I feel like it’s easy to write Mike off (and I definitely used to) because he looks and sounds like a complete bro but I actually enjoy every interview he’s on. He’s genuinely engaged in the conversation, empathetic and contributes great points.
the way will says straight faced, no hesitation, no hint of joking, "you're perfect" as qt is retelling this horrific experience absolutely melted my heart, he's listening so genuinely and he's letting her speak and he's being supportive when he truly believes she needs it man
hearing QT talk about how this effected her is so fucking devastating, like its absolutely horrific the amount of shit shes had to go through as a streamer, especially as a female streamer, and now this happens. I as someone who has struggled with body image issues and someone who has experienced sexual harassment, its so so real having those visceral reactions, and hearing her talk about throwing up her lunch for the first time in years really hit me. I really hope she feels better soon and doesn't have to deal with this.
hasan the literal clown defending Porn saying "in a patriachy men objectify women and are against porn" clear oxymoron from a champaigne socialist again. Porn is the literal definition of Videos that objectify and sexualize women for the consumption of a majority men audience. a Patriachal liberal society is advocating for porn. Ridiculous rambling fro m this man and ilove how this girl lies and says "No i love sex work but i just dont want to do that, every woman judges another EVEN for dressing "cheap" and the vast majority of women judge other women by the promiscuity which is a good thing. This woman does the same, she doesnt want to be portrayed sexually and objectfied , this is why she doesnt do sex work, but the fact she fake defending this awful industry shows how hypocritcal this is.
this episode is something else man I loved it. Qt is amazing for all the things she is willing to do and I feel sorry for her, it is also good to see Mike as a person instead of just Logan's sidekick and his story with addiction is inspiring plus removing the pay wall cuz it is a serious conversation is a wonderful move, 10/10.
I ain't gonna talk like I'm an expert in this cuz I ain't, but over heard that Mike has a book about his addiction and those stories were just taken from other people he knew that did go through addiction. Not saying that could be true of that Mike didn't go through addiction, just something I've heard. Do with that with what you will

the fact that 3 out of the 4 people on this table had personal stories related to opioid addiction just tells you how big of an epidemic this shit has become in America...
@@MeanStreamFraudCast I assume you are trying to say that it's a small sample size so it doesn't matter, but that only works if there wasn't an opioid epidemic as it may not be 75% but the fact that there are 3/4 people at that table that have had a personal story related to it means it is still very common
I did think that Deepfake stuff was disgusting and should be prosecuted before, but when QT said that seeing that video made her puke is when it hit me how little of a grasp I have on the consequences. QT is one of the coolest content creators on the platform, and she deserves all the attention and money she gets and so much more.
I think cause our generation has grown up with the internet we can tell the difference but like QT said her parents can't tell the difference they think it's real
@@dariuswilliams7509 idk even when you can tell the difference, to see it of yourself would be pretty revolting. like uncanny valley and knowing that other people are looking at it without a care in the world to how much it creeps you out would suck
@@dariuswilliams7509 It's not generational. The impact on her life is not fake though, some people will treat like she did it and she had no say in it's creation or distribution or is paid for it. People do have a right to determine how their image is used. If someone started putting my face on random meme shit it can be pretty tough reconciling. But porn has other baggage. She had extended family see the stuff and reach out and we're not told if that was supportive or shitty. And considering her family is very religious, a lot of it could be shitty. That's really awful for something she had no part of and the removal of consent is also a massive problem. It's not about generational divide but more that us guys don't have to think about so many people wanting to see us like that. We have different relationship with it. Like Ludwig said, his balls leaked and it was humorous even if similarly violating but for women, that shit doesn't go away. They have to deal with it all Poppin into their DM's to pop into their business email for it to be sent to relatives and have to field a phone call about it being fake. Ludwig didn't have to deal with that because the baggage is different.
I am SO glad QT addressed how she is dealing with her relationship with Atrioc, because I truly didn't know how anyone could process that. Loved this episode for everyone's intense bare honesty.
When you just made their damn wedding cake and now have to deal with all this as well as interwoven personal friendships/relationships…fuck man she’s strong
@@kp3O5 nothing will be done and they have already deep faked the dude whatever his name is banging qt and it's hot. I should send it to her on Twitter.
Mike should go out on his own, because he is far more likable when he isn't with Logan. Just in general, I think the guy has been through a lot in his personal life compared to his friends, and has a ton of experiences. Because of this, I think he's able to empathize and see when things are wrong. Unfortunately, he's all in with Logan and has his whole career tied up in his sphere. And because of that he's often thrown into situations where he's having to go along with people doing bad things. Not making excuses. BUT I just think he would do a lot better if he tried going off on his own, and wasn't dependant on scummy people. I feel like he has enough fans that he could do streaming full time, or just something entertainment based. Because regardless what you think of Mike, he has a personality that clicks with certain people. He's good on camera, and knows how to entertain.
just about everyone he associates with has been exposed for garbage behavior or scamming common folk. I STILL like to think Mike isnt like that....but maybe he does use his charm for bad. Kinda just throws a pity party for himself or associates with scammers. Sucks I used to like him a ton man but you can only see so much before it changes your mind on someone.
He seems much more worldly and grounded in reality than Logan or Jake Paul, both of which seem like the most privliaged, silver spooned man-babies around.
Mike isn’t the type of guy to abandone and turn his back on a good friend when they are down and being hated by the world. That’s something a scumbag would do. So no he’s not gonna take ur shit advice
Agreed. All of them did great. I loved that Mike went out of his way to acknowledge that he will never be in the position to fully understand what she is experiencing. Empathy is hard to come by, especially on the internet. I'm glad they did this.
QT has genuinely inspired me a lot as a woman. She stands up for what she believes in and isn’t afraid to speak her truth even though she knows people are just waiting to tear her apart for anything she says. I truly admire her confidence and transparency

As a man I have to SAY that, well, Cutie Cinderella threatens my masculinity. And it's hecking awesome. She is such a fucking girl boss I'm going to fuarking transition
the more i see content from QT the more inspirational i find her, she’s so open about so many difficult subjects and isn’t afraid to be vulnerable online, she’s honestly doing amazing work just being herself and her resilience is admirable
Loved this episode. Sad that QT has to talk about it but also very admirable. she is such an inspirational person, it sucks that she has been through so much but refreshing to see someone so open and willing to sacrifice their own comfort to help a lot more people. Same for Mike and Will, very admirable. I wish more people had empathy.
From a girls perspective, thank you for having this conversation for everyone to see, it means alot to hopefully not only myself but many other girls too
QT's reaction to Hasan saying he was already in contact to talk about making laws for Deep Fake and in talk to AOC was really sweet, I had to go back to watch it. Genuinely appreciation and happiness. I hope everything works out and then after the enterviews and laws, QT go back to do her amazing events and get notice even more so she eventually gets known for her actual work instead of being a victim to a terrible controversy. Thank you so much for not paid walling this conversation, that was really important to hear
This conversation with QT really brings some additional light to Atrioc’s written apology. It was well-written, but it speaks volumes that he lacked initiative to do anything other than apologize to his stream without QT pushing him. It makes the apology feel way less genuine. Like QT said, he NEEDS to pay to clean things up, but even after he does that, he is not owed any forgiveness from these girls (or the audience for that matter)
@@TheForestFamily yeah me too. It really makes the apology fall flat imo. At this point all he can really do is take action to better things as much as possible, but until then I think his word alone has pretty much lost credibility to me
Meh it is obvious that he panicked and hindsight is always 20/20. I must say tho if QT had just forgiven him like nothing had even happened (like when xQc insulted and harassed her live in front of 70k viewers) I would've been disappointed af. Atriac doesn't deserve her friendship after doing what he did, in fact I don't think he deserves ANY streamer friendships from this point forward.
@@Johan-di6md get a life dude. you don't know any of these people and not even his side of the story, so don't be that quick to judge. you obviously don't know what friendship means lol
qt is so strong and it makes me so happy to see a group of men surrounding her and LISTENING and being KIND to her and letting her tell HER story. none talking over her. none telling her what she should think. it is all her. great group of men and an OUTSTANDING woman. this is such a good example of how people should treat each other.
When QT said she saw the video and then immediately went to throw up her lunch… that statement alone is so damn heartbreaking. Too many people who don’t have any first or second hand experience with things like dysmorphia, eating disorders, etc won’t recognize or understand how severe that really is.
I want to really thank QT for her perspective here. As a dude, I was having trouble understanding the situation(which is why i didn't comment when my friends discussed it) and having the opportunity to hear what went on from her side and the affect on her....damn like that just fucking sucks. I really hope talking about it and being open can lead to real change and laws to help the situation. Like....damn.
You obviously gained nothing From these conversations if you think this is just a "devil men created all porn/deepfake porn etc". There is no one gender to blame for ANYTHING.
Hasan already laying the groundwork for outlawing deepfake porn cause how hurt qt was makes me want to tear up. Dude is a good friend through and through. 🥺
I haven’t gotten to that part yet but I 1000% was educated by this fiasco. I commonly would search “only fans leaks” which lead to deepfakes and would commonly seek out deepfake content. When this ordeal started it opened my eyes up to reality and now I just can’t lol.
These guys creating such a safe space for QT to speak freely and be vulnerable, especially as the only girl in the room, is so beautiful to see. No one talking over her or undermining her experience, just listening to her and showing love. Also her face when Hasan mentioned that he’s already in touch with AOC about this situation and passing legislation was so heartbreaking, but also heart warming, you can see how much someone taking this shit really seriously and being proactive about this means to her. I loved this episode and I’d love to see these four in future episodes. Such a cool dynamic. And love how it’s a serious convo but they’re still making each other laugh.
Mike is a lot smarter and cooler when he is on his own vs. just being Logan Paul's yes man. I also had no idea about his mental health and addiction struggles. He has a lot of empathy and insight and I feel like he usually doesn't have a platform to share that side of him (which he even addresses in the episode).
i really like to think Mike isnt involved with all these scams that are always happening with EVERYONE he is associated with. I still hold out hope for Mike but i guess its hard to defend him. Bleh
It feels Like Logan actually holds him back as opposed to helping him succeed. He’s always having to put up with Logan’s shit and live in his shadow, but if everyone got to see this side of him I feel like they would see how much more genuine of a guy he is compared to Logan 🤷🏼♂️
Pity that he is a friend with that scammer and his yesman, I kinda do not get it, it makes me doubt him and hard to believe he does not care only about money and clout
This actually feels like the first time I've heard somebody talk about the impact this kind of sexualisation has had on their body image issues so directly and honestly. Having struggled with an eating disorder in the past I have had trouble realising why sexual harassment and objectifying comments have had such a negative impact on my recovery. I realised that when people treat me or my body as an object, it sets me back years of recovery, of telling myself that I am more than my body, that people see me as more than that and that my worth is not determined by it. QT talking about that effect so openly makes me wish that more people can understand how that objectification can hurt so deeply and I genuinely hope she and everybody else affected by this situation can heal. ❤
AS A PERSON WHO ACTUALLY PAYS FOR THE PAYWALLED PORTION OF THE PODCAST… I’m stoked all the homies got to see the whole conversation. It’s definitely an important topic.
I cannot express to you the feeling of understanding that Will gave me when talking about his brother and what it's like to be the confidant of a sibling who has a severe drug problem since your adolescence, and the feeling of your problems being dwarfed in comparison in both your parents and your own mind. Thank you, Will. This episode has easily made me the most emotional any episode of any podcast.
Shoutout to QT. She’s such an amazing woman for talking about the things she’s going through. Like truly I think that will change some minds who are unsure about the situation. Definitely an illuminating testimony. Would love her to be permanent host. Also Will out here asking REALLY good questions. I too had some preconceived notions about Mike bc he is around Logan and this definitely showed how much of an empathetic raw person he is. Lovely episode. Lovely people. 👍
I'm a huge fan of QT and Atrioc and I'm glad she addressed how she was handling everything. The fact that it feels like she's was doing all his PR for him is insanity and I'm glad she set her boundaries and hope she heals from this and helps bring change with the interviews she's going to do and hopefully bring the situation to a close. All the love for her and the girls that got exposed to this because of the wildfire of the tragedy.
I had no idea she struggled with that before this ep, but it means so much to hear about her experience as someone who has also struggled for most of their life with an ED. I’m so glad she is using her voice to talk about these very important things when she doesn’t have to, and in fact, it’s extremely hard to talk about. I’m so glad she was part of this podcast ep
That's the part that really got to me too, I just can't imagine how triggering seeing those videos and pictures was. Seeing a fake "perfect you" in deep fake porn.....I know my disorderd ass wouldn't be able to handle it 😭 she's so strong
God I really do feel for QT, I already struggle with disorderd eating/purging and I can't imagine how seeing myself having a perfect body in deep fake porn would affect me, like that's so incredibly triggering. I hope she heals from this :( sending love her way
from Atrioc's twitlonger apology I assumed that QT was helping out with suggestions for restitution but dang she REALLY had to hold his hand through that one, huh. It's illuminating to discover that the things I appreciated most about his second apology (paying legal fees, working with the law firms, etc) were all because QT did the heavy lifting in providing him with actionable solutions. Honestly, thanks for being open about how those conversations went down. QT deserves so much credit for her handling of this awful situation.
I don’t think that should be a big negative for Atrioc though. He asked someone what he should do like he should’ve because QT has way more knowledge about this than him and he agreed to take those actions. Still a good set of actionable steps for him even if he didn’t come up with them
@@xeonbladev18 You’re right that it’s good he plans to take the action steps and that is something. But at the same time, it also didn’t sound like he necessarily approached QT from a place of looking for her direction on steps to take but instead she just sorta laid them out for him out of frustration. It also makes me re-think his authenticity because his apology came off as if those steps were from him and showed how sincere/serious he was about taking responsibility but now we know QT had to prompt them and he didn’t even give her credit for the guidance.
@@LiveOutLoud321 I can agree to that mostly. Maybe I’m just slightly leaning towards it still being a good thing he asked someone directly affected on how he should handle this. He did seem genuinely sorry to me but just needed guidance from a women directly involved. It makes sense why’s she’s frustrated obviously especially considering they were really close friends so I get where you’re coming from too. But I still see it as an overall good response from him with actionable steps which is so rare to begin with too. But of course I don’t know any of these people and my opinion means nothing compared to theirs.
Atrioc was probably the person whose content I was consuming the most up until this happened. I am extremely disappointed, and obviously he did something really disgusting here. While deepfakes are the latest trend, a LOT of people consumed the very real hacked nudes of celebrities and content creators in the iCloud leaks a few years ago (many did so openly and voraciously), and didn't quite realize the harm it was doing to those people because they consider them celebrities and "it comes with the territory", similar to the narrative that some ignorant people are levying about the deepfake stuff too. And after the public discourse shifted toward how much of a violation it is, people were able to change their opinions on the matter. Now, I can't truly know how QT or anyone else is going to be impacted either short- or long-term by this deepfake situation, but it does have some parallels. I do believe that Atrioc does feel like a piece of shit for this, maybe exclusively as a result of being told how bad it is by people, maybe of his own volition, but I do find it mildly disappointing that the takeaway from him trying to take QT's advice as to what path to take to start making things the slightest bit better is that the damage is irreparable. I believe forgiveness should be an option (and she does sort of open the window for "maybe down the line i will feel differently"), and to say he can't be helped while he's doing exactly what I ask of him feels... tough. It's hard to know exactly what to do, and it's hard to know exactly what the women impacted will want you to do. I still have difficulty when trying to decide how far someone has to go with something before you should never give them a chance to grow and change and make amends. If he denied his actions, if he tried to pretend like it didn't happen, if he wasn't trying to make some sort of steps to repair some of the damage, it would be an easy "bye forever" type of situation, but I find it frustrating when people rush to cancel people forever for every poor decision that happens. The whole situation is just extremely disappointing and maddening, but because Atrioc was the one to have brought it to the public, in some ways he's being treated like the person who is creating the deepfakes. Yes, there are extreme problems with the concept of how you view women if you choose to consume this type of media. Yes, not taking the time to think about the impact of your live apology and potentially platforming it further is an extreme fuckup. But overall at least the dude seems to be willing to accept the blame. That's more than you can say for a large number of people who do awful things. I would be shocked if if none of the people currently decrying atrioc as unforgivable have never either searched or looked at hacked/leaked nudes of a celebrity. People treated that thing extremely commonplace for a long time. It really is hard to form an opinion on anyone's actions without the benefit of time passing. I'm just sad, overall.
Came here to hear QT’s story but ended up being touched by Mike’s story as well. Such an important discussion on empathy and the complexities of supporting family members with addiction. Really great episode!
as a woman who has a next to no voice online, i'm greatful that qt is taking these fights. she's a w for women she really is. i wish her only the best of luck
I feel horrible for QT and the other girls involved in this… I hope my future daughter is as strong as her… and listening to Mike about addiction and how some ppl r given up on is so real and something ppl r desensitized too… do what u can to help, and be a little nicer today and going forward!
the conversations about substance use disorder, recovery, family support, and resources made me tear up. These somewhat small conversations are super important to reduce the stigma of substance use disorder.
As someone who also only knew Mike through his proximity to Logan Paul, this was one of the most heartfelt and amazing podcast episodes so far. To see what a genuine and thoughtful person he is and the conversations that came from that was something incredible.
QT briefly hit on a point that women don't have the option to not be sexualized; they're either forced to make porn of themselves to profit, or have porn made of them without their consent
QTs bulimia incident brought me back to 19 year old me. I can’t believe I used to do that to myself. I’m 30 and I’ve also had those situational relapses after something traumatic happens. Crazy, I’m proud of her for taking on those interviews. What a legend
I’m such a politics frog. I understand why they don’t do a political podcast but it’s so much fun to hear guests talk abt politics when they traditionally don’t
absolutely its so fun to hear people talk politics who they usually dont. it feels so much more authentic and lighthearted bc its not like political nerds having a dick measuring contest
i dont know why hasan doesnt make it his niche, i know most guests wont, but i feel like they are a million other podcasts where "content creators talk about their life, and there are 0 where some random youtuber can speak his mind on complicated topics with someone more knowledgeable but also isnt out to get them canceled. i feel like thats such a bigger vertical for growth rather than just another pod with guests
Yeah, I love hearing normies talk about politics, it lets me better understand the people around me instead of judging them in the moment and creating tension
It’s interesting too that because it’s not a live broadcast, the guest is not as tense about discussing certain topics which ends up making for a more intriguing conversation
QT is the angry mum that the streaming space needs. She shouldn't fucking have to be, but she is and she is a hero for going to bat on behalf of women in the space.
I appreciate how the 3 men in this conversation held themselves. They asked questions, listened and admitted that they will never experience what QT is going through because they're not women. That's all we want. All too often, men will invalidate our reality and women are fed up. Especially after Roe was overturned, I have had zero patience catering or attempting to education men on anything regarding gender. We just want to be heard and we want to be left alone.
Just commenting to be another voice in QT’s corner. Thank you for keeping it real. Please remember to be proud of yourself for how you’re not only handling this, but taking it head-on because you felt it’s the right thing to do, even though it’s insanely hard. Remember to be patient with yourself as you work your way back up to where you had been about your body image. You’re one of the coolest fucking people on the internet, QT, and there’s a lot of lurkers like me out there who think that, too. Signed, an AFAB person trying to figure out how to live in a world that treats us like this because of our shape.
This may have been the most engaging episode of Fear& that I’ve watched. Mike was a great guest and it was nice to see him be himself. Also getting more insight into how QT handled the Atrioc situation was so important. Overall great episode, and kudos to making it all free due to the sensitive and important topics you discussed.
qt sharing means so much to me. i’m working through processing my own trauma with disordered eating + harassment etc. in therapy, and it’s been hard to not feel alone. this was a beautiful reminder to keep fighting, and to hold others accountable when it comes to changing stigmas, laws, and overall attitudes towards what all women go through.
It’s annoying that atrioc biggest defenders aren’t fans of him. On his own Reddit everyone is in agreement that what he did was terrible which means all the people saying what he did was fine are just there for the misogyny.
As a Patreon subscriber fatcat with an extra $5 to spend per month I think the majority of us dont feel like there's anything to "make up." If we could raise a certain dollar amount each month to sortof crowdfund the bonus eps on youtube for ppl that can't pay that would be really cool.
1:53:09 oh my, to hear and see QTs genuine excitement from hasanms statement just makes me so happy. parasocial moment, but i get so much gratitude knowing there are positive things happening from the result of a terrible situation, and even happier that its with the people I watch the most online (that being qt and hasan at this moment)
I didn’t know that mike majlak was in recovery. The conversation they had surrounding recovery + harm reduction was great. As someone in recovery as well who has been struggling with chronic relapses after 5 years with no substances, this was a conversation I really needed to hear today.
@@Rosterized I too was addicted to oxys for a decade due to chronic pain/surgeries etc. Just celebrated 6 years off opiates. It is possible! I am fortunate enough to live in Canada, and that definitely helped. I can't fathom the astronomical number of how many people need access to mental health care, jeez, any care in general, not be able to have any resources. I empathize with Mike's story. I'm interested to read his book.
Im 12 minutes in and no idea who Mike is or what he does. Looked him up and then remembered it being mentioned, but can we get an introduction at the beginning of these? Especially if your just listening and not watching on RUclips, you have no idea who the guest may be unless you're familiar with the voice. Not every guest is a common Will or Hasan friend everyone is familiar with. Please and thanks❤️
QT!!!!! So excited she’s back again. I love hearing her take always (please make her official on the podcast I beg you), but I’m especially grateful that she is willing to be as open as she is on topics that were discussed today because her voice is so needed.
I came into this with some assumptions after hearing Mike was known for a connection to the Paul brothers I will admit that. However he really does seem very educated and open about his experiences. I really liked what he had to say.
@@thomasandrewclifford Yeah, he's been... interesting lately. Don't blame you. The episode also has Jeff Wittek and Tana Mongeau or however you spell it lol.
wow, i was one of the people that got a douchebag impression from mike & wasn’t very excited to hear that he was on this episode. but hearing this conversation, ive gained so much respect for him. he’s an incredible person:(❤
Definitely feel a lot for Mike. Been in and out of addiction from age 15 to now (26). The amount of dedication and willpower it takes to not only be clean but make something of yourself is at a level not many will ever know. Super inspiring. Great show keep it up 💯
I basically have the same time frame as you and Im thirty now and I just want you to know it gets better and easier everyday. Quitting is the easy part, living a normal adult life is the hard part but it gets easier over time and eventually you just are a normal adult. I think that’s why I love my peaceful, boring, normal life and job more than most people…I fought for this boredom lmao
Mike is extremely well spoken and articulate. I just added his book to my Amazon cart. I'm excited to read it. Thanks for not paywalling this one. I feel like I have become more educated and aware of the true nature of society/the world than I was before I started watching. This is literally an education, and an important one. This is more valuable than "real" school. Too bad my parents et al. will never recognize that.
I have so much empathy for QT, I can’t imagine how violated I’d feel. She’s so strong for being able to push through and also talk about this publicly! This was a great convo and I’m glad it was published. My only comment is I wish there was another woman’s perspective to speak on this topic. I’d be interested to hear that
QT telling the story about how she vomited up her lunch for the first time in years was honestly super hearbreaking, so i'm really glad to see her doing a lil happy food dance when they talk about burritos later on
I loved this episode. It made me uncomfortable, and I think that is sick as fuck. More people need to be exposed to intelligent people having intense conversations sandwiched with laughs. Its a beautiful way to to improve through content
This is by far the best episode of fear&! Holy shit. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more, I looked at some very specific boobies on Reddit. What a time. But in all seriousness, QT thank you for being you, and for doing the work and speaking out, even though it’s clearly fucked and not easy. I admire your strength and your ability to navigate this space as well as you do. ❤
Holy... I love QT and her content, and I cannot imagine how this feels. Mike is an amazing guy too, and I cannot express enough how much this episode was amazing and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!! I'm gonna sub to the patreon for sure
Single best episode I've seen of this pod. Gained a lot of respect for Mike who've I've only barely have heard of and just as a clingy ass kisser. And great to hear QTs perspective on the situation.
mike talking about addiction and recovery and empathy wow , Will talking about Teeth and insecurity (a huge one i've struggled with), and QT's very real experience made me cry. even with therapy it still can be that hard. she is the strongest fucking person in the world
holy shit I completely misjudged Mike, one of the best episodes hands-down and so heartbreaking to hear all of their experiences with addiction
Fucking same, gained a lot of respect for him
Literally all of hasan’s audience hates dozens of people for no reason
Same I had no idea.
Dudes super chill I had no idea he seriously seemed like just a douche that used to date a pornstar
Mike is a genuinely good dude. He needs to cut off Logan Paul though.
I feel like it’s easy to write Mike off (and I definitely used to) because he looks and sounds like a complete bro but I actually enjoy every interview he’s on. He’s genuinely engaged in the conversation, empathetic and contributes great points.

man
I didnt see her supporting him when he said he got deepfaked without his consent.
Very nice to see Will making another appearance on Hasan and QT’s podcast!
He's been on this podcast a lot I think they're running out of guests
He’s been on like the last 5 episodes. It might be time to retire this joke lol. Peace and love

hearing QT talk about how this effected her is so fucking devastating, like its absolutely horrific the amount of shit shes had to go through as a streamer, especially as a female streamer, and now this happens. I as someone who has struggled with body image issues and someone who has experienced sexual harassment, its so so real having those visceral reactions, and hearing her talk about throwing up her lunch for the first time in years really hit me.

I did think that Deepfake stuff was disgusting and should be prosecuted before, but when QT said that seeing that video made her puke is when it hit me how little of a grasp I have on the consequences.
QT is one of the coolest content creators on the platform, and she deserves all the attention and money she gets and so much more.
I think cause our generation has grown up with the internet we can tell the difference but like QT said her parents can't tell the difference they think it's real
@@dariuswilliams7509 idk even when you can tell the difference, to see it of yourself would be pretty revolting. like uncanny valley and knowing that other people are looking at it without a care in the world to how much it creeps you out would suck
@@dariuswilliams7509 It's not generational. The impact on her life is not fake though, some people will treat like she did it and she had no say in it's creation or distribution or is paid for it. People do have a right to determine how their image is used. If someone started putting my face on random meme shit it can be pretty tough reconciling. But porn has other baggage. She had extended family see the stuff and reach out and we're not told if that was supportive or shitty. And considering her family is very religious, a lot of it could be shitty. That's really awful for something she had no part of and the removal of consent is also a massive problem. It's not about generational divide but more that us guys don't have to think about so many people wanting to see us like that. We have different relationship with it. Like Ludwig said, his balls leaked and it was humorous even if similarly violating but for women, that shit doesn't go away. They have to deal with it all Poppin into their DM's to pop into their business email for it to be sent to relatives and have to field a phone call about it being fake. Ludwig didn't have to deal with that because the baggage is different.

Mike should go out on his own, because he is far more likable when he isn't with Logan. Just in general, I think the guy has been through a lot in his personal life compared to his friends, and has a ton of experiences. Because of this, I think he's able to empathize and see when things are wrong. Unfortunately, he's all in with Logan and has his whole career tied up in his sphere. And because of that he's often thrown into situations where he's having to go along with people doing bad things.
Not making excuses. BUT I just think he would do a lot better if he tried going off on his own, and wasn't dependant on scummy people. I feel like he has enough fans that he could do streaming full time, or just something entertainment based. Because regardless what you think of Mike, he has a personality that clicks with certain people. He's good on camera, and knows how to entertain.
just about everyone he associates with has been exposed for garbage behavior or scamming common folk. I STILL like to think Mike isnt like that....but maybe he does use his charm for bad. Kinda just throws a pity party for himself or associates with scammers. Sucks I used to like him a ton man but you can only see so much before it changes your mind on someone.
He seems much more worldly and grounded in reality than Logan or Jake Paul, both of which seem like the most privliaged, silver spooned man-babies around.
1000% the paul brothers are ran thru , free mike
Mike is more valuable than the sum of his and Logan's parts
Mike isn’t the type of guy to abandone and turn his back on a good friend when they are down and being hated by the world. That’s something a scumbag would do. So no he’s not gonna take ur shit advice
I love how deeply Mike is listening to QT and how supportive he is in empathizing and validating her feelings on the topic
Agreed. All of them did great. I loved that Mike went out of his way to acknowledge that he will never be in the position to fully understand what she is experiencing. Empathy is hard to come by, especially on the internet. I'm glad they did this.

QT's reaction to Hasan saying he was already in contact to talk about making laws for Deep Fake and in talk to AOC was really sweet, I had to go back to watch it. Genuinely appreciation and happiness. I hope everything works out and then after the enterviews and laws, QT go back to do her amazing events and get notice even more so she eventually gets known for her actual work instead of being a victim to a terrible controversy. Thank you so much for not paid walling this conversation, that was really important to hear
This conversation with QT really brings some additional light to Atrioc’s written apology. It was well-written, but it speaks volumes that he lacked initiative to do anything other than apologize to his stream without QT pushing him. It makes the apology feel way less genuine. Like QT said, he NEEDS to pay to clean things up, but even after he does that, he is not owed any forgiveness from these girls (or the audience for that matter)
I was really disappointed to hear that. I really thought he was taking those steps on his own accord.
@@TheForestFamily yeah me too. It really makes the apology fall flat imo. At this point all he can really do is take action to better things as much as possible, but until then I think his word alone has pretty much lost credibility to me
Yeah I thought he took the initiative to pay for it or that he apologized to the people before to the stream. Marketing L for sure
Meh it is obvious that he panicked and hindsight is always 20/20. I must say tho if QT had just forgiven him like nothing had even happened (like when xQc insulted and harassed her live in front of 70k viewers) I would've been disappointed af.
Atriac doesn't deserve her friendship after doing what he did, in fact I don't think he deserves ANY streamer friendships from this point forward.
@@Johan-di6md get a life dude. you don't know any of these people and not even his side of the story, so don't be that quick to judge. you obviously don't know what friendship means lol
qt is so strong and it makes me so happy to see a group of men surrounding her and LISTENING and being KIND to her and letting her tell HER story. none talking over her. none telling her what she should think. it is all her. great group of men and an OUTSTANDING woman. this is such a good example of how people should treat each other.
When QT said she saw the video and then immediately went to throw up her lunch… that statement alone is so damn heartbreaking. Too many people who don’t have any first or second hand experience with things like dysmorphia, eating disorders, etc won’t recognize or understand how severe that really is.
I want to really thank QT for her perspective here. As a dude, I was having trouble understanding the situation(which is why i didn't comment when my friends discussed it) and having the opportunity to hear what went on from her side and the affect on her....damn like that just fucking sucks. I really hope talking about it and being open can lead to real change and laws to help the situation. Like....damn.

I haven’t gotten to that part yet but I 1000% was educated by this fiasco.
I commonly would search “only fans leaks” which lead to deepfakes and would commonly seek out deepfake content.
When this ordeal started it opened my eyes up to reality and now I just can’t lol.
I mean he is the only one in that room with actual power to make it happened. It would've been wrong of him to not try.
@@Johan-di6md you know you don't have to actively undermine good deeds, right? You can just not do that
These guys creating such a safe space for QT to speak freely and be vulnerable, especially as the only girl in the room, is so beautiful to see. No one talking over her or undermining her experience, just listening to her and showing love. Also her face when Hasan mentioned that he’s already in touch with AOC about this situation and passing legislation was so heartbreaking, but also heart warming, you can see how much someone taking this shit really seriously and being proactive about this means to her. I loved this episode and I’d love to see these four in future episodes. Such a cool dynamic. And love how it’s a serious convo but they’re still making each other laugh.
Mike is a lot smarter and cooler when he is on his own vs. just being Logan Paul's yes man. I also had no idea about his mental health and addiction struggles. He has a lot of empathy and insight and I feel like he usually doesn't have a platform to share that side of him (which he even addresses in the episode).
Agreed, he won me over on the BFFFs he did with Tana and Jeff.
i was wondering where ive seen this guy before...
i really like to think Mike isnt involved with all these scams that are always happening with EVERYONE he is associated with. I still hold out hope for Mike but i guess its hard to defend him. Bleh
It feels Like Logan actually holds him back as opposed to helping him succeed. He’s always having to put up with Logan’s shit and live in his shadow, but if everyone got to see this side of him I feel like they would see how much more genuine of a guy he is compared to Logan 🤷🏼♂️
Pity that he is a friend with that scammer and his yesman, I kinda do not get it, it makes me doubt him and hard to believe he does not care only about money and clout
This actually feels like the first time I've heard somebody talk about the impact this kind of sexualisation has had on their body image issues so directly and honestly. Having struggled with an eating disorder in the past I have had trouble realising why sexual harassment and objectifying comments have had such a negative impact on my recovery. I realised that when people treat me or my body as an object, it sets me back years of recovery, of telling myself that I am more than my body, that people see me as more than that and that my worth is not determined by it. QT talking about that effect so openly makes me wish that more people can understand how that objectification can hurt so deeply and I genuinely hope she and everybody else affected by this situation can heal. ❤

Shoutout to QT. She’s such an amazing woman for talking about the things she’s going through. Like truly I think that will change some minds who are unsure about the situation. Definitely an illuminating testimony. Would love her to be permanent host. Also Will out here asking REALLY good questions. I too had some preconceived notions about Mike bc he is around Logan and this definitely showed how much of an empathetic raw person he is. Lovely episode. Lovely people. 👍
I'm a huge fan of QT and Atrioc and I'm glad she addressed how she was handling everything. The fact that it feels like she's was doing all his PR for him is insanity and I'm glad she set her boundaries and hope she heals from this and helps bring change with the interviews she's going to do and hopefully bring the situation to a close. All the love for her and the girls that got exposed to this because of the wildfire of the tragedy.
Thank you QT for opening up about disordered eating. ❤
I had no idea she struggled with that before this ep, but it means so much to hear about her experience as someone who has also struggled for most of their life with an ED. I’m so glad she is using her voice to talk about these very important things when she doesn’t have to, and in fact, it’s extremely hard to talk about. I’m so glad she was part of this podcast ep
That's the part that really got to me too, I just can't imagine how triggering seeing those videos and pictures was. Seeing a fake "perfect you" in deep fake porn.....I know my disorderd ass wouldn't be able to handle it 😭 she's so strong
God I really do feel for QT, I already struggle with disorderd eating/purging and I can't imagine how seeing myself having a perfect body in deep fake porn would affect me, like that's so incredibly triggering. I hope she heals from this :( sending love her way
from Atrioc's twitlonger apology I assumed that QT was helping out with suggestions for restitution but dang she REALLY had to hold his hand through that one, huh.
It's illuminating to discover that the things I appreciated most about his second apology (paying legal fees, working with the law firms, etc) were all because QT did the heavy lifting in providing him with actionable solutions.
Honestly, thanks for being open about how those conversations went down. QT deserves so much credit for her handling of this awful situation.
I don’t think that should be a big negative for Atrioc though. He asked someone what he should do like he should’ve because QT has way more knowledge about this than him and he agreed to take those actions. Still a good set of actionable steps for him even if he didn’t come up with them
@@xeonbladev18 You’re right that it’s good he plans to take the action steps and that is something. But at the same time, it also didn’t sound like he necessarily approached QT from a place of looking for her direction on steps to take but instead she just sorta laid them out for him out of frustration.
It also makes me re-think his authenticity because his apology came off as if those steps were from him and showed how sincere/serious he was about taking responsibility but now we know QT had to prompt them and he didn’t even give her credit for the guidance.
@@LiveOutLoud321 I can agree to that mostly. Maybe I’m just slightly leaning towards it still being a good thing he asked someone directly affected on how he should handle this. He did seem genuinely sorry to me but just needed guidance from a women directly involved. It makes sense why’s she’s frustrated obviously especially considering they were really close friends so I get where you’re coming from too. But I still see it as an overall good response from him with actionable steps which is so rare to begin with too. But of course I don’t know any of these people and my opinion means nothing compared to theirs.
Asking for advice from those directly harmed by this seems like a good thing from my irrelevant perspective
Atrioc was probably the person whose content I was consuming the most up until this happened. I am extremely disappointed, and obviously he did something really disgusting here. While deepfakes are the latest trend, a LOT of people consumed the very real hacked nudes of celebrities and content creators in the iCloud leaks a few years ago (many did so openly and voraciously), and didn't quite realize the harm it was doing to those people because they consider them celebrities and "it comes with the territory", similar to the narrative that some ignorant people are levying about the deepfake stuff too. And after the public discourse shifted toward how much of a violation it is, people were able to change their opinions on the matter.
Now, I can't truly know how QT or anyone else is going to be impacted either short- or long-term by this deepfake situation, but it does have some parallels. I do believe that Atrioc does feel like a piece of shit for this, maybe exclusively as a result of being told how bad it is by people, maybe of his own volition, but I do find it mildly disappointing that the takeaway from him trying to take QT's advice as to what path to take to start making things the slightest bit better is that the damage is irreparable. I believe forgiveness should be an option (and she does sort of open the window for "maybe down the line i will feel differently"), and to say he can't be helped while he's doing exactly what I ask of him feels... tough. It's hard to know exactly what to do, and it's hard to know exactly what the women impacted will want you to do. I still have difficulty when trying to decide how far someone has to go with something before you should never give them a chance to grow and change and make amends. If he denied his actions, if he tried to pretend like it didn't happen, if he wasn't trying to make some sort of steps to repair some of the damage, it would be an easy "bye forever" type of situation, but I find it frustrating when people rush to cancel people forever for every poor decision that happens.
The whole situation is just extremely disappointing and maddening, but because Atrioc was the one to have brought it to the public, in some ways he's being treated like the person who is creating the deepfakes. Yes, there are extreme problems with the concept of how you view women if you choose to consume this type of media. Yes, not taking the time to think about the impact of your live apology and potentially platforming it further is an extreme fuckup. But overall at least the dude seems to be willing to accept the blame. That's more than you can say for a large number of people who do awful things. I would be shocked if if none of the people currently decrying atrioc as unforgivable have never either searched or looked at hacked/leaked nudes of a celebrity. People treated that thing extremely commonplace for a long time. It really is hard to form an opinion on anyone's actions without the benefit of time passing. I'm just sad, overall.

loving what QT brings to the table, she's an amazing co-host ❤️
the conversations about substance use disorder, recovery, family support, and resources made me tear up. These somewhat small conversations are super important to reduce the stigma of substance use disorder.
As someone who also only knew Mike through his proximity to Logan Paul, this was one of the most heartfelt and amazing podcast episodes so far. To see what a genuine and thoughtful person he is and the conversations that came from that was something incredible.
QT briefly hit on a point that women don't have the option to not be sexualized; they're either forced to make porn of themselves to profit, or have porn made of them without their consent
like 0.01% of women sure
qt is the coolest. shes such a role model for me
QTs bulimia incident brought me back to 19 year old me. I can’t believe I used to do that to myself. I’m 30 and I’ve also had those situational relapses after something traumatic happens. Crazy, I’m proud of her for taking on those interviews. What a legend
Will's a master at allowing levity then bringing things back to earth. What a good pod
The "grammy weekend" after QT and Will shared how they lost their relatives had me laughing for like a minute straight
What QT said about her reaction to seeing herself like that needs to be heard by the masses.
I’m such a politics frog. I understand why they don’t do a political podcast but it’s so much fun to hear guests talk abt politics when they traditionally don’t
absolutely its so fun to hear people talk politics who they usually dont. it feels so much more authentic and lighthearted bc its not like political nerds having a dick measuring contest
@@blowfishfootman yes!! you get it
i dont know why hasan doesnt make it his niche, i know most guests wont, but i feel like they are a million other podcasts where "content creators talk about their life, and there are 0 where some random youtuber can speak his mind on complicated topics with someone more knowledgeable but also isnt out to get them canceled. i feel like thats such a bigger vertical for growth rather than just another pod with guests
Yeah, I love hearing normies talk about politics, it lets me better understand the people around me instead of judging them in the moment and creating tension
It’s interesting too that because it’s not a live broadcast, the guest is not as tense about discussing certain topics which ends up making for a more intriguing conversation
QT is the angry mum that the streaming space needs. She shouldn't fucking have to be, but she is and she is a hero for going to bat on behalf of women in the space.
I appreciate how the 3 men in this conversation held themselves. They asked questions, listened and admitted that they will never experience what QT is going through because they're not women. That's all we want. All too often, men will invalidate our reality and women are fed up. Especially after Roe was overturned, I have had zero patience catering or attempting to education men on anything regarding gender. We just want to be heard and we want to be left alone.
Who knew this ep was going to be so f*cking insightful, thanks so much y'all 🖤
I teared up multiple times during this episode. What a great conversation to listen to
Just commenting to be another voice in QT’s corner. Thank you for keeping it real. Please remember to be proud of yourself for how you’re not only handling this, but taking it head-on because you felt it’s the right thing to do, even though it’s insanely hard. Remember to be patient with yourself as you work your way back up to where you had been about your body image.

This may have been the most engaging episode of Fear& that I’ve watched. Mike was a great guest and it was nice to see him be himself. Also getting more insight into how QT handled the Atrioc situation was so important. Overall great episode, and kudos to making it all free due to the sensitive and important topics you discussed.
Second half of the podcast was amazing (specifically when QT walked in).
qt sharing means so much to me. i’m working through processing my own trauma with disordered eating + harassment etc. in therapy, and it’s been hard to not feel alone. this was a beautiful reminder to keep fighting, and to hold others accountable when it comes to changing stigmas, laws, and overall attitudes towards what all women go through.
It’s annoying that atrioc biggest defenders aren’t fans of him. On his own Reddit everyone is in agreement that what he did was terrible which means all the people saying what he did was fine are just there for the misogyny.
bruh this Mike guy sucks at first impressions, glad I watched the whole way through lmao
As a Patreon subscriber fatcat with an extra $5 to spend per month I think the majority of us dont feel like there's anything to "make up."

damn thats a cool idea. like gifted subs for Patreon but a pool of money. Nice one.
More Will Neff please
1:53:09 oh my, to hear and see QTs genuine excitement from hasanms statement just makes me so happy. parasocial moment, but i get so much gratitude knowing there are positive things happening from the result of a terrible situation, and even happier that its with the people I watch the most online (that being qt and hasan at this moment)
I didn’t know that mike majlak was in recovery. The conversation they had surrounding recovery + harm reduction was great. As someone in recovery as well who has been struggling with chronic relapses after 5 years with no substances, this was a conversation I really needed to hear today.
Solidarity
I am proud of you.
you got this shit man, we’re all proud of you
thank you, that means a lot to me. keep being kind to strangers < 3
he was an addict for 10+ years, its pretty incredible he made it out from it
@@Rosterized I too was addicted to oxys for a decade due to chronic pain/surgeries etc. Just celebrated 6 years off opiates. It is possible! I am fortunate enough to live in Canada, and that definitely helped. I can't fathom the astronomical number of how many people need access to mental health care, jeez, any care in general, not be able to have any resources. I empathize with Mike's story. I'm interested to read his book.
Whats fun about this podcast is the guest combos no one could possibly guess
Im 12 minutes in and no idea who Mike is or what he does. Looked him up and then remembered it being mentioned, but can we get an introduction at the beginning of these? Especially if your just listening and not watching on RUclips, you have no idea who the guest may be unless you're familiar with the voice. Not every guest is a common Will or Hasan friend everyone is familiar with. Please and thanks❤️
Great point.
Will is so good at having conversations with people. I adore him.
QT!!!!! So excited she’s back again. I love hearing her take always (please make her official on the podcast I beg you), but I’m especially grateful that she is willing to be as open as she is on topics that were discussed today because her voice is so needed.
I’m 4 days clean and sober currently, this was so important to me to hear today
Keep it up
Good job! Keep going
I hope you are still hanging in there.
Keep it up you'll be better soon
Always been a fan of Mike, always been a fan of Hasan, always been a fan of QT, always been a fan of Will. This collab was unreal.
I came into this with some assumptions after hearing Mike was known for a connection to the Paul brothers I will admit that. However he really does seem very educated and open about his experiences. I really liked what he had to say.
Check him out on the H3 podcast episode "BFFFs'.
@@ebdgr One day I will check out H3 podcast. Recently though every clip i've seen has put be off.
@@thomasandrewclifford Yeah, he's been... interesting lately. Don't blame you. The episode also has Jeff Wittek and Tana Mongeau or however you spell it lol.
My heart goes out to QT and Mike on this one
Thanks for having these difficult yet important conversations on this platform! ❤
wow, i was one of the people that got a douchebag impression from mike & wasn’t very excited to hear that he was on this episode. but hearing this conversation, ive gained so much respect for him. he’s an incredible person:(❤
My hope for the internet is that we eventually won't need these kind of conversations in the near (enough) future
I hope you're doing well, QT 💜
There’s always gonna be scum out the unfortunately
@@mrtrick8805
Yeahhh I know, but I'm *trying* to be optimistic, even though nothing will change for a long time
Definitely feel a lot for Mike. Been in and out of addiction from age 15 to now (26). The amount of dedication and willpower it takes to not only be clean but make something of yourself is at a level not many will ever know. Super inspiring. Great show keep it up 💯
I basically have the same time frame as you and Im thirty now and I just want you to know it gets better and easier everyday. Quitting is the easy part, living a normal adult life is the hard part but it gets easier over time and eventually you just are a normal adult. I think that’s why I love my peaceful, boring, normal life and job more than most people…I fought for this boredom lmao
Thank you for not paywalling QT's response, it's nice to gain some understanding out of all this
Mike is extremely well spoken and articulate. I just added his book to my Amazon cart. I'm excited to read it. Thanks for not paywalling this one. I feel like I have become more educated and aware of the true nature of society/the world than I was before I started watching. This is literally an education, and an important one. This is more valuable than "real" school. Too bad my parents et al. will never recognize that.
People calling QT a narcissist for "making it about her" like she wasn't on the damn website??? Make it make sense
I have so much empathy for QT, I can’t imagine how violated I’d feel. She’s so strong for being able to push through and also talk about this publicly! This was a great convo and I’m glad it was published. My only comment is I wish there was another woman’s perspective to speak on this topic. I’d be interested to hear that
QT Hype
QT starts telling her story, and immediately gets cut off before she finishes talking. Come on
i would die for qt.
QT telling the story about how she vomited up her lunch for the first time in years was honestly super hearbreaking, so i'm really glad to see her doing a lil happy food dance when they talk about burritos later on
Loved this ep!! Yes Mike can be bro-ey sometimes but he's very smart & articulate & him standing up to shake QTs hand to introduce himself was 👌🏽😍😍😍
I loved this episode. It made me uncomfortable, and I think that is sick as fuck. More people need to be exposed to intelligent people having intense conversations sandwiched with laughs. Its a beautiful way to to improve through content
I'll be honest i didn't understand the problem with the deepfakes. After listening to this podcast I finally understand. Thanks for putting this out
This is by far the best episode of fear&! Holy shit. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more, I looked at some very specific boobies on Reddit. What a time.
But in all seriousness, QT thank you for being you, and for doing the work and speaking out, even though it’s clearly fucked and not easy. I admire your strength and your ability to navigate this space as well as you do. ❤
Every new clip I see of QT makes me like her more and more. She kicks ass
Holy... I love QT and her content, and I cannot imagine how this feels. Mike is an amazing guy too, and I cannot express enough how much this episode was amazing and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!! I'm gonna sub to the patreon for sure
HOLY 2-HOUR PODCAST, BATMAN
Single best episode I've seen of this pod. Gained a lot of respect for Mike who've I've only barely have heard of and just as a clingy ass kisser. And great to hear QTs perspective on the situation.
"do you like sandwiches" hahaha fuckin QT
saw a clip, came to see the full thing, very glad you guys decided to show this publicly, big respect for that!
mike talking about addiction and recovery and empathy wow , Will talking about Teeth and insecurity (a huge one i've struggled with), and QT's very real experience made me cry. even with therapy it still can be that hard. she is the strongest fucking person in the world
the production on this pod is so bad, the angles, the switches, lighting, and audio
also the table and position of everyone
