@@pistypondue1611 This may sound bad, but when Alex's friend Lewis was being dodgey with under aged girls. It was one of the best things that happened to that community. Because George Clarkey, whos the only one I really used to watch, and Arthur Hill, they called Lewis out and the two lived with Alex at the time who was still being his friend and i think theyve made a video or two after he tried to come back a few months after the drama then got slapped back under the floor boards with the cockroaches. But Alex moved out from living with George and Arthur and never seems to speak to them at all. And them two have seemingly grew as people and creators since. And the fandom deffinetly split, instead of Alex getting millions of views in group reactions, he just went full drama alert doing about 100 videos on lil tay, toxic gossip train lady and anything else to stay relivent. But he has seemed weird for so long. And im glad his "friends" seem better off without him And to still have been making vidoes with Kam Kirtkham!!! After he came out with his abuse story! Imagine hearing your friend tell their story of being abused then going home and abusing your partner!!
And yet it's Phil's fault that I know so much...stuff... Dammit, I never watched the news with any regularity before finding this channel, and I miss those days of just being like "Bah, the world's always crazy. What's the point of hearing about it when I still haven't gotten 100% completion in GTA V?"
Be prepared to see the Anti-vaxxers defend the pentagon,CIA & even FBI for this since its propogandizing their disproven anti vax agenda. Oh The Irony.

I always had a bad feeling about his whole group of friends and he was actually the one I disliked the least. Now, I think that bad feeling came from his toxicity or something like that abd how abusive people often try to appear more charismatic and stuff
as a domestic abuse survivor, ImAllex made my blood run cold. He embodies the exact same attitude that my abusers (my parents) did. The “i’m untouchable, you’re worthless” mentality, so confident in their blanket of superiority that nothing will come around, that they deliberately do & say the worst stuff to you because it gives them a sick rush. A sick rush in their mind that “won’t be found out” a way to keep their image “clean” to peers & unleash their monster behind closed doors. Of course when you do speak up, they go feral. My abusers quickly smeared my name in hopes to 180 the truth, pulling the “confused & sad” card when someone asked about my bruises or how they aren’t allowed near me now. I’m so proud of Alice. It only gets better from here girl. It’s gonna be painful but run. Run with all the might your legs can take dear. ImAllex, count your days. You sick evil creature.

Warning labels on cigarettes never detered me from smoking. My dad smashing dishes against a wall anytime he tried to quit and all his teeth falling out? Yeah, that did the trick.
I live in Australia where a pack of cigarettes costs 30-50 aud each which is a tax of about 95% . The warnings on the packs are the bare minimum the gov can do without disrupting this income to the government
Smoking worst than people think people just think it give you cancer and just because it slow it make people careless about it but in reality it worst than what it’s is like teeth falling out, aging faster than anyone around you, mess with your voice, brain, heart, etc …… also their stuff like lead plus it hard to quit once you start doing it and harder the more you do it and also vape is smilliar also it affect people around you making it not just a you problem even herion only affect the user not also their neighbor just near them
As a filipino-american, that reuters story was upsetting and disturbing as all hell to hear. we have so much family and many family friends that were affected by anti-vax nonsense and knowing that at least a portion of it came from the pentagon, while not surprising, I was still astounded by their complete disregard for southeast asian public well being

I just had a 13 yo male patient with toxic shock syndrome. He was in the hospital over 2 months and we're still doing wound care because he's got to be clear of infection and have healthy non necrotic tissue before we do skin grafts. The infection spread down to the bone and his wounds have bone, tendon, muscle and subcutaneous flesh clearly visible. He originally just had a respiratory infection and it just spiraled into multiple issues
Maybe a stupid question but this is coming from someone with no medical background who’s just curious about this and wanna learn. Was the decease originally spreading from an infected wound he had (or does it seem like a most likely cause if you don’t know)? If you can’t answer due to patient and work privacy that’s fine, like I said, I’m just curious. This stuff is scary but if we know more or at least have some clue of how it starts of it gets easier to keep us from getting for in the first place.
@@SkunkApe407yeah this was years ago but I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to find the drama in the search bar. Allegations were made against slazo by an ex, pretty bad ones, slazo took his time to reply but he did it like the Madcatser he bought the deets and all the receipts proving his own innocence and Alex refused to acknowledge he was wrong and actually doubled down on saying slazo was wrong even. So this is poetic justice - I think that’s what they call it
@@SkyeBerryJam RUclipsrs Imallexx, Kingani, Kwite, Dolan Dark and Weest all plotted to take down Slazo after his ex girlfriend Chey came out with r4pe allegations. Turns out the allegations were all false. Kwite and Dolan Dark were the only ones to apologise because they didn't know Slazo. It was also revealed that Allexx had lived with Slazo and they were friends, but none of them apologised after the allegations were proven false
As someone who luckily escaped an abusive relationship: thank you so much for covering this story. I hope that people keep this in mind the next time something comes out about someone and the response is "but he was always nice to me at work" or "but he seemed so nice on RUclips". Abusers almost always lure their victims in by pretending to be kind at first, and then slowly reveal their real, horrible selves only behind closed doors to a target the abuser has gradually broken down so much that the victim won't fight back or escape or even tell someone. I'm so glad this info was shared publicly because there are people like this in every community but because victims are so afraid to talk, it's easier for abusers to trick new victims. Also if anyone is experiencing abuse like this, please search support in your area. There are services that will give you transitional housing, go with you to police, etc. And if you can, please, please, please tell someone what's going on. Abusers will lock their victims in cyclones of self-doubt and shame to keep them trapped. Don't believe what your abuser says. Speak the truth and people WILL help you get out.
I'm so glad this awful human was stupid enough to record his abuse in video and text format to make the prosecutor's job really easy. Far too many abusers are self aware enough to know that what they're doing is wrong and go to the effort of hiding it.
@@Draggonny unfortunately in most countries it's difficult to prosecute verbal abuse disconnected from physical abuse and it sadly seems like there isn't hard evidence of the physical (tho I believe it). That's why it's up to the community to hold him accountable bc the chance of legal repercussions is probably slim (though there may be a solid case for stalking/harassment *post* breakup from what I've heard).
@@natatatm I guess that I'm lucky. Verbal abuse is a prosecutable offence in the UK as are verbal threats. It's unlikely to lead to jail time but more likely probation and a small fine or community service.
"Do you think social media should come with warning labels?" following on the heels of widespread social media influence misinformation campaigns kind of answers itself.
I got laughed at for saying section 230 protects platforms from liability from misinformation. On this channel. Multiple times. People who warn others out of concern for their wellbeing are never treated kindly for it.
Just don’t watch mainstream liberal media. Find a source that’s neutral and doesn’t persecute innocent people and create propaganda hit pieces to make people look like something they aren’t.
This doesn't shock me at all. After the false allegations ImAlexx pushed against Slazo, I pretty much knew he was a terrible person. The fact that Content Creators like Memeulous among others stood by him after that is insane. How spineless does one have to be for this new situation to not be the straw that broke the camel's back?
@@_DREBBEL_why is it everyone else's responsibility to explain to you who these people are instead of you just accepting that you haven't heard of these names before and just moving on?
People who say “why did you stay, why didn’t you just leave” have never been in abusive relationship. They threaten to kill you or ruin your life or threaten themselves. It’s so difficult to get out once you’re too deep. Good of her to try and stop this from continuing to happen.
I'm 100% sure being threatened to be hurt or actually being hurt should be more than enough reason to leave any bad situation what more do you need than that like after literally the first time not being a bad guy but everything else is kinda on you. LEAVE
@@KingChaddi Lmao no shit. When someone says they’re going to hurt you and hunt you down or go forward with attempting to ruin your life, it’s not simply “leave!” Boo hoo! It takes serious planning and support. Try leaving when you have no one to fall back with. It’s near impossible. Talk on something you’ve done before instead of belittling something you very clearly don’t understand.
Yes, exactly. People think it's a simple matter of choice. Not to mention that you have to flip your entire life upside down to get out. It's not easy. You can't just "go back home." If they're dangerous when you're with them, they'll be even more dangerous when you are at any number of locations they know of (i.e. your home, parent's home, friend's home) and they have the rage and anger conjured up by a sudden break-up and lack of control over you. That's why people can't just leave. When people need to escape these situations, it requires resources and people willing and able to help until the threat is dealt with.
@@KingChaddi I'm gonna bet you're a nasty piece of work in a relationship with that mindset. And when you've frightened your S/O, you tell them "just leave then." Knowing they won't, because they can't, because you know you can hurt them anywhere they go. It's not simple, it's never been simple. Any and every choice equates to the abuser becoming more enraged. Statistically, the most depraved actions taken by an abuser are done when they think or suspect their victim is trying to get away. They'll take/break a phone, slash tires, follow you, etc. Calling the cops keeps you safe until the cops leave - and then the REAL danger comes. Look at ANY number of the hundreds upon hundreds of DV turned homicide scenarios. The cops aren't magicians. I don't know how much more I can elaborate. It should be common sense. You're saying the equivalent of "If you're broke, just stop being broke. If you're homeless, buy a house. If you have cancer, get rid of it. If you're dying, just stay alive." You're not an idiot, so don't act like an idiot.
@ImNotHere222 there's nothing I said that should make your bothered enough to write an entire essay.

The thing with the Anti-Vax Psyop really hurts me, I lost my uncle due to a mixture between Covid and medical malpractise, this all happened in the Philippines. To me he was like an older brother rather than an uncle and with this news it makes me wonder if he would still be alive if this Psyop never happened. Would he still be alive to see his two sons grow up. This hurts me and makes me angry.
Hi Phil! I’m an epidemiologist who covers STSS for my district. This Japanese story is highly concerning. In my state, STSS is a notifiable disease, but we often receive the reports of the disease very late. We very rarely find the cause of the disease, but it is insane how fast these bacterias can attack your system. This story is concerning because we often don’t receive the reports until a month to a year after they happen (we are supposed to receive them within a week). Although very very unlikely, if this were to spread, public health response may be slow due to health care systems being slow to report.
Yeah it's pretty horrifying. Heard of TSS before in relation to tampons, it's why I don't use them; I didn't even know it could be viral. Dreadful. Those poor people.
@@GrimFelArtI am not a medical professional by any means so anyone who is more knowledgeable do correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that the toxic shock syndrome from incorrect use of tampons is different than the streptococcal toxic shock syndrome that’s taking over in Japan. The one in Japan is caused by a viral infection, and the tampon one is more individual and it can’t really be transmitted from person to person and it’s extremely rare even when tampons are misused (misused as in you are supposed to take out and change your tampon every 8 hours maximum). Of course if you don’t feel comfortable using tampons for any reason, it’s totally fine to not use them! I just don’t get the fear-mongering around TSS from tampons when hundreds of millions of women use tampons correctly without ever having any kind of issues. I also just don’t want to compare the two illnesses, because they don’t seem to correlate and it’s unnecessary to link them.
I’m a researcher who works on group A strep! I personally focus on its anti microbial resistance. I certainly need to read up on this more, but it’s strange this spike in invasive disease, particularly because it is treatable with antibiotics. Unsure how far this will spread, but certainly something to keep an eye on (plus it keeps me in a job lol)
I’m tired of people asking “why did you stay?” I think a better question to ask is why is the abuser acting that way? Why do they think it’s OK to treat someone like that? what in their mind makes them believe what they’re doing is correct?
@@KFC-crusader_12 You sounds like a 12 year old that doesn't understand the mental and emotional affects that happen when you're in an abusive relationship it's not as easy as "just leave" maybe to some but to MOST it's not. Grow up before you write some tone deaf trash like this.
She also has videos of him tearfully apologising to her in the google doc, promising to be better and SEEMING genuine. He was very manipulative. Which is so common with domestic abuse.
Caitlin Clark has repeatedly responded to these calls with “that’s part of the game” and a desire to move on. The fact that the media refuses to do so shouldn’t be put on Clark or anyone she plays with/against. Does the media go ballistic with calls like this in the NBA or are they just trying to keep attention on the WNBA by any means necessary?
I get where you're coming from, but as an NBA fan, yes the media does "go ballistic" with calls like this. When Dillon Brooks almost concussed a dude by performing the same action that Angel Reese did, the media went OFF on him and labeled him a villain. Draymond Green had a string of flagrant fouls this year that had the media reporting on him for months. Again, I see the point you're trying to make, but this isn't sexism, it's just right vs. wrong in the world of professional sports. Also, again as an NBA fan, it's important to understand that a lot of the league's marketing power comes from off-court happenings (or drama) precisely *_because_* it keeps eyes on them. The WNBA has never had eyes on its league, and now the media is actually reporting on them because there is general interest from the public. If they claim to want what the men have, then this type of coverage is part of the deal. And finally, Clark may have "moved on", but her opponents certainly haven't. Reese continuously tries to diminish her undeniable effect on the league. The women of the US Olympic team specifically voted to keep her off of the team. And WNBA greats have been throwing shade at her since before she even entered the league. I think the media has every right to report on the obvious vitriol that Clark is facing from her peers. There is a pattern of behavior here, and this foul was just another example of that. Sorry for the essay.
@@jimmyjams962 I don’t mind at all! And thank you for the examples! The last time I was immersed in the NBA was when Shaq and Kobe were playing for the Lakers, so I’ve been out of the loop for quite some time. I appreciate the essay! 👍
Everyone who asks "Why did you stay so long?" doesn't understand how abuse works and is judging survivors. It's so hard to get out and we beat ourselves up more than you could know about why we stayed. But in fact, it's usually because we didn't have the strength, the tools and the confidence to get out. The fact that we do is amazing. The better question is "how can I support you now?"
The Anti-Vax psyop reminds me of that one Wendigoon meme ""The Next Time That Somebody Tells You, “The Government Wouldn’t Do That,” Oh Yes They Would""
All that story tells me is that if the government is going willing to do this to countries that it views as a threat (and not actual threats), it can and will do the same to us civilians if it hasn’t already been happening and yet to be uncovered yet
It makes it all the more ironic that right-wingers were anti-vax and anti-mask (actually still anti-mask because you have a state outright banning them in public unless it's for religious reasons) because they believed this was a govt led hoax and it turns out they were actually facilitating a military freaking psyop! I mean it'd be funny if it weren't for all the dead bodies and the compromised health of people in a country with no guarantee of necessary healthcare.
The basketball story reminds me a lot of Serena Williams in tennis. I hope people don’t forget how often she was compared to apes because of her size and anytime she had a temper issue, she was front and center of the news and insulted relentlessly for it despite the white, male tennis players who had fits and broke their rackets barely getting any coverage at all.
People say why did you stay but hear him telling her that she needs him and if she leaves she has nothing Its manipulation and mind games you only know how powerful those words are when youve had it happen to you I hope alice can heal ❤
I’ve been a WNBA fan for years- what this feels like is that they’ve captured lightning in a bottle with Caitlin Clark’s popularity and media outlets are trying to stir up controversy to try and continue the WNBA’s popularity, although it clearly causes more harm than good
@@KeatrithAmakiir Or maybe jealous bitches who aren't as talented need to play the game correctly and leave her the fuck alone. This won't stop until they do.
While I do think the media is trying to blow everything out of proportion, it does seem to me like Clark is getting targeting for more cheap shots than just “rookie hazing” as some have put it. She’s in an extremely stressful situation. All eyes on her claiming she’s the best, and then bringing her down if they don’t win. She is on a team that’s not great to begin with. She shouldn’t be expected to be the one winning the game by herself every night. I’m not trying to discredit other players, but the worst teams pick first in the WNBA draft. The part that has bothered me the most about the whole situation is how little her teammates seem to be sticking up for her. She gets knocked to the floor with a cheap shot (such as the Chennedy Carter foul) and they sort of casually walk over and kind of help her up. If that happened on any other team, or in pretty much any other sport, men’s or women’s, their teammates would be rushing over and in the face of the one who knocked her down. Clark is keeping her head down and trying not to draw too much attention. The people beating on her are blaming refs and calling favoritism. The Reese hit was a foul. Whether it was on purpose or not, there can be no argument that it was a foul, yet Reese implied Clark got special treatment to get the call in the first place. Some of the players, whether they admit it or not, are resenting Clark. They are jealous of the attention on her and they are taking it out on a woman who seems to just be trying to play a game and take the high road.
I’ve just been screaming for more eyes on the game... I follow a ton social media accounts that give me highlights of what A’ja Wilson is doing as well as how the Sun are playing... That’s what I’ve wanted, and I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one.
I got one thing to say about that PsyOps story: UGHH! Like, I'm not surprised. I'm not even angry. Just ... disappointed. Not even in America. Just ... in general. Why do we have to do this to each other? Where's the line drawn? And when?
I'm glad she got out of that relationship. One of the things that it's hard to understand about abusive relationships from the outside is that you can't drag people out of them. They have to be ready to leave the relationship before you can do anything to be helpful. And that sucks and I'm glad that she finally got there
Stg I think there's a non zero chance one of these government intel groups from a leading world power kills us all by doing something unethical that only serves to benefit their bottom line short term, then they'll shocked pikachu face when the preventable disaster f*cks the world because of their own actions.
@@D_YellowMadness Exactly, people will hear this story and that there's no recession, and in the same breath say the government is "generally trustworthy." It's double think through and through.
There is no such thing as a perfect victim. Victims of domestic abuse and violence can and do often fight back. That doesn't mean they're not being abused
There is a term for this called “reactionary abuse” I.e you as the victim engage in abusive behavior in retaliation/in response to abuse you are receiving You are STILL the victim of the abuse you are experiencing. My lashing out at my abuser was taken and used for years against me to ruin any support or friends I had gained. Essentially isolating me even though my abuser claimed he did not want me in his life, he continued to pursue those around me. It’s real- there is no such thing as a perfect victim- and victims of abuse will lash out
@@PreeminentLexa I am in a much better place now with people who support me! Thank you! I only mention it here as this is a very common phenomena for individuals who experience abuse I hope she gets the justice she deserves from this Alex dude
STSS is also on the rise in Canada. My aunt is an ER doctor and has already dealt with some really heartbreaking cases. It moves so, so fast, and although it's more deadly for vulnerable populations, it can absolutely kill young, healthy people in a matter of days. We don't need to panic, but we do absolutely need to take every possible precaution here and take it seriously. Please, wash your hands, clean and care for any wounds you have diligently, and wear a mask if you are at all able to.
As someone susceptible to strep, I used to get it almost once a year, this scares me. I haven't had strep in about 5+ years now, but if cases suddenly spiked I fear I'd be especially at risk. I'm 34 so I'm not within the age bracket of higher risk, but working in retail means I'll have a high chance of being exposed. Hopefully we can get this surge under wraps soon.
My mother-in-law knows a man who was around 40. Walked to the hospital last summer and died in 2hrs of STSS. He put off going to the hospital right away because he needed to work his full Friday shift so he'd get paid the full stat on the Monday. What a dystopia we live in that this poor man died because he thought work was more important than his own health.

Can we please just stop asking victims of abuse why they don’t “just leave”. I’ve been in a toxic relationship and the whole issue is so complicated. They abuser is not vile 80% of the time in my experience. Though it can get to that point over time, it is a bit like a frog in a pot of heating water. You get attached, you get love-bombed, and it seems normal. My ex also threatened to un-al*ve themselves when I left, and thats not out of the norm for such ppl. Plus there are often social/friendship, consequences as well, and Alice likely feared retaliation online
It doesn't help that the victims are often those with low self-esteem or limited relationship experience (either by the abuser's direct influence or otherwise) which may add to a lack of peer/parental support and outside help to actually leave.
@@KingChaddi Considering Alex in this case has been violent and also threatened to kill her multiple times and that 41% of women who are killed by a partner had separated or taken steps to separate from them, it would be reasonable for Alice to fear that happening to her. As well as her self esteem/worth being shat on by him which probably made her think she needed him. Unfortunately, that's what manipulators do. Or they could threaten you with revenge porn if you leave which is very common among abusive relationships. Unless you've been in a relationship like this, you can't understand it. They condition you to hate yourself and believe that their behaviour towards you is justified.
I don’t think those labels do anything. It just lets lawmakers pat themselves on the back and say they did something. I really doubt labels have done much to change behavior when everyone I know either ignores them or makes fun of them.
As someone with a period I'm always terrified of getting TSS when using tampons. I know it's rare but I feel like a lot of us were scared out of using them by our mum/aunties/friends etc who didn't quite understand how it worked.
I hate when people ask abused victims why they stayed, it’s not that simple and it doesn’t matter. Nobody deserves to be abused and they certainly don’t deserve to be judged cause they went thru hell. I’m glad she’s out of there 😢

@@WellISaidIt You can hate something without hating, or being angry with, the person doing it. There are plenty of awful things people do on accident, or without knowing how harmful it is.
@@dahat1992 I am going on what I was reading. You asked for an explanation, I gave you one. How harmful is it to ask why you would want to live with your abuser? I asked my sister exactly that question when her then boyfriend used to get drunk and beat her. She answered, I understood and then I helped her understand that nothing will change. If you don't ask, you will never learn. I still stand by my comment. Rather than 'hating" on someone who is asking a question why not answer it and educate them. If you are hating that question then maybe the problem is you, not them. Ask yourself why are you exactly hating someone who asks you that question. Is it because they are making you feel uncomfortable by making you face facts. Now should I hate you for questioning me about my feelings and interpretation of the original comment.
Fame really makes narcissists show their true colors. They think since they have somewhat of a following that they can act whatever way they please. Disgusting
For the Angel foul, Caitlin’s right, It’s a basketball play. And it was called correctly on the court because it was above the shoulders- automatic flagrant. The issue with the foul on Chennedy is that it was not a basketball play that was incorrectly called on the court. They’re two completely different situations. The media is being purposefully ignorant to how the sport even works and it’s frustrating.
The fact that NO ONE was this riled up for Angel Reese when she was literally slammed by the neck. These fans are just riding on Clark’s coat tail and putting so much unnecessary weightt on her and she is still a rookie herself. She knows what’s up and a lot of these men….yes MEN are trying to appear as a white knight. She knows how the game works, and honestly if i were her i would be insulted.
"The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one." I remember a time when tobacco companies tried pushing the narrative that smoking was good for you. Today you probably won't find many (if any) parents who would support that notion. How many parents do you think are out there who do not take the harm social media can do seriously. Having a warning label could help to, at minimum, start changing the attitudes.
Comparing how games cause children to become violent to warning about social media are two completely different things as one is saying a false claim (with no real evidence) whilst the other is warning danger of falling under social media dangerous addiction which have some know fact to it even in adults.
Her reactive insults and the slapping is super normal for abusive victims. It is a phenomenon called "reactive abuse" and it is the source of most of the myths about patners who abuse eachother. In reality, there are vanishingly few relationships that can maintain equal, mutal abuse. In almost every case one of the partners is the primary abuser, and the other is a reactive victim. Abusers will use reactive abuse on the part of the victim partner to futher manipulate them and to attempt to get them to bury the story, just like he did here. Worse, they will gaslight (for real) the victim into thinking that they are the really abusive person, and that the abuser is actually a chill person who is just going crazy trying to deal with the victim. Hallmarks of that are constant belittlement and cruelty, while always placing the blame on the actual victim, which is what looks to be exactly what happened here.
That makes me feel so much better about parts of my life... holy that is a load of my chest. I had a dr who I saw once every few months say that I was abusive to my abuse too.... when is rarely talked about her to my psychiatrist I only talked to about meds. She's not my therapist. She wasn't there. Dropped her fast. No one should validate or take the side of abusers
@@StuckUnderTheCovers Yeah, unfortunately a lot of doctors are really bad. I am sorry they said that to you. There is literally no excuse for that on their part. They literally were indirectly supporting the abuse you faced.
It feels like no knows about reactive abuse and how it plays into how outsiders view abusive relationships, or they don’t care they just see that the one who’s been abused finally struck back and it’s “well they do it to each other” Also it’s been proven that the most dangerous time for an abused person is when they’re leaving their abuser because they will often escalate and frequently ends in death.
Reactive abuse - I don't really like the term very much and wish there was a different one. It sounds as if the victim was just as bad when it's a form or self defense. It's as if we'd call self defense reactive murder (or reactive assault or whatever the defense mechanism was).
I'm reading a book right now about US military psy-ops which just came out yesterday - Stories Are Weapons by Annalee Newitz. Goes really deep into the source of many of these missions and even the origin of psychological warfare tracing back to Freud and his nephew (!) who was the inventor of PR and emotionally manipulative ad campaigns in the 1920s. As much as knowing stuff sucks, it's ultimately good to become aware of these things.
Do you think any of us have our own take, or did the content creators all start at the same sources, create the same take, and repeat it back to us in a way that feels like we're finding out with family? If you're someone who has time to digest multiple tea channels you'll find they all use the same data to come to the same conclusions, yet none of them are journalists. They feel like the tabloids. I mean that kindly. It's fine until they get it wrong. And they have before. Often.
I'm glad Alice has spoken up about ImAlexx. And the part about "why didnt you leave" is so hard. Honestly someone like that beats you down emotionally and/or physically, they essentially brainwash you into thinking that you dont deserve better. But you do. If you're reading this and you are at all thinking of leaving a partner that is hurting you- man, woman, nonbinary, etc- if your partner is physically or emotionally hurting you- you deserve better. Leaving was so hard for me, but July 6th will be the second anniversary of me leaving. Of me choosing my own happiness and safety. My life has gotten so much better. Yours will too. Stay safe of course, but there are people out there that can help you. There are ways to discreetly contact a domestic violence organization. Many of their websites have a fast click away link to bring you somewhere random if needed. You deserve better. ❤
We are assuming she is 100% the victim given HER evidence. For all we know she could have been pistol whipping him daily. Assumptions make an ass out of you it seems
@@ctg4818 there isn't proof of him being physically abusive but the language he uses is definitely both emotionally and mentally abusive. idk if Phil got into the nitty gritty enough but I recommend looking at the stuff in the google drive. apparently the poor girl was suffering from depression during all this too.
I’m so glad she finally got away from Alex, that seems like a situation where it would only escalate. He seems very dangerous. I feel awful for her. I hope the future is better and she can move on from this pain.
Seems to me that she was outing herself as a way of getting ahead of whatever his defense is going to be, because I'm sure he'd point out that she's said things that were just as bad if not worse.
@@zehxiy Frankly I think she should be more worried about her life. Crazy exes and revenge murder and all that. She should file for a restraining order if possible and maybe buy a gun and some lessons.
@NikkiBudders we don't have a gun culture like the US we have excellent gun control here. But she can get a restraining order and police are pretty good in some cases dealing with abusive exes
Why would the first story make you need a support monkey? Sure, it's bad, but not bad in a way that actually affects you. Or are you just a copypaste bot?
Hit us with the monkey! ...No, literally, wallop me in the face with that lavender-scented primate until the blunt force trauma makes me forget all the awful stuff I know! :D
People who ask "why did you stay" should just stop. FKA Twigs said it better years ago: "I’m not going to answer that question anymore because the question should really be to the abuser, ‘Why are you holding someone hostage?’”
I'm immunocompromised, asthmatic and finally, finally scrounged up enough money to spend two weeks in a countey Ive wanted to visit for decades. Really feeling like the universe has it out for me right now orz
The problem with labeling social media is that it's not a physical product, so warnings like those on cigarette packs would just get buried in the terms and conditions, making them ineffective.
Unless it had to be clearly labeled in the app store or the first thing you see going to a website before logging ing/making a new account. That might make it more effective. Especially if it was in high contract colors.
I think if they made it something a little more assertive/invasive like a pop-up when you open the app for the first time that day, it might actually be effective. It would definitely piss people off though
Plus, socials aren't the issue. The issues are bad/no parenting, and have you seen the state of the world? Any sane person is going to be distressed by that!
@@wmdkitty I definitely think the socials themselves are an issue to a point. A lot of their algorithms are for profit and pretty much function to drive engagement over keeping the platform functional, safe, or even enjoyable for its users, and that's something that's been affecting a lot of websites recently.
I was so frustrated during the pandemic bc the Sinovac vaccine was released but people delayed getting it, so many people were spreading fear from saying that it will give you covid to turning you into a zombie. It also the most widely available vaccine so later on it suddenly became a status symbol if you got the American vax instead of the Chinese one.
As someone who survived STSS this is so scary... I know when I got it I was in high school during spring break it was awful. I remember only bits and pieces of it but I know in the beginning it started with a tickle and then by the middle of the night I was throwing up. From vomiting we had to go home early, I was admitted into the hospital I think almost 72 hours later and I was in and out of consciousness. I was placed in a private room after some treatment started, but I distinctly remember having been woken up very harshly with a light shining in my eyes and they were asking me questions. I'm going to assume I almost died based on what other medical professionals have told me. The medication I was on was intense, all of them upset my stomach. I was in the hospital for about a week, and I wasn't really able to eat solid foods or anything for a while. What I'm trying to say is PLEASE take this seriously, take care of yourself and if you think something is wrong, go with the assumption that something is actually wrong. Some other symptoms can include turning colors. My skin was turning purple and red in some areas, if you placed pressure on some body parts it would be white. Even though it's not as common please take action sooner rather than later. After I contracted STSS I was prone to strep throat for 5 years, I had fluid in my lungs because when they treat you for STSS they need to flush you, I think I had 6-7 bags of saline the time I was there. Not saying this to scare anyone but man my alarm bells went off as soon as Phil reported on this, take care, be well and stay hydrated you beautiful bastards!
I remember the Canadian assassination thing happening and just feeling so engaged and confused. Because we have a situation, where another government, has assassinated someone on our soil. That is a big deal. An extremely massive deal. Yet we were hounded by the international community and told that we were lying. It's insane. And then when the Americans came out saying "hey, this just happened to us too", then the world started to take us seriously, like, wtf? And you still have a lot of people who blindly support the Indian government, regardless of their wrongs and it's just mind boggling. You can still love your country and not support clear wrongdoing.
Well what was happening in Canada was because Justin Trudeau is unpopular particularly conservatives decided to support the claim that he was lying and India was telling the truth. That’s the problem with polarized politics we now trust foreign governments more than our own. Regarding the assassination of the Canadian, majority of Indian politicians and I would even say majority of people agree with it to an extent however majority of Sikhs don’t agree with it. In India asking for a separate nation state or trying to hold a referendum for one will land a hefty prison sentence. They don’t believe in the right to self determination. For them a separatist is on the same level as Osama bin Laden.
Hello welcome to the real world, India is a very reactionary Hindu supremacist country with billions of Indians who will support their government no matter what, it wasn’t always like that and this trend came with modi but it was always there, kind of like trump with the US but more extreme because the soci-economic conditions in India are much worse.
Friendly reminder that Hardeep Singh Nijjar is an Indian citizen, born in India to Indian parents, raised in India, who smuggled himself to Canada as an adult on fraudulent documents (including a fake marriage) but got a second passport anyways because Canada hands them out like cereal box prizes. He then went right back to his life's work of trying to get independence for his home province of Khalistan, including participating/facilitating multiple targeted killings and bombings in India, using his Canadian citizenship as a shield. Now, I'm not going to get into the pros and cons of the Khalistani cause because one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, but let's not pretend that any western country would have put up with this bullshit for a hot minute. As an American, if I had killed a bunch of people for January 7 OR some ACAB CHOP movement, and then tried to run off to Canada on a fake marriage citizenship visa, do you think the USA would stand for that? Heck, do you think they'd have to? Canada would black bag my ass and drop me off at a USA border office with a "sorry" note. Somehow you kill a dozen people for a terrorist/freedomfighter cause in the brown countries and then you can run back to hide behind mommy Canada's skirts and it doesn't count? Nah. Canada wants to go there, they can start by paying compensation to everyone he and his organization killed, and then we'll talk.
Legit. In my abusive marriage I had nowhere else to go and all he had to do was a small thing and it would melt my heart and I would forgive him until it wasn't enough. And I would get so frustrated with him that I would dish back some of what he gave me just to get him to feel a FRACTION of what he gave ne in a hope he would recognize his error.. but men like this never will. I even emotionally cheated and technically slept with someone else a couple weeks after I called it off with him because I was tired of him cheating on me, blaming me, and ignoring me and his children.

I used to watch ImAlexx until this situation. The worst part is that he always put across an image of being a decent guy, and commenting against various internet creators that people have deemed bad people, but it turns out that he was just as bad if not worse than those he was criticising.
I used to watch him too but stopped maybe a year or so ago because so much of his content is so negative and sometimes feels a little _too_ persistent. You're right though, it's quite jarring to reconcile his seemingly genuine "nice guy" persona with the awful abuse coming out of his mouth in these clips. Always seems to be first-wave commentary RUclipsrs getting outed as nasty pieces of work. Suppose it makes sense, it takes a particular mentality to spend all of your energy criticising other people for content, whether these others deserve it or not. Makes me grateful for the second-wave commentary community, so much more positive and humour-focused.
I didn’t know of him but your description sounds like typical abusers to me, projecting a lot onto others their very own disgusting behavior. A lot of abusers will camouflage themselves in overly kind acts publicly just to be completely rotten in private, it’s a very common tactic.
I've never seen this guy, but when I was in my 20s, I started watching some onion dbag dude. This young guy seems similar. No need to honor them with names. That content sucked me in at first. He put himself out there as a defender of women with videos shaming bad men who treated women poorly, but he, too, was self projecting.
I knew him only becos of what he did to Slazo, I always wondered how people even liked this dude he has always had this grimy attitude & he showed that when he doubled down on false accusations that ruined Slazo’s reputation so feels great seeing an ugly person inside & out get what’s coming to them
Phil, you should talk about the Panera data leak. I am a former employee that hasn’t worked there since 2021 and after a ransomware attack in March my social security number and other personal information was stolen along with god knows how many other employees’ information. The Panera PR teams continue to downplay the severity of the data breach and they won’t even tell us what exact personal information the hackers accessed beyond our SSN and names/addresses. The only form of “compensation” they have offered is 1 year of credit and identity monitoring, which does nothing to fix the problem. They didn’t even tell us that there was a data breach until this week, and that means that these people have had access to our information for 3 months and we’ve been clueless.
Video games have warning labels, that’s what the rating is, it warns you “hey this game is fucked up, your kid shouldn’t play”, social media apps should also have some warning along the lines of “this shit is fake”
@@Americanbadashh in Australia games must have a rating if sold physically, online games that aren’t mature don’t need a rating anything MA up does, you can self classify using authorised tools though instead of the ACB classifying for you, the UK is similar iirc
@@FastSloth87 that’s not the point lol, it’s an advisory mark, it’s so parents know that kids shouldn’t play the game, it’s suitable for people over 18 or whatever, it is still on the guardian to watch what the kid does.

Wasn’t ImAlexx in the group that tried to ruin Slazo years ago, and never properly apologized for his role in that mess? Good to see that slimeball finally getting outed for being a horrible person. That whole friend group is doomed. KingAni, Weest, and Alexx tried to ruin someone’s career and I’m just waiting for the others to get exposed too.
You want to know how sad the world is right now, there was another mass shooting yesterday in Rochester Hills, Michigan at a splash pad ment for kids to enjoy their summer. 9 people were hit, including kids, yet this has become so common that it barely even makes the news anymore.
This just proves that some people don't deserve to have a platform. It also proves that people that have always been terrible get amplified when they get fame and clout.
Yes, innocent until proven guilty. However, the fact that Alice went to the police before going to social media gives her more credibility, at least in my eyes.
my brother in christ there is audio, video, EIGHTY TWO PAGES of blatant proof. Stfu with that "iNnOcEnT uNtIl PrOvEn GuIlTy" shit. What, do you think it could all be AI?? And how does going to the police first provide more credibility? Most of the time the police don't do shit these cases unless the girl is nearly or actually dead. Bro is a piece of shit & should be thrown behind bars, no more social media access plain & simple. If that's not immediately clear to you then you need to heavy reevaluate yourself.
"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean anything when you have so much evidence to prove someone is guilty. There is clear evidence of Alex threatening to harm and even kill her. That alone proves he's guilty. Why do you think everyone turned on Diddy? Because we have clear surveillance footage of him beating the shit out of his ex. So many people were defending him until that footage came out. "Innocent until proven guilty" only applies when we don't have a lot of evidence to go off of, and it's one person's words against the others. But when we can see the abuse happening with our own eyes, then the phrase "Innocent until proven guilty" is meaninglessness.

More credibility than… what? It’s still a 50-50 situation where you’ve only heard from one party involved. I’m inclined to think that this “imalexx” may be in the wrong, but the adage of “guilty until proven innocent” is built off the backs of countless wrongful convictions/ accusations, and you simply cannot ignore that fact. Do we have to go over the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard saga again?!
I Live in Japan. I was infected with STSS. It infected my tonsils causing tonsillitis that spread. It was miserable. I was in the hospital for three days, which should have been a week. I left the hospital on my own accord because the doctor was unwilling to answer any of my questions about my infection and treatment. He was using me as a learning test subject. Doing all kinds of tests that didn’t have any explainable reason. Unnecessary CT scans and blood tests. Only now am I learning the truth about my infection and I feel like a lab rat. This was in early 2023.
The reason being is it's a national security threat, talks are going around that SSTS might be weaponized by a country who really, really doesn't like Japan you can guess who... Those tests weren't unnecessary, it's in Japan's best interests to know everything they can about STSS incase a "random" outbreak happens.

The story on India was wild ! I'm from New Zealand and this week and insane report came out on China running similar intelligence and informal "police stations" aimed at Chinese New Zealanders, especially those with different political options
Actually those Sikhs leaders he's talking about are actually terrorises. The man who attempted to be assassinated 'Gurpatwan Singh pannu' made threats to bomb the India-canada flight & he was making those videos standing in front of white House in the USA! They also attack Indian embassies & openly celebrate the former Indian prime minister's assanation. Even their organisation is declared terrorists by Canada's own government
For the Caitlin Clark story, this is nothing new. There is a reason fights are always broadcasted or big hits are always talked about like this. Ratings and money. When the next thing happens, this will die down, just like it has every other time. Maybe show up in an ESPN biggest hits or fouls of all time a few years from now.

@@pistypondue1611 This may sound bad, but when Alex's friend Lewis was being dodgey with under aged girls. It was one of the best things that happened to that community. Because George Clarkey, whos the only one I really used to watch, and Arthur Hill, they called Lewis out and the two lived with Alex at the time who was still being his friend and i think theyve made a video or two after he tried to come back a few months after the drama then got slapped back under the floor boards with the cockroaches.
But Alex moved out from living with George and Arthur and never seems to speak to them at all. And them two have seemingly grew as people and creators since. And the fandom deffinetly split, instead of Alex getting millions of views in group reactions, he just went full drama alert doing about 100 videos on lil tay, toxic gossip train lady and anything else to stay relivent. But he has seemed weird for so long.

ImAlexx is 100% my “finally, I have a reason to justify my previously vibes-based dislike of a person”
I always had a bad feeling about his whole group of friends and he was actually the one I disliked the least. Now, I think that bad feeling came from his toxicity or something like that abd how abusive people often try to appear more charismatic and stuff
Isn't that just the best? :)
Bruh same
Him falsely accusing someone of being a pedo and running them off the internet for clout and then refusing to apologise didn't do it for you?
That’s slightly concerning. I guess everyone should come to a conclusion first and wait for supporting evidence to fill the holes later.
as a domestic abuse survivor, ImAllex made my blood run cold. He embodies the exact same attitude that my abusers (my parents) did. The “i’m untouchable, you’re worthless” mentality, so confident in their blanket of superiority that nothing will come around, that they deliberately do & say the worst stuff to you because it gives them a sick rush. A sick rush in their mind that “won’t be found out” a way to keep their image “clean” to peers & unleash their monster behind closed doors. Of course when you do speak up, they go feral. My abusers quickly smeared my name in hopes to 180 the truth, pulling the “confused & sad” card when someone asked about my bruises or how they aren’t allowed near me now. I’m so proud of Alice. It only gets better from here girl. It’s gonna be painful but run. Run with all the might your legs can take dear. ImAllex, count your days. You sick evil creature.

I just had a 13 yo male patient with toxic shock syndrome. He was in the hospital over 2 months and we're still doing wound care because he's got to be clear of infection and have healthy non necrotic tissue before we do skin grafts. The infection spread down to the bone and his wounds have bone, tendon, muscle and subcutaneous flesh clearly visible. He originally just had a respiratory infection and it just spiraled into multiple issues
Maybe a stupid question but this is coming from someone with no medical background who’s just curious about this and wanna learn. Was the decease originally spreading from an infected wound he had (or does it seem like a most likely cause if you don’t know)? If you can’t answer due to patient and work privacy that’s fine, like I said, I’m just curious. This stuff is scary but if we know more or at least have some clue of how it starts of it gets easier to keep us from getting for in the first place.

@@LouisTheBlackCat dafuq?!?! How do people come up with this kind of crap, about people who seem so chill?
As someone who luckily escaped an abusive relationship: thank you so much for covering this story. I hope that people keep this in mind the next time something comes out about someone and the response is "but he was always nice to me at work" or "but he seemed so nice on RUclips". Abusers almost always lure their victims in by pretending to be kind at first, and then slowly reveal their real, horrible selves only behind closed doors to a target the abuser has gradually broken down so much that the victim won't fight back or escape or even tell someone. I'm so glad this info was shared publicly because there are people like this in every community but because victims are so afraid to talk, it's easier for abusers to trick new victims. Also if anyone is experiencing abuse like this, please search support in your area. There are services that will give you transitional housing, go with you to police, etc. And if you can, please, please, please tell someone what's going on. Abusers will lock their victims in cyclones of self-doubt and shame to keep them trapped. Don't believe what your abuser says. Speak the truth and people WILL help you get out.
I'm so glad this awful human was stupid enough to record his abuse in video and text format to make the prosecutor's job really easy. Far too many abusers are self aware enough to know that what they're doing is wrong and go to the effort of hiding it.
@@Draggonny unfortunately in most countries it's difficult to prosecute verbal abuse disconnected from physical abuse and it sadly seems like there isn't hard evidence of the physical (tho I believe it). That's why it's up to the community to hold him accountable bc the chance of legal repercussions is probably slim (though there may be a solid case for stalking/harassment *post* breakup from what I've heard).
@@natatatm I guess that I'm lucky. Verbal abuse is a prosecutable offence in the UK as are verbal threats. It's unlikely to lead to jail time but more likely probation and a small fine or community service.

This doesn't shock me at all. After the false allegations ImAlexx pushed against Slazo, I pretty much knew he was a terrible person. The fact that Content Creators like Memeulous among others stood by him after that is insane. How spineless does one have to be for this new situation to not be the straw that broke the camel's back?

Thanks for covering the pentagon anti-vax story. This is a really important story that needs to get more attention.
People who say “why did you stay, why didn’t you just leave” have never been in abusive relationship. They threaten to kill you or ruin your life or threaten themselves. It’s so difficult to get out once you’re too deep. Good of her to try and stop this from continuing to happen.
I'm 100% sure being threatened to be hurt or actually being hurt should be more than enough reason to leave any bad situation what more do you need than that like after literally the first time not being a bad guy but everything else is kinda on you. LEAVE
@@KingChaddi Lmao no shit. When someone says they’re going to hurt you and hunt you down or go forward with attempting to ruin your life, it’s not simply “leave!” Boo hoo! It takes serious planning and support. Try leaving when you have no one to fall back with. It’s near impossible. Talk on something you’ve done before instead of belittling something you very clearly don’t understand.
Yes, exactly. People think it's a simple matter of choice. Not to mention that you have to flip your entire life upside down to get out. It's not easy. You can't just "go back home." If they're dangerous when you're with them, they'll be even more dangerous when you are at any number of locations they know of (i.e. your home, parent's home, friend's home) and they have the rage and anger conjured up by a sudden break-up and lack of control over you. That's why people can't just leave. When people need to escape these situations, it requires resources and people willing and able to help until the threat is dealt with.
@@KingChaddi I'm gonna bet you're a nasty piece of work in a relationship with that mindset. And when you've frightened your S/O, you tell them "just leave then." Knowing they won't, because they can't, because you know you can hurt them anywhere they go. It's not simple, it's never been simple. Any and every choice equates to the abuser becoming more enraged. Statistically, the most depraved actions taken by an abuser are done when they think or suspect their victim is trying to get away. They'll take/break a phone, slash tires, follow you, etc. Calling the cops keeps you safe until the cops leave - and then the REAL danger comes. Look at ANY number of the hundreds upon hundreds of DV turned homicide scenarios. The cops aren't magicians. I don't know how much more I can elaborate. It should be common sense. You're saying the equivalent of "If you're broke, just stop being broke. If you're homeless, buy a house. If you have cancer, get rid of it. If you're dying, just stay alive." You're not an idiot, so don't act like an idiot.
@ImNotHere222 there's nothing I said that should make your bothered enough to write an entire essay. You know the funny thing is people like you who pretend to be the white knight are usually the ones with the nastiest skeletons in their closet. My record is clean no woman has ever felt unsafe in my presence. Can you say the same
"I just wanna listen to audio books, go on walks, and be ignorant of the world." Same Phil. Same. Truer words never spoken
Baffling that people have the nerve to talk to other people like that. Especially in text and in recorded voice calls.
The thing with the Anti-Vax Psyop really hurts me, I lost my uncle due to a mixture between Covid and medical malpractise, this all happened in the Philippines. To me he was like an older brother rather than an uncle and with this news it makes me wonder if he would still be alive if this Psyop never happened. Would he still be alive to see his two sons grow up.
This hurts me and makes me angry.
I'm so sorry that happened to you:,(
I’m sorry you lost your uncle. That’s really awful
Yeah, this is... well, vile and utterly disgusting falls some ways short, doesn't it?
I'm so sorry.
Once again the US has blood on its hands. And for what?
It's beyond disturbing.

The pentagon running an antivax campaign is somehow shocking but also completely unsurprising. Now look where that has gotten the world…
Hi Phil! I’m an epidemiologist who covers STSS for my district. This Japanese story is highly concerning. In my state, STSS is a notifiable disease, but we often receive the reports of the disease very late. We very rarely find the cause of the disease, but it is insane how fast these bacterias can attack your system. This story is concerning because we often don’t receive the reports until a month to a year after they happen (we are supposed to receive them within a week). Although very very unlikely, if this were to spread, public health response may be slow due to health care systems being slow to report.
Yeah it's pretty horrifying. Heard of TSS before in relation to tampons, it's why I don't use them; I didn't even know it could be viral. Dreadful. Those poor people.
@@GrimFelArtI am not a medical professional by any means so anyone who is more knowledgeable do correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that the toxic shock syndrome from incorrect use of tampons is different than the streptococcal toxic shock syndrome that’s taking over in Japan.
The one in Japan is caused by a viral infection, and the tampon one is more individual and it can’t really be transmitted from person to person and it’s extremely rare even when tampons are misused (misused as in you are supposed to take out and change your tampon every 8 hours maximum).
Of course if you don’t feel comfortable using tampons for any reason, it’s totally fine to not use them! I just don’t get the fear-mongering around TSS from tampons when hundreds of millions of women use tampons correctly without ever having any kind of issues. I also just don’t want to compare the two illnesses, because they don’t seem to correlate and it’s unnecessary to link them.
Thanks for your comment, that's interesting and makes me want to research reporting.
I’m a researcher who works on group A strep! I personally focus on its anti microbial resistance. I certainly need to read up on this more, but it’s strange this spike in invasive disease, particularly because it is treatable with antibiotics. Unsure how far this will spread, but certainly something to keep an eye on (plus it keeps me in a job lol)
Do we know stats? I'm wondering how many were women.
Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr helped lead an anti measles vaccine push in Samoa that lead to a measles outbreak with dozens of deaths
I’m tired of people asking “why did you stay?” I think a better question to ask is why is the abuser acting that way? Why do they think it’s OK to treat someone like that? what in their mind makes them believe what they’re doing is correct?
It's not that hard lol just leave
If it happens more than once then you already know that this relationship is not going to work out. It's not that hard
Literally just leave and report your evidence to the police
@@KFC-crusader_12 You sounds like a 12 year old that doesn't understand the mental and emotional affects that happen when you're in an abusive relationship it's not as easy as "just leave" maybe to some but to MOST it's not. Grow up before you write some tone deaf trash like this.
She also has videos of him tearfully apologising to her in the google doc, promising to be better and SEEMING genuine. He was very manipulative. Which is so common with domestic abuse.
Caitlin Clark has repeatedly responded to these calls with “that’s part of the game” and a desire to move on. The fact that the media refuses to do so shouldn’t be put on Clark or anyone she plays with/against. Does the media go ballistic with calls like this in the NBA or are they just trying to keep attention on the WNBA by any means necessary?
I get where you're coming from, but as an NBA fan, yes the media does "go ballistic" with calls like this. When Dillon Brooks almost concussed a dude by performing the same action that Angel Reese did, the media went OFF on him and labeled him a villain. Draymond Green had a string of flagrant fouls this year that had the media reporting on him for months. Again, I see the point you're trying to make, but this isn't sexism, it's just right vs. wrong in the world of professional sports.
Also, again as an NBA fan, it's important to understand that a lot of the league's marketing power comes from off-court happenings (or drama) precisely *_because_* it keeps eyes on them. The WNBA has never had eyes on its league, and now the media is actually reporting on them because there is general interest from the public. If they claim to want what the men have, then this type of coverage is part of the deal.
And finally, Clark may have "moved on", but her opponents certainly haven't. Reese continuously tries to diminish her undeniable effect on the league. The women of the US Olympic team specifically voted to keep her off of the team. And WNBA greats have been throwing shade at her since before she even entered the league. I think the media has every right to report on the obvious vitriol that Clark is facing from her peers. There is a pattern of behavior here, and this foul was just another example of that.
Sorry for the essay.
@@jimmyjams962 I don’t mind at all! And thank you for the examples! The last time I was immersed in the NBA was when Shaq and Kobe were playing for the Lakers, so I’ve been out of the loop for quite some time. I appreciate the essay! 👍
@@krissip1711 Thanks for being so chill. Glad the essay helped :)
“Your boyfriend is a famous internet celebrity” -so much to unpack from that remark alone
Everyone who asks "Why did you stay so long?" doesn't understand how abuse works and is judging survivors. It's so hard to get out and we beat ourselves up more than you could know about why we stayed. But in fact, it's usually because we didn't have the strength, the tools and the confidence to get out. The fact that we do is amazing. The better question is "how can I support you now?"
The Anti-Vax psyop reminds me of that one Wendigoon meme ""The Next Time That Somebody Tells You, “The Government Wouldn’t Do That,” Oh Yes They Would""
All that story tells me is that if the government is going willing to do this to countries that it views as a threat (and not actual threats), it can and will do the same to us civilians if it hasn’t already been happening and yet to be uncovered yet
It makes it all the more ironic that right-wingers were anti-vax and anti-mask (actually still anti-mask because you have a state outright banning them in public unless it's for religious reasons) because they believed this was a govt led hoax and it turns out they were actually facilitating a military freaking psyop!
I mean it'd be funny if it weren't for all the dead bodies and the compromised health of people in a country with no guarantee of necessary healthcare.

I hope people don’t forget how often she was compared to apes because of her size and anytime she had a temper issue, she was front and center of the news and insulted relentlessly for it despite the white, male tennis players who had fits and broke their rackets barely getting any coverage at all.
People say why did you stay but hear him telling her that she needs him and if she leaves she has nothing
Its manipulation and mind games you only know how powerful those words are when youve had it happen to you
I hope alice can heal ❤
I’ve been a WNBA fan for years- what this feels like is that they’ve captured lightning in a bottle with Caitlin Clark’s popularity and media outlets are trying to stir up controversy to try and continue the WNBA’s popularity, although it clearly causes more harm than good
Absolutely! Media just needs to let them play and stop stirring up all the off-court drama!
@@KeatrithAmakiir Or maybe jealous bitches who aren't as talented need to play the game correctly and leave her the fuck alone. This won't stop until they do.
While I do think the media is trying to blow everything out of proportion, it does seem to me like Clark is getting targeting for more cheap shots than just “rookie hazing” as some have put it. She’s in an extremely stressful situation. All eyes on her claiming she’s the best, and then bringing her down if they don’t win. She is on a team that’s not great to begin with. She shouldn’t be expected to be the one winning the game by herself every night. I’m not trying to discredit other players, but the worst teams pick first in the WNBA draft. The part that has bothered me the most about the whole situation is how little her teammates seem to be sticking up for her. She gets knocked to the floor with a cheap shot (such as the Chennedy Carter foul) and they sort of casually walk over and kind of help her up. If that happened on any other team, or in pretty much any other sport, men’s or women’s, their teammates would be rushing over and in the face of the one who knocked her down. Clark is keeping her head down and trying not to draw too much attention. The people beating on her are blaming refs and calling favoritism. The Reese hit was a foul. Whether it was on purpose or not, there can be no argument that it was a foul, yet Reese implied Clark got special treatment to get the call in the first place. Some of the players, whether they admit it or not, are resenting Clark. They are jealous of the attention on her and they are taking it out on a woman who seems to just be trying to play a game and take the high road.
I’ve just been screaming for more eyes on the game... I follow a ton social media accounts that give me highlights of what A’ja Wilson is doing as well as how the Sun are playing... That’s what I’ve wanted, and I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one.
WNBA is like Marvel and Star Wars with how much it is spammed, if I see it I know to ignore it lol
I got one thing to say about that PsyOps story:
UGHH!
Like, I'm not surprised. I'm not even angry. Just ... disappointed. Not even in America. Just ... in general.
Why do we have to do this to each other? Where's the line drawn? And when?
the fact that the first story in the thumbnail and title are always covered first is something i really appreciate
I'm glad she got out of that relationship. One of the things that it's hard to understand about abusive relationships from the outside is that you can't drag people out of them. They have to be ready to leave the relationship before you can do anything to be helpful. And that sucks and I'm glad that she finally got there
The thing the Pentagon did was especially evil given the timing. Like, holy shit what is happening!?
Stg I think there's a non zero chance one of these government intel groups from a leading world power kills us all by doing something unethical that only serves to benefit their bottom line short term, then they'll shocked pikachu face when the preventable disaster f*cks the world because of their own actions.
Despite that, people will still pretend they don't get why people distrusted the media about it when they were literally trying to be distrusted.
@@D_YellowMadness Exactly, people will hear this story and that there's no recession, and in the same breath say the government is "generally trustworthy." It's double think through and through.
There is no such thing as a perfect victim. Victims of domestic abuse and violence can and do often fight back. That doesn't mean they're not being abused
And in most cases they learn fighting back makes it worse so they stop & try appeasing or staying quiet instead.
There is a term for this called “reactionary abuse” I.e you as the victim engage in abusive behavior in retaliation/in response to abuse you are receiving
You are STILL the victim of the abuse you are experiencing. My lashing out at my abuser was taken and used for years against me to ruin any support or friends I had gained. Essentially isolating me even though my abuser claimed he did not want me in his life, he continued to pursue those around me.
It’s real- there is no such thing as a perfect victim- and victims of abuse will lash out

STSS is also on the rise in Canada. My aunt is an ER doctor and has already dealt with some really heartbreaking cases. It moves so, so fast, and although it's more deadly for vulnerable populations, it can absolutely kill young, healthy people in a matter of days. We don't need to panic, but we do absolutely need to take every possible precaution here and take it seriously. Please, wash your hands, clean and care for any wounds you have diligently, and wear a mask if you are at all able to.
As someone susceptible to strep, I used to get it almost once a year, this scares me. I haven't had strep in about 5+ years now, but if cases suddenly spiked I fear I'd be especially at risk. I'm 34 so I'm not within the age bracket of higher risk, but working in retail means I'll have a high chance of being exposed. Hopefully we can get this surge under wraps soon.
@@raptor152 Are you me? Because that post was pretty much word for word what I was going to say.
My mother-in-law knows a man who was around 40. Walked to the hospital last summer and died in 2hrs of STSS. He put off going to the hospital right away because he needed to work his full Friday shift so he'd get paid the full stat on the Monday.
What a dystopia we live in that this poor man died because he thought work was more important than his own health.

It's soo depressing to see people not take this seriously...
Can we please just stop asking victims of abuse why they don’t “just leave”. I’ve been in a toxic relationship and the whole issue is so complicated. They abuser is not vile 80% of the time in my experience. Though it can get to that point over time, it is a bit like a frog in a pot of heating water. You get attached, you get love-bombed, and it seems normal. My ex also threatened to un-al*ve themselves when I left, and thats not out of the norm for such ppl. Plus there are often social/friendship, consequences as well, and Alice likely feared retaliation online
It doesn't help that the victims are often those with low self-esteem or limited relationship experience (either by the abuser's direct influence or otherwise) which may add to a lack of peer/parental support and outside help to actually leave.
Its a valid question cause it's the fxcking normal response to being treated badly and we're just trying to figure out how is it not obvious to you
@@KingChaddisuch a dumb outlook. Try to have just a LITTLE empathy Jesus Christ.
@hommefataltaemin trust me that's the empathetic response. You don't wanna hear the logical 1
@@KingChaddi Considering Alex in this case has been violent and also threatened to kill her multiple times and that 41% of women who are killed by a partner had separated or taken steps to separate from them, it would be reasonable for Alice to fear that happening to her. As well as her self esteem/worth being shat on by him which probably made her think she needed him. Unfortunately, that's what manipulators do. Or they could threaten you with revenge porn if you leave which is very common among abusive relationships.
Unless you've been in a relationship like this, you can't understand it. They condition you to hate yourself and believe that their behaviour towards you is justified.
I don’t think those labels do anything. It just lets lawmakers pat themselves on the back and say they did something. I really doubt labels have done much to change behavior when everyone I know either ignores them or makes fun of them.

If you don't ask, you will never learn.
I still stand by my comment. Rather than 'hating" on someone who is asking a question why not answer it and educate them. If you are hating that question then maybe the problem is you, not them. Ask yourself why are you exactly hating someone who asks you that question. Is it because they are making you feel uncomfortable by making you face facts.

For the Angel foul, Caitlin’s right, It’s a basketball play. And it was called correctly on the court because it was above the shoulders- automatic flagrant. The issue with the foul on Chennedy is that it was not a basketball play that was incorrectly called on the court. They’re two completely different situations. The media is being purposefully ignorant to how the sport even works and it’s frustrating.
The fact that NO ONE was this riled up for Angel Reese when she was literally slammed by the neck. These fans are just riding on Clark’s coat tail and putting so much unnecessary weightt on her and she is still a rookie herself.

@@Dramawitsvu17fully agree
"The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one."
I remember a time when tobacco companies tried pushing the narrative that smoking was good for you. Today you probably won't find many (if any) parents who would support that notion. How many parents do you think are out there who do not take the harm social media can do seriously. Having a warning label could help to, at minimum, start changing the attitudes.
I've heard a lot of anti-vaxxers claim that smoking protects them from all kinds of infections. 💀💀
Comparing how games cause children to become violent to warning about social media are two completely different things as one is saying a false claim (with no real evidence) whilst the other is warning danger of falling under social media dangerous addiction which have some know fact to it even in adults.
Her reactive insults and the slapping is super normal for abusive victims. It is a phenomenon called "reactive abuse" and it is the source of most of the myths about patners who abuse eachother. In reality, there are vanishingly few relationships that can maintain equal, mutal abuse. In almost every case one of the partners is the primary abuser, and the other is a reactive victim.
Abusers will use reactive abuse on the part of the victim partner to futher manipulate them and to attempt to get them to bury the story, just like he did here. Worse, they will gaslight (for real) the victim into thinking that they are the really abusive person, and that the abuser is actually a chill person who is just going crazy trying to deal with the victim.
Hallmarks of that are constant belittlement and cruelty, while always placing the blame on the actual victim, which is what looks to be exactly what happened here.
That makes me feel so much better about parts of my life... holy that is a load of my chest. I had a dr who I saw once every few months say that I was abusive to my abuse too.... when is rarely talked about her to my psychiatrist I only talked to about meds. She's not my therapist. She wasn't there. Dropped her fast. No one should validate or take the side of abusers
I'm glad you dropped them! That's bullshit @@StuckUnderTheCovers
@@StuckUnderTheCovers Yeah, unfortunately a lot of doctors are really bad. I am sorry they said that to you. There is literally no excuse for that on their part. They literally were indirectly supporting the abuse you faced.
It feels like no knows about reactive abuse and how it plays into how outsiders view abusive relationships, or they don’t care they just see that the one who’s been abused finally struck back and it’s “well they do it to each other”
Also it’s been proven that the most dangerous time for an abused person is when they’re leaving their abuser because they will often escalate and frequently ends in death.
Reactive abuse - I don't really like the term very much and wish there was a different one. It sounds as if the victim was just as bad when it's a form or self defense.
It's as if we'd call self defense reactive murder (or reactive assault or whatever the defense mechanism was).
A friend of mine is actually in Japan right now, thanks for the heads up about STSS so I can warn him!

Goes really deep into the source of many of these missions and even the origin of psychological warfare tracing back to Freud and his nephew (!) who was the inventor of PR and emotionally manipulative ad campaigns in the 1920s. As much as knowing stuff sucks, it's ultimately good to become aware of these things.

Do you think any of us have our own take, or did the content creators all start at the same sources, create the same take, and repeat it back to us in a way that feels like we're finding out with family? If you're someone who has time to digest multiple tea channels you'll find they all use the same data to come to the same conclusions, yet none of them are journalists. They feel like the tabloids. I mean that kindly. It's fine until they get it wrong. And they have before. Often.
For all we know she did far worse shit. Her evidence is half the story so let’s all pull our heads out our asses
I'm glad Alice has spoken up about ImAlexx. And the part about "why didnt you leave" is so hard. Honestly someone like that beats you down emotionally and/or physically, they essentially brainwash you into thinking that you dont deserve better. But you do. If you're reading this and you are at all thinking of leaving a partner that is hurting you- man, woman, nonbinary, etc- if your partner is physically or emotionally hurting you- you deserve better. Leaving was so hard for me, but July 6th will be the second anniversary of me leaving. Of me choosing my own happiness and safety. My life has gotten so much better. Yours will too. Stay safe of course, but there are people out there that can help you. There are ways to discreetly contact a domestic violence organization.

@@ctg4818 there isn't proof of him being physically abusive but the language he uses is definitely both emotionally and mentally abusive. idk if Phil got into the nitty gritty enough but I recommend looking at the stuff in the google drive. apparently the poor girl was suffering from depression during all this too.
@@ctg4818 But there are times when they do. Like when a man lampshades his jokes, then commits SA
I’m so glad she finally got away from Alex, that seems like a situation where it would only escalate. He seems very dangerous. I feel awful for her. I hope the future is better and she can move on from this pain.
having someone’s contact as “racist” followed by a slur is so insane
Ngl the fact she admits to that ads so much validity to her story.
@@xynjak yeah i respect it, didn’t try to hide anything and just wanted the truth out there even if it’ll ruin her career
Seems to me that she was outing herself as a way of getting ahead of whatever his defense is going to be, because I'm sure he'd point out that she's said things that were just as bad if not worse.
@@zehxiy Frankly I think she should be more worried about her life. Crazy exes and revenge murder and all that. She should file for a restraining order if possible and maybe buy a gun and some lessons.
@NikkiBudders we don't have a gun culture like the US we have excellent gun control here.
But she can get a restraining order and police are pretty good in some cases dealing with abusive exes
Me: Why would I need a lavender-scented emotional support monkey?
First story:
Why would the first story make you need a support monkey? Sure, it's bad, but not bad in a way that actually affects you.
Or are you just a copypaste bot?
my ex had an emotional support monkey, just a stuffed animal named Chief.
@@artyb27 Because most people have empathy? So people being hurt tends to upset them...

People who ask "why did you stay" should just stop. FKA Twigs said it better years ago: "I’m not going to answer that question anymore because the question should really be to the abuser, ‘Why are you holding someone hostage?’”

The problem with labeling social media is that it's not a physical product, so warnings like those on cigarette packs would just get buried in the terms and conditions, making them ineffective.
Unless it had to be clearly labeled in the app store or the first thing you see going to a website before logging ing/making a new account. That might make it more effective. Especially if it was in high contract colors.
I think if they made it something a little more assertive/invasive like a pop-up when you open the app for the first time that day, it might actually be effective. It would definitely piss people off though
Wouldn't surprise me. Social media has fought tooth and nail for years against any regulations to their platforms and transparency among its users.
Plus, socials aren't the issue. The issues are bad/no parenting, and have you seen the state of the world? Any sane person is going to be distressed by that!
@@wmdkitty I definitely think the socials themselves are an issue to a point. A lot of their algorithms are for profit and pretty much function to drive engagement over keeping the platform functional, safe, or even enjoyable for its users, and that's something that's been affecting a lot of websites recently.
I was so frustrated during the pandemic bc the Sinovac vaccine was released but people delayed getting it, so many people were spreading fear from saying that it will give you covid to turning you into a zombie. It also the most widely available vaccine so later on it suddenly became a status symbol if you got the American vax instead of the Chinese one.
As someone who survived STSS this is so scary... I know when I got it I was in high school during spring break it was awful. I remember only bits and pieces of it but I know in the beginning it started with a tickle and then by the middle of the night I was throwing up. From vomiting we had to go home early, I was admitted into the hospital I think almost 72 hours later and I was in and out of consciousness. I was placed in a private room after some treatment started, but I distinctly remember having been woken up very harshly with a light shining in my eyes and they were asking me questions. I'm going to assume I almost died based on what other medical professionals have told me. The medication I was on was intense, all of them upset my stomach. I was in the hospital for about a week, and I wasn't really able to eat solid foods or anything for a while.
What I'm trying to say is PLEASE take this seriously, take care of yourself and if you think something is wrong, go with the assumption that something is actually wrong. Some other symptoms can include turning colors. My skin was turning purple and red in some areas, if you placed pressure on some body parts it would be white. Even though it's not as common please take action sooner rather than later. After I contracted STSS I was prone to strep throat for 5 years, I had fluid in my lungs because when they treat you for STSS they need to flush you, I think I had 6-7 bags of saline the time I was there. Not saying this to scare anyone but man my alarm bells went off as soon as Phil reported on this, take care, be well and stay hydrated you beautiful bastards!
Warning label on social media: Warning: social media can cause major stupidity in people if overused
I remember the Canadian assassination thing happening and just feeling so engaged and confused. Because we have a situation, where another government, has assassinated someone on our soil. That is a big deal. An extremely massive deal. Yet we were hounded by the international community and told that we were lying. It's insane. And then when the Americans came out saying "hey, this just happened to us too", then the world started to take us seriously, like, wtf? And you still have a lot of people who blindly support the Indian government, regardless of their wrongs and it's just mind boggling. You can still love your country and not support clear wrongdoing.
Well what was happening in Canada was because Justin Trudeau is unpopular particularly conservatives decided to support the claim that he was lying and India was telling the truth. That’s the problem with polarized politics we now trust foreign governments more than our own. Regarding the assassination of the Canadian, majority of Indian politicians and I would even say majority of people agree with it to an extent however majority of Sikhs don’t agree with it. In India asking for a separate nation state or trying to hold a referendum for one will land a hefty prison sentence. They don’t believe in the right to self determination. For them a separatist is on the same level as Osama bin Laden.
Well Canada is basically US puppet state, why would anyone care.
Hello welcome to the real world, India is a very reactionary Hindu supremacist country with billions of Indians who will support their government no matter what, it wasn’t always like that and this trend came with modi but it was always there, kind of like trump with the US but more extreme because the soci-economic conditions in India are much worse.
Friendly reminder that Hardeep Singh Nijjar is an Indian citizen, born in India to Indian parents, raised in India, who smuggled himself to Canada as an adult on fraudulent documents (including a fake marriage) but got a second passport anyways because Canada hands them out like cereal box prizes. He then went right back to his life's work of trying to get independence for his home province of Khalistan, including participating/facilitating multiple targeted killings and bombings in India, using his Canadian citizenship as a shield.
Now, I'm not going to get into the pros and cons of the Khalistani cause because one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, but let's not pretend that any western country would have put up with this bullshit for a hot minute. As an American, if I had killed a bunch of people for January 7 OR some ACAB CHOP movement, and then tried to run off to Canada on a fake marriage citizenship visa, do you think the USA would stand for that? Heck, do you think they'd have to? Canada would black bag my ass and drop me off at a USA border office with a "sorry" note.
Somehow you kill a dozen people for a terrorist/freedomfighter cause in the brown countries and then you can run back to hide behind mommy Canada's skirts and it doesn't count? Nah. Canada wants to go there, they can start by paying compensation to everyone he and his organization killed, and then we'll talk.
Legit. In my abusive marriage I had nowhere else to go and all he had to do was a small thing and it would melt my heart and I would forgive him until it wasn't enough. And I would get so frustrated with him that I would dish back some of what he gave me just to get him to feel a FRACTION of what he gave ne in a hope he would recognize his error.. but men like this never will. I even emotionally cheated and technically slept with someone else a couple weeks after I called it off with him because I was tired of him cheating on me, blaming me, and ignoring me and his children.
Sounds like you were as much of the problem as he was from your own testimony…
@@ducksquidbat8315 only after years of being pushed around. The "perfect victim" doesn't exist. We are human and if you push anyone enough they will fight back. What the movie Enough for more context.
I used to watch ImAlexx until this situation. The worst part is that he always put across an image of being a decent guy, and commenting against various internet creators that people have deemed bad people, but it turns out that he was just as bad if not worse than those he was criticising.
I used to watch him too but stopped maybe a year or so ago because so much of his content is so negative and sometimes feels a little _too_ persistent. You're right though, it's quite jarring to reconcile his seemingly genuine "nice guy" persona with the awful abuse coming out of his mouth in these clips.
Always seems to be first-wave commentary RUclipsrs getting outed as nasty pieces of work. Suppose it makes sense, it takes a particular mentality to spend all of your energy criticising other people for content, whether these others deserve it or not. Makes me grateful for the second-wave commentary community, so much more positive and humour-focused.
I didn’t know of him but your description sounds like typical abusers to me, projecting a lot onto others their very own disgusting behavior. A lot of abusers will camouflage themselves in overly kind acts publicly just to be completely rotten in private, it’s a very common tactic.
I've never seen this guy, but when I was in my 20s, I started watching some onion dbag dude. This young guy seems similar. No need to honor them with names.
That content sucked me in at first. He put himself out there as a defender of women with videos shaming bad men who treated women poorly, but he, too, was self projecting.
I knew he was a POS ever since the slazo sitiation
I knew him only becos of what he did to Slazo, I always wondered how people even liked this dude he has always had this grimy attitude & he showed that when he doubled down on false accusations that ruined Slazo’s reputation so feels great seeing an ugly person inside & out get what’s coming to them
Phil, you should talk about the Panera data leak. I am a former employee that hasn’t worked there since 2021 and after a ransomware attack in March my social security number and other personal information was stolen along with god knows how many other employees’ information. The Panera PR teams continue to downplay the severity of the data breach and they won’t even tell us what exact personal information the hackers accessed beyond our SSN and names/addresses. The only form of “compensation” they have offered is 1 year of credit and identity monitoring, which does nothing to fix the problem.
They didn’t even tell us that there was a data breach until this week, and that means that these people have had access to our information for 3 months and we’ve been clueless.
The thing I’m thinking about is. If the U.S. government is doing that to other countries, what are they doing to us Americans?
I was not prepared for the "loss of limbs" as a side effect.
Super shocking and disappointing when someone you would watch turns out to be garbage.
Video games have warning labels, that’s what the rating is, it warns you “hey this game is fucked up, your kid shouldn’t play”, social media apps should also have some warning along the lines of “this shit is fake”
Video game ratings are voluntary and not put their by the government but by the industry itself
@@Americanbadashhdepends on where you live
@@Americanbadashh in Australia games must have a rating if sold physically, online games that aren’t mature don’t need a rating anything MA up does, you can self classify using authorised tools though instead of the ACB classifying for you, the UK is similar iirc
And it clearly works, since not a single minor has ever played GTA V!
@@FastSloth87 that’s not the point lol, it’s an advisory mark, it’s so parents know that kids shouldn’t play the game, it’s suitable for people over 18 or whatever, it is still on the guardian to watch what the kid does.

Saw the clip drop and then this so came over. Only halfway through that clip and dang. Having anyone talk like that to a partner is just horrific.
Real abuse is far worse
@ctg4818 why are you leaving multiple comments downplaying the abuse shown in the video?
Thanks for the chapter markers, it’s helpful if I zone out on a story and want to go back
Wasn’t ImAlexx in the group that tried to ruin Slazo years ago, and never properly apologized for his role in that mess? Good to see that slimeball finally getting outed for being a horrible person.
That whole friend group is doomed. KingAni, Weest, and Alexx tried to ruin someone’s career and I’m just waiting for the others to get exposed too.
You want to know how sad the world is right now, there was another mass shooting yesterday in Rochester Hills, Michigan at a splash pad ment for kids to enjoy their summer. 9 people were hit, including kids, yet this has become so common that it barely even makes the news anymore.

Yes, innocent until proven guilty. However, the fact that Alice went to the police before going to social media gives her more credibility, at least in my eyes.
my brother in christ there is audio, video, EIGHTY TWO PAGES of blatant proof. Stfu with that "iNnOcEnT uNtIl PrOvEn GuIlTy" shit. What, do you think it could all be AI?? And how does going to the police first provide more credibility? Most of the time the police don't do shit these cases unless the girl is nearly or actually dead. Bro is a piece of shit & should be thrown behind bars, no more social media access plain & simple. If that's not immediately clear to you then you need to heavy reevaluate yourself.
"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean anything when you have so much evidence to prove someone is guilty. There is clear evidence of Alex threatening to harm and even kill her. That alone proves he's guilty. Why do you think everyone turned on Diddy? Because we have clear surveillance footage of him beating the shit out of his ex. So many people were defending him until that footage came out. "Innocent until proven guilty" only applies when we don't have a lot of evidence to go off of, and it's one person's words against the others. But when we can see the abuse happening with our own eyes, then the phrase "Innocent until proven guilty" is meaninglessness.

Yes. And many women aren't believed by those who are supposed to protect us.
More credibility than… what? It’s still a 50-50 situation where you’ve only heard from one party involved. I’m inclined to think that this “imalexx” may be in the wrong, but the adage of “guilty until proven innocent” is built off the backs of countless wrongful convictions/ accusations, and you simply cannot ignore that fact. Do we have to go over the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard saga again?!
I Live in Japan. I was infected with STSS. It infected my tonsils causing tonsillitis that spread. It was miserable. I was in the hospital for three days, which should have been a week. I left the hospital on my own accord because the doctor was unwilling to answer any of my questions about my infection and treatment. He was using me as a learning test subject. Doing all kinds of tests that didn’t have any explainable reason. Unnecessary CT scans and blood tests.
Only now am I learning the truth about my infection and I feel like a lab rat. This was in early 2023.
The reason being is it's a national security threat, talks are going around that SSTS might be weaponized by a country who really, really doesn't like Japan you can guess who... Those tests weren't unnecessary, it's in Japan's best interests to know everything they can about STSS incase a "random" outbreak happens.
@@A_Bag_of_Potatoes There isn't a reason that OP wasn't told, or was given consent so your entire argument is invalid.

The need to be open and honest with a patient should not be preceded or mitigated by irrational fears or policies of state or government. I left the hospital because of the actions of the doctor, (or rather inaction/lack of communication.) That doctor said to my face “I saved your life!” I thanked him and told him goodbye. I also avoid the Naica department of that hospital like I would a snake. Their Sekigeka doctors are completely different, though. (Naica=internal medicine, Sekigeka=Orthopedics.)
@@GrinningStudiosCompletely agree. Patients should always be informed.
I'd add that if researchers wanted to study me for any reason I would say yes as long as I was informed.
Your situation was different and the Dr put it on himself to use you.
The story on India was wild ! I'm from New Zealand and this week and insane report came out on China running similar intelligence and informal "police stations" aimed at Chinese New Zealanders, especially those with different political options
Actually those Sikhs leaders he's talking about are actually terrorises. The man who attempted to be assassinated 'Gurpatwan Singh pannu' made threats to bomb the India-canada flight & he was making those videos standing in front of white House in the USA!
They also attack Indian embassies & openly celebrate the former Indian prime minister's assanation. Even their organisation is declared terrorists by Canada's own government
For the Caitlin Clark story, this is nothing new. There is a reason fights are always broadcasted or big hits are always talked about like this. Ratings and money. When the next thing happens, this will die down, just like it has every other time. Maybe show up in an ESPN biggest hits or fouls of all time a few years from now.
