The "parasocial" part comes in with people obsessively following and worshipping popular people with regards to their private life drama. Like, I dunno, getting obsessed with a content creator just because they're pregnant, and getting upset over them turning out to have faked a miscarriage. Her video blowing up compared to the usual size of her channel proves that she gained new audience members, who literally only clickes because "muh baby". The question is, why do you care? The answer is, because of parasocial relationships. Because you project your expectations onto someone else across the internet. Again. 15 years ago if I popped in a Jim Carrie DVD I rented, and then I said I hate Jim Carrie, he's not even funny, people would ask the obvious question: why did you rent it then? Today we treat an indie comedian differently, because, again, of parasocial relationships and the lack of social divide a platform like RUclips represents compared to, say, a theater stage or movie studio.
Thinking that having basic empathy is "a weird parasocial thing" is one of the most sociopathic things I've heard. and I know that the word is overused but I feel it fits, someone going so far as to think that "another human having the basic minimum regard for another human being is weird and too much" is incomprehensible, unless there is mental disconnect involved. I think this might also be some attempt at an "edgy joke", and the parasocial relationship part of the conversation is ironic and she knows full well she is encouraging parasocial relationships for money, but it is so tone deaf and landed so wrong that only an incredibly stupid person would have done this.
@@princessqueen6881 a one sided relationship where one person thinks there is a relationship and that they know someone and have a personal connection, while the other person doesn't have that connection or knowledge of the other person. Feeling empathy or compassion for someone else doesn't mean you think you know the other person or have a relationship with them, just that you have empathy for another's suffering or perceived suffering. So saying that having empathy or feeling happy for someone is parasocial is not what it means, and that is the mistake the creator that did the "prank" made.
My wife was pregnant, at her 12 week ultrasound we discovered we lost the baby. I saw it break that woman, and she has fought back and become a stronger person from it. She told me not a day goes by that she doesnt think about it. (It was about 3 months ago) To fake pregnancy, fake a miscarriage, and pry donations from misdirected sympathy is ignorant, self-entitled, insensitive, and cruel. I can honestly say, from for all us husbands who had to bunker down and be a Rock for a grieving partner, Fuck You Lady.
Yes! Thank you! We lost our baby at 15 weeks. I had to labor at home & gave birth to a dead baby that was the size of my hand. Your wife is a warrior & you're an amazing husband for being the rock she needed. Lots of love & happiness for you guys & hope you have a healthy happy baby when you guys get pregnant again!
I’m sorry Mark. My wife has had a miscarriage but it was early. We are now pregnant again and it is very very scary. We don’t want to get hopes up but how can’t you? Be as present as you can and please use therapy. Helped my wife and I a TON.
I’ve had two ectopic pregnancies leaving me unable to have kids, losing two pregnancies and my ability to have a child have absolutely destroyed me. I can’t tell you how furious this makes me and also how sad.
So sorry to hear what you went through and what you are still going through. You're so so strong and courageous and I hope you know that many people are rooting for you. Please take care ❤
@@9roselove9Not everyone has that kind of money. Adopting is a very long expensive process. It’s also the fact that naturally as humans we want to spread our genes and create a little human with our partners. It’s not as simple as “oh you can adopt tho so why are you complaining” you don’t know this persons life from one comment. Your statement was very thoughtless. This person is mourning the possibility of ever carrying a baby and the loss of two babies and that’s what you say? Just say nothing.
I know someone who's had miscarriages before. It crushed her, both physically and emotionally. Imagine being so sick in the head you think you can fake having YOUR OWN BABY DIE, and think it'll be fine. This person is disgusting.
True. Losing a child to a miscarriage that you most likely would love to raise and watch grow must be a real nightmare and it must be giving a lot of trauma to the person and/or family experiencing it. It’s heartbreaking where humanity is going. Also I hope the person you know feels better now and takes care of herself
Imagine having children when we are already headed towards max capacity AND there are plenty of kids who need parents already alive but you want sympathy bc you can’t have your own? Weird
You are kinda calling the sky blue here. This is all pretty obvious . I'm not sure who this comment is for, but certainly not for me. Good for you, though . Keep stating the obvious I believe in you kid
Yeah it happened to me after hearing the heart beat and weeks later when they should be able to hear it with an external I can't remember what it was called but they couldn't hear it and the emergency ultrasound caused me to have an dnc because my body didn't realize for like 3 weeks made it worse I hate people like this
I can't stand the "professional" tone she's trying have, like girl, you putting on a freshman student reading their first college essay voice won't make what you did even remotely sane or reasonable.
Disregarding the fact that she lied abt the pregnancy..she argues "you connected with something that's not real" when what tf are um idk..BOOKS..MOVIES..GD PLAYS. People have been connecting with fictional 'not real' things FOREVER!! AND SHE SAYS IT LIKE SHES COME UP WITH SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY 😵😤(not to mention the reason people connect with fiction is because it is based off of real life events and human emotions/experiences SMH)
Connecting with things that don't exist is a fundamental part of the human mind, and is something we've been experiencing since the very dawn of civilization. We've also done incredibly vile actions, as a result of these same things. One of the better examples being the Aztec blood sacrifices dedicated towards the god Huitzilopochtli where they would quite literally carve the heart from an individual's chest following a ceremony within a temple. Holding this heart up towards the sun as tribute to an ethereal being that never existed in the first place. So yeah, even in a universe where this actually was a social experiment regarding "parasocial relationships" and "connecting with things that aren't real" she would still look completely mad.
So, not only did she miss the point of what a parasocial relationship is, but she also managed to offend and hurt a lot of people who's been through a traumatic experience along the way. Way to go!
@@MsKeebeShe's definitely making the worse one too. She made the channel at 15 so random strangers online literally watched her grow up and now she's making a patreon that will only make more people have that gross attachment while knowing even more about their personal life. This idiot is trying to be the next chris chan💀
She gets it just fine, because she knows people who have a parasocial relationship with her will now think "this is wrong, I need to pay her to have a _real_ relationship with her".
What a great contribution to the conversation. Thanks for stating the obvious. You dont have much to offer in thoughts but you offered what you could . Even if it's seriously unimpressive
@@StyxxOfDidymosWhat a great contribution to this conversation. Thanks for stating the obvious. You don’t have much to offer in thoughts but you offered what you could in this meaningless ass reply. How disappointing.
Faking a miscarriage is genuinely horrible. The amount of people who’ve had miscarriages and ended up never being able to let go or maybe even have trauma is so sad. Shame on this girl.
I feel so sad that all this backlash made her quit RUclips. I understand what all of you are saying but what she does is funny to some of us people. I didn't want to say this but her videos was one of the things which stopped me from committing s**cide. No rules/laws were broken when she made that video, that's all there is to it really
@yaseminreblin2646 That’s not a political view, it’s a moral view that has been politicized. Both involve the death of a fetus, both are tragic in my opinion. I’m a libertarian so I’m not against abortion and I’m not a conservative.
It’s really mentally, and usually physically, exhausting and damaging. My mother went through a miscarriage and we all went through the emotions with her. It really is horrid to see stuff like THIS being done irl.
I honestly kinda hate it when people say, “it was a social experiment.” Social experiments are cool *when it’s done right* but this might as well be just clickbait and trying to gain views
Don't they only say that when they get caught? Did the faking cancer one say the same thing? oh wait, there are so many I lost track. Hate these people.
As an actual pregnant lady in her 1st trimester, miscarriage is my greatest fear. This is just miserable and insensitive. Thanks August for bringing this to light. Thank you for all the warm wishes! Everyone who is currently my prayers are with you, those with new babies enjoy every second for us! Hope everyone can carry to term !
I’m 36 weeks right now and the anxiety is so real. Until I could regularly feel him move, I was so worried something would happen. I still worry from time to time when he’s extra sleepy. I can’t imagine joking about something like that. It’s awful
my nan lost TWO babies when she was pregnant with my mother, 50+ years later and she still finds it incredibly difficult to talk about the two babies who couldve been and miscarriage in general. faking it is absolutely vile
My mother lost a baby before I was accidentally conceived. She still refers to the baby as my brother or sister in heaven. My parents decided on having only two children and if that baby survived, I would not be here because dad had himself tied off.
I've gone through 4 miscarriages. The last was a set of twins. It's devastating, heartbreaking, and, for me, extremely depressing. Women who fake miscarriages make my blood boil. It's not something to fake. It's a very painful experience, and I will never forget my 5 babies that I lost.
If you’re still trying I hope you get your rainbow baby😭 the love you have is immense. I hope things turn out the best for you, nobody should have to go through all that loss.
I’m sorry for your loss too. I’ve lost all of mine. It’s heartbreaking and I will never fully be the same. Now I’m 41, and I’m afraid my dream of being a mother is slipping away. This girl really triggered me and enraged me.
I have recently had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago, currently I am still trying to feel better. I also have one 4 year old daughter already and I am thankful that she did not pass away on her birth, she was born when her organs were not developed fully but she could be saved. I find it extremely difficult to think how someone can think it's okay to "joke" or fake about losing a baby
I had a miscarriage at 16. I've legit had a friend try to say I faked my miscarriage for attention. I fucking miss that child and I would've loved them more than God loves us. Within the first two years, I couldn't talk about any baby stuff or even look at it without crying. I'm starting to get better now, I'm 19. I will always remember my baby, I miss you so much Kroe
@@zeldaxninja3214bro are you illiterate or something the signs are pretty obvious and they don’t say” tell a woman who had a miscarriage that you can’t love a child more than god”
@DanielJacobs-rz1zl If locking an update video behind a $50 pay wall to know about her life updates and exclusive access to messaging her isn't actively encouraging and perpetuating parasocial relationships... then what is? 💀
I have had two miscarriages, and I mourn my lost babies every year. It's really not a funny "stunt" to pull Edit: Thank you everyone for your kindness. While I remember the babies I lost, my fiance and I have been blessed with a beautiful child who is almost 18 months. She is happy, healthy and the light of my life.
I hope something can and/or will help you in your situation, therapy is a worth while investment. As for this girl in the video that August was talking about: she is the most greedy self surrounding lowlife I've seen for a while
I commented on the initial video and genuinely felt for her as someone who got pregnant at 20. I offered empathy as I understood how scared she must have been. The way I jumped out of my seat when I thought she miscarried.. and the anger I have felt ever since finding out it was all a lie. I’m so glad everyone is as disgusted by her as I am. I enjoyed her content even though she hasn’t posted in so long. I’m just genuinely so disgusted.
i saw your comment! its genuinely so odd that so many people were defending her with the "its just a joke" excuse and attacking you for having valid concern. sorry that you went through that
Wow. I HATE people like this !! I lost my son, and first child, Shiloh Daniel when I was 5 months pregnant ! Grieving a baby you never got to meet is very weird but so hard.. But no one prepares you for the VERY HIGH anxiety you have when you get pregnant again. Plus the PTSD you get from all the blood you lose during childbirth, because it reminds you of the time you lost your baby plus almost your own life. So joking about a miscarriage, is horrible. Not only does she NOT know how it feels but the aftermath. The dark thoughts you have of just wanting to be with that baby you lost, feeling those phantom kicks and flutters just wishing your baby was still there, and getting pregnant again after the loss, is just something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. This woman is DISGUSTING. Not worth the air she breathes..
I am so so sorry for your loss 😢 and hopefully she learns from this but I highly doubt it. It's never okay to "joke" about such difficult and heartbreaking topics. She clearly has no clue how awful it truly is.
When my mother was pregnant with me, she started having complications. The Dr said I had a great chance of not making it and miscarry. That was very traumatizing for her, but I made it. Someone taking a situation where parents lose their children before they are born, and trying to fake and get money off of it is sickening.
Faking a miscarriage is making me sick to my gut. There are actually people out there, going through real miscarriages and getting heartbroken. I am disappointed in humanity at this point. Edit: Oh my God this is the most likes I’ve ever gotten, thank you!!❤️
@@missfortune8553everyone does but coming from her it doesn’t sound too great, i get the feeling her narcissistic tendencies are a little higher than the average person
@@missfortune8553the issue is that she is relying on ad hominem argument to deflect criticism. It is true that most people have narcisism tendency to some degree, some more than the other (to the point where one may be considered clinically narcist), but that's not the main point in this situation
Anyone who's ever gone through a miscarriage I want you to know that just because she faked it, doesnt mean I will believe anyone else would fake something this serious. You're all so valid, I'm so sorry to anyone who saw this honestly. Your pain isn't something someone should joke about.
"You're not real people to me" I think this is the crux of the issue with her 'experiment'. She also has absolutely zero idea about how internet works? Like, people saying something nice to her in the comments under her pregnancy annoucemnt or giving her encourgement isn't exactly parasocial. I think a good example, actually, can be comment section on youtube. A lot of times, when someone, shares that something bad happened, like idk they lost their spouse a lot of people in replies will be like "I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing alright". and they don't know that person, at all. they don't think they know that person.
My daughter passed on the 1st of this month I was 19 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage is nothing to be joking around with. Once you see your child’s lifeless body after surgery, that’s the most unbearable feeling ever and would never wish on my worst enemy. Rip Zoey 5/1/24 we love you 💕
Do you know what makes this action worse? She lied to her audience for two weeks before this follow-up. As a result, people would realistically buy that she actually went through the miscarriage.
You are acting like she is just any other microinfluencer trying to sell a product. She's a comedian, been doing this kind of stuff for like over 6 years. it's dishonest to throw a tantrum over such an obvious bit lol.
I find it ironic that she said this was supposedly a social experiment on parasocial relationships, while also trying to ask for money from fans at the end of it. Not only that, but said fans, when people critique her, now flock to this video upset that she’s being critiqued cause it’s “all a joke! “ “Satire” “dark humor” like.. whatever man
I've had a miscarriage. It's a traumatic experience. It's extremely painful. The hormones are crazy. The body takes a while to go back to normal. I went through guilt and shame. It was like I had no control over my body. Luckily no D&C for me but I was so scared. It's a haunting experience. It's not something to fake. I think she should be held liable for the money.
To be honest she said narcissistic tendencies, which is different from being narcissist, and she is somewhat right, according to psychiatrists humans generally have. Narcissistic tendencies, especially those who have subject to trauma.
Not looking for sympathy... my husband and i finally made it past the first trimester after 2 years.. had a miscarriage that almost killed me too.. people like this are absolutely disgusting.
As someone who had a miscarriage twice and still dealing with it for years, this is so heartless. Influencers will do everything now even crossing the line to get money.
She really faked a miscarriage just to say "parasocial relationships are only allowed if you're paying me" and thought people would support that. Thats a special level of evil and stupid
As someone who has had *five* miscarriages and had a really hard time concieving as well, I am truly disgusted by this girl. This is a very painful and traumatic experience for most -if not all- women that have the misfortune to go through it and no sane person would think what she is doing is okay in any way whatsoever. She should be ashamed of herself. That being said I really hope she never needs to experience a real miscarriage; I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, no matter how shitty of a person they are.
I'm so sorry, you don't deserve to be mocked by this girl in such a disgraceful way. You are such a strong person and a role model for being so strong ❤
@@MaisyFarrell Thank you, 💕 Motherhood has been the greatest experience of my life and despite all I've been through I am truly grateful for my one child I was able to successfully carry to term, he's my world. 🥰
I’m so sorry, my mom had just one and she was devastated for months I can’t imagine what would have happened if she had five. My condolences to you and your mental strength must be off the charts you must be a great mother.
I didn't know who she was when I first saw that she was "pregnant" on RUclips, but at the time I was happy for her. And then I saw a little while later that she had "lost the baby", and as someone who has a baby, I felt sorrow for her. I clicked on the video to send my condolences in the comments and then.... And then she announced that it was all fake. I immediately clicked off the video and felt disgusted. Who in their right mind would pretend to be pregnant and then later pretend to have a miscarriage for their patreon
YES DUDE I'M SO GLAD someone with a platform that has a brain discovered this. When I called what she did weird and questionable the replies I got were people acting like she's some sort of genius philosopher, ahead of her time
Whattttt? Her pregnancy video seemed so genuine and it really took me off guard that everything was fake. A bunch of ppl in the comment section giving her so much support and advice because they were in the same boat. It’s pretty messed up to fake the whole miscarriage especially since a whole lot of ppl go through this trauma- all for a pateron? Really??
It’s very terrible how people fake something very serious like having cancer or having a miscarriage. It’s very insensitive, especially because thousands of people have gone through it and Caroline just calls it a "Joke" or "Test". It’s sad.
She doesn't seem like someone with good people skills at all if she's capable of something like this and not understanding the negative impact it has to drop the whole act
"Social experiment" and "prank" are basically just excuses to be an awful human being at this point. Edit: Just had to facepalm at this bit "the experience of having a parasocial relationship with your audience" The audience has a parasocial relationship with you, not the other way around! It's a one way street, that's the whole reason it's called a parasocial relationship!
I knew Caroline through her music, wasn't that involved, just haha funny songs, saw her pregnancy video on my feed, didn't click just went oh cool good for her, then actually clicked on the one where she "lost her pregnancy" and proceeded to give my first ever downvote on a video. I am so glad I'm not crazy cuz this really seems like something more people would be talking about and nobody else really was. Thanks august for confirming this is actually really effed up
My sister has had multiple miscarriages. One just in November ish of last year while being cheated on. My sister was so excited, so happy, and literally gave up taking her antidepressants that manage her PTSD to have this baby. She was assured this time would be different. The same day she got confirmation from the doctor she was pregnant they also told her that her levels were extremely low and she was at risk for losing the baby. She did. She asked what causes this and they told her she has the same condition our grandma has. It causes early menopause and fertility issues. She had asked her doctor to test her for it when she first started seeing him. He told her that it was highly unlikely and she should be fine. Because of this she lost her baby because she could not get the treatment in time. I watched as my sister sold her baby’s crib, diapers, clothes, and shut her nursery door for the last time all while going through a divorce just weeks after losing this baby. My sister went through more than just a miscarriage. She was medically gaslit and then offered no support when she lost another child. She doesn’t get to hold her baby and I don’t get to hold my niece or nephew. We all lost that chance. For this girl to lie and joke about something that has torn apart and hurt so many families is beyond comprehension to me. She needs real mental health help and I hope she gets it.
I’m genuinely so sorry your sister had to go through that. I hope she’s doing better now I know the feelings associated can last years when things like that happen
Wtf?? A s someone who recently was told by my doctors its physically not safe for me to have a baby (result of major heart issues) and am currently struggling A LOT with this new reality, this ENRAGES ME. This is beyond fucked up. Its so damn disrespectful to people who cant get pregnant or have suffered miscarriages. What an vile person
'We all have some narcissistic qualities' The words some cheap online therapist told her, and this narcissist took that line and ran 100 miles with it as fast as she could.
I never knew anyone personally who had a miscarriage. My dad knew a friend in college who did, and she pretty much shut herself out of the world. Last time anyone spoke to her, she dropped out and may have become homeless. I don't know how anyone can "fake" it for clout. Like wtf!
as someone who lost a would-be sibling due to a miscarriage, it disgusts me how someone could think to make a joke about something this personal and tragically serious.
I honestly don’t mind or take offense to faking a miscarriage as a publicity stunt. Honestly if it was one huge April Fool’s joke I would actually find it kinda funny. But the fact she tried to say its a social experiment is so stupid. Like just say you want money and attention. It’s fucking RUclips. Don’t act like you’re the genius philosopher giving social commentary lmfao
@@chill3282i honestly don’t see how and/or why you would think this would be funny even if it was just a “big April Fools joke” 💀 but yeah, every youtuber does shit for views, likes, money and attention. That’s the whole purpose of youtube. idk why she couldn’t have just led with that
It’s not even a requirement for a relationship being parasocial that one person believes they know the other. The sole requirement is that it is onesided and the other party is a public figure. Example: there’s this podcast I listen to a lot. I like the presenters. They FEEL like friends. I am perfectly aware that they’re not, and that they don’t know me, and that they could be a*holes. Still, it is a parasocial relation. It’s very common and usually not problematic.
This is horrifying. A mother's pain is nothing to laugh or profit off of. She used the word "stunt." I am one of these mothers who have lost a child. I'm disgusted
That is just awful to do, my mom had a miscarriage before me and she tells me all the time how horrible and how depressed she became after loosing the first kid. MISCARRIAGE IS NOT A JOKE! it affects real people and it like so many things is not funny to joke about or get money off of.
She’s made multiple videos with the RUclipsr Oompaville, and he was claiming she was his sister. Since this, all of the videos of them together have been deleted from his channel. Id really like him to talk about her as well, seeming, as they were close friends and are no longer.
First of all, as a mom who has had past miscarriages this is just so infuriating. Not to mention how many women/men in this world who would give ANYTHING to have children, and some people deal with a lot of miscarriages and it can be really traumatic. And don’t even get me started with women in Gaza that tried for years to have a baby just to lose them getting lost under rubble. And this girl decided to fake this, pretend to be pregnant and miscarry that’s just so fucked up on so many levels
"HOOOOLY F*CK!!!" The sheer level of bewilderment in that remark caused me to roar with laughter! I don't think I've ever heard August express so much emotion before!
I’ve had a couple chemical pregnancies before the one I have now (almost 10 weeks woooo), this is soooooo insensitive and one of the worst things you can do as a woman. So many of us struggle with fertility & to do all this just for attention? What a sicko.
I am happy that there's normal people out there just having their own lives. It makes the world feel worth while when you get a brief glimpse into another person's experience. I hope you all the best with this pregnancy and hope your child is happy and healthy. Have a lovely life, matey.
My stepmom ACTUALLY had believe it or not, TEN MISCARRIAGES! And that whole experience was very traumatic for her and everyone around her (including me) and it also caused her and my dad to be emotionally abusive towards me, so someone making this a joke and faking this for attention is fucking despicable.
My friend and her mother have a genetic condition that has caused them to miscarriage that many times. Her mother 11 times. My friend 17 times before she was forced by her doctor to stop trying. Maybe your step mom has the same kind of condition?
@PartyhatRS They were devastated about the fact that they couldn’t have a child of their own, and they took it out on me. It was messed up, but they are better now.
My mom lost twins when i was 6 and ive never seen her that heartbroken. This is terrible she must be stopped. Prayers to all the great moms that lost babies
my best friend is less than a month away from having her baby, and I was adopted at 10 days old due to my mom having 3 miscarriages and deciding that was her safest and most likely path to having a child. I REALLY felt that strong HOLY FCKKK you gave
This reminds me of the incident with Carmen and Corey years ago, and that absolutely just boils my blood that some sickening people use a traumatic happening like this for money. It’s VERY offensive to the women of the world who actually went through that, and, in turn, is traumatizing since, losing a life form…that’s devastating. I’m not a woman, but even I know it’s sad.
I love kids a lot, so miscarriages make my heart shatter, not to mention I also lost a brother due to my mother having a miscarriage. The fact she said it was a "joke" just made me hate her and I've never even seen her before, imagine the pain actual mothers who have lost their children due to miscarriage feel.
this made me think about how vile average people can be, I mean shes not a killer or abuser (I think) but her actions and her thought process is so disturbing and genuinely sickening.
This is so low to the next level, like there are literally millions of women who legit had miscarriages/couldn't have children and this is the type of "stunt" she chose to pull for her own self-interests? SMH absolutely disgusting
I used to watch her songs and literally forgot she existed. This is disgusting. Why on earth would you joke about pregnancy and then make a joke out of losing it? Tons of mothers sadly lose their babies. She lost a sub. And respect. Hate people like this.
How long until this backfires and she pulls the Boogie defense: "Aww yeah you ever see Andy Kaufman fake a pregnancy? It's just an Andy Kaufman bit guys"
When she started pretending to look around for the baby and making an absolute joke out of it I was so dumbfounded. This is so vile it actually hurts me and I can't imagine how much it would hurt parents who lost a baby to miscarriage
Dude my mother was so lucky to have not lost her two only children. Like it's not uncommon to have miscarriages. They can literally destroy a mother to hell and back. It's traumatizing. People need to stop trying to act like they want something that most people don't want to have even if they tried to fake it once.
Feeling bad for a stranger because they miscarried is called empathy. It's a normal human response. Calling it a parasocial relationship is wild.
The "parasocial" part comes in with people obsessively following and worshipping popular people with regards to their private life drama. Like, I dunno, getting obsessed with a content creator just because they're pregnant, and getting upset over them turning out to have faked a miscarriage. Her video blowing up compared to the usual size of her channel proves that she gained new audience members, who literally only clickes because "muh baby".
The question is, why do you care? The answer is, because of parasocial relationships. Because you project your expectations onto someone else across the internet. Again. 15 years ago if I popped in a Jim Carrie DVD I rented, and then I said I hate Jim Carrie, he's not even funny, people would ask the obvious question: why did you rent it then? Today we treat an indie comedian differently, because, again, of parasocial relationships and the lack of social divide a platform like RUclips represents compared to, say, a theater stage or movie studio.
Thinking that having basic empathy is "a weird parasocial thing" is one of the most sociopathic things I've heard. and I know that the word is overused but I feel it fits, someone going so far as to think that "another human having the basic minimum regard for another human being is weird and too much" is incomprehensible, unless there is mental disconnect involved.
I think this might also be some attempt at an "edgy joke", and the parasocial relationship part of the conversation is ironic and she knows full well she is encouraging parasocial relationships for money, but it is so tone deaf and landed so wrong that only an incredibly stupid person would have done this.
@@silvsevie Who are you talking to?
@@silvsevie
I have a quick question.
What does parasocale mean?(I hate spelling.)
@@princessqueen6881 a one sided relationship where one person thinks there is a relationship and that they know someone and have a personal connection, while the other person doesn't have that connection or knowledge of the other person. Feeling empathy or compassion for someone else doesn't mean you think you know the other person or have a relationship with them, just that you have empathy for another's suffering or perceived suffering. So saying that having empathy or feeling happy for someone is parasocial is not what it means, and that is the mistake the creator that did the "prank" made.
My wife was pregnant, at her 12 week ultrasound we discovered we lost the baby. I saw it break that woman, and she has fought back and become a stronger person from it. She told me not a day goes by that she doesnt think about it. (It was about 3 months ago)

I’ve had two ectopic pregnancies leaving me unable to have kids, losing two pregnancies and my ability to have a child have absolutely destroyed me. I can’t tell you how furious this makes me and also how sad.
So sorry to hear what you went through and what you are still going through. You're so so strong and courageous and I hope you know that many people are rooting for you. Please take care ❤
You can always adopt tho…
@@9roselove9....
@@9roselove9Not everyone has that kind of money. Adopting is a very long expensive process. It’s also the fact that naturally as humans we want to spread our genes and create a little human with our partners. It’s not as simple as “oh you can adopt tho so why are you complaining” you don’t know this persons life from one comment. Your statement was very thoughtless. This person is mourning the possibility of ever carrying a baby and the loss of two babies and that’s what you say? Just say nothing.
Can’t imagine how torn you must be, I’m so sorry. 😢❤
I know someone who's had miscarriages before.
It crushed her, both physically and emotionally.
Imagine being so sick in the head you think you can fake having YOUR OWN BABY DIE, and think it'll be fine.
This person is disgusting.
True. Losing a child to a miscarriage that you most likely would love to raise and watch grow must be a real nightmare and it must be giving a lot of trauma to the person and/or family experiencing it. It’s heartbreaking where humanity is going. Also I hope the person you know feels better now and takes care of herself
Don't have to imagine it. Legit a case of it happening right here.
Imagine having children when we are already headed towards max capacity AND there are plenty of kids who need parents already alive but you want sympathy bc you can’t have your own? Weird
You are kinda calling the sky blue here. This is all pretty obvious . I'm not sure who this comment is for, but certainly not for me. Good for you, though . Keep stating the obvious I believe in you kid
Yeah it happened to me after hearing the heart beat and weeks later when they should be able to hear it with an external I can't remember what it was called but they couldn't hear it and the emergency ultrasound caused me to have an dnc because my body didn't realize for like 3 weeks made it worse I hate people like this
I can't stand the "professional" tone she's trying have, like girl, you putting on a freshman student reading their first college essay voice won't make what you did even remotely sane or reasonable.
I think that’s just her voice
To me it comes off as condescending.
@@Sniperboy5551 nah, imho it's the over confidence and cockiness tbh that is made to be passed as 'chill' idk
honestly, I've watched her for years. That's just her voice.
Do you still watch this lying chick?
Disregarding the fact that she lied abt the pregnancy..she argues "you connected with something that's not real" when what tf are um idk..BOOKS..MOVIES..GD PLAYS. People have been connecting with fictional 'not real' things FOREVER!! AND SHE SAYS IT LIKE SHES COME UP WITH SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY 😵😤(not to mention the reason people connect with fiction is because it is based off of real life events and human emotions/experiences SMH)
Typical gen z mindset thinking they invented or discovered things that already have existed for a long time 😅
Connecting with things that don't exist is a fundamental part of the human mind, and is something we've been experiencing since the very dawn of civilization. We've also done incredibly vile actions, as a result of these same things. One of the better examples being the Aztec blood sacrifices dedicated towards the god Huitzilopochtli where they would quite literally carve the heart from an individual's chest following a ceremony within a temple.
Holding this heart up towards the sun as tribute to an ethereal being that never existed in the first place. So yeah, even in a universe where this actually was a social experiment regarding "parasocial relationships" and "connecting with things that aren't real" she would still look completely mad.
So, not only did she miss the point of what a parasocial relationship is, but she also managed to offend and hurt a lot of people who's been through a traumatic experience along the way.
Way to go!
She's also doing something that would be one of the most likely factors to cause a parasocial relationship to happen. lol.
dont forget the fraud, people are quick to forget fraud is a criminal charge
You can say ‘parasocial’ as many tunes as you want, but I still had to look it up.
@@MsKeebeShe's definitely making the worse one too. She made the channel at 15 so random strangers online literally watched her grow up and now she's making a patreon that will only make more people have that gross attachment while knowing even more about their personal life. This idiot is trying to be the next chris chan💀
She gets it just fine, because she knows people who have a parasocial relationship with her will now think "this is wrong, I need to pay her to have a _real_ relationship with her".
"This whole stunt is an advertisement for my patreon" IS CRAZY.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy.

Faking a miscarriage is genuinely horrible. The amount of people who’ve had miscarriages and ended up never being able to let go or maybe even have trauma is so sad. Shame on this girl.
I feel so sad that all this backlash made her quit RUclips. I understand what all of you are saying but what she does is funny to some of us people.

She’s a creepy person. This is the worst Patreon ad ever. She’s basically saying we can have a parasocial relationship if you pay for it 🥰
my nan lost TWO babies when she was pregnant with my mother, 50+ years later and she still finds it incredibly difficult to talk about the two babies who couldve been and miscarriage in general. faking it is absolutely vile
My mother lost a baby before I was accidentally conceived. She still refers to the baby as my brother or sister in heaven. My parents decided on having only two children and if that baby survived, I would not be here because dad had himself tied off.
I've gone through 4 miscarriages. The last was a set of twins. It's devastating, heartbreaking, and, for me, extremely depressing. Women who fake miscarriages make my blood boil. It's not something to fake. It's a very painful experience, and I will never forget my 5 babies that I lost.
I'm so sorry for your loss. People like her are disgusting asf

I commented on the initial video and genuinely felt for her as someone who got pregnant at 20. I offered empathy as I understood how scared she must have been. The way I jumped out of my seat when I thought she miscarried.. and the anger I have felt ever since finding out it was all a lie. I’m so glad everyone is as disgusted by her as I am.

Wow. I HATE people like this !! I lost my son, and first child, Shiloh Daniel when I was 5 months pregnant ! Grieving a baby you never got to meet is very weird but so hard.. But no one prepares you for the VERY HIGH anxiety you have when you get pregnant again. Plus the PTSD you get from all the blood you lose during childbirth, because it reminds you of the time you lost your baby plus almost your own life. So joking about a miscarriage, is horrible. Not only does she NOT know how it feels but the aftermath. The dark thoughts you have of just wanting to be with that baby you lost, feeling those phantom kicks and flutters just wishing your baby was still there, and getting pregnant again after the loss, is just something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. This woman is DISGUSTING. Not worth the air she breathes..

Caroline: Some of you are weird.
Also Caroline:
When my mother was pregnant with me, she started having complications. The Dr said I had a great chance of not making it and miscarry. That was very traumatizing for her, but I made it. Someone taking a situation where parents lose their children before they are born, and trying to fake and get money off of it is sickening.

Frrr
Anyone who's ever gone through a miscarriage I want you to know that just because she faked it, doesnt mean I will believe anyone else would fake something this serious. You're all so valid, I'm so sorry to anyone who saw this honestly. Your pain isn't something someone should joke about.
"You're not real people to me" I think this is the crux of the issue with her 'experiment'. She also has absolutely zero idea about how internet works? Like, people saying something nice to her in the comments under her pregnancy annoucemnt or giving her encourgement isn't exactly parasocial. I think a good example, actually, can be comment section on youtube. A lot of times, when someone, shares that something bad happened, like idk they lost their spouse a lot of people in replies will be like "I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing alright". and they don't know that person, at all. they don't think they know that person.

Not only that, but said fans, when people critique her, now flock to this video upset that she’s being critiqued cause it’s “all a joke! “ “Satire” “dark humor” like.. whatever man
Gotta love gaslighting your audience into thinking they’re parasocial instead of just empathetic

I've had a miscarriage. It's a traumatic experience. It's extremely painful. The hormones are crazy. The body takes a while to go back to normal. I went through guilt and shame. It was like I had no control over my body. Luckily no D&C for me but I was so scared. It's a haunting experience. It's not something to fake. I think she should be held liable for the money.

Her saying that being a Narc is just a common personality trait that most people have tells me everything I need to know.

My sister has had multiple miscarriages. One just in November ish of last year while being cheated on. My sister was so excited, so happy, and literally gave up taking her antidepressants that manage her PTSD to have this baby. She was assured this time would be different. The same day she got confirmation from the doctor she was pregnant they also told her that her levels were extremely low and she was at risk for losing the baby. She did. She asked what causes this and they told her she has the same condition our grandma has. It causes early menopause and fertility issues. She had asked her doctor to test her for it when she first started seeing him. He told her that it was highly unlikely and she should be fine. Because of this she lost her baby because she could not get the treatment in time. I watched as my sister sold her baby’s crib, diapers, clothes, and shut her nursery door for the last time all while going through a divorce just weeks after losing this baby. My sister went through more than just a miscarriage. She was medically gaslit and then offered no support when she lost another child. She doesn’t get to hold her baby and I don’t get to hold my niece or nephew. We all lost that chance. For this girl to lie and joke about something that has torn apart and hurt so many families is beyond comprehension to me. She needs real mental health help and I hope she gets it.
I’m genuinely so sorry your sister had to go through that. I hope she’s doing better now I know the feelings associated can last years when things like that happen
August generally seemed pissed off and I don't blame em. No LOGICAL person thinks that this behavior is okay.
Wtf?? A s someone who recently was told by my doctors its physically not safe for me to have a baby (result of major heart issues) and am currently struggling A LOT with this new reality, this ENRAGES ME. This is beyond fucked up. Its so damn disrespectful to people who cant get pregnant or have suffered miscarriages. What an vile person
I think you should sue her
Faking cancer for money is another sick way to get money. Or the couple who claimed the baby died a few hours after being born. They were busted.
'We all have some narcissistic qualities'
The words some cheap online therapist told her, and this narcissist took that line and ran 100 miles with it as fast as she could.
I never knew anyone personally who had a miscarriage. My dad knew a friend in college who did, and she pretty much shut herself out of the world.
Last time anyone spoke to her, she dropped out and may have become homeless. I don't know how anyone can "fake" it for clout.

@@seakreder hey, now! we're over here having fun deriding people about whom we know nothing, you don't have to come in and ruin our piety!
it's from a skit from bestfriendstoday, but keep making wild assumptions
10:27 that’s the first time I’ve heard August talk so high
10:24
“HOOOOOLLY FUUUG!”
My favorite duck daddy moment
Duck Daddy. LOL. 😂
She's trying sooooo hard to act like she had a point, but she is saying a whole lot of nothing because she knows this was just a cheap publicity stunt
I honestly don’t mind or take offense to faking a miscarriage as a publicity stunt. Honestly if it was one huge April Fool’s joke I would actually find it kinda funny. But the fact she tried to say its a social experiment is so stupid. Like just say you want money and attention. It’s fucking RUclips. Don’t act like you’re the genius philosopher giving social commentary lmfao
@@chill3282i honestly don’t see how and/or why you would think this would be funny even if it was just a “big April Fools joke” 💀 but yeah, every youtuber does shit for views, likes, money and attention. That’s the whole purpose of youtube. idk why she couldn’t have just led with that
If tone deaf was a person...there was a way to go about this and make a good point and all of those completely went ove her head
Surely lying to gain money based on a falsehood would be considered Fraud?
If she never revealed the lie but said the donations would support her child, then yes it would be
She didn't though
Man,this is the most heated I’ve ever heard Augusttheduck
It’s not even a requirement for a relationship being parasocial that one person believes they know the other. The sole requirement is that it is onesided and the other party is a public figure. Example: there’s this podcast I listen to a lot. I like the presenters. They FEEL like friends. I am perfectly aware that they’re not, and that they don’t know me, and that they could be a*holes. Still, it is a parasocial relation. It’s very common and usually not problematic.
This is horrifying. A mother's pain is nothing to laugh or profit off of. She used the word "stunt."
I am one of these mothers who have lost a child. I'm disgusted
Do you think holocaust jokes are funny?
That is just awful to do, my mom had a miscarriage before me and she tells me all the time how horrible and how depressed she became after loosing the first kid. MISCARRIAGE IS NOT A JOKE! it affects real people and it like so many things is not funny to joke about or get money off of.
She’s made multiple videos with the RUclipsr Oompaville, and he was claiming she was his sister. Since this, all of the videos of them together have been deleted from his channel. Id really like him to talk about her as well, seeming, as they were close friends and are no longer.
Also I find it weird she was 19 and he was 26 and i do think that’s why he continued with the “they’re siblings” ruse.
When he said "Holy Fuck!!" I was in shock because I've never seen him react like that, i ligamently got scared for 2.5 seconds
😂😂😂😂😂 same
It is really funny about the way he said it tho.
I hate it why people would be this degenerate and desperate for internet clout.
My sister in law suffered two miscarriages. My heart broke seeing how sad and miserable she was. She also blamed herself. This is disgusting.
First of all, as a mom who has had past miscarriages this is just so infuriating. Not to mention how many women/men in this world who would give ANYTHING to have children, and some people deal with a lot of miscarriages and it can be really traumatic. And don’t even get me started with women in Gaza that tried for years to have a baby just to lose them getting lost under rubble. And this girl decided to fake this, pretend to be pregnant and miscarry that’s just so fucked up on so many levels
A miscarriage is one of the singular most devastating things my wife and I have gone through I don't understand why they would fake that
"HOOOOLY F*CK!!!" The sheer level of bewilderment in that remark caused me to roar with laughter! I don't think I've ever heard August express so much emotion before!
I’ve had a couple chemical pregnancies before the one I have now (almost 10 weeks woooo), this is soooooo insensitive and one of the worst things you can do as a woman. So many of us struggle with fertility & to do all this just for attention? What a sicko.
I am happy that there's normal people out there just having their own lives. It makes the world feel worth while when you get a brief glimpse into another person's experience.
I hope you all the best with this pregnancy and hope your child is happy and healthy.
Have a lovely life, matey.
@@AUDHDlucy thank you so much ❤️ I really appreciate it. I hope your life is going well!
My stepmom ACTUALLY had believe it or not, TEN MISCARRIAGES! And that whole experience was very traumatic for her and everyone around her (including me) and it also caused her and my dad to be emotionally abusive towards me, so someone making this a joke and faking this for attention is fucking despicable.
My friend and her mother have a genetic condition that has caused them to miscarriage that many times. Her mother 11 times. My friend 17 times before she was forced by her doctor to stop trying.
Maybe your step mom has the same kind of condition?
Maybe. She also tried a surrogate, but that didn’t work, so yeah.
Why would they emotionally abuse you and how? Thats pretty messed up lol
@PartyhatRS
They were devastated about the fact that they couldn’t have a child of their own, and they took it out on me. It was messed up, but they are better now.
This young woman is totally unhinged, but she thinks she knows more than most grounded, wise, persons -- it's all ragebait.
My mom lost twins when i was 6 and ive never seen her that heartbroken. This is terrible she must be stopped. Prayers to all the great moms that lost babies
my best friend is less than a month away from having her baby, and I was adopted at 10 days old due to my mom having 3 miscarriages and deciding that was her safest and most likely path to having a child.
I REALLY felt that strong HOLY FCKKK you gave
Not all sociopaths are intelligent.
This reminds me of the incident with Carmen and Corey years ago, and that absolutely just boils my blood that some sickening people use a traumatic happening like this for money. It’s VERY offensive to the women of the world who actually went through that, and, in turn, is traumatizing since, losing a life form…that’s devastating. I’m not a woman, but even I know it’s sad.
I love kids a lot, so miscarriages make my heart shatter, not to mention I also lost a brother due to my mother having a miscarriage. The fact she said it was a "joke" just made me hate her and I've never even seen her before, imagine the pain actual mothers who have lost their children due to miscarriage feel.
this made me think about how vile average people can be, I mean shes not a killer or abuser (I think) but her actions and her thought process is so disturbing and genuinely sickening.
What you reap is what you sow...her bringing this energy to her life will bite her down the line
This is so low to the next level, like there are literally millions of women who legit had miscarriages/couldn't have children and this is the type of "stunt" she chose to pull for her own self-interests? SMH absolutely disgusting
She's got a parasocial relationship with social media.
I used to watch her songs and literally forgot she existed. This is disgusting. Why on earth would you joke about pregnancy and then make a joke out of losing it? Tons of mothers sadly lose their babies. She lost a sub. And respect. Hate people like this.
Same!!
How long until this backfires and she pulls the Boogie defense: "Aww yeah you ever see Andy Kaufman fake a pregnancy? It's just an Andy Kaufman bit guys"
Only difference is that Andy Kaufman was actually ill and a comedy genius. This girl is just a C U next Tuesday.
When she started pretending to look around for the baby and making an absolute joke out of it I was so dumbfounded. This is so vile it actually hurts me and I can't imagine how much it would hurt parents who lost a baby to miscarriage
Im sick of people like this
Dude my mother was so lucky to have not lost her two only children. Like it's not uncommon to have miscarriages. They can literally destroy a mother to hell and back. It's traumatizing. People need to stop trying to act like they want something that most people don't want to have even if they tried to fake it once.
As someone who needed to give birth at 21 weeks pregnant, this is very insulting and making me angry. This is one of the worst things to joke about..
This is like the time Jaystation faked his girlfriend's [untimely passing] for views
