honestly, if they're promoting their Wattpad + Twitter then they got the attention they wanted. they got their follows (if anything lost them) and got their 5 mins of Fame. calling them out now and saying it's not ok isn't hurting anyone, if anything he's telling them that they-

shouldn't do this. they are young and think 1: sexualizing celebs is ok and 2: thinking self promotion is ok. them captioning the video doesn't excuse any of this tbh

i never said captioning excused anything. i'm saying that they most likely captioned his videos because they're fans. if they were in it for promo only, they'd go to something kpop related. i want to point out the likelihood of them being a fan because it's relevant to the impact

that this could have on a young person, esp if it's coming from someone they admire. sexualizing a celebrity isn't okay, but i feel like that doesn't really have anything to do with the issue at hand either. it's an issue for sure, but a side one.

i also feel like if they were looking for promo only, they wouldn't have said it wasn't them who did it once people found them. and him mentioning them most likely got them more attention than their self promo did.

Don't promote yourself on content you dont have the right to. Simple as that

Ahh, I had no idea they were 12. I'll be the first to admit I did plenty of dumb things at 12. Everyone needs to calm down, but to be fair, it does take outrage to get YouTube to respond these days

yeah, the person that the @ leads back to has claimed to be only 12. they've also claimed to not be the person who captioned the video, but i feel like that's something they did out of embarrassment/fear of being in the wrong, which makes sense if they're so young.

i totally understand his frustration, and i think it's valid, but i just feel like he could have handled it in a better way.

Unfortunately with the way YouTube is, they won't respond unless you make people angry.
