I'm an 80's baby. I grew up _alongside_ the internet. I still remember the sound of my 56k dial-up handshake. Kids don't belong on social media. They'd be better off with the goriest video games over Twitter or Insta.
As someone with autism i can say that theres a lot of people who just want to fit in somewhere, unfortunately autistic people tend to force themselves into these groups by changing their own personalities but it doesn't last and eventually they all can't handle playing the part anymore making them very depressed
Hooray for identity disorders. It’s pretty rough when you think masking is *you* and that incongruence eats you alive (closeting etc does it too any *I have to fake being X person to survive* is going to fuck you up long term)
2:26 TAYLOR LMAOO Another pov on modern day bullying, I graduated from a very blue collar republican conservative hs and when I was 16 I accepted that I was gay. While I didn’t really care bc those people weren’t my friends, I never knew when I would receive a text with a new rumor about girls I had “hooked up” with. Meanwhile, I didn’t have my first kiss until I was 18 and it didn’t go further. That story got blown out of proportion, I was coined as a lesbian freak, causing me to delete all my social media until graduation. It sucks, kids have all this power at their fingertips now and it’s scary
One of my childhood best friends was someone who started as my bully, one day got tired of being picked on, knocked the wind out of him, felt bad and we just talked and bonded. Sometimes if you allow someone to do something w/o consequence then they’ll think it’s non-consequential by default.
I’m constantly baffled by the amount of people who feel the need to post negative comments on harmless things. Every woman comedian I follow has tons of comments about how she’s not funny. And I’m always like, why’d you have to comment that? Just keep scrolling until you find someone you do think is funny. I know it’s because of sexism but it bugs me. Like these commenters think that they are the authority on what’s funny and it’s their duty to tell the comedian to choose another career/hobby. But humor is a matter of taste and preference just like all art forms. Sorry, my pet peeve rant was triggered lol
The husband story is similar to my neighbor but he divorced the wife and started a relationship the lead to him marrying the kid. The relationship started when the kid was 15 to 16
So incel is still a pretty prevalent thing on the internet, however its good to acknowledge that people abuse that term a lot as well. "You dont have the same opinion as me. You must be an incel." Hell, I have been called that because I didn't want to date someone outside of my personal preference at the time. Never overuse a term, or else you risk reducing the seriousness of the *actual* person that fits the term.
I saw a facebook post one time that was somethin about an onlyfans girls family hating her for doing onlyfans. I commented somethin about how her family wouldnt hate her if she wasnt a 2/10 OF model, a lady responded to me "ok incel". Like, what? 😂
I had an egirl call me an incel cause I was calling her out for her mistakes in a team game we were playing. My response is always “Bitch, I have a vagina too. You just suck.” And then they get quiet. 😂
Feeling entitled to women/sex based on X/Y/Z is kinda hard to misinterpret, and nothing in the video misconstrued that so seems weird to jump to the defensive and create a hypothetical strawman who’s being called an incel (and that somehow being something they wouldn’t just brush off if they’re not one…)
My kids are 7. I’ve told them repeatedly that if they want privacy, it’s a paper diary (I will never violate that). But, No private email, no smartphone, no social media, etc, until 18.
I relate to so much of this. I'm autistic and while I'm definitely not an incel, I'm very pessimistic when it comes to love and romance because of my issues being involved or even getting into a romantic relationship. My depression has been really bad lately and I've been going to bed angry at myself for my circumstances and unfollowing people who post nothing but their romantic lives on social media. I'm not very familiar with life outside Illinois and it's easily been more than a decade since I've crossed state lines. I consider myself lucky that I have a circle of friends I reconnected with a couple years back and they make sure I know I'm loved. In high school, I didn't feel that way and I tried to take my own life twice when I was 19. I'm much better off now, but am definitely struggling. I really enjoyed hearing your takes on all this, Kruz. You're amazing.
There is this really good Korean movie called Innocent Witness. A girl with Asperger's witnesses a murder and a laywer is trying to get her to make a statement in court. This movie teaches alot about autism. It's really good
I'm 17 and I am enlisting in the Army. I am turning 18 in a few weeks and will be aging out of foster care. I feel like the military is a good place for me to go. I've never really wanted to do it but it will help a ton. Mainly discipline and financial security. Growing up poor has really had an effect on me, I feel like I need to do whatever I can to have security in all aspects. On the other hand I am really proud of how far I've come. I just recently bought my first car and I really appreciate that my Father has been here for me in my journey.
9:33 yeah you’re right, yesterday my dad and I were at Walmart buying new jackets since our zippers came off and throughout the time we were shopping we heard this little kid screaming for hours and I think that was the kids first time hearing the word “no”
An incel is someone that wants to actively have sex with others, but nobody wants to have sex with them. The definition in the video is just how people refer to incels; though it does describe a specific group of incels.
On the topic of the first story, i had a friend who's mom begged him to move out because her new husband gave her the ultimatum. He felt that 27 was too old for a man to be living with his mother (he was in Uni and broke so it was easier to live at home). Long story short her reasoning for choosing the husband was that she believed that her son "destined" for a happier life and would eventually leave her alone for years and she didn't want to be alone, but she didnt want to burn a bridge with her son... it was very taxing mentally and physically on her.
About the second story: Julia said *she* didn't deserve love because she thought she was fat. Yes, that does imply she thinks fat people didn't deserve love, but she didn't talk about OP's wife. And HR didn't defend Julia, they had an investigation and clearly were siding with OP on the issue.
As someone who has autism, I can 100% agree with this. There’s usually a disassociation between their views and their behaviors…maybe more of a disconnect.
So I was really high at 0200 in the morning and when Kruz started explaining what an incel was, I started waving my hands around saying out loud, "Wait, slow down! What!? But who? I need an example now!" New subscriber!
The talk of enlistment has me wondering. I grew up with my dad in the Army. As a child and early teen, i always thought my dad loved the Army. As such, once i was old enoughi went to join the army like my old man. I was denied for medical reasons. Knowing what i know know about myself and more importantly about my dad during that time, i honestly wonder if would have even considered it at the time.
All of the people that bullied Kruz in high school are now in terrible relationships and only have a handful of their friends. Guarantee it. Where as Kruz is happy, has a job that she loves, and about half a million people that think she's a wonderful person.
Hey Kruz as you are probably aware: UA-cam has a gaming recap now and shows different categories such as top creators and stuff like that. Anyways it showed that I’m in the top .07% of Kruz fans. Just want to say thank you for the laughs and good times, have definitely helped a lot in life. Wish you all the best in your bright and glistening future ❤️
all social media needs to be 18+ and any social media company that doesnt comply needs to have it ceo jailed and the company fined. We have more than enough scientific proof of how bad it is for kids.
not being a debby downer, i joined the army in 2002 cause i wanted to die, my best friend died and in a way i died on the inside. now at almost 40 i have no one. i dont care either. i enjoy my peace and enjoy the silence. i do have people i can talk to but thats it i dont want friends.
25:17 this is why I hate using the word religion, she doesn't need religion she needs a relationship with her lord and Savior Jesus who wants a relationship with every single one of us
Usually when women say they are incel, they go on a whole rant how they couldnt find a boyfriend with their huge checklist and they werent in love and they guy friends werent interesting etc.
It's crazy how easy it is for people to fall into those incel/right wing rabbit holes especially when they are angry/depressed/bullied/etc and they they don't have good people around them to help pull them out of it. I found myself years ago getting sucked into that right wing sphere when my depression spiraled, I don't know what specifically woke me up to how idiotic I was being (and thankfully I wasn't in that had space for too long) but thankfully I didn't do/say anything terrible online or in person. Though it's embarrassing to think back on some of the views I used to hold
just cause your kid is online, does not mean you cant parent your kid. you arent a parent so you wouldnt understand what it takes talking and communicating with your child so they understand all those things you brought up as issues with the internet. I grew up online, but I also understood the internet was not reality, my wife and I have made certain our child understands this. It is called parenting. If you do it right, your kid can do a lot of stuff.
I'm sorry, I can't watch this video anymore. Do people not know right from wrong? The whole incell into the stepdad, can't do it. Our society is disgusting.
I don’t think that message about the military is fully accurate. See now my ex best friend joined the military and I also wanted to go as well but see what happened with me was that I am disabled and my lungs are half the size they should be so physically I was unable to join but you have to be in the right state of mind to join as well. If you are depressed or not sure or anything like that then it’s not for you. Also yes you could make some new friends and then maybe they could become your family but what happens if you always think that no one loves you or you’re just annoying to everyone and you distance yourself from everyone and then everyone else just doesn’t bother with you and then you are feeling alone and you just snap. And what if you are in battle and just give up? Not to mention you get nothing of your personal belongings or comfort stuff. You don’t get any of that. You also can’t sleep in, you have to be fit and in shape and then you get back home and get hardly any money, no one wants to hire you, you can be deemed unstable and unsafe and you get locked up or your depression and everything builds up and leads to drugs or alcohol and then you have no money, no house nothing. Think about that before you go and try to sign up cause it’s not for everyone and yeah my ex best friend of 21 who was in the military changed. He turned my family against me stole from me and threw me out. Don’t be thinking the military is an easy option that gives you a ton of money cause it doesn’t and it’s not

Grew up playing Gears of War, gory as all hell, and I agree, I never had any issues with people though so I'm biased with that
Taylor with another great one liner

after that incel post, I realize my self esteem is nowhere near as bad as I thought it was. I hope that parent's daughter is doing better now.

If the term can be used as an insult and it's a recent/heinous (Nazi, racist, bigot) term then it tends to be overused and abused
@fromashes7818 yes and I hate it because it really does chip away at the severity of ACTUAL nazis and incels. Like those people are fuckin crazy

An incel is someone that wants to actively have sex with others, but nobody wants to have sex with them. The definition in the video is just how people refer to incels; though it does describe a specific group of incels.
and the female equivalent is "Femcel" (go figure)
She did say she was reading the Urban Dictionary of it, and UD isnt exactly the most serious, but yeah you're right both definitions apply
On the topic of the first story, i had a friend who's mom begged him to move out because her new husband gave her the ultimatum.

STEP KRUZ!!
Mom says hello, I’m away from the house, go visit her dammit.
All of the people that bullied Kruz in high school are now in terrible relationships and only have a handful of their friends. Guarantee it. Where as Kruz is happy, has a job that she loves, and about half a million people that think she's a wonderful person.
Hey Kruz as you are probably aware: UA-cam has a gaming recap now and shows different categories such as top creators and stuff like that. Anyways it showed that I’m in the top .07% of Kruz fans. Just want to say thank you for the laughs and good times, have definitely helped a lot in life. Wish you all the best in your bright and glistening future ❤️
I'm just glad you have a good community now. Keep being you.
all social media needs to be 18+ and any social media company that doesnt comply needs to have it ceo jailed and the company fined. We have more than enough scientific proof of how bad it is for kids.
plz plz plz more of these. I love reflecting on stuff like this ^_^
Kruz ima need you to go visit my mom she’s been lonely while I’m at college and also this was a crazy stream but loved every second
its funny that i was on reddit when i got the notification for this videos release
Im a confusing person. For some reason, every time someone i like s tarts to show interest in me, i immediately lose interest.
Well done to you for sticking to streaming after the stuff you went through in the beginning, amazing 😊
not being a debby downer, i joined the army in 2002 cause i wanted to die, my best friend died and in a way i died on the inside. now at almost 40 i have no one. i dont care either. i enjoy my peace and enjoy the silence. i do have people i can talk to but thats it i dont want friends.
this was crazy
Is Kruz familiar with using the way back machine to read deleted articles?
i friggin LOVE aita bro, its so cool
Could you do this again I enjoyed this type of video and I'm sorry you had to deal with those a-holes
25:17 this is why I hate using the word religion, she doesn't need religion she needs a relationship with her lord and Savior Jesus who wants a relationship with every single one of us
Amen, although being involved with Christ's church is part of a relationship with Him. He loves His bride, so should we.
I do, too, but I include a capitol P.
This was fun, I liked this one. :)
Great incite on everything.
Hey Julia if you ever see this, quit being a damn karen. Respectfully.
sorry for the pain i caused
Kruz, please tell Twitch chat UA-cam viewers say hello!
I only got on Facebook at 13 so I could play Farmville.
Usually when women say they are incel, they go on a whole rant how they couldnt find a boyfriend with their huge checklist and they werent in love and they guy friends werent interesting etc.
Minus one thing why should body shape matter. Don't feminist say all bodies are beautiful?
UPDATE the chrome bro
It's crazy how easy it is for people to fall into those incel/right wing rabbit holes especially when they are angry/depressed/bullied/etc and they they don't have good people around them to help pull them out of it.

Seeee Kruz, that's what happens when you switch to dark mode, which is why "light mode" is FAAAR superior
*NO*
The microphone is right in front of you, Why are you yelling?
Why the yelling?
unwatchable content because of the yelling
