As someone who was obsessed with the ayame + yuval series, I respect the decision to end our delusion. It served a great cause and was incredibly entertaining. Looking forward to your future content 🏆
This is a fantastic take and exactly how I feel lol. I was leaning into the delusion of it all because it was fun but I didn’t realize how serious others were taking it. Glad it ended because if they kept going people wouldn’t be able to separate the content from reality
@marcelus4848 confirmed it was a bit. Yuval actually had the idea of her flirting with the bartender (i think maybe her producer idk i was half in and out on who she was referring to with it was his idea). He was absolutely 100% in on it, was in contact wjth her production the whole time. She was enamoured by him obviously but it wasn't a realistic thing and they're now friends.
I think the negative comments speak volumes about people’s inability to separate real from fake and parasocial relationships. If they were genuine fans of the individual people and their content rather than the idea of a romantic relationship , the jokes wouldn’t have flown over their heads like they did
all of these “yall are gullible, the joke flew over your head, how are you so stupid to not get it” commebts are so ableist lmao. theres so many of us autistic people out here that simply have no reason to feel otherwise, it looks genuine to us and so we are confused and concerned when the very public dynamic has suddenly become disrespectful - because thats what it looked like, it rubs people the wrong way
I don't agree with shaming people for not assuming it was fake, but I think folks are more angry at those who both didn't know + attacked her. THAT'S the actual reason this video was made. I don't see a defense for that.
@@lauren-mh6is Don't you dare use the autistic card to cover your own stupidity. Don't you even DARE to talk about ableism, you are in your delusional era and you thought this was bridgerton when the whole point is that Ayame is a comedian, they said several times it was all a joke but you chose to ignore it. you chose to ignore that even in your twisted imagination two grown adult would...film themselves on their first date?! Being autistic is not being stupid, so fix that stupidity of yours or get lost.
@@lauren-mh6is i get that a lot of these comments can be ableist but when they've made it clear that all of it is a skit. They both said it in the podcast ep that they ere simply friends and in many of the tik toks it as made clear to be for charity after the series raked in views and even if you didn't see any of those the date video said EP 1 as in episode , show, produced. Also the main point isn't even that its that yall quite literally sat there like keyboard warriors (like i am now) typing up a storm attacking her telling them how to an how not to feel which absurd even if you have autism.
@@lauren-mh6is don't you DARE use autism as an excuse. Autism doesn't make you stupid, it doesn't make you not hear the several times where they both said they had extremely different lives and interests, it doesn't make you point fingers at Ayame because "she trester Yuval badly gnee gneee". Try to find another excuse or accept the responsibility of you not picking up on crystal clear clues.
So strange people were genuinely upset. I thought the bartender was funny. You would think people would catch on with how produced y’all’s interactions were. Just a fun internet moment!!
ngl i really do think a lot yall give wayyy too much to the general public in terms of “ they shouldve known “ most people are extremely isolated n gullible because of social media with things like this or really anything that triggers emotions , i dont think anyone shouldve directed their emotions at ayame or yuval at all but i also feel its weird to play still play into it after u see people being weird n possessive, like in the first episode people was saying she’s yuval’s . i feel like the general public is right to feel a type of way but not react poorly on that feeling
@@braidenfriday2389 it’s fine to feel disappointment, but it’s your own responsibility on how you manage it. At the end of the day, it’s people upset that this internet relationship isn’t real. Imo that’s not a big deal or anything to be more than briefly sad about, whether you believed it or not. Other people’s relationships doesn’t impact anything serious or anyone personally.
@@thursdaygirl7 exactly my point , i think that the way people feel is fine but again like u and i say reacting in a hostile way is not how u handle it , i preciate u bein more eloquent than me 😂
I was entertained, don’t beat yourself up about it. You raised money for charity, raised awareness for an incredible cause, and made a friend. The people who can’t differentiate from produced content and reality need to go outside, touch grass, reconnect with reality and learn about the cause you were fundraising for 🇵🇸
I honestly think people need to be so careful with their parasocial relationships. I’m sorry you got abuse from this, I hope you and Yuval are both okay.
@@max9411 ya, ✨abusive comments✨ completely out of proportion to the situation. But, benefit of the doubt, possibly you didn’t see the ones suggesting Ayamé has a personality disorder, among other things.
@@jesspopps oh no, comments on the internet on the fake prank video she made 😲 I hope she's ok 😭😭😭 Like other people have said, it's not real drama as it was all a joke by her, so the comments are similar.
It’s the same thing like when people send death threats to actors who play villains on tv . People need to get a grip on reality. You guys helped save multiple families and have gotten so much money raised ! Everything you did was for the greater good and I thank you for the fun engagement !
Not that you even needed to do a 30 minute video proving to be a decent human being. But you still did. You’re a credit to social media, darling. Sending so much love. ❤
Only on the internet can people not tell the difference between a skit/internet personality and real life. Surely people are not that stupid to be able to tell the difference.
I think it sadly has less to do with stupidity and more to do with the fact that people are living through others.......what they lack in their personal lives they seek in influencers to fill the void. It's unhealthy.....😅
But they are. Thats why reality tv has taken off the way it has. People genuinely cannot fathom that entertainment is exactly what it is, entertainment
@@smome7773 This part!!! What I found myself noticing was people were living vicariously through Ayame. Which is cute and all except when she was being partially herself and partially her CHARACTER, people were really mad. And they weren't like "oh this joke wasn't funny" they were like "how DARE you treat him like this?" I even saw someone say they would be so lucky to be with Yuval. Like god damn, she is not obligated to operate exactly how you would and especially not in a fictional relationship.
No I think it’s more that they confirmed it wasn’t a skit in the episode before but it’s not nice to see Ayamé upset, so I think we should lead with precaution in future when critiquing influencers because tbf, it is their job to entertain… her wider audience was however, none the wiser based on the previous info which maybe felt like being cheated? Idk
Aw Ayame. Please don't be sad ❤️ I think the reaction to you and Yuval was so much bigger than anyone could have anticipated. I'm glad you and Yuval have made a friendship out of it and you can tell you worked hard on all of it. Please don't be disheartened lovely ❤️
Thank you for speaking about this,i was literally just watching the "Get Tipsy" episode and reading the comments,and I'm glad you're actually talking about this, especially with all the backlash. ❤
This is actually wild. I watched both vids and thought it was super silly and cute… without going back to watch it again and read comments I don’t even know what people would have to say… genuinely confused
The way people have reacted to this whole series has been deeply unsettling tbh. I dont throw out "parasocial" relationships lightly but the level of investment people had in strangers love lives felt unhealthy. So sorry this fun light hearted skit ended in tears, you were doing your best to bring us fun content
For real, it wasn't until the youtube videos came out I realised people thought it was anything but a fun way to fundraise and they weren't an actual couple.
I really hope Yuval, being your friend and all, can come back on the pod or other content of yours and that this hasnt ruined it. I actually love your dynamic so much regardless of how genuine it is, and his personality is so fun to watch. Whatever happens, i still love you and your content 🧡
I really enjoyed both episodes with Yuval, but the Get Tipsy one just really made me appreciate how much effort had been put into this whole thing. Crazy that some people still hadn't picked up on this just being a bit of fun!
When she did Get Tipsy I saw it as her launching her new Chicken Shop Date type of show. Yes I came for the cute fun of their dynamic but I took it as work. A new project. It was literally titled EP 1.
@judysm95 yeah it's such a fun format and them both laughing with the bartender was so obvious it was all just a joke! Sounds like they went to a lot of effort to make Yuval comfortable as well
What I found to be the most weird was all these comments acting like Yuval was so heartbroken and saying Ayame "blew" it and all this conjecture about Yuval being upset or uncomfortable with Ayame. If I were Yuval I'd be so insecure by those comments. He shared on the podcast that he is more socially awkward than her and I think a sketch of that nature would make him understandably nervous regardless of the plot. The fact people were so uncharitable to Ayame and over protective of Yuval was just...wild. I'm sad that this feels like an apology. You don't owe an apology because people didn't like a video!
I noticed that too! I wonder if it would be an overstatement to say that misogyny could be involved in the general reaction to the "Get Tipsy" video because that's what it's looking like.
@@cocodahlias I considered that too but I'm not sure. Like, if it were a woman bartender and she were playing the same role towards Yuval and he responded how Ayame did, I think people would be mad. But that's also wildly out of character so maybe it would give the clue that it was a sketch. I don't know! I definitely think people feel extremely comfortable telling women how they SHOULD operate in a relationship setting. Maybe that was at play here, maybe that wasn't!
@@cocodahlias I've observed an influx of the comments about Ayamé blowing it, coming mostly from women. I was feeling a certain sort of projection? (Not sure if that's the word I'm looking for.) A type of parasocial expectation of things going well? Or how they wanted it to go? Like how people might watch Twilight and go, "No Bella! Don't do that! Do this instead!! Ahhhh! She's so stupid." Or family vlog channels or even the video game series 'The Sims' comes to mind.
@@amakaaja1783 I agree with you. I should've been clearer in my reply. I thought that the comments showcasing internalized misogyny instead, was worth pointing out. Cause that's so much worse than just some dudes glazing Yuval and blaming Ayamé, as we'd come to expect.
The three of you (and all involved) told an amazing, enthralling story that people LOVE, and inevitably people will be disappointed no matter how it ends. I hope you all are able to feel proud of what you've accomplished, and give yourselves grace for doing what you could to handle the insane surge of interest and opportunity that fell on you. Incredible work, all of you.
I will always be proud of you two for raising money AND awareness. This is something we’ve been begging celebrities and other influencers to do and they’ve refused. I hope you are proud of yourself for what you’ve done! I’m so happy I was able to add to your fundraising by engaging with these videos. I watched your whole podcast as a result of the one with yuval, and I’m so excited for season two!
I am really confused. How did you all actually think that this “relationship” was for real? It’s like thinking that two leads in a romantic comedy who are ACTORS , will get together just cause they can make the relationship look realistic. Of course sometimes actors end up together but veeeery rarely! I enjoyed the whole thing for what it was and bravo to them pulling it off and earning so much money for charity on the way. ❤
Those comments were genuinely soo RUDE. so what if yuval and ayame didn't magically hit it off and have a happy ending or something? People this this not bridgerton this is real life! Not all conversations have to contribute to the "plot". What they are doing is amazing and in here for it. That's all.🎀
In what possible fucking way am I stupid? I'm sorry they were very believable. Btw I'm not mad at all that it wasn't real. I'm just mad at people saying I'm stupid for not picking up on it
@@ibpersonthe entire way through it was clearly a joke there is no way they would seriously fall in love it was all done through production and planning
Dont beat yourself up, the Yuval content was camp as tits and most of us enjoyed it in my opinion. You’ve cleared the air totally and any lingering distaste will surely fade, don’t let this silly moment ruin such a triumph for your channel because that’s how I see it. You raised so much money and entertained so many people despite what a few lame ppl had to say. You’re winning Ayame!!!! We love you ❤❤❤
Wow, I mean beyond what’s already been said in the comments, this was clearly partially inspired by Chicken Shop Date which is meant to be awkward and cheeky. Also, Ayame literally said in the podcast that she is her own person. How do you become a fan of someone and then miss a statement like that
You can’t always give everyone what they want and there will always be people who want things to go differently, especially with how passionate people were and are about the series. You did incredible things by making into a fundraiser and you make me laugh every time you appear on my feed even when it’s just reacting to people chucking bottles down stairs 😂😂
I think from the video of Oliver reading Yuval's letter I had a good feeling that it was just for content, but the ride was still amazing. The three of you did some real good in the world, and I hope you are so proud of what you accomplished! You've gained a follower and fan for life! ❤
I was so entertained by this in a Soap Opera type of way. I loved the cinema and drama of it all while not forgetting that y’all are real people with real lives. Thank you for doing this for us and I’m glad you did. 💜😊✨ Seeing drama + fund raising filled me up in a different way than most content creators do.
I really enjoyed the Get Tipsy video! My husband and I found it highly entertaining. The extrovert/introvert dynamic between Ayame and Yuval was fascinating, and Ayame did a fantastic job trying to get Yuval out of his shell/comfort zone. It’s a shame the video wasn’t well-received because we would have loved to see more, even in a nonromantic capacity. Ayame, I truly appreciate everything you do, and it’s unfortunate that some people couldn’t recognize the effort and positivity you brought to the video 🤍
Incompatibility is not a bad word. I think the issue with parasocial relationships is that its not like reading fan fiction. I read the vibes after the 1st podcast episode (so I never even watched Get Tipsy ep but saw some TikToks about it). I've never felt the need to leave hate. Im not sure why people can't just also understand that you are REAL human beings. Doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
from the jump she was being all "I love you" and you could tell Yuval was not reciprocating that lol. I highly doubt she'd ever say that genuinely to a guy she just met! I was like, this will be a fun quirky time. The fan fiction comparison is spot on.
I never comment on videos but just feel so called to say - I have absolutely loved every moment you and Yuval created for us over the last 5? 6?! months. Truly my favorite corner of the internet. You are such a gem. Keep shining, keep flirting (lmao). Thank you for showing up the way you do. Sending you so much love. It's been a true joy.
This whole thing, including this video, has been THE best thing online.. i think ever. You raised over half a million for Palestine, you entertained us, kept us hooked, and you were real about the difficulties of it. Just perfect. I really respect all three of you and i believe You Ayame will be huge! Much love from Finland.
you're a good person and people will constantly try to pick at things!! thank you for always speaking up about real issues and speaking up for people that deserve a voice
genuinely so uncomfortable to see how many people do not realize that there is a difference between social media and real life... life it's clearly just for fun no? And at any point it turned serious, as if we'd hear about right away. They'd be private about it at first like any one in their right mind would
It was not clear at all, and no I didn't think they just immediately decided to announce. I figured they had been together before the first Tiktok, but soft launched it
@@ibperson This reads like parasocial expectations from being chronically online. As in, you've observed similar instances of social media relationships before and gotten invested, like this, before. That's not on them.
@@ibperson you thought two people who hadn't met or spoken directly to each other until they filmed the podcast episode were genuinely in love with each other?
@@yokoohellno I never watched the pod, so if they said it there then I would've known, but other than that, it was not obvious they hadn't talked. I fully thought they had been together for months
Back in like 2015 in the Philippines there was a live noontime show that did a similar thing. There was a newcomer to the show who had a crush on one of the established hosts and the crowd (including me) ATE THAT SHIT UP. So the producers ran with it, for a solid year or year and a half. There were elements of reality like using their real names but the whole thing was definitely still fiction. Fans were just as delusional, there are some fans who still believe that those two people are married and in love. And they get HELLA rude and nasty to anyone who tries to bring them back to reality, including the actors who were involved in the whole story. All of this to say, you, your team, Yuvall, and even Oliver pulled off an AWESOME story that swept people away. Much like the noontime show in the Philippines, fans just get WAY too emotionally involved with it and don’t know how to cope with it all. You all did your jobs extremely well and made a captivating story, and (most importantly) for a good cause. I really really hope the loud minority of people don’t take away the pride you should feel with this cinematic experience you were able to create.
You're talking about AlDub right? If so then you're so right because I've been comparing YuvAmé to AlDub ever since the meetup and because of my experience with it, I could kind of gauge how much of YuvAmé was genuine and how much of it was really just for fun. I think since a lot of people who were into this whole thing aren't as familiar with how Filipino loveteams work, something like YuvAmé definitely hooked them into thinking something more could blossom, but all the hate comments against Ayamé were just too much
@@cocodahlias yes AlDub!!!! And you’re spot on about gauging the fun vs genuine cause the Filipino audience have had tons of training with how much the industry pushes loveteams. We still eat it up and sometimes be a little delulu with certain duos, but it’s not novel to us by any means unlike most of the people whose first experience with something like this was YuvAmé. So annoying that people took something fun and rewarding to instead hate on Ayamé 😕
I will always commend y’all for turning attentions to people in need. I’m sorry you’ve been hurt in the process. You’re doing great things for the world.
I loved the whole thing, it gave major fleabag vibes. Especially you breaking the fourth wall constantly! You created an amazing series with Yuval and Oliver. It was played so well and it’s a shame people couldn’t see that it was a production, but it’s testament to how well you all played in and how well planned everything was. Also the fact you managed to fundraise and help so many people is a huge achievement in itself and I know a lot of main stream media personalities wouldn’t have been able to achieve that.
You could tell you put your real emotions into it, and used it to create the story. And I think people don’t understand that real life isn’t a book and sometimes people might be great on the page together but in real life aren’t compatible in a romantic way. And it’s a shame you have had to deal with people being sad or upset but it’s not on you. You are a real person with a real life and deserve to have real emotions
Warning: this is a rant! Commenting this because while I am a fan I feel a lot of people need a bit of a wake up call… so news flash: it was never going to be real. This entire situation was content. Like they’re entertainers here to make content nothing more unless explicitly stated otherwise. So this whole parasocial I hope they get together sentiment is extremely toxic and parasocial. They’re two real people not fictional characters you can just ship. And the fact you couldn’t even imagine these skits or videos were satirical? Like please it’s not hard to see. Please get a grip because you’ve just made one of your favorite creators cry on camera, for what?
lol hey autism exists and satire is, in fact, hard to see. fuck the hate comments but you should stop living in a closed off bubble where only neurotypical people exist to you, sick and tired of seeing the entire community indirectly get called stupid because we cannot read social interactions the same way you can.
It's a shame that people made this weird and uncomfortable for Ayame, but I've had a rough time lately and this consistently put a smile on my face. Getting a proper finale with hours of funny content is way more than I ever hoped for. Did people expect these two real people to turn their lives into a rom com or something?
I really love and appreciate your honesty, and it takes so much courage to be seen Ayame. No one saying bad things to you can take being seen to the level that you’re being seen. You’re amazing! Keep going ❤
Look, even if I preferred the podcast ep to the tipsy video, I am absolutely not disappointed about it, about you or Yuval, or about the whole "storyline". We got literally weeks of entertainment and suspense, plus raising all that money is something to be so proud of. I never doubted that you guys had good intentions, and whether this was a real relationship or not, I knew you were ultimately doing it for a good cause and that alone was worth it. Thanks for clarifying the situation, but mostly, thanks for the ride these past weeks.
I have to admit I’m so surprised!! Ayamé, those videos were so, so funny and well made (and how I discovered your channel, actually). You can really tell that so much hard work went into producing them both. Also the interactions between you and the bartender had me CACKLING. Also, also: You breaking the 4th wall in your videos and looking in the camera always has me screaming. lol Obviously this is like surreal reality-tv-esque type of content. Maybe some people just didn’t get/understand that?
I followed you and yuval separately before this, this has been so fun and done a lot of good. And I liked the video and the bartender bit lol. I'm excited to see what you do next 💚
Ayame, regardless of what people thought about the get tipsy video, as an Arab I appreciate the fundraisers you raised for Palestine❤️❤️❤️. It’s pretty rare to see this consistent support for people who are suffering daily and to remind people to stay aware of the issues going on. I really really appreciate it , I loved all the videos along with the tiktok series ❤️❤️❤️ you, yuval, and Oliver did very well thank you
i think anyone who has enough time online to leave hate on people trying to make content and raise money for charity have a lot more to work though it makes me so sad to see you upset from people who don’t deserve your energy
While some of the jokes didnt all work for me in the video i never thought "Oh Ayame owes us an explanation for this!" And its kinda nuts that people were horrid about this. Sorry Ayame! Edit: like the fact this was about Get Tipsy threw me off💀 I was sure this wouldve been about something else
I think the majority of people understood the jokes and felt entertained. Don’t let the loud minority bring you down. You are super funny and entertaining and one of my favorite content creators for a variety of reasons.
I believe a lot of people including myself need to learn to separate real from fake. But to be honest I feel like more people then not thought the love was genuine and when it turns out not to be we feel like our feelings were used to make money. Although the money was for a good cause it still was a bummer. But we just need to teach ourselves that basically everything on the internet is fake and strictly for entertainment. I would never go so far as to make Ayame or Yuval upset or bash them. Just internally i was like “bummer, thought it was real” oh well.
I feel like Gen Z has the hardest time with parasocial relationships and understanding satire and comedy. How could you NOT understand the funny and the tongue in cheek of it all?! LOVE the content and feel free to be petty and call them out….if they can voice it, they can take the heat about their hurtful words. If they don’t like it, they can create their own channel and unfollow yours while we enjoy your content and help people through it.♥️♥️♥️
I think the problem is this introduced a lot of people to you and your channel that wouldn't otherwise be watching it. I think people were put off by your relationship with your producer as they had no real sense of it beforehand. They had an image of you they'd created so that whole "stupid man" "I hate men" thing was taken extremely literally? Especially when your video went down after too people kinda genuinely got heated. I also think people really warmed to Yuval and were pinning this hope of a relationship onto you both bc he is so sweet and sincere. People were concerned he was actually upset I think, like he wasn't in on it. I see how the tipsy video would've worked and it might've been receieved better had there been some promo like to give people warning almost it was a different kind of thing. Don't feel too bad you've done a great thing still this is just a blip in that x
I loved all the videos with you two. I couldn’t tell if it was real, but that didn’t matter. The videos were funny and it was nice to see you two interact, whether romantic or not. I hope your friendship is able to grow despite any negativity.
I think this is a good reminder for people to be kind to people on the internet who have decided to share their lives/themselves (reality or sketch) with random strangers. There are real people behind the videos you enjoy and you should be kind regardless of your opinions. I enjoyed the entire experience (as a hopeful romantic lol) and hope Ayame and Yuval can continue to do what they love (creating content) genuinely without worrying about what odd parasocial others have developed. 💕🌸
Honestly I really like this format. I know you’re a comedian and I’ve sincerely enjoyed your videos on instagram but it’s also nice to see a more genuine and vulnerable side of you 🫶🏼
Idk why everyone in the comments is berating people that were invested for not checking their parasocial attachments as if the entire thing wasn't built on exploiting and pandering to peoples parasocial attachments (which isnt even necessarily a bad thing but was definitely what they were doing) This is the first (and i think only) point in this entire saga where its been explicitly stated that everything was essentially just entertainment but y'all are mad at people for engaging with it as something authentic (a term which Was explicitly used)?
On multiple occasion it was insinuated that it was real. Tik tok and interviews they had. You can expect people to read through the screen what is real what is not, if people didn’t believe it was real it would not become as big.
True, and i also dove deep into this lore because of how authentic their interactions felt and didn't feel weird like most "scripted ships" are BUT the main focus here is how some of these people have gone overboard, way too much, and that's what ruins it. Maybe some didn't word their arguments properly, but I don't think people are actually berating the parasocial aspect cause clearly most people joined because of exactly that. They just have greatly crossed the lines.
Ayame I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. Just wanted to say that I’m sure the vast majority of people engaging with your content enjoyed all the videos including the drinks one (I know I did). Like many I have been following this saga since the beginning and loving it so much I kept trying to explain it to people not on tiktok to talk about it 😅 I haven’t really commented on any of the videos until now so just know most people viewing and liking probably understood the exact angle you were going for, had a laugh and got on with their day. Sadly on the internet the haters are often the loudest. Thanks for making so much fun content ❤
I just discovered you like a week ago and I cannot believe some people cannot see thru your jokes 😭😭 the jokes went right over their heads babe it’s not you😭 a lot of people I guess have no sense of humor so keep doing you please! I have been binging all your content❤️
the responses to the “get tipsy” video genuinely baffles me. it was such a fun video to watch! please don’t apologize ayame, sending so much love to you and yuval!
I haven’t followed the love triangle bit as much on TikTok but I always found the content (on both YT and TikTok) very entertaining! It’s clear that it was all tongue-in-cheek mixed with some sincerity (esp in the podcast ep, some very sweet friendly moments between you two). As for the complaints about you looking at the camera, it’s obviously part of the bit/humor! You’re essentially breaking the fourth wall in the moment, like in Fleabag! I loved those elements throughout the Tipsy vid, very fun and silly, great work as always, Ayame!
I love you Ayame and Yuval, together or not❤keep being you and your utmost true self. I can only speak for myself but I was very entertained all throughout the journey of THE LOVE TRIANGLE 😂 whatever you and Yuval decide to do or become I all here for it. 😌🥰 Hated the bit when you were crying😢I actually love that you guys decided to stay friends and who knows something might happen behind the prying eyes of social media 🤞🤭🤭
I hope you don't factor the success of this journey (on the entertainment side that is) as a failure just because of one video not landing. What you guys did for tiktok and the internet was one of its kind and that's why it reeled people in in the beginning and what kept reeling people in per video. And everyone ATE up the podcast meet up. Your achievement in being entertaining this whole journey is nothing short of a success and amazing. Truly. And let's not forget what you all managed to raise for Palestine. It's not easy to be equally entertaining and doing incredible charity but you guys did in a way that was so organic(at the start at least) but juicy. Big yourself up Ayame. Keep your chin up girl
Bless your sweet, gentle heart, Ayame. You didn’t deserve any of the hate, and for what it’s worth, I got that it was all a bit, and I thought it was great. It breaks my heart that something meant for fun ended up hurting you so much. You’re an angel, and I loved the whole thing. Best wishes~
I have not read the comments on that video, but I watched and loved the video and all parts of it. I’m sure there are plenty of others like me that enjoyed it as well, but unfortunately the mean ones that did not understand the bit are often the loudest. I’m sorry you are having to deal with this and know that there are people who understood the jokes and have enjoyed and appreciated all of you and your teams hard work ❤❤
Agree it was potentially a loud minority. I also thought it was hilarious and fun. But I wasn't emotionally dependent on a positive outcome (i.e. them being together).
as long if they both communicated that it was a bit/skit it’s fine. i think i just felt one side cause ayame was the only one posting does that make sense?
You’re still being delulu. This video was likely agreed on together, including who should post it, and the talking points. They’re professional content creators with teams…
@@L0vi3r especially in regards to the "Get tipsy" episode,a lot of people though she was "not interested"in Yuval or not really paying attention to him in that video,and the "wasted opportunity" that was had. In regards to the podcast,some people though there was "awkward" moments etc.
@@I_like_cows_hehe wait r u for real people were mad at awkward moments on the pod?! in what world would it not be awkward meeting under those circumstances!!!
Your views have gone from like 9k to 566k from the yuval content, thats a huge achievement and i hope you are able to celebrate that despite the rude people. Don't beat yourself up about their inability to separate reality from social media. Some people can't be pleased. I too hoped a real romance would blossom but alas that may have been unrealistic. A normal person would not give u crap for that. Don't let the haters get u down. We love ya x
Aw man. I kind of don’t think this could have ended in any way where people weren’t mad. Ayame did such a good job selling the story and she’s such a charismatic person that everyone was hooked. The story sold too well. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. I just wish people would just watch and enjoy or leave without being cruel.
Loved you both before, love you both still. Was I convinced it was real at times? Absolutely. But that's part of the reason it went so viral and for an amazing cause.
i feel like maybe there was just a couple glaring issues; too many awkward jokes at tuvalu’s expense specifically made that last video come off very weird, and y’all were too unclear with the fans about what the whole thing was meant to be. surely some people figured it was all just fake and some people thought it was going to be real, but you could have marketed it differently as just friends or something so that it wouldn’t seem so weird for certain things. just my thoughts!
Just here to say thank you for entertaining us. Always prioritize your health and sanity. You are amazing and I’m sorry this joyous, hilarious content you and Yuval created for us caused you any pain. ❤
the time, effort and planning that went into this entire project to make sure you did it right is so impressive. it was so well thought-through by you and your team, all while fundraising so much money. entertainment sells! but also the internet is a scary place ig. will be watching whatever direction you decide to take next!
I think especially with the humour moments being taken the wrong way has to do with the difference between british and american humour. As a brit, adored that episode, the dry humour, the camera glances at moments, i found it funny and a good watch. Im so so sorry you recieved so much backlash for something that was clearly light hearted.
Very good point!!!! In Britain we love satire, with, dry humour, sarcasm etc but unfortunately many Americans can be very very very literal and it goes right over the heads …
Ayame you did a great job making it entertaining don't worry, people were only so upset because they were viewing it as a real romantic date instead of an entertainment piece so those same people realised it didn't reach the romantic expectations of all your focus being on eachother lol but they refused to accept the very well put together entertainment properties since it wasn't what they were anticipating but it really was a great video ❤️
The parasocial has reached too close to the sun, you guys were having fun and raised a lot of money to help people.
As someone who was obsessed with the ayame + yuval series, I respect the decision to end our delusion. It served a great cause and was incredibly entertaining. Looking forward to your future content 🏆
This is a fantastic take and exactly how I feel lol. I was leaning into the delusion of it all because it was fun but I didn’t realize how serious others were taking it. Glad it ended because if they kept going people wouldn’t be able to separate the content from reality
I’m not watching this video , how exactly did she end the delusion
@marcelus4848 confirmed it was a bit. Yuval actually had the idea of her flirting with the bartender (i think maybe her producer idk i was half in and out on who she was referring to with it was his idea). He was absolutely 100% in on it, was in contact wjth her production the whole time. She was enamoured by him obviously but it wasn't a realistic thing and they're now friends.
Why were you even obsessed with it in the first place 😭 like wtf
obsessed? please use that obsession and do something productive in your life 💀💀🙏
I think the negative comments speak volumes about people’s inability to separate real from fake and parasocial relationships. If they were genuine fans of the individual people and their content rather than the idea of a romantic relationship , the jokes wouldn’t have flown over their heads like they did
all of these “yall are gullible, the joke flew over your head, how are you so stupid to not get it” commebts are so ableist lmao. theres so many of us autistic people out here that simply have no reason to feel otherwise, it looks genuine to us and so we are confused and concerned when the very public dynamic has suddenly become disrespectful - because thats what it looked like, it rubs people the wrong way
I don't agree with shaming people for not assuming it was fake, but I think folks are more angry at those who both didn't know + attacked her. THAT'S the actual reason this video was made. I don't see a defense for that.
@@lauren-mh6is Don't you dare use the autistic card to cover your own stupidity. Don't you even DARE to talk about ableism, you are in your delusional era and you thought this was bridgerton when the whole point is that Ayame is a comedian, they said several times it was all a joke but you chose to ignore it. you chose to ignore that even in your twisted imagination two grown adult would...film themselves on their first date?!
Being autistic is not being stupid, so fix that stupidity of yours or get lost.
@@lauren-mh6is i get that a lot of these comments can be ableist but when they've made it clear that all of it is a skit. They both said it in the podcast ep that they ere simply friends and in many of the tik toks it as made clear to be for charity after the series raked in views and even if you didn't see any of those the date video said EP 1 as in episode , show, produced. Also the main point isn't even that its that yall quite literally sat there like keyboard warriors (like i am now) typing up a storm attacking her telling them how to an how not to feel which absurd even if you have autism.
@@lauren-mh6is don't you DARE use autism as an excuse.
Autism doesn't make you stupid, it doesn't make you not hear the several times where they both said they had extremely different lives and interests, it doesn't make you point fingers at Ayame because "she trester Yuval badly gnee gneee".
Try to find another excuse or accept the responsibility of you not picking up on crystal clear clues.
So strange people were genuinely upset. I thought the bartender was funny. You would think people would catch on with how produced y’all’s interactions were. Just a fun internet moment!!
Right, how gullible are they??
ngl i really do think a lot yall give wayyy too much to the general public in terms of “ they shouldve known “ most people are extremely isolated n gullible because of social media with things like this or really anything that triggers emotions , i dont think anyone shouldve directed their emotions at ayame or yuval at all but i also feel its weird to play still play into it after u see people being weird n possessive, like in the first episode people was saying she’s yuval’s . i feel like the general public is right to feel a type of way but not react poorly on that feeling
@@braidenfriday2389 it’s fine to feel disappointment, but it’s your own responsibility on how you manage it. At the end of the day, it’s people upset that this internet relationship isn’t real. Imo that’s not a big deal or anything to be more than briefly sad about, whether you believed it or not. Other people’s relationships doesn’t impact anything serious or anyone personally.
the bartender had me laughing so hard idk what people are on
@@thursdaygirl7 exactly my point , i think that the way people feel is fine but again like u and i say reacting in a hostile way is not how u handle it , i preciate u bein more eloquent than me 😂
I was entertained, don’t beat yourself up about it. You raised money for charity, raised awareness for an incredible cause, and made a friend. The people who can’t differentiate from produced content and reality need to go outside, touch grass, reconnect with reality and learn about the cause you were fundraising for 🇵🇸
THIS
I honestly think people need to be so careful with their parasocial relationships. I’m sorry you got abuse from this, I hope you and Yuval are both okay.
Lol be for real. She didn't get abused, people commented on her fake prank video
@@max9411 ya, ✨abusive comments✨ completely out of proportion to the situation.
But, benefit of the doubt, possibly you didn’t see the ones suggesting Ayamé has a personality disorder, among other things.
@@jesspopps oh no, comments on the internet on the fake prank video she made 😲 I hope she's ok 😭😭😭
Like other people have said, it's not real drama as it was all a joke by her, so the comments are similar.
@@max9411 OK babe, hope you get over the absolute rage this has inspired within you soon
@@jesspopps erm it's not that serious babe hope this helps
It’s the same thing like when people send death threats to actors who play villains on tv . People need to get a grip on reality. You guys helped save multiple families and have gotten so much money raised ! Everything you did was for the greater good and I thank you for the fun engagement !
They both spoke about it on the podcast that they’re two different people with their own lives…i don’t get how people took it so seriously.
some people are so invested into there lives they are convinced they know there real lives it’s crazy.
They live on different continents lmao
@@tilly3930their* their*
Not that you even needed to do a 30 minute video proving to be a decent human being. But you still did. You’re a credit to social media, darling. Sending so much love. ❤
I’m so confused at the response to the Get Tipsy video. I had such a great time watching it. Please don’t be too hard on yourself.
me too i was sat there laughing so much it was an amazing vid and i don’t understand the hate
Only on the internet can people not tell the difference between a skit/internet personality and real life. Surely people are not that stupid to be able to tell the difference.
I think it sadly has less to do with stupidity and more to do with the fact that people are living through others.......what they lack in their personal lives they seek in influencers to fill the void. It's unhealthy.....😅
Bitch they were very believable
But they are. Thats why reality tv has taken off the way it has. People genuinely cannot fathom that entertainment is exactly what it is, entertainment
@@smome7773 This part!!! What I found myself noticing was people were living vicariously through Ayame. Which is cute and all except when she was being partially herself and partially her CHARACTER, people were really mad. And they weren't like "oh this joke wasn't funny" they were like "how DARE you treat him like this?" I even saw someone say they would be so lucky to be with Yuval. Like god damn, she is not obligated to operate exactly how you would and especially not in a fictional relationship.
No I think it’s more that they confirmed it wasn’t a skit in the episode before but it’s not nice to see Ayamé upset, so I think we should lead with precaution in future when critiquing influencers because tbf, it is their job to entertain… her wider audience was however, none the wiser based on the previous info which maybe felt like being cheated? Idk
Aw Ayame. Please don't be sad ❤️ I think the reaction to you and Yuval was so much bigger than anyone could have anticipated. I'm glad you and Yuval have made a friendship out of it and you can tell you worked hard on all of it. Please don't be disheartened lovely ❤️
Thank you for speaking about this,i was literally just watching the "Get Tipsy" episode and reading the comments,and I'm glad you're actually talking about this, especially with all the backlash. ❤
This is actually wild. I watched both vids and thought it was super silly and cute… without going back to watch it again and read comments I don’t even know what people would have to say… genuinely confused
I remember watching some of your vids back during my ACNH obsession
The way people have reacted to this whole series has been deeply unsettling tbh. I dont throw out "parasocial" relationships lightly but the level of investment people had in strangers love lives felt unhealthy. So sorry this fun light hearted skit ended in tears, you were doing your best to bring us fun content
For real, it wasn't until the youtube videos came out I realised people thought it was anything but a fun way to fundraise and they weren't an actual couple.
I really hope Yuval, being your friend and all, can come back on the pod or other content of yours and that this hasnt ruined it. I actually love your dynamic so much regardless of how genuine it is, and his personality is so fun to watch. Whatever happens, i still love you and your content 🧡
people need to get a grip, truly.
I really enjoyed both episodes with Yuval, but the Get Tipsy one just really made me appreciate how much effort had been put into this whole thing. Crazy that some people still hadn't picked up on this just being a bit of fun!
When she did Get Tipsy I saw it as her launching her new Chicken Shop Date type of show. Yes I came for the cute fun of their dynamic but I took it as work. A new project. It was literally titled EP 1.
@judysm95 yeah it's such a fun format and them both laughing with the bartender was so obvious it was all just a joke! Sounds like they went to a lot of effort to make Yuval comfortable as well
It was a great journey & being able to raise so much money to help people is a cherry on top
What I found to be the most weird was all these comments acting like Yuval was so heartbroken and saying Ayame "blew" it and all this conjecture about Yuval being upset or uncomfortable with Ayame. If I were Yuval I'd be so insecure by those comments. He shared on the podcast that he is more socially awkward than her and I think a sketch of that nature would make him understandably nervous regardless of the plot. The fact people were so uncharitable to Ayame and over protective of Yuval was just...wild.
I'm sad that this feels like an apology. You don't owe an apology because people didn't like a video!
I noticed that too! I wonder if it would be an overstatement to say that misogyny could be involved in the general reaction to the "Get Tipsy" video because that's what it's looking like.
@@cocodahlias I considered that too but I'm not sure. Like, if it were a woman bartender and she were playing the same role towards Yuval and he responded how Ayame did, I think people would be mad. But that's also wildly out of character so maybe it would give the clue that it was a sketch. I don't know! I definitely think people feel extremely comfortable telling women how they SHOULD operate in a relationship setting. Maybe that was at play here, maybe that wasn't!
@@cocodahlias I've observed an influx of the comments about Ayamé blowing it, coming mostly from women.
I was feeling a certain sort of projection? (Not sure if that's the word I'm looking for.) A type of parasocial expectation of things going well? Or how they wanted it to go? Like how people might watch Twilight and go, "No Bella! Don't do that! Do this instead!! Ahhhh! She's so stupid." Or family vlog channels or even the video game series 'The Sims' comes to mind.
@@mr.__.knightthe comments coming from women still doesn’t negate the idea that misogyny may be involved
@@amakaaja1783 I agree with you. I should've been clearer in my reply. I thought that the comments showcasing internalized misogyny instead, was worth pointing out. Cause that's so much worse than just some dudes glazing Yuval and blaming Ayamé, as we'd come to expect.
The three of you (and all involved) told an amazing, enthralling story that people LOVE, and inevitably people will be disappointed no matter how it ends. I hope you all are able to feel proud of what you've accomplished, and give yourselves grace for doing what you could to handle the insane surge of interest and opportunity that fell on you. Incredible work, all of you.
I will always be proud of you two for raising money AND awareness. This is something we’ve been begging celebrities and other influencers to do and they’ve refused. I hope you are proud of yourself for what you’ve done! I’m so happy I was able to add to your fundraising by engaging with these videos. I watched your whole podcast as a result of the one with yuval, and I’m so excited for season two!
ayame babe the fact that you sat down to do this, you and yuval both have done such amazing things for so many people.
I am really confused. How did you all actually think that this “relationship” was for real? It’s like thinking that two leads in a romantic comedy who are ACTORS , will get together just cause they can make the relationship look realistic. Of course sometimes actors end up together but veeeery rarely! I enjoyed the whole thing for what it was and bravo to them pulling it off and earning so much money for charity on the way. ❤
This is super interesting from a marketing and PR standpoint. Social Media is a scary, fascinating place.
Those comments were genuinely soo RUDE. so what if yuval and ayame didn't magically hit it off and have a happy ending or something? People this this not bridgerton this is real life! Not all conversations have to contribute to the "plot". What they are doing is amazing and in here for it. That's all.🎀
Its genuinely so stupid that people thought your faux entitledness and flirting was genuine
Exactly!!!!
Like, she's Ayame, she's gonna do a bit!!!
In what possible fucking way am I stupid? I'm sorry they were very believable.
Btw I'm not mad at all that it wasn't real. I'm just mad at people saying I'm stupid for not picking up on it
@@ibpersonthe entire way through it was clearly a joke there is no way they would seriously fall in love it was all done through production and planning
@tilly3930 When was it clear? If you actually like tell me how I'm stupid, I'll accept it, but if you just make fun of me, that does nothing
Dont beat yourself up, the Yuval content was camp as tits and most of us enjoyed it in my opinion. You’ve cleared the air totally and any lingering distaste will surely fade, don’t let this silly moment ruin such a triumph for your channel because that’s how I see it. You raised so much money and entertained so many people despite what a few lame ppl had to say. You’re winning Ayame!!!! We love you ❤❤❤
Wow, I mean beyond what’s already been said in the comments, this was clearly partially inspired by Chicken Shop Date which is meant to be awkward and cheeky. Also, Ayame literally said in the podcast that she is her own person. How do you become a fan of someone and then miss a statement like that
You can’t always give everyone what they want and there will always be people who want things to go differently, especially with how passionate people were and are about the series. You did incredible things by making into a fundraiser and you make me laugh every time you appear on my feed even when it’s just reacting to people chucking bottles down stairs 😂😂
I think from the video of Oliver reading Yuval's letter I had a good feeling that it was just for content, but the ride was still amazing. The three of you did some real good in the world, and I hope you are so proud of what you accomplished! You've gained a follower and fan for life! ❤
I was so entertained by this in a Soap Opera type of way. I loved the cinema and drama of it all while not forgetting that y’all are real people with real lives. Thank you for doing this for us and I’m glad you did. 💜😊✨ Seeing drama + fund raising filled me up in a different way than most content creators do.
I really enjoyed the Get Tipsy video! My husband and I found it highly entertaining. The extrovert/introvert dynamic between Ayame and Yuval was fascinating, and Ayame did a fantastic job trying to get Yuval out of his shell/comfort zone. It’s a shame the video wasn’t well-received because we would have loved to see more, even in a nonromantic capacity. Ayame, I truly appreciate everything you do, and it’s unfortunate that some people couldn’t recognize the effort and positivity you brought to the video 🤍
Incompatibility is not a bad word. I think the issue with parasocial relationships is that its not like reading fan fiction.
I read the vibes after the 1st podcast episode (so I never even watched Get Tipsy ep but saw some TikToks about it). I've never felt the need to leave hate. Im not sure why people can't just also understand that you are REAL human beings.
Doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
from the jump she was being all "I love you" and you could tell Yuval was not reciprocating that lol. I highly doubt she'd ever say that genuinely to a guy she just met! I was like, this will be a fun quirky time. The fan fiction comparison is spot on.
I never comment on videos but just feel so called to say - I have absolutely loved every moment you and Yuval created for us over the last 5? 6?! months. Truly my favorite corner of the internet. You are such a gem. Keep shining, keep flirting (lmao). Thank you for showing up the way you do. Sending you so much love. It's been a true joy.
Loved the content before Yuval, loved it during, I’ll love it after. Simple as.
This whole thing, including this video, has been THE best thing online.. i think ever. You raised over half a million for Palestine, you entertained us, kept us hooked, and you were real about the difficulties of it. Just perfect. I really respect all three of you and i believe You Ayame will be huge! Much love from Finland.
you're a good person and people will constantly try to pick at things!! thank you for always speaking up about real issues and speaking up for people that deserve a voice
girl your content has literally helped save lives so don’t be too hard on yourself
It feels deeply sad that she feels like she owes an explanation :(
You have so much grace and you care so deeply. Thank you for the fun, the laughs, and for being you. 🫶
Yess we love you ayame 🫶🫶🫶❤❤❤
Yeah people were being so mean it was weird
Don’t put it on yourself we still love you no matter what❤❤
This was the best season of television this year. Y’all deserve an Emmy of some kind
genuinely so uncomfortable to see how many people do not realize that there is a difference between social media and real life... life it's clearly just for fun no? And at any point it turned serious, as if we'd hear about right away. They'd be private about it at first like any one in their right mind would
It was not clear at all, and no I didn't think they just immediately decided to announce. I figured they had been together before the first Tiktok, but soft launched it
@@ibperson yikes
@@ibperson This reads like parasocial expectations from being chronically online. As in, you've observed similar instances of social media relationships before and gotten invested, like this, before. That's not on them.
@@ibperson you thought two people who hadn't met or spoken directly to each other until they filmed the podcast episode were genuinely in love with each other?
@@yokoohellno I never watched the pod, so if they said it there then I would've known, but other than that, it was not obvious they hadn't talked. I fully thought they had been together for months
We love you girl!! Some people just delulu-ed too close to the sun.
Back in like 2015 in the Philippines there was a live noontime show that did a similar thing. There was a newcomer to the show who had a crush on one of the established hosts and the crowd (including me) ATE THAT SHIT UP. So the producers ran with it, for a solid year or year and a half. There were elements of reality like using their real names but the whole thing was definitely still fiction. Fans were just as delusional, there are some fans who still believe that those two people are married and in love. And they get HELLA rude and nasty to anyone who tries to bring them back to reality, including the actors who were involved in the whole story.
All of this to say, you, your team, Yuvall, and even Oliver pulled off an AWESOME story that swept people away. Much like the noontime show in the Philippines, fans just get WAY too emotionally involved with it and don’t know how to cope with it all. You all did your jobs extremely well and made a captivating story, and (most importantly) for a good cause. I really really hope the loud minority of people don’t take away the pride you should feel with this cinematic experience you were able to create.
You're talking about AlDub right? If so then you're so right because I've been comparing YuvAmé to AlDub ever since the meetup and because of my experience with it, I could kind of gauge how much of YuvAmé was genuine and how much of it was really just for fun. I think since a lot of people who were into this whole thing aren't as familiar with how Filipino loveteams work, something like YuvAmé definitely hooked them into thinking something more could blossom, but all the hate comments against Ayamé were just too much
@@cocodahlias yes AlDub!!!! And you’re spot on about gauging the fun vs genuine cause the Filipino audience have had tons of training with how much the industry pushes loveteams. We still eat it up and sometimes be a little delulu with certain duos, but it’s not novel to us by any means unlike most of the people whose first experience with something like this was YuvAmé.
So annoying that people took something fun and rewarding to instead hate on Ayamé 😕
I will always commend y’all for turning attentions to people in need. I’m sorry you’ve been hurt in the process. You’re doing great things for the world.
I loved the whole thing, it gave major fleabag vibes. Especially you breaking the fourth wall constantly! You created an amazing series with Yuval and Oliver. It was played so well and it’s a shame people couldn’t see that it was a production, but it’s testament to how well you all played in and how well planned everything was. Also the fact you managed to fundraise and help so many people is a huge achievement in itself and I know a lot of main stream media personalities wouldn’t have been able to achieve that.
You could tell you put your real emotions into it, and used it to create the story. And I think people don’t understand that real life isn’t a book and sometimes people might be great on the page together but in real life aren’t compatible in a romantic way. And it’s a shame you have had to deal with people being sad or upset but it’s not on you. You are a real person with a real life and deserve to have real emotions
Warning: this is a rant!
Commenting this because while I am a fan I feel a lot of people need a bit of a wake up call… so news flash: it was never going to be real. This entire situation was content. Like they’re entertainers here to make content nothing more unless explicitly stated otherwise. So this whole parasocial I hope they get together sentiment is extremely toxic and parasocial. They’re two real people not fictional characters you can just ship. And the fact you couldn’t even imagine these skits or videos were satirical? Like please it’s not hard to see. Please get a grip because you’ve just made one of your favorite creators cry on camera, for what?
lol hey autism exists and satire is, in fact, hard to see. fuck the hate comments but you should stop living in a closed off bubble where only neurotypical people exist to you, sick and tired of seeing the entire community indirectly get called stupid because we cannot read social interactions the same way you can.
It's a shame that people made this weird and uncomfortable for Ayame, but I've had a rough time lately and this consistently put a smile on my face. Getting a proper finale with hours of funny content is way more than I ever hoped for. Did people expect these two real people to turn their lives into a rom com or something?
Yall made my girl cry and ION LIKE THAT!!! We love you Ayame and support you ❤ keep going
I really love and appreciate your honesty, and it takes so much courage to be seen Ayame. No one saying bad things to you can take being seen to the level that you’re being seen. You’re amazing! Keep going ❤
Look, even if I preferred the podcast ep to the tipsy video, I am absolutely not disappointed about it, about you or Yuval, or about the whole "storyline". We got literally weeks of entertainment and suspense, plus raising all that money is something to be so proud of. I never doubted that you guys had good intentions, and whether this was a real relationship or not, I knew you were ultimately doing it for a good cause and that alone was worth it. Thanks for clarifying the situation, but mostly, thanks for the ride these past weeks.
I have to admit I’m so surprised!! Ayamé, those videos were so, so funny and well made (and how I discovered your channel, actually). You can really tell that so much hard work went into producing them both.
Also the interactions between you and the bartender had me CACKLING. Also, also: You breaking the 4th wall in your videos and looking in the camera always has me screaming. lol
Obviously this is like surreal reality-tv-esque type of content. Maybe some people just didn’t get/understand that?
Making Ayame cry has raised the dragons of war
You are 100% valid, I liked the get-tipsy video. Thank you for fundraising
I followed you and yuval separately before this, this has been so fun and done a lot of good. And I liked the video and the bartender bit lol. I'm excited to see what you do next 💚
Ayame, regardless of what people thought about the get tipsy video, as an Arab I appreciate the fundraisers you raised for Palestine❤️❤️❤️. It’s pretty rare to see this consistent support for people who are suffering daily and to remind people to stay aware of the issues going on. I really really appreciate it , I loved all the videos along with the tiktok series ❤️❤️❤️ you, yuval, and Oliver did very well thank you
i think anyone who has enough time online to leave hate on people trying to make content and raise money for charity have a lot more to work though
it makes me so sad to see you upset from people who don’t deserve your energy
I’m honestly surprised that even now there are comments under this video still making excuses. “It should have been done differently” etc….
While some of the jokes didnt all work for me in the video i never thought "Oh Ayame owes us an explanation for this!" And its kinda nuts that people were horrid about this. Sorry Ayame!
Edit: like the fact this was about Get Tipsy threw me off💀 I was sure this wouldve been about something else
I honestly enjoyed this whole crazy ride! Thank you for the fun Ayame.. I’m not disappointed, it was fun while it lasted.
I think the majority of people understood the jokes and felt entertained. Don’t let the loud minority bring you down. You are super funny and entertaining and one of my favorite content creators for a variety of reasons.
It’s almost like you’re a comedian…
I believe a lot of people including myself need to learn to separate real from fake. But to be honest I feel like more people then not thought the love was genuine and when it turns out not to be we feel like our feelings were used to make money. Although the money was for a good cause it still was a bummer. But we just need to teach ourselves that basically everything on the internet is fake and strictly for entertainment. I would never go so far as to make Ayame or Yuval upset or bash them. Just internally i was like “bummer, thought it was real” oh well.
I feel like Gen Z has the hardest time with parasocial relationships and understanding satire and comedy. How could you NOT understand the funny and the tongue in cheek of it all?! LOVE the content and feel free to be petty and call them out….if they can voice it, they can take the heat about their hurtful words. If they don’t like it, they can create their own channel and unfollow yours while we enjoy your content and help people through it.♥️♥️♥️
I think the problem is this introduced a lot of people to you and your channel that wouldn't otherwise be watching it. I think people were put off by your relationship with your producer as they had no real sense of it beforehand. They had an image of you they'd created so that whole "stupid man" "I hate men" thing was taken extremely literally? Especially when your video went down after too people kinda genuinely got heated. I also think people really warmed to Yuval and were pinning this hope of a relationship onto you both bc he is so sweet and sincere. People were concerned he was actually upset I think, like he wasn't in on it. I see how the tipsy video would've worked and it might've been receieved better had there been some promo like to give people warning almost it was a different kind of thing. Don't feel too bad you've done a great thing still this is just a blip in that x
ayame pls don’t cry!!! i feel so bad. you were amazing. it’s not yours or yuval’s fault at all. people need to touch some grass
This just goes to show that media literacy is at all time low.
I loved all the videos with you two. I couldn’t tell if it was real, but that didn’t matter. The videos were funny and it was nice to see you two interact, whether romantic or not. I hope your friendship is able to grow despite any negativity.
I think this is a good reminder for people to be kind to people on the internet who have decided to share their lives/themselves (reality or sketch) with random strangers.
There are real people behind the videos you enjoy and you should be kind regardless of your opinions.
I enjoyed the entire experience (as a hopeful romantic lol) and hope Ayame and Yuval can continue to do what they love (creating content) genuinely without worrying about what odd parasocial others have developed. 💕🌸
The bartender WAS funny the whole thing was a laugh and a half
Honestly I really like this format. I know you’re a comedian and I’ve sincerely enjoyed your videos on instagram but it’s also nice to see a more genuine and vulnerable side of you 🫶🏼
Idk why everyone in the comments is berating people that were invested for not checking their parasocial attachments as if the entire thing wasn't built on exploiting and pandering to peoples parasocial attachments (which isnt even necessarily a bad thing but was definitely what they were doing)
This is the first (and i think only) point in this entire saga where its been explicitly stated that everything was essentially just entertainment but y'all are mad at people for engaging with it as something authentic (a term which Was explicitly used)?
On multiple occasion it was insinuated that it was real. Tik tok and interviews they had. You can expect people to read through the screen what is real what is not, if people didn’t believe it was real it would not become as big.
True, and i also dove deep into this lore because of how authentic their interactions felt and didn't feel weird like most "scripted ships" are BUT the main focus here is how some of these people have gone overboard, way too much, and that's what ruins it. Maybe some didn't word their arguments properly, but I don't think people are actually berating the parasocial aspect cause clearly most people joined because of exactly that. They just have greatly crossed the lines.
Nah frl!! Idk why ppl are acting like eb who thought it was genuine was stupid…
Ayame I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. Just wanted to say that I’m sure the vast majority of people engaging with your content enjoyed all the videos including the drinks one (I know I did). Like many I have been following this saga since the beginning and loving it so much I kept trying to explain it to people not on tiktok to talk about it 😅
I haven’t really commented on any of the videos until now so just know most people viewing and liking probably understood the exact angle you were going for, had a laugh and got on with their day. Sadly on the internet the haters are often the loudest. Thanks for making so much fun content ❤
I just discovered you like a week ago and I cannot believe some people cannot see thru your jokes 😭😭 the jokes went right over their heads babe it’s not you😭 a lot of people I guess have no sense of humor so keep doing you please! I have been binging all your content❤️
the responses to the “get tipsy” video genuinely baffles me. it was such a fun video to watch!
please don’t apologize ayame, sending so much love to you and yuval!
I haven’t followed the love triangle bit as much on TikTok but I always found the content (on both YT and TikTok) very entertaining! It’s clear that it was all tongue-in-cheek mixed with some sincerity (esp in the podcast ep, some very sweet friendly moments between you two). As for the complaints about you looking at the camera, it’s obviously part of the bit/humor! You’re essentially breaking the fourth wall in the moment, like in Fleabag! I loved those elements throughout the Tipsy vid, very fun and silly, great work as always, Ayame!
I love you Ayame and Yuval, together or not❤keep being you and your utmost true self.
I can only speak for myself but I was very entertained all throughout the journey of THE LOVE TRIANGLE 😂 whatever you and Yuval decide to do or become I all here for it. 😌🥰
Hated the bit when you were crying😢I actually love that you guys decided to stay friends and who knows something might happen behind the prying eyes of social media 🤞🤭🤭
I hope you don't factor the success of this journey (on the entertainment side that is) as a failure just because of one video not landing. What you guys did for tiktok and the internet was one of its kind and that's why it reeled people in in the beginning and what kept reeling people in per video. And everyone ATE up the podcast meet up. Your achievement in being entertaining this whole journey is nothing short of a success and amazing. Truly. And let's not forget what you all managed to raise for Palestine. It's not easy to be equally entertaining and doing incredible charity but you guys did in a way that was so organic(at the start at least) but juicy. Big yourself up Ayame. Keep your chin up girl
You’re amazing! Thanks for the explanation but sad it was “needed” Keep it up and be safe. ❤❤
When you break the fourth wall I find it so comedic to me it reminds me of Jim from the office 😂
Bless your sweet, gentle heart, Ayame. You didn’t deserve any of the hate, and for what it’s worth, I got that it was all a bit, and I thought it was great. It breaks my heart that something meant for fun ended up hurting you so much. You’re an angel, and I loved the whole thing. Best wishes~
I have not read the comments on that video, but I watched and loved the video and all parts of it. I’m sure there are plenty of others like me that enjoyed it as well, but unfortunately the mean ones that did not understand the bit are often the loudest. I’m sorry you are having to deal with this and know that there are people who understood the jokes and have enjoyed and appreciated all of you and your teams hard work ❤❤
Agree it was potentially a loud minority. I also thought it was hilarious and fun. But I wasn't emotionally dependent on a positive outcome (i.e. them being together).
as long if they both communicated that it was a bit/skit it’s fine. i think i just felt one side cause ayame was the only one posting does that make sense?
You’re still being delulu. This video was likely agreed on together, including who should post it, and the talking points. They’re professional content creators with teams…
I'm so confused about what people didnt like about it?
@@L0vi3r especially in regards to the "Get tipsy" episode,a lot of people though she was "not interested"in Yuval or not really paying attention to him in that video,and the "wasted opportunity" that was had. In regards to the podcast,some people though there was "awkward" moments etc.
Chronically online people are unable to tell the difference between a skit and real life.
@@I_like_cows_hehe wait r u for real people were mad at awkward moments on the pod?! in what world would it not be awkward meeting under those circumstances!!!
@@judysm95 yep! Honestly idk society sometimes is a bit odd but yk 😔
i was surprised to hear that you got that much negativity, i think what you guys did was amazing x
Your views have gone from like 9k to 566k from the yuval content, thats a huge achievement and i hope you are able to celebrate that despite the rude people. Don't beat yourself up about their inability to separate reality from social media. Some people can't be pleased. I too hoped a real romance would blossom but alas that may have been unrealistic. A normal person would not give u crap for that. Don't let the haters get u down. We love ya x
Aw man. I kind of don’t think this could have ended in any way where people weren’t mad. Ayame did such a good job selling the story and she’s such a charismatic person that everyone was hooked. The story sold too well. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. I just wish people would just watch and enjoy or leave without being cruel.
It will always be in Ayame we trust . We love you! Forget the negative comments still enjoy your content love ❤️
Loved you both before, love you both still. Was I convinced it was real at times? Absolutely. But that's part of the reason it went so viral and for an amazing cause.
i feel like maybe there was just a couple glaring issues; too many awkward jokes at tuvalu’s expense specifically made that last video come off very weird, and y’all were too unclear with the fans about what the whole thing was meant to be. surely some people figured it was all just fake and some people thought it was going to be real, but you could have marketed it differently as just friends or something so that it wouldn’t seem so weird for certain things. just my thoughts!
Just here to say thank you for entertaining us. Always prioritize your health and sanity. You are amazing and I’m sorry this joyous, hilarious content you and Yuval created for us caused you any pain. ❤
People look for authenticity. That’s why cable tv is out and TH-cam became popular.
the time, effort and planning that went into this entire project to make sure you did it right is so impressive. it was so well thought-through by you and your team, all while fundraising so much money. entertainment sells! but also the internet is a scary place ig. will be watching whatever direction you decide to take next!
I think especially with the humour moments being taken the wrong way has to do with the difference between british and american humour. As a brit, adored that episode, the dry humour, the camera glances at moments, i found it funny and a good watch. Im so so sorry you recieved so much backlash for something that was clearly light hearted.
This is a good point. Reminds me of drag race us vs uk and the jokes not translating well.
Very good point!!!! In Britain we love satire, with, dry humour, sarcasm etc but unfortunately many Americans can be very very very literal and it goes right over the heads …
I love you Ayame. You’re literally an amazing entertainer. Thank you so much for your content❤️
thank you all so much, this way of fundraising is genius
Ayame you did a great job making it entertaining don't worry, people were only so upset because they were viewing it as a real romantic date instead of an entertainment piece so those same people realised it didn't reach the romantic expectations of all your focus being on eachother lol but they refused to accept the very well put together entertainment properties since it wasn't what they were anticipating but it really was a great video ❤️
