points that

he made, and that's mainly because I just

don't have any argument or anything to say

to them. And they were good points, they

were valid points, and he hit the nail on

the head. And I will continue using

YouTube as a personal diary, as a therapy

session, because— because I want to, and

it's fun, and it's therapeutic, and I make

a bit of money off it. And if you don't

like that, then no one's forcing you to
