Seeing a lot of comments from people pointing out that The Click is Swedish, hence why he may not know certain words are derogatory. I understand people comment while they’re still watching the video but just to clarify, I do mention this at 16:20 :)
You're Good B Lol Can't Please Everyone
@@septimaserpent Haha, to be fair most people are pointing it out just to give their opinion on it which is great but I saw a couple people who were annoyed at me for not mentioning it so just thought I’d clarify 😅
I was literally just writing out a defensive comment and about to click post when I saw this comment lol
As a 27yo individual who also has English as their second language, may someone enlighten me please on what said r slur is!? I have no clue. Does it sound any familiar to 🍇 or something?
@@myeramimclerie7869 It's the French word for delayed, used historically in English when diagnosing mentally delayed individuals and has been used in a derogatory way against neurodivergent individuals. "Retard".
I know a lot of ESL speakers don't see it as harmful because in their first language, the equivalent doesn't have the same derogatory history. My second language is Hebrew, and the Hebrew equivalent isn't considered a slur at all.
The Click is also Swedish where he probably didn't have the understanding that certain words have negative connotations in the English language even if he does speak the language fluently. It's like getting angry with a French speaker who would use the 'retarder' verbe in the context of their language.
That’s something that came to my mind too when I heard him talk about it
And as soon as he found out it was offensive he changed it! I can’t be mad at him for that, he seems like a good guy
i was thinking the same thing. also where i live people don't make a big deal of words like that, it's not the same everywhere in the world.
Yeah, like Pewds, who himself is Swedish and I'm sure he has issues with English too?
This. Plus generally, insults and swear words aren't exactly what you learn in language classes usually (English is my second language). Not to mention, there is big difference in reception of some words between for example British and American English. For example, in British english "fag" means a cigarette and isn't a slur
@@rilmar2137 it’s also still a slur lol
I think the ending was the worst. Seeing the Click so genuinely sad was almost heartbreaking
Just hearing him try to hold back his tears is fucking heartbreaking, Illuminaughti deserves no fame, she deserves every bad thing that comes to her for the kind of person she is.
Yeah it broke me too when I watched it 😔
Hearing him so close to tears broke my heart. I'm glad he got to talk about it but he looked so sad.
Clicks video is what convinced me she was the problem and exposed how Blair can manipulate situations and be scary. I immediately unsubscribed after that
I mean if you care that much yeah it's heartbreaking I agree it's a messed up situation tho
“I’ll pay you 200 dollars to run a smear campaign on a person who used to be my friend” like how insane can you be and OMG not her pulling a creepshow art and pretending to be a fan of herself to spread rumors 😭
I think she has a crush on him and just doesn't know how to handle her emotions. Sometime people lash out when they don't get the attn they want from the person they like...
@@dontplz but she has done this to other people over the years...even with sad milk...its her personality. I think you are absolutely right about her lashing out, its just not exclusive to The Click.
and she's using a person for her own gain too. Talk about manipulative.
@@dontplz This is what my husband said when he watched Cliccy wiccy's vid with me last night. My opinion is that his channel started outgrowing hers and she's jealous.
And it's a smaller detail in comparison to the overall weight of that message, but it's honestly insane that she said "used to be my friend" when Click made it very clear that he was still willing to stay in contact, but just didn't want to be in their series anymore
Watching Markie fall in love with The Click's voice is amazing, like YES SPITTING FACTS
Right honestly. im the same tho😂😂
You are right. You told me so long ago and you were RIGHT
@@rmarshall7744 JUMPSCARE
@@fimbles4211 HEEHEE
I don’t know who that man is but YES!!!
As someone who used to watch her this is so disappointing to see she makes videos about people and there bad behavior then is like this
Yeah, I unsubed from her about 9 months ago as her opinions started getting too, err, one sided? she wasn't seeing the whole picture anymore, just the wrong one for my Gen-X brain.
I unsubbed her about 2 years ago!
@@BaneHuntress I JUST subbed and now I have to unsub cause what is all this 😔😭
Yeah I decided to unfollow Blaire after Markie last video.
@@BaneHuntress same. I like hearing both sides point but she pulled *hard* to the one side and just ignored sht we literally grew up see to state her "facts", while sounding to have a 'tude lol. She's one of those causing divide.
Markie, if it helps, English is not Click's first language, he's Swedish. I have a parent where English is her second language too, and it's actually very common for words to be okay/have a different context between cultures. (For a very mild example, "stupid" is a word we use all the time in English that's not that big a deal, but in the part of Mexico my mother is from, calling someone estupido/a is a lot closer to calling them a dumbass, so it's more insulting.)
That's honestly the most legitimate justification for using that kind of language that I've heard from anyone. Like, obviously it's still bad, but it's understandable that someone wouldn't necessarily know the severity of offensive words in a foreign language. (Especially if a lot of his practicing English was through video games and online chats where slurs get thrown around like confetti💀)
Huh, in England, at least the area I'm from and the friend groups I'm in, 'stupid' is a bigger deal and is usually used negatively, while 'dumbass' is a friendly insult or even a compliment that you say to your good friends.
Yes, exactly this. I felt so dumb when I had to pause this video and had to google "what does the r-word refer to". I remember learning that word from the internet as well and thought for a long time it's internet-slang for not-smart, like "bucks" for "dollar".
I was just about to say basically the same thing! Depending on where you’re at you might not be quite as up to snuff so to speak with appropriate/inappropriate lingo.
I've been in the internet since way too young and always been top on english in every setting of education I got. I'm 20 now but I've only heard R as a slur since 1-2 years ago and even to this day still often hear people using it without knowing it's a slur
He is sweedish. So not knowing the r-slur thing, seems legit to me. As I didn't think of it myself, and I'm Norwegian.
I am Slovak and same thing ...had no idea its a slur
@Judy Mwanzo I only learnt that the n word was a slur and why when I was 13 and only because it randomly came up.
On the internet. If it didnt I dont even know how differently it would have gone done.
In South Africa the n word isnt a well known slur. Or even used... We have our own racial slurs.... *Sad sigh*
Also yes English is my second language. Afrikaans is my first. And I only became fluent when I was 17
Im 22 now
Thank you for the context. I’m from the USA, and we have it drilled into us that the r-word is offensive. I was wondering how the hell he wouldn’t know that by his 20s, but him being Swedish and it not being an issue in that neck of the woods makes sense
@@tealablu3759 yea. I’m Swedish like him and I had no idea it was a slur until I a few years ago. I heard it a lot in English vids so I really didn’t pay much attention to it.
@Judy Mwanzo I'm Polish and I can attest that I have only learned about the n-word being a slur when in college. You hear it in songs, you hear it in movies, it isn't obvious unless you pretty much have it explained to you. Plus Poland generally isn't a very racially diverse country, so we can't learn first hand that much
I can relate with the Click on the bad words stuff. I'm Finnish, neighbor to Swedes, and I had no idea certain words are considered bad or straight out slurs in English language. It's kind of ignorant to think that everyone outside US, England etc would know all English language and its bad words right away... Me for example due to Finnish being a language without she/he/they kinda pronouns, I didn't know that (for example) misgendering was a thing and people would be mad about that, and more. Like we use word "it" for people, and of course you don't use "it" of humans in English. Like r-word, n-word, all of them were new, and now I know and have learned. And I was over 20 already when I did learn.
Sometimes i still "misgender" or even read he as she vice versa because in my native tongue theres no gendering of words, and sometimes my brain comes up with the sentence in my own native tongue and then simultaneously translates to english
We have "hän" translating to "they" and "it" would be "se". We don't have he/she stuff only the genderneutral pronouns
Started using social media, video games and internet in general back when I was a teenager in 2011 (the golden age of edgelords) and slurs were basically everyday normal words for the people I interacted online. As someone who only learned basic English language and never been to US or any other country besides my own, I thought the N-word, R-word, F****t and other offensive slurs were just basic english swear words similar to dickhead, scumbag, or asshole. I honestly cringe everytime i remember myself using those words without even knowing the magnitude of negativity and toxicity i brought other people. My language also does not have gendered pronouns so it's a little confusing to translate it in my head so I would often use the person's or thing's names instead of using pronouns which sounds incredibly dumb. lol
@@GRA5S I have a friend who would go by they, but in my language we only have it - but "it" is for things and feels derogatory. We try to avoid pronouns for them at all so we repeat their name a whole lot in sentences which is definitely very weird. 😅
I wish American English didn't teach gender specific Pronouns . IT being derogatory is because we made it derogatory.
I love how markie’s accent makes her name sound like “bleh” which is exactly how I feel about blaire 😌
i cannot unhear it now
lmao
@thelightfantastic they're both delightful. Markie's reminds me of Jaime Tart from Ted Lasso
As someone who used to watch Blair’s content (and still watch’s click’s)and didn’t even know her and the click had any connection, I hate knowing how she genuinely hurt people when HER WHOLE BRAND WAS ABOUT EXPOSING BAD BUSINESSES AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM! I feel hurt and manipulated as just a casual viewer, I can’t imagine how those who are actually in this situation must feel. I know I’d feel incredibly uncomfortable and betrayed 😢
@thelightfantastic Yeah, she'd better not go after OT.
I'm also in the same boat as you. It's such a yucky situation.
I’m in the same boat! Watched them both, confused when Click mentioned her name in a new vid. Now I hate Blair and stand by Click 100%.
the silver lining in all this is people finding out how beautiful the click's voice is and how funny he can be
He’s so different than I pictured based on what Blair said about him in her “apology” video. He seems so intelligent and put together, not at all how she described him.
@@malloryharding882 ive been a fan of his for over a year now. him and one topic are sweet dudes who love to joke around. heir communities have been some of the most open, accepting and loving fandoms ever. this is the same man that i saw break out in tears when that whole established titles thing came out and it was bc he was ashamed he helped in a scam. he's human so im not expecting a saint but he's a good guy all around i think
@@RainyDays2790 I remember that. Click was horrified he had a sponsor that turned out to be not on the up and up. He ended the business relationship and donated what revenue he got from that sponsor to charity.
My husband didn’t realize the r-word was a bad word until after we got married (so…2021). He’s around the same age as The Click. His English good, but until marrying me he only spoke it at work and spoke his first language at his home with our extended family. He doesn’t have any friends that are native English speakers (other than me haha). A lot of people don’t get the context of the word. A lot of non-native English speakers hear the r-word and just assume it’s a synonym for “stupid” or “dumb” because that’s how it’s used.
Tbh i get why markie was confused since alot of people(espically those who are autistic) are very vocal in letting people know its a slur-but at the same time i can see why it would take click so long to find out since native english speakers who do know its a slur still use it to replace “stupid” no matter what autistic people say cause they dont care , even blaire herself was revealed to use it in private even tho she made videos profitting off talking about autism speaks, i wont doubt if non native english speakers just assumed its okay then
@@Man-wolf- "still use it to replace "stupid""... People are especially ramping up the use when talking about politics/politicians in my experience.
@@LEXXIUS yeah they are, they make different word combos with it and for example “liberal” cause saying stupid is too much in comparrison to using a slur lmao/sarcasim
@@Man-wolf- Right, people that do know better shouldn’t be using that word to emphasize how stupid they think something is. That’s why a lot of younger people (and non-native English-speakers) aren’t even aware of how terrible that word is. I know for even myself (my native language is English) I was 11 or 12 before a teacher told me I shouldn’t be saying that word. It’s something that I don’t think anybody should be using outside of specific medical contexts, and I’m not even sure if the r-word still is the correct medical term for what I’m thinking of.
@@Bosihiov It's no longer considered correct in a medical context either, though it is sometimes still used that way. It is occasionally used in microbiology to refer to the slowing of growth of microbes - especially yeast - but is seems to getting phased out in that context as well...
As a viewer of both Markie and the click, watching him fall in love with clicks voice is very amusing 😂💖
And too relatable
It is very amusing and totally understandable because let's face it, we all had that fall in love with the voice moment.
I actually love Markie’s voice too. It’s interesting because they’re incredibly different, and yet both of them are weirdly moreish, I just want to hear more of them.
I know right? Lmao!
I've been watching Click and OneTopic for a while now and so many people are being introduced to Clicks fantastic voice lol.
The whole world deserves to enjoy Click's beautiful voice ❤ and beautiful personality too, for that matter
Blaire thought she kicked a box
Instead she kicked a bear
A mf dragon with a crisp voice...
She needs to kick rocks. What a pissy “friend”.
The Dillon brooks of TH-cam
A bear full of bees jfc
It was a box, a box w a bee hive in it.
I‘m German and therefore had to learn English as well. Personally when I first heard a youtuber say the sentence „the r-word is bad“ or something like that, I had to google that because I wasn‘t sure which word they could mean. My English is okay and all but negative or positive connotations of certain words are not easy do decypher as a non native speaker
The n-word is really, really bad!
Same (fellow german here), paused the video and googled "what word does the r-word refer to". thought for years it's just internet slang for not-smart or stupid.
@@Mangafan47 tbh I’m autistic and don’t really find retard offensive as long as you aren’t using it to actually make fun of someone neurodivergent, for being neurodivergent, it’s like a stronger version of idiot and I use it all the time, and honestly if you want to use it too go for it, though some people might get offended lol, so just be careful about who you use it around
@@ihaveajojoaddiction9592 Please don't do that, you don't speak for us all. For a lot of us that word brings up some traumatic stuff, there's nothing wrong with people being mindful of that.
@@sourgreendolly7685 that’s why I said be careful who you use it around at the end
I feel so bad for Click. For two years he's held his tongue, hoping she would stop and the drama would just go away. And then he found out she was behind the alt accounts harassing him and everyone in his life too. What a horrible human being she is.
I used to watch her, but over time, something turned me off. Some of her old videos are interesting, and I fact checked them to find they had true information. But some of her beliefs are so out there.
For me it was something about the way she speaks. Not the way her voice sounds, but the way she talks and reads scripts. I couldn't really put my finger on it, but it reminded me of several abusive/toxic people I'd known in the past. It's like someone trying so, so hard to be innocent or kind, but there's something under the surface they can't hide. I noticed it shortly before the Cruel World Unhappy Mind fiasco, and the way that was handled was really bizarre on Blair's end and gave me bad vibes. So I stopped watching her.
Instincts were good I guess
I agree! She’s made videos on things I’m actually apart of, and I don’t know who her sources were, but they’re so far off base and yet she talks about these opinions of hers as facts. Red flag for biased journalism 🚩
100% I used to like her until a point where I felt things started getting to her head... she was awful to Cruel Happy World, whom I have been following since...Edited: Cruel World Happy Mind
@@SabiAll Do you mean Cruel World Happy Mind? What happened there?
@@SamGarretti understand exactly what u mean i picked up on it too it’s a certain tone they have i thought i was just being over analytical lol
I dropped her like a wet sandwich a LONG time ago when she involved herself in the Slazo situation and then quietly deleted and pretended like she did nothing wrong with no apology or retraction.
Wait, Slazo? How did that happen??
Please give context!
I dropped her around about he time of her Autism speaks series, she MILKED that, and I'm autistic and it felt so wrong to see her milking a serious issue with a seriously dodgy non profit
@@kaicarp5753 wait i thought she made only one video on it-honestly tho its just so funny to me that she profitted off covering autism speaks yet is ableist herself lmao
(Im autistic myself too!)
Oh snap I didn’t even know she was involved in that!!! Wow so shady and I remember feeling SO BAD about slazo 😭😭😭
This whole thing has been soooo creepshow art it hurts 😂 ironic considering she was DRAGGING shannon when her cancellation was going on
Unpolluted her years ago as she gave off the same vibes as creepshow. When people go hard after others they often seem to be projecting.
Unfollowed, wth autocorrect
really appreciate the chuckle I've gotten the times Markie's expressed confusion about how to pronounce Blair's channel name because it didn't occur to me that "naughty" and "Illuminati" don't necessarily rhyme in every accent
and I really, really needed that chuckle this time because The Click's video gets pretty sad
illuminorty
to be fair, some words are NOT "bad words" all around the world. some are just everyday conversational words in places while being the worst thing ever in other.
Him not knowing it's bad HERE till 2020 isn't actually surprising or out of pocket. It probably is just fine where he is from/living.
It's fine where my brother lives but not here in NH. different places, different ideas.
a prime example too is the word cunt, here in aussie it can be used as a compliment, "my mate, oh he's a legendary cunt" but in other countries it's an insult.
And let’s not forget that the n-word in the Spanish language literally only means black
shout out to australians saying cunt all the time lmao
Context matters too, like when friends are just roasting each other. In my friend group I'd need a recorder on at all times for all the hilarious and creative insults that are flying around!
@@Loaves_of_Cat that's NOT the same word .... not even spelled or pronounced the same...
Markie’s reaction to Clicky’s voice is me every day watching Click videos. I legit got emotional watching his video, it was so heartbreaking seeing someone who’s always so wholesome so upset.
As a new subscriber, I’m so glad you’re covering this. I’ve always thought illuminaughti tended to present opinions as facts, and could be really harmful with some of the videos she’s posted.
Love your videos Markie!
Yeah I started to notice that about her videos.
Also the fact that Click had all this info this whole time and didn’t just immediately put a hit piece out on Blair over this speaks volumes to his character as a person
I use to watch her but then saw biased research in some of her videos and stopped. It wasn't the fact some of the stuff she was saying was wrong or biased, no one can get everything right and maybe I am biased as well, but constantly deleting comments from people trying to correct her showed me she doesn't actually care. All of this just confirms my decision to stop watching :/
I stoped watching her because I got a weird feeling from some of her videos. Sometimes she would just brush over facts that I new about from European news or I felt like the video was a bit one sided. I didn’t know what exactly was wrong. I just slowly stopped watching her content. Now I’m really glad 😂
Also all her different side businesses made me wonder how much she actually wants to expose bad people or just promote herself…
I not only found bias, some of her 'facts' were false. I dropped her long ago because of it.
The thing with the R slur is The Click Swedish and English is his second language. The end of his video just broke my heart. He was so devastated to finally put together what she was doing at the end.
Edit: the thing to consider when a person learns a second language they aren’t taught words to avoid and why aside from obvious ones. The R word was unfortunately a more prevalent slur in English language in the 90’s and before.
Edit 2: It is understandable if you don’t follow him you would never know that English is his second language.
Markie: *says something I'm mildly disappointed in him to hear, like doubting ESL ppl not knowing specific slurs*
Also Markie, 10 minutes later: *realizes he was mistaken about context and takes it back*
And that's why he's my favorite commentary YTer 👏🏽
I watched her videos because I thought the level of research she did into the subjects she chose was impressive and entertaining. Researching and writing a script like that is nothing to sneeze at.
But it becomes a lot less impressive after finding out that she has simply plagiarized other people's work before.
You start thinking, _well if she did it on [this] video then how do you know she's not doing the exact same thing on other videos?_
No thank you.
Edit; Holy cow, I just finished the video. What an absolute lunatic 😳
She actually hires a large team that does most if not all the research, writing, editing etc.
He seemed so genuinely heartbroken during that edit. I watched his whole video and he was pretty put together throughout the whole thing but that edit where he provides the added context was like a punch in the gut
People who have English as a 1st language will be surprised how many words people innocently use unknowingly of its implications, because they're taught what its definition is, not its history.
it's horrible that she did this to him, i watch both yours and the clicks channel regularly and seeing him so sad at the end is just heartbreaking, you can just hear the pain in his voice. thank you for making a video on this topic it was an amazing video as always.
Honestly click is both cursed and wholesome and you should definitely watch some of his stuff
Hellsome.
blursed
@@magicalronin I'm going to be using that, thank you.
I think Click didn't know not to use the R-word because in his country, it's perfectly acceptable, according to my friends who live in the Netherlands.
you'd be shocked what slurs are totally normal in his home country. yikes on trikes!
@@iamnotaconcept It is actually a slur here in The Netherlands, but many slurs are just openly said here. Doesn't make it more normal though
edit: but maybe the problem here is more translation. not knowing what the R-word really means or something.
I also read in other comments that he is Swedish, I don't know if it is also seen as a slur in Sweden.
@@emilymelis6611 right right. defs does not make it okay. just more of an understanding as to why he may have been using that word when he was learning english, primarily from online gaming.
@@emilymelis6611 ah so its the same as in latin america then huh lol i wasnt born in latin america but all of my family are immegrants from Brazil and its far more normalized to say derogatory words and slurs casually like its no big deal then it is in canada & america for example
@@iamnotaconcept alot of kids even those who are native english speakers end up saying slurs & derogatory terms not knowing they are slurs & derogtory terms cause of grown gamers influencers i swear 😭
I atopped watching Illuminaughtii years ago. She had a habit that really turned me off - if someone disagreed with her in comments she didn't ignore it like most creators. Instead she'd make a big deal out of it. Read the comment in a silly voice, mock the commenter, really try and tear into them in front of the audience.
It felt one-sided and bullying, considering the power imbalance and how the person she was harassing wasn't able to defend themselves. Not classy at all. Gave me real bad vibes so I stopped watching her.
I'm still surprised that she turned out to be so venomous. Weaponizing pedo stuff to hurt innocent people is beyond gross.
If you say "illuminati" with an American accent, you will find that the last two syllables sound remarkably similar to the word "naughty" with an American accent.
I have such a whiplash from how fast Illuminaughtii started posting again💀💀💀 like she posted a video 3hrs ago??? In fact, she's been posting overtime. If that's not trying to run away from your problems then I don't know what is. I have to cackle from how bizzare that behaviour is. The devil works hard but sistah works harder🙏🏼
I feel so bad for The Click. He looks heartbroken towards the end of his video...
English is my second language, and i can attest that learning a second language is more than just knowing how to say words in a different way, the way you speak, context and cultural implications of certain words dont translate properly, so yes, it takes a while for you to get a grasp of what words are acceptable or not.
People on the English side of the internet like to think that everyone thinks alike and understands each other perfectly but that is mostly because everyone that is from different cultures adapt to the norm when speaking english.
yeah and there’s no classes that teach you cultural context, you have to be lucky and stumble into it, i only found out about the n word cause a foreign student came here, and all he told me was that it’s a bad word and if americans hear me saying it they’ll hurt me
Yeah. I work with a lot of people who English is their second language. I think it's absolutely delightful when I say a word and they ask questions about what it means or say it's a nice word that they want to use. It also makes me consider who strange English is, I once went up to a coworker and said he seemed chipper. He was so confused and was like "chipper? Did you just say chipper? Like wood-chipper?" And I had to explain it meant happy and upbeat. But I don't understand why lol.
Right on time. Poor Click, jesus.
It was heartbreaking to see Click so sad in the clip he inserted with the white shirt. I don’t think he ever expected her to be behind this alt account. You can see the sadness in his face.
English is his 3rd language, that he was learning 10-12 years. English is my 2nd language and before TH-cam became a HUGE thing I didn’t know much about cultural stuff other then what I could see on movies and shows…
I think Blair should take some time off cuz there’s simply NO excuse for what she did…
I used to be a fan of Sad Milk, their videos made me laugh and I loved their personalities. When it started falling apart, I followed the Click and One Topic at a Time to their own channels. I am so frustrated and angry that Blair has been doing this to Click for so long. I was bullied at one of my jobs by a very spiteful, petty person and it made my life hell to the point that I voluntarily took redundancy when staff needed to be reduced. What the Click has been going through must feel very similar.
In defense of Click using a word that he didn't know was a slur, I can easily see how that would happen. You can get really good at a language, but if you're not actively living in the culture for quite a period of time then there is always context you won't have.
If he was hearing gaming friends use the word regularly, then it would seem normal to him, having no other experience that would tell him otherwise. And a lot of people do use that word.
Callum, you often say things like "she's completely mental." Most people don't have a problem with that. However, if English is your second language and you hear people say "you're mental" and "you're r*t*rded" regularly, how would you differentiate which one is considered a slur and which isn't if you had no other context?
This drama has been nothing, but a win for The Click. Everyone has been flocking to his video to hear about Blair, and then they get sucked in by his voice, and can never leave! 😆
I watched Click's full video and it really bothered me to see him get so upset. The fact Blair went to such extremes to bring him down is genuinely really alarming, it's obsessive.
Another note: Yeah his voice is perfect
People need to understand that not everyone experiences equal parts of the internet (or media in general) when growing up, especially outside of the US and the UK. It's not the same culture and will never be. I often find myself telling friends about how certain words shouldn't be used even if they used to think they were okay because of how often they saw them being used.
I used to be such a fan of her channel even though I didnt agree with everything she said as she's like extreme in her views sometimes... Have since unsubscribed
I remember watching her video and thinking to myself, *wow this is weird, a lot of her “apologies “ were moreso just to pat herself on the back *. I quit after the claims about the discord because that kinda stuff turns my stomach. It felt like she was calling on a witch hunt for any other content creators mentioned, she completely left out the fact that the discord situation was handled as soon as possible. Hopefully the victim involved is safe and not being bothered by anyone. In regards to her channel, I didn’t even know about any of her past controversies until my brother mentioned that she was a bad person and had a nasty habit of starting fights on twitter
"Oh ew his voice is beautiful!" This is why we love watching you
It's nuts, I even remember seeing the name of her alt around, bc I thought the Doofenschmirtz reference was funny. Click had no clue, even said he thought the account was just a troll. It's heartbreaking. I'd be paranoid forever.
P.S.
Finally, someone who understands my "embarrassment by proxy" experiences. I could walk naked down the street and not feel anything, but I can barely even watch tv shows without being cripplingly embarrassed for characters.
It's really weird to see she open the door to this with such a thoughtless tweet. I wonder what was going on that day.
Markie, the Click's voice is God-send, but no one beats your awesome humour!
They'd definitely be a power couple
Omg I love his voice. I run to check his channel, but sadly his content seems to be mostly rection/reading the reddit stuff. If he ever gets into more commentary/deep dive stuff... sign me in!
In the recent video I said that I have gotten creepshow art vibes from illuminaughti... now I get it even more.
Click's real name is Mark Deck, he has a TH-cam channel under that name with his music...
He also has some delightful ASMR vids too.
man, your "no no no no no no noooo" interspersed with his silky smooth Swedish suaveness was honestly just. peanut butter and chocolate in a very weird way. peanut butter and bacon? idk. surstromming and jellied eel? lol. either way I love it, you've got a great voice on ya.
She's been posting normally as if this isn't a big deal. Really irks me how she's treated people.
English is my 4th language. Definitely sometimes I picked up a now bad word via internet thinking it was normal internet slang. Of course not an excuse. I was 13 naive, not double checking meanings as I probably should have etc.back then I also didn’t know how MUCH tone CAN change a word from okayish to heck no. When I then moved to UK I had to learn a COMPLETELY new book of sentences, tone etc despite having had spent 4 years in a british school abroad doing GCSE’s etc.
So like Cliccy I also had to learn loads and admit mistakes etc. what we learn from books is absolutely NOT irl use of the english language !
English isnt the Click's 1st language... so not knowing a word is taboo, is reasonable, even up to 2020 XD
It's super convenient how Blair left that fact out. My mother's first language is Spanish, so I've seen personally how there are words that could be okay/have a different context from one culture to another.
He wasnt aware the click was Swedish at first, he corrected himself later on in the video
About the pronunciation of her name: in (most) American accents, iiluminaughtii (with a 'naughty' at the end) and Illuminati (the conspiracy) are pronounced the same, so it's a play on words. I guess that's probably not the case in English-esque accents lol
I saw The Click's entire video and I especially agree with his statement that this is not just personal drama between ex-friends/colleagues.
By this point it's clear Blair's behavior is not just an angry or hurt friend who reacted out of emotion, or someone who wasn't a great person in the past and changed. She is still currently displaying a constant, intentional, and focused pattern of bullying and abusive actions, to a scarily obsessive level.
Her behavior *is not* normal, the amount of people she has done this to and the lengths she was willing to go (paying _$200_ for dirt on someone) to me says she is not in a stable place mentality and hasn't been in a very long time.
She's sounding more and more like CreepShow Art with every new bit of information and it's kind of scary, ngl.
Blair is on Creepshow Art's level of sociopathy... 'I'm not a stalker'. 🥴
Laughing at your comments regarding Mark's voice. One of my bests friends found him a couple months ago and they used Click's videos to fall sleep 😂 yes, is really beautiful
Oh yup, this stuff is INSANE! I'm so glad that more people are seeing the clicks video. I feel so bad that he had to put up with all that BS. I recommend everyone watching the full video.
Your reactions were hilarious 😂
I watched her videos when she was doing Reddit videos about neckbeards and mlm groups. Her videos were the best escape a few years ago when I was going through a bad breakup, she was super involved in her comment sections too. I vaguely remember her talking about sad milk but I explored a bunch of other content and only watched her videos occasionally if at all over time. This whole situation has been incredibly confusing and disappointing because of who I thought she was as a person.
Markie reaction to the guys voice makes me laugh. Its my reaction to 😂
I'm Norwegian, and the R word was about the same level of offensive as "idiot." And it was not at all offensive to say "That's R,", since it wasn't aimed at a person. It just meant "that's stupid." No one thought about disabilities. It was just a trendy word, and then it fell out of use. And since it fell out of use, no one updated me that it was now considered a slur in English, because no one said it anymore. I learned it had become a slur in 2016, because I was some nasty commenters used the word, and got called out for it.
This is wild to me, I used to watch everyone in the sad milk group every day and to see this now? It’s heart breaking. I can only imagine what it’s like to be in the clicks shoes.
Ive watched so many videos about this drama but you were by far the most amusing 😂 Lusting over Cliccy Thiccy is so relatable 😅
As a non-english speaker, yeah it's actually really easy to believe that he wouldn't learn about slurs until a lot later compared to native speakers. Especially because online, people who are ok with using slurs blend them into their normal casual speak, so they don't really register as anything special. But people who care about slurs will refuse to name them regardless of context and meaning of use, making it EXTREMELY hard to learn them properly.
Like... this thing has been happening to me a lot. I'll come across someone saying "the [whaveter letter]-slur" and I won't immediately recognize the term. I'll ask "hey, I am not familiar, what is that slur? I'd like to learn it so I can avoid it". And the answer I've gotten at least the last five times is vage, not really the actual word but some beating around the bush "figure it out yourself" answer. They'll say "the one that rhymes with [whatever]" or "the one that is like this other word but with this letter changed".
The result? Most times I have no idea what the slur is. If I do, I forget it really soon. And so, I am pretty sure at some point I'll use a slur I don't recognize, and someone will call me a bigot because no one was willing to educate me on it. Yeah, I believe the click here.
PS: I know that MARKIE adressed this later in the video, but I am leaving this here anyways. I just keep hoping that talking about it will help change how the internet handles this kind of thing, because I think it's pretty messed up.
thanks for your work! there's too much to watch and figure all out myself 🤣 especially since it started to become a lot of pointing fingers to one another
Click sounded so devastated when he realized the thing about the alt account. I feel so bad for him. He is such a kind and supportive person, and didn't deserve any of this drama. 😐
I was a very casual viewer of blair’s after getting recommended a random video of hers last year and these discord messages are blowing my mind. I watched her original video without knowing any of the other people or context and was semi weirded out but had no idea what was going on. then she kept uploading as usual so thank you for making these videos because I had no idea
I only recently discovered the click and I adore him immensely
Thank you for following up on this, we need more mainstream creators to cover the responses. She is creepshow art lite.
I love that Def Noodles’ name showing up is what finally totally broke you here
I can totally relate to the '2nd hand embarrassment' thing. Sometimes I end up peaking between my fingers (with my hands covering my face) when someone does something so cringe, even on a movie or tv show. But I guess _someone_ should feel embarrassed over this dumpster fire, God knows Blair has no shame.
I'm still trying to get my mic to sound good with my voice. A tube warmer does wonders for any type of microphone, which I think is what he's using. That's why it sounds so warm, and soothing. Also, the microphone being so close isolates his voice super well. I need to do the same thing to get mine to sound decent lol.
Try adding the googly eyes :)
As a fellow Swede and in the same age range as the click, even I didn’t know that the R word was a slur and shouldn’t be used
I am 35 and was diagnosed as Mentally Retarded. So the R-slur, as it's called, was not a slur when I was growing up. I, too, only recently learned that it isn't a medical diagnosis, but rather a slur now. I also grew up extremely sheltered and only recently really spent more time in online spaces and even so mostly just chill with small groups of artists and nerds so I can absolutely see how somebody wouldn't know it's a slur until 2020 (Because like. I didn't know either)
It means he is in my age group, and he might have been a kid in the time that it WAS actually a diagnosis. (I have Autism and ADHD, and am very slow. "Retarded" basically just means "Slowed" and that was always how I saw it - a way to describe that I was very slow to learn things and pick things up. I have used that word a TON growing up, and even still do because to ME it's reclaiming something that was not a slur in the first place.)
The Legal Eagle really is brilliant. Blair attacked him online, he responded kindly, and then stepped back and watch the snowball start rolling. My dude didn't even flinch.
Dude I watch Click on the regular, and listening to the tone of voice when he is explaining the whole alt account thing, it just pained me, cause you can just *hear* how much this upset him.
I've never even heard of Illuminaughtii until the whole editing thing, but watching creators implode like this gives a whole new meaning to "one born every minute".
learning which cuss words are fine and not when ur not english is pretty difficult ngl. The R slur i saw being used pretty often so i was late to the realization of it being a bad word too ngl
Yes, his voice is a thing of beauty. I have commented on his videos a couple of times that he should do book narration because I would love to hear that voice in my ear for 10-12 straight hours XD
He has, you can search for him on audible 😊
@@Below.average.version wait, what?? I don’t think I would know what to search for
@@r.leighmorgan he also does ASMR videos and makes music (search Mark Deck on yt, his real name)
The Click actually wrote it all down - the harrassment from Blair's alt acct - as a rando troll. And the realization it's been Blair all along actually broke him a little, not brought him relief :(
4:11 "maybe that's true, who knows"
soooo looking forward to seeing Markie's reaction when the receipts pop up hehe
Speeding to a markie video gonna get me a ticket
Your reaction is absolutely priceless, i needed this video today 😂🙏🏻 this story is so insane it must be true!
I should have realized once I found out her name was Blair. All Blairs I've ever interacted with were all giant see you next Tuesdays.
witnessing Markie join in with The Click simping is amazing
Markie really did a Click fangirl speedrun
I'm 31,and I didn't know the R word was a slur until last year. I knew it wasn't a nice descriptor, but didn't know it was a slur. To be fair,society has changed soo much in the last couple of years, that it can be hard to keep up with what is/isn't acceptable behaviour now
FYI in the US we pronounce Illuminati like naughty
Already watched Clicks Video, but waiting for yours to watch instead of any other "drama" channel video about it. Thank you, the waiting was worth it 😬🎉❤
Damn. It’s probably been said but Blair’s giving serious Creepshow Art vibes
oh definitely. they're both manipulative hypocritical stalkers, hell-bent on ruining the life of someone who did nothing wrong to them.
I knew there was something off about illuminaughtii. It was the energy behind her delivery for me. I didn’t know about the other drama. Vibes 😉
9:37 not to make excuses for him its still wrong but Click is Swedish and English is his second language.
I read in another comment that English is his third language, so I would definitely not expect him to know all of its nuances.
He learnt about it and stopped using it. And hasnt used it since. That counts for a lot. He didnt know. He learnt. He changed and showed it through consistency.
And I do wanna add, I have been harmed by the r slur. Badly. It still makes me flinch even as an adult.
In regard to the past language use, even within the same country, depending on where you grow up you can be surrounded by people with vastly different views and may not get a chance to experience a different context until much later in life. Click is someone not only from a different country to what is probably the vast majority of his audience but also someone with English as a second language.
People like to blanket statement “oh it’s 2020 you should know better” “oh you’re mid-20’s you should know better” but if you don’t have the context how are you supposed to know better? You can’t learn to not do or say something if you’ve never been given the context it’s wrong.
The Click obviously got the context in 2020, learned, and has done better and he’s quite transparent about it which I think gives further credibility to him💜
9:16 I also didn't know the r word was derogatory until around that time, me and my friends just used it as a way to say stupid. So I don't think it's wild that other people didn't know either
This whole thing is so bizarre! Really eye opening who Blair is... And the receipts to back up every single thing is just wow!! This was awesome to listen to with these two voices... Markie feeling it too ❤ @Markie thanks for the second video, looking forward to what you cover next. Good day sir!
I've been a subscriber of Click for a very long time. He's a well educated man with a very good sense of right and wrong. For this woman to make the claims against him is just an jealousy attack against someone who is loved and respected. I'm very angry, but Click doesn't need me to attack her, so I won't. I will clearly say, I hope Karma has a good handle on this, and I will wait till the outcome of that. Stay healthy, happy and safe always. Blessed be
as someone with english as a second language, not only do you not get the historical context of some words sometimes, but foe some reason words always sound way more hurtful and offensive in your own language. It's like there is some sort of disconnect where saying shit for example has a lot less impact than saying mierda, so if you learn a second language and start picking up words and idioms from media and the internet, sometimes you don't have the full understanding of the impact of some words.
