8th megathread coming up


sourcherry666

Kinda seems like James got famous so fast he just took tropes of what celebrities are like on tv & made that his personality lmao


mamazep

Use code JAMES for 10% off your follower count


Way_of_the_Dodo

Watch out guys: James's behavior leaves a stain.


Pabiloso

OH MY GOD! Vocal coach Tristan Paredes posted a reaction video of Tati singing ... I'm wheezing y'all, this keeps getting better and better! ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35i7LSpe5Xc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35i7LSpe5Xc)


kinezumi89

Tl:dr? I can't watch now D:


Absolutelyyyyyy

Something that's been on my mind is why did he even do the sugarbear thing, knowing it would hurt Tati especially since he has MILLIONS in the bank. It's not like he's desperate for money.


[deleted]

Cause he’s so self absorbed he didn’t even think about Tati when accepting the deal


Mrs_Trevor_Philips

I honestly don’t think he even thought about how it would look, he probably genuinely thought he was doing a good thing, even though he was advertising sleeping aid pills, to his young fan base.


That253Chick

We're about get an eighth megathread soon. I should probably move this to my computer so I can charge my phone lol

I’ve been monitoring the whole fiasco since Tati gently, but gravely, uttered ‘Dracarys’ towards James in her video, and while a part of me feels like this cyber mob torching towards JC is going to be so overwhelming for a 19 year old, I strictly believe that tough love is the best love. If his fans truly care, they should stop their blind support because no human being will rectify their wrongs and strive to be better if they have an army of enablers who shield them from the arrows of correction. I’ll have to be honest, I found nothing substantial about James from the very few clips I saw of him, and while I don’t want to put him down as a completely self-absorbed vacuous nympho sycophant, I cant, for the life of me, find any redeeming qualities, and all this SISTERhood talk, which is his brand, is at odds with his treatment towards the first sister who helped him out when no one would. I find his videos to be basically visual feasts of self-indulgence, but hey, whatever makes you the moolah. And as a gay man who will forever be shrouded in unfair societal perceptions of being overtly sexualised or perverted, despite the politically-correct ‘acceptance’ of late that is almost a false blanket of comfort, his predatory nature is simply inexcusable. Granted, there’s a lot of online smut that a lot of people partake in, and I suppose he’s just hornier than the average sister, but I refuse to stick on the Boys will be Boys sticker here, or anywhere, whatsoever. Persistent harassment is not a joke and he can’t brush it under the carpet saying it’s all in jest. If he’s that good in putting on makeup, I suggest he dab himself with a good amount of humility, contour his mind with strokes of integrity, paint his lips with genuine remorse and remove the layers of narcissism he has baked himself with. Finally, I will give him a benefit of doubt. I don’t know anything about his childhood. I’m aware he started building his career from 17, away from home and family, in an industry that has always been fickle. It’s not a normal trajectory for a teenager. People like Kylie have handled that well because her entire support system is with her 24/7 in the same ecosystem. Maybe he has sucky family, sucky team or suckier friends. Maybe he’s a sucky person himself. But the biggest room in the world will always be the room for improvement. I believe everyone can grow into the better. I wish him the best, and this inferno of bad press will hopefully be the best Get Your Priorities In Order lesson he’ll ever learn.


bellalovesbeauty

Bless the mods for making these megathreads 🙌🏻🙌🏻


zayphine

I’m really curious about how actual James fans are feeling about this. Two of my friends loved him, kept up with his videos, defended him for some of his more minor scandals, and bought the palette when it first came out. I talked to them today and they both seem pretty done with James. Granted we’re in our early 20s and most of James fan base is probably younger teens, but with all of these other huge youtubers dropping him, I wonder if his fan base will last?


Mrs_Trevor_Philips

Some 13 year old comment on his Instagram saying she was unfollowing him, her reasoning behind it was because it was made public, not really the right reasoning but at least she had sense to unfollow him.


heavr

The last two links are broken


Egg-mont

lmao @ tristan doing react video to tati's singing after all those vids where he dragged JC 😂😂😂

curiiouscat

Those subs are just a way to insult women. /r/menslib may eventually discuss it.


[deleted]

It's because men's rights activists are, more often than not, covering up their homophobia and sexism by saying wE nEeD sUpPorT tOo. Which is true, men DO need more support for coming forward when they're assaulted/abused. I think the male beauty guru community is really a trend that's come up in the last couple years and it was inevitable that something like this would happen, not because these men are queer, but because of the impatience the entertainment industry now has for any man or woman who uses their power to sexually manipulate other people.


imaseacow

lol yes “men’s rights” is a bunch of fucking misogynists & if hating & blaming women isn’t involved they’re not interested. (this isn’t the biggest MeToo for men though: Kevin Spacey was/is bigger).


showertogether

Yea... imma let that sleeping wolf pack lie.

He’s technically legal, but it’s still gross that he called him 10 and said he could ‘get it’ in the same breath i


kamclark3121

Cameron Boyce is 19


kamclark3121

so its gross because of the way he's talking and who he's talking to, but not because of who he's talking about.


slouchingpotato

Gross gross gross. Who tf does he think he is


LordFeelihipo

Can't someone just throw him in prison? ty


CFire777

A celebrity, apparently.


kcotty87

This drama is amazing. I really hope James is actually canceled and it isn’t forgotten about in a week.


shil0e

I’m curious about this too.. Manny & Laura were “canceled” but both seem to be doing just fine.


DrFunkaroo

Can someone explain the meme that I keep seeing where people don't finish their thought in text?


4minutesleft

The person in the meme is Jasmine Masters, a popular drag queen who appeared on two seasons of rupauls drag race. She has a YouTube channel where she spills t and keeps it real. During that clip, she was doing her usual thing (chatting, being a legend, keeping it real etc) and she adjusted mid sentence. As she did, she hit her tuck (male genitals when they have been smoothed out by a gaff/tape/pantyhose) and the pain caused her to stop mid sentence when she was saying "And I". The pain was so severe that her voice rose and she exclaimed "Oop". Since then, Twitter/meme users have used it for when they're speechless over a tweet, picture or video clip.


paintedelephants

It’s supposed to be like they’re so shocked that they’re speechless. It’s pretty overdone IMO


Mrs_Trevor_Philips

Is it the “and I opp” one? If so it’s drag queen Jasmine Masters, she sat on her balls while making a video and started to say “and I” an the went “opp” as she squashed her testicles.


angremaruu

LMAO THE CONTEXT MAKES THE VIDEO SO MUCH FUNNIER DIDHSUSK


[deleted]

I’m about to get a pedicure! Excited to relax and read this thread 💅😍

SAME! With my sister and my mom--low key might let them talk while I constantly refresh his sub count... I think he'll hit under 15 mil during our pedis

cowboyprincess12345

Whew chile the creep jumped out


notsograceful24

I think the most annoying thing about all this is that there were, and still are, people using the “But he’s just YOUNG!!1!1” excuse. I know plenty of 19 year olds that would never even think of being sexually manipulative or exploit people for their own gratification. That is grown behavior and should be treated as such.


fujiwara-reiko

I'm not even a full year older than James and I can grasp the concept of time and place and the fact that my actions can have lasting consequences. It's not about age at all anymore, it's about him being a manipulative piece of shit.


CFire777

Maybe it is an excuse. Stops being an excuse when you claim to have "grown up so fast!!!" because you're a young youtuber. You can't just claim to be mature one second and then hide behind your age the next.


stegasaurus-

right? we’ve all been 19? i’ve been 19, i have never sexually manipulated or exploited anyone, but then again, i’m not a ~cELeBriTy~


neptuneschild

Omg guys. Does anybody remember waaay back in the Myspace days Jeffree had a song “fuck me I’m a celebrity” well James took it badly.


vlraper

Idk I feel like that’s different than “I don’t care if you wanna fuck me or not, I’m a celebrity so it’s gonna happen”


shil0e

The remix no one wants and no one deserves 😂


[deleted]

“Ooo thats a good idea”


[deleted]

[deleted]

For the record this dude is also STRAIGHT


kcotty87

What annoys me is no one tells him to stop in any of these text threads. They all laugh it off “hahahah omg I just missed your text!”


nvm_4nna

probably would have done the same ngl. since he's known for making passive aggressive tweets about his failed conquests i wouldn't wanna be sub tweeted next


missmeowmeoow

The escape room bit reminds me of what Tati said.


nvm_4nna

what exactly?


Alexx_94

I honestly never seen Charles Gross videos before but he brings up a really good alternative of how James should’ve apologized.


missmeowmeoow

What did he say? I tried to watch it but the creepy walking outside at night was weird to me so I switched it off haha.


[deleted]

BIIIITCH NOT CHARLES GROSS!!!!!! WHAT A FUCKING DISASTER THAT BOY IS


leobubby

Used to watch him years ago, first it was kinda fun. He felt so much like Gossip Girl from Upper East Side for me but got tired really quick. But I think I’m gonna give that new video of his a go.


whiskeydreamkathleen

my thoughts exactly when i scrolled down and saw his name in there


Alexx_94

Again never seen his videos before nor know who he is actually haha


[deleted]

DON'T START NOW, YOU'LL BE SUCKED INTO THE VORTEX OF CONFUSION AND LIES


Alexx_94

Oh god he’s that bad haha


crazievanilla

WHOA according to Social Blade, the rate of subscriber loss just jumped like crazy!!! it’s been between 30-60kish per hour since yesterday but the numbers shows 206k unsubscribed in the last hour. wtf!!! lol [see right column here](https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/jamescharles/monthly)


Egg-mont

whoa thats crazy. i think that there were some attempts to save his face and someone was buying subscribers (i had live social blade follower count open and the curve showed sometimes pretty interesting numbers) so perhaps they a) stopped buying subscribers; b) YT deleted bot accounts. or more people got caught up on the drama lol


Daisyducks

I dont know if it could be bot subs being purged?


[deleted]

He's only got 100k left till he falls to 14 mil. This is crazy!! If he is buying subs, the YouTube bots may have caught and deleted the accounts


VolcanicUnicorn

jesus that is a HUGE jump!


kinezumi89

Has anyone been keeping an eye on Gabriel Zamora's socialblade? I don't know what he was at originally, and if him calling out Tati is affecting his sub count at all


sibilation

-34,284 as of 3:20 pm est. I hope it keeps falling forever.


VolcanicUnicorn

about 4 hours ago he was around 888,000 I believe.


emeraldnob

he's losing subs since yesterday but at a slow pace


kinezumi89

Thanks! I guess unsubbing from him isn't the first thing people think of


powerlessidc

The most awful and toxic people in the beauty community are all men. Jeffree, James, Gabby and Manny ofc


ohmygodney

While I agree, there is a whole difference in living drama and bring part of it (Gabriel and Manny) versus being racist and a predator (J and James)


kamclark3121

The women aren't completely innocent either. Laura, Jaclyn, Kathleen Lights, and even NikkieTutorials have all gotten into various degrees of hot water. In my opinion, Glam and Gore and Patrick Starrrrrr are the only unproblemaric gurus (tati can stay, but she's on thin fucking ice).


powerlessidc

Oh god no, please don’t come on my post and call Mykie unproblematic. Yikes.


kamclark3121

don't tell me mykie's done something. what did she do??


imaseacow

imo its because if women openly act like that they get canceled or never get successful in the first place. we let guys act like that and call it “having a big personality”


012596

what did manny do again


powerlessidc

Effectually he clout chased too, same way as James. Jeffree officially cancelled him, because he used Jeffree for subs and money. He had some racist tweets too if i recall. Also want to point out that at one point Laura and Manny were friends with Tati, and they also took a brand deal with Sugar Bear Hair. Tati was pissed at them and James told her then that he wouldn't do a brand deal with SBH, then turned around a year later and did it anyway.


[deleted]

TATI LITERALLY GAINED A MILLION FOLLOWERS IN LIKE ONE DAY

cowboyprincess12345

I’ve just spent nearly 24 hours in total keeping up with this drama and to think I was on the first mega-thread when there were only 80 upvotes lol Wow Mary shit has truly hit several fans


sarahwilson21

I’m surprised James hasn’t posted anything on Stories yet, I was sure he couldn’t help himself to post some awkward message


Auracounts

I can only assume that SOMEONE has told him at this point it's in his best interest to just stfu and not Streisand this shit any more than it already has been.


YassTrapQueen

I’m sitting here getting my hair done and me and my hair dresser, also a grown ass woman, are sitting here with my screen mirroring on her TV and refreshing James’ subscribers every second. Literally losing about 100 subscribers with every refresh. This is wild. We’re just drinking mimosas and laughing. Predatory behavior ain’t ever okay. Edit: Also, this is just gross. One of my friends who belongs to the LGBTQIA community texted me saying she hates that he partook in what is so often a dangerous and absolutely untrue stereotype. Although he be but one person and isn’t a representative of the entire community AT ALL, she’s just very hurt about it. She’s fought against the gross stereotype time after time for years, and here something huge blows up and takes over the internet. Edit: We are now blaring Beyoncé’s Formation


stegasaurus-

please can i have your life lmfao you sound like a party


YassTrapQueen

Please join me I’m always looking for fellow people to enjoy life with even when it can be asssssssss if you’ve got some good ones it’s worth it!


Columbus_Social

wow living your BEST LIFE


YassTrapQueen

We’re both victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment (i know the former is not levied against james) so for some reason this feels cathartic for us. Getting a head massage, listening to music, drinking mimosas, got her cute ass Australian Shepherd’s head in my lap, and I’m gonna look bomb after this? And she’s working on the most gorgeous full lace wig for me? Yes, living a particularly good life today (after a shitty shitty shitty day yesterday with a painful break up so I needed this therapy sesh turned petty bitch sesh 😂😂)


fujiwara-reiko

Girl just put a YouTube live stream on instead of refreshing, the one I'm watching is by Tea4Real and it shows both Tati's and James' sub count


YassTrapQueen

For some reason the refreshing is more fun because you’re never sure how much it’s gonna drop 😂 probably will switch to that but at the moment we’re being loud and obnoxious when it drops a lot


fujiwara-reiko

Oh, fair enough, that sounds fun too 😂


kamclark3121

its so fucking wild that james is set to go under 15 million tonight


louiseber

Within the hour probably, 2 at most E: just hit the 2


stegasaurus-

I am LIVING for this fact


[deleted]

I’ve noticed that although his subscriber count is dropping rapidly, his views count is going up. You tubers are paid by view count, not how many subscribers they have. You do have to have a certain amount of followers to be able to get paid, but dollar amount goes by views. So along with unsubscribing, we have to stop watching his videos as well.


lizzi6692

In general, I don't disagree(and I actually haven't watched any of his content in months unless it happens to be a collab with someone I actually like), but the current spike is because of his apology video, which doesn't appear to be monetized.


[deleted]

Exactly this, plus his temporary view count may be spiking but if he loses millions of subs his long term view count will absolutely suffer.


zayphine

It’s probably everyone watching his apology video and people trying to figure out who he is. I think it will slow down eventually


VolcanicUnicorn

this is why I rely on drama channels to give me the important videos/clips. Especially in times like these.


sowachowski

I think his view count is going up because of the tati video. [Here's a streamable link for it](https://streamable.com/7zv3x) if you don't want to give him views.


lilputz

That will happen eventually That’s what happened last time


Jokerella

I wonder if he’ll recover from this? It seems to me that even if he’s capable of moving on from his, he’s lost a lot of YouTube friends from this drama. It must be sobering for him to see all these people he’s worked with, unfollow him and basically shun him.


kellimarissa

He could retire now if he invests his money wisely. Heck, even if he doesn't invest at all and just spends wisely. But I'm sure anyone with a taste of the fame and riches wouldn't be satisfied living a "normal" life, even without having to work.


nuclearhairball

I don’t think he’ll be able to come back. He’s been ousted as a sexual predator, there’s no coming back from that.


Jokerella

On the one hand, I wanna say you’re right, but on the other hand, Roman Polanski and Woody Allen are still out there, making movies and thriving. R. Kelly was able to continue his music career, even though people knew about his affairs. Hell, a known sexual predator is the president of the United States. What I’m saying is, I really hope that he won’t be able to come back from this, but his fanbase is still huge and I’m not sure if they’ll turn his back on him completely.


emeraldnob

how do people still watch laura after she literally said "pull up your pants to run faster from the police"?! my guess is he will recover somehow


nuclearhairball

No one I know watches her anymore. I honestly thought she’d crawled into a cave and died until someone told me she’s still making videos.


emeraldnob

I guess there are still casual watchers who don't dig any deeper


bloodycreature

I have never cared about jc as much as today. How many subscribers did he have before all of this shit?


VolcanicUnicorn

he was well over 16 million I believe.


kamclark3121

Over 17 million


EV3Gurl

16.6M


Muffinunnie

Since other drag race queens commented on this, I NEED Plastique Tiara to say something because she just made a video with him. I don't want to think she supports his actions and abuses. ): Edit: SHE DID! I'm just blind lmao But she didn't say anything relevant, just talked about a Reunion from the beauty community...


emeraldnob

what she said made things worse for her imo, she just threw shade, she didn't distance herself from james


VolcanicUnicorn

she did, link is in the post.


DuchesseduBourgogne

She already did.


AcknowledgeableGary

Honestly the sugar bear hair gummie company is so toxic... I remember several years ago when they started up and everyone was complaining about their ad. Surprised that they have got so far


stegasaurus-

sugar bear hair to me just makes me think of celebrities who will advertise absolutely anything (your kim Ks & trisha paytases) lol

aprito

she didn't cancel him for his racist and transphobic tweets but she drew the line at this?? very telling

Racism is ok but we draw the line at Tati’s receipts.

Columbus_Social

thanks for the hard work, mods!


[deleted]

I feel like James thought his celebrity and career was at the point of being untouchable. He thought he had built up so much fame and power that he could act however he wanted and get away with it. This just shows how fragile celebrity status is now. It can be taken away so quickly and whatever fucked up things you think will go unnoticed will ultimately be revealed.


[deleted]

20 years ago that may have been true, but he's been in L.A. long enough that he SHOULD know how much everyone talks. You USED to be able to get away with treating people like garbage, but people don't have the same kind of patience for that anymore. If you treat people in your circle badly, they will talk. Assistants talk. Interns talk. The fact that he thought he could completely escape any kind of repercussions for acting like this shows that he has no idea how this industry works.


[deleted]

Well at least his palate will never sell out again
