The fact that no one wants to talk about how creepy it is trying to coerce someone to facetime you when they don't want to. That's predatory behavior...so creepy.
@@riana8829 i hate facetime and when people try to force me to it makes me so uncomfortable and upset. james has so much power and is A HUHE PREDATOR:((( it makes me so sad lol i wish someone would just get him off socials
Bc of Adam I adopted this in my daily life and it happens most when I’m angry at my parents and it’s so fucking funny☠️a lot of ppl hate the dramatic pause and blank stare/ are you fucking joking face 😭
ppl forget that james tried to fly out a 14 year old to LA and then he accidentally acknowledged it by saying how he tried to fly out highschoolers (he quickly corrected himself by saying 18 year olds but i dont think of 18 year olds when i think of hs)(also adam the spicy coke was sooo good)
yes, it was on Logan Paul's podcast, where James also said that he "has a mentality of 40 y.o.". People also forget how he attempted to blackmail 18 yo tiktoker Ricky Murda.
I think James genuinely has the relationship maturity of a 13 year old. The whole “boyfriend application/criteria” comes off as a middle schooler talking. That’s why he’s consistently going after guys with little relationship experience with other guys (teenagers or straight guys) so he can feel like he’s the one in control
Honestly idc if it's a case of him being "led on" because it's not the first time he's been engaging with straight guys in the hopes of getting with them. Even if all of them were leading him on, it says so much about him that he keeps going after those people and entertaining them. Screams of desperation and insecurity
yeah like idc that the guy is straight and idc that james was “led on” or whatever. the issue is exactly what you said. he said himself he wouldn’t do this, yet here he is..
Thank you for cutting thought the BS excuses people are putting out there it’s so annoying when adults care more about there innocence then actual children
Honestly I think Peter Monn was very correct when he said James needs to introspect on why he is so dead set on having a boyfriend, why he isn’t okay being alone. The man needs (and has the money for) serious therapy. Even if it wasn’t illegal (this time) he is disrespecting boundaries again and again and it isn’t okay. Also love you Adam! I’m drinking alcohol so you can live through me (no way I can get through a James response sober) but I’m gonna try the spicy coke later!
This is the literal equivalent of a registered sex offender saying "yeah but the kid said they thought i was cool" it's still wrong and it's still something you supposedly acknowledged as wrong and said you'd commit to never do again.
@@LawNerdAmber The man was straight. That means as a responsible adult you should acknowledge that they DONT WANT SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC CONTACT. People have the right to say no on the basis of sexuality and to say otherwise is bigoted, harmful and outdated. No still means no. Sexuality is not an invalid reason to say no.
@@izznt nobody said sexuality isn’t a valid reason, but the man didn’t say no to james talking to him. yes james is creepy and should know better. in this situation, the straight man did not block james or express discomfort and kept responding.
9:32 honestly, I don’t even think it’s a problem to ask out straight men as a gay man! If he were to simply ask, “hey, would you wanna date me?” and then respected whatever the answer was then, no one would have an issue with this. James is being coercive and scary in these messages and that’s the problem. He’s basically putting David down and belittling him for not wanting to date him and that’s super weird.
"the way straight men love leading james charles on for their 5 minutes of fame--" uh maybe he shouldn't be chasing after men he knows are straight then, especially since this keeps happening
This just gives off the same vibes as the Ned Fulmer scandal. He wasn't fired because of the affair, it was THE POWER INBALANCE!! SAME THING HERE!! People aren't pissed off because he was having a sexual conversation with a straight man...THEY ARE MAD BECAUSE HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE POWER INBALANCE BEFORE AND IS STILL DOING IT!!
I agree with everything you're saying, but the other reason I don't care that straight guys are using James is that James knows that they're straight so he should just walk away, but doesn't. All the other times, he said that he was lied to about their age, but in several instances, the person told him that they were straight and he kept pushing! When someone says they are straight or that they're dating someone, you need to respect it and move the hell on!
Idc that James was led on cuz that’s literally something that can happen to anyone like thats a sucky part of dating, but the thing is James said he wouldn’t use his platform to find someone on Insta/tiktok AND THATS LITERALLY WAT HES DOING HERE so he hasn’t changed at all
All the stuff James said about a boyfriend being able to live in a big house for free and doing fun stuff is all shit a predator would think their target would want and try to use to lure them. Also James is not being led on and he knows that, hes entertaining men he knows are not attracted to him and getting mad when they don't reciprocate feelings. David is straight, James Charles wasn't led on he is just mistaking his kindness as flirting because he's desperate
EXACTLY THAT!!! If a guy talked to me like David was talking to James, I wouldn't think he was hitting on me, I would just think he was being nice and having a normal conversation 💀
the whole "hearting his messages and reciprocating" threw me bc it's possible that he was just uncomfortable and instead of saying that, he just felt the need to be nice in return. i know when i'm talking to some people and i'm uncomfortable i will just get complacent and be nice- sometimes it's just a instinct. even in davids case that if the instinct/anxiety/whatever didn't kick in and id still understand why he wouldn't want to upset james as he is an influencer (even tho he shouldn't be anymore bc god damn). and the fear of some kind of repercussions from james if he didn't just follow the narrative but either way i don't think the blame should be placed on david, as james made that video- claimed would do better and has utterly failed to do so. if only james would use a single brain cell to think about his actions instead of living in a delusion smh.
America is…..a place, yes. But if you live here long enough you grow to understand and appreciate people that do the right thing daily. Your overall coverage of these horrifically illegal and disgusting acts are always something to admire and appreciate. Words can’t really express how these videos make me feel. But, with people like you covering the ways of these evil monsters, I feel safer than ever knowing that they won’t last forever. You’re doing the right thing, Adam.
If your removed the genders and the sexual orientations, the problem would be the same: someone of status/power creeping in the fan club. And how this is the umpteenth time after saying I WONT DO THIS AGAIN! **Last time! ** Ok that was the last one!
As someone who has been horrible sexually harassed by a friend. You can say anything to someone who is desperate and they will come back very sexually. “you’re both great” is a compliment that doesn’t warrant him sending sexual messages or getting jealous. James himself called himself desperate. He does not care, he wants to attention and when he gets even a sliver of it, he becomes intensely sexual. it’s disgusting.
I think it's so insane to be like "he baited the conversation so he could post it!" Like, yeah....that's also what they do on To Catch a Predator....that's kinda the point? Why do they think that argument holds literally ANY water????
the fact that this man is literally that aggressive to people behind closed doors online is pretty scary once we see it all come to light. he hasn't changed AT ALL. like HOW does he STILL have freaking access to all these platforms after everything that's happened??? I genuinely don't understand and honestly never will.
even if that straight guy was entertaining james’ shenanigans, you’d think it’d be in James best interest to stop engaging with random men online considering this has happened like multiple times and with underaged ppl, and then he wonders why he’s always getting caught up and exposed for being a weirdo in ppls dms, he needs to get a job I fear
MY GOD!! It's so convenient that almost every tweet defending James seems to be ignoring his ENTIRE history 🙄 . Here's my thought on it. At this point, David's sexuality is irrelevant! The main issue is the power dynamic, James continually using other forms of social media like dating apps when he openly said he would stop doing that, and his toxic and immature response to rejection. Even if David did lead him on and was intending to expose James from the get-go, James made the choice to continue messaging David. He could have stopped at any time, but let it escalate to a point that DOES expose that he HAS NOT CHANGED! This is not an issue of homophobia. This is us trying to hold a predator responsible for his extremely dangerous and disgusting behavior.
i still think he talking to young boys and this is scary you cant make someone fall in love with you even if they getting “flown out” and “celebrity perks”
The way people so flippantly admit that James has a history of p word then go on defending his romantic actions THAT HAVE ALARMING SIMILARITIES is absurd to me
He's said before his type is "Straight guys" so him chasing all these dudes on the off chance he gets one curious needs to fucking stop. Any of these 'lead on' comments are BULLSHIT because he KNOWS they're straight. He goes into it KNOWING DAMN WELL. Being nice to someone doesn't equate to leading on. And frankly the comment the David guy made about them both being great is super polite and just a way to try and not choose a side because he was probably hella uncomfortable of this dude bringing up a girl he's been messaging like it's ANY of his damn business (it isn't) who she is. It's stalkery and weird. Imagine you aren't a big instagram messager and some guy you followed starts asking you about the other people you're following. (1 of 2? doesn't make it less weird he's asking about her) James needs to use grindr like everyone else if he's so desperate for a boyfriend and stop fishing for them in his insta and tiktok spaces. Edit: Also the fact he has the mode set to wipe the whole conversation. B y e. How many others is he chasing in DM's and it's just wiped so they have no proof? He's continuing a really shitty pattern. Even if the David guy was doing it for clout, who fucking cares. He continually does this and chases people he KNOWS won't want him, yet surprise pikachu faces any time it comes back he was being 'led on'.
Here’s what people don’t seem to be getting: there is no victim in this scenario. James said he understood why what he was doing (messaging fans) was wrong because there was an obvious power dynamic, but he continues to message randos online… like I got played by my ex boyfriend BIG time. He completely lied about everything including claiming he had graduated college when he hadn’t. When he did that, it seriously hindered my ability to trust. I can’t understand how James keeps doing this over and over and still thinks he’s a victim… Like… has James never heard the saying “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”? Either he realizes that whoever he’s talking to may be messing with him for clout and he plays along to play the victim or he really is naive. Either way, it’s sad to watch. James *really* needs someone in his life who will be honest with him about these behaviors, not apologists and yes men. He really, truly needs help. Therapy, counseling, etc. might be a good place to start so he can explore why he is apparently so desperate for love and affection that he will message any random person online who gives him the time of day.
literally everyone saying “he didn’t do anything wrong (this time) !!” is missing the massive point of HE’S CONTINUALLY USING HIS INFLUENCE/MONEY AS BAIT FOR GUYS THAT CLEARLY KNOW WHO HE IS WHETHER THEY’RE LEADING HIM ON OR NOT ?!? like omg
I remember him making advances towards Jeff and the Dolan twins in the past and then it happened many other times with so many others and when it came out, he tried to play the victim. It’s ridiculous. He reminds me of Logan Paul -someone who never learns from their mistakes and who is so privileged thinking the world revolves around them blah blah blah. I’m so over him. And for you and Peter Monn to call Manny out- THANK YOUU 😆👏🏼
Thhhhank you. Ain't no one saying the real issue like you just did. Like James did admit to doing this for sure twice. And even tho this boy isn't underage like James himself said he wouldn't use his platform and status to try to find guys. The OG reason tati was worried. Like giiirrrl this is who Jame is. Period
James needs to be careful cause if he pisses off the wrong guy, he could get beaten up or worse. It’s dangerous to date any strangers on line no matter which social media it is. 😳.
i'm bi and i'm sorry, but defending james isn't 'defending the community from straight guys', it's literally coming in defense of a p*do and THAT'S what makes us look bad james is everything that makes us look bad yeah, straight guys can be trash (i'll be the first to tell you lol) but using as a scapegoat and blaming everything on them and james charles is just a totally innocent victim isn't the serve people think it is either and if you don't think james is the problem why is he the only one being vIcTiM to this? there are a shit ton of influencers and celebrities who are gay or in the community why are we only hearing about jamess being 'tRiCkEd' by straight males?
So I'm from Alaska, and I was the manager of a tourist shop for a few years, and there was so many people from Texas who would come in to the store and get salted peanuts and Pepsi/Coke, and they'd Chug a little bit of the soda, then pour the salted peanuts into the soda bottle. One family bought some to make me try it, I gotta say, it wasn't bad, I just don't drink soda 🤣🤣🤷♀️
Fun fact: the salted peanuts in coke is actually a snack from the 1920s invented by workmen and tradesmen who didn’t want to dirty up their peanuts or drink with oily hands.
amongst all the other problems that make my uncomfy, i really hate the way he went about trying to manipulate him into facetime. explaining how he cant let people get to know him and it's a massive problem. jimothy are you his therapist 💀
Not me pausing the video and begging my gf to try tobasco and coke with me 😂 we have been doing dry January and we are OBSESSED with coke this month 😅 love you Adam!!! ❤❤❤ Ok edit: now that I’ve watched the video as another queer person to another THANK YOU for pointing out that it’s not “homophobia” to call our cringy/predatory behavior simply because it’s a gay man or woman doing it. I’ve been out since high school for close to a decade now, and I’ve never been so obsessed with straight people (or minors for that matter) and I find James Charles behavior so fucking weird. You’re really telling me you can’t find ONE SINGLE of age gay man to date you?! Sounds like a you problem 😅
The dms VALIDATE the boys that came out previously. just because james "didn't do anything wrong" in this situation doesn't negate that the prior victims had similar accounts he's literally proving to us that those boys who came out before were being honest about some of the interactions and THATS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! Not a straight guy baiting him, same argument p*dos make "the kid seduced me", no you were already doing something wrong and got caught.
It amazes me how so many people are calling us bigoted for calling out James. Honey, I’m bisexual and asexual, so if anyone knows the discrimination and stereotypes the LGBT community faces, it’s me. This is not an example of a gay man trying to have his life ruined simply because he’s gay, it’s a man (who happens to be gay) being called out for predatory behavior. I do not care what your gender, religion, sexuality, race, etc, is, you don’t get a free pass to do whatever you want because you are part of a minority group. If we give these people passes simply because they are part of our community, that makes us just as bad as them.
Another problem that these people who defend James Charles are ignoring is that it's not just that he's messaging guys that turn out to be straight. He's using his popularity as a bargaining chip in his quest for relationships AND he pressures people when they say no. Like David said he didn't want to facetime James and James responded with a video where he pressures David to facetime him anyway. I know for myself, if someone won't respect that I can't or don't want to video call them, I won't trust them to respect that I don't want to have sex with them. It's also not a good defense that he's sending the same sorts of messages that straight guys send, because he's sending the sorts of messages that end up on r/niceguys and it's a pattern of behavior that he's said he'll stop and he hasn't. Again, if this is what he's like on social media where people can screenshot and repost everything, what is he like behind closed doors?
It’s funny because people who are saying it’s homophobic to call out James Charles could be straight most people I have seen calling out James Charles are gay or bi men lmao
I just realized today that I haven't subscribed! I found you because of a colleen video and I was intrigued bc I used to be a huge fan of her. You are amazing at keeping people up to date and you are an amazing content creator. Thanks so much for everything Adam.
For real. Do a small rewatch of James video so people really get it. It's more then him sayin his desperate like he admitted to two. And deleted it. The second video at that! because in video one he tried to play it off. Video two he said he lied in video one and didn't stop. Like he ain't stopped.
I have a big issue with how James is trying to coerce a straight man into doing things with him. Once he was told that he was straight, James shouldn’t have continued the conversation, but instead tried to coerce him. It’s not okay.
My first time seeing one of your videos but I really like how you show the videos on your pc instead of on screen!! It feels more engaging in this format :]
I wish I'd known about the spicy coke sooner, it would have helped me with my cold! Definitely going to try this. I've been eating spicy ramen and buffalo chicken tenders and other things to help with congestion. 🧡
Thank you for speaking up,Everyone is blaming the straight guy,when James C.is the one who begs the straight guy for attention and more!ppl fill sorry for JC Like he would be the victim.. Disgusting
Okay, hear me out, all those calling out the homophobia are wrong. They are also perpetuating the idea that people can't be friends regardless of who they are attracted to. You are allowed to tell your friend, whose gender you are attracted to, that they are a great person without it being romantic. It's how friendship works. You lift one another up. The David guy telling James "you're great too" has NO romantic intentions in my opinion.
i agree with Matt though? the issue here is NOT making straight men uncomfortable and i thought we were agreeing on that..? so why is their tweet wrong?
Can straight ass people stop speaking on behalf of the LGTB+ community 🙌🙌🙌 I do not for a second see Janes Charles as a victim and its borderline dangerous to accuse the other man of taking advantage him considering the predatory technique James used to initiate the situation Being gay doesn't give you a pass to use you privilege to demand affection/attention... offering money and favors for sexual favors is SOLITICITATION. ITS A LITERAL CRIME. Just because he's a technically a minority doesn't mean he is a victim, blindly ignoring everything he's done wrong JUST BECAUSE he's gay. That's counteractive to our community and is damaging to our equality to be honest Bi-sexual female signing off
it's not easy to shut down a conversation with a celebrity or someone of a significantly higher social status than you regardless of the conversation or platform. James used his socials to antagonize and force conversations with people and it's fucked up regardless of sexuality and age but then when you add those other factors it just gets worse.
also the fact that people can point out men talk to women like that all the time? yeah and there's a whole other dynamic there of whether it's welcome or not. it is literally harassment if it's unwelcome and the only reason people don't clearly see that in a everyday scenario is because it's socially accepted and that's a completely different issue
People defending James really choose what to remember and what to give attention too, like "whatever his past allegations" GIRRRRLLLL WHAT HE DID AND DOES IS NOT "WHATEVER" wtf
At the end of day, he shouldn’t have a platform PERIOD. I cannot imagine if everyday I went online & saw strangers knowingly defending someone who hurt me/groomed me when I was a child. It’s his own fault that his reputation will always be tarnished. it’s his own fault that he is undeserving of the platform he worked hard to achieve. His mom and his friends will always love him and be there for him. His life wont be ruined if he removes himself from social media. It is so selfish that he continuously tries to use excuses and time to get away with things. Who the hell in their right mind continuously commits the same actions that supposedly got them into situation where they sexualized minors admittedly? People who don’t care or see anything wrong with their actions.

The way people so flippantly admit that James has a history of p word then go on defending his romantic actions THAT HAVE ALARMING SIMILARITIES is absurd to me
He's said before his type is "Straight guys" so him chasing all these dudes on the off chance he gets one curious needs to fucking stop. Any of these 'lead on' comments are BULLSHIT because he KNOWS they're straight. He goes into it KNOWING DAMN WELL. Being nice to someone doesn't equate to leading on. And frankly the comment the David guy made about them both being great is super polite and just a way to try and not choose a side because he was probably hella uncomfortable of this dude bringing up a girl he's been messaging like it's ANY of his damn business (it isn't) who she is. It's stalkery and weird. Imagine you aren't a big instagram messager and some guy you followed starts asking you about the other people you're following. (1 of 2? doesn't make it less weird he's asking about her) James needs to use grindr like everyone else if he's so desperate for a boyfriend and stop fishing for them in his insta and tiktok spaces.
Edit: Also the fact he has the mode set to wipe the whole conversation. B y e. How many others is he chasing in DM's and it's just wiped so they have no proof? He's continuing a really shitty pattern. Even if the David guy was doing it for clout, who fucking cares. He continually does this and chases people he KNOWS won't want him, yet surprise pikachu faces any time it comes back he was being 'led on'.
“IS THAT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF HIM FOR?? That is the standard!” Literally nailed it
Here’s what people don’t seem to be getting: there is no victim in this scenario. James said he understood why what he was doing (messaging fans) was wrong because there was an obvious power dynamic, but he continues to message randos online… like I got played by my ex boyfriend BIG time. He completely lied about everything including claiming he had graduated college when he hadn’t. When he did that, it seriously hindered my ability to trust. I can’t understand how James keeps doing this over and over and still thinks he’s a victim…
Like… has James never heard the saying “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”? Either he realizes that whoever he’s talking to may be messing with him for clout and he plays along to play the victim or he really is naive. Either way, it’s sad to watch. James *really* needs someone in his life who will be honest with him about these behaviors, not apologists and yes men. He really, truly needs help. Therapy, counseling, etc. might be a good place to start so he can explore why he is apparently so desperate for love and affection that he will message any random person online who gives him the time of day.
literally everyone saying “he didn’t do anything wrong (this time) !!” is missing the massive point of HE’S CONTINUALLY USING HIS INFLUENCE/MONEY AS BAIT FOR GUYS THAT CLEARLY KNOW WHO HE IS WHETHER THEY’RE LEADING HIM ON OR NOT ?!? like omg
I remember him making advances towards Jeff and the Dolan twins in the past and then it happened many other times with so many others and when it came out, he tried to play the victim. It’s ridiculous. He reminds me of Logan Paul -someone who never learns from their mistakes and who is so privileged thinking the world revolves around them blah blah blah. I’m so over him.
And for you and Peter Monn to call Manny out- THANK YOUU 😆👏🏼
Thhhhank you. Ain't no one saying the real issue like you just did. Like James did admit to doing this for sure twice. And even tho this boy isn't underage like James himself said he wouldn't use his platform and status to try to find guys. The OG reason tati was worried. Like giiirrrl this is who Jame is. Period
James needs to be careful cause if he pisses off the wrong guy, he could get beaten up or worse. It’s dangerous to date any strangers on line no matter which social media it is. 😳.
I mean that’s in him… he knows the risks
i'm bi and i'm sorry, but defending james isn't 'defending the community from straight guys', it's literally coming in defense of a p*do and THAT'S what makes us look bad
james is everything that makes us look bad
yeah, straight guys can be trash (i'll be the first to tell you lol) but using as a scapegoat and blaming everything on them and james charles is just a totally innocent victim isn't the serve people think it is either
and if you don't think james is the problem why is he the only one being vIcTiM to this? there are a shit ton of influencers and celebrities who are gay or in the community
why are we only hearing about jamess being 'tRiCkEd' by straight males?
"Good Ass" (artificial) absolutely savage Adam
I feel like both sides of the argument are right. It’s homophobic and it’s wrong of James
The funniest part about this is James acting like emojis couldn’t be used to portray tone 😂 that’s literally the point
i love how the people defending him are like ''yeah james has been a creepy weirdo in the past but THIS time he's innocent'' lmao
So I'm from Alaska, and I was the manager of a tourist shop for a few years, and there was so many people from Texas who would come in to the store and get salted peanuts and Pepsi/Coke, and they'd Chug a little bit of the soda, then pour the salted peanuts into the soda bottle. One family bought some to make me try it, I gotta say, it wasn't bad, I just don't drink soda 🤣🤣🤷♀️
Fun fact: the salted peanuts in coke is actually a snack from the 1920s invented by workmen and tradesmen who didn’t want to dirty up their peanuts or drink with oily hands.
amongst all the other problems that make my uncomfy, i really hate the way he went about trying to manipulate him into facetime. explaining how he cant let people get to know him and it's a massive problem. jimothy are you his therapist 💀
it literally sounds like james is trying to find a sugar baby lmao
Not me pausing the video and begging my gf to try tobasco and coke with me 😂 we have been doing dry January and we are OBSESSED with coke this month 😅 love you Adam!!! ❤❤❤
Ok edit: now that I’ve watched the video as another queer person to another THANK YOU for pointing out that it’s not “homophobia” to call our cringy/predatory behavior simply because it’s a gay man or woman doing it. I’ve been out since high school for close to a decade now, and I’ve never been so obsessed with straight people (or minors for that matter) and I find James Charles behavior so fucking weird. You’re really telling me you can’t find ONE SINGLE of age gay man to date you?! Sounds like a you problem 😅
The dms VALIDATE the boys that came out previously. just because james "didn't do anything wrong" in this situation doesn't negate that the prior victims had similar accounts he's literally proving to us that those boys who came out before were being honest about some of the interactions and THATS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! Not a straight guy baiting him, same argument p*dos make "the kid seduced me", no you were already doing something wrong and got caught.
It amazes me how so many people are calling us bigoted for calling out James. Honey, I’m bisexual and asexual, so if anyone knows the discrimination and stereotypes the LGBT community faces, it’s me. This is not an example of a gay man trying to have his life ruined simply because he’s gay, it’s a man (who happens to be gay) being called out for predatory behavior. I do not care what your gender, religion, sexuality, race, etc, is, you don’t get a free pass to do whatever you want because you are part of a minority group. If we give these people passes simply because they are part of our community, that makes us just as bad as them.
Another problem that these people who defend James Charles are ignoring is that it's not just that he's messaging guys that turn out to be straight. He's using his popularity as a bargaining chip in his quest for relationships AND he pressures people when they say no. Like David said he didn't want to facetime James and James responded with a video where he pressures David to facetime him anyway. I know for myself, if someone won't respect that I can't or don't want to video call them, I won't trust them to respect that I don't want to have sex with them. It's also not a good defense that he's sending the same sorts of messages that straight guys send, because he's sending the sorts of messages that end up on r/niceguys and it's a pattern of behavior that he's said he'll stop and he hasn't. Again, if this is what he's like on social media where people can screenshot and repost everything, what is he like behind closed doors?
I’m glad that you can see through the BS. Thanks for these videos. People need to wake up!
The very quiet “artificial” took me out 💀😂
You're 100%, I just don't like the screaming, watching this after midnight on big TV and my neighbors are not happy with the strength of your voice 😅
sorry❤️😭
If we're watching Adam, so are the neighbors 🤣
@@LawNerdAmber LMFAOOOO
The fact he uses his house as a perk is only going to attract people that want to take advantage of him. Like he’s so transactional it’s sad
It’s funny because people who are saying it’s homophobic to call out James Charles could be straight most people I have seen calling out James Charles are gay or bi men lmao
i love when you get all fired up hehe
ur right and u should say it!!!🥰
I bet that sister was pressured behind the scenes by James’ legal team to make that statement.
off topic but i’m obsessed with the hoodie😍
I just realized today that I haven't subscribed! I found you because of a colleen video and I was intrigued bc I used to be a huge fan of her. You are amazing at keeping people up to date and you are an amazing content creator. Thanks so much for everything Adam.
For real. Do a small rewatch of James video so people really get it. It's more then him sayin his desperate like he admitted to two. And deleted it. The second video at that! because in video one he tried to play it off. Video two he said he lied in video one and didn't stop.
Like he ain't stopped.
We have an issue with the power dynamic and repeated patterns why don’t ppl see it
The mumbling of “artificial” after him stating his ass is big is fucking killing me 💀😭🤣
If James Charles was straight this would still be an issue
if the guys he's talking to are 18+ i don't care. i just don't
The problem with that one tweet is just because that’s how men normally talk to women doesn’t make it right
Or okay…
I have a big issue with how James is trying to coerce a straight man into doing things with him. Once he was told that he was straight, James shouldn’t have continued the conversation, but instead tried to coerce him. It’s not okay.
My first time seeing one of your videos but I really like how you show the videos on your pc instead of on screen!! It feels more engaging in this format :]
thank you so much ❤️
I wish I'd known about the spicy coke sooner, it would have helped me with my cold! Definitely going to try this. I've been eating spicy ramen and buffalo chicken tenders and other things to help with congestion. 🧡
You are right on!!!!
Confused...why are we so pressed
Anyone who's still friends with James its hard to trust them.
Thank you for speaking up,Everyone is blaming the straight guy,when James C.is the one who begs the straight guy for attention and more!ppl fill sorry for JC Like he would be the victim.. Disgusting
Okay, hear me out, all those calling out the homophobia are wrong. They are also perpetuating the idea that people can't be friends regardless of who they are attracted to. You are allowed to tell your friend, whose gender you are attracted to, that they are a great person without it being romantic. It's how friendship works. You lift one another up. The David guy telling James "you're great too" has NO romantic intentions in my opinion.
Is just common sense and we 100% agree w u Adam !
Love your content, and the new dark roots with platinum hair! Great look!
i agree with Matt though? the issue here is NOT making straight men uncomfortable and i thought we were agreeing on that..? so why is their tweet wrong?
Go off Adam!!!!!!
Top tier mucker right here
I'm so disturbed that he's still doing this, that "apology" was a complete lie
I love and appreciate you😁😁😁
This video CRACKED ME UP OMFG
1000000% agree.
James needs to stop becuz this is givin another reason for homophobes to think that every1 is like james n thats messed up
I'm a subscriber so thank you, Adam! Love you so much 🤗
Well said 👏👏👏
Also people want to call him a clout chaser, WHAT IS THE SISTER??? She didn't have to involve herself in the situation
“I’m tired of making videos about this” like bro don’t make one then lol
I really need people to stop enabling this idiotic, inappropriate behavior with their philosophical bullcrap.
Off topic where did you get your hoodie I love it!
Can straight ass people stop speaking on behalf of the LGTB+ community 🙌🙌🙌
I do not for a second see Janes Charles as a victim and its borderline dangerous to accuse the other man of taking advantage him considering the predatory technique James used to initiate the situation
Being gay doesn't give you a pass to use you privilege to demand affection/attention... offering money and favors for sexual favors is SOLITICITATION. ITS A LITERAL CRIME.
Just because he's a technically a minority doesn't mean he is a victim, blindly ignoring everything he's done wrong JUST BECAUSE he's gay. That's counteractive to our community and is damaging to our equality to be honest
Bi-sexual female signing off
yess 100% agreed!! james is also definitely not a minor anymore, pretty sure he’s 21 or 22.
Ogs remember the Red Bull phase he had
it's not easy to shut down a conversation with a celebrity or someone of a significantly higher social status than you regardless of the conversation or platform. James used his socials to antagonize and force conversations with people and it's fucked up regardless of sexuality and age but then when you add those other factors it just gets worse.
also the fact that people can point out men talk to women like that all the time? yeah and there's a whole other dynamic there of whether it's welcome or not. it is literally harassment if it's unwelcome and the only reason people don't clearly see that in a everyday scenario is because it's socially accepted and that's a completely different issue
People defending James really choose what to remember and what to give attention too, like "whatever his past allegations" GIRRRRLLLL WHAT HE DID AND DOES IS NOT "WHATEVER" wtf
“He can’t keep getting away with this!!”
People choose to be blind..
19:46 you look so done, I can't stop laughing 💀💀💀
At the end of day, he shouldn’t have a platform PERIOD. I cannot imagine if everyday I went online & saw strangers knowingly defending someone who hurt me/groomed me when I was a child. It’s his own fault that his reputation will always be tarnished. it’s his own fault that he is undeserving of the platform he worked hard to achieve. His mom and his friends will always love him and be there for him. His life wont be ruined if he removes himself from social media. It is so selfish that he continuously tries to use excuses and time to get away with things. Who the hell in their right mind continuously commits the same actions that supposedly got them into situation where they sexualized minors admittedly? People who don’t care or see anything wrong with their actions.
I agree with you 100% this is just getting sad for him
I love you and your channel Adam!!! 🫶🏼😘💞🖤 James needs to keep quiet and bounce.
