    I'm vietnamese and hearing rice's mom talk about him in vietnamese shows how dissapointed she is with him. She probably went to america with little to no english skills looking for a better life. Chances are she had nothing when she came so it must be devastating to see her son throw money around like it's nothing.

      Oh cool, I've been hoping to hear from someone who speaks the language. Do you find the subtitles for his mother to be accurate? Also, there is a section at the 5 minutes and 3 seconds mark of RiceGum's "MOM BEATS ME UP FOR BUYING $100 UNDERWEAR" video where he doesn't subtitle and he gulps nervously; it looks like she startled him. What does she say there? Thanks in advance, if you feel like sitting through that :)

    • @lukenguyen7674
      @lukenguyen7674 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1798

      His subtitles are pretty accurate but i don't think it shows how dissapointed she is. In the underwear video she said: "go return it, why are you bragging to me about a 75$ underwear, why are you wasting my money". I guess he was left speechless by how mad she was and he couldn't tell her that he was flexing, therefore revealing to her that he has spent more money on more stupid shit. Love the content btw, keep it up !

    Just gonna clear up some translations because ricegum's manipulates these so much and I'm Vietnamese.
    What ricegum's mom said more accuratly translates to "why did you have to buy that?" Which in my opinion is even worst.
    She also didn't say why are you wasting money, she is asking him why money is so meaningless to him.
    She is pretty pissed that her son trys to piss her off on purpose.
    The one that's pisses me off the most is how his mom just doesn't want him to call her when he buys expensive items and he acts like his mom is a bad person on the translation.

      Man what a dick. I won't even say he's wrong or stupid for buying stupid expensive shit, I mean it's his money and he made it and it came easily so whatever, waste it if you want dude that's fine. But why go out of your way to make sure your mom knows how much you're wasting and is upset about it? Why not just buy the shit and enjoy it and let her be blissfully unaware and secure in the fact that you are at least currently feeding, clothing, and sheltering yourself quite effectively?

      Also, she DID NOT SWEAR when she talked to him. Viet moms don’t do that because they don’t want to be bad influences to their kids. I pissed me off that he tried to make her sound malicious. And what she said at the end ‘(When you) call (to talk about things like that), it hurts me and I cannot sleep.’ I mean, dude come on.

    EDIT: HOLY CRAP I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS COMMENT WENT OFF, couple of things i wanted to clear up
    1) yes, he translated it, but it's not really the right translation. he translates her in a "gangster" kind of fashion

      ningis Doesn't mean it gives you a free pass of being such a grade-A asshole to the person who gave birth and raised you from dirt. Ricegum should've know this, but considering how much of an entitled brat he is, it's no surprise how he ended up being such a disappointment to his own mother.

      @@mfThump I guess that's a reason to feel sympathy towards him if that were the case.
      But even considering that, he still feels like a young child who is trying to rub his expensive things onto someone he feels is lower than him.
      Even in her replies (which he poorly translated as well as giving her a more malicious tone), she is worried for him because of the amount he spends. Which tells me something about how he was treated at a younger age.
      This just makes me think that he simply did not get everything he wanted as a child and became angry over it.

He's actually flexing on a woman who makes just above minimum wage; and additionally, if that was the only income in the family (which I hope it isn't, because this poor woman has obviously been through enough), that is not very far above the poverty line. Like, close enough to the poverty line that a back injury that put her out of work for a month would put her below the poverty line.

    I kinda feel bad for rice's mom, she probably came from a family who didn't have alot of money, enough money to get by but not enough to get nice things. She then came to America to like make something of herself, to have a nice job and a family who she cares a lot for. And after all this after all the hardhsips she went through she's know the mother of a kid who doesn't understand the value of money, a kid who doens't know that all his money can be gone in an instant.
    That's why she probably tells him to become a doctor, because she knows that one day his youtube career will be over.

      She's Vietnamese, has low wages, and lives in the west US, so most likely she's South Vietnamese and came here with no money to live a better life after the communists took over Vietnam. She's seen war and the power of brainwashing/selective education, so she wants her son to go through all his education in a good place.
      Now her son is constantly wasting money and being a horrible influence to kids. She must be one of the most disappointed parents of TH-camrs.

But pls know that your misunderstanding could teach some impressionable young mind the wrong idea of history ...
      For Example The people who leave VN after the revolution was mostly rich and well off NO one in the lower class: factory worker, farmer would ever go to refugee from the north VN when they are trying to free them, they would fly or board passenger ship i cant even find any of the thing you mention and even so alots of VN people will go study abroad and find work opportunity outside if they are talented, rice mom could have been born in america and have VN parent or come to work there before give birth to Rice

    For me the saddest part while he was flexing on his mom was when she asked if that was all he hd to say to her. Like, imagine working so hard for the majority of your life so you can give your kid a better life, and then when your kid finally gets big, all they wanna call you for is to upset you. I wonder what she was hoping he might call her about. Maybe to tell her about how things were going, or ask how things were going for her? Maybe see if she wanted to spend some time together or give her some money so she could finally retire? Or even just hoping he would say that he appreciated all she did for him and that he loved her?
    As I grow older I realize just how much parents appreciate when their kids do things like that. I’m sure if the only thing I ever wanted to talk to my parents about is how I can waste so much money now, they’d be quite heartbroken by it. That’s what I get when I see that section of the video.

If she can use this humiliating moment where someone she looks up to asked her if being raped "felt good" to mask that it didn't hurt and only empowered her more, it might just make that trauma hurt less.

    Why he's even relevant still is beyond me. he ridiculed a rape survivor and basically shared the idea she wants it to everyone ON HIS MASSIVE PLATFORM. Hes excusing not only rape but belittled her as a human being and treated her like a prop and object for his entertainment. This is how aggressive abusers can form.
    Thank you so much for this video, it really covers the topic properly and puts things into perspective for individuals who haven't experienced sexual assault or don't understand psychology. I've always been a big fan but I can't thank you enough for using your platform to say all the things I wanted to say about this situation as a survivor.

    That women is NOT acting,you can tell pretty clearly by her gaze and demeanor ,that shes very ashamed of hes son behaviour abd feels awfull to have raised such a piece of shit person.
    She probably struggled a lot when she was young to prosper and move to America just to see her child act like absolute shit ,being wastefull and unrespectfull besides superficial and meaningless.

He only has like three lines of original points and in all of those he only makes himself look dumb. The rest of the song is him flexing about the same shit he usually flexes. Oh and he repeats a part of his diss (he probably did it as a chorus, but it just seems lazy since it only comes up one time before the beat cuts).

I didn’t know what to do and I just let my mouth talk for me rather than thinking about it. Im ashamed of myself for that and I’m incredibly sorry to not only her but to you guys... blah blah blah."
    In fact, if he had just made a video accepting his shitty behaviour and (truthfully) say he's going to try and change his ways to become a better person and that he's just a dumb idiot that can't think about his actions like a fucking adult...

      Honestly, his point of "people change, that was 2 years ago" was actually good enough to at least somewhat get him off the hook. Not completely, but it would have at least lessened the negative impact. But no, he had to completely backtrack, it goes from "People grow up, I'm sorry for what I did 2 years ago" to "By the way, look at what iDubbbz did years ago, what I did was fine because others have changed too".
      It's like he asked others for actual, legitimate points to counter iDubbbz, but tried coming up with everything himself, so certain points were decent enough, while everything in-between was just bad

      What evidence do you have she wasn't raped? None. If you had any, you'd have pointed it out already. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of women who work as exotic dancers have experienced some kind of sexual violation in their life. Based on statistics alone, its extremely likely her story is the truth. You're just a Ricegum fanboy (as evidenced by your barely literate brand of communication); so you make excuses for his douchebag behavior. The irony in your shitty attempt to defend him is IF Ricegum wrote that as a script, then he is that much more of an asshole. Not less. Then this wasn't spontaneous stupid shit that he said without thinking. A script would mean he put thought into this and that's the way he CHOSE to portray himself. According to you, after careful consideration, Ricegum decided it was a good idea to make light of the experience of being a rape victim.
      Any way you look at this, he is a terrible human being. Unless you're a blindly loyal, starry-eyed fan apparently. Enjoy your mom's basement, Catnium.

    Late as hell to this or not, its actually pretty upsetting looking at his mom’s reaction. You can see the true disappointment in her eyes and the realization that she truly did fail as a parent, independent of how hard she tried.

      fuk twelve your knee jerk reaction to any topic on ricegum is to go hard and put down anyone who dissents with his life choices?
      TH-cam success if fickle. Rice is making enough cash that all he has to do is put away a few millions and he'll never have to worry about taking care of his parents or his own future and can then spend willynilly. Instead he's blowing half of what he gets on empty things to try and reaffirm that he's successful. It reeks of insecurity and bad life choices. If it wasn't for how much this was clearly hurting his mother I would be fine not giving a damn about his choices.
      Plenty of people waste their opportunity every year, the audience that watches him will grow out of him sooner or later and at that point he's either going to have savings or get a job. He could live easy with some self control or continue to buy needlessly over priced gucci.

    If he is so rich why is his mother who looks like she is in her mid 60's still working for 2.5k a month? That's pretty much minimum in California. I don't get it. He could have put so much into a fund or investments and have her mom set for life, on the interest.

      There are, however, musicians who transitioned onto TH-cam. Boyinaband is an example. YMS has been a member of his indie band An Unkindness since around 2010, which is about when he started the series YourMovieSucks, and likely well before his channel got popular. So he semi-counts, I guess. One of his songs actually ended up getting spotted on TH-cam and picked up by Blondie on one of their albums, so he technically has a writing credit on a professionally performed song.

    • @AllTheArtsy
      @AllTheArtsy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      Troye Sivan is probably the only true TH-camr, aside from Bo Burnham, but Bo is more of a comic who uses music in his standup. But Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Tori Kelly, 5 Seconds of Summer, Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes, James Bay, Alessia Cara, Halsey, and many more got started by just uploading their covers online and then being noticed by a newspaper or a talk show.

    • @49short
      @49short 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      All The Artsy yea, but I think the main difference between Joji and all of them is that Joji was a TH-camr in the sense that he made videos, played characters, wrote skits, etc. whereas people like Justin Beiber or Carly Rae Jepson were musicians who uploaded them playing music on TH-cam and were “discovered” by the industry. Joji quit making videos and completely switched gears to make music. Even the music he made for his TH-cam was completely different that the stuff he makes as a professional musician. That’s where he differs even from people like Jared Dines or Sarah Longfield who make content around the fact that they’re musicians so starting bands is just the next logical step for them.

I think that you and most of the people who commented on this thread are penis obsessed fuckboys who think that a girl would be all over you if only your penis wasn’t so pathetic. Well, you’re wrong, they wouldn’t want to be around you anyway.

    I’ve been in a weird position. I was only touched and told all these really weird things like “you remind me of my dead wife.” And “ I love you” and a bunch of other really personal things. I wasn’t raped but something was definitely going on. He was my math tutor so I was confused why this was getting less professional and why he would force me to hug him and he would kiss my cheek for an uncomfortable amount of time. I didn’t say anything for a while. I kept telling myself I’m overthinking this or I’m over reacting. When I talked to my friend who went to him as well she told me this didn’t happen to her. I thought that was weird. I still didn’t say anything though. I kept telling myself if he takes it further, or reasoning out his weird behavior. Eventually he was getting closer and closer to uncomfortable spots and he kept on kissing my cheek for longer even when I told him it made me uncomfortable. Soon went to a therapist for another thing and I really wasn’t going to say anything but I honestly was just so done with being so uncomfortable. I thought my parents would be mad at me, or say that I made it up. When I told my therapist she asked if I wanted to tell my parents and I asked if she could do it for me. To my surprise my parents where very understanding and let me not go to him anymore. I used to think that if I was in a situation like that I would be able to speak up. It’s really not that easy. Its embarrassing and I felt like part of it was my fault.
